"This is the eternal truth in war, to protect the flanks and rears of your army, and to try to attack the flanks and rears of your opponents." - King Frederick the Great of Prussian King

Three days later, Marclus's First Legion and the Third Legion, carried by Telureas, rushed into the port of the city of Lilibi without any resistance. The strongholds guarding Sardinia, Sicily and Africa Triangle's key sea area announced the change of flags. All soldiers, paddlers and citizens gathered to the streets and squares. In their eyes, "Lilibi obtained the destiny and status that should be obtained, and it turned to the former liberator, the current assassinated hero Caesar, even if he was no longer alive."

Aquila, who was in Meggara City, another corner of the island, was stunned. He was still fighting a lawsuit with Tlureas about supreme command, but unexpectedly, the six legions of the other side, from the ascending to Sardinia and then to the miserable surrender of Yugebra, had only been eight days since the beginning and end, and it happened to be a market day.

Then with the fall of Lilibi, the question before Aquila was highlighted: whether to fight, surrender, or escape.

In the camp in Port Cararis, before sending troops, Li Bida held a joint meeting between the commander of the army and the chief centurion. At the meeting, many people were concerned about when to command the troops and enter the city of Italy and Rome, completely wipe out the murderer group and the remnants of Pompei, and reinforce the war between Caesar and Octavia.

"My plan is to seize Sicily first, lest it pose a threat on the flanks. Because the envoy Aquila here is also a notorious traitor. If my team continues to grow, it must do some practical actions to comfort Caesar's heroic spirit in heaven." Li Bida rejected everyone's proposal, as if he had a deeper focus.

Then Li Bida's manifesto was sent to the city of Meccara in a wind, with only a few lines in it, "The noble descendants of the Emilius clan have prepared gold of equal weight to your head for the treacherous one."

Seeing this, Aquila was frightened. He understood that Li Bida was not ready to forgive him and wanted to kill him to warn him. It seemed that Telureas was still worth it. As the first surrender, he was able to save his post and his life, but he was too late.

What are you going to fight against Li Bida now? Within a market day, the opponent transformed himself. After his subordinates compressed him, there were still four full-formed legions, plus powerful archers and cavalry support, and a huge fleet. His subordinates had already been almost rebelled. After figuring it out, Aquila sold all the public and private property of the Governor's Office. He recruited mercenaries from Sicily, which was a world-famous "local specialty" in the Great Greek era. Then he announced that all the slaves of the portal were liberated, armed them as their own guards, and prepared to escape from the Strait of Messina to Italy.

As a result, at this time, the news came that the 13th and 15th Legion, which Li Bida resumed the service, and the "Isthmus Legion" formed by Gallic and German prisoners of war, had landed under the leadership of Petternius. The three legions completely controlled the southern part of Italy, and he had no way out.

The next day, Li Bida's fleet guarded his own camp, and the Seventh and Twenty-Eighth Legions landed at the Port of Cotaro, northeast of Meggara City, and rushed towards his own city.

At the same time, the First and Third Legions, which he had just subdued, also pressed towards Meccara along the streets of South Sicily.

At this moment, Aquila had no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and the recruited guards were useless. After he walked out of the city gates hesitantly, he scattered like birds and beasts.

Aquila, who was confused, could only ride a horse and found the camp that Li Bida had lasted for several miles outside the city of Cotaro, walked into the village gate, and announced his surrender to Li Bida.

Li Bida, who was sitting in the small square in front of the camp, ordered his entourage and guards to rush up and pull Aquila off the horse's back. Then he smashed his saddle and bridle in front of all the soldiers, then took off all his armor and cloak, and pressed his head naked in front of Li Bida.

"You have always been known for your mediocrity and incompetence in the previous battles of Afiriga. The fleet you commanded cannot guarantee the safe delivery of materials, nor dare to fight against the enemy's ships, but Caesar still recognized you, but you did not think that it was the commander's mercy on you, and he foolishly thought it was justified, but even so, it would be fine. You conspired with the murderers to kill His Excellency Julius and committed such a horrifying crime. You shamelessly occupied an important position and plundered soldiers and the people. Today, I, Libidaus, will avenge Caesar, and you are the prey." After saying that, Libida took his hand back and Habaruka took out the wooden box. After opening it into a plate, everyone saw that it was indeed a head made of pure gold!

Then Li Bida walked forward and stepped on Aquila's head in the soil, making him unable to speak at all. Then he announced, "I will do my best to say anything. This golden head is for Aquila's real head!"

Then, several entourages pulled out a cold axe from the rod, and then a red light flashed. Aquila's head separated from his body. Li Bida kicked with his feet and the head rolled far away!

All the officers and soldiers shouted, and then Libida pointed to the fascist entourage and said, "Insult his body and sent it to the Senate!" Then he said to his tribes, "This golden head is your glory and merit. Wait until the first. After the Third Legion came here, I will melt it and change it into an equivalent silver coin and give it to the owner of the legion, and in addition, the additional silver coin of two hundred dinars for all the towns that financed the traitor Aquila. You should now shout a slogan of thanks to Aquila."

Everyone burst into laughter, but then they really shouted, "Thanks to Aquila for his death."

Aquila's terrible body was loaded in a stone coffin, hooked up with the butcher's iron hook, and transported it to the city of Rome. Li Bida specially transferred four quick paddle boats for this. At this moment, Octavian had already swore to go on the battle, so when the slave placed the stone coffin in Julia's Hall, then transported Aquila's almost broken body and the head of his mouth, nose, ears, and ears, and eyes to the hall. When he was in the center, almost all the veterans felt that their livers had popped up. They covered their eyes or nose with their robes, and did not dare to face the terrifying appearance of Aquila's corpse, and could not bear the stench of that corpse.

Among them, Casca and Spingzel recalled that when Li Bida took the guards to climb Capitola Mountain, he said publicly to them, "I will declare war on you, the elected fathers of the Roman Republic!"
