Chapter 10: Declaration of War (Part I)

The temple opposite was in a commotion at first, and the senators kept showing their little heads and snooping and talking ridiculously in the dark corners, and they complained to each other about why they didn't arm their portal slaves earlier, so as not to be constrained by Dehemos in everything, and then fell silent, as if discussing something in secret, and after a while Brutus and Aetius really came out.

"Long time no see, Aetius, the last time we met directly was when Caesar had just crossed the Rubicon a few years ago." Seeing Aetius, Li Bida greeted with a smile.

"Well, I will always remember the day when you carried the name of the Thirteen Twin Stars, but in fact, from the commander to the first soldier, it was a barbarian army wearing cloaks and armor at the expense of the state, the enemy of the Republic, who captured the great city of Rome, and forced me to hand over the keys and sack the Holy Treasury, because the money in it was itself used against you foreign barbarians." Aetius angrily launched a verbal attack.

Alp angrily pulled out the sharp Habai's sword from his belt, but was pressed down by Li Bida, "I am relieved to see your reaction like this, when His Excellency Crassus was on an expedition to Parthia, you burned and cursed at the city gate, hoping that Crassus would not die well, and then you also cursed Caesar for not dying well, and now it is my turn again, isn't it?" ”

"Of course, all the spirits will come to you, and you will and will suffer the same tragic fate." Aetius said with a look of resentment on his face.

Li Bida laughed, "Aetius, I've heard for a long time that you're a character who is good at cursing and driving away ghosts. He also studied divination and prophecy. But you need to know. Spirits need sacrifices to function, and the previous deaths of Crassus and Caesar have overwhelmed the spirits in your hands, and they are slowly demanding more rewards and sacrifices from you, and when they are not satisfied, they will tear at your fortune and flesh like enraged monkeys, which is in the words of Seris. It's called 'retribution,' and eventually you will die under the spirit of the spirit you rely on, and your death will be extremely miserable and you will never recover. ”

These words choked Aetius speechless, and if he admitted that his demonic curse was valid, it would be tantamount to acknowledging the fate of what Lybida had said; But if he doesn't admit it, then his previous words are just a trick.

"Alright, Libidaeus, we have come out to ask why you came to the Holy Mountain with the Armed Guards, do you really have the courage to come to the bloody Chosen Father? In that case, you would consider yourself a public enemy, and a barbarian. Moreover. Soon the Fifth Legion and the City Legion will be here, and they will send men for us to summon them, and do not think that we can only rely on the armament of Dehemoth. Therefore, you had better go quickly, lest your life be lost here, and the Senate has the right to summarily execute anyone who comes to Jupiter's Temple armed with arms. Brutus interrupted everyone's conversation, and the warning was also an exhortation.

But Li Bida didn't care, he smiled and pointed at the two of them and said, "That's why I called you two out, Aetius you are the brains of the entire murderer group, and Brutus you are the banner, you two are fully qualified to represent the people in this temple." Then his gaze swept into the faces of all the people in the dark temple like arrows, "I am the one who wants to avenge Caesar, I have come with the armed guards this time, not to slaughter you, but to declare war on you, because Caesar's ghost tells me that this time has not yet come, but it will come, and that great white comet will come back to this world in three years, unlike the last time, it will come next time, and it will take your lives with you, so do it yourself!" ”

"What hubris!" Aetius replied that at this time the senators in the temple could hardly believe their ears, a general of foreign origin dared to say such a rebellious word to the senate, and many beat their chests and scolded, but they did not dare to do anything to Li Bida, because behind him were strong and well-armed warriors.

Just when the whole scene was in chaos, there was a dense sound of trumpets and footsteps at the foot of the mountain, "It's the Lark Legion coming!" Casca and Spinzer, who had been hiding inside, shouted in ecstasy and rushed down the steps, and then they stood in front of Li Bida, like sword slaves in victory, and loudly announced the words "You're finished."

Sure enough, the five legions, with high feathers and Celtic shields, moved quickly to occupy all the streets and points below Capitol Hill to form a siege line, and then the Tarraco cavalry stepped out of the infantry line in full armor, forming a prominent front arrow, led by Anthony's lieutenant Wentitis.

"Liberius, don't be too reckless, Liberidaus! To borrow your words, you have to think about Yulia, think about Potty! Brutus watched as Li Bida pushed aside the Medejie guards behind him and walked calmly towards the bottom of the mountain, he hurriedly chased after him and shouted, but was quickly stopped by Aetius, "Let him and Antony kill each other." ”

Li Bida wore a toga robe, led the guards, and slowly walked to the front of the infantry of the Fifth Legion, at this time many cavalry thought that he was the previous cavalry commander, and they pulled the reins and moved back uneasily, and the deputy general of the financial officer, Wentitis, hid behind all the cavalry, and did not dare to have a visual touch with Li Bida, in fact, when he received the task, he took this scene into account, but there was no way, "Anthony, this bastard, stayed in the manor by himself, but asked us to take on this drudgery. ”

At this time, Gaius also hid under the eagle mark in the infantry queue behind, listening to the chatter of the restless soldiers, and hated the errand delivered by his brother in his heart.

"Wentidis, I'm going to talk to your prefect, Anthony." Li Bida walked to a place less than fifteen Roman feet in front of the Talaco cavalry, and said loudly.

And the other party just turned his head back, and all the cavalry eyes were focused on him, which made Wentitis even more embarrassed, and Li Bida shouted angrily when he saw this, "You are Corsican, and you were recruited to serve as a military tribune when I returned to Sardinia earlier, and now you are going to turn a deaf ear to my request!" ”

"Excuse me, Cavalry Commander!" Wentitis rolled over and dismounted, then he pointed to the queue behind him and replied, "I am not the Supreme Commander, Gaius. Anthony is, he's in the infantry brigade at the back. ”

"Gaius, I'm coming!" With that, Li Bida threw the guards behind and strode in the direction that Wentitis had pointed. (To be continued......)
