"Draw your daggers and let the enemy groan like wild dogs under our swords!"

As he was about to leave, Anthony was on the podium of the barracks, loudly speaking inciting the Legion to completely wipe out the rebels, aiming directly at Sextus. Everyone understands www.biquge.info that Spain is about to become Caesar's domain, and Sextus's resistance is like a single tree in a strong wind, unable to stop the tide of Caesar's legion's advance.

The soldiers responded feverishly to the call of their commander-in-chief, and the entire barracks was filled with voices of revenge, declarations of war, and thirst for plunder. The soldiers didn't even stop for a moment to sharpen their knives.

Octavia, on the other hand, found Appis again worriedly. She didn't want to see her husband and her lover fight each other, and she didn't want to see Anthony the beast wipe Sextus out completely. After all, after two years of getting along day and night, it's hard to say that Octavia doesn't have feelings for Sextus.

"Beloved, you must know that I have no authority to stop this war. As long as Sextus has not given up resistance and is still organizing an army to fight Caesar, then Antony will not let him go. You know what this beast will do when it captures the enemy commander alive, and I can't give you any guarantees, my dear, even if I don't want to see you hurt and cry. ”

When Appis stood in front of his former lover and beloved and said this, he was actually extremely entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he had not completely severed his feelings, and on the other hand, he really didn't want to see Octavia hurt and heartbroken like this, after all, Octavia was also innocent in this dispute. Many times, Apis wished that he could slash Sektus with his own hands, and it was he who snatched his woman, however, in this way, Octavia would not really be relieved and happy, the human heart is so complex, especially emotions, like a thread that is constantly chopped, intricate and chaotic. And, in fact, even if Octavia had not married Sextus in the first place, she would have married Pompey's other cronies because of her special status, and even Caesar was not the most fundamental reason, it was time for the entire Roman society to change. And in between, there are always victims......

"Is there really no way? Apis, I believe you can do it, you can figure it out. You are always so surprising and admirable. The soldiers are telling you about your deeds, aren't they? Honey, help me, even though I know you don't want to do it......"

Octavia spoke, her expression suddenly darkened, and she said something that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. The affection for the two men tormented her, making this originally innocent and beautiful girl melancholy and haggard. Compared with the elegant plaster statue in Pompeii's villa, Octavia at this time was like a withered kapok, withered and withered by reality.

……

"I can write to Sextus and persuade him to surrender. And surrender the military power. In the meantime, I can write to Caesar and ask him to forgive Sextus for his rebellion and save his life. And, give him a villa, take you, and live away from Rome. I think, for your sake, Caesar will agree. After all, he's also your uncle. ”

After staring at Octavia for a long time, Apis slowly said his method. It's simple, but it's the only way to solve it right now. If you have to preserve both parties.

"Then let's go and make an appointment with him, I can convince him. Let him give up crazy thoughts. Don't oppose my uncle anymore. ”

Octavia said excitedly.

However, Appis seems to see a little bit of his past emotions draining. The people who fell in love at the beginning could not get together in the end, this is the reality, no matter where they go, since the human society has status, wealth, it is destined to have many tragic and helpless marriages.

"I hope so."

Appis smiled wryly.

……

"Hey, man, did you really agree to that woman's request?"

Crane appeared again in time after Octavia left, and Appis didn't even know how this buddy hid himself, and appeared again and again when he was just trying to call him. But it's okay, just in time for a new assignment.

"Yes, is there anything wrong with acceding to her request?"

Apis pretended to be innocent and asked Klein. Then I looked at the big man stunned.

"Of course not, Appis, I have known your feelings for this woman for a long time, but it is her man who wants you to save. This **, in other words, it is me, to be able to kill the enemy in my love field, and then sleep the woman who belongs to me ten thousand times, which is simply the most pleasant thing, but you actually agreed to her request to help her rescue her husband? I really want to scold you, buddy. ”

Klein's hearty and straightforward personality is like this, but this is also the reason why Apis trusts and likes to reuse Klein the most, he has no scheming, and he is his life-and-death comrade-in-arms for many years.

"What do you want to scold me? Partner. Octavia may not be my woman anymore, and even if I take possession of her body again, I will no longer be able to get all of her mind. What is the point of such possession? What's more, I can't take anything from her here, Octavian is his brother, and he is now in this barracks. Antony was Caesar's most senior general, and it's not for me to say it here. Brothers. So, I still have to be respectful to Octavia. Because she's not my woman, it's just that we have a beautiful and sad past. And now, Octavia has come to me, hoping that I will persuade Sextus to stop fighting, and that would not hurt that. Why should things that can be solved by peaceful means have to be replaced by war and bloodshed? Perhaps Octavia and I can really convince Sextus to abandon his childish approach. As long as he gives up his military power and returns to Rome, do you think I won't have a chance to kill him? How can a civilian fight against a legion commander with military power? When the identities are exchanged, I want to give him a taste of what it is like to be a civilian without freedom and without human rights. It's an easy thing to do, isn't it? Taking a step back, if Sextus does not agree to our persuasion and stubbornly leads his troops to battle, then we have all the more reason to launch a campaign to destroy him. It's just that killing him with a sword on the battlefield is cheaper for him. ”

Appis sat down in front of Klein and talked endlessly. And Klein, who was in front of him, once again made a look of great admiration. Civilian, it's not that he can't fiddle with power tricks, he can't lead troops into battle, more often than not, it's just that he doesn't have a chance. Klein found this in Appis. When it was a gladiator academy, who would have thought that an inconspicuous slave would end up as a cunning Roman legion commander?

"But you have to keep your hands on when you meet that mad dog."

Klein then remembered something.

"That's a must, brother. I'm about to give you this task. Tonight, help me to the Legion camp, select a hundred-man team, and let the centurion listen to your code, and you will come with me when I meet that mad dog. If Sextus behaves in any way during the meeting, you will send a secret signal for this team of 100 to surround the place where we are meeting. Hiding is the most critical, and when the time comes, I will pick out the place to meet, in the jungle. ”

Appis said.

"But the location isn't up to you?"

Klein then asked.

"Whether it is up to me or not, the place of the meeting must be hidden, and Sextus knows that with Antony's character, he will not agree to make peace with the enemy in the event of absolute superiority, so Sextus knows that this matter cannot be known to Anthony and his men, so we share with him the idea that the place of the meeting must be easy to hide, and even if it is not a jungle, it is some remote area. And we don't have to worry about him bringing more people than we do, because Octavia is still in our hands, and Sextus doesn't know about my past friendship with his wife, and he thinks that if the negotiations break down, I'll take Octavia hostage and kill her. For all these reasons, we don't have to worry too much. ”

In the face of Klein's question, Apis once again explained thoughtfully. (To be continued.) )
