The news of Lepida's defeat and killing soon became the headlines of the citizens of various towns in Rome, and the news naturally soon reached the ears of Antony and Octavian, who were fighting in Greece, and the whole of Rome was already panicked when Apis knew the news, however, the war between Octavian, Antony and Brutus was still not over, and after the defeat of Cventus, Brutus fled to the mountains north of Macedonia with the remnants of his army. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and at the moment, the obvious situation is that neither Octavian nor Antony is willing to draw out the legions to be consumed in the war against the Germans. Because the war against Brutus was coming to an end, Antony and Octavian wanted to seize the rich land of the East after the war was over. Although the extermination of the Germanic people will be praised by the Roman people, it will consume a lot of manpower and financial resources, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Naturally, such a matter would require an emergency military meeting to decide......

"Let me, then, hire a new legion, go to Gaul, and finally wipe out these barbarians in Gaul once again."

During the arguing military meeting, Apis dragged his body from a serious illness to his feet and spoke loudly. Immediately, everyone's eyes on the scene focused on this newly promoted Roman nobleman who had just turned thirty.

"Are you crazy? Appis, this is a matter of great concern for the safety of Rome, and even Octavian and Antony are not sure to defeat the barbarians, so how sure can you defeat the Germans? Your body is even just getting better. ”

Fabius retorted worriedly.

"I have enough assets, as everyone in this room knows."

Faced with Fabius's questioning, Apis calmly responded. And this explanation seems to make it impossible for those present to refute, everyone knows that during the three years of the Roman peace, Apis opened the largest guarantee agency in Rome, and acquired a large number of mines, estates, plus manipulating land prices, buying and selling real estate, Apis's assets before Octavian inherited Caesar's inheritance, can be described as one of the top nobles in Rome. Coupled with his rich combat experience, it seemed appropriate for him to organize the legions to go north to fight the Germans.

"Are you going to use all your wealth in Rome to hire a large army to fight the Germans?"

"Why not? The threat of the barbarians to Rome is close at hand, and if Rome is gone, then my assets in the capital will become worthless, so if I don't use up my wealth at this time, I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future. ”

Appis replied calmly. Although such a speech was in the official language, it was recognized by everyone, because under the special circumstances, no one wanted to go to the north and live a life that was both hard and unprofitable. You know, after defeating Brutus, there were large and wealthy cities in the East waiting for the conquerors to plunder, and what did the Germans have? North of the Rhine was almost endless forests, without any valuable resources or towns, and Gaul, under the conquest and plunder of Caesar, the Germans, was almost consumed. The people who returned to the north were probably just Roman iron-blooded people, fighting for glory, not just for money.

And this move of Apis also happened to alleviate the embarrassing situation of Antony and Octavian.

It was as if someone had raised their hand to take the hot potato, and Antony and Octavian felt happy from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that Octavian is smarter, since Apis said that he would take over the Northern Army, the young Octavian has doubted Apis's motives from the heart, why? Every time no one wants to do something, Apis does it? Could it be that this time, he was just out of affection for Lepida? Just to avenge Lepida? Octavian frowned again and said nothing.

It was Anthony, who stood up and walked towards Appis with a smile. With a confused gaze, he looked at Appis, who was weak at the moment.

"Appis, the pride of Rome, for the sake of victory in this war, I am willing to send the Fourteenth Legion to you, the Germans are the common enemies of the Romans, and I think, in this matter, I cannot stand idly by."

Anthony held Appis in one hand, and habitually made the gesture of the speech with the other. He waved his arms and announced in a loud voice. Such a decision was undoubtedly not only to please the Roman population, but also to weaken Octavian's forces on the Greek front.

Octavian knew that at this time, Antony acted like this, which was to force himself to send a legion to Appis, otherwise, the people of Rome would think that even Antony had selflessly handed over his legion for Rome, while Caesar's heir did not act, which inevitably made people doubt Octavian's character and open-mindedness. However, Octavian also knew that many of Antony's legions in Greece were recruits he recruited in Gaul, and some were not even composed of citizen soldiers, and on his side, although there were not many legions in Greece, they were all Caesar's elite veteran legions.

But Antony had already made a statement, and Octavian knew that there was no way back.

So, in the expectant gaze of the crowd, young Octavian stood up, walked up to Appis, and said calmly-

"For the sake of Rome, the Ninth Legion will be re-entrusted to you, Appis."

On the scene, a dramatic scene appeared, which perfectly solved the Germanic trouble, at least the military meeting that was originally thought to be fruitless, produced a substantive result.

And Appis Gneeus, who has been unknown in this dispute, has finally climbed onto the stage of history.

Of course, in order to truly solve this crisis, Apis knew that his own strength was not enough, and as soon as the military meeting was over, Apis found Crassus Jr...... Yes, it was the son of Licinius Crassus, the richest man in Rome, who needed his funds to be able to defeat the army of 30,000 people, and this Germanic invasion must not have been accidental, it was an organized and premeditated massacre, and the Germanic people would be on a scale beyond the imagination of all Romans, perhaps it was a great migration of peoples. What Appis had to do was to ensure that the legion had at least half a year's worth of military pay and food reserves before the war began again.
