"Brothers, the honorable Lord Mark Anthony, has granted our request to double the salary for each of us, God witnesses, let us thank the beloved Mark Anthony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the sea of corpses after the bloody battle, Apis raised his arms and shouted. Subsequently, the surviving soldiers of the Tenth Legion erupted in an unprecedentedly enthusiastic response. Their hands and faces were still stained with enemy blood, like bloodthirsty beasts. They are real fighters. It was also something that Appis liked.

And now, all the soldiers actually know that the fact that their salaries can be doubled is the credit of their own legion commander Appis, because the Tenth Legion is not under the jurisdiction of Mark Antony here, and this cavalry commander is generous, but he will not be generous to the point of raising the salary of other people's legionnaires, and only Apis can fight for their benefits. So, while the soldiers shouted thanks to Anthony, they were grateful to Appis in their hearts.

Appis, on the other hand, was covered in blood and bathed in the joy of his companions.

……

"This cunning Appis, I will be trained in front of Caesar, because I cost him more money, and Apis, through me, gets the benefits he wants. Damn animals. ”

While the Tenth Legion celebrated its victory amid the pile of enemy corpses, Anthony gritted his teeth at the scene in front of him. In fact, I didn't get much credit for this battle, but I had to do it. Appis killed three birds with one stone, and he only gained a small profit. Thinking of this, Anthony always can't get over the hurdle of psychological resentment.

'We should take advantage of the situation to attack Sektus' camp, I think at this point he doesn't have the strength to defend his camp. And most of his supplies are still in the camp. ”

After the excitement, Appis was not carried away by the joy of victory, and immediately ran over to Anthony and said. And Anthony could only repeatedly acquiesce to Appis's opinion.

At dusk, before the legions had finished dealing with the battlefield, they rushed towards the camp of Sextus, and just as Appis had predicted, the whole camp was already in disarray.

"Search every tent, Roman citizens willing to surrender, friends, partners. Those who are still resisting will be killed on the spot. ”

Appis led the charge into the camp with a simple order, and then the soldiers plundered like beasts, and before they even had time to wash the blood from their bodies, they rushed into the camp of Sextus, and searched the tents in each camp to see if there was anything worth plundering, and even though most of the spoils belonged to their commander, there were still a few that they could own.

"Legion Commander."

When the soldiers searched a luxury tent, they found a noble girl crying at the bedside. Since the legionnaires did not have the power to **** Roman noble women at will, the soldiers brought in Appis, who was arranging the work of the legion.

And there is no doubt that when the two face each other again, it is not as enthusiastic and excited as they were at the beginning, but inevitably sad and desolate.

Octavia looked at Appis, whose face was covered in blood, and his former lover was now standing in front of him like a bloodthirsty beast. And now she is someone else's wife, although in the Roman concept, it is normal for a noble woman to have a lover, but now it seems that even if she is a lover, Octavia can no longer be able to be with Apis, because her husband is Apis's mortal enemy......

"Aduneus."

All the past and good moments have become bloody injuries, and every time I remember them, I add more pain to them. And too many words came to his mouth, but he could never speak, and in the end, he could only call out a sad name.

Appis looked at Octavia in front of her, her belly seemed to bulge slightly, and it was clear that she was pregnant. An inexplicable pain struck him, and Appis felt extremely painful.

It's supposed to be indifferent, isn't it? But after all, people have feelings, even if they are crossing dogs, but like all people in this era, they still have feelings, and Appis feels that he can't escape from this bondage, however, he has to be freed, just trying again and again, but only heartache again and again.

Even if Emma was warm and comforted, it was still only comfort after the injury, and when Octavia was really standing in front of him, Appis couldn't help but touch her hair with his hand.

"Ma'am."

However, when the words came to his lips, they were no longer the sweet words of the past, but were replaced by polite titles.

"Aduneus, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"

Octavia wept, her trembling body like a weak and helpless kitten. However, Apis wanted to embrace her, but he remembered the scene when she was defiled by Sextus. It was a painful feeling. In the end, Appis just lightly put his hand on the shoulder of his former lover. Everything in the past seems to have become a dream story.

"It's not your fault, Octavia. This is our fate. ”

Appis sighed deeply, then said.

Perhaps, driving away their rivals, opponents, and catching the woman who belongs to them again, this is a very exciting and comfortable thing in the eyes of many people, but, sadly, it came too late.

"It's not fair to us."

It took a long time for Octavia to calm down and spat out a few words from her trembling lips.

Appis felt a strangeness, and the passionate lover who had once talked about everything and was naturally lively had become a little strange at the moment.

"There is no fair ...... in the world"

Apis sat down, placed his saber on the table, and slowly returned.

"Yes...... No matter what. ”

Octavia suddenly realized that this sentence was a summary of the man in front of him after countless tribulations, and it was a shadow of this era. Commoners may be destined to be commoners by birth, few people can be nobles, and it is almost impossible for commoners to marry nobles. Even though there was no legal rule that Roman commoners could not marry nobles.

But the reality is that there are still many lovers like himself and Appis, and most of their endings are also tragic.

"Sextus, where did he go? Has he ever been back here? ”

It was a long time before Apis asked this question.

"Aduneus, I must beg you to spare him in this matter. He was my husband, even though I didn't love him before. But in the past two years of getting along, Sextus has been very good to me...... I don't know what my feelings are for him now, but anyway, I don't want to see him die tragically, and I don't want to see you sword each other. And he, after the defeat, did not come back here, I didn't even know that he was defeated, and you came. ”

Octavia returns sadly. (To be continued.) )
