"Brutus, you must retreat, Octavian is already in alliance with Antony, you can't fight their coalition forces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore, I wanted Octavian to attack Rome when he was in charge, but now the situation is different......"

Cicero sent him a final letter in the middle of the siege of Brutus, urging him to leave Greece and abandon the landing in Rome. But Apis knew that with Brutus's character, he would not give up, as Lepida said, Brutus had already formed this army with loan sharks in order to return to Rome, and the army of tens of thousands of people needed to be spent every day, and if the war was not resolved quickly, Brutus would be in a different place.

……

"Damn it! Octavian, the damn bastard, had the audacity to unite with Antony. Now their army is even stronger than ours! ”

Brutus shouted angrily after receiving information from the front, combined with Cicero's letters, as impatient as a young child.

"I have already advised you, this war is not so simple, at the beginning, Cicero persuaded you to return home, it was a conspiracy! We haven't seen him for too long, it's unpredictable, and Lepida and Octavian have been in Rome for so long, you can't guarantee that there won't be ties and interests between them. I'm almost certain that Cicero told you to return home that Octavian and Lepida had set a trap for you! ”

When Kventus said this, he was much calmer. Perhaps having gone through too many storms, Kventus has become accustomed to such dramatic images. And now, Cventus also knew that what he had to solve was not to blame Brutus, but how to deal with the war in front of him, and the combined forces of Octavian, Antony, and Lepida also had more than 100,000 troops, and many of them were Caesar's old subordinates.

"No, no, Cicero didn't expect Octavian to form an alliance with Antony, what happened during this period, I'm afraid even Cicero himself doesn't know, with Antony's strength, Aletion's defeat is nothing at all, he still has Caesar's legions left in Gaul, they are all loyal to Antony. Octavian may have used some unconventional means, or perhaps sacrificed many of his own interests to rescue Antony. In short, I still believe that Cicero was not Octavian or Antony's man. ”

In the face of Cventus's suspicion and accusation of Cicero's behavior, Brutus still insisted on his own views and positions, perhaps from the heart, Brutus did believe Cicero, and perhaps, Brutus defended Cicero in this way, just to maintain his own empty face.

"Say whatever you want, now, it doesn't matter who Cicero is, the important thing is that we have exhausted all the funds and formed this huge army, in short, we have no way out, and the only way to get out of the current predicament is to defeat the combined forces of Octavian and Antony by force."

Kventus had no interest in Brutus' explanation, he just frowned, planning the harsh war that followed.

"Well, well, now I can't think of anything else, gather all the armies and prepare for a decisive battle with Antony and Octavian."

Brutus then recovered from his resentment and revealed his naïve optimism, driven by unattainable ideals and beliefs.

……

"Great chief, all the Romans have been killed, and those old people and children, will they also be killed?"

Just as Brutus was fighting with Antony and Octavian in Greece, in the northern forest, the sudden large-scale invasion of Germanic tribes caught many Roman towns off guard, Antony transferred most of the army, and there were very few soldiers left in these new Roman towns in Gaul, and the Germanic army swept through a large number of Roman towns in a short period of time, and the surviving Romans had to wait for the orders of the barbarian leaders who had always been regarded as beasts.

"Kill them all. It's Leonie's orders, just do what she wants."

Curio said, turning to leave, leaving a group of desperate and tearful Roman old men and children weeping bitterly on the muddy floor, and then a dozen or so Germanic rough men with large axes wildly swung their axes, killing the helpless Romans in the mud after the rain, their blood flowing, staining the black earth red......

"These Roman pigs should have been punished like this a long time ago, but are you really sure that Anthony will not come with a legion to intercept us? According to your plan, it is still too early to invade Rome, and many tribes have not yet won over to join us. ”

With the Roman children behind him and the cries of the old man echoing through the town square, Curio left the slaughteryard without looking back, and found Leonie looking at the horizon at the top of the city. The original girl has grown into a cold and mature woman, she is tough and resolute, and her slender figure still shows the unique blood of the Germans, but there are many strong muscles on the elegant body, which is the result of years of hard work. Facing Leonie, who was as calm as a piece of ice, Curio said thoughtfully.

"My people told me that three months ago, Antony had left the Roman border with his legions, and several of Rome's most combat-ready corps had left, because there was civil strife in Rome, and as for what kind of civil strife it was, I don't know for the time being, but it is certain that a huge legion came from the east, and the whole of Rome, was busy with the quelling of this unrest. So, there were no decent Roman legions in front of us, and we could take advantage of this time to loot as many Roman villages and towns as we could. I had planned to wait another two years before invading this barbaric and brutal country, but now, with civil strife in Rome, there is a rare opportunity that we cannot afford to miss. Otherwise, you may not be able to wait for ten years. ”

Leonie stood on the half-crippled walls and spoke calmly to Curio. After so many tribulations, Leonie has faded away from the childishness of the past, Curio recalls that when he first met her four years ago, Leonie was a thin, childish girl, who came with hatred for the Romans, and boasted that within three years, she would make the Romans bleed and avenge her parents, and, in those days, she had a Roman named her, called Emma. And now, many people, many things have long since become unrecognizable. The maturity of one's mind sometimes comes at the cost of being hurt. The world was meant to be so sad.
