In the barracks, after being cut by the barber, shaved his beard, and washed his face and body, Apis was led by the guards to Caesar's tent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Soldiers and officers alike all looked sideways at this amazing Roman, and when he was found on the road yesterday, he was still a "barbarian" with a disheveled hair and a mess, and after shaving his beard, cutting his hair, and changing into the civilian clothes of a Roman soldier, it was discovered that this was indeed a Roman, the image of a pure Roman knight. With a height of 1.75 meters, a sturdy physique and muscles, all reveal Appis's sassy and heroic posture, and the scars on his arms tell everyone that this is a tenacious warrior who has experienced the baptism of battle.

"Behold, our great hero is coming."

Apis was brought into the tent by Caesar's guards, there were not many people here, only a few commanders were there, and beside Caesar was Mark Antony, sitting in a chair with a blazing gaze on Rabbi Enus, and in addition, in the corner, not very conspicuous, but with a righteous face, it was Lepida. These famous figures in Roman history were gathered in this small military tent at this moment, and Apis suddenly felt a sense of flattery, and a hint of excitement to witness history.

Caesar spoke first, his tone was very high, it seemed that he was in a good mood, and there was no trace of irony, Appis, in the eyes of the commander of this great Roman legion, was indeed a hero, and even if he was not, Caesar intended to establish him as a hero. Legions needed heroes, soldiers needed heroes, and the people of Rome needed such a figure. This was Caesar's purpose.

"It looks a lot more handsome and cheerful than when I first found out."

Rabienus went on to say that, apparently, the old general was also fond of Appis.

But Anthony, who was standing beside Caesar, did not say a word. His gaze was sharp, but like a beast, not an eagle. He has the courage to kill the enemy, but he does not have the heart and vision of an eagle. It is said that character determines fate, and Appis suddenly sighed when he saw Anthony's appearance.

"Caesar."

Apis gave Caesar a standard military salute.

"Apis Gnaeus. Tell me how the Seventh and Eighth Legions annihilated those barbarians. And how did you escape that massacre? ”

Caesar motioned for Apis to sit down first, today, they had a lot to know, enough to write a war mini-novel, when Caesar sat down, Apis found that on the table of the Roman legion commander, there was a small volume of books, and behind him stood a scholar-like guard. Appis suddenly reacted, could this be the prototype of "Gallic Wars"? Historically, when Caesar was on his campaign against Gaul, he completed the Gallic Wars, a war book that has been passed down through the ages.

Everyone present suddenly fell silent, and everyone cast concerned glances at Appis. Everyone wants to know what has happened in the last two months.

"They poured in from all directions, boulders tumbling and falling down the hillside, spears and arrows raining down the Roman soldiers in the middle of the road. We were stuck on a narrow forest trail with slopes and high ground on both sides, unable to break through. When the first wave of long-range attacks was over, a large number of barbarians rushed down the slopes on either side of the trail. Densely packed, like a black sea of savages, we were crammed in the middle, with no room to move. Their axes and heavy swords slashed and formed a formation, and the Roman soldiers who did not form a formation, our warriors fell one by one, and they divided our legions......"

Apis sat in a chair and confronted several heavyweights in Roman history, talking eloquently. But no one made too many expressions of surprise, and it was clear how the Eblonnians ambushed the Roman legions, and the commanders of these legions were mentally prepared.

Apis noticed that the recorder behind Caesar was bowing his head and copying, and the Roman script on the scroll was densely packed with every word that Apis said. Apparently, Caesar was taking notes. This must have been the prototype of "The Gallic Wars", and Appis couldn't help but sigh that he had the opportunity to participate in the writing of this masterpiece himself. At least the records in it have a part of what they say.

"Sabinus and Cota, were they still alive when you last saw them?"

Caesar then asked, which was his primary concern.

"I didn't see General Kota during the whole battle, and the last time I saw him was General Sabinus, he was leading the legionary cavalry in a fight against the barbarians."

Appis responded, and at the same time hesitated, whether to tell Caesar about Sabinus's relationship with him. Telling Caesar about this, maybe Caesar could help him get Sabinus's inheritance, but on the day of the forest ambush, the battlefield situation was critical, and Sabinus didn't even have time to leave the will or certificate to himself, but only verbally told himself about their father-son relationship. Moreover, all the people present have been killed in battle, which means that there is no human and material evidence, even if Caesar wants to help him, I am afraid there is no reliable evidence.

"Well, then tell me how you managed to get out of that massacre, that's hell."

Caesar's mood is a little heavy, from the excitement of the opening scene to the current heaviness, Apis sometimes feels that Caesar's personality is also changeable, sometimes excited, sometimes depressed.

"Hell, horrible slaughter fields, indeed, Caesar, I was able to escape by sheer luck and with the help of my comrades. Titus, Quintus, Faobi, it was their bloody battles that made me lucky to escape. ”

Appis replied honestly with a heavy heart.

"You must have suffered a lot since you entered the forest? What's going on with that bearskin? ”

Rabienus then asked. Rabienus was older than Caesar, and his hair was gray, though he was perhaps not as old as he looked.

Rabbi Enus showed great interest in Appis.

"That bearskin, well, it was a giant bear, the forest bear, and we fought it in the depths of the forest, and it didn't fall until the blood ran dry. In fact, it wasn't me who defeated him, it was Faobi, and it was his experience of surviving in the jungle and fighting wild beasts that saved me. In fact, the reason why I have survived to this day is because of the sacrifices and risks of my comrades-in-arms. ”

Apis answered Rabienus's question honestly, and his mind returned to the scene that had happened in the forest not long ago...... The memories were terrible, especially the smell of blood and beasts.
