As the festival of the sea god approached, most of the Roman nobles and some wealthy stewards were desperately looking for the shipowner, and their owners ordered them to hire the largest and strongest ships possible, no matter how much money they spent, and some of the stewards were even ordered to simply buy the ship if the owner was not willing to rent it.

Naval battles were now a place for prestigious Roman aristocratic families, or families, to compete in secret, and none of them wanted to be overpowered by other nobles, and those who were not nobles wanted their ships to show off their wealth.

The Romans, who were preparing to participate in the naval battle show, hurriedly sent their butlers out of the way, and then gathered together according to class, in addition to testing the preparation of the other party's warship, they began to discuss how to let their class race car win the car race conference of the Poseidon Festival, which is a major matter related to the face of their own class, and they must not be careless.

Rome's youth, on the other hand, are gearing up to take part in the sports they excel in: running, boxing, thrilling "Trojan" war games, hoping to familiarize the Roman public with them so that they can be supported by more people when they run for office.

The women were discussing the possible repertoire at the festival, and the famous actors became the focus of their discussions, comparing the characteristics of the acting skills of these idols, and from time to time they would have differences of opinion due to the different actors they supported. At this time, the goddess of discord would creep into the midst of these women, bringing with them a quarrel and a period of mutual hostility for the rest of the group—a group that the goddess always loved to visit.

There are also others who have a special idea. Betting on car races, gladiatorial fights, and boxing matches is essential, and gambling bookmakers certainly don't miss this opportunity to make a fortune. This time, they stretched out their tentacles to the naval battle show. Although it has not yet been determined which boats will participate, the bookmakers have already begun to send people to search for information at the docks.

In the taverns, in the civilian quarters, in the various squares where the Romans liked to hang out, the analysis of the possible teams of the various competitions was bustling. In order to make the right bet, the people of Rome carefully inquired about all kinds of gossip......

And at this time, Wang Weiyi, the giant Prius in the eyes of many people, was not idle.

He took out a sum of money and gave it to Pompey to support him to complete the Poseidon Festival and gain higher prestige to deal with Caesar's threat.

After receiving the money from Sprius as he wished, Pompey increased his trust in Wang Weiyi, and he began to be convinced. Explius will be the new Crassus, his strongest ally, the most advantageous weapon he can use against Caesar.

And he'll probably never think about it. Any penny of Wang Weiyi will not be spent in vain. He needs his own investors to bring him a tenfold, if not a hundredfold return......

While helping Pompey's colleagues, Wang Weiyi did not forget his other "ally" - Sevious.

Xiao Ling is able to create the most powerful force of this era. The fastest and strongest ships of the era were also made. Once Sevio had a ship made by the little spirit, his hopes of victory would be greatly increased, and at the same time, the contradictions between him and Pompey would be further increased.

Between Caesar, Pompey, and Sevious, a very complex antagonism will be formed, and all of this will be provoked by one person:

Ernst. Brahm!

He will be silently manipulating everything behind the scenes......

．．．．．．

The Tiber River, which has flowed for an unknown number of years, has a flat field in her arms. Through Severa? The triumphal arch under the walls of Tullia connects with the streets of Rome, and this field is the sacred place of Roman warriors, Mars Square, the god of war.

Only heroes who have performed great feats for Rome are eligible to be buried in this square!

Around the Champ de Mars. More than 100,000 Romans are gathering here.

The Twelve Priests of the Expedition - The priests who served the Mars God of War were the first to appear. They were all dressed in embroidered robes, with a broad bronze sash worn around their waists, a short sword hanging on the left side of the belt, and a magnificent purple striped robe, holding a shield in their left hand and an iron scepter in their right; From time to time they raised their staffs and struck the sacred shields carried by the priestly servants on long poles.

Behind them, several Roman legions marched in procession - they were extremely formidable, showing neat order and strict discipline. This sight, in the eyes of the countless civilians who crowded around the square, was very happy. These collectives, which contained great strength, gave them great confidence, and made them even more proud of the invincible military power of Rome, and did not take the Danube war to heart.

At the head of the list was Rome's most famous legion, the Romans' favorite unit, the famous "Knights' Legion" - the 10th Legion of the Roman Republic.

As long as the Tenth Legion was there, not a single Roman legion would dare to go ahead of them!

The Eagle Men of the Tenth Legion proudly marched in front of the entire parade with a spear in his hand. The lower part of the spearhead was cast in the shape of a peach, and the military flag hanging from the spear was painted with a "golden bull", which was the eagle banner of the 10th Legion! It is a symbol of invincibility! A nightmare for any warrior who dares to face the Tenth Legion!

Immediately following this invincible banner, the veterans of the Tenth Legion lined up in a neat line, deliberately wearing helmets decorated with long red horsehair, frowning impatiently, their eyes shining coldly, and their faces expressionless; Occasionally, when their eyes make contact with a small child, they will deliberately put on a fierce appearance, until the child is so frightened that he hides behind an adult or cries, and they withdraw the fierce glint in their eyes with a smile.

The centurions walked in front of the ranks of their battalions, holding rattan canes in their right hands, and wearing delicate chain mail, the shape of the armor was different from that of ordinary warriors, and it presented a rounded arc in the abdomen, as if it were a pair of breastplates tightly "pressed" on the abdominal muscles, and the shoulder armor was thickened; Their swords were arranged on the left side of the bronze belt, as opposed to those of the legionnaires.

These centurions held their heads high and took firm steps. Standing on the helmet, the white feather and the unsquinting face look like a group of moving marble statues walking towards the square.

The centurion is flanked by signalmen with signal poles, who also act as the centurion's deputies. Responsible for training and managing finances; Then came the centurion's personal bodyguard, the servant who led the centurion's mount.

One of the warriors of the Legion stood out in particular, walking in the middle of the Legion, proudly holding a wooden sign with the Legion's slogan - "Caesar made us knights!" ”

This slogan is also the origin of the title of "Knight's Legion". When Caesar decided to fight the Germans under the command of Ariovistus in Gaul, his legions were terrified of the Germanic prowess and were reluctant to advance. At this time, Caesar convened a general meeting of all the soldiers. He openly declared: "Even if no one else will go with me, only the Tenth Legion will follow, I will continue to advance." No doubt. The Tenth Legion will be able to do so, and they can be my guards. I love this legion the most, and I trust it the most, because they are brave. ”

After the Tenth Legion was praised by Caesar. It was inspired with great pride. First of all, they thanked Caesar through their legion commanders and assured him that they were ready for battle. This boosted the morale of the whole army, and finally defeated the Germans of Gaul in one fell swoop.

When Ariovistus learned of Caesar's arrival, he sent an envoy to hold a meeting with Caesar. Ariovistus asked Caesar not to bring infantry to the meeting, but to bring only cavalry. Caesar did not dare to risk entrusting his safety to the Gallic cavalry, so he decided on the best option: he drew out all the horses of the Gallic cavalry and let the soldiers of the Tenth Legion ride on them, so that in case of an accident. He can have a guard with the closest cronies. When this was being arranged, the soldiers of the 10th Regiment joked. Caesar had now done far more than he had promised, he had only promised the Tenth Legion to serve as a guard, but now he had made them "knights".

From then on, the Tenth Legion was called the "Legion of Knights" by the Romans.

As this arrogant and glorious unit passed in front of the reviewing stand erected in the square, the whole regiment suddenly let out a loud shout in unison: "Falsalus! Caesar! Then they looked provocatively at the stage.

Pompey stared at the team from the stage without blinking.

As the Tenth Legion walked past the stage, the consul with infinite power felt a hint of pressure in his heart - Rome's ace army was notoriously unruly as well as brave and good at fighting.

He used the influence of the Senate to transfer the Roman legion from Gaul to Rome in order to reduce Caesar's strength, but it now seems that the Tenth Legion still retains its infinite loyalty to Caesar......

In countless battles, the 10th Army decided the battle at the most critical moment of the battle. However, the honor of never suffering defeat also made the soldiers arrogant, and even turned into a mutiny.

This arrogant roar was probably the Tenth Legion's attempt to show its loyalty to Caesar in front of all the Romans.

Yakurius stayed with his adoptive father, and he saw how Pompey coped with the situation.

Pompey did not wear his famous nine-layered helmet, and his hair was already bare in the air, but he still wore the fine armor so familiar to the Romans, and in the center of the cuirass was painted the armor of the scene of his recapture of the Roman flag from the enemy, which was polished today and glowed like a jewel.

He held the scepter in his left hand, raised his right hand in the manner customary of the Roman senators, and his body was in a careless, domineering "rest" posture, his left foot leaning forward slightly, his weight resting on his right leg slightly behind, and the silhouette of his face showed a cold and proud force.

His grim countenance, which made the Roman soldiers instantly recognizable as his commander-in-chief, shouted loudly to the audience without showing weakness: "I have fought, and you can scare me like a child!" ”

The soldiers of the 10th Legion laughed, saluted to the stage contentedly, and then marched into the ranks and sang a song in the army that mocked the commander's embarrassment: "Once there was no rations, Caesar gave us grass roots, and Pompey stunned the ship in the Nemesis......

The hostility in such ditties disappears, and is replaced by a kind of banter that expresses affection for one's commander.

Yakurius was surprised to discover the third face of his adoptive father: a divine and kind father and relative to the commoners; To the nobles and officials, he was a dignified and dignified lord; To these GIs, he was just right to show a rough and domineering appearance. Just to suit the appetite of the GIs.

Yakulius wondered how his adoptive father could switch between three different roles so easily. Pompey pulled him forward with a natural movement, and Yakurius realized that the Roman nobles on the stage had deliberately retreated to the back, forming a state where only the two of them stood in front to review the troops.

Pompey shouted again to the ranks of the Tenth Legion: "Soldiers. Who is this young man standing next to Commander Pompey? ”

Yakurius frowned quietly, and he noticed that his adoptive father did not use the word "comrade-in-arms".

The 10th Army replied like a tsunami: "The grandson of the victor of the eleventh battle!" Yakurius, as brave as his father! The future commander of the Roman army! ”

From beginning to end, Pompey never showed a slight smile that he usually always wears, and he still has this face at the moment.

"Do you believe the eyes of a veteran?"

Without waiting for the soldiers to answer, he continued: "It's not me who brags, this young man is better at commanding battles than me!" Then. Pompey smiled for the first time today: "Moreover, he has a good heart and is not as picky as me!" ”

There was a burst of laughter from the ranks of the Tenth Legion. Immediately, these arrogant military arrogances suddenly stopped their steps at the same time, and without hearing a single collision, the six thousand right arms were as neat as a man's arm. Stick out together.

"The Tenth Legion is waiting for the next invincible commander to lead them!"

Pompey pursed his lips contemptuously: "You guys are underestimating this young man's ability!" I am not satisfied with this answer! ”

The phalanx of the Tenth Legion was silent for a moment. Then, as if they had comprehended something, all the soldiers, led by the centurions, shouted in unison: "Pompey, Imperato!" We look forward to you, Yakulius! ”

Pompey put away the smile he had just put away, and accepted everything without moving.

Unlike his adoptive father's satisfaction, the battle-hardened legion cheered at a young man who had never been on the battlefield. It made Yakurius's self-esteem feel ashamed, and he wanted to retreat into the crowd behind.

However, the example of the adoptive father and the pride that comes with it in the blood. He couldn't help but maintain the same posture as Pompey, and watched coldly as the veterans of the Tenth Legion passed by at his feet.

The Eleventh Legion - the "Vretensis" corps came.

They sang loudly songs about the Battle of Krekton, shouted "Pompey" and "Agripba" and, of course, the name "Yakurius" proudly walked in front of the crowd.

Then came the two legions that did not receive honorary titles: the Twelfth and Fourteenth Legions of the Roman Republic, and the legionnaires, who had not received a title to boast of, saluted and walked silently with a little shame on the reviewing stand.

The last to appear was the oldest legion of Rome, the First Legion of the Roman Republic.

The First Legion has now been named "First Pompey's Legion" after Augustus, and is Pompey's most intimate legion.

With a look of arrogance, they paid tribute to Pompey and Yakurius from the bottom of their hearts to show their allegiance.

After the parade of 36,000 Roman soldiers of the six Roman legions passed through the Champ de Mars, Pompey signaled for silence in the arena: "Citizens of Rome, envoys of the Gentiles! He glanced at the envoys of the various countries who were staring at him intently, "As you all know, there is a war going on in the Danube land under the rule of the great Romans, and these legions will go straight to the battlefield from here after the review. Tell me: Who can stop them? ”

The fanatically excited hundreds of thousands of Roman citizens replied loudly to the leader of their nation: "No! ”

Pompey smiled and said, "In this case, let's forget about that insignificant battle for the time being, the celebration of Poseidon's Day is about to begin, let's devote our energy to joy." ”

Crowds poured into the road back to the city, and the Poseidon Festival began......

．．．．．．

Wang Weiyi witnessed the parade with his own eyes, and he is now beginning to truly understand the power of Rome.

Such a large legion, so many soldiers loyal to Rome. From the current point of view, it is definitely not something that the Germanic people can compete with.

Even Caesar, who suffered defeat in Germania, still had a strong legion in Rome that was not used. At the time of that Armageddon, it is difficult to say whether Germania would have been able to win if his Tenth Army had been transferred to the battlefield.

For a long time, it would take a long time for Germain to really compete with Rome. And his mission is to make this period of time greatly reduced.

He saw the same thought in Richthofen's eyes, and the two of them looked at each other before Richthofen said slowly: "We still have a long way to go. ”

Wang Weiyi nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "But this is exactly what we have to do, as long as that day really comes, we can feel the greatest pride." ”

The powerful Rome and the mighty military parade did not make Wang Weiyi feel the slightest fear, but inspired him to have a stronger fighting spirit.

However, at this time, from Pompey's series of performances in the past few days, he has become wary of him. To be able to achieve such a team position, Pompey was not lucky at all. No matter what kind of person he treats, he can always have a very special way to deal with it.

Once there is any paralysis, maybe all the previous efforts will be in vain, and even more terrible consequences will be caused! (To be continued......)
