"So many rivers and mountains, and deserts, and heavy armor, and elephants that destroy people." -- When Timur was about to go on an expedition to Hindustan, the complaints of his subordinates.

However, the centurion was not very interested, and listened to Brutus's speech, and he kept a polite manner, and after Brutus had finished speaking, he finished the urn and withdrew.

The same is true of Lypida's army, he has no patience to entangle the Republican army too much, the key islands of Rhodes and Lespos have fallen into his hands, and now that the big picture has been decided, what he needs is speed and merit, like a farmer standing in front of a field with heavy ears of wheat, all he needs to do is wave his sickle.

He divided Lufio's three legions into Crete, Rhodes, and Cyprus on the other side, and the chain was quickly occupied by Lufio, with little resistance. Rufio was also very quick to control these affairs, because the high priest promised that he would be the trilegate of all the cantons of Crete as soon as the war was over.

At this time, together with the occupation of Saab in the north, from Fort Lybida to Reispos, a vertical chain was formed, which happened to separate Greece from Asia Minor, and sealed Athens, where Brutus was located. At this time, the allied city-states of the Peloponnese also sent envoys to meet Lybida, willing to provide 600 heavily armored soldiers and 1,000 light infantry and cavalry to welcome the high priest's legions ashore and attack Aetolia and Corinth, and these city-states also flattered Lybida that they had always supported the monarchy. I hope that in the future, I will be able to support the rule of the high priest even more.

But. Li Bida's reply was. It was enough for them to hold on to their territory, and to express their heartfelt thanks for their support, and then the high priest took the three main legions, which had been rested, and sailed for Asia Minor in a fleet.

Xiaoya's situation, with Li Bida's landing, is also the same scene: they have defected and offered allegiance. It is full of momentum, including Ephesus, the former base of Urabela.

The penalty for the huge city was to hand over a fine of three million cestrickens, as well as twenty thousand bushels of grain, and the city representatives generously agreed to this condition.

Then, in front of the boundless ploughing fields facing Lydia, Lydia straddled his mount and personally handed into the hands of Curia the banner that would lead the cavalry charge, and he took three legions of about 4,000 cavalry. It's all in the hands of the other party, "Eurabella is following the old path of Scipio and Apis." Fleeing towards the peaks of Amasinus, his goal was Silesia, but it had long been sealed off by the legions of my ally, King Theotarus of Garacia. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, High Priest, for giving me this opportunity to build up my military merits." Curia heard Li Bida's intention to give him this task, and after hearing this bold statement, Li Bida nodded, "I will call the infantry brigade of the Twelfth Legion to follow you quickly as a backup, but be careful, you must not make a joke about the cavalry running behind the infantry of the Mountain Falcon Legion." ”

Hearing this, all the generals laughed, and then the herald came to the high priest's horse with a hurry, "From the inn of Nicomediaa!" ”

"Oh, didn't Calabia go straight to Nicomediaa instead of in Taktun?"

The High Priest muttered this and pulled the tablet from its sealed silk sleeve, on which Adiana read, "Come to the palace of Nicomedia, as far as I want, for I want to meet you, and the envoys of the Cyris Empire have also come here - he had returned with your messenger Theotharus, but he felt that it was not safe enough to stay in Egypt, so he came to me." ”

"Good!" After putting the board away, he asked Galius to ask the Seventh Legion to take on the task of escorting, and he was going to the palace of Nicomedia to do something very important.

The Chief Brigade of the Seventh Army gladly accepted the task, and then Li Bida handed over the task of command to the adjutant General Kalenus, and he and the guards turned to the north, aiming at Nicomidea.

The palace of Nicomedia has been greatly expanded by the mountains near the sea, and although it is difficult for Lybida to keep his promise of two months of rest for a year, Adiana still pours a lot of effort and money here, and she entrusts Philo as the chief designer and engineer, pays him a salary of 300,000 cestrickens a year, and spends a tenth of the entire tax money of Eubertia here, and she will always spend the second half of her life with Lybida here, which is beyond doubt.

In front of the golden bay, on the towering terrace of the white palace, Adiana's chestnut hair fluttered gently in the wind, it was the best April of the year, she was extremely happy that Li Bida could agree to come, and Euygit stood beside his mother's chair, constantly listening to how his mother described his biological father, and showed great interest, at this time, the court teacher next to Eujit, Adiana spent a lot of money to hire from Athens, and also continued to correct Eujit's pronunciation in the conversation, It is hoped that he will be able to master his Greek language between the ages of ten and thirteen, so that he will be able to write beautiful poems.

At last the trumpet sounded, and the queen, dressed in a green gown, rose with joy like a maiden, and put her hand on the railing of the terrace, and she was glad to see that her man was riding a horse, and waving to herself with his head raised under the way of the guards and flags.

But then in the court, Lybida's appearance made Adiana unhappy, for the first thing he said after his reunion with her was to anxiously ask where the envoys of Theotarus and Seris were.

"Rest first, and see if this is your son, Eujit." Adiana held back and continued to smile at the man, while sending this beautiful-looking child to Li Bida.

Yes, Euigit's countenance, but even more handsome than Leo, who was generally a pleasing looker, and Euajit was more like a sculpture, who had almost all the genetic advantages of his father and mother, and stood straight in front of Lybida's eyes.

The high priest looked at his youngest son a few times, he was wearing a Persian-style robe embroidered with gold, a short sword studded with precious stones and pearls, the neck was a delicate jewelry, and the essential oil in his hair exuded a pungent fragrance, which made Li Bida's eyebrows furrowed, he felt unhappy, but the child was innocent, so he affectionately stroked Yuajit's head, and asked softly what the other party was doing, he had never seen his father since he was a child, and had he ever complained about himself?

"No, I often meet my father in my dreams? My father's appearance was exactly the same as what I had seen in my dreams, he was so tall and heroic. The sharp teeth of Yu Aijit's opening made Li Bida feel extremely complicated. (To be continued......) R1292
