"When the whole world is crowded with people, the last remedy is war, which causes everyone to either win or die." - Hobbes's Leviathan

Then he saw that the chief of Edui was as dead as ashes, and muttered something to himself, but Lethgus said very solemnly: "Sooner or later, Dunorex will come to such an end, for he has relied on your power to take over the customs duties and wheat trade of the tribes at low prices, and has raised a large number of broken settlements and outcasts to serve as his personal cavalry, and he has also taken a Helvetian woman as his wife, and has given some of his sisters to the neighboring nations—dear Diviaci, wake up, if it had not been for the arrival of Lord Caesar and the war against the Helvetians, Our tribe has long since become a vassal of Helvetia at the instigation of your brother, and will you be able to keep the crown on your head? It would have been usurped by your brother a long time ago, otherwise what would your brother do so hostile and hateful to the Romans, is it really for the benefit of the clan, but for his personal power. ”

"But I still have to protect him, because he is my younger brother, and they were all born in this world with the blood of the same mother!" Annoyed and ashamed, Devi Archie drew his dagger and slashed it at the table.

"The Lovely Doi clan is not your family's!" Lesgus was also furious, and the whole scene suddenly became tense.

"Calm down, everyone, in fact, I have come at the request of the chief lieutenant, and now there is still a chance to make amends, and that is to go with us to the Santoni area. Take advantage of the order brother to do stupid things before. Confess everything to His Excellency the Governor. It is a treatment that will be forgiven. At this time, Li Bida stretched out his hand and was willing to act as a peacemaker.

Looking at Li Bida's sincere eyes, Diviacchi was skeptical, and he kept saying that his brother had committed such a great crime, and he really did not dare to expect Caesar's forgiveness, but Li Bida comforted: All the legions admire your justice and zeal, and thank you for your help to the expeditionary force. Besides, I heard that the guide who is now with Caesar, who is also a naturalized citizen of Gaul, has a lifelong friendship with you, and I will personally go to woo the Alobrogis tribe to intercede, and there will be no danger to you and your brother, and the letter from His Excellency the Governor only expresses his concern that Brother Ling's continued participation in the war, saying that his subordinates are not particularly peaceful, and that his military power has been removed.

Determined to give it a try, Devi shook his hand with Li Bida. Say that I will make good on my promise at once, and go to Santony with you and His Excellency the Adjutant General. Leave it to Lesgus to stay behind, and at once our tribe will bring a market day's rations, and I will send men to Bibrakd as soon as possible, so that they can provide food for your army with all their might.

In the starry night, the three brigades left behind by Caesar's camp marched out from the main gate, led by Rabinus, and Diviatchi was placed in the baggage team behind, rather than placed in the Roman infantry camp to be monitored, as a sign that the Romans still had no grudge against him. On the hill of fifty stadia from the main camp, Li Bida led the main force of the 12th Army Corps, the first brigade of 1,000 people took six brigades, and left three or four brigades with serious battle damage to stay in the camp to rest.

Everyone's goal, Santony, and Li Bida finally got this opportunity to let the Twelfth Legion go to the battlefield, but whether they can get sweetness on the battlefield and whether they can make a name for themselves have to be done and carefully.

In the midst of the rapidly moving pine light, Li Bida rode an owl on the inky Ara River, he looked up, under the lonely starry sky, more than a dozen cross high trees in front of the approach bridge, casting a slender and slender terrifying shadow on the bridge deck, the chief of the Gunirin in the front, the heroic and unyielding chieftain, the corpse is now completely left with fragments of skin and bones, Bai Sensen's, nailed in the back is his relatives and wife and children, this terrible scene, so that the owl also snorted in place in a little panic, Restlessly digging at the dirt under its hooves, and refusing to move forward, Li Bida patted its neck and whispered:

"Did you miss your old hostess? Afraid that she would be attacked by the enemy and end up in the same fate as the chieftain as she struggled alone in the far east? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is me, there is me, I will be in this bloody Gaul for a while, I will find a way to get out, go to the East or Egypt, I will protect everyone, and of course you and your mistress. Only then did the owl gradually calm down, carry the man, and catch up with the ranks of the army.

It was only after another five days that Rabinus and Lypita dismounted in Caesar's main camp, and they told Deviachi not to go to the governor for the time being.

A large joint camp that could accommodate four legions, even if they were chasing the Helvetians in front every day, Caesar would still order everyone to camp steadily at dusk.

"You are here, the speed of the Helvetites has been getting slower and slower these days, I suspect that they are running out of food, and our army is sheltering more and more women and children abandoned by the other side." Caesar's face was much thinner, "Say, Lybidaeus and Rabinus have deviated from my previous orders and come here in a hurry, presumably something very serious has happened." ”

The two exchanged glances, and Rabinus took the lead in reporting, "Something very serious has happened, Your Excellency the Governor, we need you to get rid of all the others, the centurion, the tribune, and the other lieutenant commander, this move is not because I and Libidaeus are arrogant, but now it is time for the whole army to be in danger!" ”

Caesar invited all the rest of his generals to leave, and then Rabinus asked, "How many days can our legion survive now?" I'm talking about military ration reserves. ”

Caesar, who was sitting on the circle chair, pursed his lips, his bald forehead lines twisted together, the fingers of his hands quickly pointed at each other back and forth, and he raised three fingers with some difficulty, which means that there are only three days of military ration left, "But don't worry, soon I will take three legions and gallop northwest to the city of Bibrakd to get supplies, and Appis's eleventh legion is camped farther away, about twenty romans, and once there is enough food, the whole army will fight a decisive battle against the Helvetians, We have the advantage of pinching them. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, you will be crushed or annihilated by the Helvetians on your march to Bibrakd!" Rabinus said unceremoniously.

The atmosphere quieted down, and then Caesar raised his hand very politely and asked the most trusted acting commander-in-chief, you and Li Bida rushed here in the starry night, it should be to talk about this, although it is okay.

"Your Excellency the Doge, there is a great problem with the auxiliary cavalry of the Aedui. Their commander is Dunolex, the younger brother of the chief of Aeduy, Deviachi, and I advise you to keep an eye on this group at once. At this time, Li Bida, who had not spoken, said, "If it is information sent back by the other side, we must not be gullible enough, because Dunorex is a pro-Helvitian traitor, and he will lead us to a place of death from which we will never recover."
