Trureas' rule was that a sentry should travel fifteen Roman miles, so that before dawn everyone could reach the city of Lilipa.

Everyone was silent, only the red-striped arms that were constantly shaking to verify their identity, and some of the junior soldiers, with worry and excitement on their faces—the walls of Lilip, still from the Carthaginian era, and then after the Punic Wars, it became more of a bridgehead and a transit point for the Romans, and the walls, towers, and gates were in disrepair, so from the conspirator's point of view, it was vulnerable.

This is also what the two centurions of Siphax and Pythias thought in their hearts, under the light of the fire, their eyebrows, eyes and noses, constantly changing angles with the light of the shadows, are that resolute and fearless expression: as long as the double thief - the state, and the Julius family - Lypidaus, the whole situation and situation will be turned from danger to safety, anyway, the soldiers want a reward, what we need is a turnaround.

Gradually, Lili, a beacon burning on the seashore, also pointed the direction and goal for the rebels of the Twin Legion.

At last, on the back of a hill ten Roman miles outside the city, the soldiers of the seven brigades of the Twin Legion began to assemble their ranks, erected the signs of each team, and began to take up their swords and spears, while the cavalry was at the forefront, forming a rectangular procession, guarding Tellureas and several centurions in the middle.

"My plan is to attack from the walls over there, because I am familiar with the defenses over there—you see, the towers and the walls are broken. The trenches are also like a fictitious place, and the terrain is flat. Under the fluttering flag, Tellureas pointed to the scene with great excitement. The concealment work of their own soldiers was very good, and the city of Lili, in the sound of the waves, was unaware.

"Take it, I will take the three brigades selected by Jane, and immediately advance to this direction and carry out the climbing siege." Parteias replied unequivocally.

The infantry centurions behind the twin legions, one by one, gestured to the soldiers to stand up. As he prepares to march, the sound of a slight whistle and reprimand is incessant.

At the same time, in the council chamber of the city. Leo had arrived early, fully dressed, and sat on the bed for a moment, thinking for a moment. Then he lit the oil lamps next to him. He took King Numa's ring from the temple model box in the candlelight, stared at the inscription on it, and after reading it several times, he knelt down before the family altar and prayed for his father, mother, and the whole family.

Then he walked through the dormitory, and sat down at the dining table, where he had a regular breakfast: a handful of plums soaked in olive oil, a plate of wheat rice. There are also staples of vegetables, fish and meat, and a small glass of wine and water at the end. After eating this qiē slowly. Leo saw on the table opposite, the fish bone ornament he had purchased in the same room as Turinus and Agrippa in the Apollonian Academy, which he had always treasured.

"In the future, it can only be treasured, right?"

Leo muttered to himself, and from the cloister came two hastily looking heralds, "An army has appeared outside the city, with the flag of the Twin Legion, and it has approached four Roman miles outside the city. ”

"Why did the Twin Legions appear under Lili, and didn't His Excellency the High Priest issue an order for it to maneuver to reinforce the Greek battlefield?" Leo quickly lowered his glass and said uneasily.

"Deputy envoy, with all due respect, this is a mutiny." So said the herald.

Leo stood up slowly in surprise, and then he said, "According to my father's setup, I am in charge of the defense of Lili, not Lord Marchlus, so Boobis you should do your best to inform Your Excellency and tell him to take refuge in the Acropolis, and Theseus you organize the Municipal Secretary and the Council of Elders, and transport all the documents and treasury money to the Acropolis warehouse." Then Leo walked briskly out of the dining room, "Lord Fabius, Lord Fabius!" ”

"The knight of Fabius has gone to the fortress to command all the Hitius party, and plan to defend it." The squire named Theseus replied quickly, and then about thirty of Lusitania's chainmail swordsmen ran in to protect Leo.

At this time, three miles outside the city of Lilipoli, the cavalry column of Tellureas had arrived, and anyone could see the city of Lilias with the naked eye in the morning sun, and the only thing that stood in front of their horses' hooves was a river of reeds and a flat slope.

"Bitheas, you rush in with three brigades, as long as you break through the city wall in front of you, you can directly attack the center of the city." Tellureas ordered loudly, "Siphax and I are in the cavalry ranks, and we need to have a brigade to serve as a reserve force in the rear. ”

The flame flag, which signaled the attack, was raised, and the three rebels of Baltias, with their shields on their backs, charged with a menacing cry, and they trotted at first, and when they were within striking distance of the tower, they folded their shields, and braved the arrows fired by the Hitius on them, and bravely climbed along the crumbling wall.

"Now is the time to call the soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks into the assault." Seeing that the battle was going well, Tellureas shouted excitedly, and then he called Hu Cong and the herald to raise the flag again, and as a result, three more brigades of soldiers swarmed up, "Sifax, we will join the war group immediately and attack along the open gate, our goal will be achieved, capture the important place of Lili, and capture the son of Li Bida." At this moment, all the cavalry roared in unison, and then Tellureas stretched out his weight and pointed it at Sifax, "Immediately you will take this team and enjoy the glory of entering the city." ”

Siphax was also very excited, and reached out to take the bid.

Suddenly, the groom next to Tellureas drew his sword, and with a single sword, he slashed Siphax's arm, and the heavy weight mark fell to the ground, and the rest of the armed men rushed up, and the blade stabbed Siphax several times at the non-vital parts of his body, and then pulled him down from the defense, and the rest of the centurions who were accomplices were stabbed in the back or neck by the people around him before they could react.

"Bastard Trureas, you broke your oath, you rat." Siphax struggled and screamed as he was held down by several horsemen and tied up with ropes.

"There is only success or failure in this world, where is the oath?" "You should feel lucky, because you still have the value to live, but those companions of yours are about to die miserably." (To be continued......)
