Then, Li Bida summoned Sabo again, "You take the advance army, return to the area of Fort Libida, and hand over the diplomatic and garrison affairs of Thrace and Dacia to you to take care of, if there is any emergency, you can also contact Queen Eubertnia, in fact, a war zone is entrusted to you, and you have the strength to command two legions." How about it, are you still willing to continue to fight for our side? Because of the presence of Peternius, Lybida reduced the "four legions" originally planned to be said to "two legions", and now that he has six legions, he is not prepared to assign each legion to a lieutenant or a treasurer, as Caesar did in the past, nor is he prepared to be under the unified command of an archon or a governor as in the previous Roman era, he is ready to divide the six legions into two fronts to start the war against Dacia, so that it is cheaper in terms of dispatch and marching. The question of the selection of the two commanders is also obvious.

"Yes, I am willing to dedicate my passion and intellect if you need it." Sabo took over Li Pida's order without delay.

After the arrangement was made, the heralds and clerks of the Senate took the order papers, and then saluted and retreated, and then Li Bida's generals and staff also left, Li Bida sat on the circle chair with his head tilted up, and the shadow of the colonnade and flowers fell obliquely on his body, and Potty came from behind the curtains, and gently massaged his somewhat stiff forehead and shoulders with his fingers. "Am I starting to lose energy?" Li Bida let out a long sigh. "Octavian and Leo should also return. Their marriage can be prepared. ”

"Why do I think the city of Rome is still not peaceful enough? When the two of us first arrived, do you remember the huge fire? It was just down the block from the apartment behind the Valkyrie we rented, and it really scared me, and years later I still wake up in those nightmares from time to time, wondering if the city would be in such turmoil if you went on an expedition. Poti said with some concern.

"Are you afraid that my daughter won't be able to get married?" Li Bida smiled and said, "Sometimes, marry Corinna off. In fact, it is not a kind of protection for her, just as it is the same thing that Bassatus constantly wants to marry his daughter Vivia to Leo, in this world, it is a constant transformation between companion and enemy, constantly - Corinna, I can see every day how beautiful she can stand in the courtyard and greet my father, what a joy it is for me and for her, but I still have a daughter. No one worries about her marriage? Niko"

At this time, the gray air surged. Some hot dust fell, and then the rain fell, "What is this?" Li Bida asked curiously, because in the dim light, he saw a new little bronze statue in the alcove, which he had never encountered before.

"This is what Kelly felt when he was sorting out the relics of the old master, and he first sent it to Marcos, but your adoptive father was a little frightened when he saw this bronze statue, so he turned here, after all, it is not easy to discard." Poti explained.

Then, in the sound of the wind and rain outside, Li Bida stepped forward, paying attention to playing with this small bronze statue, it seems to be the product of the art category of this era, perhaps brought back by Lucuras during the triumph of Little Asia, a very mysterious thing, this sculpture is a monster with a human head and a cow body, the carving is not very fine but very expressive, the human head is lowered, struggling to lean forward, as if trying to fly out, it seems that it is very disgusted with its beast-like body, But the hooves of the cow's body were deeply sunk in the dirt, in vain, and the whole human head and the cow's body appeared to be strongly separated, and under the black coloring, it was even more strange.

"Is it a sculpture of an evil spirit?" Potty asked, uneasily by the man's arm.

"No, it's a symbol for everybody, and I understand why the Lord of the Patrons chose it to put it in the room, and why everyone is terrified when they see this statue. All our lives, we wander between people and beasts, and sometimes we can't figure out whether we think we are better off as individuals or more suitable as beasts. Li Bida said slowly, of course, he didn't expect Potty to understand these things as a woman, and then just told her that Corinna and Leo's marriage had to be handled properly.

As a result, the next day, an urgent summons came from the Senate, asking Li Pida to urgently go to Juilliard Hall, where there was a very urgent matter to discuss.

"The most urgent news came from the border, that the barbarians of Dacia had not only invaded the Thracian territory, but that they had also joined up with other Illyrian barbarians to harass the colonial fortress cities in the northwestern part of the border. Therefore, I ask you to rush to the city of Ravenna as the governor of the province immediately, and take command of the dispatch and battle ahead. We are willing to entrust you with the post of Illyrian envoy again. At this time, the chairmen on duty were Banks and Barsatus, who stood under the central patio, and made this request to Lybida, who was seated, and then they announced, "The proposal concerning the former cavalry commander Liberdaus has been fully communicated, and engraved into a bronze watch, and placed in the temple of Jupiter, and no one shall disobey it." ”

The meaning of this sentence is to tell Li Bida to go to Ravenna with peace of mind.

"Now that the borders of the country have been invaded, it is my duty as the governor of Macedonia, but since the whole city is now surrounded by legions, in order to maintain order in the city of Rome, I need Antony, the two acting consuls, and all the lawyers, all of whom will exchange oaths with me, and restrain the behavior of all men and armies, and shall not infringe upon each other, nor endanger the country and the people." Li Bida said quietly.

Banks nodded, indicating that he could do exactly as he was told.

At the altar in the center of the synagogue, when Li Bida and Anthony stood together, the two men faced each other, "After I go on the expedition, can my wife and daughter stand with your wife and daughter and shelter each other?" Because they will both be hostages in the hands of the Senate after we both go on the expedition. ”

"Yes, I will do my best to ask Fulivia's armed slaves to protect your family's integrity, but correspondingly, your men and horses will also protect Fulivia's integrity, this is my oath." Anthony replied.

"Well, it's our oath that I don't want to be your official enemy under any circumstances, Marco. Actually, I wanted to stay in the city and have my children's weddings. Li Bida was emotional.

Anthony was slightly surprised, then nodded heavily. (To be continued!)
