Chapter 17: Placement (Part II)
"There is nothing to hear - the announcement of victories and triumphs, the announcement of the cities where veterans are housed, the announcement of rewards for meritorious persons of the regiment." Anthony shrugged his shoulders and said, "In any case, you have miscalculated this time, because soon the bastard of Cassiyo will continue to encircle the opportunity of Pompey's remnants to privately expand his army, and if I am not mistaken, the number of the first, second, third, and fourth legions will belong to him." ”
"It's okay, I told you last night, the big and inappropriate mask has no purpose other than to exorcise ghosts." Li Bida was very carefree, and at this time, several young women wearing gorgeous shawls on the other side of the temple saw these two and gathered around, "Today is a great day, although the Mother Earth Goddess asks us not to pick and choose in terms of receiving guests, but you have to consider that we are all noble ladies who own manors in our names, so it is still out of selfishness, and we are willing to find a handsome person like you." ”
"Oh, of course." Anthony was immediately ready to pull one of them away with Feng Yun.
The other petite leaned on Li Bida's shoulder, and said teasingly, "How charming are your pure black hair, pupils, and beard, you are not a Latin Tim, if you will choose me, I can use four languages on the bed to be debauched, what do you want to hear to lift the majesty?" Rude, or more elegant? “
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Li Bida chuckled and pushed her away, and then he put his hand on Antony's shoulder, and warned that you will soon go back to Rome, you are going to marry Fulivia, and you will soon be a family figure, and you must clean yourself up. Otherwise, the political evaluation of you will be quite unfavorable. "Marconi had suffered in this regard. Enough is enough, listen to me, obediently stay by your woman's side. ”
The few noble ladies who voluntarily sold themselves were immediately displeased, especially after they saw Anthony hesitate to shirk, the petite raised his hand to Li Bida and shouted, "Okay, I still mixed in with you two people here, I didn't expect a tall and mighty one." A clear-eyed one, but he came to the temple of Atasya and sold it himself! Then the ladies gathered around, wrapped themselves in shawls, and began to shout like unhappy housewives in the market.
Li Bida snapped his fingers a few times, and the black guard captain Alp and centurion Haybrida and Polo all walked over, and one of them took the smooth pink arm of a noble lady and walked towards the incinerator by the temple, which was full of cavernous floors. It is for the delightful guests, "Now this group of people should be able to satisfy the Mother Goddess and you." My ladies. Li Bida waved goodbye to the women who were swept away.
"What are you doing this for?" Over there, Brutus came down the colonnaded aisle of the market and asked.
"I don't have any friends, because I created these legions, and I can naturally dismiss them if I don't have the ambition to do so." "As for the war against Dacia, I am going to recommend my friend Anthony to take office, and you Brutus, I hope we are still friends." After speaking, Li Bida generously stretched out his hand, Brutus looked at his hand, looked up at the bustling crowd around him, and finally shook his head and shook hands with Li Bida, "I hope we can still preserve our friendship in the future." ”
At this moment, from the side of the temple, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion were the first to run, and they shouted excitedly, and ran towards the camp, because Caesar had just given a special commendation to this legion for its bravery in the Battle of Tapsus, and was willing to reward each of them with two hundred dinars for the qualification to participate in the Grand Triumph, and gave the "Lark Legion" the emblem of "Elephant", allowing them to use it on their flags and shields.
Then the rest of the auxiliary corps walked towards the school yard of Utica City, and at this time, Li Bida said goodbye to Brutus that he was about to announce the order of dismissal on the school ground, and then Shi Shiran left.
Brutus was left behind, bewildered, while Antony was aggressive towards him, provocatively saying, "He doesn't care about utilitarianism anymore, and in the Roman political tradition, if you and Cassiio want to harm him again, you must ask about my sword first!" Before Brutus could reply, a noblewoman came and took Antony's arm and asked, "How sharp and powerful is your sword?"
"I'll stab you right now, and you'll feel the pain of death." Anthony immediately replied with a bold reply, then glared fiercely at Brutus, signaled him to be careful, and then pinched the noblewoman's buttocks and walked towards the incineration.
"Fuck it, I saw this disgusting thing when I did it!" At this time, the bare-bottomed Hebrida held a cloak and undershirt, and suddenly ran out of the cave in the incineratorium, still carrying a painted pottery urn in his hand, and the same naked noblewoman behind her, the white flesh swayed up and down and followed, shouting that you haven't given the money yet, and Hebrida shouted that I was scared by this thing, so the prostitution should be offset, and after speaking, he threw the pottery urn to the ground, and the fragments were full of black bone powder, and there were unburned skulls, Anthony saw carefully, the small, it should be a baby's, and Hebrida ran away like an arrow, The noblewoman sat on the ground, viciously cursing each other for not dying well in the name of Barr and Atasya as she gathered up the dirty ashes.
"I want you to explain this - the Punics actually sacrificed babies to the gods?" Anthony looked at this, and became disgusted, and questioned the noble lady beside him.
"Because that thing is an aphrodisiac elixir, especially for me." The noblewoman replied with a wry feeling, "You know, don't look at me now that I'm forty years old, but I'm married to five nobles, and now I have inherited more than ten million Sethres. ”
"And what about the five husbands in front of you?"
"They all died of exhaustion, and they died so blissfully - so the point of your concern is wrong, you should really know whether my skills are bragging or not." As she spoke, the lady scratched her hand on Anthony's earlobe and beard.
"Oh yes, as the saying goes, seeing is believing." Anthony has always been a desperate guy, and he was so fascinated by the other party's words that he trembled all over his body, his bones were crisp, and he immediately walked towards a certain cave near the incineration site.
Over there, the 13th, 15th, 16th, and 28th regiments, all gathered on the school ground, and Li Bida slowly ascended the pulpit amid cheers, and many officers and men shed tears when they saw that their beloved general had not yet spoken.
In the four legions, whether they were Lusitanians, Macedonians, Italians, Gaul Germans, Nubians, Agreans, and Matthias, although they had different skin colors and languages, and came from all corners of the world, they all couldn't help but cry on the spot when they saw the look of the commander.
