"There had been some disturbances and unpleasant repressions in the city of Rome before, but now that all the unpleasantness has passed, and the Republic is on the agenda of restoration, under the auspices of my great Pisso, Cicero, Caesar the Younger, Panza, and Antony, and so on, food will soon be delivered from all parts to the port of Ostia, and we are prepared to enlarge the number of civilians entitled to the free ration to 200,000, which was once reduced to 100,000 under the reign of Lord Caesar, For this purpose the treasury has to spend an additional three million dinars of silver every year, but for the sake of your well-being and the stability of the city, I believe that this qiē is worth it. In addition, the Executive Yuan, which had previously been located in the River Harbour only temporarily, now had a suitable location, namely, the city of Capua, between the Bay of Naples and Campernia, where a thousand high slaves trained in secret, transcription, finance, and planning, and a hundred knights, together with the Chief Governor Ebro, and the envoys of the various wartime provinces, would move to the other side, to deal with any taxes, books, and recruits in connection with the provinces to which they belonged. That is to say, ladies and gentlemen, that you are now at leisure, and you do not need to be overly busy with trivial matters, but concentrate on delighting the citizens of Rome with the festivities, and on negotiating on some important matters of state.

The contemptible people are ready to expand three or four more small wartime provinces after all the wars are over, for our enemies are still in the west and east of the world, and their total number is close to twenty legions, with many cavalry and archers, and a great number of rich cities groaning under their shackles, and have endured merciless exploitation and oppression. So we must expel and destroy the public enemies of these republics. Perform the ultimate revenge for Lord Julius. For this, huge consumption is essential. Therefore, in addition to the relocation of the Executive Yuan, our Committee of Ten considered that it would be better to temporarily abolish the treasury affairs and concentrate seventy percent of the taxes paid in the Holy Treasury for military expeditions within three years, and the specific quota was uniformly allocated by the Committee of Ten and the Executive Yuan according to the priorities of each battlefield.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's all I have to say, and I'm about to embark on a new journey. And in about a month, young Caesar will also swear to go on a campaign here, and I hope you will come to see him and his legion as you bid farewell to me. I'm King Numa and Rex. The descendants of Leus, my victory, and the victory of the Republic, will be sacrificed before the temple, and I hereby make a vow that upon my triumphant return, a new temple of Leus will be built on the side of the Temple of New Love in the Grand Square, and then, that is the end. You are waiting for my good news! ”

After saying this, Li Bida walked down the steps. The blue-gray smoke rose from the altar in the clear blue morning sky, and the high priest stepped on horseback, Matthias and Alp led his mounts for him, and then the eagle marker, the flag bearer, and the cavalry and the general, one by one, walked down the road at the foot of Capitor Hill towards the camp outside the city.

In the semicircular assembly hall opposite, Cicero and Barsatus were the first to stand up and applaud, followed by the rest of the senators, cheering, "God bless Rome, all the gods of the republic protect you and me." ”

As Lipida's troops advanced toward Naples, the legions of the various garrisons came back one by one, and the instruments of mobilization were like snowflakes, "Very well, my dear Calabia, a mighty fleet will soon be sent through the land of Brutus and Kasilyozhì, and the thirty-third and thirty-fourth legions will be sent to assist in the battle. ”

"His Excellency Theotarus, the monarch of Gerashia, is willing to act as an iron wall to keep Eulabella unable to unite with the legions of the Syrian province and confine him to a corner of Ephesus."

"Her Excellency Pharaoh, Ptolemy's female pharaoh, openly professed her 'coldness' towards me, and she only said that she would send a full amount of taxes, and grain enough to support four legions for a year, and three hundred transport ships to Cyrene as the second echelon, and besides she would not help me a penny - well, then it would be fine, she was really cold enough."

"Now the new fleet and the new army of the port of Brundim, the new city of Cyrene, are sailing towards Lilipa."

By the time Caesar took the oath of victory in the city, Li Bida had crossed the Strait of Messina with his staff, and the first few legions had gathered from all over the land and sea to the port of Liliba, and the whole port city had become a huge camp, and the cranes on the wharf never stopped, and the beaches, rivers, and hills outside the city were full of white barracks, like white sand covering the earth.

Soon Leo joined up with Habaruka, the slave who had crossed the sea, and set up camp in the town hall of Lilili, where the young man, assisted by hordes of slaves and knights, handled every day: salaries, books, armor, slaves, food, pack horses, and the dispatch of various ships, and he deeply realized what his father had said to him, that is, "to understand the logistics of an army, to understand what war is", and "for the Roman generals, They always believed that wisdom and courage were the basis for the control of war, but in fact they were wrong, that it was always money, equipment and transportation that influenced wars, and that "war is not only an art, but also accurate numbers and calculations".

In the occasional time of rest, he rode with his father and brother up to the high ground where the city temple was located, overlooking the roaring and tumbling sea and the vast whiteness of the sky. When Caesar went to Lusitania, he saw the ocean, and the Romans and all other peoples believed that it was the edge of the world. Li Bida stared at the boundary between sea and sky, reminiscing about the old days.

"That's right, the maps and books drawn by naturalists say that the world has ended here, and even the Punic ships of the past have not searched for people and countries further out." Leo sighed.

Li Bida laughed, "Silly boy, where did the edge of the world come from?" Then he looked at the crashing waves crashing against the reef, breaking and repeating, "Eighteen years?" I don't belong to this world, but I'm no longer confused now, Leo, Porty, Calabia, even Caesar, Pompey, are my bonds with this world, maybe the Creator used his irresistible hand to gently put my butterfly into this forest, and then he looked at me coldly through the cover formed by the atmosphere of heaven and earth, like a pet, it was ridiculous - but it was also really believable, I was the chosen one. After saying that, Li Bida took the reins and ran back and forth along the edge of the cliff twice, and then said to the two children, "Eighteen years ago, I did things according to the rules of the republic; Now, I'm going to reshape the country and make it subordinate to the will of me and my family!
