Victorypersonepensantiditutteleetà (Victory favors the far-sighted)

-- Latin proverb

Bai Feng, who was kicked down by Lao Luo from the air, was not only not afraid, but his heart was full of expectations for this new world. Thinking that he was about to become a majestic general, Bai Feng, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, shouted loudly to the city of Rome under him: "My Rome, I'm coming!" ”

In Rome, Marcus Maxentius, the consul of the Roman Republic, who was giving a speech in the Piazza della Republic, suddenly felt as if something was coming from the sky; When he looked up, he saw that there was nothing in the sky, but a meteor seemed to pass through the sky in the distance.

Meteor? By the way, the leader of the House of Augustus, who has always been known as the "Star of the Republic", has just been killed in the conflict between the Republic and Carthage, and today is the day when Oscar Augustus, the eldest son of the House of Augustus, will inherit the leadership of the family.

Thinking of this, His Excellency Archon Marcus has decided to go to the Augustus family's mansion tonight to attend the succession ceremony of the little Oscar. Because, whether in public or private, the succession ceremony of the House of Augustus today should have himself as the consul of the republic.

As far as the public is concerned, the elder Augustus died in battle for the cause of the republic, and as the consul of the republic, it is necessary for him to attend the enthronement ceremony of the Augustan family. As for personal considerations, it is even more important; The Maxentius family, to which he belonged, was known as the four great families of Rome along with the Julius family, the Scipio family, and the Brutus family.

However, in recent decades, his family has become more and more talented; Although it still controls the power of the Senate of the Republic, and even accounts for five of the six major officials, the actual situation is far less glamorous than it seems. Even among the five best officials in their own family, there are many people who have mediocre abilities and can only rely on their family power; Moreover, the power of his family has always been surrounded by the other three major families, and he can only rely on Rome to survive.

On the other hand, the Julius family has been victorious in the battle against the Gaul barbarians in the north, and the family power has expanded to two provinces; Although the Scipio family was also surrounded by other families, they worked hard to develop their navy, gaining a foothold in Sicily, and more recently the entire province of Upper Sicily; Needless to say, the Brutus family, who had always occupied the rich provinces of Apria and Brution, were now sharpening their knives and preparing to march into the Greek peninsula!

In such a delicate situation, the Maxentius family must choose the right path and go down carefully, otherwise their family will most likely disappear in the history of the Republic in the next few decades. And strengthening the connection with the Augustan family is the most correct way in the eyes of Marcus.

The Augustan family is also a famous family of the Republic, and its family history is not inferior to any of the four major families, but it has never had any ambitions, so it is not as beautiful as the other four families on the surface. If it is a real comparative strength, even if the Augustus family is not comparable to the four major families, it is definitely the undoubted fifth family of the Republic!

Moreover, among the five legions of the Republic, his own Maxentius family is in charge of the Legion of the Eagle; The Julius family is at the helm of the Bulls; Scipio is at the helm of the Boar Legion; The Brutus family is at the helm of the Legion of Horses; House Augustus is at the helm of the Wolf Legion. The Five Legions have been subordinate to the Five Great Families for more than two hundred years, and they are not so much the legions of the Republic as the legions of the five great families.

The reason why the Senate, represented by his own Maxentius family, has always been above the families and has become the symbol of the entire republic is because the Senate can firmly control the most elite of the five legions, the Eagle Legion and the Wolf Legion. And all this is based on the fact that the Augustus family has been silently standing behind their own Maxentius family, charging for the Senate and the Republic.

Now, the old Augustus was killed in battle at the age of 42, the Wolf Legion also suffered heavy casualties, and the little Oscar was only 20 years old, and the Augustus family was at a low point and needed the appeasement of his own consul. Only if the new leader of the House of Augustus is loyal to him, can the great House of Maxentius sit back and maintain their absolute rule over the Republic!

Seeing that it was not too early, Archon Marcus also ended his speech today, and instructed the personal swordsman behind him: "You immediately go to the family treasury to receive 10,000 gold coins and send them to the Augustus family mansion, and say that I will be there on time for tonight's enthronement ceremony." With that, he turned around and returned to his mansion under the escort of the army.

The city of Rome, the residence of the Augustan family, the Augustan family today has always been busy, and now it is even more of a chicken. Originally, everything was ready for today's enthronement ceremony, and it was only necessary for all the guests to gather at nightfall; As a result, His Excellency Oscar, who was the heir to the leader, suddenly stumbled and fell, and hit his head on the marble column, and he was not breathing on the spot. Everyone panicked at this moment, even Oscar's two younger brothers, Tuka and Raka, who had just come of age, were at a loss; The servants had already hurried to the Wolf Legion garrison outside the city to inform the last member of the Augustus family, General Luquis, the lieutenant of the Wolf Legion.

Just when everyone was anxious, "Oscar" on the bed had begun to wake up gradually. Of course, this "Oscar" is not the original Oscar; He is none other than our male protagonist, Comrade Bai Feng. Yes, it's another classic resurrection of the corpse; It's rotten, but it's still very useful.

The moment Bai Feng entered Oscar's body, countless pieces of information poured into Bai Feng's mind at once, and Bai Feng, who is now Oscar, immediately understood the cause and effect of everything. The owner of this body is the heir of a huge family, and he is going to inherit the leader of the family immediately! Not only that, but this family also owns the Legion of Wolves, one of the five legions of the Republic! Well, even if it's a crippled legion, it's a legion, it's not. Of course, none of this matters! The important thing is that after tonight, you can let go of your hands and feet and fight for the realization of your imperial dream! Could there be anything more exciting than that?!

Thinking of this, Oscar (the name Bai Feng will basically not appear in the future, only His Excellency Oscar Leader!) I was so excited; As a result, I didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva and choked on myself, and immediately coughed violently. His cough scared everyone around him, and everyone thought that Oscar had cheated the corpse. Only his two younger brothers, Tuka and Raka, rushed up to you and asked him if he was okay and if he wanted the doctor to come in again.

Looking at the two anxious and immature faces, Oscar felt a warm current flowing through his heart; He has been an only child for so many years before, but he has never let his "own brother" care so much. So, he smiled and said, "I'm fine, you just hurry up and continue to prepare for the enthronement ceremony." From tonight onwards, I will take you to revitalize the family in the future! ”

Before the words fell, Tuka hurriedly said, "Big brother, how can you be okay!" You've been in a coma for two hours, and you can't even breathe, so you might as well get some rest. "Yes, big brother. During the time your father died in battle, you have been busy with family affairs and preparing for your father's funeral, and you are so tired to prepare for the enthronement ceremony before you are done. It's better to postpone the enthronement ceremony, and you can rest for two days first. With Tuka finished, Raka continued.

Oscar smiled and was about to open his mouth to speak, when someone outside the door said as he walked, "You two little bastards are coming up with this kind of bad idea again!" Oscar is the heir and new leader of the House of Augustus, what is this little thing? Next time, let me hear you dare to say such things, and see that I don't throw you two in the barracks to clean you up! “

As soon as the words ended, a strong blond man with a height of more than 1.9 meters walked in wearing a standard Roman general's battle armor with a short sword at his waist. When Oscar saw this man, he immediately got up from the bed and hugged his fists and greeted him, "Uncle Luquis, why are you here?" Tuka and Raqqa are young and ignorant, and I hope Uncle Lucis will not be surprised! “

Luquis saw Oscar greeting him with a fist, immediately leaned to the side, and said to Oscar in a serious tone: "Oscar, this is the last time I call you Oscar; From now on, you will be the leader of the House of Augustus, and you will also be the object of my allegiance to Luquis, and the gift of master and servant cannot be abolished. "Uncle Luquis, you watched me grow up with my brother; In any case, you are our uncle and we are all family, so it doesn't have to be between you and me. "No! Whether it's me, Tuka, or Raqqa, from the day you became the leader of the family, we are not only relatives, but also master and slave! There are no rules, no circle, whether it is a republic or a family, the foundation is order. So, Oscar, you should understand how to do it. "Okay, of course I know what to do, my Uncle Oscar! Tuka, Raqqa, go and let the servants continue to prepare for the enthronement ceremony in the evening, and I have something to say to Uncle Luquis. "Yes, big brother." Tuka and Raqqa came out in response. Leaving Oscar and Lucquis in the bedroom.
