- Herodotus (ancient Greek historian, revered as the "father of history")

It has been half a month since the last family meeting room was arranged, and Rome in August has already felt a little like the sun; The coolness of the sea breeze on your body is far less fierce than that of the scorching sun. With the exception of the First Legion, everything else began to fall into place.

Luquis and Bayliss are training hard with the Wolf Legion, and the Wolf Legion's combat effectiveness is rapidly recovering; Thales also set out with the gladiators, and should have arrived in Lower Sicilia by this time; Tuka was also working day and night with his guards in the Casa Star, and Raqqa had taken the guards to the country manor near the port ten days earlier. Even Crete received news that the elite of the two brigades had boarded the ship and set off.

All the plans are going on in an orderly manner, and the only flaw is Oscar! Helpless, Your Excellency the head of a family who has crossed over; Whether it was Bai Feng before the crossing, or Oscar before he became a leader, he didn't understand the specific training of the legion! So, after a few days of wandering around the First Legion training grounds, Oscar found himself with nothing to do.

Under the leadership of the five-man general headed by Licinius and under the supervision of 300 middle-ranking officers, the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment has improved by leaps and bounds, at least it has achieved a small success. The result? As a result, His Excellency, the leader of our great House of Augustus, has nothing to do. Idle, bored, Oscar can only walk around the barracks by himself, watching others train himself to talk to himself.

As for why our Excellency Oscar is a person, it must start with an incident five days ago. Five days earlier, on the morning of the war, Oscar had been directing the officers to train the recruits when he had noticed that little Carabes, who had been following his ass all day, was missing; Originally, this was not a big deal, but His Excellency Oscar had already discovered that he was not good at training and coaching.

So, Lord Oscar needs little Carabes to be by his side to talk to him; In this way, even His Excellency Oscar, who can't interject elsewhere, can pretend to lecture little Carabes! Well, now little Carabes is gone; Isn't this a deliberate attempt to block His Excellency Oscar?! So, Oscar filled the barracks and began to search for little Carabess.

Because Oscar believed that with little Carabess's personality and loyalty to himself, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave the barracks behind his back. It turned out that His Excellency Oscar's guess was correct. Little Carabes was still in the barracks, but the scene in front of him made Oscar even more devastated; It turned out that Carabes Jr. was discussing a new round of training plans with Vipsani.

This made Oscar wonder why he didn't know anything about training; And little Carabis also stays in the Casa Star all day like himself, but he is so proficient in training? After discovering the Oscar who was peeking from the sidelines, Vipsani, who is known as the Legion's brain (self-perceived), graciously invited the Oscar to come in and listen.

After Oscar walked in with what he thought was mighty, Vipsani spoke to Oscar about the power of little Carabes. It turned out that at a drill commanded by Vipsani yesterday, little Carabes casually said the mistakes of the army commanded by Vipsani in the drill and the way to avoid them.

This displeased Vepsani, who had always felt that he had achieved a little in commanding strategy, that you were just a little house slave; Do you dare to argue with me because you are the personal servant of Your Excellency? So Vipsani called little Carabes into his tent and began to discuss the specifics of the training. As a result, Vepsani had to admit that Carabes Jr. was right, and that there were indeed many mistakes in his drills.

But Vipsani, who could not allow himself to be compared to a little servant, continued to discuss other military matters with little Carabes, and the more they discussed, the more alarming they became; In the end, it was amazing! This little Carabes, though he had never participated in a single battle, had never even entered the barracks. However, his comprehension of all aspects of military affairs is innate, and this person is simply a natural general! This is what Vipsani said about Calabes Jr.

Hearing Vipsani say this, Oscar also looked at little Carabes with a strange eye; Little Carabes was born in the same year as himself, although he was a servant of the family. But because he was the son of the old butler, and the Calabes family had been stewards for the House of Augustus for more than two hundred years; So, no one really treated him like an ordinary servant.

However, is little Carabes really as mysterious as Vipsani said? Oscar doesn't believe it anyway. Seeing Oscar's distrust, Vepsani took Oscar and Calabes Jr. to the training ground, and then randomly selected a brigade to be led by Carabes Jr., and asked Legion Adjutant General Licinius to lead the first brigade to simulate a battle with Carabes Jr.

Licinius was unwilling, after all, bullying a newcomer on the battlefield is not a glorious thing; Moreover, this newcomer is also the personal servant of His Excellency, the head of the family and the commander of the legion. Isn't this typical no-brainer? Seeing Licinius' reluctance, Vipsani whispered a few words in Licinius' ear; Then our lieutenant reluctantly agreed to take the chief brigade into a fight.

As a result, he almost made Lord Oscar bite his tongue off; Little Carabes, who commanded the troops, seemed to be a different person, and he could no longer see his usual casualness, and his whole body exuded an incomparable momentum. As a fierce general on the battlefield, Licinius led the first brigade to destroy only one-third of the troops under the command of Calabes Jr. at the cost of all his deaths!

Even Licinius's defeat itself had an element of underestimating the enemy, but this was the first time that little Carabes commanded an army in battle! Is this a natural talent? I'll go! I'm simply the Roman version of Sun Wu and Han Xin! It's really no surprise in life, this surprise seems to come a little timely, just because there is a shortage of talents on my side, and suddenly a genius who opened the hang appeared.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Oscar became, he immediately called little Carabes to his military tent for some ideological education and guidance; No one knows what the mysterious Oscar said to little Carabis inside, but the two have been talking secretly inside, until the spring breeze Oscar came out with a blank face during lunch.

After lunch, Oscar said that the family had something to do and took little Carabes back to the family; In the evening, the entire First Legion saw His Excellency Oscar returning from his horse slowly and happily. Then, when everyone, including Vipsani, inquired about the whereabouts of little Carabes; His Excellency Oscar simply replied with a word of secrecy. The rest is nothing to say.

In particular, His Excellency the Adjutant General of the Licinaean Army, because he was unwilling to lose, wanted to find the field and asked more, but was ridiculed by His Excellency Oscar for not losing badly enough. On the spot, His Excellency Adjutant General Licinius blushed and ran away like a monkey's ass, and the others stopped asking anything.

The day after the disappearance of Calabes the Younger, all the gladiators of the entire Latin province were swept away by a force in five days; The last 100,000 gold coins in the Augustan treasury were gone; At the same time, a movement of exiles appeared on the border between the Latin and Etruscan provinces.

…………

After thinking that little Carabes should have arrived at the designated position today, His Excellency Oscar, who was still quite bored, suddenly became excited again; Oscar thought silently in his heart: Little Carabes, I have given you the most primitive power; I hope you can surprise me in the future! A natural genius like you shouldn't let anyone limit your development, and you, a genius, will definitely shock the entire Republic in time!

Whether it was Oscar, or Vipsani and others, everyone underestimated this young man who was born into a family of servants; No one thought that this man, who now looks unattractive, would become the greatest god of war in Roman history! Even the greatest figures will be slowly forgotten by history; And those who can be remembered by history, every one of them is an epic! And their life experience is a legend!

All the characters born in an era of heroes will be tragic, because their light is like a firefly trying to compete with the sun compared to a true legend. In such an era when all ethnic groups are dominant, families compete for hegemony, and empires rise, the existence of heroes is an inevitability; However, there will always be two names that will be remembered by the world for generations.

Augustus the Great! Karabes, the god of arms!

Two names, two legends, one empire; This is their time. No matter how amazing the character is, no matter how the hero is in the world, it will be overshadowed in front of these two people; Because it's an era of two!
