- Fabricus Syrus (Roman sage)

At 3:30 a.m. on September 15, all the preparations for the landing were ready; Eight triremes were on guard on the perimeter, while twenty-three twin warships were close to the coast to cover the transports, and the officers and men on the transports boarded their boats and were ready to march toward the coast at any time. In order for this battle plan against Lilica to have the desired effect, Oscar abandoned the attack on the port of Lower Sicilia and chose to launch a landing on the coastline.

The first group responsible for the landing was the first brigade of the Wolf Legion, with the combat experience and elite level of the first brigade, even the Spartan heavy infantry of the Guards Regiment did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to defeat them, this is the first brigade of the most elite Wolf Legion of the Augustus family! After the landing of the first group, it will be responsible for setting up a small light guidance device on land so that the large forces behind can quickly land.

At this moment, Oscar also took Licini, Mary, and Shi Xiu to the boat and quietly waited for the signal of the first brigade; On the sea, there were at least five or more small boats moored next to each transport ship, and the boats were full of soldiers from the Wolf Legion and the Guards. When the first small lighthouse appeared on the shore, the bright lights illuminated the way for the waiting crowd!

Then one after another small lighthouses appeared on the shoreline, and when the last lighthouse was erected, the soldiers of the First Brigade shot their arrows. Arrows whistled and exploded in the sky, like a starting pistol in a stadium; Countless boats immediately began to row towards the shore after hearing the sound of arrows.

Oscar's boat also quickly headed towards the coast under the rowing of the soldiers of the Guards, and the second wave of landing troops was Oscar's Thousand Guards Regiment and the second and third brigades of the Wolf Legion. Due to the limited number of boats suitable for coastal landing, the volume of transportation is also limited; Therefore, the army could only be divided into five waves for a batch landing.

The first wave was the first brigade that had already boarded the road to open the way, the second wave was the generals and the guards regiment and the second and third brigades, the third wave was the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades, the fourth wave was the seventh and eighth brigades and various supplies, and the fifth wave was the ninth and tenth brigades and various supplies. It will take about four hours to complete the entire landing plan, and it is expected that the landing plan will be completed by 8 a.m.

The second wave of landings led by Oscar himself was also completed smoothly, and as soon as Oscar stepped off the boat, he saw Narsi, the co-captain of the Wolf Legion who had led the first brigade to establish the landing site. The scar on Narsi's face looks more and more hideous and terrifying in the light, but Oscar likes him very much; Because his full head of black hair always makes Oscar feel very relatable.

Narsi, who saw Oscar, was also very excited, and immediately stepped forward and gave a standard Roman military salute to Oscar; Then he said: "Your Excellency, I have ordered the First Brigade to set up a temporary military tent a hundred meters behind the landing site, so that Your Excellency the Leader can rest first after landing; After all the generals have landed, a combat meeting can be held here. ”

Oscar is very satisfied with Narsi's performance, although this person is not very capable, but he is meticulous and serious; is also a veteran general in the army, and he did a good job this time. Just as Oscar was about to praise Narssi a few words, Mary, who was immediately following Oscar off the boat, suddenly burst out: "Sycophant! This scene was a little embarrassing, because Nalsey didn't know Mary's identity, he thought that Mary was Oscar's lover and didn't dare to say anything, but his face turned red.

Oscar had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, took Narsi's arm and walked towards the military tent while saying to Narsi: "Narsi, you are the general I personally promoted, I trust you." I have no doubts about your abilities, and Mary is not my woman; She is also a member of the House of Augustus and is considered your naval colleague. She has always spoken impulsively, and what she said just now is just a joke, you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Nalsey hurriedly shook his head and said to Oscar: "The last general's loyalty to the leader can be seen, and Miss Mary is also outspoken; Naturally, the last general will not take it to heart, please rest assured, Your Excellency, Leader. Of course, that's just what Narsi said on the surface; It was thought in his heart: You think I'm going to believe that you don't have anything? The leader of the Augustan family is not a day or two, can we still hold a grudge against the hostess?

Nalsi didn't care about Mary's words at all, but was quite grateful to Mary; Because with Narsi's thoughts, it was natural to see that after Mary had mocked herself, His Excellency Oscar immediately felt sorry for himself. Therefore, a painless sentence in exchange for the Oscar leader's good impression of himself, this is a lucrative business!

Oscar didn't expect that Nalsey still had so many little calculations in his heart; He did, however, apologize to Nalsey for Mary's words. So, I didn't say anything more. After arriving at the door of the military tent, Oscar did feel Narsi's intentions; The entire military tent is basically a temporary legion tent, and all the facilities are basically there, and even the tables and chairs of the main general are ready.

Coupled with the soldiers of the first brigade patrolling back and forth outside the military tent, Oscar's heart said that it was fake not to be moved; But it's inconvenient to say anything more at this moment. So, Oscar only said to Narsey: "Work hard, the family will not treat you badly, and I will not forget your credit." Immediately, Oscar took Licinius and his second daughter into the military tent.

After entering the military tent, what else did Mary want to say; But Shi Xiu pulled Mary's hand, and Mary didn't attack Shi Xiu this time, but did it quietly as Shi Xiu. Soon, the acting commander of the Belize regiment brought Attis, Agrippa, Scorry and other generals to the military tent, and greeted them again. Now, everyone is just waiting for the commander of the Gatsea fleet and the commander of Anne.

The crowd waited less than five minutes before Gatsi and Anne came to the tent; This time, Oscar didn't waste any more time greeting anything, just let them sit in the seats of the generals below. At this moment, Oscar is sitting on the main podium; On the right, led by Baylis, in order of Narsi, Aetis, Agrippa, and Scorry; On the left is led by Licini, followed by Gatsi, Anne, Shixiu, and Mary.

Looking at the ten people on the left and right, Oscar said solemnly: "Now that time is pressing, there is no time to let you know each other again; The ones on the right are all the generals of the family's wolf legion, and the ones on the left are all the admirals of the family except for Licinius. Although these three beauties are all women, they are also heroes among women; Don't underestimate them.

Landfall is still going on on the coast, and the third wave is only now being carried out; As soon as the remaining two waves were over, our battle plan began. Now I will assign the tasks to each of you: first, on the army side, Licinius, you are in charge of the Guards and acting with myself; Skory, you are in charge of the 9th and 11th Brigades to garrison the landing site. ”

As if seeing Scorry's reluctance, Oscar said calmly to Skory: "Scolry, don't think I'm biased against you; Or think I don't value you. You know, our enemy this time is Hannibal; My father died at his hands in battle, and countless famous generals of the Republic died at his hands. There is no guarantee that we will win, and if something happens, you will be our last line of defense; Don't let me down. ”

Scolly, who was still dissatisfied, heard the leader of Oscar speak to him like this, and immediately stood up with red eyes and swore to Oscar: "The last will swear with his own life that he will guard the landing site; People are on the coast, and people are dead on the coast. Never let your Excellency the Leader down! Looking at the excited Skory, Oscar said:

"General Skorry, I believe in you; But you also have to promise me to live well. Everyone you are doing is the most valuable treasure of the family, and it is easy to get a thousand armies and hard to find; I am not afraid of losing the battle, nor am I afraid of heavy losses, I am afraid that you will have casualties. So, whether it's Scorley, or every one of you here; You all have to promise me to live well. Because not only your family needs you, but the Augustan family also needs you, and I, Oscar, can't do without you! ”

Oscar's touching words made everyone present feel a warm current flowing through their hearts, even Mary, who has always been grinning, and Shi Xiu, who is moody, also have slightly red eyes. Oscar didn't say anything more sensational, but continued to order:

"Narsi, you are responsible for leading the First Brigade as the vanguard, clearing the way for the reconnaissance of the large forces behind in the front; Belis, you and Etis lead the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Brigades of the remaining Wolf Legion, and are responsible for the march of the large army; Agrippa, you alone lead the Eighth Brigade to take charge of the palace, and all the supplies will also be under your management.

On the naval side, Gatsi, you leave behind four tri-columns and fourteen transports, and then you lead the rest of the fleet to Sardinia to join the Richards and Carters, who are the first heroes of the navy; Annie, you command nine twin battleships and the flagship Anne and are responsible for the vigilance of the waters off the landing zone; Shi Xiu, you are responsible for commanding the remaining seven triremes and twenty transports on standby in the landing area.

If you don't have any opinions, let's carry out the order as soon as the fifth wave of landings is over. It would take nine hours of rapid marching from here to Lilibal, and we could not afford to lose time. “
