Ah! Igenerali! Dovrebberoesserenumerosi, manonserveamolto! Generals! They are numerous, but they are of little use! ）

- Aristophanes (ancient Greek comedy writer)

Oscar, who walked into the temple, was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, and felt full of passion and blood in an instant; If he were to die for Augustus now, neither Bai Feng nor Oscar would have any hesitation. Because at this moment, there is only Augustus!

Because of the continuous load-bearing walls, the interior space is single and limited. But it is complete, the geometry is simple, clear and harmonious, as cheerful, vast and solemn as the universe itself. The recessed lattices on the dome divide the hemispherical surface, making it uniform in scale with the wall. The lattice becomes smaller and smaller as it goes up, and the light from the large hole in the center of the dome gives it a vivid hemispherical shape.

The division of the lattice and the wall forms a horizontal ring, which is very stable. The composition of the surrounding areas is continuous, regardless of the priority before and after, which strengthens the sense of unity of the space. The division of the walls, the patterns of the floor, the pilasters and niches decorated are all of normal scale, so that although the building is large, it does not make people feel oppressed. The center of the ground is slightly convex, and it gradually lowers towards the edge, forming an arc, full and alive like a body.

The entire family temple has a simple exterior shape and ornate interior decoration, which can be called a treasure of Roman architecture. The temple creates a large interior space that shocks the hearts of those who enter the temple and creates strong familial feelings. The shrines on the four walls of the hall are dedicated to the Roman gods, and there are several altars in the hall.

On the right, the first altar has a portrait of the leader of the first Augustan family. On the second altar there is a portrait of the leader of the second Augustan family, the masterpiece of the famous painter Melesot, and to the left and right of it are two stone statues of angels, carved by Bernini. On the third altar is a portrait of the leader of the third generation of the House of Augustus. It was the bloody efforts of these three generations of Augustan leaders that gave rise to the Augustan family of today.

Then there is the altar on the left, the fourth altar with a portrait of the seventh generation of the family leader of the House of Augustus; It was this Augustus who led the family to Rome, making the Augustan family a Roman nobility in the true sense of the word. The fifth altar features a portrait of the ninth leader of the House of Augustus; Thanks to his efforts, the Legion of the Wolves, one of the five legions of the Republic, officially became the legion of the House of Augustus. On the sixth altar is Oscar's grandfather, the thirteenth Augustus, whose contribution to the family is to successfully establish the smuggling of Augustus with foreigners, creating a financial path for the family.

In the middle of the two altars, there is also the central altar, on which is a statue of Augustus carved by Rossi. This is an Augustus dressed in armor and armed with a Roman banner and sword; However, the face of this Augustus was obscured by a helmet mask. Because he is not a man, he is Augustus. Behind the altar there is a blank space, reserved for Augustus, who will make outstanding contributions to the family in the future; Behind them are two white marble shelfs, all of which are made of black marble.

On the left side of the shelf are all the family leaders of the Augustus family, a total of seventeen spiritual seats, the seventeenth is Oscar's "father", the previous family leader Camus Augustus! On the spiritual shelf on the right are every family member who has dedicated their lives to the family, including the brothers and families of the previous leaders, and even the members of the family with different surnames like Thales's father, who shed the last drop of blood for the Augustan family.

There is a stone tablet in the middle of the two spiritual thrones, which is inscribed: For Augustus, there was never any difference between intimacy and alienation, let alone distance and proximity; All members of the House of Augustus had the same status, except for their allegiance to the supreme leader. Even the heir to the family is just a member of the family until he inherits the position of leader, just like other family members. A great family is never a family struggle, be kind to everyone who is willing to die for the family, take the lead, and never swerving until death, this is Augustus!

Looking at all this, Oscar's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Now, he finally knows why Augustus has so many hidden hole cards, why Augustus is so strong, all because of this; Every Augustus has adhered to this philosophy, hundreds of years of perseverance and hard work, how likely is this Augustan family weak?! However, is such a family really just a family created by hand? Can you really treat this family as an NPC?

If, all this is true; Everything is more than just a game, so is empire still so easy to build? Can you really dominate the world? Don't let the Golden Iron Horse become a horse leather shroud! Forget it, I don't want to think so much; Now that he has come, and has become the new Augustus; If not for anything else, you can't give up for the hundreds of years of bloody struggle of the Augustus family! I hope that my life here will live up to the name of the House of Augustus. Everything, for Augustus!

Oscar, who was no longer cranky, did not stay here, but continued to walk deeper into the temple. Coming to the deepest part of the temple is the enthronement hall of the new leader of the House of Augustus; It is said to be a hall, but it is actually a very small living room, with only a marble table with three things on the table: a set of leader's armor custom-made for the new Augustus, a short sword symbolizing the leader, and a black ring symbolizing the family.

After Oscar walked into the enthronement hall, he first took off his coat, and then gradually put on the armor that was tailor-made for him. Black tiger head shoulder armor, glowing black wrist armor, leg armor and waist armor, black cuirass without decoration, a string of letters on the heart goggles - Oscar (Oscar), black skirt armor, and even the boots are cowhide combat boots with iron plates inside; Finally, fix the black wolf cloak on the tiger head and shoulder armor on both sides.

After arranging his armor, Oscar picked up the dagger with his name engraved on it; The hilt of the black short sword is not unusual, but you can feel a hint of coolness in your hand; The body of the sword is carved with an unknown pattern, glowing with a blue glow; Stick the dagger on the left side of your waistplate. He picked up his own leader ring again, and as expected, in the middle of the black ring was a blue gem with his name engraved in it; After placing the ring on the ring finger of his right hand and picking up the last black-collared iron helmet, Oscar walked out of another door in the hall.

Behind another door in the hall was a room lined with 17 sculptures, each wearing the same armor as Oscar's, and a dagger with the same dagger at his waist. The only difference is that each sculpture has no family ring on its finger; Because their rings were placed in their spiritual seats after they died. Each family leader has a small hidden box on their spiritual seat, which contains their own family ring.

looked at the sculptures that looked very different, but were dressed in the same way; It's hard to describe what Oscar feels in his heart. He really didn't know how to describe what he saw tonight, and the impact of all this on him was really great. He never imagined that he would become the heir of a family, and see this person who has dedicated his life to this family; For the first time, Oscar felt the weight of the word family, heavy, and he felt a little out of breath.

Thinking that there are still so many people waiting for him outside, this great family still needs to lead himself; Oscar was no longer sentimental, put an iron helmet on his head, and walked through the sculptures one by one, to another door in this room. Oscar, who took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door to leave.

Oscar, pushing open the door, suddenly found himself standing on a high staircase, and below the staircase was a spacious square; At this moment, the square is full of people that Oscar did not expect. On the left side of the square, Luquis led the remnants of the Wolf Legion in four well-equipped brigades, each with a torch in his hand, lined up in a square phalanx; On the right, in the mansion of Tyles, a thousand heavy infantry guards and five hundred slaves in leather armor were also in a phalanx with torches in their hands.

Oscar is seen dressed in the standard dress of the leader of the Augustan family, just like Camais Augustus back then; Under the leadership of Luquis and Thales, all the people in the square knelt on one knee at the same time and shouted, "Swear allegiance to the leader!" Swear allegiance to Augustus! The series of chanting made Oscar, who had been in a state of excitement, even more excited, and couldn't help but pull out the short sword in his hand, raise it in his left hand, hold the sword in his right hand, point the sword to the sky, and shout: "Augusto (Augustus)"

Seeing this scene, everyone below became even more crazy, and they all stood up and drew their short swords, pointing at the sky like Oscar, and shouted loudly: "Augusto! Augusto！ Augusto！ ……“

In the VIP hall, the nobles who were talking and laughing together suddenly heard bursts of cheers, and everyone instantly fell silent. I don't know which nobleman said it, but another typical Augustus was born. As soon as these words were uttered, an eerie atmosphere rose up in the hall; Everyone was thinking thoughtfully about their own business, and the whole hall was quiet except for another cheer in the distance.
