- Socrates (famous ancient Greek thinker, philosopher, and educator)

With the addition of the 10,000-strong army of the Dinnoir legion, Tetius was not absolutely sure that the 10,000-strong army under his command could be defeated by three times the enemy army of Spain; As a result, Tetius had no choice but to lead his army to slowly retreat.

The barracks of the Third Legion of the Augustus family had already been burned down during the sneak attack; In order to confront the Spanish army on the opposite side, Tetius slowly retreated, and while he also sent the soldiers of the auxiliary regiment of the Fourth Army to begin to quickly retreat, to set up a new military camp at the designated position.

The new barracks were located a hundred meters in front of the old barracks, in order to be closer to the Spanish army and easier to observe the Spanish army's every move; After successfully repelling the Augustus army, the Duke of Dinoy led his army into the Spanish military camp.

The Spanish military camp at this time was not the intact military camp it was when the war began; After the bombardment of Tetius's armament troops, the barracks of the Spanish army completely became a refugee camp, and even inferior to a refugee camp.

After the Duke of Dinoy and Botricott met, after some discussion, the two formally decided to abandon the barracks, and the whole army retreated back 500 meters to reorganize the barracks, so that the soldiers of the Spanish army could rest and regain their combat effectiveness.

In order to take advantage of the numerical superiority of the Spanish army, the new barracks will be built in three whole formations, and they will be arranged in an inverted triangle formation; The distance between the three barracks was also the same to facilitate communication between the three armies.

Among them, the army stationed in the central barracks belonged to the 8,000 soldiers led by Botricott himself; On the left flank was the Duke of Dinnoy's legion, while on the right flank was the 1st Regiment of Tecomin and 2nd of the Gezca.

In this way, although the troops stationed in the three barracks are different, their combat effectiveness is much the same; In the event of a war between each other, it is also extremely convenient to support, and it is not easy to be defeated by the Augustus army one by one.

As for the Augustan family's powerful armaments, Botracot was not worried at all; He knew that the Augustus family's instrumental troops had only bombarded so many rounds just now, and it must have been because the artillery shells were exhausted, otherwise how could the generals of the Augustus family stop the attack of the instrumental troops so easily?

Of course, the exhaustion here does not include the Augustan family's catapult troops; Everyone knows that there can't be anything without the concept of a stone catapult, because the artillery of a stone catapult is a stone, and stones are simply everywhere, okay?

However, the construction of the catapult made it impossible to shoot multiple times in a row; Therefore, relying on those dozen or so catapults alone is like breaking through the barracks of the Spanish army, which is also unrealistic. After all, there were still 3,000 shield cavalry in the Spanish barracks; As long as the Augustus family dared to continue to use catapults to attack the Spanish military camp, the Spanish army would not care about the casualties of 3,000 cavalry!

The Spanish army had just suffered a defeat in the attack on Córdoba, and had paid a considerable number of casualties for it, and the immediate priority was naturally to recuperate and regain its combat effectiveness; And Tetius's army has also traveled for a long time, and the situation between us and the enemy is not clear, so they do not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, the combined legions under the command of Tetius and the Spanish army were temporarily confronted across the border areas of the two sides; Perhaps, after both sides have rested, it will be time for the decisive battle between each other. However, before that, there was still quite good restraint and stability between the armies of the two sides, and neither took the initiative to disrupt this equilibrium between the two sides.

At the same time that Tetius led the army to confront the Spanish army, the reinforcements led by Oscar and Luquis also officially arrived in the open sea of the port of Betica, and were ready to land in the province of Betica at any time!

Although for nearly twenty days, Oscar has been on the battleship; However, the situation of the war in the province of Betica was passed on to Oscar by the members of the two major intelligence organizations in the form of flying pigeons.

When Oscar learned that the commander of the Fifth Legion, Ronquina, had decisively sent reinforcements and saved Cordoba defended by the remnants of Marcus's army, he praised Ronquina for his decisiveness and Marcus's courage to die, and said that they must be rewarded after the battle.

As for the cruel measures taken by Tetius against the local nobles who had betrayed the House of Augustus when he counterattacked the Spanish army, it caused Oscar's displeasure; This is not to say that Oscar disagrees with Tetius's approach, but Tetius's move is really against the Augustus family's system of separation of military and political powers.

According to the system of the House of Augustus, the administrative affairs of the localities were completely separate from the military affairs of the army; Officials of any rank have no right to interfere in the affairs of the army, and likewise no generals of any rank have the right to interfere in the affairs of local administration.

The disposition of those officials who betrayed the Augustan family was obviously a matter of local administration, and Tetius's move could be regarded as destroying the system of the Augustan family to some extent; However, institutions are dead and people are alive.

In the circumstances that Tetius faced, even Tetius himself did not know that reinforcements from the House of Augustus would arrive in the province of Betica so quickly; Coupled with the crimes committed by those betrayers against the officials of the Augustus family, Tetius's actions were understandable, and Oscar asked himself if he would definitely do the same thing as Tetius in that situation.

This kind of method, which is almost transgressive, but also full of violence and blood, will indeed play a very huge role in extraordinary times; Unaware of the imminent arrival of reinforcements from the House of Augustus, the Third Legion had been almost completely wiped out, leaving less than a few hundred remnants of the army. And the Fifth Army confronted the Spanish army in the east, leaving the Fourth Army really not many options.

They had to go north to regain lost territory, but also guard against the Spanish army in front, and the stability of the rear was especially important for the Fourth Army; In order to make an example and ensure stability within the province of Betica, it is understandable that Tetius took some such measures.

In fact, Oscar had no intention of blaming Tetius for this; After all, if it weren't for Tetius leading the Fourth Army all the way north to reinforce Córdoba, even if Córdoba received the support of the Fifth Army, it would not have been possible to defend for long, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.

In any case, in the face of the undeclared sneak attack of the superior army of the Kingdom of Spain, the performance of the three legions of the Augustus family was remarkable; Especially the soldiers of the Third Legion, if it weren't for the spirit of fighting to the last man who had supported the situation of the Augustus family in Betika, perhaps the province of Betica would have really been captured by the Kingdom of Spain.

As for the one who said, 'Tell the leader that I have done my best, and tell my father that I still love him; Even if we all die, Augustus will exist! He will become the first captain of the Augustus family to be posthumously awarded the title of Marquis, and he will be the hero who will always be remembered by the Augustus family!

When Oscar saw this sentence from the information transmitted back by the tragic dead man, Oscar, who originally thought that he was used to the countless casualties on the battlefield, actually left tears of sadness; Oscar himself didn't know why he was so sad when he saw this sentence, but Oscar clearly felt the pain in his heart.

Perhaps, this captain of Baans was only the one who could put these words into words, and every wounded who chose to give everything for the Augustus family that night was such a generous and sad man; So, Oscar was moved.

He looked at this sentence quietly, as if he saw countless Augustus soldiers who went forward in battle and regarded death as home, using their blood and lives to create a brilliant future for the Augustus family; At the same time, he also saw countless fathers waiting for their children to return at home, wives waiting for their husbands to return, and children waiting for their fathers to return, which is what made Oscar killed.

Once it will succeed, the rise of a family will not only need ten thousand bones? Since the Augustan family has chosen this path, they can only go down rain or shine; And what Oscar can do is to make these Augustus soldiers pay as few casualties as possible.

Even if the soldiers of the Augustan family died on the battlefield, Oscar would give their families the best treatment; Perhaps, those treatments are meaningless compared to the family members they have lost. However, as the leader of the Augustan family, Oscar must not let his family's soldiers shed blood and die on the battlefield while making their family poor!

After the large fleet approached the port, the first to land was naturally the Samonai Legion of Antio, after the Samonian Legion landed in the port and took full control of everything on the port; It was Oscar and Mary's turn to land, and it was the 1,000 family guards led by Nusis himself who were responsible for protecting Oscar and Mary.

The reason why Oscar didn't bring all the family guards this time was because Prisca and her mother and other old and young women and children of the Maxentius family also came to Syracuse; In order to protect the safety of these people and prevent any possible accidents, Oscar naturally has to leave enough strength to protect them.

After Oscar, Mary, and the family guards all landed in the harbor, the last to land was Luquis's First Legion; The fully equipped First Legion is the absolute main force of the Augustus family to reinforce the province of Betica, and it is also the core force of the Augustus family's upcoming conquest of the Iberian Peninsula!
