In order to facilitate the unification of combat, Brutu ordered the republicans to be combined into one, that is, the army composed of four veterans and the Greeks, the first to fourth legions, while the two legions in Casio were the fifth and sixth legions, the two legions of Urabella in Little Yaionia were the seventh and eighth legions, and the newly recruited nineth and tenth legions in Thessalia and other places, and the Etolian armed forces also formed a separate army, taking on the wing.

Now, the two legions of Kasio and the combined fleet have defeated the city-state of Rhodes, but Brutu hopes that he will only use one legion of army and send another legion and most of the fleet back to Greece and Peloponnese, and place this legion in the narrow isthmus of Corinth, so as to protect Brutu's attack route.

By the way, Brutu, generals nine and ten two new recruits, led by Horas and Virgil, Liutun in Athens and Uberia, monitored the army of Sabo and Adiana that might appear from the Fort Lebida. Brutu and the other generals led four main legions, Etolia's minions, and the Eighth Legion sent by Urabera across the sea, a total of six legions, followed the avenue and rushed towards the Apsus River - this river was the key point that Caesar, Libida, Pompeii, and Rabinus had fought in the past, and was also the key point of the junction between Epirus and Greece. The city of Bugalotum here happened to be the location of Agripa's headquarters.

Now Agripa was full of hesitation. After learning about his friend's experience, he held the sword and sat upright opposite his brother Lucius. The two brothers did not say a word and drove all their entourages and officials out of the tent.

"Brother you should know. From the time you crossed the sea to accept the orders of the high priest, this was an absolute political conspiracy, a frame-up against my friends and the commander."

"So what? Sura and Mallor began to open the vortex of war, and then to Caesar and Pompey, to Libida and Brutu, the Roman Republic has been like this forty years. There are only one ten ancient and noble families left, and the Octavian family where your friend is is no exception. Now it has completely perished, and it will be annexed by the Phillips family. And my only pursuit now is that our family will not become extinct." Lucius said, paused and sighed, "I was also a pursuing communist before.

And the people of philosophy, until the end of the war in Afiriga, I was also a military guardian in Pompeii's army, fighting until wounded and captured. But now there is no more. The ideas have long been turned into empty shells, and those who are willing to protect it, and those who are guarding it have fallen into the soil. Even if I don't care, I cannot tolerate the name of my family no longer exists. Agripa, my dear brother, will your friend not take the path of a king after taking over the power of the state? No need to deceive yourself anymore."

After saying that, Lucius pointed at Agripa, "I don't want to convince you now, but if you must understand that if you continue to follow Turinus, there will be only one fate, that is, to be exiled to a farther desert island and to implicate the family. Agripa, as my brother, I have already caused the family to suffer such danger once. I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes. If you are stubborn, it's very simple. Just hold the hilt of your sword in your hand, either commit suicide or fight with me-

—I must be open and honest now, that is, the seven legions here are the army of the Republic. When the former commander Turinus was exiled for sin, the command should naturally belong to the high priest. Now when the high priest is not present, it belongs to your hands - if you don't want to take over, then exile yourself or commit suicide, and transfer the command to me, but if Agripa dares to incite the legion to rebel, then waiting for you will be a severe punishment that will never be restored. Even if you die, you cannot be buried in the family cemetery."

After hearing this, Agripa lowered his head in anxiety and hesitation, held his sword and poked the carpet one by one, and fell into contradiction and confusion in family affection, justice and responsibilities.

At this time, the situation did not allow him to think too much. A messenger told him the news that the front-line scout had found: several legions of Brutu came out in the winter camp of Athens and rushed towards the Apsus River.

"The decision is in your hands now. Should I protect Epirus and use the legions at your hands to protect this city, this river and this country, or are I busy with internal strife that ruins reputation?" Over there, Lucius, who heard the news, began to be aggressive and asked his younger brother to give a clear position.

When Agripa frowned and sweat oozed out of the palm of his hand holding the sword, another exit in the tent, another commander wearing feathers walked in, holding a board with a command engraved in his hand, saying that he came from Rome City urgently, "Please read it, because outsiders are present." Agripa looked at his brother with dissatisfaction and resentment.

"The High Priest authorizes the Senate to give His Excellency the power to succeed the Governor of Illyria, and the position of acting legal officer, President Epirus and the military power of the seven legions of the Illyria region, to resist the invasion of Brutu and the Kasio party members before the coming spring."

After the announcement, the messenger held up the authorized board with his hands and stood still, because Agripa was his boss, and he did not dare to hand over the seal and documents of his appointment directly, but waited respectfully for Agripa to pick it up by himself.

But Agripa stayed in the seat in distress, neither getting up nor leaving nor sitting.

At this time, Lucius directly took over the letter of appointment from the commander, and he stood in front of Agripa, "Take it!"

The other party was still silent. He looked up at his brother, then lowered his head. Finally, Lucius couldn't help it, "Agripa, you answer me now, what is your dream since childhood!"

But the other party still did not answer, and Lucius asked and answered himself instead, "When you were a child, you came and went in front of me, and you talked about two dreams, architects, or mechanics. You said that you hope to reach the level of technicians under Crasso, and to transform the congested and messy Rome like the Greek cities, and to create many new lifting equipment. As for the current commander and governor, this is indeed not what you long for. Although you often exercised in stadiums and arenas, and honed martial arts and riding skills when you were young, I understand that you do not yearn for a military career in Agripa. Even if you don't have any works, I will be the first to admit that you will be the greatest architect in the world, provided that you will be alive in three days, not dead or exiled."

Then the brother took a deep breath and asked his brother, "You said, where do you think the most fundamental soul of an architect is?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
