Chapter 12 The Front of Advancement (Part 2)

The next day, the elite brigades of two Kassio legions gathered together set up their formations on the beach, and then rushed towards the narrow position one after another. The Skylark Legion and the Seventh Legion also linked the positions to each other. Because there were fewer, they lined up into a double array without reserves. At this time, Macmillan's large warships leaned against the shallow water on the shore, all anchored, and used the crossbows and bows and arrows on it to cover the rain of bullets, whistling from the heads of the soldiers on their own land, and smashed into the attacking Kassio army camp.

On the other side, the fleet left by Kasio also adjusted from last night's melee, forming a wedge formation and pounced on it. Macmillan let his light Librner warships run around and be responsible for harassing and blocking. The current battlefield situation is to stand between the coast, and some brigades of Libida's two legions rely on each other and fight hard, while Kasio's side continues to squeeze from the outside, trying to annihilate them.

As for the gains and losses of the city of Camillos, they were temporarily forgotten, and Kasio himself - he was under the acropolis, led three brigades and severely damaged fleets, staring blankly at the towering city walls and towers.

Someone persuaded him to take the cavalry and rush to the outside position under his escort, supervise and command the army to eliminate Li Bida's shore team.

"No, I don't go there, it's very good here. I'm waiting for Li Bi to come here." Kasio quietly stood in the shallow water of the harbor, looking at the messy water and land battlefield around him, and replied stubbornly.

When he said this, the high priest Libidaus was standing under the huge statue of Juno, holding the small mast. He watched the bow split the white waves on both sides. Behind him, the purple sails embroidered with the portrait of King Numa were constantly switching the windward direction. "When the wind, don't worry about him, the Cyrene sailors on the deck will solve all this with spinnades. All the oarsmen must not stop and use whips and marijuana to alert or numb them. I will arrive at the city of Camillos within today." The high priest said to Gabe so concisely, and then Gabe fired another flag-tongued. He warned the light fleet commanded by Aidangis, who followed closely.

The drum beats and the roar of the waves echoed rhythmically with each other. The oarsmen, locked by chains, were covered with blue veins on their arms, and the corners of their mouths and faces were covered with sea water, wine and sweat, but they could only sway the oar tirelessly.

In this way, even against the wind, the high priest's fleet could maintain the speed of the seven Romans in the daytime. In the evening, his flags appeared under the city of Camillos with the dense fleet covering the sea. In this way, the entire battle situation was decided, and the two legions of Kasio were thrown on the city's positions. They were killed and injured under the offensive in the daytime. At this time, when they saw the high priest's fleet and subsequent troops arrived, they all walked over and threw down their weapons and surrendered, and handed over the camp.

Kasio was like this, and he stayed there until he heard the noise and joy outside the city. He actually understood in his heart: although the two legions he belonged to were the combat power most relied on by the Republicans, in fact, when facing the choice of life and loyalty, most people would still choose the former. Ideas were once passionate in their speeches, but they had long lost their actual soil. It was not the crops under the feet of farmers, the work of craftsmen, nor the sharp blades and shields in the hands of soldiers, but it was just a banner with brighter faces.

Now the only remaining flag is about to fall. If Brutu could act early, don't spend the precious winter in the Epirus wilderness to compete with that Agripa - forget it, what's the point of talking about these now?

Kasio continued to stand in the water, took off all the cloak and armor on his body, threw it into the water, and then he drew his sword and said, "It's over. Since the flag has fallen, the flag bearer has no reason to survive. Brutu, Trenchia, no matter what you do, I will never face Li Bida's face. That's it. If I kill Caesar, I will not regret killing any traitors, let alone be afraid."

Then he turned the hilt of the sword, and the blade pointed to his mouth and said the last Greek verse:

“Death is the best relief in pain.”

After saying that, he drank the bronze blade and pierced directly through his mouth and to the back of his neck. Then he stood upright in the water with blood dripping for a few seconds, as if he wanted to continue standing hard to see Libidaus, but the effort failed in the end. He fell into the water, and the blood suddenly floated up in scattering.

Then, Kasio's body was sent to Li Bida who had got off the ship. After the high priest finished his inspection, he took the blue cloak on his body and covered it with his body. "Cremelted Kasio's body, put the ashes into a pottery jar, and sent it to his wife Trenchia in Rome. By the way, leave half of it and give it to Brutu of Athens."

Next, the Skylark Legion, the Seventh Legion, the Twelfth Legion, the Thirty-Three Legion, the Thirty-Fourth Legion, and the three Legion of Lufio arrived at Rhode Island with amazing efficiency and speed in the following days. The entire island became a large army camp. Given the heavy burden on the people here, Li Bida urgently summoned all the generals and arranged the next strategic action.

In fact, Rhode Island has changed hands again, and the situation has become very clear. What people are concerned about now is the topic of how the Republican Party will fall to its demise.

There were only three routes, one was to land in the Peloponnese in large numbers, cooperate with Leo's frontal team to attack Athens; the other was to join forces with the troops of the islands such as Rice Persia and Chios occupied by Sabo, and also attack Athens; the other was to go ashore to Xiaoya and destroy Urabella.

The high priest chose the last one, which seemed inevitable. The army called Brutu was blocked by the sea and islands, and had no use. In addition, it could also easily capture Xiaoya's area and absorb the rich cities there - because Urabella now has only one legion, so it would be good to protect himself, and was still fleeing towards the Silesian province, probably in an attempt to get closer to Parthian's army.

"We don't have to worry too much about time. Just send three or four legions to Ephesus as soon as possible. Anyway, the keys such as Rhodes Island are in our hands, and Brutu is trapped to the end. As for Urabella, after getting ashore, he can select cavalry to pursue him. He will naturally be defeated, and his military talents are not scared." The high priest said, and then he thought, "But this is Cicero's request. If you can keep Urabella's life, then stay." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
