After saying these words, Libida turned around and looked silently at the statue of Patina standing in the municipal hall. She was not like the Athena of Delos, nor as consistent with the Greek and Roman aesthetics as Venus of Cyprus. It is a stout, ugly, one-eyed statue of a woman. According to legend, this is the daughter of a Cyclops, and now she is also respected by cities such as Sarona. Looking at her huge eyes quietly, Libida silently said in her heart: "I hope Caesar can gain a foothold on the southern coast and also reduce the pressure here."

At this moment, in the interior and suburbs of the entire city, violent winds blew again. It seemed that after a brief rest, the ocean would stir up storm with the endless energy of the Sea God's Trident - that is, Anthony's follow-up troops in Brindisi, and his own main legion in Ravenna will not come to reinforce for a short period of time, and everything will depend on the troops at hand now.

Fortunately, Caesar won the gambling again. He let everyone advance in a difficult situation, ignoring any attack from Pompeii's army, and approached the city of Apollonia. At that time, Bibruce, Lipo and Maximus, two deputys, happened to take the fleet to search for his transport fleet. So Caesar did not use force, but only sent a letter to the garrison officer Stable and the city's Presbyterian Church at the same time. In the name of "the civil guardians and the people of all Rome, the legally elected consul and Dick Tyduo", he asked them to "help" themselves as soon as possible and make the city his stopping point.

The responses in the city were very different. Starbary was a member of Pompei's party. He immediately transported water, food and bricks to the Acropolis, and began to send the guards to search for the nobles in the city as hostages. However, the Apollonian Presbyterian Church collectively decided to welcome Caesar. "When there was an internal struggle in the city of Rome, what else can we do? Of course, it depends on who occupied the right to issue political orders. Last year, this power was undoubtedly in the hands of Pompei, but now the city of Rome is in the hands of Caesar. Then let's listen to Caesar." In this way, the citizens spontaneously formed an armed force. Instead, they surrounded the Acropolis and refused to fight with Stabley. Seeing that the situation was over, the officer fled quickly with the guards. Then the Presbyterian Church left the city and handed the key to Caesar, expressing his obedience.

After Apollonia surrendered, the towns and towns around Billis and Omantiya also became loyal to the capital. Finally, the port of Dikhaqiang in the north also expelled Pompei's garrison officers and expressed their conquest to Caesar's side.

The three legions led by Gabinus were preparing to rescue the surrounding cities along the avenue. Seeing this, they had to retreat to Delphi and prepare for the winter camp, and compete with Caesar again in the coming year. As for Bibruce's fleet, they retreated back to Cocula in shame, and then repaired again to find the opportunity to intercept the sea. According to Bibruce's words, "The sea surface is still ours!" After replenishing dry firewood, fresh water and food, Bibruce decisively came from Cocula City (because this one).

The city had the most complete docks and warehouses) sailed. Nearly a hundred ships joined him on Corfu. Then, at a distance of forty Rome, they successfully intercepted Caesar's fleet - about thirty ships, most of which were temporarily requisitioned punts, with no combat ships escorting, so Bibruce's fleet was like a giant shark breaking into a sardines. Without much effort, they sank five of them and captured all the other ships.

"See if there are any armed soldiers and horses on the deck and cabin!" Bibruce on the bridge asked in a hoarse tone, because his body had not healed yet.

After a while, the thirty ships were all empty. After sending Caesar's army to land, they were quietly returning to Port Brindisi.

"This means that Caesar only transported half of the troops and a considerable number of people, waiting for the fleet to return in Brindisi - or in other words, as long as I kill these crew members, Caesar will never have any tricks. He can only sit and wait for death on the shore!" Bibruce thought of this, laughed and screamed like a demon, then coughed heavily, almost pleating blood. His lungs were like a sieve, which was what his health doctor said, "Kill them all and sacrifice to the sea god."

Then the massacre began. The ship owner and Caesar's officials were specially selected, and were decapitated bloodily on the deck, their hands and feet were cut off, or they were hooked into the anus and pulled out the intestines to kill them. The body was thrown into the sea. Then, probably Bibruce was also bored, so he ordered the rest of the crew to be locked into the bottom cabins of several ships, fired rockets at the ships, threw the torches, and burned everyone and all the ships to ashes.

"I plan a new cruise route to prevent similar mistakes." Bibruce lay on the bridge and told the token officer, "One-third of the ships were set up between Sasong and Currycomb to guard against the enemy landing further south; one-third were led by Maximus, Vispilo and Mirokius to conduct arc movements between Corfu and Olicomb. Even though Caesar seized several harbor cities, we still had the strength to block them. The last third, led by Lipo and I, was cruising on the sea and preparing to raid Brindisi."

In this way, under the attack of Bibruce, Caesar lost all his mobile fleet, but now he did not care about so much. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Pompey's main army retreating to Delphi, he was determined to contact Li Bida's branch army as soon as possible, and sent sternly worded letters to Anthony, Urabella and Tlureas, who were still in Brindisi, asking them to cross the sea with soldiers at all costs, under the conditions of climate permission, "no matter what kind of crossing the sea is used, even if it is swimming."

Then, in the bad weather, Caesar personally selected 4,000 soldiers, including 500 cavalrymen, and groped to approach Olicombe.

At this time, Rilias' attack on Sarona had begun. According to Machius' proposal, he did build five siege towers, but made fine adjustments in the position - three were used to siege Latin Mountain, two were facing the Sarona wall, and there were three infantry brigades in the middle to isolate the connection between the two, and continue to use the "Samontoga" and the stone thrower to destroy the half wall, so that Li Bida had the chance to repair it.

In addition, about 2,000 more than 2,000 Librna barbarians dragged their boats into the caves by the sea to hide, and they also went ashore, threatening the Latin Mountain behind them. In this way, the elite Li Bida tribes on the mountain were besieged. (To be continued)
