Chapter 22 The Grand Triumph (Part 2)
Li Bida also laughed, shook his head and said that what he said just now was just a joke. In fact, I want to verify the myth of your family.
"Myth?" said Caesarnahan.
"Yes, myth. From the fall of Troy, to the escape of Aeneas, to his legendary exile experience, to how he went to the Apennines to reproduce. So I not only want to go to Asia Minor, but also to take biographers, poets and naturalists to explore the true connection between your family and God, and make it an epic of the entire Roman empire and nation. You must understand that ordinary people like this thing the most. They will automatically ignite the inner pride and regard you and your family as the blood of the entire country, and your glory will be theirs forever. So my plan is not to waste these four months. I will invite all the relevant outstanding talents in the Villa Pulaima; and then when the expedition is on my boat, I will first go to Libida Castle, and use it as a base to start digging and rebuilding the legendary Troy land."
Caesar stroked his hair back excitedly and said to Li Bida, "It's great, you are the title of the capital's official. In fact, I will allocate you three hundred Talent's holy kuo to do this. The money is not obtained from the national kuo. Don't worry about the views of the elders and civil servants. They are paid directly from my holy kuo. I gave the keys to my father-in-law Bisuo to manage. Just find him and select relevant personnel as soon as possible."
After saying that, Caesar held up his excitement, and he said to Libida with a serious expression, "If I come in the future, it is very likely that I will encounter any unexpected accidents in the square of Rome before going to war, you must pull Anthony and Turinus to protect my family, heritage and country! If Brutu and Casio have been loyal to me since then, it would be best. Joining them is really rebellious. We must have a counter-card - Libidaus. I will hand the card to your hands now. You have to endure rather than truly retirement in these four months. Do you understand?" After saying that, Caesar handed the sealed plate to Libida. "Inside is my seal, and my secret text. Only you and I and Ijiurus can understand, but I can tell you clearly now." Next, Caesar said in a mysterious tone, "City of Alexander. I have left three legions."
In fact, Li Bida had already obtained this information from the young queen, but he still chose to listen silently. Caesar continued, "In fact, it was adapted from Pompeius's remaining troops, especially Macedonia and Crete, the 31st and 32nd Legions, and later formed a Forty Legion, and the supervision of the legion was handed over to the hands of Lufio, whom I trust most. He is the son of my personal slave, and his loyalty to me is completely at ease - I thought, if things change, Anthony is responsible for Italian affairs, and you go to the East and gather people to pacify those who dare to rebel against me. In this document, I will grant you completely unrestricted power."
Li Bida thought about it and took over the document. He handed it over to Mathia beside him very carefully.
After saying that, the two walked out of the Temple of Jupiter. At this moment, on the altar and square in front of the temple, twenty elephants were covered with gorgeous blankets and gold jewelry. The elephant master sat on it, and the fire was burning on the tower, illuminating the entire mountain like daytime. Caesar and Li Bida walked down the Capitola Mountain with the group of elephants, receiving the cheers and support of the people.
In the early morning, several Folamen priests of the temple quietly introduced uninvited guests at the side door. He wore pure white robe and walked into the narrow backyard where the sculptures were placed. Then under the night and moonlight, he saw the sculptures of his ancestors, standing side by side with Julius, and leaning closely. Then Brutu walked around the back and saw that the two statues had been quietly engraved with words by a priest.
On the base of the statue of Old Brutu, there is a line of words, ", because he expelled the king, he became the first consul of the Republic." Then Brutu turned to the base of the statue of Caesar, which is also a line of words, ", because he expelled and killed the consul, he will become the king again."
Then, Brutu stood alone, speechless for a long time.
As a result, Caesar's hospitality for the city of Rome did not end the next day. All the soldiers of the legion gathered in the colonial field or the racing field, constantly receiving the money given to them by the dictator. In the end, almost every ordinary soldier received the reward of 5,000 Seth, twice the reward of the centurion, while the military civil servants and chief centurion were five times the reward of the military guards and the chief centurion. As for the deputy general and Caesar's personal staff, they obtained more. Caesar would sell all 2,000 pure gold vessels and crowns in various wars, fulfilling his prior reward promise to the army. In addition, Caesar also shook hands with several legions, the Eighth Legion, the Ninth Legion and the Eleventh Legion, and the Eleventh Legion, and the Extraordinary Legion, and the money was also distributed to the veterans, so the group of people swore all their loyalty to Caesar and dedicated their youth to their descendants.
Each of the citizens also received a gift of Greek gold coins, and there were also a large number of competitive competitions to watch. On the Colosseum of Neruda, Caesar, wearing purple boots, and many veteran staff members announced the beginning of the Great Sword Competition in amidst the endless cheers!
The iron gate of the Colosseum rose up, and a thousand gladiators with helmets and upper bodies, from Gaul, from Spain, from Thrace, and from Asia Minor, walked out of the four gates and divided into two sides on the sand field. Several slaves quickly ran into the center of the field and handed the real military flag to their leaders. One of them was from the Roman legion and the other was the captured Mitra flag of the bronze shield army. As a result, before the slaves left, Caesar raised his thumbs up, and the emcee around him immediately announced the start. The gladiators howled, waved iron nets, harpoons, spears, and short swords, and scrambled each other. The slaves who could not dodge were killed by the flying hammers and darts at the first time. They screamed and fell down, and were trampled to pieces by countless steps.
This "unexpected surprise" immediately made the audience's mood reach its peak. Caesar also laughed and sat down. The bloody fighting and killing lasted for three days. There were more and more dead bodies and dying sword slaves lying on the sand. The entire sand field had turned into dark red, like a huge Persian carpet. The audience's voice was hoarse. At this time, in order not to be disheartened, Caesar sent a second signal. Before the sword slaves who had been fighting in the infantry retreated, they roared out two hundred fully armed cavalry from the iron gate. (To be continued)
