Chapter 135 Desire

But today is different. Although Caesar and Pompeii are legendary friends, their personalities are completely different. Caesar's name is formidable in the hearts of these nobles. 14 years ago, the Macedonians attacked the city-state of Saguenay.

King Lissus of the city-state of Saguenay asked the Roman Senate for help. The Senate agreed to Lissus' request and ordered Caesar to rescue the city-state of Saguenay.

Caesar led 12,000 soldiers across the Adriatic Sea to rescue the city-state of Saguenay. In the Dalmatia region east of Saguenay, Caesar defeated the Macedonian Heavy Infantry Corps led by Patel and captured more than 6,000 Macedonians.

Infantry. In order to solve the problem of insufficient food supply for their own regiments

.Not only did he order the massacre of all prisoners of war to save food, he also looted the Macedonian villages and towns he passed on his way south to replenish military supplies. The executioner's notoriety soon spread throughout Macedonia and the Greek Peninsula. At the same time,

It also spread back to Rome, where people gave him the nickname The Punisher.

After that war, in recognition of his military exploits, Rome appointed him governor of Aremiron. The most governor-general, he was harsh and almost cruel. His ruthlessness made everyone shudder. He once refused to listen.

He ordered the Alemilon nobles to be hung in the city square and whipped in public. He sent the rioting slaves to the training ground to be eaten as food for the beasts. His cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone knows it. But his incomparable loyalty to Rome is unquestionable. His leadership and management talents are also outstanding. Aremilion has always been the most stable region in the entire Roman Republic, with extremely low crime rates and abundant tax revenue.

This is all due to Caesar's excellent management. The arrival of the butcher today made these people who were used to Pompeii's friendly smiles seem a little restless.

Caesar strode behind the big walnut table, rested his upper hands on the table, and glanced around at all the noble merchants attending the meeting. Wherever his sword-like eyes went, there were responses of humility and awe. People all responded with humility and awe.

He lowered his head slightly, not daring to say anything.

Caesar touched his dark chestnut curly short hair that was messy by the sea breeze, and then issued his order word by word.

"Those of you who have blacksmith shops, from now on, you must stop forging iron pots, water jugs, iron doors, hammerheads and other iron objects." He announced: "Only you are allowed to produce short swords, daggers, spears, javelin heads, and shields.

, iron helmets and various armors. The products you produce will be purchased by the government as a representative of the government.

I, the manager and temporary consul of the Julius family territory, will pay for every item. All contractors who have signed contracts with the government to build military facilities must step up their construction from now on and complete the work by next spring.

.And these buildings must be attacked violently. And all shipping merchants and overseas

People with trade contacts should focus on the preparation of military supplies. Don't waste precious time on unimportant transactions such as spices, purple dyes, cloth, and furniture. Any merchant ship carrying non-military supplies will be

was confiscated and expelled from Port Aletion. In addition, all the people in the city who were not recruited were

All male citizens aged seventeen to thirty who go to battle will be incorporated into the city defense team and receive formal military education. From tomorrow on, my chief centurion, Metellius, will be in the city grounds.

Train these people." His eyes passed over the faces of these three hundred people one by one, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Obviously! These instructions were very clear, so they all exited the conference hall without any objections or complaints.

One early morning a month later, Betik led the garrison of Patavian City to stand ready at the top of the city. Not far from their feet, the Roman legion led by Cartony had already formed a battle formation.

The snow continued to fall, and the Roman army in front of Betic was filled with murderous intent and was ready to attack. He couldn't understand why this time Rome violated the tradition they had followed for countless years and declared a truce in what was supposed to be a truce.

Winter suddenly came to him. He had not recovered from the setback two months ago. Another Roman attack was imminent.

, and this time it may be fatal. He constantly patrolled the city, inspecting the implementation of city defense. He encouraged these soldiers who had just suffered a defeat and restored their self-confidence. Women also joined the city defense team. See

They seemed weak and stood in the cold wind with weapons in hand. This reminded him of his daughter. In the battle two months ago, father and daughter went into battle at the same time.

During the battle, his daughter lost news. This made Betic extremely sad. This was his last living child. His four sons all sacrificed their lives heroically in the long-term confrontation with the Roman army. Now his only woman has also been lost.

News. "Maybe she also died in the battlefield," Betik thought. His wife had also left him due to illness, and he was fighting alone.

At this last moment, the thought that he might die in battle flashed through his mind, but he still had a certain degree of confidence in the defense of Patavian City. After all, the number of Roman troops in front of him did not exceed what he accepted.

To the extreme, he had faced Roman legions several times his size. The people asking for help had set off for Mediolanum two days ago, hoping that he could bring back reinforcements.

With Antony commanding the battle, Feravis felt much more relaxed. He and his guards were observing the movements of the battlefield on a small slope behind the army. Although Antony was a bit arrogant, his command was impeccable. He had superb military talents.

, allowing him to deploy so many troops in an orderly manner. Caesar had a faint smile on his lips, waiting for the moment of attack to come.

Yang Rui beside him asked Caesar with a smile: "Do you know what people want to pursue most in this life?"

Caesar asked: "Tell me, my friend!"

Yang Rui said: "It's love. Only by pursuing love can people live a wonderful life."

Caesar quite agreed with this view. He said: "Now, am I pursuing my passion?"

Yang Rui said: "The Greek Peninsula is much richer than the cold Gaul. You can live with more wealth. With these, you can realize your dreams."

Yang Rui asked again: "Tell me, what do you want to do most?"

Caesar was silent. He did not answer, but the answer was written on his face. Yang Rui knew it. He knew in his heart that his bewitchment had taken another step.

Antony quickly ran back and forth between the first and second columns of the legion to make sure that all the groups were in place. When he returned to his guard, in the distance, towards Felawes

There was a sharp attack horn, which made Anthony's whole body

There was a sudden shock. Blood flowed rapidly to every corner of his body. His resolute, angular face was instantly dyed red. He raised the dagger above his head and shouted: "Attack!" (To be continued)
