Chapter 4 The Destitute General (Part 2)

"You don't need to be a centurion, just serve as the chief lieutenant in Lepidus' restoration legion. Of course, this legion is irregular, and I'm afraid you are the only lieutenant." Caesar said, pointing to the one beside him. Calabis." Now it was Petheneus's turn to open his mouth so wide that he could hardly close it.

"Welcome, my old superior, you read that right, the plan for the expedition to Egypt is about to be approved. How about you, are you willing to join us and become a strong member?" Lepidus next to Caesar smiled and looked at Pat Neuus stretched out his hand, "I learned all about your family situation yesterday, so I sent you three hundred thousand sesstus to show your appreciation, so that your salary for going to Egypt - in one year, is ten thousand. Vandrachma silver coin, you have one-fifth of the spoils at your disposal.”

Petheneus immediately calmed down. When he heard the price, he immediately gave up his request to seek a military position in the province of Gaul. What would be the benefit of that? He was fully aware of the wealth of Egypt, so he immediately He aimed his front at Lepidus respectfully. Apparently he had realized that this man in Caesar's army was by no means as simple as the leader of the guards. "Dear Sir Calabis, please allow me to temporarily turn my loyalty to the Republic into Courage to serve under your banner!”

"There is no need to call this name. Calabis's current identity is my lieutenant general, Illyrian treasurer, and commander of the Twelve Legions." Caesar said with a smile.

Then Lepidus asked, since my source of troops has been determined and the expedition plan has been approved. Ptolemy XII and his daughter are under my "careful protection". Can I apply for the provincial government's recruitment funds? Did you go to Alpine Gaul and Rome to recruit the Thirteenth Legion? After the recruitment is completed, I will send the legion to the camp in Milan, and you will assign suitable candidates after the winter camp in Besancon.

"Why do you say that? The Thirteenth Legion, wasn't it funded by Lepidus?" Lepidus was stunned by Caesar's words, but the explanation below made Lepidus suddenly realize that this bald man was simply a "white wolf with empty gloves." The master is equally ruthless to any attack:

Because I, Caesar, have now spent all the spoils captured in the previous war against the Serves, worth a total of 200 million sesterces - you know, just for one of my political enemies in Rome (former),* *Pinzel changed his position in the civil lawsuit and supported me, so I paid off his debt of 40 million sesterces. Caesar's spending was extremely crazy, so crazy that he never considered the consequences.

Therefore, Caesar's current plan is to recruit only one Fourteenth Legion in the Po River Basin. As for the Thirteenth Legion, he will only give the number to Lepidus and promise that this legion will also fall under Lepidus' command, but now he has no spare money. To turn the number into a physical entity, Caesar's plan is that Lepidus will immediately take a mercenary group composed of three religions and nine streams to fight Alexandria in Egypt. After success, Lepidus will take this experienced mercenary with him. The regiment came back and was upgraded to the "Thirteenth Illyrian Legion".

"I have designed the totem logo of this auxiliary legion for you. It is an African lion. It is very appropriate, because it is said that the palace of Pharaoh Alexandria was full of such animals." Caesar is such a warm person. Nuan's thoughtful gesture made Lepidus so excited that his face twisted. After he bowed to the governor indifferently, he said that I would leave Russell Village immediately and start related matters. After saying this, he and Petnaeus Leave together.

I cursed fiercely in my heart: This shameless bald man!

When the two of them walked to the courtyard, there was suddenly a noise again at the door. The two of them fiercely pushed away the slaves who were blocking them, walked in with their heads held high, and faced the Spanish sword who was holding the hilt and stepping forward. The soldier said, "Please send a message to your Excellency, the Governor, and tell him that Cassius and Quintus of Apollonia are here to standby!"

Just when the scene was filled with a serious feeling, a woman with light yellow hair wearing a strange pattern behind Kaxiyo loudly and grandly pushed away the crowd. Behind him were two children, and a woman with thick black hair. shouted: "May I ask Lepidus, commander of the Twelve Legions of Thyme, whether he is here or in Besançon?"

This voice made Lepidus, who was still angry just now, tremble all over. He stepped forward hurriedly and pushed away the swordsman guards. As a result, Yulia's stubborn amber eyes touched him. In the quiet courtyard, behind her, waves Ti bent over, patted little Leo and Corinna's backs gently, and motioned them to go and hug his father. His eyes and cheeks were already filled with tears. Among the people whispering outside, the little pigeon He was struggling to raise his head, trying to see if his adoptive father was okay.

Lepidus, who held his children closely, felt that the autumn sun over Russell Village was very delicate and warm.

"It was my negligence. I didn't expect that the ordering soldier was killed on the way. It's really hard for me to imagine what kind of suffering you have been through these days."

Before Potty could say anything, Yulia combed the ends of her hair and said, "It's not a torment. I have arranged the team on the road well. Your two children and mine are also obedient. In addition, I also got these two General's escort."

At this time, Lepidus put down his children, bowed and hugged Cassiyo cordially, introduced himself to each other, and continued to hold Quintus's hand, "You are a noble man, and you are not because of the conflict between me and your brother. And I feel resentful, and I vow to do my best to help your brother return to Rome this year."

Finally, Li Bi Da stood opposite Yulia and said, "I used to think that I was the assistant... But now, no matter what, I admire your courage and determination. Bodi and the children are all helped by you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am just here to deal with your property, and we will settle down in Milan this time." Yulia's tone was very calm, but with some pride, although it was also the kind of calm pride. Later, Bodi saw that her neck with light golden fluff was slightly flushed.

"Property, what property?" Li Bi Da asked curiously.

Julia looked around at this time, with a smug expression, and whispered to her husband, "I understand your letter, and I dare not rob Laconia, so I will sell the rest of my property in exchange for the lack of funds."

Hearing this, and thinking of Caesar's bastard's restraint just now, Lepidus put down his children and felt dizzy, and then a mouthful of blood rolled in his heart. Looking at Julia with a dull face, he shouted in his heart, "You are so cruel, you old woman who spends money..." (To be continued)
