Augustus Road

"There is no need to go into details about the advantages of the legion, but it does not have the courage and enthusiasm of the civilian army. The Masi people can bravely attack our large troops in the mountains and jungles with half a hundred men. This is impossible in the eyes of the legion." Imagine - without sufficient supplies, without a full team, without the promise of arbitrary plunder, these soldiers simply did not dare and were unwilling to fight. While they were proficient in established tactics, they also became stupid and stuck in routines. "

"In the past, the soldiers of the legions were free, brave, and noble citizens. Now, anyone can sneak in. Soldiers, debtors, traders, and slaves are among them. Marius once liberated all his personal Slaves, a separate detachment was established. I am worried about the degradation and degeneration of the Roman army."

"May the god Jupiter bless the Republic, and may the prophecy of the witch Sibyl fail. The war machine of the Legion becomes less and less like it belongs to the country, and more like it owns the country. I am afraid that any careerist, If it is stirred up in any name, the city of Rome will fall into disgrace and ruin."

In addition, there is also the "History of the Iberian War", in which Luculas, as a bystander, narrates the story of the general of the Marian party, Milu's former superior, "One-eyed Dragon" Seth Uris, in Spain. The journey of fighting against Sulla's army with a small force. In the book, Luculas severely satirized the Sulamfang general Metra Pius (from the prominent Metra family, Luculas's maternal family), saying that he was famous for nothing, but in Spain When Shandi was fighting the Cyclops, he actually had his subordinates line up in a dense battle formation. His clumsiness made his opponent Cyclops laugh at him. Of course, this person also ridiculed Pompey, who later entered Spain, and said how embarrassed he was when he faced the Cyclops in Spain. However, he was full of praise for the Cyclops' tactics and talked about how the Cyclops faced the Roman heavy army. Encirclement and suppression, using flexible and changeable tactics, and what superb methods were used to win the allegiance of the Spanish barbarians, etc.

In the book, Luculas kept complaining, narrating, stimulating, and worrying. Calabis kept copying at the desk. In fact, he copied two copies - and one copy, by He collects it himself.

When he turned to the last chapter of the book, his breathing became rapid. Luculas was actually there, using many pieces of vellum to draw the Roman legion's code and formations in detail!

Damn it, this is something like a military secret, and Luculas is brave enough. These contents cover everything from recruit training to navigation operations, from basic formations to complex formations, all of which are transcribed on it. Calabis's hand trembled slightly, and the pen in his hand sped up. He copied all these things on several other pieces of vellum. He didn't care whether he could understand it or not. In short, he just had to copy it down first: I learned boxing and sword fighting, and what I’m learning now is fighting formation. Tyrannion can teach me the fighting fist, and Tagus can teach me the sword fighting. As for the knowledge of fighting formation, I really don’t know if I can use it in the future, but once I want to use this thing, only I can teach it. Only by yourself can you survive on the treacherous and ever-changing battlefield.

As a result, there were still two pieces left to finish, and the lead was gone. Calabis rubbed his tired eyes and decided to copy them tomorrow. It was almost dusk, and he had to count the sacred objects in the holy library first. After registering, he put the books into different categories and put them on the bottom of the bookcase, and then he was ready to do his job with the lamp in hand. At this time, Zeno put on his large coat and hurriedly walked out. After a while, the mysterious man in black and the accompanying strong man slowly walked out.

Luculas had warned himself that in the Holy Library, he should charge more and ask less questions. Calabis, who remembered this in his mind, held up a light and respectfully avoided the other party's path. After watching the other party disappear, he went one by one. Check, clean and lock the Holy Curry's room.

While he was busy, he suddenly heard a slight cough. When he looked back, he was surprised to see Li Xilia, dressed in virginal white clothes on the verandah, holding a flickering candle, standing behind him. It was her just now. Coughing to draw his attention.

Li Xilia is in her forties, but it seems that her long-term abstinence and elegant life has caused the years to leave no heavy traces on her body. She has a graceful and graceful appearance, and her black hair is neatly combed behind her slender neck. On the contrary, it has the dual charm of a girl and a mature woman.

"Salute like the chief priest of the Kitchen God." Calabis was obviously a little panicked. Was his behavior in the Temple of the Kitchen God noticed by the priestess, but he didn't show it on the surface and remained calm. Salute each other.

"Calabis, I actually know everything you did in the Temple of Vesta." Li Xilia didn't have much expression on her face.

At this time, Karabis was frozen in place, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry. When Tuna Luculas recommended you to come, it means that this lucrative job is yours. What you get is what you deserve - I just want to ask if there are any virgins from my temple here. Have you ever had a female prostitute come in?”

"Well... you should know that all the men and women who come here are covered with cloaks and veils. I don't think there should be any virgins coming in openly, right?" Calabis cleverly let his The answer was ambiguous.

"Well, I'm just asking. You have to know that the chastity of the virgins in the Temple of Vesta is related to the safety of the entire republic. I don't want to encounter the shame of virgins being buried alive when I am in charge of the priesthood." Li Xilia explained, and then whispered: "There is another thing that you need to pay special attention to. There is a treasure in the Holy Treasury that you must take special care of. That is the "Sybil Prophecy Book". This book is related to the Senate's control over the country's destiny. Now there are only six volumes left in the Temple of Vesta."

Carabis answered yes repeatedly. Li Xilia handed him the candle in her hand with satisfaction and said, "You are working here. If there is any situation, you must inform me in time. Now, you hold the lamp and lead the way in front."

At home, the little pigeon Paluma played ball and hide-and-seek with Valentina for a long time during the day and fell asleep. Boti placed her hands on the stove, her black wavy hair swaying with the impact of Carabis on her buttocks. "Gently, oh, gently, Carabis..." Her body trembled and shook, and she hurriedly closed the kitchen shutters with her hands, but Carabis didn't give her this opportunity at all. He pushed her to the shutters and used his naked feet to separate the woman's equally naked legs. Then he used the "fighting sword" trick to stab back and forth. The cold moonlight sprinkled by the winter day condensed on Boti's constantly twitching back, making her arched, deep and narrow back line unusually sexy. With a heavy snort, her hands grasped the shutter window frame more and more tightly. Carabis also felt that the "scabbard" of the fighting sword was gradually tightening rhythmically due to the stimulation of extreme bliss, and the "fighting sword" was getting more and more cramped due to the clamping.
