"A legion outside the camp is feigning an attack. The legion inside the camp only needs to defend, but blood can still be seen if necessary. We are in a war now, so don't be stingy with human lives."
Animusfia commanded expressionlessly.
With the cooperation of his clone disguised as the legion commander, Animusfia easily seized the command of a legion stationed by Caesar at the port.
With Zhou Yu Lingji's blessing, Animusfia didn't need to worry about the loyalty of the soldiers at all.
As one of the top servants of the Military Advisor Department, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin could play a huge role in this situation.
Therefore, Animusfia did not even disrupt the original organization of the legion and directly collected all the legions in the camp.
They are even now being asked to carry out almost suicidal orders.
But only in this way can the fake be confused with the real.
Animusfia is really attacking this camp.
"Governor... Is this really good?"
Nero was a little bit intolerant. Although she would not hesitate to execute criminals or rebels——————
But even Nero could not give such an order to let soldiers who were already loyal to him kill each other.
"This is a necessary sacrifice for your victory."
"Hmm..."
Hearing Animusfia's response, although Nero was a little reluctant, he still nodded obediently.
The sergeants behind the two people were talking a lot.
"Now the real Ibrato is actually our Governor-General. His Majesty Nero will never refuse his proposal."
A battalion captain lowered his voice and whispered to his colleagues beside him.
"I'm afraid it won't be long before the Empire's Augustus will be replaced."
The other captain who was whispered responded.
"In this case, who should be treated like Augustus? Even the Senate has been banned. All power has been concentrated in the hands of His Majesty Nero and the Viceroy. Lord Seneca, who is nominally the Prime Minister, is also Nero. Your Majesty’s teacher will naturally not go against her.”
"But His Majesty Nero will not disobey the Governor at all...?"
"What do you think?"
The relationship between the master and his ministers has been completely reversed. After the miraculous appearance and speech, Animusfia's reputation in Italy reached its peak for a while.
Even the two legions currently present were only nominally loyal to Nero, but in fact, under the influence of Zhou Yulingji, they only obeyed the orders of Animusfia.
He looks very much like Wang Mang, who was almost hailed as a saint in the world before usurping the Han Dynasty.
Such ministers tend not to remain ministers for long.
Either he died unexpectedly or he was wearing a yellow robe.
For this reason, Zhou Yu was constantly suspected by Sun Quan after Sun Ce's death until he died of illness.
Although there is also the reason that Sun Quan himself was a suspicious king, it is also an important reason why Zhou Yu, who was famous after Sun Ce's death, could no longer be suppressed.
"But since it's the Governor and His Majesty, there shouldn't be any big problem."
said the captain who first spoke.
"oh?"
"Are you new here?"
"I used to be a centurion of the legion. Later I returned to my hometown to work on the farm. I was summoned by the Governor, and I just returned to the army a few days ago."
"Oh, then you probably don't know yet. The Governor and His Majesty Nero spend almost every night together and don't know what they are doing."
"Ah, that's it."
The confused captain showed an expression of sudden realization.
After contacting the two people who had been almost inseparable these past few days, he gradually began to understand everything.
If a man and a woman were alone in the same room every night, anyone could basically guess what happened.
They can't just do nothing and tell stories all night long, right?
"So the power can basically only be in the hands of the two of them. Although there is no statement, almost everyone in Rome does not know the relationship between the Governor and His Majesty Nero. I am afraid that His Majesty Nero will also be the next to Octavian. Augustus is the most stable."
"If it is their two children who succeed the throne in the future, then it will be stable."
It is difficult to imagine what kind of "monster" the new Augustus who will inherit the legacy of both parties will become.
The two captains, who had more than a thousand people under their command, actually shuddered when they thought of this.
That will be a human god who can truly do whatever he wants and walk on earth.
"Ahem————!"
Animusfia coughed twice, and the sergeants behind him fell silent.
"You should all lead your troops to organize an attack."
"As you command!"
Several captains took action with their own troops.
Although they thought they spoke very quietly, for Animusfia, who had become a Mimic Servant and whose physical functions had been greatly strengthened, the captains' conversations seemed as clear as if they were happening in his ears. Audible.
.......
Nero, who was favored by Rome, was probably the same.
Animusfia didn't even dare to turn her head to face Nero now. This willful flower of Rome probably wouldn't blush because of a few rumors.
On the contrary, it is more likely that he will enthusiastically fulfill the rumors with him.
.......
"Governor!"
The excited call from Nero really came.
"His Majesty----"
Animusfia decided to preemptively distract Nero before he said something he couldn't handle.
"...Hmm? What's wrong, Governor?"
"We can go back to Rome first. The ship that Lord Seneca supervised should be finished."
"Now? But the battle hasn't been decided yet? Aren't Yu and Ru important fighting forces? Is there really no problem in just leaving like this?"
Nero pointed to the ships that had loomed on the horizon in the distance.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The purpose of the other party's trip must be to pick up the soldiers staying here, so there won't be too many enemy troops on the ship. Besides, the other 'I' is still sitting in the camp, and the general plan is not There will be deviations.”
"Is it possible that you want Yu's army to board the enemy's ship, and then let the enemy help Yu send the army to Gaul?"
"No, Your Majesty. We want to think more broadly. As long as your legions board the ship, then the ship is yours. Now is not the time to directly land in Gaul to avoid being too reckless. We just Just get those ships back to Rome."
"That's right! I finally understand! You are such a genius, Governor!"
Nero's doubts were finally answered.
But if it weren't for changing the subject, Animusfiya would actually want to hide it from her for a while longer.
Animusfia would not say anything about the fact that he could feel pleasure just by looking at the confused expression on the cute emperor's face.
"It's just a simple plan, Your Majesty. Anyone should be able to think of this plan."
"Don't be so humble, Governor. You are now the key to Rome and I rely on, so be as proud as you want."
Animusfia nodded and continued:
"Then I'll do that, Your Majesty. But now we still need to send someone to contact General Boudica on the front line. It's time for her to start preparing for a counterattack. Then she can take care of each other with our legion here attacking from sea and land. ”
"Hmm, I'll send a messenger to deliver the news right now."
"Then let's go back to Rome first, Your Majesty."
Animusfia said respectfully.
"Hmm!"
Nero nodded, turned over and sat on his horse.
"Speaking of Governor, Yu and your——————"
"Your Majesty, do you want to know what kind of ship I sent Lord Seneca to build?"
Animusfia once again deliberately changed the direction of the conversation.
However, this cannot change the fact that he has almost become her possession in Nero's heart.
Who made him her "Servus"?
***************
"Your Majesty Augustus, the enemy began to withdraw after seeing our fleet."
After hearing the report from the soldiers around him, Octavian nodded.
This was a wise choice. By his visual inspection alone, Octavian discovered that the number of enemy soldiers besieging the camp was not much greater than the number of legionnaires in the camp.
Not to mention that his 'reinforcements' are about to arrive now.
But in fact, Octavian did not bring many troops this time.
After all, he still had to take the soldiers who stayed in Italy back to Gaul.
Moreover, the strength of the [United Empire] is not unlimited. It is already very difficult for Octavian and Caesar to withdraw three legions from the stalemate front line under the Alps.
Caesar was dead, and there was no point in leaving this legion to fight alone on Roman soil.
The best choice is to withdraw the troops now and return to Gaul before making long-term plans.
"Inform all the ships to lower the drawbridge and let the soldiers in the camp board the ship. We will return after they board the ship."
"yes!"
Tens of minutes later, basically all the soldiers still in the camp boarded Octavian's fleet.
"Are you the commander of this legion? What is your name?"
Octavian squinted at "Tiberius" who was clearly dressed in front of him.
"My name is Tiberius, Your Majesty Augustus."
"Um."
Octavian nodded. He had heard Tiberius' name mentioned by Caesar before.
"Well done. You owe a lot to the survival of this legion. Go down first, and I will reward you well later."
Under the undulations of the waves and the blowing of the sea breeze, even Augustus' huge flagship was not immune and began to shake.
The soldiers around Octavian couldn't help but staggered.
However, Octavian, who had experienced many battles, seemed to be standing on flat ground, motionless.
After all, his greatest achievement during his lifetime was to defeat the coalition of Cleopatra and Antony in the Mediterranean, successfully establishing his hegemony in Rome, and forcing the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty to commit suicide.
Octavian, who appears as a Rider, even has the skills of riding.
Although it is called riding, it is also effective on vehicles such as ships and chariots.
But what surprised Octavian was that the legion commander "Tiberius" in front of him was as stable as if he had taken root on the deck.
"Um?"
"Tiberius" slowly raised his head and showed a strange smile to Octavian.
"Then I am very grateful to you, Lord Octavian."
Octavian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the next moment, lightning enveloped the top deck of the giant flagship.
As if it had been rehearsed in advance, half of the ships in Octavian's fleet began to turn around under the electric light.
