Chapter 55 – The Ambitious Furius

After seeing Liang Meijuan and Lin Youxi off, Xia Yuan finally relaxed her previously tense mood. I’m not forcing Them. Tha is good!   “I now understand,” Crixus suddenly realized, slapping his thigh. “Spartacus, you mean to take the initiative and attack while the two enemy forces haven’t joined together. We’ll first eliminate the vanguard of 2,000 soldiers and then engage their main force in battle. It will be much easier to defeat them this way!” His parents got married at a young age, and now they were only in their late twenties, not much older than Mei Fang when he died.    

After reserving a computer at the computer store, the family of three went to the lottery shop together to confirm the exciting.       “That’s right!” Spartacus leaned forward, his eyes gleaming. “The Romans dare to divide their forces because they think they are safe on their own land. But when they approach us, they will inevitably regroup. So, we must not miss this opportunity to defeat them! My suggestion is to gather the five large teams early tomorrow morning, march north quickly along the Via Annia, and aim to catch the Romans’ vanguard and crush them.” Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels. com

Drawn to the unexpected sight, Yukino entered further into the room. Curious about their conversation, I stopped and looked toward them.  “Spartacus,” Artorix hesitated and asked, “If all 8,000 of us go north together, we won’t be able to hide from the enemy. What if they retreat into a fortified city? Remember, Capua is not far north of the enemy vanguard.” A sister being born and father being promoted, the twists and turns of life are truly unpredictable. Xiang Xiaoxia sighed helplessly.

When I sat down at the table, everyone had uncomfortable looks and didn’t move to sit. The reason was not explained within the game.    Spartacus had already considered this. His eyes sparkled with wisdom as he confidently replied, “Precisely because Capua is not far from the enemy’s vanguard, by the time we approach, they will likely have already passed Capua. But they probably won’t make it to the next town, Suessula, in time for their main force to join them. Last time, the Roman army didn’t stay in Capua, and they probably won’t this time either… They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs. That'd be quite a favor. 

Since the master bedroom was also closed off, I opened the windows. It had solid scenarios and was quite enjoyable even in light mode.  “In case the Roman vanguard doesn’t act as we expect and chooses to retreat upon learning of our approach, intending to join their main force, then we will continue north and seek a decisive battle with the entire Roman legion. In any case, we must not passively wait for the enemy to attack our camp before fighting them!” However, all of this was merely an illusion on the surface. Very few students in the class have seen the real Lin Youxi. So cute!    

Peng Xue cupped her chin and watched Mei Fang, who was having intimate interaction with Xia Yuan, making a funny face at Mei Fang.     “There’s nothing to fear about the Romans, I agree with Spartacus’s proposal!” Oenomaus responded enthusiastically. Because platforms can directly receive user payments in real-time, they can first receive the money earned and then distribute it.   

Lin Youxi ran ahead and then pulled down her eyelids, making a funny face at Mei Fang. Auntie doesn’t need your help, understood?      “I agree too,” Crixus added his approval. “Spartacus’ plan will succeed. Given the Romans’ pride, they won’t choose to retreat after receiving news of our attack.” Although Lin Youxi’s dad is busy, whenever he has time, he always invites Mei Fang to their house and cooks for him. It's okay.      

I never liked shouting out of emotion. It was common for nobles to finish work in the morning and spend the afternoon at leisure.       The hall’s atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm. Even the cautious Artorix did not object anymore. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels . com

However, not everyone was in that situation. We decided to have ramen for dinner, which we usually only passed by but could not eat.     Spartacus continued, “With our entire army engaging the Roman legion, our camp will be left empty, and the Neapolitans might take advantage of it. I suggest that Maximus be responsible for guarding the camp. Just hold on for two or three days, and we will return with the main force.” We shook hands, lightly shaking them once. What I feel from the other side of the screen is a world that keeps expanding endlessly.    

They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs. That'd be quite a favor.   Maximus didn’t expect to be able to lead the Logistics Battalion’s guard team and act together with the main force anyway. After all, the other teams of the Logistics Battalion were in the camp, so it was only natural for him to stay behind. He nodded and agreed, “Alright, you can rest assured and march out. I will guard the camp.” Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels . com

However, not everyone was in that situation. We decided to have ramen for dinner, which we usually only passed by but could not eat.     Even Crixus did not express opposition to this. After all, in the situation where all the other leaders were going to battle, apart from Maximus, there was no one else who could take on this heavy responsibility. In order to prevent this child from having any regrets about her childhood, Mei Fang naturally wanted to fulfill Xia Yuan’s wishes.  

Hearing that the farm had a considerable number of guards, Maximus was not surprised. Vorenus, can we harvest everything in one day?   “Although the city guard of Naples is not formidable, there are too few soldiers under Maximus. To be on the safe side, I suggest incorporating the more than 400 slaves that Maximus brought back today into the Logistics Battalion to strengthen the defensive force,” Hamilcar’s words delighted Maximus. The one of the porters who had been carrying our belongings all the way here timidly spoke up. Going to a convent was not a bad thing.

Aisha, Natsumi, and Roy should be somewhere in this line. Yukino shyly bowed to the staff member who praised their achievements today.   “I think that’s a good idea,” Spartacus didn’t mind. He looked at everyone and said, “Let’s vote on the proposal I just made.” Because platforms can directly receive user payments in real-time, they can first receive the money earned and then distribute it.   

As the Roman soldiers marched out of the camp, the rebel army also began to move. Good Lord, how can there be so many people?!         In fact, they had already reached a unanimous agreement earlier, so the vote now was just a formality. There were seven people in the hall, and six of them had voting rights (Maximus gained the right to vote at the military commanders’ council in early August due to his outstanding performance in the Logistics Battalion, while Artemus, who joined late, temporarily only had the right to participate and give suggestions). The vote was passed unanimously. Support the translator by reading @ gem novels .com

We shook hands, lightly shaking them once. What I feel from the other side of the screen is a world that keeps expanding endlessly.      …………………………………………… However, Spartacus couldn’t immediately abandon the troops and leave. In the afternoon, the troops arrived outside the city of Capua.

Although it might be suffocating at times, it was not a big deal to me whether or not Alexis was breathing down my neck. I am Lutz.     After Praetor Varinius became the commander to suppress the rebel army, his house was filled with guests, as many elders and nobles recommended their families’ sons and brothers to him. He did not reject any of them and put all their names on the expedition list.
However, as an experienced general, he didn’t completely lose his mind. After recruiting soldiers, he found that they were mostly new recruits. Instead of rushing into battle, he intensified the training of the entire legion to avoid a repeat of Glaber’s failure. His mindset changed after watching a certain performance in his second year of high school. Aren’t we going to your house for lunch? 

The names Crixus mentioned were all Gaulish gladiators and close friends of his. The entire army formation began to move forward.      He applied to the Senate, stating that he “needed more time to train the soldiers for a smoother suppression of the rebellion.” After deliberation, the Senate agreed.

Although this happened when Lin Youxi was only three or four years old, she might have recalled this familiar scene. Wait a minute.    However, during the time he was busy training the troops, the Roman populace gradually felt the impact on their lives caused by the cut-off of Via Annia and the turmoil in southern Campania. Moreover, the unceasing calls for help from the Campanian towns like Naples and Capua put great pressure on the Senate. Finally, they unanimously passed a resolution requiring Varinius to dispatch troops immediately. The meat they bought was chicken, with a clean, fresh pink color. While traveling along a mountain, they were caught up in a landslide.

Lin Youxi ran ahead and then pulled down her eyelids, making a funny face at Mei Fang. Auntie doesn’t need your help, understood?      This sudden order caught Varinius a little off guard. Since the previous expedition led by Glaber had emptied the Roman armory, he had not yet urged for replenishment, and now the entire legion was still lacking in weapons and equipment. In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?     

The results of today’s written exam will be announced one week later. From this elevated position, I swiftly swung my sword mid-air.     To avoid the Senate’s dissatisfaction, Varinius had no choice but to let Lucius Furius, a military tribune, lead 2,000 well-equipped soldiers to set out first. However, all of this was merely an illusion on the surface. Very few students in the class have seen the real Lin Youxi. So cute!    

The guy apologized to me, and the girl glared at him sharply but didn’t say anything more. Just then, Yukino returned to us. Of course.  Under Varinius’ urgent insistence, the Roman armory barely managed to equip the remaining soldiers the next day. He ordered the Camp Prefect Lucius Cossinius to lead the remaining 4,000 soldiers to set off quickly. He himself led the cavalry, escorting the hard-won remaining legion supplies, and calmly marched southward after half a day. In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?     

Bathed in the white moonlight, she looked at me with a faint glow. This platform seems to be a special tool used to measure that level.  A legion divided into three parts, each separated by about half a day’s journey, is a major military taboo. However, Varinius wasn’t too worried because he had a detailed understanding of Glaber’s battle with the rebel slaves. The slaves were forced to come out and fight only when Glaber’s army reached their camp, indicating that the rebel slaves lacked the courage to launch an attack proactively. Moreover, Varinius had already made an agreement with Furius and Cossinius: they would first meet in Capua to regroup and then continue towards the rebel camp. As the Roman soldiers marched out of the camp, the rebel army also began to move. Good Lord, how can there be so many people?!       

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   Varinius’ plan seemed good, but he underestimated the rebels and misjudged one person. Maximus, who had already taken his position at the front of the formation, was not surprised by this. Crixus looked down at the water

It’s the name of mankind’s last fortress city, a mixture of metal and stone. The amount of money required for the this was enormous.     Furius, who had previously served as a questor and later became a Roman senator, was recruited into the military by Varinius, and appointed as a broad-striped military tribune, on the strong recommendation of Sulla the Younger. However, Spartacus couldn’t immediately abandon the troops and leave. In the afternoon, the troops arrived outside the city of Capua.

Now, back to Aisha’s expression. The reason for this change was undoubtedly Yukiho’s presence. The destination I aim for lies ahead.     The broad-striped military tribune was different from a regular military tribune, not just because he wore a wide sash over his belted tunic, but more importantly, because this role had to be assumed by someone of senatorial rank. If something happened to the legatus, they had the right to take over the position and command the entire legion. As such an important position, Varinius chose Furius not only to accommodate Sulla but also because of Furius himself. The situation was urgent, and Maximus couldn’t spare a moment to look. Furius stopped asking questions and turned to the messenger.  

The soldiers were filled with renewed spirit, but some remained puzzled. Furius, bewildered, was swept away by the fleeing soldiers.   Furrius had served as a questor in the province of Hispania and worked under Pompey, who had a good opinion of him. He had some military experience. During his tenure as a senator, he didn’t exhibit the impulsive radicalism that some young senators did and showed more stability. His thick beard made him look old, but from the tone of his voice, he seemed to be still in his prime. And then an accident occurred. 

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   So Varinius believed that this stable young senator would execute his orders well. However, he forgot that Roman youths of patrician birth had a strong ambition for glory, and Furius was no exception. Moreover, during the time Furius spent in the province of Hispania with Pompey, who was close in age, this feeling became even stronger. The reason why Furrius remained restrained in the Senate was that the Senate was a place where the elderly held power, and any display of youthful exuberance would only draw antipathy… And now, when the opportunity presented itself to Furius, he wanted to seize it without hesitation. While Mei Fang and Lin were conversing, Yue suddenly stood up, covering her mouth, and made a face as if she was about to vomit.     

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   Varinius ordered Furius to halt the march upon reaching Capua and wait for the following troops to join them, but Furius disregarded the command. Instead, he led his troops to continue marching south along the Via Annia after arriving in Capua. Xia Yuan showed a bewildered expression, exchanged a few words with her mom, and then hung up the phone. Mei Fang sighed helplessly. 

Vorenus entered the room and saw Maximus sitting at the edge of the bed. Frontinus, do you see anything else that needs attention?     He believed that if Glaber could easily crush the rebel slave army with 3,000 soldiers, he could do it even with 1,000 fewer soldiers, and he wouldn’t make the same foolish mistake. When he independently quelled the slave rebellion, he would undoubtedly win considerable praise from the Roman populace and further his career in the Senate.
