    After reaching a glorious peace agreement that was extremely beneficial to Rome with Herod who had fled to the mountains of Persia, Lepidus and his staff had begun secret discussions in the winter capital of Ctesiphon to establish the province of Mesopotamia and its subordinates.  Although he supported Mindaz to become the king of the vassal Parthian Kingdom, Lepidus knew that Mindaz¡¯s popularity and foundation were actually very difficult to fight against Herod and his son alone - especially  If Pacrus ascends the throne in the future, this brave Parthian warrior will be even more troublesome for Mindaz.  ¡ð But what if Mindaz¡¯s territory and military strength are increased?  This is even more incompatible with Lepidus' wishes. It is difficult for Lepidus to tolerate the emergence of a kingdom in this land that is stronger than the military force of the Syrian province. Therefore, he restricted Mindaz's country to a very reasonable framework.  He will neither be strong nor too weak. As for the future defense of Parthia, the army of the new province of Mesopotamia will help each other to complete it.  Lepidus finally came to the conclusion that Mesopotamia must have two legions, but neither legion was stationed on the line between Seleucia and Ctesiphon, because it was a very dangerous and safe place.  Instead, they are all stationed on the southern border of Armenia. They can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.  As for Syria, Lepidah also left a legion stationed in the village to serve as second-line preparations, and the garrison work in other cities was handed over to the local armed militia.  "Minor Asia is very peaceful now. There is no need for many defenders at all. Just leave it to Adiana and Diotalus. As for Ionia and Ionia, there is no need for legions or they will be dismissed.  Or transfer it to other areas for defense. This will also help the economic recovery of this place and bring huge tax revenue to the country." Lepidah sat on the sand table and said, and then he drew a red line in front of Lepidah Fort, "This is the second line of the empire.  The location of the barrier must have four to six legions and corresponding fleets together with the Macedonian region. It must not be careless." While continuing to divide the defense and administrative regions of Italy, Lepidus suddenly remembered something.     soon.  Paluma limped in, and then his adoptive father made clear his request to him and Dusonville to hand over the military power of the new cavalry regiment.  Obviously both of them knew that this day was coming sooner or later, and they had already prepared the seal and token, and handed them over to their adoptive father and superiors respectfully. The high priest was very satisfied with this, and he said to Paluma  He could go to Mauritania as soon as possible and take up his post. As for Dusonville, he also expressed his condolences to the chief who had followed him in battles for many years and said that he would grant him the Seguangni area as a national capital.  It is adjacent to the territory of Vercingetorius and is responsible for the defense of the Renus River.  Of course, there is also an obligation to check and monitor each other.  As for the new cavalry legion with a total of 8,000 men, the high priest immediately ordered it to be "dismembered" into eight detachments, and each detachment was further divided into two detachments of 500 cavalry each.  With their own independent military camps and garrison areas, when this province is threatened in the future, these independent cavalry detachments will become a huge nightmare for the enemy in the plains and wilderness here.  "Father, I will set off tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet you, Mama Potima, and Mama Yulia in the future. I hope you are all in good health. I will continue to work conscientiously and fulfill my duties in the new area to serve us.  The family's glory and wealth will increase." Paluma fell at her adoptive father's feet and burst into tears.  The high priest also had tears streaming down his face. He kept stroking Paluma's golden hair and warned her, "Be kind to Fan Lundena. You should learn more Greek or Latin writing when you have free time on weekdays, and don't always ride a horse."  Hunting, this way Potimama can write more letters to you. You know she wants to see your handwritten words, and there is a child's heart in them. " " As a result, Si Yan hadn't finished saying goodbye to Paluma.  The servant came to report, "Your daughter is leaving Ctesiphon and is preparing to say goodbye to you." In front of the city gate of Ctesiphon, Neeko stood upright with her hands hanging down, holding a riding crop, and raising the toes of her boots.  There, with a face full of reluctance, the tall Ossetinius stood beside her, constantly comforting her gently - but she still had to leave her father after all, because if she stayed with her father, she would not understand herself.  She can do whatever she has to do. She has become a deer in the jungle, conforming to the expectations given by her mother Helen Putina, not her father. She does not want to be the princess whom her father loves, like Corinna, who she has never met.  .  But when she saw her father, holding his robe, struggling to run alone from the palace avenue like a young man in his forties, she couldn't stop crying.  This tree-lined avenue is very long. Even though Lepidus' physique is extremely strong due to his long-term military service and training, when he appeared in front of his daughter, his hair was still a little messy and droopy, and he was hunched over and panting.  Ossetinius saw the high priest standing there.?, he walked back knowingly, wanting to leave the sight of the high priest and let the father and daughter talk.  "Hello, Osanius." "Father!" Nicole wiped away her tears, still extremely dissatisfied with her father's rudeness.  "Okay, Ossetinius, don't leave. Just stay here and stand side by side with my daughter!" Lepidus said, stroking his hair and standing up straight.  "Father - we will live in the territory you gave us forever, at least in winter and spring. If you go to Nicomedia Palace or Sinope Palace every year, Ossetinius and I will go there in advance.  Go see you, go see you." Nicole covered her mouth and started crying again. Then she stepped forward and touched the corners of her father's eyes, "Father, Papa, you won't feel lonely." "Well, well.  ." At this time, Li Bida kept nodding like a comforted child.  Finally, Lepidus stood on the hill in the royal garden outside the city, watching under the twilight sky, his daughter and his tall son-in-law were riding side by side, telling each other words that he didn't understand well, and they gradually went away. The daughter kept looking back and waving to her father.  , and Ossetinius followed suit, following his daughter like a giant caring for a little bird.  "Nicole's own choice should not be wrong, but it is my thoughts that may really harm her." Watching his daughter leave, Lepidah muttered to himself in his heart, and then he looked around, Patty  Looking at the beautiful scenery of the Ya Royal Garden, he suddenly realized that he was really lonely - the little pigeon was gone, Nicole was gone, Leo would be independent in the future, and Prema might become Leo's palace in a few years.  exist.  "Forget it, I have sworn a long time ago, even if it is a shackle made of gold, I will continue to jump with it."
