Planet Rebirth

The next day, Octavian instructed the Senate to issue charges against Anthony, which included Anthony's enfeoffment of the territory of the Roman Republic to people outside of Rome with the authorization of the Senate, and accused Anthony of forgetting that he was a noble Rome Man, willing to be an Egyptian.

After this indictment was announced, Anthony, who was in Egypt, immediately released accusations against Octavian, accusing Octavian of being an upstart and tampering with Caesar's will. The alliance between the two was completely split.

Octavian detained Antony's son in Rome and executed him without trial, while his 20 Roman legions marched to Sicily, preparing to cross the Mediterranean to attack Egypt.

When the war was imminent, all the Roman provinces and surrounding countries all fell to Octavian's side. Over the years, they have received countless favors from Octavian, but that Antony did not give them anything. exploitation.

Facing Octavian's aggressiveness, Antony and Cleopatra immediately organized the most powerful navy in history and bypassed Sicily to attack Greece.

Yang Rui knew about this a long time ago and informed Octavian.Octavian immediately ordered the Greek Federation to organize resistance, and was willing to pay all the costs of the war, promising that if he wins, there will be a piece of land from various Greek city-states on the territory of Egypt.

The Greek navy faced the Egyptian navy in Actium. Driven by money and interests, the Greeks fought bravely and defeated the Egyptian navy composed of slaves and mercenaries.Anthony fled back to Memphis in a hurry.

Not long after, Octavian personally commanded the Roman legion to land on the coast of North Africa and march towards Memphis.The Roman soldiers originally stationed in North Africa hated Anthony, a miser, for a long time. Facing the generous Octavian, they defected and joined the sequence of crusade against Anthony.

Anthony became a loner, while Octavian's army had captured Alexandria and was heading towards Memphis.

In desperation, Antony raised his sword and committed suicide.Abandoned his beloved Cleopatra and a pair of twin children.

Distraught Cleopatra put Antony's body in a golden coffin and came to see Octavian.

Looking at this exquisite golden coffin, Octavian asked Cleopatra: "Who is inside you?"

Cleopatra said angrily: "It is Anthony, my dearest lover."

Octavian carefully looked at the Egyptian queen. She was indeed noble and beautiful. No wonder Caesar and Anthony were all overwhelmed by her. Even when he saw this woman for the first time, he was also attracted by her beauty.

But Octavian calmed down quickly. He knew that this woman was a poisonous snake, and anyone who touched her would die.I will never follow the old path of Caesar and Anthony.

After listening to Cleopatra's words, he began to sneer at the woman: "Dearest lover? Mark Anthony? I remember you said the same thing to Caesar when you went to Rome last time."

Cleopatra was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a long time, she sighed and said: "It's all over. I showed my precious youth and hard work for two Roman men, but all of this is over."

Octavian said sternly: "It should be said that it was committed against two Roman men, which almost ruined the Roman Republic."

Cleopatra shouted angrily: "Everything I do is to protect my country, and the glory of Egypt is still fading. She is now in a precarious state, and I must maintain the existence of this country!"

Octavian said: "But everything you do is threatening the safety of the Roman Republic. In order to maintain the existence of the Roman Republic, I must destroy Antony and Egypt."

Cleopatra cried and said: "Now you have done it. Antony is dead. Egypt no longer exists, and I have come here, at your disposal. I have only one request, I hope my children can be with me Together!"

Octavian said, "Anyway. You are the queen of Egypt, and I will not treat you like Antony! As long as you hand over the land and wealth of Egypt, you will be pardoned. Become an ordinary wealthy Roman citizen, and You can continue to raise your and Anthony's children!"

"But!" Octavian changed the subject and said, "Caesarion, you have to leave it to me."

Cleopatra shouted: "Caesarion is my son and Caesar, why can't he be with me?"

Octavian said: "This has nothing to do with you. Accept my conditions and I will pardon you, otherwise you will lie in this golden coffin with Anthony."

Cleopatra was desperate, she fixed her eyes on Octavian who was aloof, and she even said in a threatening tone: "If you don't agree with all my children staying with me, then I will destroy the world. Everything in Egypt, you get nothing!"

Octavian smiled coldly and said, "Royal power is based on the fear and obedience of the people. If there is no fear and obedience, how can you give orders?"

Octavian stood up and continued: "Rome has occupied every inch of Egypt, and your subjects have surrendered to Rome. I have promised them Roman citizenship and will no longer be slaves. And you and your ancestors We can't give them these, how are you getting them to carry out your orders now?"

Cleopatra stared at Octavian's proud and confident face, and said coldly: "You are indeed very similar to Caesar, but you are more decisive and ruthless than him. What is hidden under this young and kind face Indeed cunning and scheming, that fool Anthony is ten thousand times kinder than you."

Octavian said: "But they all failed and died, but I was still alive and won the final victory!"

At this moment, Cleopatra suddenly revealed her hand that had been hidden from her sleeve, and a black poisonous snake was being pinched tightly in her five fingers. The smooth and slender body of the snake was tight wrapped tightly around Cleopatra's white arms.

There was a commotion in the tent, Octavian's guards all drew their daggers, used their shields to block Octavian behind them, and pointed the tip of their swords at Cleopatra, for fear that she would do something crazy.

But Cleopatra held the poisonous snake in her hand and couldn't take it out. She stood there quietly, and her beautiful eyes forgot Anthony's golden coffin again.

After a while, she let go of the hand holding the poisonous snake, and the poisonous snake was free, and with bound anger, it opened its mouth wide and bit Cleopatra's arm fiercely, and then It slipped off and landed on the ground, and was instantly stretched into several sections by the soldier's dagger.

Cleopatra collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, convulsed all over, her lips trembling as if she wanted to speak, but the poison had eroded her charming body, she would not be able to utter a word, and finally fell on the coffin died.

Octavian felt that Egypt was completely in his hands at the moment Cleopatra died, and a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued..)
