Brutus presents himself as nonchalant, unbarred, and unfearful of the voice he hears till he realizes it was the real ghost of Caesar & is stricken with fear, fear that predictably roots from guilt & commands Cassius to gather their troops & go on their way.

The conspirator were not executed. The two leaders, Brutus and Cassius, fled Rome and rallied troops from the territories of Rome in the eastern Mediterranean whose provincial governors supported them. They then clashed with the forces of the supporters of Caesar led by Mark Antony and Octavian. They were defeated and died in the Battle of Philippi in Greece
In "Julius Caesar," Cassius believes Brutus' troops will be defeated because they are advancing in an uneven fashion and lack support. Cassius sends a scout to check out the situation. The Scout returns and tells Cassius that Brutus' troops are all surrounded by Antony's men. This is not true. Cassius feels all is lost and commits suicide.

Brutus
The Triumvirs (Octavius, Mark Antony and Lepidus) decide which of the conspirators shall live and which shall die. Mark Antony assures Octavius that Lepidus does not and will not ever have any serious power... The two men start planning their attack on Brutus' and Cassius' forces. Brutus learns that Cassius has finally arrived. Brutus is angry with Cassius, Cassius saying he has done his friend no wrong. Brutus wanting privacy from his troops, tells Cassius to step into his tent where he will discuss the issue further... Brutus angrily attacks Cassius first for contradicting his order to remove Lucius Pella for taking bribes and then Cassius himself for his own dishonesty. Cassius is upset by this but eventually Brutus chooses to forgive his friend. We learn that Portia, Brutus' wife has died, over one hundred senators have been put to death by the Triumvirs and that a large army led by Mark Antony and Octavius is approaching their position... Brutus is greeted by Caesar's Ghost which tells Brutus he will see Caesar again at Philippi.
There were 2 effects of Cassius' death (taking his own life/committing suicide). One effect of Cassius' death was that he left Brutus all alone to fend for himself & the troops in the war the second was that it lead Brutus to take his own life out of fear of being captured & put in Rome's prison for the rest of life as well.
Cassius wants to wait where they are so that they are nicely rested and fully energized while Antony's troops would come tired. The battle would then be won by them. On the other hand, Brutus feels that they should march to Antony. This is because the people living in that area were only on their side as they were forced to be. Thus, if Antony marched towards them, they would not be able to recruit many people on the way making their army very big and unbeatable. Also, they would be well refreshed. In the end, it was Brutus' plan that was chosen.
Brutus and Cassius met to join their armies at Saris, in western Turkey. They had levied 19 legions. Then they crossed into Macedon (northern and north-eastern Greece) and encamped near Philippi. Brutus had levied his troops in Greece and Cassius in the Roman province of Asia, in western Turkey. By 43 BC Cassius had gathered 12 legions and was ready to take on Publicus Cornelius Dolabella, the governor of Syria and a supporter of Marc Antony (who at that time was the leader of the Caesarians, the supporters of Caesar) whom he defeated at Laodicea (modern Latakia in Syria).The senate, which had pitted itself against Marc Antony, made Cassius governor of Syria. Cassius then wanted to march on Egypt. However, with the formation of the Second triumvirate, Brutus asked him for help. Cassius turned west and reached Smyrna, on the west coast of Turkey with most of his forces. Before meeting up at Saris, Cassius and Brutus attacked the allies of the Second Triumvirate in the east. Cassius sacked the Greek island Rhodes. Brutus sacked Lycia, in western Turkey.
The audience learns about the trouble within the Second Triumvirate, the breakdown of Brutus and Cassius' friendship, and Octavius' troops being strong and ready to fight Brutus' army.
Cassius and Marcus Brutus are part of the conspiracy to kill Ceasar for the good of Rome. Brutus used to be Caesar's best friend but betrayed him by helping to kill him. Cassius was also part of the killing of Cassius. In the end in the battle of Phillipi, Brutus and Cassisu join forces to fight against Marc Antony and his troops.
Brutus presents himself as nonchalant, unbarred, and unfearful of the voice he hears till he realizes it was the real ghost of Caesar & is stricken with fear, fear that predictably roots from guilt & commands Cassius to gather their troops & go on their way.
