Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Brian wasn't surprised at all by the Senate's decision.

Although the Roman Republic has 30 legions.

But most of these 30 legions are not in Italy, they are scattered in the direction of the blast furnace, the Balkan Peninsula and North Africa.

Due to the high point area, the strong combat power of the Gaul tribesmen.

So the legion in the Gaul region is the most powerful legion in Rome-.

At the same time, it is also equipment, as for the well-equipped heavy army.

In the Balkan Peninsula Greece, this region where such a great man as Alexander was born.

The Roman garrison here exceeded 10 legions.

The Spartans who came here were unruly and difficult to suppress.

Just as the evaluation of the Balkan Peninsula by later generations is the powder keg of war.

Basically, it can be said that all the people are soldiers.

Although Rome conquered here before, it needs to maintain a strong military here.

At the same time, there was a powerful empire in the east, the Parthian Empire.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the Roman Republic has deployed a strong combat force here.

In order to better control the entire Mediterranean, the Republic also deployed a powerful military force in North Africa.

Now the two consuls, Phillips and Sextus, intend to mobilize troops from the Balkans and North Africa to quell the rebellion.

After Brian read the letter, he turned to look at the messenger beside him.

"Aside from that, is there anything else the Senate wants?"

The messenger who delivered the letter then said.

"The Senate hopes that you can actively prepare for war, in case of emergency, and expand your military strength if necessary!"

Having said that, Brian was taken aback.

The Senate would actually issue such an order.

It seems that the Senate has a certain judgment on the seriousness of the matter.

In the past, according to Roman law, the number of 10 brigades of a legion could not be changed.

Now the Senate even hinted that the legionaries can expand the army by themselves.

It is clear that things have reached an irreconcilable point.

"Come here, entertain the envoy well."

Then Brian summoned all the middle and senior generals in his tent.

"Warriors of the Republic, I just received a letter from the Senate."

While speaking, Brian showed the letter to the generals present.

"The Marci and Samorians rebelled, and they raised an insurgent army of more than 15 legions to overthrow the rule of the Roman Republic.

Afterwards, Brian scanned all the people present.

All present included all the centurions and tribunes.

However, due to the composition of the Roman Legion, more than 1/3 of them were Marci and Samuel.

...asking for flowers......

At this moment, Rex suddenly realized.

Just some time ago, Brian suddenly granted Roman citizenship to all the owners of the 13th Legion.

Although Brian is now the head of the legion and at the same time a member of the Senate, he does not have this power.

All that was done was unbelievable.

Now Rex finally understood that Brian was trying to win people over.

More than 1/3 of the middle and senior commanders are Marsi and Samor.

The proportion among ordinary Roman soldiers was even higher

First of all, we must solve the ideological problem, otherwise, in the future war, we will definitely not be able to take advantage of any advantages.

"Master Legion Commander, we will do whatever you say!"

Polo stood up first, first to support Brian.

Originally, he was a descendant of a professional soldier, so he didn't think much about these matters and politics.

More importantly, he has tasted a lot of sweetness following Brian these years.

So, be the first to come out and support Brian.

Thanks to his leadership, many centurions also supported Brian.

Some other security guards also joined in one after another.

"Very well, since everyone is so supportive, according to the order of the Senate, the 13th Legion will start to expand its army today, with a number of 10,000 people."
