Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Another 7 days have passed.

Roman consul Sextus returns to Italy from North Africa.

He was accompanied by five regiments from North Africa.

North Africa has a vast land, and there is a powerful empire in its east.

Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations.

Although the bravery and brilliance are no longer there.

But the Roman Republic's desire to take Egypt did not happen overnight.

Now the Roman Republic has 7 legions stationed in the direction of Egypt.

The seven legions of the "280" must at the same time ensure strong pressure on Egypt, and they must also deal with nomads in the direction of the Sahara.

These nomads use camel cavalry and come and go like the wind.

It caused great trouble to the Roman legion.

The senate, which has always been comfortable, has not made up its mind to deal with Egypt.

Coupled with the harassment of southern nomads.

The North African Legion never took down the Egyptian Empire.

So it was very easy for Sextus, so he transferred 5 of the 7 corps and returned to Italy.

city ​​of rool

Babius' residence.

A soldier rushed in quickly from a distance.

"Master Babius is bad, a large number of Roman legions have landed at the southern Kashgar port!"

At this moment, Babius is discussing the next step with his legion commanders.

According to the previous plan with Pompidius, the task they want is to defeat the Roman legions who came to reinforce them, and then threaten the entire city of Rome.

"It's the North African Legion!"

Babius' first reaction was the Roman Republic, calling the North African Legion.

The North African Legion is the closest legion to the Italian peninsula.

"Have you found out which legions they are?"

"It's the third, fourth, sixth, eighth, ninth, and fifth legions."

I don't know if it's the bad taste of the automatic shutdown before or what the situation is.

Usually, the 1st to 10th legions are in the south, near North Africa.

And from 12th to 19th in the direction of Gaul.

The remaining 20th to 30th are near the Dagan Peninsula.

This is the approximate distribution of the 30 legions of the ancient Roman Republic.

Of course, the African Legion is the weakest of the three major legions.

Because the object of their resistance is the Egyptian Empire and some nomads in the south of the Sahara.

Now Egypt has shown considerable weakness, because it is close to the equator

The legions here, on the contrary to those around Gaul, are all light infantry.

"They came just in time, and I was going to deal with them!"

Babius smiled unremittingly at the five landing legions.

Now he has 8 legions in his hand

These legions are all trained by him, and they can be called elite.

He has the confidence to defeat the opponent's 5 legions with one brain...

And the opponent is only the North African light army [not the heavy army in the key direction.

"Come here, let all the legion chiefs and deputy legion chiefs go to the hall for a meeting!"

"Yes! Lord Babius!"

In the other direction, Consul Sextus.

Julius Caesar's Uncle, leading five legions, crossed the Mediterranean and landed in southern Italy.

On this land before, the Seventh Army and the Eleventh Army were wiped out by the rebels.

So he brought 5 legions this time.

Only two legions remained in North Africa.

"Is the matter really so serious, Lord Sextus?"

Lexus said to Consul Sextus.

The commander of the Lexus Third Legion has a deep scar on his left cheek, which was left by him during his early years of combat.

He was amazed that Sextus called five legions.

How many years have not been such a large-scale 2.7 use of the Roman Legion.

The last time such a large number of heavy troops were mobilized, it should not have been Marius to deal with the Gauls going south.

"Well, this incident is very serious."

Sextus knew who the enemy he was facing was.

The leader of the Samorians, Babius.

The legions he trained were almost indistinguishable from the Roman legions

And because the composition of the army is all Samorians, the legion has a high degree of cohesion. .
