Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Chapter 59 The Controversy In The Senate

"Just now the letter said that Brian will retaliate against Gaul, which violates our long-standing policy towards Gaul!"

Senator Lupus stood up and was the first to attack Brian for his behavior.

After the head of the army dies in battle, the deputy head of the army has the right to take over the entire army.

But Brian violated the long-standing policy of the Senate.

It all started 35 years ago, when Gaul marched southward, seriously threatening the rule of the Roman Republic.

Before the Marian reforms, the military service of the soldiers of the Republic was only a few short months.

Many are untrained ordinary citizens rushing to battle.

Composed of such citizens, the Roman legions often lost more than they won against Gaul.

But the basic national policy set at that time was not to provoke the Gaul tribes rashly.

After Marius reformed, the combat power of the legion increased exponentially, and the attributes doubled.

However, the Roman Republic has always followed the policy of not actively provoking Gaul tribes.

Lupus issued his opinion, and soon got the support of other members of the Senate.

After all, this will cause a great war between Gaul and Rome.

"I don't think so! Cateus, my friend, my comrade-in-arms, the commander of the 13th Army, but he died at the hands of the Gauls!"

"I support Brian! Avenge Cateus!"

Lucius stood up and was the first to retort.

As Brian's father, of course he was the first to refute Lupus.

More importantly, every legionary head of the Roman legion is a senator of the Senate.

Now that one elder died in battle, the other elders would naturally have some unique feelings.

Many senators stood up in solidarity with Lucius.

"It seems that most of the elders agree with Brian's revenge against Gaul, so Yuanyuanyuan will no longer hold him accountable for using the legion to attack Gaul without authorization!"

Consul Sextus, taking the opportunity to close the coffin, said conclusively.

Another consul, Phillips, also acquiesced to this move.

The head of the legion died in battle. If the Senate did not make a statement, it would probably chill the hearts of the soldiers in front.

"Is Brian okay?"

A member of parliament said questioningly from the side.

You must know that Brian was notorious in the city of Rome before, and he could be called the scum of the city of Rome.

There was such a man who commanded the Roman legions to attack the Gaul tribes.

It can't help but make people doubt his ability.

"Don't worry, I absolutely believe in my son's commanding ability!"

Lucius patted his chest, assuring the congressman of Brian's ability.

"Alright then! If Brian succeeds in his revenge, ask him to return to Rome to report on his duties!"

Consul Phillips said.

Only the head of the legion is eligible to return to Rome to report on his duties. This is obviously an expression of support for veterans like Lucius.

But his words don't offend others, if Brian's revenge fails, then everything will be illusory.

For a legion, it is not within his consideration.

As the consul of the Roman Republic, Phillips can temporarily mobilize all legions and be the commander in chief.

"How about this? Let's send a veteran to see how the 13th Legion is doing. First, we can inspect the situation of the 13th Legion. Second, you can help Brian in military command!"

Consul Sextus said that the Caesar family and the Cotta family were married, and he did not want Brian to be lost in northern Iberia.

However, most of the veterans present were aware of Brian's temperament and were reluctant to work with him.

No one wants to take the initiative to go.

Suddenly an old voice said.

"Since none of you are willing to go, let me go!"

According to the reputation, it is Gaius Marius, a generation of famous generals and the indirect founder of the Roman Empire.

Not only did Marius have excellent governing ability, but he was also recognized as one of the strongest military commanders in Rome during this period.

"Senior Marius! It's great that you can go to Iberia. When Brian does something wrong, you can whip him hard!"

Lucius extended a kind olive branch to Marius.

Although Lucius is also a top nobleman in Rome, he still cannot compare with a military giant like Marius.

In the past few years, although Mario has already faded out of everyone's sight.

However, no one dares to deny his military ability and ability to govern.

"It just so happens that I'm also going to see the scenery of the Pyrenees!"

In the middle of the night, a dark figure came to Antabela's bed.

The vigilant Antabela immediately noticed the comer.

"who is it?"

I saw a slim woman standing in front of her bed.

Antabella immediately lit a candle.

I saw that the visitor was a very slender girl, and judging from her clothing, she should have come from the East (Parthia).

"My master asked me to tell you two things"

Bernani said expressionlessly, looking at Antabella with a pair of indifferent eyes.

"Who is your master?"

Antabela also asked indifferently, and refused to tell her that the woman in front of her was very dangerous.

"My master is Lord Bu thank you!"

"Did Brian send you here?"

Antabella never noticed that there was such a female killer beside Brian.

"Yes, the master asked me to tell you! First thing, Sortos has been killed, as for his tribe, they have become slaves in the hands of the master!"

"Second thing, you promised the master's slave, please send it to the Red River Valley as soon as possible, the master's patience is limited! Otherwise, Tarago will be the next Cambra tribe!"

During the day, Antabella has been thinking about this matter. There are indeed some people in the tribe who disagree with her, but she can't kill them, so now she has to send those people to Brian.

"Okay, please tell Lord Brian! In three days, 10,000 slaves will definitely be sent to the Red River Valley!"

"I will take what you say, but I don't know if Master Brian can wait another three days!"

After finishing, Bernani's figure gradually sank into the darkness.
