Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Day 2 early in the morning

All the Basques caught were taken to the deck.

"You guys are so courageous, you even dare to move the legion's transport ship!"

Brian felt refreshed after a good night's sleep.

Brian lashed an older Basque across the cheek with his horsewhip.

"Where is your tribe? How many are there?"

The early Basques had been driven to extinction by the Gauls who went south and the Romans who went north.

There are not many people in existence, and it should be only a very small part.

"Catch 10 people and throw them into the river..."

Brian didn't care if these Basques lived or died.

Soon 10 Roman soldiers stepped forward, randomly selected 10 Basques "730" and broke their tendons and hamstrings with the Roman dagger in their hands.

Accompanied by countless screams, these people were thrown into the river.

However, it was swallowed by the raging Ebro River randomly.

Maybe these Basques have good water skills, but their tendons in their hands and hamstrings were cut off, so they have only a dead end.

The slightly older Basque began to tremble, unable to tell whether he was angry or afraid.

"Throw 10 more people down!"

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Brian was not in a hurry.

If he doesn't answer in the end, he'll throw him in.

The businessman Lukes who was standing aside at the moment couldn't help swallowing.

He suddenly realized that yesterday Brian had treated him pretty well.

Soon, only 10 people were swallowed by the river.

They had their tendons and hamstrings cut off, and they could only be ruthlessly swallowed by the river.

This time Brian didn't even ask any questions, and directly ordered Lucius to cut off all the tendons in the hands and hamstrings of everyone.

The older Basque was finally moved.

"I said! We come to Mount Reus, there are still 1,000 people in our tribe!"

Mount Reus

It was the destination of Brian's trip.

The location of Hannibal's treasure.

"Then I ask you! Do you know Hannibal?"

Brian stepped forward and lifted him up.

This time, the other party replied very honestly.

"do not know!"

"Lock them all up, but don't give them food, it will be useful later!"

Brian tossed the Basque aside.

Maybe he really didn't know Hannibal's treasure. If he knew the treasure, they wouldn't have to block the way here to rob.

at the same time

In a dim room, Bernani was lashing Elixis with a whip.

According to Brian's request, she was trained to be a qualified female slave.

For Brian's request, Bernani will complete it meticulously.

"Don't think that you are superior to others after sleeping with Lord Brian. It's nothing. As a slave girl of Lord Brian, you must be ready to sacrifice your body at any time!"

Elixis looked at Bernani resentfully.

"You are just his slave, what right do you have to say about me!"

Snapped

A whip slapped Elixis on the back fiercely.

"I am not his slave, I am his subordinate!"

Benanie knelt down and gently raised Ilysis's delicate face with the whip.

Although Brian is cold-blooded and ruthless, he is surprisingly kind to his subordinates.

on the vast mediterranean

A fast boat is sailing fast.

"Master, why don't you bring some troops to Iberia this time!"

The chief slave, Custer, respectfully asked the old man beside him.

This old man was no one else, but Gaius Mario who was going to inspect the 13th Legion this time.

"I'm old and can't stand the wind and waves, so it has a special taste!"

Gaius Marius, who was dressed in casual clothes, said relaxedly.

Everything originated from his transformation more than 10 years ago.

As a Roman consul, he made drastic reforms.

In particular, the general army was changed to a recruiting system, which greatly improved the combat capability of the Roman legion.....

However, any change is a double-edged sword.

Although Marius reformed and stabilized the precarious Roman Republic, it also offended a considerable number of Roman upstarts.

This is why Marius gradually suffered from the coldness of the Senate after the reform.

After more than 10 years of silence, Marius wanted to return to politics.

However, even if he returned to the Senate, he was still a marginal figure in the Senate.

Although many people wanted to support it, Mario offended too many people back then.

If Mario hadn't touched their bottom line, he would have been assassinated already.

Now that Marius intends to return to the center of power, he must first have military power, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to go to the 13th Legion a few days ago.

If he can get the support of most legion chiefs, then his status in the Senate will also rise to fame.

During the Roman Republic, the number of legions did not exceed 30.

And every legionary leader is also a senior member of the Senate.

So even after Cateus died, Brian could only be the acting head of the legion.

Because he does not have the status of a member of the Senate.

As for the purpose of Mario's trip, if possible, he hopes to promote Brian to the position of legion commander, so as to gain the support of the Caesar family and the Cotta family.

When Mario was enjoying the current time in 3.0, suddenly several Clippers came from not far away.

The huge skull on the ship indicates the identity of the Clippers.

Pirates of Silesia in the Mediterranean Sea.

"How did the Silesian pirates appear here?"

Gaius Mario said doubtfully.

But he didn't panic.

But the palm slave Custer beside him was extremely nervous.

These Silesian pirates have always killed people without blinking an eye.

And at this moment, he and Marius are businessmen, and there is no soldier around them.

"Don't be nervous, Castor, remember I'm a rich Iberian businessman!"

Gaius Mario was somewhat disappointed with his slave's performance. .
