Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

"Master Brian, the number has been counted!"

Lucius, stood in front of Brian and reported respectfully.

Gold bricks and various gold ornaments are about 20,000 pounds

More than 100,000 pieces of various weapons

122 ivory

20,000 pounds of gold, even Brian couldn't help but gasp.

20,000 pounds = 200 talents = 800,000 gold coins

It is roughly estimated that there are nearly 800,000 gold coins.

Seeing such a mountain of gold, Baltas looked straight ahead.

Sitting on a golden mountain, he actually went out to rob for his livelihood.

"Very good! Burn all Hannibal's broken copper and iron that can be burned, and throw everything that can't be burned into the Ebro River!"

Although the large pile of broken copper and iron left by Hannibal is no longer usable according to the standards of the legion, but if it falls into the hands of other tribes, it will soon equip a large army.

"Yes, Lord Legion!"

"By the way, immediately cast that gold into gold coins! And keep the ivory properly!"

Brian added on the sidelines. 563

"Should the casting be done in situ here?"

Lucius had some doubts, wouldn't it be better to bring all the gold back to the legion for casting right now?

In fact, Brian thought so at first.

But that old man Marius is coming to let him know that he has found Hannibal's treasure, and who knows what will happen?

Unavoidable that there would be long nights and many dreams, Brian decided to directly mint the gold into gold coins here.

However, two days later, the arrival of a slave completely disrupted Brian's rhythm.

"General Brian, there is a servant who claims to be your Uncle, and wants to see you!"

A soldier stood in front of Brian meticulously and said.

"Uncle?"

Brian never remembers having an Uncle.

"Let him come in, let me see who he is, he has such guts, he dares to rape relatives!"

Soon the servant was brought up, a 50-year-old slave.

"That is, you want to see me, and bring my Uncle's letter with you?"

Brian said with a displeased face.

And there is a huge copper bar on the chest of the other party, which is obviously from the chief slave of a certain family.

But Brian has been in Rome for so many years, and he has never heard that he has an Uncle.

"General Brian is like this! I said that on purpose just to meet you!"

Castor said almost pleadingly.

He was released by the pirates, but he couldn't be found. Gaius Mario told him that the only one who could save him was Brian.

But Brian's military camp went deep into the interior of Iberia.

As luck would have it, he had just entered the Ebro River when he encountered a group of Roman soldiers.

After inquiring, the group of soldiers in front of him turned out to be Brian's subordinates, and Brian was also stationed on a nearby mountain.

Therefore, the chief slave Custer ran into the barracks ecstatically.

At this moment, he took out without hesitation, Gaius Mario's personal letter.

"This is a handwritten letter from my master to you!"

Brian took the letter with a puzzled expression, and Gaius Lorma's signature was impressively written on it.

Gaius Lloma

A little surprised, but Brian continued to read.

Gaius Mario was actually captured by pirates, but Gaius Marius claimed that his nephew, Brian, could pay (ccab) a ransom to redeem him.

"This old guy, good army, the ship doesn't take [what kind of commercial ship?"

Brian looked at Castor in front of him curiously.

"My master actually wanted to come here as a tourist, but he didn't expect to meet Silesian robbers on the way!"

The more Brian listened, the more interesting he became.

"Silesian bandit, shouldn't that be in the Aegean Sea? How could it appear in the Western Mediterranean?"

At Brian's question, Lucaster was taken aback.

"I have the same question, but they are indeed Silesian pirates!"

"In desperation, my master claimed that you are his nephew. Right now, only General Brian, you can save master!"

"So how much ransom does the other party want?"

Brian would like to know how much is the ransom for the generation of hero Gaius Marius?

"10 taranc gold!"

The surrounding Roman soldiers could not help but gasp.

The Lycian pirates were so crazy that they dared to kidnap the former Roman consul and demanded a huge ransom.

"Ten talents of gold!"

Brian touched his smooth chin and said.

The appetite of these Silesian pirates is not small, and 10 talents of gold are not something ordinary nobles can afford.

Of course, this is still a ransom proposed by the other party without knowing Mario's identity.

If they knew the identity of the former consul of Marius, they would probably mention more.

"Yes! Master Brian, you must save our master!"

"Don't worry! Gaius Mario is an idol I have always admired, and he is also the former consul of the Republic! I will definitely decide this matter for you!

Originally, Brian was thinking about how to build a good relationship with Mario.

After all, Brian is only the acting head of the legion now, and only by getting through the relationship with the Senate can he become the head of the legion logically.

Although Marius is in the Senate and is now out of power, he still has connections.

"Then ask the general to redeem my master with 10 talents of gold!"

Castor immediately said gratefully.

"Caster, in fact, you don't necessarily need gold to rescue your master.

Brian drew out the long sword at his waist for an excuse.

"Damn Silesian pirates, I made them come and go this time!".
