Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

According to Roman law, Brian can lead a team of less than a hundred people back to Rome.

But Brian worried about the dangers of going by water.

After all, he doesn't have a warship in his hand.

You can only feel safe on the road.

So Brian walked ahead with 100 Roman soldiers, and a mile behind him, the Red Earl led his mercenary regiment of nearly 600 people.

"Lord Red Earl! Why do we have to keep a distance of one mile from Lord Brian!"

Roches, the captain of the Red Earl's mercenary group, said with a questioning face.

As early as yesterday afternoon, they had received an order to return to Rome with Brian.

To be honest, this period of time has suffocated this group of people.

Because they work in the Red River Valley and take care of the slaves.

Everything is managed in accordance with the discipline of the Roman legions.

Not only can't drink, but can't play with women.

Not even slaves!

Of course, senior generals are allowed, such as Brian and Gaius Malleus, who can drink anytime and anywhere.

And the Red Earl is also possible, as for their mercenaries, they don't have so much luck.

Come on! There is no wine in the Red River Valley, unless you steal from the army commander, you wouldn't dare to borrow the courage of the three of them.

Secondly! The Roman Legion was extremely strict in guarding the slaves.

No one could touch the slave girl without Brian's order.

It's not that Brian grudges the slave girl's body, because once she becomes pregnant, it will be very troublesome.

The Roman legions did not have so much energy to take care of pregnant women and infants.

Therefore, all members of the legion are prohibited from touching female slaves. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.

"If we follow Lord Brian, we will easily be criticized by others!"

These were Brian's exact words, and the Red Earl told the small captains beside her exactly.

And the mercenary group also has an important task, which is to escort the gold.

This time back to Rome, Brian intends to report on his duties and fight for the position of legion commander.

Brian (Ccff), who was from the East in his previous life, naturally knows that many things need to be managed with money.

"My lord, what's in the carriage at the back?"

A captain asked cautiously.

Because the carriage was very heavy, they were also moving very slowly.

"gold!"

The Red Earl replied without any concealment.

Some of the other people present had more or less guessed the gold coins, but it was terrifying that there were so many carriages filled with gold coins.

hiss

Many people might as well take a breath.

"I warn you not to play with these gold coins! And all of them are the property of the Thirteenth Legion!"

The Red Earl said coldly at the side, and at the same time knew that these were Brian's private property.

"If you touch these gold coins, the Roman Republic will hunt you down to Cape Tianya!"

Many people here are mercenaries, and their homes are in Italy or other places.

Although I don't know what Rome will do, but Brian will definitely make their lives worse than death.

Thinking of this, many people swallowed and gave up that unrealistic crazy idea.

...

And now Brian is returning to Rome with Gaius Marius, and he only brought a procession of 100 people.

But he brought several centurions and legion tribunes with him.

Brian and Gaius Marius rode ahead on horseback.

"Little Brian, you brought a lot of gold with you!"

Before setting off, "Mario once saw the carriage carried by the mercenary group.

"Yes! If I go back to Rome empty-handed, those old guys will never let me enter the nursing home!"

Brian knows the power of human relations in Rome.

Even though his father was a senior senator in the Senate.

But it is not so easy for him to enter the Senate, he must open up contacts through gold.

"Your kid is more troublesome than your father!"

Gaius Mario said almost half-jokingly.

Brian is both cold-blooded and worldly, and this kind of person tends to eat very well.

What I value most about Brian is that he knows how to be flexible.

Thinking of this, Gaius Mario couldn't help but think of himself, he was too ignorant to be flexible these years.

Although his reforms made great contributions to the Roman Republic.

But he also made too many enemies in the Senate because of this, and now it is even more difficult to return to the center of power.

However, he is now 67 years old, and he has been a consul for five terms, so he has already seen it.

He's very bullish on Brian right now.

"Brian! I have a granddaughter who just turned 18 this year. Don't you have a wife yet? How about introducing it to you?"

Brian, who was thinking about what to do after returning to Rome, looked at Gaius Road with a strange expression on his face.

To marry his granddaughter to him?

The Marius family is also a big family with far-reaching influence in Rome.

But just like many big families in history.

After a great man appeared in the family, it became mediocre afterwards.

"Don't worry, my granddaughter Phil is young, lively and beautiful, and you can't help but like her when you see her!"

Seeing that Brian hesitated slightly, Gaius Ma said confidently from the side.

"Then respect is worse than obedience!"

Seeing this, Brian nodded and agreed. Although Gaius Mario is 67 years old and won't live for a few years, he still has a certain value.

Especially a few years later, Uxmael also controlled the Roman Republic for a period of time.

Naturally, Brian would not let go of this opportunity. .
