Ancient Rome: From Slave Owner to Supreme Emperor

"Meet the master!!"

"Hello, Lord Mayor!"

"Meet the Lord City Lord!!"

……

Seeing Ye Tian coming, Bardock and other slave warriors shouted loudly and saluted.

The new recruits also shouted in unison, with extremely loud, respectful and orderly voices.

"Thank you for your hard work. Today we will start paying the soldiers. Since we are at war now, the salary will be five times the usual salary! Five gold coins per person!"

Ye Tian shouted loudly.

The purchasing power of a sestels (copper coin) is equivalent to fifty yuan in the future.

And Ye Tian pays them five thousand yuan a month, which is equivalent to one hundred copper coins.

One hundred copper coins is equal to twenty-five silver coins (denars) and one gold coin.

Now is the war period. According to his promise, Ye Tian will give them five times the salary, so five gold coins, equivalent to twenty-five thousand yuan.

This is definitely a huge fortune for them.

"Huha!"

"Hoo ha!!"

……

I got paid on the first day, and it was five times the salary.���, making all the new soldiers extremely fanatical, roaring and shouting like crazy.

Such a city lord is really worthy of their support and love.

"However, the allied army could attack at any time, and the war could break out at any time! So, in order to warm up your gold coins, in order to prevent me from paying pensions to your families, and in order to prevent me from taking care of your wives and children, hurry up and train!!"

Ye Tian shouted

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

……

The recruits were so excited by Ye Tian that they burst into terrible morale, shouting madly and killing intent.

"Bardock, the training is good!"

Seeing the new recruits' condition has changed drastically from yesterday, Ye Tian was extremely surprised and praised Bardock.

"hehe……"

Bardock scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled, but he was very happy in his heart.

He took out a few bags of gold coins and asked the warriors to take them out to distribute.

Ye Tian did feel a little distressed to pay so much salary at one time.

Five gold coins per person, 2,600 people, that's 13,000 gold coins.

This is just one month's salary, and there are only more than 2,000 troops.

Therefore, if you want to have a strong armed force, it is impossible without terrible wealth to support it.

Although Ye Tian can also give them less salary, but in that case, what is the difference between him and other Roman nobles, how to improve the loyalty of the soldiers, how to harvest their free attribute points.

Moreover, Ye Tian does not want to form a ragtag army. The troops he formed are elite troops even if they are ragtag troops.

"Was there any movement last night?"

Ye Tian asked softly when he and Badak came to the city.

The forest in the distance had been burned bare by the fire, all black ashes.

In order to prevent the occurrence of plague, the bodies that were burned to death inside and the bodies had been dealt with by Ye Tian.

"This morning, a 100-man light cavalry unit came, but they didn't come close. They just watched from a distance. Before we could leave the city to pursue them, they left!"

Bardock said slowly.

"It's normal. If they were not light cavalry, they would not dare to come over!"

Ye Tian nodded, and then asked:"How is the lamp oil prepared?"

"That should be enough!"

Bardock nodded and reached

"So fast?"

Ye Tian was a little surprised

"Master, I'm sorry!"

After hesitating for a moment, Bardock apologized to Ye Tian.

"Why do you want to apologize?"

Ye Tian frowned and asked Bakda

"Last night, Sabak and his men discussed with me that in order to get more fuel, we extracted corpse oil from the enemy's corpses.……"

Bakda said slowly

"What? Refining corpse oil? Refining corpse oil from the enemy's corpse?"

After hearing this, Ye Tian was extremely shocked. Sabak was too crazy. He could actually think of such a cruel and inhumane method, and he carried it out?

To be honest, Ye Tian really couldn't imagine digging up people's graves and using corpses to refine corpse oil. Even if he thought of it, he would never do it. After all, the dead are the greatest, and the deceased should be allowed to rest in peace. No matter how cruel Ye Tian was, he would not disturb the sleepers as long as he did not reach a dead end.

It is hard to imagine that corpses were being roasted one by one, and then someone went to catch the dripping corpse oil. The scene was really terrible.

Only a madman could think of such a cruel thing.

"Yes, yesterday when we were dealing with the bodies that were burned to death by the fire, we found a lot of corpse oil, so Sabak and I proposed it! Sorry, Master, I made the decision without your consent. Please punish me.……"

Bakda said in a deep voice that he did not regret it, because they were going to face terrible enemies next, and he firmly agreed to try his best to obtain more war resources for Satan City and the master.

Moreover, there were some things that Ye Tian could not do, but they could do it!

Since the day he became loyal to Ye Tian, he had already realized this.

Therefore, when Sabak discussed with him, he could have asked Ye Tian for permission first, but he did not.

Because he knew that regardless of whether Ye Tian would agree or not, Ye Tian's identity did not allow him to order this.

"Don't worry about whether to punish him or not. Aren't you afraid of such cruel things?"

Ye Tian said with emotion. How could he punish Bardock? They did all this for his sake.

"They are just corpses, there is nothing cruel about it! We have seen even crueler things with our own eyes!"

Bardock said with emotion. He has participated in many wars, killed too many people, and seen too many dead people.

"You asked the new recruits to carry out the mission last night, no wonder they are so fearless today, it turns out they have gone through a baptism that is more cruel than killing.……"

Ye Tian asked

"Yes, the enemy will attack at any time, and they don't have much time to adapt! After last night, if they step onto the battlefield now, the probability of survival will at least double!"

Bakda said with some pride.

"I won't comment on your actions! But I must praise you. You have already mastered some of the essence of special forces!"

Ye Tian gently patted Bardock's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Sabak, you inhuman guy, come here!!"
