Ancient Rome: Start with the legionnaire

On orders from the Senate, Malleus visited the 13th Army and gave military instruction to Brian.

The 13th Legion was captured by pirates, and although it had nothing to do with Brian, it was said and its impact.

And the Senate will have little affection for Brian.

So this matter must not be a big deal.

If it weren’t for the fact that the lair of the Silesian pirates would not be here.

Brian couldn’t wait to lead the army to attack and directly took their old nest.

“That Custer, how many days did the pirates give you?”

“General Brian, the pirates gave me 7 days, and I have spent two days here!”

Custer said quickly.

That is to say, there are only three days left for the Brians.

“General Brian! Please hurry up and save my master, otherwise once the pirates kill Lord Malleus, I can’t explain it when I go back!” ”

Brian rolled his eyes in a rare way.

Don’t talk about you, you can’t explain, even he, the acting corps leader, can’t explain.

If he didn’t know, now he knew, if he couldn’t save Malleus, the Senate would be accountable.

At that time, let alone become a corps commander, there is even a possibility of putting on an incompetent hat and driving out of the army.

“How many of them are there?”

“They have three clippers, probably fifty or sixty people, but after they got to shore, they recruited some mercenaries!” I left with almost 200 people! ”

Custer recalled.

Since this group of pirates has been wandering the Aegean Sea, suddenly appearing in the western Mediterranean, their number is not large.

“That is, fifty or sixty pirates, plus about 100 mercenaries?”

“That’s pretty much it!”

“That is, these mercenaries colluded with the pirates?”

Mercenaries were a profession that was widespread during the Roman Republic.

Sometimes, the Roman legions also hired mercenaries, of course, only the best mercenaries.

On weekdays, some merchants and underground guilds (gangsters) also hire mercenaries, and even robbers, and will join forces with mercenaries.

“So be it! Lucius bring 20 tarrants of gold! Let’s go to the Mediterranean coast to see which pirate who ate the bear heart leopard gall, even the former consul of the Republic dared to kidnap! ”

“Then Lord Brian! Melt the gold to start minting as you requested, and now you’ve just finished a small part! ”

“This can be done later, gold is indispensable, first load them on the boat, and then we will go down the river!”

Originally, Brian planned to mint gold into Roman gold coins before Marius’s arrival.

It seems that the time is out of time.

“Now it is important that we save the Roman senators!”

Lucius, who was standing beside him, twitched lightly.

With what he knew about Brian, it was all absolutely pretend.

If there is no benefit, Brian will never be kind enough to save others.

“And call Baltas over!”

Soon the Basque chief was taken to Bryan’s room.

“Chief Baltas! You offended me before and killed my soldiers, I should have killed you all, but in order to find Hannibal’s treasure, I promised to pardon you for anyone who can provide clues! ”

Hearing that Brian wanted to pardon him, Baltas’s hanging heart finally relaxed.

“Thank you Legion Commander for not killing! That little girl, who is also on the Legionnaire’s ship, has also offended the Legionnaire before, can you release it with her! ”

After Balsta’s reminder, Brian remembered that Erie Four was still being tweaked by Benani.

Brian had visited it once before.

Benani is a Parthian killer, and her training methods are tricky and vicious.

“It’s not a problem to let her go!”

Brian waved his hand and continued.

“Chief Baltas, have you ever thought about the future of your tribe, now your situation is very embarrassing, you belong neither to Rome nor to Gaul!”

“Lord General, what do you mean?”

Baltas looked at Brian with a puzzled expression.

“You can choose to be my commoners, and I can make you free commoners in Rome.”

Speaking of this, Brian paused.

“As for the conditions! Although we had a lot of unpleasantness before, that was over after all, wasn’t it! Our legion needs some special talents, such as Basque auxiliaries who are familiar with water! ”

During this time, due to the conquest, the legionnaires died a lot, although some were added, but they were not full.

And Brian also wanted to recruit some cannon fodder temporarily.

“But Lord Brian, our village adds up to more than 1,000 people…”

At this, Baltas stopped.

Originally, there were more than 1,000 people in their village, and nearly 200 people died in previous battles.

Now their village can be said to be a great loss of vitality.

“Baltas! As far as I know, there must be at least hundreds of thousands of Basques scattered throughout Iberia, and you can gather them and become your subordinates! ”

Without clapping his hands as he spoke, two Roman soldiers came in from outside, carrying a wooden box.

When you open the wooden box, you can see that it is full of gold coins that have just been minted.

“That’s about 2,000 gold coins! With this money, you can contact other Basques! ”

Seeing the money, Baltas’s eyes lit up directly.

“Lord Brian, are these gold coins really for me?”

“Of course, as long as you work for me! But before that, I need 20 Basques with great water properties! ”

……

On a beach on the west coast of the Mediterranean.

Cilician pirates and mercenaries were stationed here, and they held more than 20 nobles.

Gaiusmalio was held alone in a tent.

“Old fellow, your servant has been away for two days, do you have any ideas?”

The bandit leader looked at Gaiusmalio and said worriedly.

He was certainly not worried about Gaius Malleus, but about not getting the ransom.

And can this guy’s nephew really come up with that much money? This is also a problem. _
