Ancient Rome: Start with the legionnaire

Three days later, Brian’s fleet returned to their starting point, the north bank of the Ebro River.

“Lukes, thank you for your company this time!”

Brian patted Rooks on the shoulder and said happily.

“It is my honor to serve Lord Brian!”

Roox almost cried these words.

This time with Brian can be regarded as a thrill, Xi’an city was robbed by the Basques, and then fought with the pirates.

But now it’s finally over.

Snap!

With a clapping of his hands, two Roman soldiers walked in, carrying a small box, then opened it and placed it in front of Roox.

Inside it was full of gold coins.

“Here are 1,000 gold coins, just to compensate you for your losses!” We will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future! ”

“Ah, thank you so much, Lord Brian!”

Rooks didn’t expect to give him an extra honorarium.

“Okay then, we look forward to the next cooperation!”

Brian then led the legion north.

It only takes half a day’s walk to reach the 13th Army station, the Red River Valley.

“What is Bryan’s pull behind you?!”

Gaiusmalio asked questioningly from the sidelines.

Because the legion has arrived since 12:00 in the middle of the night, but the legion has been busy with these things all night long.

Now Gaius Malleus is not curious, what are those carriages in the back?

It is necessary to unload the ship in the middle of the night in advance.

“It’s all gold coins!”

Brian replied with a head of iron, nearly 800,000 gold coins.

I can’t hide it if I want to.

“It’s all gold, that’s too much, right?”

Gaiusma closed his mouth slightly in surprise.

At first he thought that all the carriage was loaded with stone.

But after thinking about it, what to do with so many stones, stones are still dissatisfied.

Brian didn’t elaborate on this.

He’ll know anyway, but for as long as ever.

Due to the gold carried, the whole team slowed down a lot, and it took 2 days to reach the Red River Valley in the morning.

“You actually built a fortress here?”

Gaiusmalio looked ahead at the valley with a huge fortress.

It was the soldiers of the 13th legion of the Roman Republic who were stationed.

“Mr. Mario, this is my legion, please advise!”

Brian had already informed Rex and ordered him to lead the soldiers of the 4th Group out in formation.

Now the soldiers of the four brigades have been neatly arranged around the fortress entrance.

However, these 4 teams are already the limit of what Brian can use.

He goes out in search of Hannibal’s treasure and takes two brigades with him.

The remaining three brigades had to guard both slaves and garrison fortresses in the north.

“I already knew that you had a set in the city of Rome, but I didn’t know how you managed the legions? Today, the old man just took a look! ”

Gaiusmalio looked at the neat group of four Roman soldiers.

Unlike garrisons in other parts of the Republic, the 13th Army was a front-line corps facing Gaul.

Therefore, the soldiers were all heavy plate armor, and the thickness of plate armor on shoulders and helmets was also reinforced.

“Your corps is a hoplite regiment!”

Gabs Malio saw that all the soldiers were plate armor.

“It costs a lot of money, right?”

“Yes! Equipping this heavy armor alone costs 60,000 gold coins! ”

As he spoke, Brian felt a pain in his flesh.

When he first became deputy commander, Katelius told him that the regiment needed to replenish some of its heavy armor.

And the money for this part of the heavy armor was paid by Brian.

At that time, it was probably necessary to replenish the heavy armor of the three brigades, which cost Brian 20,000 gold coins.

From that moment on, Brian had murderous intent on Katius.

“Well, the military appearance is still quite strict, why do you only have three soldiers? Are there no other auxiliary classes? ”

However, Malleus looked and soon discovered the problem of the 13th Legion.

Standard ancient Roman tri-column phalanx.

The first column, composed of young soldiers, armed with short swords and large shields.

The second column, formed by prime-aged soldiers, armed with short swords and large shields.

The third column, composed of elderly soldiers, armed with spears and large shields.

Other than that, there are no auxiliary classes.

In fact, the XIII Corps were made up of auxiliary arms.

However, some time ago, the death rate of the legion was too high.

Brian had already placed the auxiliaries in the triple.

It must be to throw away all auxiliary forces, and now the 13th Legion only has 9 brigades.

“Little Brian, you can’t do this, the auxiliary class is also very important!”

Gaiusmalio said.

“Since Lord Mario is here, I plan to reorganize my armament in the near future, and then I will be bothered with Lord Marius’s guidance!”

In fact, Brian intends to expand the corps.

Now that the entire corps is less than 5,000 people, Brian intends to expand it to 8,000.

“This is the legion of the Republic!!!”

The brothers of the Red Earl’s mercenary regiment looked at the soldiers under Brian in amazement.

The momentum is by no means ordinary mercenaries may be better than you.

Although in the eyes of Malleus, the XIII Legion left much to be desired.

But in the eyes of these mercenaries, it is definitely the elite of the elite. _
