Let the soldiers get rich, why bother about the life and death of others - Ancient Roman Emperor Severus

————————————————————————————

Two days have passed since Adiana became a guest. Now that she has restored her noble status, she will naturally no longer mix with the soldiers and camp slaves. Even Poti left with Nessa.

Karabis probably thought that the princess had completely forgotten him. At this time, he was wrapped in a blanket, eating dark bread ground from einkorn wheat, drinking the wine promised by the Third Army before the war, and sitting Resting on the trench ridge of the military camp, thank God, I finally don’t have to eat barley rice. Since the victory in Sophiny, the food of the legion, from the officers to the slaves, has been improved a lot.

In the ditch at his feet, Hebrida was digging in the mud with his bare buttocks humming. His back was covered with scars, not caring about the weather that was getting colder every day. This was also his punishment. The remaining soldiers of the Third Regiment and the camp slaves were inserting sharpened wooden stakes in the trench to serve as a deer camp.

The weather was really cold. Karabis scratched his messy hair that had not been washed for a long time. It was winter now, and the cold air blowing from the Taurus Mountains would sting his throat even if he took two breaths.

"Hey, Hybrida, you dig trenches like a dog." Opposite, Arminius and Safano stood there, joking - but they saw Hybrida raise her head, With an angry look on his face, he wisely closed his mouth. Safano took out a wine bottle from his arms and threw it down. Hebrida caught it, drank it gurglingly, and then asked: "How did you exchange the seizure two days ago?"

"If there are many military dealers, our regiment can at least get this number." Safano raised four fingers, which probably means 40,000 sesterces, "But now there is only one contractor in the entire army,* ** Randomly lowered the price, and finally only got this amount." Safano closed two fingers again, "Hebrida, you are really brave, it's a pity, if you want to successfully get the crown, maybe. You can really get a hundred thousand."

"Luculas, Uterius, the seven unlucky legions." Hebrida cursed, spitting into the ditch, and then asked: "How are these two distributed now?" At that moment, he suddenly found Calabis sitting next to him. He immediately picked off a piece of stinky mud from his buttocks and hit Calabis in the face with a "pop". A centurion is a centurion, and he can throw javelins accurately. The stinky mud is also very accurate.

"Get away, pig," the former centurion said simply and angrily.

Calabis wiped the mud from the corners of his eyes, and his cheeks were sore. If he had been in the era he was in, he would have been angry a long time ago, but he was still calm-minded and understood his current situation, so he hurriedly walked away. The body moved obediently to a place five meters away.

Hebrida was very angry and said something to Arminius and Safano in a fast and fierce tone.

At this moment, there was a melodious sound of trumpets, and on the bridge over the ditch of the camp next to them, a row of flag-bearers holding the logo of the Eleventh Legion filed out from the gate of the camp.

"What the hell is going on?" Highbrida in the ditch raised her head and shouted to the flag officers on the bridge. There was a man in the opponent's queue who was wearing gorgeous armor and was covered in gold and silver ornaments. The centurion in the multi-colored horsehair helmet raised his finger contemptuously at Hebrida and shouted back: "Women of the Seventh Legion, the glory of conquering Tegraseta below belongs to our Eleventh Legion, you just follow Maybe we can share some of the remaining loot behind our butts.”

"This is the chief centurion of the Eleventh Legion. He is worthy of being a direct descendant of Tuna Luculas. We are the ones who endure hardships before the sweets." Arminius squinted his eyes full of crow's feet. said sarcastically.

"Asshole!" Hebrida scratched her butt in annoyance, unable to do anything.

At this time, several heralds on the tower of the village gate shouted to the people below: "Who is from the Third Regiment? The commander called, the auxiliary Hebrida, the camp slave Demetrius, and the slave Calabi The three of you have something to inquire about."

Hebrida's face turned pale. It must be Karabia, no, the princess Adiana, this little girl, joined him in front of Luculas! It's really over now.

"Calabis, bastard Calabis, I should have chopped you and that little bitch into pieces in Karabi's palace a long time ago! Right, you were the one who informed the superiors, right? It would be better for you to collude with that little bitch Come and harm me, huh?" Along the way, Hebrida, who was still naked, continued to threaten and push Karabis, and the crotch kept shaking. Bisi had no choice but to say something he couldn't bear to see and hear.

When Hebrida, who was naked, covered with mud and scars, walked into Luculas' tent with a golden eagle hanging on it, it caused embarrassment to all the men and women attending the banquet. Calabis saw Adiana sitting on the luxurious blanket in the guest room. At this moment, she was wearing a pure white striped dress with a scallop-shaped upper body, a gray mink scarf on her shoulders, chestnut hair like clouds, and her whole body was dazzling. Her jewelry is radiant, her eyes are flowing, and she is charming. She is no longer the dirty and poisoned little girl she was back then.

But she still had the same bad temper, and when they entered she was arguing with Luculas.

"With your army's supplies and numbers, it was a fluke to win in Sofia. The Armenian king is more powerful than that. He still has a large number of successor troops to join the war. It is better for your army to withdraw early. A balanced armistice agreement will be of great benefit to Pontus, Rome and Armenia."

Luculus elegantly crossed his fingers and dragged his chin, looking at the excited Adiana slowly, as if looking at his naughty daughter. Claudius ate the fat roast piece by piece, staring at Nessa who was also full of lust across from him, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her piece by piece. The two of them sent each other ** messages in the air.

"My dear brother-in-law, Babulius Claudius, what do you think of the princess's opinion just now?" Luculus suddenly asked.

Claudius was caught off guard and could only laugh dryly and perfunctorily: "Brother-in-law, I am only the captain of the governor's cavalry. It is not convenient for me to speak on such strategic issues."

Luculus laughed contemptuously, and Adiana raised her wine glass and said meaningfully: "Perhaps Lord Claudius would be more willing to discuss this topic with my aunt afterwards."

Just when everyone was about to explode, Hebrida and three others came in.

"Low-rank centurion, who allowed you to look like this in front of the distinguished guests!" Luculus sat in an armchair, facing the naked Hebrida, and asked unhappily.

"My most respected commander, I have been stripped of my position and am only an auxiliary soldier. This appearance is also a punishment for me by military law. Just as you said, the army has its own rules." Since he knew that it was dangerous, Hebrida opened his mouth and spoke without thinking.

Luculas's face became even gloomier. He lowered his voice and asked Adiana beside him: "I heard that the princess lived among these three people before?"

"Yes - I am not afraid of publicity. Compared with my father who lived in the dense forest and wilderness with wild beasts when he was a child, I only feel that fate has favored me." Adiana's tone was very calm, and she didn't even look at Carabis.

"Then." Luculas' tone suddenly became stern, "I have a question, is it that Hebrida hid your mother's crown in advance, or is it that the princess is smart and has kept your mother's relics privately until now?"

"It's over!" Hebrida looked at Adiana, subconsciously scratched her two drooping "balls", remembered the poisonous oath she made under the city of Amisus, and secretly complained.
