"Yes."

After the conversation with Dan Zang came to an end, Shuoyue closed his eyes and called out the Atlas of Destiny.

"Mr. Xiaoming, take me back to the second singularity."

[Received, transfer started]

With a feeling of weightlessness, Shuoyue's soul was once again lifted up infinitely and plunged into a point in the vast universe.

[Has entered the second singularity, time allowed to return: three days! ]

Chapter 241: The Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts and the Roman Army

Pisa, Roman Empire

In the commander's tent, the general with bloodshot eyes opened his eyes.

The full head of white hair did not bring a sense of old age. On the contrary, the aura lingering around him made people feel creepy.

"Soldier." The man casually called over the Roman soldier guarding the entrance to the tent. "What time is it now? No need to elaborate, just give a general idea."

"Yes!" The young soldier on sentry came in with agile steps and reported, "We camped here last night, and now it is noon of the second day."

Only half a day had passed? He had been in the magical girl world for three full days!

The man, that is, Shuoyue who "woke up" was thoughtful.

"Xiao Ming classmate?"

[Additional explanation: The passage of time in different time and space is not parallel, but each has its own rules and fluctuates within a certain baseline value.]

"I understand. This means that the speed of time in the two worlds is not fixed, right?"

[Correct answer]

After getting the explanation, Shuoyue looked at the young soldier in front of him, and suddenly recalled the knowledge about the Roman Empire’s army that he had taken the time to study in the magical girl world.

There are four types of Roman soldiers. The first type is young soldiers or light infantry. They are the youngest, the most flexible and agile, but the most lacking in training. The second type is young soldiers. They are slightly older and more experienced. The third type is middle-aged soldiers. Their average age is about 30 years old. They are mature, tenacious, and experienced. They are the backbone of the entire army. The fourth type is adult soldiers. They are the oldest, mature and stable.

Of course, there were also mercenaries from other places, such as the Balearic slingers and archers from the Aegean region, who often cooperated with the young soldiers of the ancient Roman army.

Based on this knowledge point, it is easy for us to realize the problem:

First of all, although the lovely Majesty Nero said that he would use the legion to "supervise" the new moon, in fact, this was nothing more than his way of transferring military power in disguise. When allocating troops, Nero also put on the red robe symbolizing the military governor, that is, representing the army commander, in front of a group of non-commissioned officers.

Secondly, out of concern that he would be discovered if he disappeared, Shuoyue, the supreme commander of the legion, ordered others not to guard the door of his tent before leaving this world. However, when he returned today, there were soldiers standing guard at the door.

In the end, the soldier standing at the door turned out to be the young soldier with the weakest combat effectiveness in the legion - compared to guarding the door, Shuoyue always felt that supervision had more meaning.

"Did the airborne governor really cause resistance from the nobles and the Senate?" Shuo Yue whispered to himself with a smile.

During the Principate period when Nero was in power, the supreme commander of the army was no longer the consul, but the principal. However, not every principal was willing to lead his troops into battle personally. Therefore, the governor appointed by the principal to take office in the principal's province (meaning the emperor's special envoy) became the most common commander of the Roman army.

The governor who possessed military power and was directly appointed by Augustus (Nero) was also called the "principal's agent" because he was directly responsible to Augustus himself and could directly contact the highest authority of the Roman Empire.

Shuoyue went from being an airborne servant to becoming such a powerful figure, which can be said to be a rapid rise to fame.

It is precisely because of this that the original commander of this legion must have been dissatisfied for a long time, right?

After all, in the time of Augustus, officers of the legion and the Guards were all senators and knights, and ordinary soldiers could not be promoted to senior positions in the legion. At most, they could only hold the higher position of centurion in the legion. Only those from the nobility and knightly class could serve as senior officers.

A governor like Shuoyue, who was appointed and dismissed directly by the emperor, undoubtedly took advantage of some people's interests, such as the original commander of the legion.

The two young soldiers stationed at the door of his tent were a provocation from the former commander: he could mobilize the soldiers on his own initiative today, and tomorrow he could lead the soldiers loyal to him to mutiny and replace Shuoyue, a guy in name only.

Nero, Nero, you really gave me a big problem. "

Shuoyue muttered to himself disrespectfully and walked out of the tent.

Only half a day after the army arrived in Pisa, trenches had been dug around the barracks, and the excess earth was piled close to the fence posts to increase the thickness and strength of the fence.

Thousands of soldiers, led by the centurions, received bread, fat and bacon from the treasurer in an orderly manner, enjoying a rare lunch time. When they saw the new moon passing by, they put down the food in their hands and saluted respectfully.

After several generations of improvement and evolution, the legions of the Augustan period became increasingly professional and had their own unique features in every detail of marching and fighting.

"Governor!" Not far away, the scout who was sent by Shuoyue to gather information hurriedly swallowed the bread in his mouth and trotted over, while the white-haired young man waved his hand casually, motioning him to follow.

"What's your name, soldier?"

"Yes, my name is Vadim Rosario!" The middle-aged man, who was once Nero's guard and served as the commander of the New Moon, but then voluntarily resigned and voluntarily downgraded to an army scout, knocked his chest and hid the fanaticism in his eyes.

"Well, Rosario, I look forward to the information you bring."

"As ordered!"

After a brief detour and giving enough hints, Shuoyue took Rosario back to the general's tent.

The news that the governor had woken up and returned to the tent with the patrol was passed on by some people and finally reached someone at the other end of the camp.

"I headed north along the Mediterranean coast. Before the stars appeared, I found the enemy's ships stranded on the coast and their camps. Then I went deep into the land and followed the enemy's transport team when the morning star appeared. I found traces of them hiding in the village."

As Rosario spoke, he took out two roughly drawn topographic maps.

"The first camp was not heavily guarded, so I recorded detailed intelligence. However, the second stronghold was heavily guarded. The patrol team's route was too tight, so I didn't dare to move forward. I could only roughly write down the general information. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, you've done well enough." Shuoyue responded casually, but unexpectedly Rosario suddenly became excited and responded loudly:

“Thank you for your recognition!”

"Yeah." Shuoyue looked at the uncle with dark circles under his eyes and a gleam of piety in his eyes, and couldn't help but twitching his lips.

The spiritual foundation he possessed was indeed from that famous general. After he had only temporarily taken over Nero's Guards for a period of time, some soldiers gave up their original favorable conditions and were willing to serve under him as a soldier who had to sleep in the open air.

It's not just this uncle. As far as Shuoyue knows, there are dozens of people who resigned from the Guards and voluntarily downgraded themselves to become legion soldiers!

You know, those who are qualified to become the Emperor's Guards are either soldiers with outstanding military achievements or nobles with distinguished family backgrounds!

The reason for this situation was not because Shuoyue's tiger body shook and exuded a kingly aura, but it came from a skill in the Servant's spiritual base:

[Ten Sages of the Martial Temple: A]

As a famous general ranked in the Temple of Martial Arts, this Avenger embodies the hatred and admiration of countless people. It is also a passive permanent skill that combines the command and loyal advice of a strategist servant.

The so-called command and loyal advice are the standard configuration of military advisors, and are also the reason why a certain Zhuge Kongming had to work overtime all night - 'the command of the military advisor' and 'the loyal advice of the military advisor'.

One of the two skills can analyze the battle situation and give useful suggestions for our situation, while the other can bring out the maximum strength of the soldiers, including yourself. Its role in marching and fighting can be imagined.

The combined skill of the two, [Ten Sages of the Martial Temple], when at A-level, is almost as effective as brainwashing hypnosis.

As long as the legion accepts Shuoyue's command, their loyalty to him will increase at a rate visible to the naked eye, not to mention that Shuoyue also led this group of remnants to defeat the strong with the weak and forced the enemy to flee in panic.

With an awkward cough, Shuoyue picked up the map drawn by the scout this morning and asked:

"Camp No. 1 is the camp stationed on the seashore, and Camp No. 2 is hiding in the village. In your opinion, how many enemy troops are there in these two places?"

"Based on the number of tents, the number of enemies in Camp No. 1 should be around 500, and the number of enemies in Camp No. 2 should be around 2,000."

"Really..." Shuoyue couldn't help but frown.

Logically speaking, since the Roman United Empire, that is, the Roman emperors under the command of Grand Bomber Leif, transported troops by sea, there were two options for the arriving troops:

The first was to set up strongholds at the landing points and station a large number of troops there to prevent Nero from sending troops to capture them. Then, they would advance steadily, build supply lines, and eventually spread the war from point to surface to all parts of the Roman hinterland, making Nero busy and allowing the main battlefield in the Alps to gain more advantages.

The second is to give full play to mobility, break up into small groups at the moment of secret landing, break through the encirclement of the Roman Empire in a covert manner, conduct guerrilla warfare, or sneak into key Roman cities, and finally cooperate with the outside forces when the army arrives to quickly defeat the city's defense forces.

But what about the 500 enemy troops stationed on the coastline reported by the scouts? Even if the first method is adopted, this number is too small, isn't it?

With just the number of a battalion, did the Roman United Empire really think that these troops could hold the stronghold?

Even the Spartan warriors who fought in the bloody battle of Thermopylae could not withstand the iron hoof of the Persian army!

Suddenly, Shuoyue looked at his hands and suddenly realized a possibility.

"Send the order down, notify the first column (four battalions with more than 2,000 people) to prepare. We will set out this afternoon and head for the enemy's second stronghold. Send the others..."

"I disagree!"

Before he could finish his words, there were tit-for-tat voices. Along with the curtain of the general's tent being lifted, a man wearing scale armor and looking extremely heroic strode in and looked at Shuoyue without fear.

"Why don't you go and recapture the landing point of the United Empire? Have you forgotten the order of His Majesty Nero?"

Chapter 242: The Slaughterer's Farewell

As we all know, parachuted bosses always cause dissatisfaction among their subordinates, especially the old people who are closest to this position.

Not to mention Goering Varus - he was the one who was sitting in the commander-in-chief position but was kicked down by Shuoyue.

Even so, he didn't actually feel much resentment in his heart, because he was standing on the city wall and witnessed the scene where Shuoyue defeated a thousand cavalrymen with only a few hundred guards.

Although people are always surrounded by deception and intrigue, in the army, famous generals with both literary and military skills are always respected.

But who made him sit on the Senate side?

When Nero was surrounded, the elders in the Senate had already prepared a puppet emperor to replace him. Even if the empress escaped and wanted to enter the city to defend it, Gorin Varus would deliberately delay the opening of the gate to give the coalition forces more opportunities.

Who could have thought that the young man who fell from the sky would be a famous general who could defeat a larger force with a smaller one?

It was as if the God Romulus wanted to punish him for his sinister intentions. Not long after Nero welcomed the new moon, he was demoted by one rank and became the deputy general of the white-haired young man.

You know, the Senate consumed countless resources and did countless dirty things in order to make him the commander-in-chief, but in the end, it failed because of an inexplicable guy!

After hearing the news, the elders were naturally furious and ordered him to find an opportunity to bring down the new commander-in-chief, and it would be best if they could cut him into pieces to vent their hatred.

There was no choice but to accept the task with reluctance. Then he immediately got ready to contact his old subordinates and wait for the opportunity to act.

No, he got his chance the next day.

Between a military stronghold guarded by only 500 men and an enemy stronghold guarded by 2,000 men, the military stronghold is obviously more valuable and easier to capture.

But the new commander chose to capture the enemy's stronghold!

Of course, Goering Varus more or less understood the reason why the young man made such a choice - if the battle report was slightly modified, the achievement of defeating a regiment of 2,000 people would be much better than that of 500 people. Moreover, if the problem was solved so quickly, the value of the general could not be highlighted.

The enemy was so stupid that they were wiped out in just one battle.

He won every battle and was like a god of war, making the enemy terrified and dare not even take a single step beyond his line.

Which of these two battle outcomes can better publicize the commander's bravery and glory?

The answer is self-evident. Moreover, the reason why Gorin Varus was able to come to power was also the result of letting a weak tribe run wild and clearing it out dozens of times.

Haha... In a sense, my young superior is really a wise man who appears foolish.

It’s a pity that his legion is not on the same page with him.

"I know what you're thinking, young man." He stared at the white-haired young man and sneered, "But as a deputy general, I don't think this is a wise choice."

As if to let everyone in the barracks hear, Goering emphasized his tone and said:

"Are you willing to let thousands of brothers in the legion bleed and sacrifice for your own selfish desires, sir?"

Rosario's face flushed and he opened his mouth to speak, but Shuoyue waved his hand and stopped him.

"I understand your thoughts, Lieutenant General." Since he didn't know the name, he simply used the job title instead. Shuoyue replied halfheartedly, "But I think I have an obligation to remind you that the Roman United Empire's army is not as stupid as you. They only sent 500 people to station there, and they naturally have their reasons."

Don't you think about the famous actors who were playing against Nero - Uncle Caligula, 'Conqueror' Caesar, 'Father of Rome' Romulus... This is a blood-boiling combination skill that was performed by our ancestors. Why does this guy think they can't even see such a flaw?

However, Golin Varus was already so angry at Shuoyue's natural and contemptuous word "stupid" that he lost his mind. He stared at Shuoyue's bloodshot eyes and felt that there was undisguised ridicule in the depths of his eyes.

In his intense emotions, he did not notice the sea of ​​corpses and blood surrounding the young man, nor did he smell the undisguised smell of blood on him - no, perhaps it was because such an illusion was too shocking that this general with great skills in cultivating his Qi quickly lost his mind.

【Human Killer: A+】

There are many famous generals in Chinese history, but there is only one who is called "Man-Butcher".

The mind is as hard as iron and cannot be controlled by the mind.

It has a great pressure on the army. Once it appears, it will cause a serious blow to the morale of the enemy, while the morale of one's own army will be high - in a sense, it can also be regarded as a kind of leadership temperament.

Although humans are very forgetful creatures, the Avenger will never forget - he is following the shadow of the beast that destroyed the lords.

It was precisely because Goering-Vallus was a general that he could sense a deeper fear in this scene.

How many people must be killed before the smell of blood and resentment becomes so strong that it cannot be shaken off? !

What kind of determination does one have to maintain human sanity in the Shura Realm where countless lives are killed? !

"Damn it! Don't get carried away, you guy who relies on women to get to the top!" As if he realized his own gaffe, Goering Varus took a deep breath and stated his purpose in a calm tone.

"In that case, do you dare to challenge me?"

"Competition?" Shuoyue really couldn't help but smile this time.

He had just come up with the idea of ​​digging a hole when this guy had already booked the coffin.
