Old Sword Master

He just arranged the camp, and then came to eat with Antioch III.

He seems to be a bit wrong with Wood and the three of them. Wood guessed that some of the Atolian city-state alliances belong to different factions. Of course, the face is not a face, and the nose is not a nose. The key is that this revolving crossbow is indeed a bit highly anticipated. In the camp where the Seleucids were sent, some officers were having dinner with guests from the Atolian Alliance, and most of the officers and soldiers also received a particularly generous supply of food.

Everyone knows that this is a sign that the battle is approaching, but the officers and soldiers are not very worried. They have followed Antioch III and have not defeated the war for many years. The number of Seleucids who came this time is not large. They are all elite soldiers. Everyone is familiar with it. This is a terrain that can’t be lost.

Most ordinary officers and soldiers have also heard that it is the place where the 300 Spartan warriors delayed the hundred thousand Persian army for 3 days. Now there are more than 10000 people on their own side and only more than 2 people on the enemy side. It must be ok to stick to the pass.

However, some mid- and high-level officers are a little worried about the famous commanders of the Latin Barbarian Race. From time to time, someone mentions that old Cato who has a simple life but is very good at fighting.

It didn’t rain for a while, and the camp was very dry. No one noticed that two Nether Soul wolves got into the camp. They came from the Atolian camp not far away.

The peeper in the 100th chapter 70 camp (part 1)

In the dark night, Manius and Lucius, who had just drunk a portion of the Roman wolf mother (Milk nǎi), took a Hundred Men Squad, and were on a hillside observing the Atolian city-state on the opposite side. Alliance barracks.

“The camp is well set up, better than the Gaul Barbarian Race and ordinary Carthaginians, and much worse than Hannibal.”

“Where is the path where the Persians went to the back of the hot spring gate 300 years ago?”

“Invisible, but both the scouts and Cato said that there is indeed a way, but it is much narrower than the front of Wenquan Pass, and you must repel the enemies on the two sides of the hill.

It was already dark, and Lucius could not see the trail that led to the defeat of the Spartan Warriors.

“This kind of investigation is enough. None of us has carefully read the history of war. There are no other tricks to play.” Manius held a wooden beam stick symbolizing the authority of the consul, “Can’t delay, although our navy It is dominant, but the sea area of ​​the Byzantine tribe to the east is too narrow, and Antiochus III can deploy more reinforcements.”

Lucius looked at the barracks opposite and said: “In fact, Antioch III had a large army, but they did not have the right to dominate the sea. It is almost impossible to transfer troops from Syria and Mesopotamia.”

“The Macedonians still have some strength after all. Cooperating with us is just forced to be helpless. It will be bad for them to delay too long.” Manius is actually not sure how many people can be brought by Antiochus III, but he As the incumbent consul, it is impossible not to take the initiative to attack when there is a military advantage. When the Roman Republic has a numerical advantage, except for Hannibal to prevent them from attacking, they are not afraid of anything at other times. They often defeated several times their own. Gaul or Spanish Barbarian Race, “We now have a 3 to one advantage.”

“But the hills on trail 2 are really hard to attack.” Lucius was not very confident.

“It’s better than the cliff on the second side of Hot Spring Pass, Lucius, just like Zama. Let’s let these arrogant Greeks see the majesty of the Romans together. We are the masters of the world!” Manius Obviously they were veterans who had participated in the decisive battle of Zama. Together, they defeated perhaps one of the strongest soldiers in human history and determined the fate of 2 years around the Mediterranean.

The communication between the two commanders is very peaceful and close. Although the relationship between the superior and the subordinate is clear, the incumbent consul Manius has the final decision and absolute authority, but there is no high or low attitude. Lucius has military power as the outgoing consul. It’s not as good, but there is no difference in the ranks within the nobility.

Lucius nodded, and shook his head again: “Look at what Cato said? His Nether Soul wolf is our most reliable eye.”

Behind them, Cato is protected by a Hundred Men Squad alone, hiding on the side closest to the Roman barracks. He closed his eyes and sat on a large rock, but his body was straight, as if he was not in a desolate. In the hills and a group of big-head soldiers engaged in the investigation of the former enemy, but in the Elder’s Council in Rome, preparing to debate with other elders.

Hearing Lucius’ words, Cato opened his eyes slightly, watching his colleagues speak with respect, although it was a bit of pressure on him, now he has two patterns in his mind, one is a colleague and a guard in the mountains. , One is the enemy drinking in the barracks.

“You can fight, and you must fight.” Cato’s voice was very serious. At this time, he did not repeat the political proposal to completely destroy the Carthage Republic, so as not to affect the judgment of his colleagues.

“Why?” Lucius asked cautiously. “Their camp is badly arranged?”

The Aetolians have always been robbers in Greece. Their troops are known to be good at raiding and plundering. The Romans expected that their defense and camp would not be so reliable.

“The camp of Aetolia is also good internally, but it is not a whole inside. There are many dialects, and several city-states are also very conflicted because of the spoils of war looted not long ago. The leaders of several small city-states There are many grievances against the big city-states, and the big city-states are thinking about how to consume and annex the small city-states.” Lao Cato was the first person among the Romans to insist on writing and recording entirely in Latin, but in fact his Greek is very good. , And his Nether Soul wolf can run wild and hear many private words, “I can even distinguish several city-states in Aetolia through their meals and dialects. There is a city-state’s soldiers against Aetoli. The Alliance Leader of Asia is very dissatisfied, claiming that even the food quality is poor. This should be nonsense. I think the meat is good, but the resentment is real.”

Cato continued: “We want to attack, and indeed should attack immediately,”

The two senior Roman officials listened to Cato attentively.

“And the language problem doesn’t exist in Antioch’s camp. The common people’s language changes are various, but the nobles can communicate without hindrance. Their Greek dialects are very standard. I can seem to hear Homer recite poetry. “However, Cato suddenly had some emotional changes. He had thick hair growing on his armored arm, and long canine teeth drilled out of his mouth. “Their language is so beautiful, it’s so beautiful.”

Manius made a gesture to the two captains of 2, and then one person went to fetch a big pot of wolves (奶nǎi) and a few people who were tied up, and one person organized his subordinates to adjust the formation to match the uniform of the officer. Figure.

“In my opinion, Carthage must be completely destroyed.” Fortunately, Cato did not deteriorate further, he suddenly shouted his favorite slogan, and then the inhuman hair gradually began to fade, and he continued.” Even the Greek of Swordsman from the city-state of Aetolia is very beautiful. They are all Greeks after all. After too long a delay, they are likely to oppose us together.” Cato added, and then he closed His eyes describe another scene he saw through the Nether Soul wolf. “Antioch III was a confident, intelligent, and charismatic monarch. Perhaps compared to his ancestors, the founder of the Seleucid Empire was also Not much inferior…”

…

Antiochus III would be very happy if he knew that he had received such a high evaluation from Cato, and he and his men would evaluate Cato in the same way.

“Manius and Lucius are both strong. The former is the best commander. Not only can they fight the enemy, but they can also protect their subordinates. Lucius can heal wounded soldiers. They are very popular among soldiers. Respect, but the most difficult thing to deal with is Cato, not only because of his strength, but also because of his character. He is the favorite of the Roman wolf mother.” The secretary of Antioch III was reporting to him, “He was The Elder’s Council in Rome accused Scipio, who defeated Hannibal, and conquered Scipio in Africa, claiming that he and his men were not frugal enough and demanded that they refrain from using the anointing of the Roman people, even Scipio, who returned from victory. He also has to accept his financial inspection. Of course, Cato’s review is more lenient.”

“No matter how lenient the censorship is, these Romans are probably not Barbarian Race.” Antioch III had a great respect for the system of the Roman Republic. “This Cato dares to be so disgusted with Scipio…”

“He got a lot of evidence of spoils of war and false reports of loss by the people of Scipio. It is said that several of the people had even dug up what they said to Scipio alone, and then they doubted each other, so they could only serve as taint witnesses “The secretary said in an admiring tone, “Of course Scipio is fine himself, but his wings have been cut off by Cato.”

This secretary is also Chief-In-Charge of Antioch III’s intelligence agency. After a long time, a big Old Hu can’t be defeated. Those arrogant soldiers will not be afraid of your review. Everyone is together on the battlefield. How can you betray you to a bastard if you have cut someone?

This Jiatu is amazing.

“If you divide the spoils of war privately and falsely report the loss, can you catch a real hammer?” Antioch III was also shocked. He was very interested in how this matter was done, but he respected Gato more. “If Cato is on the line, you cooperate with me to attack with all your magic immediately.”

In a world with Spiritual God and magic, morality is likely to be a more direct force. Antiochus III cannot help but be alarmed. The gods worshipped by the Greeks have not responded directly to them for a long time.

“Your Majesty, you have to take care of your body.” His secretary reminded, “Will you worship the main god Zeus again tomorrow morning?”

Antiochus III was just nodded.

At this time, he suddenly heard a quarrel, and his secretary said in his ear: “The Aetolians are arguing, and the commander-in-chief of Canosottoa is sternly reprimanding the mage who can’t fix the revolving crossbow, his young The companion argued a few words and was scolded by the commander.”

Antiochus III laughed and shook his head.

“Oh, it’s not easy to send weapons over such a long road, you commander, don’t be harsh.” Antioch III appeased the commander of the Atolian city-state alliance, and smiled and waved to the little Bazin. “That machine is so sophisticated at first glance, and it will be repaired tomorrow. I guess your Excellency Morty mage is also tired. This dead wheat flour and (奶nǎi) cheese are the most calming and calming. If the Romans understand that they don’t attack, Then repair it for another day, and it will definitely be repaired.”

Antioch III speaks like a breeze (春chūn). After speaking, he raised the cup in his hand. A slave immediately poured Morty a glass of Antioch III’s own wine.
