Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

91 BC

Castile, Red River Valley.

Rome's most elite 13th Legion was stationed here.

On the other side of the Red River Valley is the Tarago tribe, a typical Gallic tribe with a population of 200,000.

Almost all the people are soldiers.

Facing Gaul soldiers dozens of times larger than themselves.

Even the most elite Roman legions did not dare to advance rashly.

"Joining the legion is to make money! Otherwise, I would not want to work for the scumbags of the Senate!"

"Master Brian is right!"

"Those idiots in the Senate are actually forbidden to take the initiative to attack. Don't you know that the fastest way to make money is to catch slaves?"

"Master Brian is right!"

Brian, 23 years old, was dressed in muscular plate armor, riding on a Gallic warhorse, and with black hair and black pupils, he was a standard ancient Roman handsome man.

And behind him is a whole group of ancient Roman soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, the Roman Legion is composed of 10 brigades, each with 400 to 600 people.

And behind Brian is the 1st Battalion of the 13th Legion, with a total of 560 people.

Today Brian ventured into the Red River Valley with a large force.

"Commander Brian! You mobilized the army without authorization, what if the legion commander convicts you?"

Legion Tribune Rex asked cautiously.

After all, Brian led them to the Tarago Tribe.

The Senate of the Roman Academy strictly ordered that without the order of the Senate, no legion could attack indiscriminately.

And Brian obviously deliberately provoked the war.

"Don't mention damned Cateus to me! If it weren't for me, would you have raised wages?'"

Brian looked at Rex, the legion tribune next to him, with a displeased face.

Under his intimidation, Legion Tribune Rex couldn't help lowering his head.

Since the Marian reforms.

The Republic implements the recruitment system, and the state supplies the army.

However, in fact, it is the generals of the legion who supply the army.

These are relatively peaceful times.

There is no war.

There would be no slaves.

Means no substantial income.

The whole legion is in a crumpled life.

More than half of the legion's financial expenses are provided by the Kota family where Brian belongs.

Because of this relationship, Brian also became the deputy commander of the 13th Legion.

"Report! A group of tribal homeless people was found one mile ahead (Romali)! The number is about 300!"

Roma: 1.49 km

A leading soldier who scouted the way ahead came to Brian and said eagerly.

"300 people, even if all of them are caught alive, they won't sell much!"

Brian stroked his smooth chin and said in thought.

Wait a moment.

The Red River Valley is nearly 20 miles long from north to south (Rome.)

And the front is already extremely close to the station of the ancient Roman legion.

What is this little group of Gauls doing here?

"Ding dong! Please choose!"

"1. Let go of the Gaul vagrants, and reward 1 free attribute point."

"2. Kill all Gaul vagrants, and reward 2 free attribute points."

"3, Capture no less than 100 Gaul vagrants, and reward 3 free attribute points."

There are rewards for doing nothing.

It seems that there must be something wrong with these 300 Gaul vagrants.

Did not expect to choose 3.

"Order the whole army to advance, I want to see what they are doing?"

With a flick of his whip, Brian ordered the legion (only one cohort) to move forward.

"Sir Brian, you are taking the initiative to attack, and the legion commander will blame you..."

Before Rex could finish speaking, Brian whipped him.

"Even if the blame comes down, that's my business."

"Also, this is not an active attack, but to defeat the Gaul army that is preparing to attack the Legion."

"If you talk too much, you will be punished as disrupting military discipline and disobedience to command."

Brian snorted softly.

Rex is a standard Roman citizen, and the concept of the Republic is deeply rooted.

But other than that, he is still a qualified soldier.

After about 5 minutes.

The legion quietly advanced to a position 300 meters away from the Gauls.

I saw countless Gauls rummaging through the small rivers in the Red River Valley with some unique tools.

"Master Deputy Legion Commander, what are they doing?"

The chief centurion, Polo, looked at those Gauls and his eyes lit up. They can be sold for money.

But he didn't know what the Gauls were doing.

"They're looking for gold!"

Looking at the skillful movements of those people, Brian understood why they dared to take the risk and approached the Roman legion station. It turned out that there was gold in this unremarkable river.

"gold!"

Hearing the Roman soldiers around the golden Brian, one by one suddenly became excited.

The so-called raging soldiers will raging nests.

During this period of time, Brian led them to plunder the Gauls in private, countless things.

The only difference is that today they are here as Roman legions.

He hadn't planned to let them go, but now that he saw the gold, it was even more impossible for Brian to let them go.

"Polo! Lead your people and touch them quietly! Block their way! Then wait for my order to attack together, and try to catch as many alive as possible!"

"Okay, Legion Commander"

Polo was overjoyed and even called out the head of the legion.

Right now Brian is just the Legion's Deputy Chief.
