Have You Considered Xinyue to Be a Military Division?

"Yeah, I'm bound to be very disappointed..."

Chapter 110 Chapter [-] Can't Think of a Chapter Name

Hundreds of supply trucks drilled out of the gate of London City, and the material resources were continuously transported from the city to the military camp.

In the distance, on the watchtower made of logs, the guard glanced down and saw the convoy advancing towards him along the undulating road, so he waved down.

"Let go!"

Hearing this, the captain of the guard under the overpass opened the first gate to let the luggage team go out.

This was a scene that the citizens of London had never seen before. Not long after the Imperial Guards joined forces with the [-]th Army, the state of combat readiness had accelerated.

A curfew was imposed inside the city, and layers of fortifications were erected outside the city.

Heavy troops set up numerous checkpoints on the roads that must pass through London. Engineers built a huge overpass within a few days. Dozens of archers held hands on the overpass, and the captain of the guard guarded the gate under the bridge.

The sharpened wooden stakes are arranged, and the spearmen and archers behind them guard in shifts. Behind the line of defense, the camp stretches for kilometers.

Hundreds of campfires rose from them, and smoke rose from them. Around the campfires, heavily armed soldiers sat beside tents and sharpened their weapons. Flagpoles were inserted into the muddy ground. Flags with red background and gold borders fluttered in the wind above the soldiers' heads.

"It's really spectacular." Standing at the top of the city, Bruce had a panoramic view of the entire barracks.

He spoke words of admiration, but there was no sign of praise on his face. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Paulinus behind him.

"Your Excellency, you shouldn't blame me for transferring the [-]th Army out of the city, right?"

Bruce asked expressionlessly: "After all, there is no room for the Praetorian Guards in the city, and heavy guards are needed outside the city, and you know the big men of the Praetorian Guards. They stay in Rome all year round and are used to enjoying themselves. It's..."

Paulinus glanced at him: "Now you are the commander of the Fourteenth Legion."

Bruce stared at him for a moment, and after finding that there was no rebellious emotion, he twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded, "That's right."

Paulinus looked away, not looking into Bruce's eyes, and was silent for a moment: "So what are you going to do now?"

Bruce froze for a moment, his face darkened, he wiped his body, and waved his hand: "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the city.

Paulinus hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the military camp below the city, pursed his lips, hummed softly, and followed Bruce with strides.

Not far from the city was an inn. Under the signboard stood two guards in red robes and gold helmets, one on the left and the other on the right guarding the door of the inn.

Seeing the arrival of Bruce and Paulinus, the guard immediately stood at attention and raised his arms in salute.

Bruce ignored it and walked straight into the store.

Paulinus nodded and followed.

There was no one in the store, all the wine tables were emptied, and the entire room was transformed into a command office.

A sand table, a huge map, piled up files, a fireplace burning next to it, and the lights stay on all night.

Bruce changed his expression as soon as he came, his eyebrows were locked, and his lips were extremely thin.

"I've thought about it for a long time..." He turned and sat down, haggard flashing in his eyes.

Paulinus stood in front of him with his hands behind his back and his head slightly lowered, signaling that he was listening.

"We must not leak the news of the emperor's disappearance!" Bruce tapped the table with his finger, making a rattling sound.

"So, how many people know now?" Paulinus asked.

"Just you and me, the other soldiers thought that the emperor was on the road. In order to keep the emperor's whereabouts secret, I didn't tell the others about this strategy."

Bruce said, "But luckily..."

Pretend to be smart.

Paulinus thought, and then asked: "Then how can we save the emperor on the basis of not leaking the news?"

"This is a problem. I plan to send someone to negotiate and redeem the emperor."

Bruce said sternly: "Didn't you recognize that the flag at the scene came from that...Tri Hano tribe? Let's go to the leader of that tribe and negotiate terms with him!"

"The tribe of Trinovent, the leader is Epos."

"Yes, just find him and tell him that I will meet all his needs, as long as I return the emperor."

Paulinus frowned: "But I must remind you that even if we find the flag of Epos's tribe at the scene, we cannot be sure that he did it."

"What is there to be sure about?"

Bruce was dissatisfied: "Do you mean this flag or someone else threw it down and planted that Epos?"

"How can a normal person leave a mark when doing such a thing?" Paulinus said.

"Oh, I get it......"

Bruce sneered: "You think that god made a mess again, don't you?"

Paulinus was silent for a moment, frowning: "I didn't say that!"

Bruce looked at him for a long time, with a delicate expression, and finally waved his hand: "I don't blame you, you sit down first."

It's really uncomfortable to be spoken in such a tone by someone younger than myself.

Paulinus twitched his lips and didn't sit down.

Bruce was not there: "In short, regardless of what that god wants to do, let's solve the most important problem at hand first."

"emperor?"

"Yes, we must first ensure the emperor's safety!"

Bruce nodded: "Otherwise, if something happens to Nero, even if we kill all the barbarians in Britain, we will be in bad luck when we return to Rome."

Unless, you can bring troops back to Rome like Caesar...

thought Paulinus, but his lips did not answer him.

"It's not glory, it's not dignity, Paulinus!"

Bruce had a serious expression: "We must ensure the emperor's safety, because it is about our lives and the safety of our family!"

family......

Paulinus bowed his head, the word finally crushing his pride.

Indeed, for the sake of the family, for the sake of his family and his own future, he must first rescue the emperor.

"So in this case, we can't rush to send troops, because we don't know what stupid things those barbarians will do!"

Bruce went on to say: "Let's send people to contact first to find out the other party's attitude. Is it going to hold the emperor hostage to negotiate, or is it going to kill the demonstrators?"

"If we intend to negotiate, shall we satisfy their conditions for the time being?" Paulinus said lightly.

"Yes, and then we will do the liquidation afterwards, anyway, we can get back what was sent out." Bruce showed a satisfied expression.

"Then what if they plan...to do something to the emperor?" Paulinus thought about his words.

"This......"

Bruce hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't thought of it yet."

"Want to hear my opinion, Bruce... my lord." Paulinus smirked.

"Say."

"I really feel that whether it is to negotiate or go to war, we must not show a weak attitude!"

Paulinus shook his voice: "If there is a negotiation, we will meet their conditions and then settle the matter afterwards.

And if the other party refuses, I will first gather a group of soldiers with strong martial arts skills to sneak into the enemy's city, and then we will attack from the outside to attract attention, and those soldiers will take the opportunity to rescue the emperor. "

Bruce held his chin, thought for a long time, and nodded: "It can indeed be considered."

Paulinus did not respond.He is confident that his method is the best choice.

The sound was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the room fell into a long silence.

Suddenly the store door was knocked open, and the deputy general rushed in hastily.

"I told no one to come in!" Bruce yelled, standing up abruptly.

The lieutenant gasped violently: "But, but someone came...a silver-haired man...say, say yes..."

"What are you talking about!" Bruce yelled.

Silver hair!

Paulinus, on the other hand, seemed to have moved his DNA, and instantly grasped the key words.

The lieutenant swallowed hard: "It is said that the emperor was found, and he specially sent it to us..."

Chapter 111 Chapter 110

In the afternoon of early spring, the sun was fierce.

The hotel under the city, the place of the military plane, the atmosphere is tense and confronting each other.

Paulinus and Bruce stood side by side, staring at the door in unison, and silent in unison.

The door was opening, and a handsome man stood in the sunlight, with silver hair and black eyes, and a faint smile.

And behind him, the guarding warrior's eyes were shining, and the blue background flag was raised in his hand, making a sound in the wind.

The eyes of the two were a little sharp, but the man was unmoved at all. He patted his gray robe, and with a smile on his lips, he bowed his hands in salute.

"I am the envoy of Boudica, Queen of Issene, Neos." He said in a clear and gentle voice.

"Messenger?" Bruce twitched the corner of his mouth, a little sarcastically.

Paulinus looked behind him and fell into an eerie silence.

"Exactly, I am here to greet the arrival of the general of the empire by the order of Her Lady Queen."

Neos bowed politely: "Lord Bruce is indeed a peerless figure, as others have said."

Joy flashed in Bruce's eyes, and his chin raised slightly: "Oh, an envoy from a small tribe has even heard my name. Who did you hear it from?"
