"Usopp." Ellie spoke in Roman to the pair of Roman patrol soldiers who had come to interrogate her.

"Usopp." After confirming that Ellie's password was correct, the Roman soldiers saluted Ellie, and then dodged aside with the entire patrol force to make way for Ellie.

Seeing that the Roman troops blocking the road in front of him gave way at this time, Zhang Juntai's heart could be regarded as relieved. Then he quietly let go of the hilt of the sword that was hiding on his body, and followed Ellie towards the hinterland of the Roman military camp.

"The road under our feet, which the Romans called Vipradonia, was one of the three main roads in the barracks. The main road leads to the camp and ends at the camp of the Roman commander. The main road we had just crossed was called Viplynch Paris, and it was a main road that separated the barracks of ordinary soldiers from the camp of the commander. It can be said that now we have officially left the ordinary soldiers' camp in the Roman camp and entered their commander's camp. Ellie was relieved to see that she had finally successfully passed through the last line of defense of the Roman patrolling army, and that there was no other obstacle between herself and the Roman commander's tent. Then after looking around at no one, he lowered his voice and explained to Zhang Juntai.

It's not so much an explanation as an introduction. After all, as the princess of the Western Roman Empire, Ellie never gave up learning what she should learn even when she was running around with the caravan and wandering. Therefore, wouldn't it be humiliating if, as the heir of the orthodox emperor of the Romans, could not easily handle the establishment of his own army and barracks?

So at this time, Ellie came to the Roman barracks, and introduced everything in the Roman barracks to Zhang Juntai as if she had returned to her own home: "Look at that open space, it is the square where the entire military camp is temporarily assembled, and it is also the place where the commander mobilized the whole army before the war. And then you look at the other clearing that corresponds to it. Ah, what was an empty space before, now it is piled up with provisions. What is stacked there is the supply of the whole army, and there are financial officers who accompany the army to make unified arrangements for statistics. Two places parallel to the periphery of these two places are the camps of the two elite soldiers, and the elite soldiers stationed in these two camps are the guards of the commander of the army. In addition, stationed in the square, directly opposite the commander's tent and the place next to the storage and itching, there is also a position of more than 100 Roman feet, and these three elite soldiers are stationed in the middle of the commander's tent. When the Roman Empire was still strong, there was no army that had been able to successfully defend the commander's tent in the hundreds of years that had been able to make these elite soldiers fight to defend the commander's tent. ”

Zhang Juntai also nodded after hearing this, what he had seen and heard along the way made him have a new view of the Roman army in front of him. At first, when he heard that he was going to face an army of slaves, the first thing that came to Zhang Juntai's mind was the slave soldiers under the Shang King. But at this time, I was personally caught in the camp, and then I realized that my previous opinion seemed to be a little extreme. The army in front of him, even if it is placed in the Central Plains, can definitely rank among the top three in the camp. Compared to this Roman legion, the Sassanid and Western Turkic camps in the south became a child's joke. Patrolling troops at short intervals, night passwords that vary from area to area for each patrolling army, and so on are enough to give anyone who wants to infiltrate the barracks a headache. If his party hadn't received the information provided by the night owls lurking in the camp in advance, they would have already been captured by the Romans on the spot.

"Your Highness, the tent in front of you is where our commander lives. He usually works late here, and today is no exception. He can be said to be the most heavily defended place in the entire barracks, do you want me to go and branch out the soldiers guarding the front door of the camp first, and you take this opportunity to sneak into the tent? After a short time on the way, the Roman soldier whispered to Ellie.

"It's okay, since we're able to get here safely, it means that your commander wants to talk to me too. Otherwise, with such a thorough patrol and patrol system in the camp, we would have discovered that we were Han infiltrators, and you would have waited in front of the camp gate in a while, and I would have entered the camp with the general and had a good talk with your commander. After Ellie finished speaking to the Roman soldiers, she said to Zhang Juntai in Chinese that he should follow him into the camp. Zhang Juntai naturally did not have any excuses, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, as Ellie had guessed, after arriving at the camp gate, the soldiers guarding the camp gate ignored all three of them. So in addition to leaving the Roman soldier to stand guard in front of the door with the two Roman soldiers guarding the commander's tent, Ellie and Zhang Juntai directly entered the commander's tent without hesitation.

Inside the tent was a man in full armor sitting behind a large table with a map covered in Latin letters. At the top of the map were the swords and helmets worn by the man behind the table, and in addition, Zhang Juntai also looked around the camp and found that there was no second person.

"Are you Heras Curt, the commander of this Roman legion?" Ellie was the first to speak at this point, breaking the silence in the tent.

"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to know my name, which really flattered me. As you say, I am the commander-in-chief of this Roman legion, Heras Curt. You sent someone to tell me that you wanted to talk to me about something, now can you just say it to your face? The Roman commander sat behind his desk and looked at Ellie as she smiled at him.

"House Curt. If the history of the empire is not wrong, your family was originally in the Senate during the Republic. Later, after the Senate elected Octavian, the first citizen, your family should have given up the seat in the Senate and instead served as a legion commander in the Gallic theater for Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. Ellie said slowly, looking at Heras Curt, whose face gradually changed from smile to shock, and asked Heras Curt with the same smile.
