"Very well, I'm very happy with your performance so far." Ellie clapped her hands, then stood up and said to the Romans in front of her.

"Your life can stay with you for the time being, because of your wise actions. But if you want to get out of this sea of suffering, what you have done before is far from enough. Just after the Roman soldier's face looked a little better, Ellie did not hesitate to hammer the Roman soldier's fragile psychological defense.

Later, when she saw that the Roman soldier's face had become ugly again, Ellie said slowly to the Roman soldier again, "You said your name is Morbius Deya." They were young soldiers of the Roman legions, and I wonder how you, now in a foreign land, are still classified according to people's possessions, as they were in the days of the Roman Empire. ”

"Your Highness, it may seem difficult to say, but the way we Romans now distinguish between young soldiers, adult soldiers, and young soldiers is actually according to the property of the master we serve. After all, as slaves now, whether or not we can eat a full bite of food depends entirely on the masters we serve. Thus some of the men who served their masters had very little property were classified among the light infantry; People who lack combat experience, but can eat enough three meals a day, that is, people like me, can be classified as young soldiers; If the master of the service was a wealthy Sassanid man, the master had to prepare all the necessary equipment and weapons for the slaves who went to war, so that the heavily armed would be classified as a soldier in the prime of life. As for the Roman slaves who were requisitioned by the Sassanid army, they were classified as adult soldiers because they also participated in the training of the army in normal times. This is how our Roman legions were classified. The Roman smiled wryly as he told the details.

"You, as Romans of noble blood, have chosen to be enslaved by the Sassanids like this?" After listening to what the Roman had said, Ellie said with some indignation. Since she was rescued by Li Wenyuan, and at the same time served as a night owl under Qiu Niang's men, the gloom in her personality has slowly dissipated a lot, and she has also recovered her original pungent temperament. It's just that at this time, due to the nature of the night stalker's work, it hasn't been revealed too much at this time. Presumably, if she really wants to get rid of the night owl, Ellie's spicy personality should be enough to give any man who wants to get his hands on her have a headache for a long time.

"Lady Wang, we don't want to do this either, and we believe that our fathers don't want to do it either. But there is no way, if we don't, where can we, the Romans, who have no homeland, go? How do you live? Our ancestors oppressed the tribes and peoples of the entire Mediterranean coast by force, and it was only when they built Rome into the greatest city of all time. When the arena stands majestically, you can see the splendor of Rome; When the Athletic Tower collapsed, it also symbolized the fall of Rome; The fall of Rome also symbolized the fall of the world. This is how we usually describe the greatness of Rome that we built with our own hands, and Rome is indeed great. But the greatness of Rome has also created countless enemies for our citizens of Rome. The Roman Empire could have protected us with its wings when it was still alive, even if it was broken. But now that the Roman Empire has fallen, and the alien races that used to submit to us have swarmed up to swallow us up to our flesh and blood, even the Eastern Roman Empire, which was also a Roman, was very hostile to us. In the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Empire, all the tribes of the surface seemed to have become our enemies. What choice do I have in such a situation? Even if we can only be slaves for these Sassanids, it's better than being exterminated by those tribal barbarians who hate us, isn't it? The Romans were never slaves, but the Romans needed to survive. Even though we are scattered throughout the Sassanid Empire, we are equally convinced that only by surviving can we one day send the blade of vengeance into the throat of our enemies. ”

"Well, the reason is still very high-sounding, and it can be regarded as passing. I ask you, have the Sassanids trained you after they recruited you? Or are you just pushing you to the front line to be cannon fodder? Ellie nodded, accepting the Roman soldier's explanation, and continued to ask him.

"We were called up urgently, so we only had three days of training. However, we are obliged to serve in the military, so we still spend two months a year in the state of training for military service. ”

"Very well, now give you a chance to swear allegiance to me and become my Guards infantryman. Tonight accompany me to the camp of your Roman legions, and I will meet your commander and have a good talk with him. What do you think? Kao did not consider accepting this offer. Ellie looked at the Roman soldier in front of him and smiled at him.

"It is an honor for me and my family to be able to swear allegiance to the princess, and I am willing to pledge allegiance to you as your guardsman. Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my corpse before they can hurt you. I swear by the name of my Father, whom I believe, and by the glory of my family, that from now on I will serve you as my loyal master, and I will be faithful until I die. The Roman soldier had no other choice at this time, and it was naturally a better choice to be loyal to the princess than to return to the camp and continue to be a slave soldier, so he did not hesitate to swear allegiance to Ellie.

Ellie was also slightly stunned when she heard the oath of the Romans in front of her. She really didn't expect that the Roman soldier in front of her would swear allegiance to herself so quickly, and the oath she made was the heaviest among the Roman oaths. But soon Ellie reacted, smiling and untying the ropes that bound the Roman soldier.

The Roman soldier had been tied up for a long time, and he was already sore, and he had no strength to stand up. But at this time, he gritted his teeth and leaned against the pillar behind him, slowly stood up, and tried to make himself stand straight and a little more energetic.

After Ellie stretched out her hand to support the Roman soldier, she turned to the soldier next to her and said, "Can you please go and get some clothes for my own soldiers?" Tonight he will go out with me to the camp to find out the information of the Romans on the other side. ”
