After hearing the pleading of the Roman soldier, Ellie motioned for the guards next to her to open the door to the cage. Anyway, the Roman spy was also firmly tied to the pillar in the middle of the wooden cage, and even if he opened the door at this time, he was not afraid of running away. After entering the wooden cage, Ellie did not take off the hood from the Roman blanket in front of her, but stood directly opposite him and asked in Roman, "Don't be afraid, please calm down a little." We won't torture you, we'll just ask you a few questions, and if you answer them truthfully, then I can guarantee your life. ”

"You, who are you? How can you guarantee my life? After hearing Ellie's voice, the Roman spy calmed down a little, but he still couldn't believe the promise that a woman had made to him, so he calmed down and asked Ellie.

"I am a descendant of Romulo Augustus's daughter, and the only one of his kind. If you are in the city of Rome, then what I have just said to you can be assured of the glory of my ancestors and the laurels on my head. But it's a pity that I'm just a wandering princess now, and I can't make any guarantee for you that you choose to believe me. So if you want to believe me, answer me truthfully everything I want to know, and if you don't believe me, then it may be difficult for me to convince these people to let you live. I'm just a passer-by, and I want to save the lives of my former compatriots after seeing them captured. But if my compatriots don't want me to do that, then I'm doing it myself. You are enjoying your short life here, I still have things to do, may the Lord bless you. After Ellie finished speaking, she walked out of the wooden cage without looking back.

Listening to the sound of Ellie's feet on the ground and gradually moving away, the Roman spy finally couldn't hold back the desire to survive in his heart, and wanted to stand up and pull Ellie, but he was helpless to be tied up tightly. So he shouted hoarsely as best he could: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness! I don't mean to offend you, Your Highness! I can tell you everything you want to know! As long as I knew. I just want you to get me out of this place, I really don't want to be subjected to the kind of torture and interrogation that these Han people can make people completely crazy! Please save me! ”

Ellie also heard the Roman speak, and smiled at the military lord next to her, with a smug look on her face. Then she walked back slowly, this time it was different from the previous situation, Ellie turned around and walked back this time, walked forward without the slightest hesitation, stretched out her hand and took off the hood of the Roman spy, and said to him: "Listen, you must answer me truthfully whatever I ask you, and there will be no deception or exaggeration." So that I can guarantee your life, first question: What is your name? ”

"Your Highness, my name is Mobius Deya." The Roman soldier said honestly.

"Good. Next question: What position did you hold in your original military? Ellie nodded, satisfied with the Roman soldier's answer, and then continued to ask.

"Your Highness, I am a young soldier in the Roman legions loyal to the Sassanid Empire, just the most ordinary and ordinary small soldier." The Roman soldier was still honest.

"You're back here to find out what you want to know? Or in other words, what kind of news would your commander want you to come to here? ”

"The commander wants to know what kind of enemy he is facing, and who is the commander of the enemy? The appearance of this commander, as well as his first name, also includes the war history of this commander. The most important thing is to find a way to figure out the character of this commander, and these are the things that my commander asked me to sneak into you this time to find out. The Roman soldier hesitated slightly, but finally revealed his intentions for coming. After all, his commander doesn't care about the life or death of a nobody, and if he wants to save his life, only he can do it. What's more, the methods of these Han Chinese to deal with captured spies had already spread widely among the companies of the Western Turkic and Sassanid armies at this time, so they did not dare to hide the slightest answer at this time.

"Is that all? I'll tell you beforehand, and if you dare to hide anything from it, then I'm fully entitled to retract my promise to you. After listening to the words of the Roman soldier, Ellie turned her head to look at the military lord who had been standing there without making a sound, and after shrugging her shoulders helplessly, she turned her head to look at the Roman soldier and said solemnly.

"Heavenly Father, what I say to you is completely true, without the slightest concealment or exaggeration." The Roman soldier swore to Ellie.

"If what you're saying is true, then that means your commander is a commander of orthodox Roman descent? And not the barbarian commanders who chose to naturalize in order to get a place as a Roman citizen, right? Tell me all the details you know about him. Ellie sat down across from the Roman soldier, bowing her head and playing with her long hair, before speaking to the Roman soldier seemingly nonchalantly.

"Heras Curt. Our commander is called Heras Curt. His paternal ancestors were captains of the Western Roman Guards, and it was for this reason that he was chosen by the Sassanids to be the commander of our Roman legions. He was arguably the purest Roman of all of us. Because of our exile in a foreign land, even the purest Romans among us are already of mixed blood for more than two generations. Only his family still insisted on marrying only Roman women, and of course only his family had the financial means to maintain the innocence of blood. The expression on the Roman soldier's face was subtle when he said this. They were once born proud to be Romans, but now? But in order to survive, they can only choose to marry women of different races, and the sense of loss brought to them by doing so is extremely serious.

Ellie nodded, the internal environment of the Roman Empire was very similar to that of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. The demand for horses is very strong, but the number of horses that can be produced in-house is also very limited. Moreover, due to the limitations of the territory of the Roman Empire, the number of people holding horses is far less than that of the Han people in the Central Plains, which also makes the people who can become cavalry in the past dynasties are people with a certain scale of family business, after all, in the military system of the Roman Empire, as a cavalry, they must bring their own horses and equipment.
