The Roman cavalry treated Li Nan and Nong Jingzu and others equally, tied their hands and dragged them behind their horses and galloped.

Li Nan's strengthened physical fitness is good, and he can easily keep up with the horses and run, but those high-ranking officials from various state capitals are pampered on weekdays, and they are miserable at this time.

At first, Ma Zhizhou and the others could barely keep up with the speed of the horses, but after five or six minutes, these old guys began to pant and beg for mercy.

The Roman cavalry was not a good man or woman, not to mention the language barrier between the two sides, so they completely ignored their cries.

Soon after, the more than thirty Song people who had been brought to the Roman world by Li Nan finally reached the limit of their physical strength, stumbled and fell one after another, and were dragged to the ground by the galloping horses and howled miserably.

Li Nan ran with all his strength, while gloating at the excitement, these guys who wanted to assassinate themselves were dragged by the war horse on the Gobi Desert full of sand and gravel at this time, and countless wounds were scratched on their bodies.

"Hey, are these soft bastards your people?"

Li Nan looked sideways, and what he spoke was a strong man of an alien race with messy hair and dirty eyes.

Although these Song people are Li Nan's enemies, they can't be insulted when facing foreign clans.

Li Nan saw a man tied up on a war horse not far away, he was dressed like this strong man, and immediately counterattacked: "They are my clansmen, but your clansmen are not very good, it seems that he is not far from death!" ”

The alien man looked at Li Nan's line of sight, and said with a sad face: "He is a good man, but if he falls into the hands of the Romans, it is better to die early." ”

Finally meeting someone to communicate with, Li Nan hurriedly asked, "Where will we be taken by these Romans?" ”

"I've heard that all prisoners of war will be brought back to Rome, and we will either be executed or sold into slavery."

"Slaves?"

Li Nan didn't expect that he had just sent a large number of people to Jiaozhi to capture slaves not long ago, and now he was about to become a slave, which was really unpleasant.

After the Roman cavalry galloped for forty or fifty minutes, there were still nine captives left who could barely run to keep up with the galloping horses, in addition to Li Nan, there were also the patriarchs of the two clans, Nong Jingzu and Qin Fuping, and the remaining six people were all people of the same clan as the Han Dynasty.

After more than half an hour, the group of cavalry finally arrived at a barracks.

Heroes and heroes have feelings of sympathy, and the alien man who talked to Li Nan just now gasped and said, "Your health is good, you can still hold on after running for so long." ”

Li Nan nodded at him and said, "You're not bad either." ”

"I am Thracian, my name is Dronas, what about you?"

"I'm from Serres, Li Nan."

While the two were chatting, a man who looked like a Roman general came over, pointed at Li Nan and the others and said, "These people have good physique, suitable for being gladiators, shackle them, and they will definitely be sold for a good price after they are transported back to Rome." As for the rest of the waste, look at selling the non-dead to the mines. ”

A group of Roman soldiers surrounded them, searched and stripped everyone of their clothes, and Dhonas and his people were fine, with a crotch cloth left on their bodies, and Li Nan was unlucky.

His clothes were all made of the highest grade leno fabric of the Song Dynasty, light as a cloud, when had these Romans seen this kind of high-end goods, even Li Nan's underwear was snatched away.

was stripped of his pants, which can be regarded as a great shame for a man, Li Nan, who was furious in his heart, immediately wanted to make a move, and after Zhuonas, who was standing beside him, saw it, he quickly stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, and whispered: "Don't be impulsive, there are thousands of Romans here, you can't win!" ”

Hearing Zonas's words, looking at the countless Roman soldiers around him, Li Nan's anger slowly receded, and after his mind regained his clarity, he said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, I'm fine." ”

The Romans threw him a rag, and with the help of Dronas, he made a crotch cloth from this cloth and tied it around his waist.

Li Nan and Zhuonas and others were considered to be more valuable among the slaves, so they were kept together, and as for those who were dragged back after falling, those who were seriously injured and died were thrown out directly, and the rest who were still alive were also tied up with ropes.

In the days that followed, Li Nan and Zhuonas were first locked up in a barracks and starved for three days, then loaded into a prison van and walked west for several days, and then loaded into a rudimentary sea ship and headed northwest.

Perhaps the Romans were worried that these physically fit slaves would rebel, so they deliberately denied them food to eat, no matter how strong they were, they were basically extremely weak if they didn't eat for three days.

Li Nan's body is fused with the enhanced C virus, so his need for energy is greater than others, and after being hungry for a few days, he no longer has the strength to resist, so he can only wait for a better time to get out.

In the rough sea, the slave ship shook violently, the hands of Li Nan and the others were handcuffed to the bulkhead with iron chains, and from time to time there were salty, wet and cold sea water pouring down from the top of their heads.

Everyone in the cabin was tired and hungry, and they were all tired and leaning against the bulkhead to nap, when suddenly someone shouted.

Li Nan, who was awakened, looked at the person who was shouting, and it turned out to be the guy who had been in a coma.

Seeing that he had woken up, Dronas said to him with mixed emotions: "You all smell of revenge, I thought you wouldn't survive, welcome to join us." ”

The Thracian man, who had just woken up, looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where is this?" ”

Li Nan opened his mouth and said, "This is a slave ship, we should be in the Adriatic Sea, and the destination is Capua. ”

After the Thracian man figured out his situation, he had a look of horror and despair on his face, and struggled desperately.

Dronas repeatedly advised: "Calm down, calm down! ”

The Thracian man eagerly asked the crowd, "Have you seen Sula?" She was my wife, taken by the Romans. ”

"Your wife?"

When all the slaves in the cabin heard this, they all showed sympathetic looks, and a woman fell into the hands of the Romans, even outsiders like Li Nan knew that there was no good end.

Dronas sighed and said, "I advise you to forget about her." ”

This sentence was also everyone's thoughts, and there was silence in the cabin, Li Nan was deeply glad that his woman was not involved, otherwise it would be too painful to be like this Thrace.

After getting off the boat and starting to walk again, Li Nan felt that he could not hold on anymore, and the army of slaves finally came to a dry and hot city---- Capua.

There seem to be a lot of residents in the city, and it seems to be very lively, Li Nan raised his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was an oval building with a height of more than 30 meters.

The streets of Capua were not wide, and there were many vendors on both sides of the road, and the Romans of the city were easy to distinguish between slaves, and those who wore long robes and bright dresses were Romans, and those who were naked or, like Li Nan, wore only a crotch cloth around their waists.

Li Nan and the others had just walked a few dozen meters when they saw several slaves who had made mistakes, handcuffed to the wall by the side of the road, whipped by their masters and covered in blood, screaming miserably.

After arriving in the center of the city, the Romans who led the group took the Thracians of Zonas alone, while Li Nan and the others were taken to a wooden platform.

"Take a look, a new arrival, a strong man from Celis in the Far East, with a reserve price of ten dinars of silver!"
