The work of burying the body lasted for a week, and Luga raised a lot of money, which was an ill-gotten gain, and of course Luga needed to make good use of it.

In the hall of the chieftains of Seguntum, Luga was accompanied by the female chieftains Maca, Andrew, Arecio, and Malenius, as well as a group of Anglo nobles and Roman officers. They sat around and discussed their next steps.

"Malenius." Lu Jia was the first to speak: "The ten captains in your legion are already in place in the ninth legion. ”

"Yes, General." Malenius nodded and said, "We have arranged for them, as you commanded, they know nothing about our actions at that time, and even the soldiers of the Ninth Legion have a smart person who can't ask anything." ”

"That's for the best, as long as they have no way of knowing what we're doing, we'll be able to keep order in place." Luga stroked his forehead, which was good news, but it was not very exciting for the situation in front of him.

"We don't know how many enemies there are now, but we have a field regiment stationed in Camlo Dulum, so many troops, plus self-defense in the city, can now allow the Saxons to take it so easily."

"I can't help you with that, Luga." Arecio looked at Luga and continued, "My informant, he seems to be in some trouble, so he hasn't contacted me again for a while, and I can't help you with that. ”

"Okay, okay, okay!" Luga stretched out his hand and motioned for Arecio to stop talking, only to hear Luga continue: "We must now make a plan on how to face the Saxons, they are really very difficult like bedbugs!" ”

"We also need soldiers, reliable soldiers." Malenius said eagerly: "It is no longer possible to rely on the Fourth Auxiliary Legion, they now only have three field regiments left to dispatch, and the Auxiliary Legion is less than half of its men because of the massacre of the Nephilims, but fortunately those who escaped are intact, and it will be difficult to deal with the wounded." The Ninth Legion, we can't rely on such an unstable Ninth Legion alone. ”

Lennius's words made both the Romans and the Angles nod their heads, after all, the Anglo-Saxon coalition at that time used axes to break through the gate of Seguntum was naturally fresh in the memory of everyone present.

"That's why I'm going to give the junior officers back to the Ninth Legion." "I'm not sure what they're relying on to sustain their fighting power, whether it's faith, or money or fame, but it's much easier if it's the latter," Luga explained. To be on the safe side, I arranged for the corresponding Centurion of the Fourth Auxiliary Legion to be promoted to the Centurion of the Ninth Legion, hoping that they would find out what they wanted. ”

At this time, in the makeshift meeting place in the camp of the Ninth Legion, the soldiers gathered around and looked at the centurion standing in the middle of them, and a week had passed, and there was no original commander, no priest or monk who could explain the confusion, only a strange centurion.

Luga didn't give them any explanation for the collective disappearance of Father Jankaro and the centurions of the Ninth Legion, and they couldn't get any reliable news from the new centurions, the only thing they could hear was that Fr. Jankaro and his monks had been recalled by the Pope, and the centurions were serving under Luga.

"They must be uncomfortable in life, after all, they didn't give the general face, it seems that the general's next purpose is to teach them a good lesson and let them obey the rules." The new centurions joked about this to the soldiers from time to time, which made the soldiers of the Ninth Legion even more vigilant, as they gradually began to believe that their original centurions were going to suffer, rather than die.

"We need to reorganize the Legion, especially to integrate some of the able-bodied soldiers into the Fourth Auxiliary Legion, so that the Ninth Legion, which is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, can take the lead, so that we can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the army." Luga said.

"Then, we still can't reorganize from the existing army, we have to hire soldiers, and use a large number of hired soldiers to make up for the shortage of soldiers." "We are now fully capable of hiring, and we need to learn from the lessons of Camlodulum and strengthen the defenses of coastal cities, such as Seguntum, and Lendinlum, and at least double the garrison. ”

"I understand that." Luga couldn't help nodding his head, and then said, "So I plan to leave the old soldiers in the Ninth Legion in charge of the city's defense. Of course, Arecio, you need to worry about this matter, we need the assistance of the barbarians, the troops of the female leader of Maca are used for defense, and the offensive matter is still in the long run. ”

When Luga said this, the female leader Maca immediately stood up and retorted, "Our warriors can cooperate with the general to attack the enemy until the final victory is achieved. ”

"I am very grateful for this, Your Excellency." Luga smiled and said to Maca: "We can now solve this problem on our own, so we have decided to continue as always, and we also hope that Your Excellency can preserve your strength, all we need is loyalty, as long as Your Excellency can remain loyal for us, we can continue to cooperate." ”

This problem seems to have been solved, and in this way, the two legions under Luga need to allocate six field regiments and 3,000 troops to each of the three cities that Luga now controls. Immediately after that, they began to discuss the issue of the current strategy, which became even more prominent.

"In terms of the big picture, we are already surrounded by Anglo-Saxons." Arecio touched the map on the table, pointed to the area above Camlo Dulum, and then said to the crowd, "We must now prepare for a two-front battle, because to the north of us is Kevin. Sain, to the east is the Saxons of Linton. ”

"We have to defeat an enemy first, and that's our primary goal." Luga said: "Let's say we can concentrate superior forces and encircle and annihilate an enemy force, but how do we choose? ”

As he spoke, Luga stretched out his hand and pointed at Linton and said to everyone, "Kevin. With Thine retreating to Linton, the Coalition tribes would spare no effort to replenish their forces, while the eastern coalition would seek support from their own tribes from the Germania Sea. Their number will only increase, and the quality, we dare not say that the quality of our soldiers can surpass them, it is difficult to equalize. ”

"Ask Augustus." Andrew's voice was heard in the crowd, "Ask Augustus for grant assistance." ”

"It's a good idea." Lu Jia smiled bitterly, shook his head, and continued: "Next, we need a large number of mercenaries and enemies against us, so use your brains!" ”
