76. Hidden Commando

"Hidden Commando?"

"Yes, we must cultivate such a battlefield assassination team, who will take my anger with me, on the bloody battlefield, directly to the head of the enemy. The pen www.biquge.info makes enemies lose their armor and weapons after its name. ”

At the base camp of the 10th Legion in the city of Rome, when Apis confidently stated his plan, Klein once again looked at his siblings with extremely confused eyes.

"So how are you going to build this team? I mean, trying to get to the enemy commander's position on a battlefield with a large number of people is not something that ordinary legionnaires can do, they are too bulky, even though they have a lot of defense. ”

Crane calmed down a little, then asked curiously.

"It's a process, not an outcome that can be achieved in a day. First of all, the number of people in this team will be extremely small, no more than twenty people. The twenty fighters of the assault regiment must be of great skill and proficiency in all kinds of weapons, short swords, spears, daggers, hammers, bows and arrows, all of which must be skillfully used and used at all times. They must have a strong physique and excellent fighting skills. On the battlefield, all regular legionary infantry wear chain mail, however, they can only wear leather armor, because this allows them to move more quickly, assassinate, and complete the final mission. That's what you need to train them, Klein. Second, they must learn to survive in all kinds of harsh environments and develop strong bodies. Even if you're alone, you can do your job well. Accomplish the most difficult tasks in the most unlikely circumstances. ”

Apis sat in his military command chair, swearing to depict the appearance of the Hidden Commando in his mind, and a vague prototype was also displayed in front of Apis and Crane. It's incredible, but if the plan does work out, it will be a trump card in Appis's hands. Even Klein couldn't help but get excited.

"These fighters will be one in a hundred elites, and their salaries will also be more than three times that of ordinary soldiers. It can even rival an officer. Crane, I need these people to be able to fight like you, and in a one-on-one gladiatorial fight, I want them to be no worse than any Roman general or general. These people must have gone through the most severe killing tests, their shots will be twice as fast as the average legionary infantry, and their ability to escape, their ability to hide, must also be a first-class existence. Klein, I need you to fix this. Help me develop the actual combat skills of these soldiers. Let them pass your trials one by one. ”

The idea of the Hidden Commando was thought about by Appis for a long time, but when he was still a centurion, such a plan could not be implemented, and when he was promoted to the commander of the Tenth Legion, he was immediately faced with the mission of going to Spain. It was only now, after returning to Rome and everything was stable, that Appis had the time and opportunity to cultivate such an elite assault team. Just like when Apis trained Emma, his soldiers had to fight the Germans one-on-one until one side won. Such a screening was painful for the soldiers, however, the complementary means Appis always balanced with money.

……

"Appis, I'm ready for the feast, and tonight, come to my villa for this sumptuous dinner. It's time for you to need a refined wife. This may be a good start for you. ”

For a few days, Apis was training his secret guard in the Wucheng barracks, and Lepida's sudden visit reminded Apis of another and extremely important thing. Marriage with the children of a Roman noble family. Octavia's story is gone, and now, perhaps, it's time to forget her. Appis thought for a moment and agreed to Lepida's invitation with a wry smile. This is an agreement they have agreed before.

At night, when the hustle and bustle of the Roman market has faded away, another feast has just begun in the noble villas on the hillside. More than thirty noble families gathered at the villa of the magistrate and legion commander Lepida, and they brought their families and servants to this lavish dinner. In addition to getting Acquaint and Juniera Tertilla, Lepida's banquet had another purpose, to tell the nobles of Rome that Caesar had left him a lot of wealth to cope with all the unexpected changes that followed. It also means that these Roman nobles, who were restless before, should stay in the city and stop doing anything unfavorable to Caesar. Of course, this was negotiated in advance between Apis and Lepida, and most of the funds for the banquet were also provided by Apis. After squandering these projects, Appis had almost nothing left from the hoarding trade, and the remaining funds were just enough to be used to cultivate the mysterious Hidden Commando.

The lavish dinner was held in the house of Lepida, and the slave girls, by the fountain in the middle of the courtyard, staged a colorful show, and the Roman aristocratic men were fascinated by the postures and dance steps of these foreign women, while the women shy away, gathered in the inner hall, where they ate fresh fruits and vegetables, and gossiped about the latest news and anecdotes of Rome.

Of course, all kinds of luxuries, gorgeous fabrics, and gladiators in the arena are also topics that they are happy to discuss. The tablecloth of the banquet was filled with all kinds of sumptuous food. Hard-boiled eggs, sausages, salad fruits, cooked beef in red wine, honey cakes, roast rat, smoked bacon and more.

In the outer hall of the corridor and in the courtyard of the fountain, all kinds of colorful performances were staged, and Appis quietly walked to the inner hall and mingled with all kinds of Roman noble women. At the same time, Lepida's wife, Juniera Sykes, is in charge of hosting her sister Tertira, while Seville is invited to the inner room by Lepida early, continuing their relationship between near and far.

"Oh, Apis, I know you, you are the Legionary hero that my husband Lepida often mentions. Nice to meet you here. ”

When Junilauses and Apis looked at each other, they quickly cried out in "excitement", while her younger sister Junila, Tertilla, looked at the elegant Roman young man with a clean face in front of her.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Venerable Sykes."

Apis walked over and replied faintly. Between gestures, there is a remarkable Greek classical style elegance. In front of him, Sykes hurriedly purposefully introduced his sister to Appis, Juniera Tertilla. (To be continued.) )
