The town of the Remi - Babur. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This was originally a Belgian town that had defected to Caesar in the Gallic Wars, but at this moment, a large number of Gauls who rebelled against Rome gathered. Appis didn't take anything with him before leaving, so he asked the legion commander Kota for a man - Titus. Said that if this mission can be successfully completed, then after the battle, he will be free to give Titus.

At first, Cota was reluctant to do this, as the commander of the Roman Seventh Legion, Cota valued Appis so much, just because his performance on the way to escort the grain cart was enough to reflect his combat effectiveness and psychological quality stronger than others, but going deep into the enemy's hinterland to probe intelligence, this is not a simple task, not a person with strong psychological quality, it is simply unbearable, Apis also has to bring a slave partner with no experience in the field, Cota is worried that it will ruin the entire spy mission. However, Apis had his own reasons to bring Titus with him, and if necessary, to play a play with two people to better confuse the Gauls.

In the end, Kota agreed. Sabinus, on the other hand, was indignant in the military tent, unwilling to come out, he did not want to see such an absurd scene.

In fact, after Apis's departure, the two legion commanders came to an agreement that the camp must be fortified, regardless of whether the slave returned the information to the barracks, if the Germans were really on the way.

When he first entered the town of Remy, Appis even had the illusion of entering a beggar assembly. It was a Gallic tribe relatively close to the north. As a result of the rebellion against Rome, there is hardly any trace of Roman civilization infiltration. It is more of a labyrinth than a town, with a dense mass of low-rise houses scattered through the town like a refugee camp. The roads are winding and twisting, and there are so many intersections and nodes that the roads in this Babur town are like a huge spider web, connecting the towns, and outsiders who want to get out without a local guide have only two words - no way.

Apis and Titus were tied up by the Belgians.

Not believing that the Romans had betrayed a traitor, the Belgians tied up the two Romans who had entered the edge of the city as spies.

"Spies for the Romans."

The leading barbarian shouted and punched, Apis only felt a salty corner of his mouth, it was the smell of blood on his lips, he couldn't remember how many times he was beaten after crossing, but as long as he was alive, there was a glimmer of hope, Apis endured the pain and spit out the blood foam on the face of the barbarian who beat him.

"Bastard ......"

But then came the even more brutal beating of the barbarian warrior who was extremely strong.

"Wait."

The Belgians tied Apis and Titus to the square in the center of the town, where a large number of passing Gauls gathered, and the locals looked at Apis and his companion Titus with disgust. It was just that the Gallic merchants who were passing by happened to see this scene.

"You say you're slaves? Escaped from the Roman barracks? ”

The Gallic traders pushed through the crowd and came up. The merchant seems to have a relatively high status in the whole tribe, maybe he has more wealth and belongs to the Gallic nobility? As soon as he came up, the barbarians stopped beating Appis. Instead, watch how the vendor identifies the two Roman pigs.

"Yes, damn it, how many times do I have to say it before you don't ask, fuck the Gallic pigs!"

Appis deliberately shouted so that all the Gauls around him could hear him. Although not everyone in the tribe could understand Latin, the Gauls who could understand it were clearly looking at them with anger. As for the standard English words, no one understands them.

"You don't have to judge again, they are slaves indeed. I've seen this sign. It is the lowliest, the most inhumanly free slave who bears this mark. And it is branded on the chest, and these two people will probably never have a chance to remove this brand in their lives. ”

The Gallic merchant approached and took a closer look at the imprint on Apis' chest, and then spoke to all the tribesmen around him, however, the Gauls who had captured Apis and Titus did not intend to believe the merchant's words. Instead, he leaned in and wanted to continue beating Appis......

"Enough, Yaruchenko. The enemy of our enemy is our ally. ”

The Gallic merchant roared majestically, so that the barbarian, whose hands were stained with the blood of Appis, stopped slightly, and spat in the faces of Apis and Titus!

"!"

It is difficult for the poor to gain a foothold in this era of war and chaos, which is the deepest experience of Apis at this moment. But the task is not yet complete, everything must continue to endure. I think of the famous saying of Great China - the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds...... Appis burst into tears, even if it was just a comforting word, but in the darkest of moments, it was still the last thing in people's hearts.

"Why were you so rough with them? Aren't we here to join these barbarians and get information? Such a rude attitude, isn't it equivalent to looking for a beating? ”

After being thrown from the town square into the cellar prison, Titus sat beside Appis in confusion and kept asking questions about the scene he could not understand.

"Brother, my good companion, this is where you need to learn, if you want to infiltrate the enemy, you must first dispel their concerns, we are outsiders, the first reaction of these barbarians is that we are Roman spies, we are here to infiltrate their ranks to inquire about information, so it is normal for them to be so rude to us at first. At this time, if we still show a low voice, it is easy to suspect that we are deliberately trying to integrate with them and obtain information, so the more this time, the more we can't show the mentality of wanting to stay, I scold them, because they beat us, at this time, the reaction of normal people after being beaten, we should respond to them with an ordinary wanderer mentality, rather than approaching with a purpose, so it is easy for them to be suspicious. ”

Apis sat in the stinking underground cell, smiling and explaining to Titus. Titus, though not a very intelligent man, quickly understood Apis's intentions. At the same time, this native Roman had to begin to admire the gladiator in front of him from the bottom of his heart. It's no wonder that Kota chose him to carry out such a high-risk mission, as Appis's ideas and ability to read words and emotions are indeed better than the average legionary infantryman.
