"Germanic?"

The information that came out of the captive's mouth was so shocking that even the always rude and wild centurion Quintus couldn't help but be shocked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Appis knew better what kind of people the Germanic people were in the mouth of the Gallic captives.

They are bloodthirsty and brutal, they torture and kill prisoners of war, they do not farm, they rely almost exclusively on hunting for food, the forest is their home, they are like wild beasts, they are not afraid of pain when they fight, and they violently kill every enemy in front of them. Germanic men hardly did housework, they left all their labor to women, and they did only one thing all year round - fighting. In the absence of foreign enemies, the men of the Germans gathered in groups of three or five every day, drank heavily and fought with each other as a way to show their masculinity...... When there was a war, the men of all the Germanic tribes gathered together and pounced on the enemy like wild beasts, and the Roman Empire was not able to conquer these barbarians of northern Europe at its peak.

If what the Gallic prisoners of war said was true, then this information would be very important and valuable to the Roman legions.

After thinking for a while, Quintus directly called the two scouts who could ride horses in the team, mounted the horses of the Gauls, and rushed to the garrison of the Seventh Legion on the front line as fast as possible, and told Sabinus, the commander of the Seventh Legion, that the Germans wanted to counterattack.

"Titus, Cole, Sarah, you guys go and gather the rest of your weapons and put them in the wagon."

"Bilis, Claudius, you two dispose of these prisoners of war."

"Others, follow me. We're leaving, damn it, what the hell has happened to labor and management. ”

After arranging for the cavalry to report the situation to the front station, Quintus immediately issued three more orders, and the soldiers quickly began to carry out the orders of the centurion. Only Apis questioned again-

"Centurion, these prisoners of war have already told valuable information, and they are going to be executed?"

It would be understandable to say that these Gallic prisoners of war were tortured and ill-treated in order to obtain information. But this time, when the Gallic prisoners of war had already told the truth, the centurion had to execute them, which Apis could not understand and accept, as a modern man, this way of dealing with prisoners of war was simply inhumane and discredited.

And when Appis said this, it was immediately immediately again, attracting the attention of the audience......

In the Roman legions, the orders of the superiors were kingly law, and no one in the soldiers under the war dared to say a single word "no", but Appis, a slave-turned-gladiator, repeatedly questioned the authority of the centurion. Even the centurion couldn't stand it this time, if it weren't for the fact that this team was attacked by barbarians in a row, and the number of people was seriously reduced, Quintus would have even stabbed this "nagging" gladiator to death with a sword.

"They are my captives, what to do with them is my business, you are just a slave, a soldier, and you have no right to interfere with the orders of the centurion, understand?"

Quintus walked over and roared angrily, and looked at Apis face to face, a distance that looked like two beasts ready to bite each other, and the eyes of both were full of provocation and anger. But in the end, Quintus still didn't do anything to Appis, after all, in a special period, at this time, the combat power of a gladiator is worth ten legion infantry, plus the previous two battles, Appis did kill a lot of Gauls, the strength of the gladiator is there, even if he is a slave, but no one questions Appis's combat effectiveness, if it is not such a special situation, Quintus is afraid that there are 10,000 possibilities, just on the way to cripple this little slave who is questioning his style of doing things all the way.

"Damn, wars were so cruel in ancient times?"

After the argument, Apis was unable to stop the centurion's torture of the Gallic prisoners. Alone and depressed, he carried his luggage and joined the queue of the rapid march.

Rome, home of Gaius Octavian-

"Mother, listen to me."

Octavia was crossed by Atia's personal servants, and with tears in her eyes, she tried to persuade her mother. However, joining forces with Batinius to rescue a slave who had committed a capital crime was an unforgivable mistake in Attia's eyes.

At the risk of disrepute, the daughter of the Gaius family rescued a slave and, crucially, colluded with Pompey's subordinate, Batinus. At this delicate moment of the situation, the slightest mistake can create a lead to a split of forces, and the Senate is stepping up to drive a wedge between Pompey and Caesar, while his own daughter is acting so irrationally at this point in time.

However, Atiya, who has calmed down, also understands her daughter's feelings. Nobles are not free to marry, and are often forced to marry someone they have never met, for the sole purpose of profit.

Like all women, Atia also has her own girlhood, and she can only look at her beloved man from afar, not together. Therefore, when Octavia made such a crazy move, Aditya was actually full of contradictions, but she still couldn't forgive her daughter. The facts and the lessons of blood taught this great mother that you have no choice but to adapt to this society.

"Octavia, my daughter, I understand your feelings, but as I told you before, you are a nobleman, that Aduneus is a slave, and you can't be together, unless that Aduneus gets commoner status and Roman citizenship. However, even if he really does it in the future, it is still difficult and difficult for you to be together, you are not the daughter of an ordinary aristocratic family, you are the daughter of the Gaius family, Julius Caesar is your uncle, and your origin is destined that you cannot choose your own marriage, just like your mother and me. ”

Aditya walked over and wiped tears from her daughter's eyes. At this moment, as a mother, Adia is undoubtedly in pain, she doesn't want to see her daughter hurt, but she has to educate her about the cruel reality.

……

Octavia didn't speak, but wept silently in place. It's like a wounded kitten, alone in the corner, ****ing its own wounds. It may only take a day, a night, to fall in love with someone, but it can take years, or even a lifetime, to forget someone. Octavia was like that, but she didn't know how her lover, the gladiator slave she had rescued from the underground prison of Rome, was doing. Are you still thinking about yourself? He said that he would come back, with glory, with triumph, and yet, all this became a dream, an ethereal dream, at the persuasion of Atiya, at the persuasion of her own mother......
