5. Gallic Hostel

Eventually, instead of taking Apis's advice and setting up camp outside the town, Quintus let the convoy directly into the town of the Sekanians, and after setting up the luggage and wagons in a medium-sized tavern, the centurion led dozens of Roman soldiers into the tavern with a swagger. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at this time, Apis realized that the rude centurion had been entering the town of the Sekani people in order to find a local girl to vent.

"This kind of person can also be a centurion?"

Appis followed behind the troops, and couldn't help but complain.

However, there is a question that has been entangled in Apis's heart before but he was proudly answered, after entering the territory of the Sekani people, Apis learned through the chat between the Roman soldiers and the local residents that the entire Gaul region, this year has produced serious floods, coupled with the raging locusts, resulting in many tribes in Gaul that originally supplied food to the Roman legions, this time could not gather a considerable scale of grain and grass, so in desperation, some legion commanders had to collect food from Rome with the acquiescence of Caesar, This is the previous matter of the Roman hundred-man team transporting grain thousands of miles.

The grain harvest was poor, the life of the legions was not easy, and the life of the Gauls was not easy, especially in a tribal region like Gaul, which was mainly agricultural. If there is a famine in Rome itself, at least it can raise food from Africa, Egypt and other regions, but Gaul is a scattered tribe, and it does not have such a vast territory as Rome, and the transportation network is inconvenient, resulting in a famine, there is no solution at all.

Apis noticed this when he entered the town of the Sekani, and although on the surface the people were still living well, the whole town was not active in a peaceful atmosphere, but with a gloomy atmosphere, and Apis could not guess what it was, but it was certain that these Gauls had to deliver food and grass to the Roman legions when they were short of food, and they would only have two words written on their faces: "Unpleasant." ”

"Ah, little biaozi, I haven't seen you in a few months, and you're still so charming."

As soon as Quintus entered the Gaul tavern, he strode over to the Celtic women at the bar. It was a plump and somewhat fat woman, with a layer of inferior honey on her mouth and breasts, to seduce the merchants who passed by the tavern for a night or the wandering forest hunters.

As soon as Quintus entered, he went straight to the proprietress and it was clear that the centurion would come to the tavern every time he passed by, and he was already a regular customer, so he was so familiar with the road. The Roman soldiers behind him followed in full gear, and the Gauls in the tavern suddenly gave way.

As you can imagine, although the Sekani were not enemies of the Romans, Rome was their protectorate after all, the equivalent of a conquered barbarian, and they did not dare to say anything when they saw these flying Roman soldiers, even if they had a hundred displeasures in their hearts. The Roman soldiers who followed Quintus soon took the best position in the tavern, and several Celtic women immediately gathered around him, while Quintus directly picked up the fat proprietress directly.

Apis saw all this, but he was helpless, since Marius's reform, the combat effectiveness of the legionnaires has improved, but the quality of the soldiers is also uneven. It was not uncommon for a large number of ruffians to join the legion in order to mix a salary.

"My little darling, where have you been lately? I haven't seen you here for more than half a year. ”

……

Quintus climbed straight to the second floor with the proprietress in his arms, and soon there was a rapid gasp in the room. Downstairs, the Roman soldiers were surrounded by local Celtic women, apparently also on business. Apis sat in the corner, not participating in this dirty act, but just observing the reaction of these Gauls on the scene, the barbarians usually do not have such deep scheming, so just by looking at the expressions and movements, Apis could see that although these people did not dare to do anything to the Roman soldiers now, they were still very unhappy.

They were squeezed to the worst position in the tavern, and by this time, several local women had also found Appis, who was hiding in a corner.

"No, thank you."

Appis kept pushing away, and the women kept squeezing up, thinking of the confused scene he had seen in the gladiator academy before, and Appis couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea in his heart. And the easiest way to blow these women away is to say, "I don't have any money with me." ”

Several Gallic women around Apis didn't believe it, and pinched the money bag on Apis's waist, and found that the money bag that should have been bulging was indeed shriveled at the moment, and Apis didn't pay attention to them and told them to stay, at this time, these Gallic women walked away with interest.

Entering the tavern of the Sekani people and spending a fee, the Roman soldiers did not have much dinar in their purse, but the Romans who had been fighting abroad for many years were actually very wealthy, but that meager wealth could have been enough to feed these Celtic women for several months. So even in Gaul, the Gallic women who served the Romans were very despised, but many Gallic women in the conquered areas still embarked on this road of no return in order to make a living.

Knock knock.

A few minutes later, on the stairs of the Celtic tavern, the sound of Roman centurion boots stepping on the planks could be heard. Obviously, the thing was already done upstairs.

Done in just a few minutes? This was beyond Appis's expectations, and he thought that this would continue for at least some time.

Seeing the centurion coming down from the upper floor, the soldiers immediately stopped their intimate movements with these Celtic women. Set your sights on your own centurion.

"Pack your bags and go."

In the next second, from the mouth of this stunned centurion, an unbelievable military order was issued. Everyone thought that the Romans were going to spend the night here, but Quintus, after he had a good time, ordered his men to prepare for the trip. The horses have been borrowed, and it looks like they are ready to go.

The soldiers were all surprised, even a little dissatisfied, but they had to leave the tavern, no one knew what was happening, and the centurion ordered everyone to set off so quickly.

As Quintus walked out of the tavern door, he glanced at Appis, who was sitting in the corner, and winked. And this look also made Appis react at once. The veteran Roman centurion had already sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere here, and Quintus had been reluctant to take his own advice before, but perhaps now, after observing it himself, he had come to a conclusion. The centurion may not have been as pedantic as he seems, or perhaps Quintus had been observing his surroundings as he stepped into the tavern at the beginning, and Appis suddenly understood why, in just a few minutes, the rude centurion had finished his work upstairs......

In the evening of the same day, dozens of Roman soldiers swaggered out of the town of the Sekani under the astonished eyes of all the Celts, and the strategy of ambushing the Romans was to ambush the Romans in the hostel, and when the Romans were asleep, the Celts attacked.
