When the rebellious Gallic hunters arrived at the Seventh Legion garrison, the Roman soldiers guarding the fortress could not believe their eyes.

How did this Appis get there?

In fact, a week ago, when the Legion released Apis to steal information from the Gauls, all the legionnaires did not believe him, and they did not believe that a slave, and a slave who had not been trained to be a spy, could complete the task and obtain the best information in such an urgent situation. You know, the Remi, the Belgians, are much more clever and cunning than the long-haired Gauls of the south.

While the legion sent Appis to steal the enemy's intelligence, it actually sent other spies and scout cavalry, and at the same time obtained a variety of intelligence, and the legion commander often needed to use a variety of intelligence to make a decision when making a decision, after all, a war would decide the life and death of thousands of people.

However, a week passed, and none of the Roman spies sent to the Gaul towns returned alive, nor did the Roman scouting cavalry obtain any information about the Germanic army. It wasn't until the legion commanders were anxiously hesitating that the Gallic hunters came with the most valuable information.

The centurion almost tied the Gallic hunters into the camp because they did not believe that Appis could convince the Gauls to betray them and pass information on the Roman legions.

"Let go of him."

When he entered the camp commanded by the Legion Commander, Kota immediately asked the Centurion to untie the two Gallic hunters. Judging by the style and font of the letters, there is no doubt that they were in the handwriting of Appis. With a smile of excitement, Cota looked at Sabinus who was sitting on a wooden chair next to him, obviously, the bet between the two of them, Kota won, but what the bet was, no one knows.

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Kota to finish reading the letter. The atmosphere tended to be deadly. Everyone knows that this information is about the life and death of the legion.

The two Gauls stood still, looking expectantly at the Roman officer in front of them.

Apis told them that if they handed this information into the hands of the Roman legion commanders, they would receive a large fortune and could leave the area and go to southern Gaul, or go directly to Rome to live away from war and plunder.

This was the best chance for the destitute North Gauls to change their fate. So at the moment, the two Gallic hunters were like two stunned young men, staring at Kota, counting on that huge fortune. As to who won the battle, they didn't care at all, their wives and children had already left the town and gone to the appointed position in the south, ready to join them.

"The letter says that the Germans are crossing the Rhine and will arrive here in five days, and that the Belgians will join them in besieging our fortress."

As Kota finished reading the letter, everyone present looked at the Legion Commander in surprise. If this information is true, then, in three days, the Germanic army will arrive here, and the 50,000 Germans plus the 30,000 Belgians in the town of Remy will definitely not be able to hold the fortress if they attack it together. The Seventh and Eighth legions, with only 12,000 men, had to face a siege of 80,000 barbarians, and even if the Roman garrisons were fortified, they would probably be dead and bleeding.

"We should send another scout cavalry to spy on the Germanic movements."

Sabinus stood up, and even though Appis's handwritten letter had arrived at the barracks and reached Kota, Sabinus still didn't want to believe that the slave could do it. The strict and conservative style led the old general to believe that it was necessary to wait for the scout cavalry to pass on the exact information to the barracks before the Roman legions could leave.

"We have run out of time, old man, and we must now set up camp and attack the town of the Remi. This information came two days ago, when the Germanic army was already crossing the river, and by this time it was estimated that all of them had crossed the Rhine, and on the way here, we would have to face an enemy several times our size in three days at most. If the camp continues now, in three days it will be the Legion's grave. ”

Kota became anxious, and the opinions of the two legion commanders began to disagree again...... The people present could only continue to look at each other and continue to quarrel with these two "rivals".

"We should not decide to send troops because of a letter from a slave, we need to be cautious, and we must wait for the intelligence of the scout cavalry to arrive before we can decide whether to withdraw our camp and attack that town."

In the face of Cota's standout, Sabinus did not back down.

"Scout cavalry? How many of those waste were sent out, and which one came back alive? The Roman cavalry was no match for the Germanic cavalry at all, and they couldn't even hide, and half a month ago we sent two teams of cavalry to gather intelligence, and by this time they should have returned, and there was no news that they had been killed by those barbarians, or captured, or lost in the jungle. But either reason, it only proves that our cavalry is simply not able to complete this mission. Now, the barbarians are at hand, and I cannot allow my legions to be besieged by tens of thousands of barbarian armies and die miserably here. Sabinus, if you do not agree, I will go alone with my legions to attack that Gaul town. ”

Kota was furious, he could no longer stand the nagging of Sabinus, an old school, in front of him, as annoying as a fly. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and sometimes the battle needs to be risky, and blindly sticking to the rules will lead to the tragic situation of the destruction of the army.

"Alright, well, lad, I will compromise you one more time, and the legions will set out early tomorrow morning for the town of the Remi."

In the end, Sabinus still compromised, the legion cannot be separated, this is common knowledge that everyone knows, in case the information from the slave is true, and the seventh legion led by Kota goes out again, only the eighth legion is left with 6,000 people, it is absolutely impossible to hold the fortress, and the number of the Germanic army will be ten times as many as here.

"General, our pay?"

After the two Roman legion commanders had finished arguing, the Gallic hunters trembled and uttered their demands. Indeed, they are here for this, and they don't care if your Roman legions are dead or alive, they just want to pay what they say......

"Centurion, take them to the treasurer and receive their reward."

Dressed in military uniform, Kota smiled and put his hand on the shoulders of the two Gallic hunters, reminiscent of Caesar's conquest of Gaul - "Treat enemy traitors preferentially." ”

"With all due respect, how much is the pay?"

The centurion has some muna, and Kota hasn't said the exact number yet.

"As in the letter, one thousand dinars each."

As soon as Kota finished speaking, a look of astonishment appeared on the centurion's face. One thousand dinars, you can already buy an apartment in the city of Rome without difficulty, and you can eat and drink for free for more than five years without working. Of course, it was impossible for these two Gauls to go to live in the city of Rome, where they had no citizenship, could not do anything, and would be discriminated against, they must have gone to live in the southern Gaul city, but such a rich reward also made the centurion red-eyed.
