3. Chatter Captain

Juventus said, "God, you're from the north." ”

Ulding gave him a look and did not speak. Juventus laughed twice, a few years ago, the barbarians in the north were so fierce that they heard that they all hit the city of Rome, and even the sergeant Tancienburg was almost gone.

Uldin looked at him twice and said in a loud voice, "Have you ever seen a northerner?" ”

Juventus stared at Ulding and said, "I really haven't seen it before, but now, it's not a living northerner in front of me." ”

Without waiting for Ulding to speak, Juventus continued: "Ulding is probably not your real name, you know, this is not a common name, but this is normal, which mercenary who travels south and north will use his real name." ”

Uldin said, "You know very well. "I added another sentence in my heart, I really wasn't called Ulding before, my name was Ye Feng.

The two of them were talking, when suddenly the convoy stopped, and Uldin stopped talking, and his hand rested on the hilt of his sword. Juventus also looked around vigilantly, as if there were countless archers in the dense forest.

The leader of the caravan turned to look at Uldin, frowned, and said, "Be careful, many caravans have been robbed in this place. ”

Uldin nodded, and the leader of the caravan sent a guard on horseback, and at this time the robbers who were lying in ambush on the hill did not move.

Because they are well hidden, the robbers are well aware of the terrain around them, just like their homes.

Sure enough, the guards scouted and came back easily.

He shouted: "Safety, there are no enemies." ”

The stone in the caravan leader's heart finally fell, and the convoy continued to move forward.

On the way to chat with Juve, he found that Juventus was just a down-and-out Roman nobleman, but he still had a lot of knowledge.

He was more sober than most Romans.

He complained, "It's a time of decline, you know what I mean?" People quarrel over small things, but they are oblivious to the big things that are happening in front of them.

No one really cares about the country, only themselves, that's right, of course it's true. But they should never forget that they will always be Romans in the eyes of foreigners, and whether they want to or not, they are Romans.

You should really go to Constantinople and see, ah, that place is really prosperous, but the whole of Rome is weakening and bleeding. ”

"As a foreigner, it's very delicate at the moment. ”

Juventus continued: "I am not like the traditional Romans, although my blood is purer than anyone else. Rome is a culture, a mind, never bred by mating, and it is ridiculous that those who first came to Rome call themselves Romans, and their narrow minds are driving the country to its demise. ”

Chatting and chatting, Uldin suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little pitiful, and there was nothing more uncomfortable than the loss of glory.

Uldin asked, "What are you doing in the north?" Is there anything interesting about this? ”

Juventus reluctantly said: "I don't want to come here either, I'd rather fight in Sassanid Persia in the east than come here." They are losing and retreating, and this is to send them to death. ”

Just as Juventus were about to take it all out, a shower of arrows shot from the trees on the side of the road.

"Oh my God!"

After the exclamation, the screams continued, and the caravan leader was choked with an arrow before he could even punish the scout.

While the caravan was still in chaos, a group of robbers rushed out of both sides of the road.

Juventus watched Ulding stand there motionless, thinking that he was frightened silly, and couldn't help but despise this seemingly powerful mercenary, but he was still kind enough to take him on the run.

Juve were just about to speak, but Ulding fired three arrows with lightning speed, and none of them missed.

"Oh my God, you can't be from Sasan Persia."

Urdin could even look back and smile leisurely and say, "It's not just Persians who can shoot arrows. ”

In the middle of these few words, several more robbers fell.

But there were too many robbers after all, Ye Feng (Urdin) saw that he was invincible, and turned back to Juventus and said, "Let's go, what are you waiting for." ”

When he had finished speaking, he walked away without looking at him.

Juventus followed, and the manic horses crashed into the two robbers, who did not care about the escapees, as the robbers' target was the caravan.

Juventus wiped his sweat and said with palpitations: "Has the situation here been eroded to this extent?" I have never encountered this situation in the Eastern Province, where there are more bandits than invaders. ”

Ye Feng (Ulding) looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be the commander in office." ”

Juventus said: "It is not surprising that the traditional aristocracy of Rome did not trust the local natives, and the local administrators were people from Rome.

But this place is finished, completely finished, Caesar is useless, only God can save this place.

By the way, introduce yourself.

I'm the commander of the 14th Legion, hehe, are you surprised, but it's one thing if this legion is not there. ”

Ye Feng also smiled and said, "Maybe you will also be shocked by my identity, I am the commander-in-chief of the northern invaders, your biggest enemy." ”

Juventus laughed and said, "Your joke is not funny at all.

Do you mean the Germanic people? Or those strange nomads, who have no one to discipline and make them obey orders, is more difficult than controlling an ox without a nose ring.

They are more troublesome than the Emperor's Guard, and I don't think anyone can control them, except God and gold.

Besides, I don't care who you are, who cares about a destitute commander-in-chief. ”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "You are talking about yourself. ”

Juventus smiled bitterly: "Of course, no one cares about a poor nobleman.

I had no confidence in my future, and I had heard the news of the total destruction of the Fourteenth Legion. I heard that a powerful invading army was encountered. ”

Ye Feng held back the desire to laugh and replied, "Then we are really fateful, my tribe has been destroyed, and I used to be a chieftain." ”

Juventus said: "Then we are really destined, former enemies. ”

What even Ye Feng didn't expect was that he had a good chat with this Roman.

Ye Feng said: "You are the most thoughtful Roman I have ever met, it seems that you want to save this country." ”

Juventus (Juventus) said: "Are you laughing at me? Save Rome? I can't even save myself, so I'd better think about what to have for dinner before I get killed by those invaders or robbers. ”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "No, of course I'm not laughing at you, of course, what you eat for dinner is just as important as saving Rome, so it's not wrong to think about it." ”

Juventus said: "Thank you for your support, if other people hear me say such things, even the purest Romans, they will laugh at my hypocrisy."

You are not deliberately flattering me, you are very sincere, after all, I am a nobleman, I don't know how many good things I have heard, but none of them are true.

Actually, I just don't want the place where I grew up to be messy. Think about it, how I can live under the rule of a foreigner, I can't imagine this. That's just terrible. ”

Ye Feng said: "If you believe me, I have an idea, I have some brothers who are not working now, if we help these Romans repel the invaders, can we get their support."

Think about how those dictators became dictators, no one can save this place now, and if we can, we are heroes. ”

Juventus smiled bitterly and said: "Friend, you yourself admit it, no one can resist them, no one, not everyone can be heroes." ”

Ye Feng was very confident, and he continued: "What are you afraid of, why don't you try, are you afraid?" Are you just complaining! ”

Juventus looked at Ye Feng's serious look, he had a feeling of being moved, yes, why not try, no one has ever let him try, those people are already scared, they have been failing and failing.

Juventus nodded and said: "If someone else said this to me, I would definitely give him a punch, but I, I think you, you are different, you are the kind of person who has been on the battlefield and killed people, you know how cruel and bloody the war is, but you don't hesitate at all, okay, I believe in you, brother." Anyway, now I have nothing but this letter of appointment. ”

Ye Feng nodded, he had been thinking about why he had failed in the past six years, because his strength was not enough, if he did not get the support of the locals, no matter how strong his military strength was, he would always be defeated.

Now there's an opportunity here, a fleeting opportunity, if you want to have power, if you want to make other people obey, you have to prove yourself, if other people can't survive without you, they need a strong leader. Even if the leader doesn't live up to their expectations, as long as it can bring them victory, it's the best.

Even if this leader has many flaws, even if he is a dictator, only one thing is enough, leadership.

Ye Feng saw Juventus's identity at the first glance, yes, Juventus did not hide his identity, but if it is not someone who has a certain understanding of the Roman army, it is impossible to see from the clues.

Ye Feng is not a fool, he judged Juventus, his appearance and expression, and what he said. This may be a partner who can cooperate, Ye Feng had this idea at the time, but he didn't decide immediately, if he told Juventus everything, he refused, it was not as simple as losing a collaborator, who knows if he would inform the local Romans, what if he hated himself extremely.

But now everything is very simple, this is a place that is about to be destroyed, and one's identity is not a problem at all, and no one cares about an enemy who is no longer a threat, and now the great trouble of the northern provinces of Rome, the Germanians.
