"Tie them up and take them back to the camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Appis commanded.

It has been a week since they came to the Germanic Forest, and the legion has been advancing towards the territory of the Sucumburis under the leadership of the Upi guides, but due to the large territory of the Sugumbris, and the villages and towns are very scattered, the legion's conquest of this tribe is very slow, and on the way, it will be constantly attacked by the Germanic scattered troops.

"The climate here is really ****, it rains day and night, and it's so wet that I can't wear my underwear."

Tying up the captured Germans, Sekras in the hundred-man squad began to complain. But his words were also true, in this era, most of the central and northern parts of the European continent were forested, rainy, and humid, and the Upi even said that a squirrel from the northern Black Forest could jump from the northern tribes to the coast of the Gauls without having to get off the trees. But Appis knew that the words of the Upi guide were not appropriate, because he did not know the whole continent of Europe, and it should be said that a squirrel, if he wished, could jump from the Norwegian forest to the foothills of the Alps without going down the trees, because the middle was full of dense forests and trees. From this point of view, the reason why the Roman legions have not been able to conquer the Germanic barbarians is also inseparable from the geographical environment.

"Don't complain, Sekras, you should be glad that we were not born in such a tribe, but in Rome."

In the face of Sekras's complaints, Apis took the trouble to return.

The hundred-man team at the helm of the Eagle Banner is not easy to manage, and the team is almost all experienced veterans, if the tenth army is the elite in the hands of Caesar, the trump card. Then the Eagle Banner Brigade is the elite of the elite, the trump card of the trump card. In such a talented team, Apis was the youngest, but he served as the centurion of these people, and if it weren't for the reputation of "the man who preserves the mercy of the gods", Apis would not even be qualified to join the team, let alone give orders to them.

"Tell you, centurion, how did you tear off that black bear with your bare hands in the Gallic forest? I have always been a very devout believer since I was a child, but the gods and its **** have never once descended on me and appeared in front of me. ”

Sekras quickly took the other side of the conversation, but it was a topic that made Apis embarrassed...... Shenma tore the black bear with his bare hands, this Caesar's ideological work is really good at propaganda, originally two people were fully armed, and they were lucky to kill a black bear after fighting their lives, and under Caesar's propaganda, they became tearing black bears with their bare hands......

Appis looked at each other a little, but still had to answer Sekras's question, he was the most experienced warrior in the hundred-man team, and before Appis arrived, Sekras could almost give orders in place of the original centurion.

"Actually, I didn't tear the black bear with my bare hands."

"No way, rumor has it that you did."

"No, in fact, the black bear was defeated by Mars (the Roman god of war), and when my javelin was thrown crooked, fear swept over me, and the black bear was very large, and it roared and pounced on me, and at that moment, I felt that I was absolutely dead, because I had no weapon in my hand at that time, so, at the last moment, I closed my eyes and prayed to the gods...... Jupiter, Mars, Apollo, I don't know which god will save me, but at that moment, you have no other way but to pray, you know, the power of the black bear is not at all something that humans can contend with......"

Apis began to ramble around, because he couldn't tell the truth of the matter, and could only tell the story according to the version given by Caesar, but fortunately, Apis was also first-class in terms of ability, and Seklas was fascinated by it, and even the other veterans on the side couldn't help but come over and listen curiously to Apis's "legendary" story.

"Yes, at the moment when the black bear pounced on me, I felt a mysterious force sweep through my body, like the light and heat of the sun god, and suddenly there was light in front of my eyes, but I could no longer see the black bear, not even his shadow could be found, I thought, at that moment, I was possessed by Mars, until I woke up again, the huge black bear of the forest was already lying beside me. Sekras, you know, that's a miracle, indeed, the god of Mars. ”

Apis spoke eloquently, and at the end of the conversation, Seklas almost shouted excitedly, the human beings of this era, whether they were Romans, Greeks, or barbarians, they all have devout beliefs in the gods, unlike Apis, who is almost an atheist, but in this bloody and barbaric ancient world, he tells completely nonsense stories.

The storytelling and adventures worked well, and after a few days, almost all the Roman veterans in the hundred-man team treated Apis like a son of the gods. Of course, Appis knew very well that he was still Caesar's subordinate, and he could not deify himself, otherwise what would Caesar's position be? Historically, it is not uncommon for a courtier's human rights to be poisoned by those in power. Therefore, every time Apis finished talking about adventures, he would tell everyone that the gods told him that he had to follow Caesar in order to receive God's blessings, because Caesar was the chosen people of the gods, and he was just protecting Caesar for the gods and helping him fulfill his sacred mission.

This set of theories is very effective, not only to stabilize his position in the hundreds, but not to raise his status too high, Apis feels like a bottle of lubricant, regulating his relationship with Caesar, and also regulating the connection between the legion and himself.

Two days later, the legion finally arrived in Reddinor, the largest town of Sucumburi.

As in all previous battles, the Germanic people in the town were defeated after a brief period of resistance. It's not that these Germanic people defending the city are not strong, but the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, the Roman legions have powerful siege weapons, the "tortoiseshell array" with iron walls, and experienced legion veterans, while on the Sucumbri side, the defenders of the city are some old or just adult men, they don't even have iron weapons, and the city defense is also a rudimentary earthen wall.

After a few rounds of catapult projection, the Sucumburi defending the city were bleeding.

When the Roman soldiers entered the city, they began to plunder savagely, and children, women, goods, and cattle were all the objects of the legionary infantry......
