Lao Luo didn't want to reluctantly gather some wooden people, although he couldn't change the world of this era for the time being, but giving some basic respect to his future subordinates would not be shocking, not to mention that in this era when the old Roman customs were still preserved, the victorious gladiators would also be released as civilians, although it was very slim, but after all, it existed, and all Soratinok didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lao Luo's actions.

More than one hundred and fifty people were selected, and in the end, exactly one hundred and eleven people remained, a single number that made Lao Luo cry and laugh. Sixty-three Thracians, seventeen Normans, eleven Bulgarians, nine Caucasians, six Visigoths, four female gladiators, and finally the mane-headed Norsemen who first paid attention.

Lao Luo called the Nordic people over for questioning, the first Greek language, he didn't understand, Latin, also unclear, and finally Lao Luo tried only a few words of Swedish, the Norsemen began to scream, slowly Lao Luo understood a little, this guy's real origin is the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe, a typical Viking background, the name is Stan Anderson, a pure Swedish name.

Soratinok, who had always followed Lao Luo, was a little dumbfounded, because he couldn't communicate, his people kept calling this guy Lion, and the conversation between Lao Luo and Stan also opened his eyes, and there was actually a Nordic race that he couldn't figure out.

For Soratinok's amazement, Lao Luo understands, even if the communication is convenient in later generations, it is also impossible to show talent without going out to know all the world's affairs, not to mention that the exchange of information in this era is very slow, and the communication between nations and countries is even more inefficient, and Soratinok, who is spinning on the edge of the Mediterranean, does not know that the situation in Northern Europe is normal.

One hundred and eleven people spent a total of more than 300 gold solidus, and Soratinok thought it was his shame to let the guests take the gold coins again, so he desperately sold all kinds of gladiator equipment to Lao Luo. Lao Luo thought that he always had to buy equipment and clothing for these people, and he didn't care about money, there were too many precious metals in the space, so he simply bought them all here with this old guy.

So the remaining nearly 1,700 gold solidus bought the weapons and equipment needed by the gladiators, as well as all kinds of fur clothes to wear in the cold season, which was the initial business scope of Soratinok that Lao Luo knew. Of course, to choose equipment for the gladiators, Lao Luo and Nagamanaki also chose some of their favorite weapons, such as beautifully crafted gladiator daggers, chest-high huge metal tower shields, four-meter-long metal spears, and so on. With Lao Luo's permission, Naga chose a large mace and a well-made half-shoulder armor, while Mnachi chose a long-handled machete similar to Tang Shimo's knife.

Of course, the one hundred and eleven people who were excited were also draped all over their bodies, not to mention armed to the teeth, but they no longer looked like ordinary gladiators. Soratinok reminded Lao Luo with some worry: "Bartol, give them the weapon now, you don't have to worry about it......"

"Worried about what?" Lao Luo said in a relaxed tone, "I didn't abuse them, and I am not their enemy, but if I follow them, there will be hope for their future, why did they betray me?" What's more, my fists are not decorations. ”

Naga and Mnaqi next to him were most touched by this, originally Naga could cope with two minutes with four people, but now even if Li Zhan and Zhang Lu's four entourages are added to a total of eight people, they can't support it for a minute, and this is because Lao Luo kept his hand.

After everything was handed over here, Lao Luo took the slave identification documents in his hand, and behind him, Naga and Mnaqi led one hundred and eleven people back to their original residences. And Max Oud had already waited in the courtyard next to him with everyone.

Next door is a larger courtyard inhabited by Lao Luo, but it is not as clean and exquisite as it should be, but it is large enough to accommodate more than 100 people, and even better is that there is a huge bath here. Send all the gladiators with a strange smell to tidy up their personal things.

Of course, the four female gladiators returned to Li Ji, led by her female attendant Ge Rina, and these four female gladiators probably ignored their gender, so that when Li Ji and Ge Rina excitedly led them away, these women, who were almost one meter eight tall, were a little at a loss.

From going out to Soratinok in the morning, to selecting men and equipment to return, and after all the gladiators had sorted out their affairs, it was already close to late afternoon and evening. In particular, two hundred cereal porridge, bread, and barbecue for two hundred people called from outside filled all the long tables in the empty field, and there was no alcohol, and Lao Luo did not want to provide them with alcohol for the time being.

All the cleaned gladiators sat around the long table and munched, and Lao Luo ignored their urgency, perhaps these people had not eaten a normal person's diet for a long time. When it was almost time, Lao Luo began to wander around the tables and get acquainted with them.

The leader of the Thracians is called Gonzas, the leader of the Bulgarians is called Olki, in fact, it is very close to the Thracian bloodline, in this era they only have names, and no surnames, the Normans who gather together are probably the most disciplined, their leader is called Siedeknord, much like the German name of later generations, and the leader of the other Visigoths is called Alk, and the Caucasians are looser, and they sit in various positions.

When the guy with the biggest appetite had eaten about the same, Lao Luo returned to his original position and knocked the big clay bowl on the table with a spoon, and the sound of "dingding" made everyone's words stop. Lao Luo stood up, and then spoke in the Greek language in which he covered his feet: "All right, everyone be quiet. Are you satisfied with the food you promised me? ”

Several people around who had spoken to Lao Luo said in unison: "Satisfied! My master! Although the others did not speak, Lao Luo glanced around and found that there was no impatience.

"Like I said, when you get to the East, I will give you the right to live freely, and these are just the first steps." Lao Luo said slowly word by word, "However, I don't like the word master, I'd rather you call me boss." ”

The gladiators around them all smiled with satisfaction, because the word was not to their liking, but fate had chosen their current status.

"With rights come obligations. This is the truth of the world. Lao Luo believed that even the Normans, who were once called barbarians, would understand the implications, "I will demand you according to the rules of the army, which is the highest rule on the way to the East." The highest standard for everyone's life"

Most of these people are from the primitive army, and the military regulations of each ethnic group may be different, but so many people's clothing, food, housing and transportation are managed in a unified manner, and there must be regulations, and the rules of the army are the most suitable. Some of the guys who know how to manage the crowd are nodding their heads in unison.

"Then the four ladies follow Miss Li, and the rest of the men," Old Law paused in his tone, although Greek is cognate with Latin, it is not something that can be learned overnight, and at the same time, he also needs to grasp the atmosphere of the scene, and looked around, "There are a hundred and seven men here, I need you to form your own group." In groups of ten, they choose their own leaders. Okay, let's get moving. ”

"Gonzas, Olki, Sidd Nord, Alker, and Stan, you guys come with me." After saying that, Lao Luo turned around and left the empty dining place, and several people who were called by name got up and said to their companions, and then followed Lao Luo. The Naga people and the butler Max Od all stayed in the empty field, watching how these sturdy guys in front of them formed a group and elected a leader.

A newly sorted out large room, a long case similar to a workbench in later generations, a row of high chairs on the side, Lao Luo took a few men behind him to sit down, Lao Luo glanced at a few people, and said, "I called you here because of the leaders of different clans in your group, I don't object to you each retaining the beliefs of your own clan, but in this group, no factions are allowed, understand?" ”

"Understand, boss, if more than one person in a legion issues orders, it is a precursor to defeat." The rough-looking Gonzhas was the first to speak, and several people on the side, Alki, nodded almost at the same time, and even Stan, who was trying to learn Greek, nodded in agreement.

Originally, Lao Luo thought that it would be the shrewd Alki or Alke who spoke first, but it seemed that he still needed to understand these people in front of him as soon as possible, Lao Luo secretly reminded himself. "Since they all understand, then it's no problem. In addition, a few of you don't have to be involved in the grouping of other people, and I need you to share the logistics, discipline, information gathering, and coordination of the battle chief. Now let's talk about what each is good at. ”

Several people understand very well that even if the master in front of them is not well controlled, they have escaped the status of slaves, and there is no room for them to survive in this area of the Byzantine Empire, not to mention that the master of Seris in front of him looks very powerful and shrewd, and may be able to follow all the way to find his new life. So they were very cooperative in mentioning some of their strengths, including Stan, a guy from the Viking community.

Soon everyone's responsibilities were clearly distributed, the same as Lao Luo expected was that Sidk Nord was responsible for discipline, Alg was responsible for information gathering, and Gonzas was responsible for coordinating operations, what he didn't expect was that Stan was a guy who liked logistics, and Lao Luo wanted to keep him by his side if it was not easy to arrange, and it just so happened that his powerful image was not bad as a guard.

But forget it, he asked him to do it if he liked it, and in the end it was the Bulgarian Olki who stayed with Lao Luo, a strong guy who had a fight with the Thracians, who made a good swordsmanship, and was also witful, and it was just right to serve as a bridge between Lao Luo's gladiators.
