The commuter pass of the Xiexie students bows and renews it

――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this moment, Calabis took a deep breath of the air on the battlefield, his wounds had been bandaged and treated, and there was no serious problem, only to see soldiers walking around, some people were muffling the relics of the dead in the battle, and some were crying at the corpses, probably that person was his relative or friend, but this time he stood in different camps and fought each other desperately. There was also a short soldier, sitting on the corpse of a rebel, constantly using his sword to kill and humiliate the corpse, gouging out his eyes, cutting off his ears and genitals, Calabis stepped forward, kicked the fellow, took away the sword, and the little man cursed: "This corpse was my enemy when he was alive, he ruined my family, and now he should be unlucky, he joined the side of the loser, I insulted his corpse, why not!" ”

When Peternius and Claudius, with their own soldiers, came to Catiline and Manius's corpses, Opric was holding Marius's eagle banner and standing in the pile of corpses, "Finally recaptured the eagle banner, this is your achievement, congratulations." "Peternius and Claudius, overjoyed, came up and hugged Calabis and the others, there is nothing surprising, the merit of the legion is their merit, Peternius will be appointed as a Macedonian governor, and Claudius will be appointed as a tribune for a five-year term when he returns to the city.

"Lucius. Catiline was killed by which warrior? Out of an abundance of caution, Peternius asked the question.

Just as the others were about to push Calabis out of the ranks, Karabis suddenly introduced an ordinary soldier and said, "This is the warrior." He was of the 10th Brigade. Your Excellency, General. Peternius nodded. Hang a thick gold chain on the lucky ghost's breastplate, "This is a symbol of your glory, child." From now on, you will enjoy four salaries and centurion treatment, and in the future you will follow me to Macedonia, and I will find you a good errand. ”

The soldier who received the reward in vain. In the cheers of everyone, the expression of joy and surprise on his face was the same as in a dream. Tagus and Milou looked at Calabis who had given up his military exploits because of his "love and compassion for his subordinates" with appreciative eyes, and although he knew about it, he no longer spoke, and Calabis also wore a very humble smile and cheered at the soldier.

"Everyone knows that Catiline, even if he died, was a hero to the plebeians and nobles of Rome. Whoever kills him will inevitably be hated. It is very detrimental to the path of future development. If I were an ordinary soldier, I would have been able to get a reward and a fat difference, but I would not have received this hot feat, for four salaries, because I wanted to go further! Calabis applauded and thought to himself.

Later, Peternius, Claudius, and other generals walked up to Catiline's corpse and respectfully mourned, and several of his own soldiers carried his body away on stretchers. "This war, all the Romans, is the loser." Peternius said not without sentimentality.

"But not for careerists." Calabis thought to himself, then took the Eagle Banner from Opric and handed it to the servant next to Peternius.

"Calabis, your name is Calabis, you are developed-because of the capture of the Eagle Banner, you will soon be able to obtain the honorable name of Cornelius, and after a few years of service, you will officially obtain citizenship." Peternius haha, patted Calabis on the chest, "It is said that the prophecy of the witch of Sybil, a man named Gaonerius, will become the king of Rome after Sulla and Qinna, can't it be you?" ”

All the people present took the lieutenant's words as a joke, and Haha laughed, and then went away in turn, but Claudius quietly stayed, looked around, approached Calabis, and said, "Have you heard?" While we were fighting here, the city of Fesulai had already been captured by an auxiliary army. ”

"That soldier is very fast, we must go south in two days to take over the city of Fesule and Etrunia, otherwise we will lose a lot in this war." Calabis said.

"In what name? Friendly forces, after all. ”

"It's not that difficult, get the order from Neruda to change the guard, honorable Lord Claudius, you have to act quickly in this matter, as long as you get the change of guard paperwork, I'll take care of the rest of Etrunia's affairs." Back in Rome, you'll have one of the best mansions in the Palatine Hill. ”

Claudius laughed and said, "It's a pity, you're the doorman of my brother-in-law I hate the most, otherwise we'd be the best friends." ”

"It's okay, I'm a person who knows what to go by." Just as Claudius was satisfied, Calabis's leg, who was standing in place, was suddenly grabbed by a bloody hand! Calabis, no, is now called Calabis for the time being. The master of the scales of Gao Nalius shook his wit, raised his foot and was about to trample the owner of the bloody hand, but when he saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, he cried out for help in panic: "Please, don't kill me, I am not a rebel." ”

Several people dragged the boy out of the pile of dead people, he was covered in blood, and he was so frightened that he was sifting chaff, and Calabis patted him from head to toe, confirming that the blood on his body was someone else's blood, "You are not a rebel, who is it?" ”

"Habaruka, a Phoenician bookkeeper, I had crossed the sea to the city of Rome to collect a debt from Catiline on behalf of my master, but they had taken me all the way here. Oh my God, Ismo, the God of Wealth, I've finally escaped. The boy took a sip of the heated fruit wine, and could not speak.

"Where is your master?" Calabis asked kindly.

"My master is the Lebidaus family of Sardinia."

Calabis looked the little fellow up and down in astonishment, and then said, "When I return to the army, I will send you back to the island of Sardinia, and you will follow me now, and I will hire you as an attaché to the scale officer of the legion, and give you a dinar a day, how about it?" ”

As a result, Calabis was startled, and the young man held his thigh with his bloody hand and half kneeled, and burst into tears, "One dinar, one dinar a day." I knew which of the little pink quails I had sacrificed to Ismo before I left had worked. What a fortune I will get! You know, noble man, that I went from Sardinia to Rome to collect debts, and my extra allowance for a day was only two as. "Calabis was a little amused, and said that if you know how to keep accounts, you can follow me, and your master is not very good to you so stingy.

Unexpectedly, the young Habaruka shook his head firmly, saying that the master's family was now struggling to make a living, and that he had only managed to make up twenty talents by auctioning off all the wheat in the Grange in advance, and lent them to Catiline, hoping that he would turn over after becoming an archon. Soon the creditors will surely come to the Grange and take away all the wheat they have harvested, and it is difficult to say whether the family and the master will survive the winter.

"Li Bida family, is it really so down? Isn't Old Li Bida still the former consul? Calabis asked curiously. (To be continued......)
