When Xu Mo arrived at the place where the gladiator leaders were, Cabal was arguing with Lagerseus, and the two men were fighting each other, while Eumes and Chisonis were silent, bowing their heads in contemplation. It seems that after the excitement of the beginning of the uprising, everyone has finally begun to discuss the future of this team, and there are already different opinions.

Seeing Xu Mo's arrival, Cabal and Lagerseus stopped arguing and were silent, and Chisonis approached Xu Mo and told him what they were discussing. It turned out that Cabal and Lagerseus had a disagreement over the direction in which the rebel army was advancing.

Cabal proposed that the rebel army go south, cross the sea through the Strait of Messina on the Brution Peninsula into Sicily, and then expand the scale of the uprising in Sicily, and even learn from the Sicilian slave revolt decades earlier to establish its own state.

Lagertius proposed that the rebels go north to join up with the rebels of Spartacus on Mount Vesvi against the Roman rulers.

As for Eumes and Chisonis on the route, whether it is south or north, they have no opinion, but the purpose is different. Heading south, they would cross the sea to Greece and return to Sparta, while north would pass through the foothills of the eastern Alps into the Roman province of Dalmatia (southern Slovenia and southern Croatia) and then back to Sparta via Epirus (Algeria and northern Greece).

Xu Mo sighed, if the fragmentation of the rebel army was the first drawback of losing Artemis, then now the second drawback is also beginning to appear, that is, the rebel army has no decisive voice that can determine the future.

The composition of the rebel army was too complex, not only were there many races, but the process of becoming a slave was also different. Cabal, Lagerseus, and others were sold into slavery as children and grew up almost in gladiator schools, and the like made up about half of the rebels.

This part of the gladiators because of the gladiator training since childhood, personal combat skills are proficient, but the knowledge of other aspects of society is basically blank, it can be said that the physical maturity, but the psychological immaturity of the big boys.

The rest of the rebels were sold to gladiator schools after they became adults, including peasants, craftsmen, bankrupt merchants, and so on. These people are far inferior to the previous part of the gladiators in terms of combat strength, but they have certain survival skills and social common sense. However, because the gladiator status of the gladiator school was supported by force, their status in the rebel army was not high.

A very small part of the rebel army was the Spartan Regiment, and the Spartans who became prisoners of war were basically teenagers who had just entered the army when they were captured. When these young warriors were captured, they were not psychologically mature enough to fight to the death. Adult warriors like Artemis were rarely captured alive unless they were too badly wounded to fight again.

Because the Spartans despised culture and education, and in addition to the nobility, ordinary teenagers were only required to be able to write orders and notes, so the Spartan regiment did not actually have any warriors with leadership skills except for the dead Artemis.

Before becoming a slave, Cabal was originally just a ten-year-old Carthaginian boy who settled in Sicily, and the best memories were in Sicily, and after being freed, the first thought was, of course, to recreate the best memories in his memory.

Ragseus was a Thracian, and after Thrace became a Roman province, he was effectively homeless, and following the rebel hero Spartacus, who was also a Thracian, was his only option.

Eumes and Chisionis were already worried about the current state of the rebels, but they also had little to do. After discussing for a long time, they finally remembered that there was also an unappreciated leader of the Spartan regiment - Arres.

Xu Mo looked at these big boys with a gloomy face. In his heart, if he could, he would rather leave the gang alone, he had never been so despised in any world. Looking at what these big boys discussed, you can see that they have been discussing for a long time, and it is only because they can't come to a final conclusion that they remember that there is such a Spartan commander as him.

Omus and Chisonis turned their faces a little embarrassed, and proposed that Xu Mo be the head of the group. But because when they were in the manor, Xu Mo proposed to leave the other gladiators behind, which made the two of them dissatisfied in their hearts. When everyone was discussing just now, the two of them selectively forgot about Xu Mo almost at the same time.

"Didn't Artemis help you make arrangements after the uprising during her lifetime?" Xu Mo held back his anger and asked coldly.

"The things that Artemis ordered were all preparations for the uprising to escape from the manor, and he didn't say much about what happened after that." Omes thought for a moment and said.

"I've heard Artemis say once, he said that after the success of the uprising, he wanted us to break up and flee to Greece in a team of dozens of people, but I don't know the specific plan!" Chisonis had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then he said.

Xu Mo nodded, Artemis's plan was half feasible, because about half of the rebels had both social knowledge and survival skills, as well as considerable force. If a group of several dozen people is in a group, as long as they are careful not to leave obvious traces of rebellion along the way, they do have a good chance of escaping to Greece.

However, half of this plan is not feasible, because gladiator slaves like Cabal and Lagerseus, who grew up in gladiator schools, have no social knowledge and survival skills, and it is foolish to expect them to be able to go all the way from southern Italy to Greece.

"Eumes, Chisionis, since you can still think of me, for the sake of fellow Spartans, I will help you one more time, remember, this is the last time! After this time, you will find another candidate for the position of head of the regiment! Xu Mo said lightly.

"Because of your procrastination, it has been more than half of the night since last night's uprising, and Bardax should be in the Doge's Palace in Pompeii by now, and the Roman army in Pompeii may have gone out of the city to search for us!" Xu Mo said calmly, "Our troops are undisciplined, and the march is too loose to hide their whereabouts along the way, so whether we go south or north, we will be caught up by the Romans, and battle is inevitable." ”

"We are not afraid of battle, let those Romans come!" Ragseus said heroically.

"I have two suggestions for you to choose from about the future of the rebels. One is the plan that Artemis originally gave you, you can spread up into small teams, so that at least half of the people will escape the battle behind, and if you are lucky, more than a quarter of them will return to their original hometowns. Xu Mo touched his chin and said cautiously.

"Is there another suggestion?" Cabal's heart moved.

"If you are not willing to separate, then a battle with the Romans is inevitable. My other suggestion is to stay put, right here, at the foot of the Bardax estate, and fight the Romans! Xu Mo smiled faintly.

Pompeii's original standing army was only 2,000 men, and today is the Fiblum Festival, and the garrison in the city needs to maintain law and order in Pompeii, and there are also gladiatorial performances in the arena, and the army that comes out to pursue the rebels is only a few hundred people.

The regular Roman army was good at group fighting, and the individual force was not high, and the gladiators were not good at group fighting, but the individual force was stronger. The terrain at the foot of the hill of the Bardax estate was narrow, which was not conducive to the deployment of the army.

If the rebels had waited for their work and relied on the terrain to disrupt the pursuing Roman formation, they would have a great chance of victory once the melee began. After defeating these hundreds of regular troops, the part of the army in Pompeii did not dare to come out to pursue them again, and then the rebel army had a temporary space and time to operate.

More importantly, since it was decided to unite and fight the Romans, it was clear that going north to join the Spartacus rebels would be the next choice for the Bardacus rebels.

However, Xu Mo's two proposals were not supported by Cabal and Lagerseus, and Eumes and Chisonis also chose to remain silent after hesitating for a moment.

Even so, Xu Mo just smiled and walked away, when he made these two suggestions, he knew that he would not be accepted by these big boys, and he just tried his best, not to mention that his purpose was not here. If he really had to go to great lengths to maintain such a fragmented rabble, I am afraid that his final result would not be much better than that of Spartacus in history.

Eventually, because there were relatively few people who supported Cabal to go to Sicily, the rebels immediately followed the advice of Lagerseus and immediately went north to Vesvi to join the Spartacus rebels.

"Boss, how are you going?" After Xu Mo came back, Dinah asked with interest.

"Dinah, distribute the weapons from our two wagons to the gladiators, but the plate armor must first arm all of our men, then the Spartan soldiers, and the rest of the battle will be up to us." Xu Mo said with a solemn face.

Although the leaders of the four rebel armies in Kabal did not want to see Xu Mo, they still expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the weapons he had collected and distributed to the other gladiators. But even so, their weapons are still insufficient.

The weapons sent to them by the three Roman reincarnations were limited by the number of weapons, and there were not many iron weapons in the arsenal of Bardax Manor, in fact, there were more than 400 gladiator teams, and a small number of people only held farm tools and wooden sticks, and as for armor, most of them did not have them.

"Max, Helrington, how many Germanic and Gallic gladiators are willing to follow you now?" Xu Mo asked lightly.

After getting Max's answer, Xu Mo was very satisfied, the miscellaneous slaves attracted by the three female reincarnators could be ignored, there were more than ten Germanic gladiators attracted by Max, and Hairington almost also had followers of this number, and Xu Mo himself also recruited five Spartan warriors in the Spartan regiment, plus their six reincarnations, in fact, they already had more than thirty combat power.

After these people all put on plate armor and took weapons, they can already play a certain role in a small battle.
