Amidio was speechless for a long time, only waved his hand to signal all the servants and maids in the restaurant to retreat, and then considered it for a long time before he said: "If the Iron Devil cannot become the main force of the Republic, the remaining 3,000 or so 'Iron Hearts' will definitely be turned into private troops by the big men in the Republic, and become a tool for local governors to exploit the colonies or secretly attack each other."

And this is not the most serious consequence, if these iron devils fall into the hands of some ambitious senators, lords, and even 'Bloody May' may re-enter the world..."

"No, Amido," Arecio's face turned blue unconsciously when he heard this, and he interrupted his friend's words, "The current republic is no longer an era of dictatorship, it shouldn't be." ”

Hearing this, Amidio turned disdainful and said, "In the era of dictatorship, the ancestor of the two most noble families of the Republic, Gaius? Julius? Caesar's dictator could have been murdered by sixty senators and senators in the National Theater, let alone now.

Who knows what the big names in the Senate and the House of Lords are thinking, so I think it would be better to sell those 3,000 'iron hearts' to the people of Dongzhou.

First, there are many factions of big families in the republic, and selling the Iron Devil to a certain noble family will definitely arouse the hatred of many families who are enemies of it, and it is better to remain neutral;

Second, doing business with the Dongzhou Baron will definitely get a higher price than selling it to the big people in the country, and all those who participate in the Carthaginian conquest, whether ordinary soldiers or legion commanders, can get more war dividends;

The third is that although the Iron Devil is strong, the number is only three thousand, but it does not explode within the republic, in fact, a main army is mainly suppressed, so even if it is obtained by the Dongzhou people, it will never be counterattacked..."

Before he could finish his words, Arecio suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Fourth, if it is a trade with a foreigner, the price of the Iron Devil is easier to be manipulated by your father, Marshal Scipio. ‘

And if he gets more wealth, he will have a greater chance of becoming the vice-consul of the republic after he leaves the army, right? ”

Hearing this, Amidio was silent for a long time, and finally chose to speak bluntly: "This is what he deserves, isn't it."

If my family had Caesar, Anthony... With such a noble surname, the conquest of Carthage alone was enough for my father to become consul of the republic.

But now all he was trying to find was the position of Vice-Consul. ”

Seeing that Amidio frankly admitted his guess, Arecio's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up from the high-backed chair, opened his mouth as if he wanted to roar, but finally stiffened for a while and then sat down decadently like a deflated ball, and muttered in despair: "Your words make a lot of sense, Amideo, I can't refute it."

But, but such words should not come out of your mouth, and you should not beat the eldest son of the Shilov family from the age of twenty-one to be humiliated for a toasting girl;

At the age of twenty-five, he dared to expel the cowardly heir of the Adolov family from the main army as the commander of ten;

After becoming a centurion at the age of thirty, he refused the pleas of the governor of Normat on the grounds that he was not in accordance with the laws of the Republic, and beheaded the steward he sent... All the brave warriors of the Golden Oak Legion, known as the 'Righteous One', uttered it out of the mouth of Amityomiris! ”

"I'm sorry my dear friend," Amidio stood up after a moment of silence and said softly, "When the huge and incomparable chariot of Western Qin is getting more and more off the road, if it is just alone, even if it is broken, I will do my best to stop it."

But now that Asali has a child, I have no choice but to board the chariot and accompany it until the day of destruction. After that, he walked out of the restaurant silently.

Time flies, and it's been two days.

In the early morning, on the wide tree-lined stone avenues outside Puerto Montero, Zhang stood in front of a carriage pulled by four horses, and said goodbye to the warm Amideo with a smile.

After several days of hospitality from his master, Zhang Huansheng and Amideo had already gotten along with each other as if they had been friends for many years, and his speech seemed to be much more casual, "Amideo, I really never expected that as soon as I set foot on Xizhou, I met the Carthaginian conqueror, the eldest son of the great Marshal Scipio of Western Qin, and made friends with him at first sight.

In short, thank you for telling me your family history in private and honestly, and for writing a letter of introduction for me, which made me feel as if I had achieved the goal of crossing the ocean and rushing to Xiqin thousands of miles away. ”

Wearing a short-sleeved shirt with linen inlaid leather, wearing only a fat leather shorts on the lower body, his bare legs but covering a piece of animal skin at his knees, and wearing leather boots, Amidio said with a smile: "I am also honored to have your friendship, and I am still alive Sir."

But whether or not you can make a deal with my father is ultimately not our friendship, but your bid. ”

"Don't worry, Amidio, I'm very sincere about this business." Zhang Huansheng laughed, and then said goodbye to Amidio according to the etiquette of Yanhuang, got into the carriage, and walked away.

After bidding farewell to Zhang, Amideo returned to his official residence.

Entering the bedroom, he took out a disc-like crystal mirror from his arms, gently touched the edge, and prayed: "Great Hermes, you are the protector of all travelers, the most agile and lightning-fast life in the world... I pray for your help... May the glory of the Olympic summit last forever. ”

When the words landed, a faint mist rose from the crystal mirror, and after slowly dissipating, the vicissitudes of a thin old man's face appeared.

"That Baron Zhang has already set off, father," Amidio said with a blank face, looking at the old man, "With five hundred light infantry as his entourage, it will take about three days to reach the blue capital." ”

Hearing this, the old man also said expressionlessly: "Being escorted by three 'conqueror'-level giant ships to come to Western Qin, that Baron Zhang's noble identity should be beyond doubt.

I have heard before that unlike our Saxons and Prussia in the Western Continent, the power of the Yanhuang nobles in the Eastern Continent is very strong, even the lowest-ranking barons have the strength comparable to the earls and even marquis of the small countries in the Western Continent, which seems to be really good. ”

Amidio nodded and said, "That's true, I've already inquired about the most precious goods he has come to Western Qin this time, and the most precious goods he has come to Western Qin this time are actually nine sets of spell scrolls that can build the entire city in half a day."

Three of them can build enough cities to accommodate tens of thousands of people to cultivate and live, and the remaining six can also build small cities that can accommodate thousands or tens of thousands of people. ”
