Chapter 10: Flag Sacrifice - Asking for Votes
PS: Ask for recommendations and commuter passes! is crazy about coding words, making up for the loss of 30,000 words.
Octavian, though very alert, was rescued by Kirk from the hands of the Spaniards, who were covered in oil paint and ate their lives, so how could he not believe in the righteous identity of this group of rescuers? Naturally, he was very grateful, and he also made the appearance of a noble son, promising countless benefits to Kirk.
Kirk chuckled in his heart, this guy's family now depends on Caesar's influence. His mother Atia is the most ordinary aristocrat in Rome, described in four words: small noble, snobbish, iron rooster, wall grass, want power without power, want money without money, and have no discipline.
Speaking of this guy's kidnapping, we have to start with his mother Attia. As Caesar's sister, Attia was a Roman noblewoman who loved power and enjoyment. On the one hand, she actively curryed favor with Pompey, despite the fact that her daughter Octavia loved her current civilian husband, and dedicated her to Pompey to relieve the pain of losing his wife. Pompey's wife was none other than Caesar's daughter. Speaking of which, the young Caesar was also the father-in-law of the old man Pompey.
However, the multi-hearted Attia was afraid that Caesar would be displeased. In order not to offend anyone, in the name of "celebrating the victorious conquest of Gaul", Attia sent his precocious 11-year-old son Octavian on a dangerous journey in order to give Caesar a white horse as a token of gratitude.
But the journey was dangerous, as Octavian's gift-giving procession was sacked by Spanish bandits, and all the men were killed, leaving only a young Cactavian. Because he is good-looking, handsome and handsome. The Spaniards wounded him in the leg, imprisoned him in a carriage, and then quietly dragged him to Spain, hoping to ask Octavian's family for ransom. Here he was rescued by Kirk and others.
The two talked happily and got out of the carriage, only to find that the battle was unexpectedly fierce.
The Spaniards numbered seven, but under the siege of Volonos and Plo, they were not defeated for a while.
"Who are those two strong men?" Octavian couldn't figure out the situation for a moment.
"Passerby A and Passerby B" Kirk is concise and to the point, greedy for heaven's work. Gently erase the credit of the two strong men who fought hard to save people. Take the credit for rescuing Octavian on yourself.
Octavian felt that the Roman officer and warrior were both the best choice for martial arts, and he had been ambitious since he was a child, so he stopped to watch.
At this point, Kirk rolled over and got out of the car. Begin to search for the lost banner. Since the credit for the protagonist has been robbed. Just don't do it. Directly find the military flag and give it to them, and brush it with favorability.
Soon, in the dark compartment under the car. Kirk found the treasure that the two strife-fighting guys were looking for - the [Golden Eagle Banner].
The Golden Eagle Banner is a treasure with exquisite workmanship, full of aura, and arrogance to the point of under-flattening. At the top of the flag, there is the iconic eagle of the Roman legion, the sharp claws of the fat and breasted pure gold eagle, which is holding a scepter symbolizing power and conquest, and the flag of the Roman legion is hung behind it, which is the main force of the 13th legion!
The gold used to build the battle flag alone costs hundreds of kilograms! This thing is lifted to the battlefield, it does have a shocking effect, the enemy is crazy to rob, and his own people must sacrifice their lives to protect it.
To say that the Roman legions are indeed strict in military discipline, the military formation all follow the tall military flag, the flag advances, and the flag retreats. On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, the battle is noisy, once the battle formation is stale, the melee is a regiment, the commander in charge does not want to shout at all to command, can only complete the tactical operations such as raising the army and horses, adjusting the battle formation, putting in reserves, and flanking and outflanking by mobilizing the battle flag.
In a word, if this military flag can't be taken back, even the god of war, Caesar, can only look at the legion dryly. As soon as the war starts, it is easy for the army to scatter it, and it is unknown whether it can be taken back.
What's more, the current 13th Legion is no longer the hungry and thirsty Poor Egg Legion that entered Gaul with green eyes 8 years ago, after 8 years of slaughter and plunder, swept through the entire Gaul, each carrying treasures, wearing gold bags around their waists, and their crotches are eager to be stuffed with gold coins, and the carriages behind are full of women, slaves and children, successfully completing the transformation from dicks to the handsome and rich people I saw me conquer. Not to mention, even the old-fashioned old master Volenos, who regards military discipline as his life and never does any privateering business, a mere centurion, has already been assigned more than 40 Gallic slaves!
Take the words he said to his wife proudly when he went back, that is, he can retire and become a rich man.
How many people in such a legion can still put their minds on fighting?
As for copycat a new military flag, don't think about it. The Romans were very superstitious, this military flag was a patented product that received the blessing of the god of war in front of Mars, the god of war in the Temple of Gods, and wanted to pull up a bamboo pole to make a Xibei goods, not to mention that the 6000 soldiers of the legion would not agree, even Caesar himself did not agree, it was unlucky!
Recently, people have been running every day, that is, it is rumored that the military flag has been stolen, and the god of war no longer protects the 13th legion, so it is better to collect it while it is good now, roll up the thin and soft, pull the slaves, and run back to Rome to be a rich man!
No wonder Caesar and Antony were in a hurry, if there was no flag, no glory, what would be left of this Roman legion?
Satisfied, Kirk came with the military flag, but instead of giving it to Volonos, he handed it over to Octavian!
Since their fate has been linked to this promising teenager in the future, how can they not seize every opportunity to pull benefits?
The benefits were obvious, Octavian went back to offer to Caesar, and Caesar was naturally overjoyed, thinking that this nephew not only had filial piety, but also traveled thousands of miles to see his uncle and to deliver a BMW again. What's more, when his uncle was in a hurry, he was able to save the danger from fire and water, and happened to meet the villains and recapture the military flag. Is there any reason why such a nephew is not important?
For Kirk himself, Octavian became stronger as soon as possible, making it easier for him to complete the main quest that led to his ascension to the throne, and the faster he could use his power to investigate the location of the virus.
Octavian learned the origin of this military flag, and his eyes lit up. It was the Spaniards who took a fancy to the BMW he was going to offer to Caesar, and they kidnapped him. Now that the baby war horse has been ridden away by the unlucky fat man, and has been blown into thousands of pieces by Pulo's shot, what will he send to his uncle? How can you deal with your tiger mother Atia when you go back? This military flag can be called timely rain, and looking at Kirk's eyes is more gentle, this little Zhengtai looks grateful, which makes Kirk's heart furious.
It is said that the sexual concept of the Roman aristocracy is very open, complicated, and both men and women eat it, so they won't look at the sprinkled family, right?
Not to mention that Octavian was grateful to Kirk for saving his life + giving the flag, here in the Spaniards, Wang Han took Xiaopang and Sheva to press on it and finally defeated the resistance of the barbarians. Since Warrenos and Plo had the fat man as a living mouth, they slashed and slaughtered these Spaniards, leaving only two wounded fellows as a living mouth for confrontation, and the others all cut off their heads and brought them back for reward.
Wang Han quietly gave Kirk a thumbs up for his obscene robbery.
After Volonos and Plo cleaned up the battlefield, they came to find the Golden Eagle Battle Banner. Kirk naturally couldn't let these two big-headed soldiers take away, and Warren Nos was about to attack when he stared at him, but fortunately, Kirk was prepared and directly brought out Octavian's Caesar's nephew, an unbroken golden body.
Even if the mind is elm pimple and the food is not as good as Volynos, he will be defeated in this "nepotism", otherwise this time he will change the military flag in a beautiful way, but he will offend Caesar's nephew and young master, and in the future, a few words will be stuffed to Caesar, and Plo, a big-headed soldier, will have nothing to eat.
To know the way, Juliet. Caesar didn't have a son, so far!
His closest relative is only such a nephew.
If Caesar were looking for an heir, the Octavian son would still seem to be the first in line to the throne.
Except for the guy who doesn't open his eyes, who will take credit from this young master?
In front of many people involved and eyewitnesses, Kirk brazenly told the legendary story of a young man who had admired his uncle Caesar's great deeds in conquering Gaul, when an ambitious teenager proposed to his mother to trek from Rome over the Alps to Gaul and present a BMW to Caesar. On the way, he was ambushed by ill-wishers and Spanish barbarians, and he could have escaped, but he accidentally saw the stolen Golden Eagle Battle Banner of the 13th Legion. He chose to plan the plan, pretending to be captured, and preparing to wait for the opportunity to steal back the battle flag and present it to Caesar.
At this moment, Volonos and Plo, who had come to look for the battle flag, met the four Kirk, who were descendants of Rome who lived in Gaul, and the two sides hit it off and searched for the flag together. As a result, they encountered a suspicious carriage on the main road, and under Octavian's active warning prompt, after a fierce battle. The villains were either killed or captured, none of them escaped the net, and the military flag was recaptured.
Listening to this messy, undisciplined version of the story, Plo burst into laughter. Originally, as a big-headed soldier, he didn't care about being an official. Warrennos's face became more and more pale, isn't this a lie? However, seeing Octavian's calm and calm face, this boy had obviously acquiesced to this version, and he still chose to give in.
As for the fat men and the Spaniards, the testimony of these thieves has been automatically ignored.
Hearing that the flag had been recovered, the barracks of the 13th Army Corps were in a sensation.
6,000 Roman soldiers poured into the barracks to welcome them.
At that time, even Rome, which boasted of being the world of civilization, was very superstitious, and polytheism was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so much so that before Caesar set out on his expedition, he also asked God to ask for divination in order to calm the hearts of the army. This time, there was such a strange incident as the theft of the military flag, as if Cao Cao was blown off by a strong wind during the Three Kingdoms, which was very unlucky. (To be continued......)
