Chapter 37: The Last Percent of 0.5 Percent
Standing on the low walls of Ebrana, the royal army looked down on the town.
Ebrana, the largest town in Irish land, the stronghold of the Babataean tribe; The number of urban residents reached more than 100,000, accounting for half of the total population of the Babataean tribe.
After the Battle of Belfast, Wang's army did not want to give the enemy time to regroup, leaving part of the army to defend the fortress, and the rest of the army was drawn in the second day; An army of nearly 20,000 marched south, conquering seven tribes along the way, and then easily captured the main objective of the trip, leaving only the city of Ebrana, which was guarded by 2,000 Celtic warriors.
Population control was the standard practice of the Roman Empire to conquer foreign peoples; Slavery was an important guarantee for the Roman people to be willing to play conquest with the center of imperial power.
At the height of the Roman Empire, it was fairly easy to recruit soldiers, yes, conscription rather than conscription; The quality of life of the Roman citizens, most of them, was still very good, otherwise how could tens of thousands of people run to watch the gladiatorial fights when they have nothing to do? Gladiatorial battles were prevalent not only in the city of Rome, but also throughout Rome.
The good quality of life of the citizens stemmed from the slavery system imposed by the Roman Empire; The labor force in Rome was almost entirely made up of slaves; Citizens with good conditions have a bunch of slaves in their hands, farming, weeding, cooking, and doing chores, and the citizens can just move their mouths; And the more beautiful female slaves are naturally ...... Historically, there were many citizens in Rome who were reluctant to marry and had an ambiguous relationship with the prevalence of slavery.
Citizens with poor conditions are also easy to find opportunities to turn over, such as joining the army; Not to mention that the military salary is not bad, just the land and a generous retirement pension can be obtained after being discharged from the army, which is enough to live a good life; Of course, if you die in the war, then it has nothing to do with you.
War is a sharp double-edged sword for resolving domestic contradictions; Once the war is won, the domestic contradictions will be eased immediately, and the wealth plundered from other countries can appropriately fill their own deficits; The natural resources acquired by the conquest, as well as the large and inexpensive resources of the population, also provided a steady stream of wealth.
However, if you lose, the result is ......
Outside the city of Ebrana, a large Roman military fortress rightfully towered over the field, a sign of military occupation; All the Celts who participated in the resistance to the Roman siege of the city, except for the old and weak, women and children, were labeled as slaves. The Governor of Britain would soon send officials over to begin the second phase of the conquest, which would build infrastructure, develop the economy, educate the local people, and eventually achieve Romanization.
As soon as Ebrana was taken, the royal army sent out the cavalry corps; The king's army knew better than anyone else in his time how big Ireland was, and it was just a big island. There were more than twenty tribes that had not yet been conquered, and they were scattered in the southern part of Ireland; Because the elite forces of these tribes are already hanging in Belfast, Horta has a cavalry corps of 5,000 people, which is enough to sweep the entire southern region.
It stands to reason that after so many days, Ireland should have fallen into the hands of the Roman Empire, but the plug-in suggests that there is still a 0.5 percent gap; In the past three days, this difference of 0.5 percent has not moved at all, and it has become Wang Jun's heart disease.
"Congratulations, Commander!" Villeries found the king's army on the wall.
"Congratulations? You mean the conquest of Ireland? Wang Jun turned his head to look at the right-hand man who was nearly 40 years old.
"It's not; News from Rome..."Villeiris stood still beside the king's army, looking very happy. "The Senate are looking for a fiancée for you, and it is said that Emperor Maximus has also expressed his support......"
Wo Cha! Arranged marriage!
"What's that...... Who is she? Wang Jun was overjoyed, and he hated this kind of thing without human rights the most.
"Lucyla's cousin, Velana." Villeries seems to approve of this.
"Dimension... Pull... Graceful? "Wang Jun is about to cry; This royal army of Verana had seen, and the day before it left Rome, it was Lucyla who had brought it. Verana's facial features are still gone, about 70 points; Big breasts and big hips, it looks like a sense of surname, the problem is that the height is a little shorter and the body is a little fatter...... It is said that this fat girl is less than 1.6 meters tall and weighs at least 80 kilograms!
Wang Jun was only more than 60 kilograms before the crossing, and he has been fighting and killing all day long in the past few years, although he has not become a muscular man like Hoge, but he has a strong body and smooth muscle lines, like a vigorous cheetah; Speaking of which, Wang Jun, who is 1.73 meters tall, is now only a little more than 70 kilograms.
The full message is sauce purple drops!
Emperor Maximus will marry Lucyla before this year, and he will take over everything from the old emperor; In order to brand Wang Jun as a royal family, he was arranged to marry at the same time, and the bride was naturally Verana, who had royal blood.
Chiguoguo's political arranged marriage!
Maximus and Lucyla have some ambiguous foundations, but Wang Jun is about to vomit when he looks at Verana......
Imagine being pressed under a white and chubby dwarf girl, what a tragic scene!
The hairs on his body stood on end, and Wang Jun immediately called one of his personal guards, leaving behind Villeris, who was dizzy and unable to understand the situation, and a group of people ran away from the city wall; A few minutes later, 101 men and 202 horses rushed out of the city of Ebrana.
"Could it be that the Commander can't wait to carry Verana home?" Valerius stood at the head of the city, speculating on the reason for the king's hasty departure.
A few hundred meters away, Wang Jun, who was galloping wildly, shivered inexplicably.
The white chubby chick seems to be flying in front of her eyes all the time; Unable to drag it out any longer, Wang Jun decided to go to the 0.5 percent in person.
The cavalry corps swept in the south, and if there were any omissions, the west and northwest flanks were likely to be larger.
More than 100 people galloped at high speed, all the way to the west.
In the whole of Ireland, there were basically no enemies to threaten the royal army; Since there is only 0.5 percent of the task to be completed, it means that there are only 1 or 2 Celtic armies with more than 1,000 people. For such a small enemy, 100 guards armed to the teeth are enough to deal with it; Besides, Wang Jun is no longer Wuxia Amun, and with only a huge amount of spiritual power, it will be nothing to cross Ireland alone.

As the mental power broke through the five figures, the three skills developed by Wang Jun became more powerful, although the application method was not recognized by the plug-in, but Wang Jun only managed to use it, and he didn't care about the nagging of this guy who had to absorb his mental power every day.
The perceived distance has been greatly improved, which can be called an "artifact".
Within 11 kilometers, whether it is a man or a beast, as long as it is aimed at Wang Jun with hostility, Wang Jun can detect it.
At a distance of 1.1 kilometers, Wang Jun can clearly perceive the activities of people or beasts, and if the other party is hostile to Wang Jun, this perception will become clearer, and he can distinguish the number and size of the opponent.
Up and down 110 meters, no matter day or night, Wang Jun can clearly "observe" all people or beasts in this range in 360 degrees, and inanimate objects can also be perceived, but they cannot be distinguished.
There is no qualitative change in the ability of hypnosis, but because the mental power base is large, the number of people who can be hypnotized at the same time has greatly increased.
Hypnosis requires mental power, and 5 points of mental power correspond to 24 hours of hypnotizing a person; If you have 10 points of mental power, you can reach 48 hours...; If the time is up, if you don't continue hypnosis, everything will go back to square one.
The ability to control things gave Wang Jun the biggest surprise.
The 3.5-kilogram two-handed broadsword, at a distance of about 110 meters, Wang Jun was able to move the position of the sword; At a distance of 11 meters, the two-handed greatsword can fly up and down freely, as if an invisible person is wielding it; If he is replaced with a much lighter dagger, Wang Jun will definitely surpass the realm of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" in the novel, and he will not use his hands.
Two days later, Wang and his entourage arrived at Galway, west of the city of Eblana; It was the seat of a medium-sized Celtic tribe, and under the intimidation of Otta with a cavalry legion of 5,000 men, this town of more than 10,000 people immediately declared itself in the arms of Rome. It may be because of the dress, or it may be that the Celtic female surname is too strong, anyway, Wang Jun walked around and didn't see half a beauty; If Wang Jun puts the "prospective fiancée" Verana, who is thousands of miles away, here, it is estimated that she can still be ranked in the top ten.
Of course, this is only based on Wang Jun's aesthetic point of view, but these guards feel that there are many "beauties", the difference in race, the difference in the times, this aesthetic point of view is still very big.
To the west of Galway is the area adjacent to the sea and full of lakes, and further west is the highlands and the sea.
Riding through the town, Wang Jun inadvertently noticed that several strong female surnames were a little abnormal; In Wang Jun's perception, their hostility was particularly strong, far higher than the other Celts around them.
Hey?
Wang Jun is strange, although there are a large number of widows in the Celts, and they are all caused by Wang Jun, but there is really no ordinary population that can break out with such strong hostility; Similar hostility could only be felt by the royal army in battle; So Wang Jun used the ability to detect the enemy's caste.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this ability is that it must be an enemy identified by the system to be investigated, and if it is not an enemy, it will be useless.
Well, it didn't work, change it, it didn't work; Another one, Wo Cha!

"Haha! There is such a bug! Wang Jun was immediately happy; The enemy's surname is secondary, the key is the "Clifden Resistance", isn't this just to clearly tell Wang Jun that there are big fish here!
Wang Jun immediately asked Hogg to bring this Celtic woman named Yali over.
Hogg is a purely violent man, and he rushed over with a big stride, and without saying a word, he directly pulled people, which caused a small disturbance; A few minutes later, the woman was carried to Wang Jun like a chicken by Hoge. The surrounding Celts hula, all ran away; The inhabitants, mainly the old and weak, women and children, were frightened by Hogar, the Romans were so cruel that they robbed the people in broad daylight!
Looking around at the streets that had suddenly deserted, Wang Jun felt embarrassed.
Well, it seems that I have to pay attention to the impact in the future, and I need to educate my own personal guards; Especially this guy Hoge, you can politely say "please"! If you have to be tough, it's no different from the legendary bully.
Wang Jun scolded Hoge in his stomach and took Yali into a dilapidated room alone under the strange eyes of his guards.
"Could it be that the Commander's surname is Dafa today?" Hogg and the others exchanged ears and had a heated discussion, and the focus of the discussion soon focused on how big the Celtic woman's butt was, how stiff her breasts were, and how long the commander could hold out, and so on.
A few minutes later, Wang Jun had already succeeded; Phew, it's not as discussed by the guards, Wang Jun just hypnotized Yali and obtained information. With Wang Jun's current spiritual perception ability, how could the things that these guards were discussing outside the house be hidden from him; Wang Jun walked out of the room in a huff and walked directly to Hoge.
"Huh? Commander you...... That's it? "Hogg is a little incredulous, isn't that too fast? Can't the commander do that?
"You're done!" Wang Jun is angry, these guys with excess energy; A kick flew away from Hogg.
"Get on the horse, let's go." Wang Jun was too lazy to explain, saying that the more he explained, the more outrageous it became.
After a sound of hooves, Yali walked out of the dilapidated house in confusion, she had forgotten what she had said to Wang Jun.
A few years later, under the impetus of the Roman authorities, Yali had inexplicable good luck all the way until she sat in the position of Governor of Ireland, and the source of all this was that Wang Jun and her stayed alone in this dilapidated house for a few minutes.
Five days later, Wang Jun returned to the city of Ebrana, which was engaged in infrastructure construction, with a happy face.
Villeries privately approached Hogg and the others to inquire about the situation, and as a result, he obtained a bizarre story about a commander hunting Yan Village Girl.
In fact, the king's joy was only due to the fact that he had raided Clifton at the western tip of Ireland and wiped out more than a thousand Celtic troops there, and he could finally return to the real world.
On October 31, 183 A.D., the Roman Empire, which was becoming more and more powerful, shook up and down; Rome's brightest general, Emperor Maximus's favorite general, Verana's fiancé with royal blood, and the commander of the Imperial Ninth Army, Wang Jun-Os, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared after he unexpectedly completed the mission of the Empire's expedition to the west.
Runaway?
Assassinate?
Eloped with a village girl?
Falling into the sea on a horseback after drinking?
Various versions of the grapevine spread.
For the upper echelons of the empire, the Celtic village girl named Yali is the only clue, but ......
In the end, the disappearance of Wang Jun became one of the top ten unsolved cases in Roman history.
