[PS: The first time before the text ps, ask for collection recommendation reward and pay attention to Shenma's orz]

Looking at the approaching Roman soldiers, Qi Lin's hand was nervously gripped on the hilt of the half-handed sword pinned to his waist.

Beside him, several Rhodok marksmen also quietly raised their siege crossbows, and the sharp steel crossbow bolts rested quietly on the tight strings, and when Qi Lin gave an order, these deadly crossbow arrows would immediately pierce into the bodies of the Roman soldiers.

However, just when Qi Lin was about to give the order to attack, the five Romans gradually stopped their horses.

"That's it." One of the four Roman soldiers in a blue cloak looked at his surroundings and said to his other three companions.

The two nodded and jumped off their horses, dragging their prisoners off and walking to the side.

Qi Lin finally recognized the tied man at this time.

"Isn't this Superman's own father?" But he soon realizes that this is not the world of the Superman Man of Steel movie.

So to be precise, the man in front of him should be the same actor Russell Crowe as Clark's biological father Joe Eyre in the previous movie world.

Recognizing the actor of this role, looking at the scene in front of him, a familiar scene gradually appeared in Qi Lin's mind.

Soon, he remembered the name of the movie he seemed to have seen a long time ago - Gladiator.

But after all, I only watched it a long time ago, so although he remembered the name of the movie, Qi Lin still didn't remember the other party's identity in this world.

"It seems that I can only ask the other party in person." With this in mind, Qi Lin looked at the four Roman soldiers who seemed to be about to execute him, and waved his hand to the Rhodok marksman beside him.

"Put!"

"Buzz~! Sou! ”

The hum of the bowstring suddenly sounded, and the steel crossbow bolts attached to the string shot out in an instant.

"Poof!"

In the blink of an eye, the four Roman soldiers, who had dominated the lives of others in the last second, fell to the ground with several arrows in the blink of an eye, and lost their lives before they could let out a scream.

"You guys go around and see if there are any other Roman soldiers, and you guys come with me."

Seeing that his target had fallen, Qi Lin also stood up from his hiding place, holding a tower shield from yesterday in one hand and the half-handed sword in the other, and carefully walked towards the man who played the role of Russell Crowe, under the escort of two Rhodok sergeants.

"Who are you?" Russell stood in place, looking at the group of soldiers who seemed to be approaching him with a wary expression.

"My name is Lin." Qi Lin said, and then it suddenly occurred to him that it seemed that he had been using this word as his name in movies since he was furious with the world.

But this is obviously not the time to think about these useless things, so he continued, "We happened to be mercenaries passing by here...... Although I don't know if there are mercenaries here, but at present, Qi Lin only thinks of such an excuse.

"And now, I seem to have become your savior. What about you? What's your name and where is it? Of course, I wouldn't mind if you sued me too why did they kill you? ”

"I am Maximus, the commander of the Northern Army of the Roman Empire, the general of Felix's legion......" Speaking of this, Maximus suddenly sneered, "But now I am just a poor man who has been betrayed." Thank you very much for saving your life, but if I can, I hope to get out of here as soon as possible, as my family is in danger right now. ”

Hearing him say this, Qi Lin gradually remembered this plot.

If memory serves, it seems that after the battle of yesterday, the son of the Roman Emperor Marcus rushed over, thinking that his father was dying, so he planned to pass the throne to himself.

But what he didn't expect was that he actually took a fancy to Maximus and planned to entrust the Roman Empire to the latter.

So as a prince, he naturally quit, and directly secretly killed his own Lao Tzu to grab the throne, and then pretended that his Lao Tzu died of illness, and called Maximus, who had a very high prestige in the army at that time, and wanted him to be directly loyal to him.

But at this time, Maximus had already planned to go home to farm, and Marcus had agreed before, so he had no intention of staying in the army to serve anyone, and only wanted to go home early to reunite with his family.

However, after examining Marcus's body, Maximus soon discovered that Marcus's death was not due to respiratory failure and died in a dream, as the other party said, but was murdered.

So he decisively refused to pledge his allegiance to the prince and left in a hurry, intending to gather his men and go to the elders and councilors to tell the truth that the emperor was killed.

But what he didn't expect was that after he refused to take allegiance, the prince feared that he would threaten his throne because of his prestige in the army, so he ordered him to be executed in this forest.

This was the case where Maximus was pressed into the woods by four Roman Praetorian Guards, intending to put him to death.

It's just that he has now been saved by Qi Lin.

After recalling this plot, Qi Lin also knew that in fact, even if he didn't come, the four Praetorian Guards would be successfully killed by Maximus in the end, but they would be a little injured in the end.

But now that this Maximus has saved himself, and the other party is a general who can lead troops to fight, he is now so short of soldiers and major generals, so naturally he can't just let him go.

It's just that the other party is in a hurry to go back to save his wife and children, and if he blocks it, it will inevitably cause hostility and even hatred from Maximus.

After all, the other party can assassinate the prince in order to avenge his wife and children...... To be precise, the man who is the new emperor of the Roman Empire from now on.

Just let people go? Qi Lin was a little reluctant.

wanted to follow the other party, but looking back at the group of Rhodok soldiers who were following him, Qi Lin could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Alas, I knew that this would be the case, and I had to choose the soldiers of Svadia or Kujit Khan when I said anything. It's really not good, and it's better to choose a hired knight than this.

Fortunately, there was a group of small infantry who couldn't ride horses.

In the end, Qi Lin had to pretend to be blessed and nodded and said, "No problem, go save your family, I wish them peace!" ”

"Thank you, I won't forget your life-saving grace!" After untying the rope, Maximus gratefully bowed to Zirin, then took a Roman dagger and turned over and rode on a white horse, taking the reins of another group of horses.

After a whistling, he whipped away.

Maximus, who had left, did not know that the man behind him who was watching him away was bleeding from his heart.

This Nima is a general-level character, a character who can command thousands of armies! That's it......
