Chapter 13: Misunderstanding

bixia?

Theodore looked at the young knight kneeling on the ground with a look of disbelief in front of him, and wondered when he had become so popular.

The total number of Romans is now less than 30,000 people, and according to medieval standards, he is considered a duke, or a very weak duke, even if he knows himself, at most he will call himself an Excellency or an adult or something.

Is that the wrong person?

"I don't know who you mean by 'Bixia', but I think you may have mistaken someone. Theodore got off his horse and stretched out his right hand with a smile: "Theodore Julian, Caesar of the Romans." ”

"Caesar?"

"It's an honorific title, you can think of it as a leader, a leader or something. Whether he understood it or not, Theodore explained it casually.

"This is the brave knight, my lord. Valence asked softly as he walked over from the side and asked in a curious whisper.

"yes, but I don't seem to want to be named. ”

"Elendil, Elendil Orsser. ”

Elendil said suddenly, slowly standing up with his sword and lowering his head slightly: "I am very grateful for your help, Caesar...... Your Excellency!"

At this point, Elendil, of course, had already realized that he had recognized the wrong person, swept away his original embarrassment, and replied with a subtle but polite response, and at the same time with a little surprise.

This lord is a little too young, but he already has his own territory and subjects, and there are more than twenty knights to follow!

Heaven is not so fair!

"Don't be so inhibited, for a knight like you, anyone who sees it should come to your aid. Theodorius raised his chin slightly, his tone still flat with a hint of a smile, but it gave the impression of putting down his body.

As Caesar, in front of outsiders, he is naturally arrogant, and if he is too casual, people will look down on him, thinking that he has no ability.

"Brother?!"

A childish and surprised voice came from the carriage, causing Theodore to look up.

A petite blue figure appeared in his sight, her fleshy hands clutched the window of the carriage, her little head poked out, the black waterfall covered her forehead, but the shining blue skylight revealed uncontrollable joy and surprise.

Clever smile, beautiful eyes.

The ancients did not deceive me, and Theodore thought so now.

"This is ......"

"This is the younger sister of the next, Helena! Helena Osser!" Elendil on the side quickly stood up and stood between Theodore and Helena, and introduced with a panicked smile: "This is Lord Theodore Julian, Theodor Julian! is a lord here, and he saved us just now, Helena...... Sister!"

"Ah...... That's right. Theodore nodded thoughtfully, and the look of surprise on the girl's face darkened significantly.

Fools can see that there is a problem, but Theodore does not have much desire to gossip, and he also maintains respect for other people's secrets. As long as it doesn't threaten him.

As for the girl named Helena, she was indeed very beautiful, but Theodore was neither LUOLI nor YouNv, and she was obviously less than a fourteen-year-old girl, so she couldn't do it.

Besides, he was Caesar, the ruler of all the Romans. If he thought, what kind of girl can't be found? Rome has a population of nearly 30,000, and how many beautiful women can there be?

"We're going back to town soon, maybe you can come with us?" said Theodoro Haode held out his right hand, "I think you might need to relax, eat, and sleep soundly." ”

"Thanksgiving. Elendil breathed a sigh of relief, and her face calmed a little. Anyway, it's always haode to be able to take a break, and after running for so long, it's time to take a break.

Even I can't stand it anymore, let alone the princess, but I don't want to make trouble for myself?

is so empathetic, so sensible, but he is ......

"Valens, let someone lead a horse. Theodore commanded, beckoning behind him, and handed the reins into Elendil's hand.

"Good horse!" Elendil's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Elendil, can you even see this?"

"Just like you said. Elendil picked Helena on his horse, stepped forward from the front, and lowered his head slightly: "I am a knight, so I can see it." ”

Since the other party didn't want to say, Theodore didn't want to ask too much, smiled, and rode forward.

"Take the captives, don't let them run away!" Theodore smiled lightly: "Gentlemen, let's go home!"

"Oh-!!"

Back in Caesarea, when Theodore and his party appeared, they were greeted with cheers.

The populace worshipped heroes, especially the Romans, who romantically believed that their ancestors were descendants of Mars, the god of war, that the City of the Seven Hills was not a myth, and that the remnants of the Trojan War were their ancestors.

The combination of the spirit of unity, but the worship of heroes, romance and pragmatism, has created the Rome that has commanded the West for thousands of years!

Caesar, protected by the gods, defeated a criminal bandit in a pleasant hunt, and saved a brave knight and a beautiful maiden, such a story gave the citizens a little bit to talk about after a tiring day, and then made up more and more wonderful stories in the discussion.

The life of the working people in ancient times was very monotonous, and the ordinary life gave birth to their faith - at the very least, the little stories between the gods were much more interesting than the trivial things of the neighbors.

A large number of public buildings are still under construction, such as universities, temples, libraries, sewers, aqueducts, new barracks, residential buildings, etc., etc., and many small private industries of service nature born from the workers, such as taverns and so on, make the whole of Caesarea look like a large construction site, chaotic but very orderly.

Whenever Theodore drove by, the citizens would always show a simple smile and bow and add, "I wish you a long and healthy life, Caesar!"

The list goes on and on, and Elendil began to have some unnatural soothing faces. He originally thought that this young man relied on his family's liliang, relying on inheritance to gain the allegiance of the knights and the support of the people, after all, a long-standing family can make people feel at ease.

But it doesn't seem to be the case, this "Caesar" has an appeal that is difficult for ordinary heirs to match!

"When the heart of the people wants, the leader is invincible!" said Elendil.

"That's what my brother said before the city of Yanos was broken. Helena opened her mouth suddenly, her little head drooping, and her light tone could not tell whether it was good or bad.

"Yes, Bixia's words have always been concise and clear, but they are thought-provoking. Elendil nodded, "But his words were seen in another leader, in this original wilderness land. ”

The two guests were arranged in Theodore's own mansion and two adjacent rooms were arranged. It's not just about status, Theodor has something to ask them for. Therefore, the captain of the Valence guard did not say anything more than asking for more manpower.

Cataclysm! The message that Theodore had received from Dio's mouth before, but that was all there was to it, and this loyal fellow did not dare to say anything other than this word, but kept shaking his head, looking frightened, and kept kowtowing to beg Theodore to spare him.

According to the previous summary, the soldiers who fled, the knights who panicked, and the lower classes of society who became homeless in large numbers. There is no doubt that a certain country in the south of this shijie has suffered an unimaginable blow, without any power to parry, and may even have perished!

But if it were just that, and not so frightened as this, there must be something, there must be something that Theodor did not know.

And this knight, who calls himself Elendil, and his "sister", will become the most haode breakthrough!

They must know more than anyone else!

This shijie is much more dangerous and complicated than I imagined. The danger and the unknown coexist and Theodore has to be careful!

..................

Benefiting from the abundant supply of human resources, Mesimus also began to organize the training of recruits in farms and towns, with a company as a unit, training recruits in simple queues at the training camp, learning how to use weapons such as shields, spears, one-handed swords, javelins, and bows and arrows, and how to maintain courage in the face of the enemy.

The more gifted will also be trained in equestrianism - the saying that the cavalry is a nobleman is not just a rhetoric.

It takes six months for a Roman soldier to complete his training from recruit to soldier, after which all he needs is experience and scars. But Theodore made a bargain, and his soldiers could complete their training in just four months.

Roman garrison !!

This was originally the product of Diocletian the Great's military reforms, but it indirectly allowed Theodore to have the most adequate soldiers, and 6,000 of his population were in the military, especially the population of the farms!

In "Barbarian Invasion", the Roman garrison, known as the "strongest peasant", is a bit like the guard system of the Ming Dynasty, with farmers as workers in peacetime and army in wartime, and its combat strength even exceeds that of many barbarian primary regular armies.

This means that Diodore could raise an army of eight thousand men at any time if he needed it!

But it also meant that it was time for the time for the all-out war to officially start and all the Romans to defend their homeland.

Unit Name: Roman Garrison Legion

The appearance of the garrison is due to the reforms of Diocletian the Great, who divided the Roman legions into two - field legions and garrison legions, which were originally used to guard the border and monitor the enemy army and delay the enemy's attack. The garrison regiments, mostly from the lower classes, gradually became a civilian-military situation over time, being drafted in times of war, becoming militia of a certain nature, and sometimes serving as auxiliaries to field legions, they were all good soldiers, skilled in the use of spears, Roman shields, one-handed swords and javelins. Their equipment is only somewhat inferior to that of the Field Legion, but they also have good quality chain mail and helmets to protect themselves.

They are only light infantry, unlike field legions, they are very weak in the face of powerful cavalry charges, and they can only be used carefully to achieve victory!
