Chapter 3: The Romans

"Caesar!"

"Lord Yurian!"

"Your Excellency!"

Without saying a word, Theodore walked through the middle of the formation of the soldiers, and it was still morning, and the soldiers leaned on their shields to rest or eat, and when they saw Theodore coming, they whispered hello and raised their weapons in respect.

Theodore stepped forward without saying a word, the cloak behind him swaying like a flag, and he tried to make an image of no nervousness and majesty, so that everyone could be reassured.

This doesn't mean that he can't be kind, but that can only be done in front of ordinary people. Here, it is the army, the most hierarchical place since ancient times, disciplined, obedient, true to the word, decisive and cold-blooded. Without these, it cannot be called an army.

The Romans speak with facts, and it is with these that they defeated the barbarians who were much stronger than themselves!

Theodore stopped, looked at the soldier in front of him suspiciously, his face was covered with a black blue, his hands were still bandaged, and he stood in front of him with his head bowed.

"Are you hurt?" said Theodore, mutteringly, "What's the matter?!"

"When I wake up in the morning...... Fell all at once!"

The young soldier blushed, and the pale explanation immediately elicited laughter from those around him, which made his face flush like a monkey's ass.

Theodore beckoned everyone to stop: "Look up and face my soldiers." Yes, that's good!" Theodore nodded with satisfaction: "Whatever you are injured by Weishenme, I can give you a good chance to vent your anger." See the castle on the other side, there are at least a thousand people in it, as long as they still have a kind of challenge to us, you can have a good time!"

"Understood!" the young soldier immediately raised his head and stood straight.

"Good luck!" Diodore patted him on the shoulder, and strode forward.

"Remember, courage and honor!" Theodore did not look back, leaving the words in the ears of the soldiers.

"Courage and honor, yes, courage and honor!" the soldier looked closely at Theodore's purple cloak and whispered to himself, "I will prove it to you, Caesar, as long as I live!"

Theodore did not know what he had said, and walked forward with his head tilted slightly, and could only see the soldiers saluting him with weapons in their arms out of the corner of his eye.

Soon, at the end of the human wall, at the highest point of the hillside, he saw a purple military flag, under the military flag, there were two whole rows, a hundred knights wearing delicate eagle armor and purple cloaks, holding spears high, not squinting, standing solemnly in front of his eyes!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Unit Name: Royal Guard

The Royal Guard were the most elite troops, trained and equipped to the highest standards, and they swore an oath to defend Rome and swear allegiance to its Roman leader. They are the most perfect protection and liliang for the leader, the heavy chain armor and the delicate bust of the Roman style provide the most perfect protection, the fine long swords, riding spears, and shields make them invulnerable, even the horses are equipped with armor, and the ferocious charge is the nightmare of any enemy! The purple cloak makes them extremely visible in the army, allowing the soldiers to spot them at the first time, which can not only serve as heralds, but their appearance can also make the soldiers feel at ease and inspire incomparable morale. Because it's telling them that the leader is fighting alongside him!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing Theodore approaching, a knight wearing a purple horsehair helmet and holding a long sword standing at the front immediately raised his right hand to salute Theodore, and shouted at the same time: "Great, the leader of Rome designated by the gods of heaven, the supreme commander of the legion, the first citizen of Rome, the honorable Caesar, Lord Theodore Julian!"

"Relax, my dear Captain Valens!" Theodore, who couldn't stand the string of "titles" a little, grinned and slapped the chest of the knight in front of him: "Don't be too nervous, we don't have to fight this battle yet!"

"But your safety is more important than anything else!" Valence raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but it quickly turned into a sculpture, "So please let us know the next time you go out!"

Shrugged helplessly, Theodore shook his head and walked inside, and Valence followed him like a shadow, without saying a word, and deliberately slowed down two steps.

The generals who had been waiting stood up and lowered their heads, but their eyes were full of excitement and eagerness.

"All right, my generals, sit down!Valens, you come too!" Theodore sat down in the center, greeted the generals very casually, and said with a smile: "This damn weather, tired and cold!"

Theodore's words made them chuckle, and the solemn atmosphere became a little lighter, and Quintus, the commander of the First Wing, a thin man, immediately asked, "Didn't you eat in the morning?"

"Yes, I don't have much appetite!" Diodore said, pointing to the castle in front of him, with an approving expression, "so I'm going to wait until I get to that castle and have a good meal!"

"You'll be able to get your wish soon!" said the centurion of the Eagle Banner Centurion, Mesimus, a middle-aged man who looked extremely stable, curled the corners of his mouth.

"Will they say yes?" asked Valens.

"We'll find out in a moment. Theodore replied softly, but as if he were talking to himself.

It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to break the silence. A knight of the Imperial Guard trotted over and whispered a few words into Theodore's ear.

"Let him come. Theodore's face changed, but he calmed down.

"What's going on, my lord?" asked Mehmus, turning his head.

"Nothing, it's just that our enemies are provoking us. Theodore sneered, stood up and looked at the arrogant soldiers in front of him: "They think that even without the city walls, they can make us look good!"

"Then give orders, Caesar!" Mehmus was the first to stand up, holding his head high with his hands behind his back: "Your army is always at your disposal!"

Quintus and several other co-captains also stood in front of Theodore, pursed their lips and said nothing. But Theodore felt that they must have said more than Mesimus.

"No hurry!" said Theodore softly, "Virgil!"

"Your faithful courtiers salute you, great Caesar!" the young man in the white robe, not daring to wipe the sweat from his forehead, walked quickly to Theodore, bowed deeply, and then gave a simple salute to the other generals: "And to all the brave and fearless generals, Rome is strong because of you!"

"Save your manners for later, Councilor Virgil!" Valence said in a deep voice, "Tell us, what the hell are those guys up to?!"

"I'll cut it short, and I hope you don't interrupt me!" Virgil smiled and lowered his head, then quietly retold his conversation with Colster in its entirety.

“............ That's it, although I think it's funny, but the other party really wants to fight us head-on like a knight!" Virgil shrugged helplessly: "As for the rest of the content, it's more like a defense after his defeat, so that he can leave a way back!"

"A cunning fox!" Valence listened, and then immediately defined the bandit leader.

Theodore nodded in agreement, then patted Virgil on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I don't plan to destroy my future home, it's not easy to build such a big castle!"

"How many of them are there?"

"At least fifteen hundred! and they are all quite strong, it is not excluded that they have a certain degree of military training!" Virgil bowed his head and replied, "However, their bows and arrows and other weapons should not be too many, but it is not excluded that there are a considerable number of throwing weapons." ”

"Caesar!" Mesimus looked eagerly at Theodore's figure

"I see," exclaimed Theodore, in a deep voice, "Wing Captain Quintus, Pabriuk, Paulus!"

"In!"*3

"Lead the infantry wing and line up in an offensive formation. This time we are suppressing bandits, we don't need to leave reserves, all of them are attacking!

"Please!"

"Get all your ballistas, catapults, archers ready, and start as soon as you get the signal!"

"Understood!"

"Captain Belisarius, you lead all the cavalry from behind the position, go around the left flank of the whole army, and after the infantry meets the enemy in front, attack from behind!" said Theodore, patting Valence on the shoulder: "In addition, the Imperial Guard also joins the battle and attacks with the cavalry wing!"

"Understood, but......" Belisarius suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly asked, "What do you do?"

"You say me?" Diodore smiled, then drew his sword and drew a large cross in front of him: "I will attack with the Imperial Guard!"

"What ?!!!"
