Roman Slave Owner

In the hot summer, there is a small trail in the middle of the endless forest.

Roman legions were winding their way along this intestinal path.

After his coronation, Livy personally rushed to the Belge region to deal with the Gauls' most powerful enemy.

After brutal battles, Li Wei defeated the Bilovachis and Suongsines, the most powerful among the Birges.

However, other tribes still did not intend to surrender, but decided to fight stubbornly.

At this moment, a scream came from the forest on the left, and Levi's eyes froze.

Blow the bugle to notify all troops to prepare for battle.

Levi said.

The melodious bugles sounded one after another, and the Roman legions immediately began to form their teams and entered combat mode.

Not long after, screams came from the forest on the right, and soon a large number of scouts came over to report the news of the enemy's attack.

Just a moment later, a large number of Narvi people and some coalition forces from small tribes rushed out of the forest.

The Narvi were called by Caesar the most savage and remote people among the Belgeans. They rushed over wearing animal skins, carrying large shields, and armed with light spears.

Fire the arrow!

A centurion said loudly.

A large number of crossbow arrows were fired at the enemy like locusts, but due to being flanked by two sides, the six consecutive shots became three consecutive shots.

There are also far fewer archers and slingers, but there are more grenadiers.

A large number of grenades exploded in the forest, scattering fragments and killing enemies one after another.

The Narvi people were obviously still not used to grenades. Their originally brave momentum stagnated, and then they retreated.

But he quickly rushed over at the urging of the people behind him, which made Li Wei frown.

Human beings' adaptability is indeed strong, and they have adapted to the presence of gunpowder so quickly.

One after another, the Narvi people were bombed to death, but the people behind continued to move forward.

Not long after, Li Wei had to ask the crossbowmen and guards to retreat, and the two sides officially engaged in full battle.

The number of enemies was large, estimated at more than 60,000, almost twice the number of Roman legions.

However, this was still of no use. Facing these enemies wearing animal skins and holding light spears, the Roman legions relied on sophisticated equipment and skillful technology to harvest the lives of their enemies.

A large number of enemies gathered at the logistics carriages, and some Narvi and Germans had gone crazy.

They frantically attacked the Roman soldiers guarding these carriages. They knew what was contained in these carriages, and their purpose was to seize these things.

Although there were piles of corpses, they still rushed forward desperately.

In desperation, some Guards soldiers directly ignited the gunpowder in the carriage.

boom!

boom!

...

There was a terrible explosion of shells in these carriages,

Huge black smoke clouds rose into the sky, and all nearby Roman soldiers and enemies were killed.

The explosion here attracted everyone's attention, and some Narvi had a look of fear in their eyes. They thought the Romans had used that terrible cannonball again.

The Roman soldiers attacked them decisively. Before long, the Narvi people were killed and retreated steadily, and then fled into the woods.

Kill! Kill me hard!

There was a sharp look in Levi's eyes.

The Romans chased the enemy into the woods, and Livi led people to the logistics carriage.

A hellish scene appeared in front of him, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and some people even had their bodies incomplete.

Your Majesty, some of the God-given weapons have been snatched away by them.

said one of the military tribunes in shame.

After the Battle of Nebo, almost all Roman soldiers converted to the Holy Faith, and he felt very guilty for losing his god-given weapons.

It doesn't matter, we will make more and better God-given weapons.

Levi smiled and said, Let someone count the losses.

As commanded.

In the end, Li Wei still didn't let anyone pursue him in depth. He still understood why Feng Lin Mo entered.

According to statistics, the Roman casualties in this battle exceeded 2,400. Narvi's casualties alone exceeded 10,000, and at least 20,000 were injured.

In the backward Narvi tribe, injury almost means death.

Levi knew that Bill and the last powerful tribe had been almost crippled by him.

However, they lost one grenade and artillery shell, but these losses were acceptable.

Passing through this forest was the territory of the Narvi people, who would then face terrible revenge from the Romans.

After a month of fighting, a representative of the Narvi tribe came to the Roman military camp.

This is a hunchbacked, white-haired old man with endless sadness in his eyes.

His Majesty the Great Pope, I am the Senator of Narvi. On behalf of all Narvi people, I surrender to you.

the old man said.

Aren't you Narvi people very tenacious? How come you know how to surrender now?

Levi said with a sneer.

This more than one month of war is the most brutal war that Li Wei has ever experienced. Both sides have fought with real fire, and they have used everything they can to face the enemy.

We Narvi people have 600 elders, but only two are alive now. We once had 60,000 warriors, but now there are only 500 warriors alive, and the rest are all old, weak, women and children. We can no longer afford it. war!

the old man said.

Hearing this, not only Li Wei, but also other lieutenants were shocked.

They did not expect that the Narvi people had reached such a miserable state, which made them full of respect for the Narvi people.

But respect is respect. Li Wei knew that kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. It would be foolish for him to let the enemy go at this time.

I still have that request. All unbelievers and Druid priests will be sold as slaves. Only converts can survive. I will requisition your 500 warriors.

Levi said.

The old man looked sad, Your Majesty, can't you let those 500 soldiers go?

They need to atone for their actions, and my conditions cannot be changed at all.

Levi said.

Okay then.

the old man said.

Finally, the old man led the Roman army to receive the captives. They hid in the swamp. Many of them had become emaciated due to lack of food. This winter must be an extremely difficult one.

However, Li Wei guessed that he might have lied. He did not believe that the Narvi people really only had 500 warriors left.

There are probably some warriors hiding in unknown places, but as long as they don't resist, Li Wei doesn't have the energy to search for them. He still has the last enemy to deal with - the Aduaduqi people.

It is said that the Aduaduqi people are descendants of the Teutons and Chimbri people who traveled south. Even now, they often fight with their neighbors and have extremely bad relations with their neighbors, but their fighting power cannot be underestimated.

Leaving some soldiers and priests behind, Livi set off again with his army.

Looking at the stone castle on the mountain in front of him, Levi was wearing a crown and holding a scepter, and he couldn't help but frown.

After learning that Li Wei was leading an army to attack, the main force of the Aduaduqi people retreated into the stone fortress.

This stone castle is located on a hill, with cliffs on three sides. Only one side has a gentle 200-foot-wide road leading directly to the mountain.

The walls of the stone castle were piled with stones, and the enemy obviously intended to resist.

How many people live in this castle?

Li Wei asked an Adua Duqi humane beside him.

This Aduaduqi man is about sixty years old and has a head full of white hair.

Although his eyes are quite cloudy, they always reveal a hint of cunning inadvertently.

Although all the men of the Aduaduci evacuated to the stone castle, they left the old, weak, women and children in the towns outside, probably because they were sure that the Romans would not do anything to them.

I'm not sure about this. There are probably more than 10,000 people.

The Aduaduqi man said with his old and dim eyes.

Levi glanced at him lightly, Are you willing to believe in the true God?

Of course I do. We are all willing to believe in the true God. Your Majesty!

The old man Adua Duqi said flatteringly.

Except for the people in the stone castle?

Levi said with a half-smile.

That's right.

The old man Adu Yaduqi did not feel the slightest embarrassment.

If my guess is correct, your priest must also be in the stone castle.

Levi said.

Well...you really have a bright eye.

Old man Adua Duqi said with a smile.

Li Wei cursed secretly, if anyone regards these barbarians as outspoken people, they would be idiots.

For the Gauls and Germans, false surrender and lying are just basic operations. They must be vigilant and vigilant.

“It is wonderful that the true God rewards those who are devoted to Him and punishes those who lie to Him.”

Levi said.

The expression on the old man's face became unnatural, and he understood what Li Wei meant.

The true God has given God-given weapons. If you use God-given weapons to attack the city, it will be absolutely easy to capture that stone castle.

Speaking of this, Levi glanced at him lightly.

The expression of the old man Aduaduqi changed. Now the reputation of the god-given weapon has spread throughout Gaul, and everyone knows that it has formidable power.

But I don't plan to do this. Since you are believers in the true God, I plan to move you to Rome. The fertile land there is many times more fertile than here.

Levi said.

Your Majesty, please don't do this. We have lived here for many years, please don't move us away.

The old man Aduaduqi was frightened. He did not expect that Li Wei would do this.

This is my order, are you going to disobey my order?

Levi said coldly.

I... on behalf of the more than 60,000 Aduaduci people, I beg your Majesty to let us go. Please don't do this. We can only hunt, not farm. When we get to Rome, we won't be able to adapt there.

The old man Aduaduqi cried.

Take him down and convey my orders to take all the Aduaducians to Rome. If they disobey, they will be reduced to slavery. Their houses will be burned down, and the people in the stone castle must see what is happening below.

Levi said calmly.

As commanded, Your Majesty.

One of the Guardsmen said with a look of reverence.

No! Please don't...

The old man Aduaduqi wailed.

Let's start with him as a slave, a bunch of fools who think they are smart.

Levi said calmly.

The old man Adua Duqi was frightened. This was different from what they predicted.

Soon he brought them down, and then the town gradually burst into flames.

On the orders of some surrendered Celts, they had to leave the town.

Seeing the fire burning in the town below, the Aduaduqi people on the mountain were stunned.

What's going on here?

Didn’t he say that as long as he converted to the Romans, he would treat them well? Why were the houses burned down?

Even the houses were burned down, not to mention the townspeople.

When they thought of this, they sent some people under the banner of envoys to question the Romans.

Livy had no intention of meeting these shameless people, but arranged for Lysias to receive them.

They all converted to the true God, so His Majesty the Pope decided to give them the best land and move them to Rome. They happily burned their houses and decided to go to Rome to live a happy life.

Lysias said expressionlessly.

That's impossible! You're lying! They would never burn down their own house!

the messenger said angrily.

Do you have anything else to do? You can leave if you have nothing else to do.

Lysias said.

I want to see them! I want to talk to our elders.

The messenger said.

Lysias almost laughed out loud, who did he think he was.

I refuse! Now you have two choices! Either come out and surrender unconditionally, or go to war with us.

Lysias said firmly.

You have gone too far.

the messenger said angrily.

Lysias glanced at him with disdain. This barbarian must have regarded him as an idiot.

The messenger made repeated requests, but Lysias always refused.

Finally, he had to say: Can I go back and discuss it with the leader? I can't make the decision on this matter.

No problem, it's just that there won't be any personal changes to their move to Rome. At most, the day after tomorrow, all the houses of the Aduaduci people will be burned down.

Lysias said.

you are vicious!

The messenger gave him a hard look, and then returned to the stone castle impatiently.

This place is close to western Germany in later generations, so the winter is extremely difficult.

Without houses, the Aduaduqi people do not know how many people will freeze to death.

After just a brief discussion, they decided to surrender.

Lysias was overjoyed when he learned the news and immediately told Livy about it.

How are they going to surrender?

Levi asked.

They are willing to throw their weapons over the city walls and convert to the Holy Faith from then on.

Lysias said.

Levi was not happy at all, and he was even more certain of his thoughts.

Do you really think they're going to surrender?

Levi smiled.

Wouldn't it be possible?

Lysias asked.

In his opinion, the possibility of the Aduaduchi victory was almost zero, and they had no reason not to surrender.

They may be faking surrender.

Levi said.

In history, these people had faked surrender like this. They hid a large number of weapons and took the opportunity to attack the Roman army at night. Therefore, Li Wei could not trust them at all.

In the East, there are always people who say that the Han people are cunning, but here they are just cunning barbarians. Thinking about Li Wei, I feel a headache. What can you do in the face of some people who overestimate their own capabilities and are crazy about death?
