Roman Slave Owner

Even they are worried about letting a child who is just seventeen years old command three legions.

But your technique is too rough, you can't be gentle.

So the Roman Senate decided to send a delegation to persuade both parties.

But they hadn't set off yet, and shocking news came one after another.

Acting consul Metellus led two legions to Africa and took refuge in Sulla.

Pompey led three legions to kill officials and rebel, and was advancing towards Brindisi, trying to join Sulla.

Upon hearing the news, the Roman Senate did not dare to neglect, and hastily dispatched Livi's old friend Pulker to Capua to mediate the dispute between Livi and Nobanus.

And Li Wei also issued a statement in time, expressing strong condemnation of Metellus and Pompey's betrayal of Rome.

Faced with Li Wei's statement, the Senate was full of appreciation.

I'm really humble, Your Excellency the Consul. It was true that I was too impulsive before. I hope you can forgive my mistakes.

Li Wei said sincerely.

Pulker's face was full of smiles, who said that Li Wei was rebellious, I think he is obviously a good comrade.

In the past, he was just young and ignorant, but now the prodigal son will not change his money when he turns around.

Your Excellency the Consul, you see that Li Wei is also humble. Now that the enemy is in front of me, I think it's better for you to take a step back and reconcile.

Purker said.

At this time, Nobanus' eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. Facing Pompey's rebellion, he sent a legion, and Scipio sent two legions to snipe, but they were all defeated, and Pompey and Sulla successfully merged.

Sulla originally had five Roman legions, 6,000 cavalry and one Greek legion, plus two legions of Metellus and three legions of Pompey, so there were 11 legions and nearly 9,000 cavalry. , which put Nobanus under great pressure.

However, he still looked at Li Wei suspiciously. After coming to Capua, he was often cheated by Li Wei.

If Li Wei suddenly repented, he didn't believe it. He couldn't be playing some kind of conspiracy.

Nobanus thought, but the opinion of the Senate must still be considered.

Coupled with the fact that a legion was defeated by Pompey, he really had no face to confront the Senate.

I did something wrong before. The enemy is now, let us unite with sincerity and fight Sulla together.

Nobanus stretched out his hands.

The hands of the two are tightly clasped together, but only the two of them will understand how united they are.

In the ensuing negotiations, the differences between the two were exposed.

I have to master at least one legion. This is my bottom line. I have sugar recipes and various wine recipes. That legion must protect my property.

Li Wei couldn't help roaring.

Well then, you can station a legion in Capua, and that legion can also be under your command, and your other two legions must be handed over to me. And the city defense affairs of Capua must be handed over to Krillius, you The orders of Crillius must be obeyed.

Nobanus said.

Li Wei looked at him viciously, this guy was really not good at anything, he just didn't believe him at all, and Nobanus glared back at him unceremoniously.

It's not bad for you little boy to give you a legion, what else do you want.

Okay, you don't have to do this. Should you take a step back?

Pulker once again played the role of peacemaker.

The two legions can be handed over to you to command, but the overall structure and officers will remain the same, and the deputy general will be appointed by me.

Levi said.

I don't think Li Wei's condition is too much.

Purker said.

Nobanus glared at Pulkel viciously, this guy who only has money and power in his mind, can't you consider the interests of Rome.

This guy is suspected of having an affair with Sura. As long as there is a slight possibility of this, tens of thousands of troops will die without a place to bury them.

The deputy general must be appointed by me. This is my bottom line.

Nobanus said.

I think this condition is also very reasonable.

Purker said.

Li Wei gave him a strange look, which side are you on?

Pulker's face remained unchanged, he just laughed.

Li Wei pondered for a while, which affected his plan to some extent, but it was still acceptable.

Okay, I accept your conditions. But I hope you don't use them as cannon fodder, or I won't let you go.

Of course not, I will treat them kindly.

Nobanus said with a smile.

Li Wei snorted coldly, it's no wonder I believe you.

Pulkel sighed, the enemy is approaching but the generals are at odds, it seems that this battle is difficult to fight, he should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Pompey finally joined Sulla successfully, after having 11 legions and nearly 10,000 cavalry.

Sulla's troops divided into two groups, holding Scipio on the one side, and coming straight to Capua on the other side.

The sun was just rising, and there was still a ray of red glow in the sky.

The sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility, and a dozen Numidian light cavalry chased a cavalry in front.

As the most famous cavalry in Africa, they played a huge role in the Punic Wars and caused great trouble for the Romans.

After Hannibal's defeat, they became foreign mercenaries that the Romans liked very much, and they fought with the Romans in all directions.

The eyes of the Roman cavalryman in front were full of fear. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, if there was no rescue, he would be finished.

At this time, three Roman cavalry appeared in front of them, riding their horses and walking slowly towards this side.

Seeing this, the cavalryman couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Help! Help! They are Sura's subordinates!!

After speaking, regardless of whether the three cavalry were opponents of so many Numidian cavalry, they rushed towards them.

The three cavalrymen glanced at each other, immediately drew their daggers, flapped their horses and began to accelerate.

Those Numidian cavalry roared strangely, and rushed towards them with their spears.

What three fools!

The Roman cavalryman thought that as long as the man attracted the Numidian cavalry, then he would have a chance to escape.

The distance between the Roman cavalryman and the three cavalrymen was getting closer and closer, and they would soon miss each other.

There was a hint of joy on the face of the Roman cavalry, and at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A sharp sword tip scratched his throat, and a lot of blood shot away.

how can that be?

The Roman cavalryman thought incredulously, and then fell off his horse.

This situation caught the Numidian cavalry a little off guard. They surrounded them one after another, but they didn't do anything.

I am Hadrianus, commander of the tenth commander of General Sulla's personal guard, take me to Lord Sula's camp.

Said one of the leading cavalrymen.

Do you have proof?

asked a Numidian cavalryman in blunt Latin.

No, I am performing a classified mission, and my identity cannot be known by anyone.

Hadrianus said.

The Numidian cavalry exchanged with each other, and then led them to the army.
