Rome Must Fall Chapter 35: Form a guard team

After Maximus asked these slaves one by one, it was of course impossible to test them to verify their authenticity, because he had to hurry up to avoid other leaders realizing that they would come to rob him. people. Due to the limited quota, he chose slaves who responded to many of his questions, so the 30 people he selected were basically older.

Seeing this situation, Hamilka felt something was wrong and asked in a low voice: "These people you picked seem to have good abilities, but they are too old and can they take care of so many wounded soldiers?"

Maximus responded confidently: "Teacher, don't worry. Since I agreed, I will have a way to treat the wounded soldiers. But in the future, you will have to give more to our baggage team. Young and strong."

Hamilka was doubtful, hesitated for a moment, and said, "In this way, you can choose five more younger ones to return to the main transport team."

Maximus reminded: "Teacher, thank you for your help, but if you do this, Cross and the others will-"

Hamilka waved his hand: "The ones you took away were all old people, and they were unwanted by the various brigades. They were happy before it was too late, but you suffered a loss because of it. Of course, you should get more compensation, and neither did Cross or the others. What should I say about this?"

Seeing what Hamilka said, Maximus was not polite anymore. He immediately called five more army slaves in their thirties who he thought were pretty good, and then left the camp with these thirty-five people. Return to the wine farm.

He went directly to the kitchen first and found Akonis who was busy inside.

As soon as Arconis saw him, she complained: "Captain, you informed me before that the leaders wanted to let the soldiers celebrate their victory tonight. Let us make a richer dinner and try our best. It needs to be done before the sun sets. Time is so tight, and we are still missing a lot of people here. Everyone is working hard, but I am afraid it will be difficult to finish it all at dusk!"

"I know your difficulties, so I found helpers for you." Maximus led Aconis out of the kitchen, pointed at the thirty-five people he had just brought back, and said with a smile: "They were once slaves of the Roman army, and now they are brothers who have recently joined our baggage team. Your kitchen is short of manpower, so I will let them help first. But they have just arrived, and there may be a little bit here -" Maximus pointed Pointing to his chest, he quietly winked at Aconis.

After these days of getting along day and night, Arconis immediately understood Maximus’ intentions, looked at them immediately, showed a smile, and said with joy: "Oh, that’s great! Our baggage team Finally, some decent men have arrived. Welcome to join our baggage corps! Let me tell you, coming to our baggage corps is better than going to other brigades. You can eat and sleep well here, and there are many girls. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be attracted by them! Come on, come to the kitchen and help them work!"

Arconis's words moved some of the younger slaves, and they immediately followed her into the kitchen.

The others did not act, but looked at the oldest slave.

The slave glanced at Maximus and said calmly: "Since everyone is here, just do whatever you have to do. It's better to be here than to kill others outside." He said , and walked straight to the kitchen, with the other slaves following closely behind.

Maximus did not leave. He stood quietly at the door, observing the performance of these new slaves.

"Maximus!" A voice rang in his ear. He looked back and smiled immediately: "Pheasalus, welcome, I have been looking forward to your coming!"

"I don't want to come, but this is Spartacus's order. He said that you named me to be the captain of the guard of this baggage team." Pheasalus said with some dissatisfaction.

Maximus said softly: "Don't worry, I didn't ask you to come here just to be a nanny for our baggage team. In the future, the guard team will inevitably fight."

Pheasalus' eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "What do you mean-"

"We will talk about these things in detail later." Maximus changed the subject and said jokingly: "At least you should thank me now for promoting you from a decathurion to a centurion, and as a bodyguard. Captain, you don’t have to listen to that anymore... Anatole——"

"It's Anatosian. When he heard that you were leaving me, he even cursed and said that he would look good on you in the future." Fesalus smiled happily and sighed: "I am now I don’t have to listen to his orders anymore, but I don’t have to listen to your orders anymore.”

"Don't worry, I won't be as domineering as Anatossian. We can discuss anything in the future." After a few words of comfort, Maximus turned to ask: "You brought How many people?"

Maximus's promise made Pheasalus feel relieved. He replied seriously: "The fifty people were personally selected from the first group by the leader Spartacus. They were all from the past. There are no other gladiators among the slaves who joined the team, but they have all participated in yesterday's two battles and will no longer be as afraid of the Romans as before. Leader Spartacus also asked me to tell you that the soldiers of the first group are now There are only more than 600 people, and he cannot mobilize more. The insufficient number will be made up as soon as possible in the future."

"I can understand." Maximus said, but he was surprised in his heart: he knew the current situation of the rebel army, and he really didn't expect that Spartacus would send him so many people so quickly. , his strong action and generosity in doing things make him very admired and worth learning!

"Where are all our escorts now?" Maximus asked, looking around.

"Just in the front yard."

Maximus soon met the members of the **** team. Facing them, he changed his words: "Brothers, you are welcome to come! Our baggage team has long been looking forward to having such a team. Your own escort! And are you willing to get along with the elderly, children, and so many 'women' in our baggage team day and night, and protect them with all your strength?!"

"Yes! Yes!!..." the guardsmen shouted excitedly.

"Very good, from today on you are all members of the baggage team!" Maximus looked at them and his expression became serious: "The baggage team has the rules of the baggage team, and you must strictly abide by them. If Those who violate orders will be punished! Those who carry out orders seriously and perform well will be rewarded by me, and those who do not perform well and do not follow orders will be severely punished by me! Do you all understand?!"

"Listen...I understand. ~IndoMTL.com~ The soldiers' voices became much softer, and their eyes looked at Maximus with a bit of fear. They and the slaves in the Roman army and the soldiers The gladiators were all different. When they were defeated on the mountain and felt desperate, they heard with their own ears that Maximus gave several leaders the magical suggestion that "you can descend from the cliff." After that, most of them followed Han. Mirka and Maximus attacked the camp from a gentle **** and witnessed with their own eyes the scene of him killing everyone in front, so they couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts when they saw him again.

Maximus saw their expressions in his eyes and continued: "Brothers, the girls are busy in the kitchen now. Pheasalus will take you to the kitchen to help them."

The soldiers were excited again. They were all slaves, and work was a common thing for them. Even if they couldn't bake bread, they could still carry water, chop wood, slaughter sheep, peel skins... of.

The best way for Roman army slaves and **** soldiers to get familiar with and integrate into the baggage train as soon as possible is for everyone to work together. This is why Maximus stuffed them all into the kitchen.

Watching the **** soldiers heading to the kitchen behind under the leadership of Pheasalus, Maximus was secretly excited: as the captain of the baggage train, although he could participate in the meeting of military commanders of the rebel army, he had nothing to do with Hamil. Unlike Card, he only has the right to propose, but not to vote, and those gladiators have always only recognized Spartacus, Cross, Altonix, Enomui, and Hamilka as the leaders of the army. Of course, It is related to the fact that these five people were the organizers of the initial uprising, but it also shows that he has little prestige among the officers of the entire rebel army. Now that he finally has a hundred-man team under his command, he may be able to do more things to improve his status in the rebel army!
