Rome Must Fall Chapter 44: Conflict

Naples is the second largest town in Campania, after Capua, and it has the most prosperous port in central Italy for sea trade. Not only can they get this amount of weapons and armor, but also Affordable too. These Neapolitan soldiers sent out to fight were not refugees, but Neapolitans with land and assets (of course they were also Roman citizens). Naples officials and parliamentarians had previously agreed to Grabo's request and sent city guards. The auxiliary Roman army is now being criticized by the people in the city for suffering a disastrous defeat and most of its soldiers never returning. If some of them can be saved, it will also alleviate the predicament.

But the chief executive of Naples disagreed, because he was a Roman and the chief executive of Naples appointed by the Roman Senate. Of course, he would not allow these rebellious slaves to obtain weapons and armor to increase their strength, which would lead to The next Roman army's attack was more difficult. Although the rebel army under the city was fully armed, except that it did not raise the eagle flag, it looked like a Roman army.

The opposition of the chief executive of Naples led to a dispute between the two sides at the top of the city.

The rebels waited outside the city for a long time without responding. Cross, who was already impatient, immediately grabbed five people from the prisoners, pulled them to the front of the team, and stabbed them to death one by one with a dagger without saying a word.

There was an exclamation in the city.

Cross threatened loudly: If Napoli does not give a satisfactory answer, he will kill a group of prisoners every once in a while!

Listening to the tearful pleas of the prisoners in the city, and facing the accusations from others in the city, the chief executive of Naples did not dare to persist, otherwise the anger of the people in the city in the coming days would make him in Naples Difficulty moving.

The Napolians agreed to the rebel army's request, but they were timid and did not dare to open the city gate and asked the rebel army: the weapons and armor they requested would be transported by ship to a port outside the city, and then brought back by ship. Released prisoners (Naples' sea trade was developed at that time, and ports were spread across the Gulf of Naples).

Spartacus agreed.

This exchange, which made the Neapolitans fearful, was finally completed relatively smoothly. The rebel army fulfilled its promise and all Campania prisoners were released.

The people of Naples breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not know that Naples relied on maritime trade to prosper, but behind this prosperity was created with the blood and sweat of thousands of dock workers. Today the rebels appeared at the port His heroic deeds will soon spread to more than a dozen ports in Naples and reach the ears of countless suffering people at the bottom.

The rebels got the weapons and armor they wanted and returned satisfied.

In the past, the soldiers of the rebel army only occupied farms and killed their hated stewards and guards under the leadership of Spartacus and other leaders. They did not feel the impact of the establishment of the rebel army on the world. But today they Seeing the aloof Naples nobles surrender in fear under the threat of force gave them great inner satisfaction, and at the same time increased their sense of belonging to the rebels.

Spartacus felt the change in the morale of the soldiers, so he discussed with Cross whether to regularly lead the army to nearby towns in armed parades in the future. This could not only threaten the nobles to hand over some urgently needed supplies, but also improve their morale. The morale of the recruits.

At this moment, several horses came galloping forward, led by Oakmar. He waved and shouted: "Chief Spartacus! Chief Cross! Oops! Something happened!"

Spartacus and Cross were both shocked: "What happened?!"

"The baggage train...and the soldiers of the second brigade...are having a quarrel!..." Okmar rushed to the two men and gasped.

……

It turned out that the two men took into account the weak combat power of the Neapolitans and did not take away all the soldiers under their command. Instead, they allowed the remaining soldiers to receive military training from Hamilcar along with other soldiers in the group. After a morning of training, the soldiers replenished some food and water and needed to rest for a while to continue training.

Several soldiers from the second brigade took advantage of this gap to sneak into the medical team's camp and attempted to harass the nurses. They were stopped by the **** soldiers who arrived after hearing the news. But not only did they not listen to the advice, they became angry and started fighting with the escort. There were many escorts and they quickly subdued several of the troublemakers. However, one person saw that the situation was not good and escaped first. He went back and shouted, "What's the baggage?" Words like "the team bullies our brothers because of the large number of people" immediately aroused the anger of some soldiers. They gathered together and rushed to the medical camp...

Soon, Hamilka, who was resting in the tent during the noon period, received a report: some soldiers of the second brigade were fighting with the **** in the medical team camp.

Hamilcar rushed to the scene and found that this was indeed the case, and that the conflict was likely to expand. He hurried forward to dissuade him, but the soldiers of the second group who were excited to fight did not listen at all.

Just at this moment, Oakmar came over and reported that Spartacus and Cross had successfully completed their previous plan and were on their way back with the team.

Hamilcar ignored his joy and asked Okmar to come and notify them to come immediately to calm the matter.

……

"What caused the conflict?" Although Spartacus was anxious, he still wanted to ask the reason first.

"I just arrived there and am not sure about the situation. I heard that it seems... because the **** team detained several soldiers of the second brigade——"

Before Oakmar finished speaking, Cross became furious: "The baggage team is so brave, they dare to detain my brother, how does Maximus control his team!"

"Cross, don't be impatient. Maximus always does things in a measured way. There must be a reason for this. Let's figure things out first." Spartacus quickly advised.

"I think he has been given too many rights now, making him too complacent!" Cruise snorted angrily, took the horse given up by a scout, jumped up, and beat the horse Run forward.

Spartacus, however, could not abandon the team and leave immediately. He first handed over the task of leading the team to a centurion he trusted, Yagoris, who was also a gladiator, and explained a few words. After that, he followed Okmar on horseback and chased after him.

Cross rushed to the station and saw hundreds of people gathered outside the medical team camp from a distance, blocking the entrance and exit. Many people were shouting loudly, but no fighting or fighting was heard. Screams.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you get out of my way!" Cross shouted loudly.

"It's Chief Cross!"

"Chief Cross, you are finally back! Several of our brothers were detained by the escort, and they are not being released yet!"

"Chief Cross, you are not at home, we are being bullied! Chief Hamilcar and Chief Altonix both moved towards their baggage team~IndoMTL.com~ and even sent the third brigade to help the **** team to drive us out to the medical team camp."

……

The more Cross listened, the gloomier his face became, and finally he couldn't help shouting: "Okay, stop talking, I know everything!"

The soldiers of the second brigade immediately stopped complaining, and the soldiers of the fourth brigade who were watching the excitement also took the initiative to move out of the way. Cross strode inside until a neat row of soldiers stood in front of him.

"What? You even dare to block my way!" Cross glared at them fiercely, his eyes flashing fiercely.

"Chief Cross, the two chiefs Hamilka and Altonix invite you to come in for discussion." The speaker was a centurion from the third group, who was also a gladiator and was close to Cross. He glanced behind Cross: "In order to avoid further conflicts, everyone else must wait outside for the time being!"

Cross glared at him, and he looked at Cross without hesitation.

After a moment, Cross turned back and shouted: "What are you guys still doing here! Why don't you go do your own thing!"

The centurion turned and walked inside, the soldiers made way for a passage, and Cruz followed behind with a dark face.

Walking into the medical team camp, there were three people standing in the open space in front of the tent: Hamilcar, Altonix and Maximus.

As soon as Hamilcar saw Cross, he immediately explained: "Kros, you are finally back. Just now, I was afraid that the conflict would get bigger, so I had to ask Altonix for help, and transferred the third brigade to force your men. The soldiers are separated from the escort——"

Cross didn't look at him at all, and rushed directly towards Maximus, cursing: "Maximus, what a **** good thing you did!" As he said that, he raised his fist and headed towards the opponent. Smashed in the face.
