Rome Must Fall Chapter 45: Soldier Conference
Cross' angry look was like a man-eating wolf, which made Maximus feel a little palpitated, but behind him were dozens of pairs of eyes from the medical team staring at him. As the captain, he couldn't back down! So he quickly dodged the opponent's fist and then punched the opponent with the same punch.
How dare this traitor fight back! ... Cross became even more angry. He turned his body to one side, kicked off the ground with his right foot, and slammed his whole body into it.
Maximus was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the opponent. The two of them started wrestling on the ground...
Soon, a pair of big hands powerfully hugged Cross who was punching, and Hamilka also pulled up Maximus who had been punched twice.
Spartacus let go of Cross and yelled angrily: "As the leaders of your respective teams, if there is anything you cannot discuss carefully, you must fight like rogues here, you two This is how you set an example for other brothers!"
"This traitor dared to detain a brother of my brigade, why can't I beat him!" Cross was still angry, but he didn't take action again. He glared at Hamilcar and Altonix: "And you two He actually helped him bully our second team!"
Hamilka replied sternly: "The reason why the **** detained several soldiers of the second group was because they broke into the medical team camp and harassed the women who were taking care of the wounded soldiers, causing chaos in the medical team. Chaos, it is their duty for the **** to detain him to protect the entire baggage train!
The soldiers of the Second Brigade not only attacked their sisters in the team and caused chaos in the medical team, but one of them escaped from the **** and ran back to the Second Brigade to spread rumors and incite them to fight with the escort. The fight almost led to civil strife if the Third Brigade had not arrived to stop it in time, so I request that these soldiers be severely punished! ”
Cross was stunned for a moment. He did not expect such a situation, but then he said dissatisfiedly: "Hamilka, you are too serious. These brothers are undergoing intense military training. Yu, I want to come to the baggage team to relax. They often did this in the past. It's not just them, is there no one in your brigade who has done this?"
Cross looked at Altonix mockingly, then at Spartacus, and finally looked directly at Maximus: "This is just a case of brothers facing the pressure of the Roman army coming to attack at any time. A way to relax, wasn't it okay before? But today you, Maximus, have chosen to target our Second Brigade and detain them. This has aroused the anger of the brothers in the Second Brigade, so you are truly responsible. It should be Maximus and the escort!"
Maximus laughed angrily. Without even looking at Cross, he turned to look at Spartacus and said seriously: "We established such a team to resist the Romans. Let All the suffering people were freed. It was because the brothers and sisters in the baggage train team believed in us that they joined our team, that they worked day and night and worked hard to prepare delicious food for other brothers, and that they were moved by seeing so many injured brothers. I felt so distressed that I took the initiative to apply to take care of them. The brothers and sisters in the baggage team truly regarded everyone in the team as a family!
But some soldiers and even some leaders in each brigade cannot see the efforts put in by the baggage corps, and do not even regard the sisters in the baggage corps as their own family. They have just escaped from the noble manor. They turned around and wantonly insulted the sisters who had also suffered in the baggage team. How was their behavior different from those of the nobles and those of the farm stewards! Are we risking our lives and rioting just to become the people we hate? ! ”
Maximus asked loudly and righteously, and his words went straight to everyone's heart.
His voice was loud and clear, and could be heard by countless soldiers watching. They who were supposed to be watching the excitement and talking quietly suddenly became quiet, and some even lowered their heads unconsciously.
"The humiliation of the sisters in the baggage train unit by some soldiers should have been stopped long ago, otherwise it will only chill those who truly love our team and fight for our goals with all their strength! This time we must Severely punish these offending soldiers and restore our military discipline!" Finally, Maximus shouted loudly.
"This is absolutely not possible!" Cross subconsciously objected.
Spartacus actually didn’t care too much about the soldiers harassing women in the baggage team, but Maximus’ words greatly touched him, and he also noticed these soldiers outside the medical team camp. They behaved strangely after hearing these words, so he thought about it and asked seriously: "How do you want to be punished?"
"Punish with a stick in public!"
"This is absolutely not okay!" Cross strongly objected again: "This is a great humiliation for the brothers!"
"Isn't it a great humiliation for them to harass the personnel of the baggage train!" Maximus retorted loudly and pointed to the wooden fence of the camp: "There is a wooden sign here, and it clearly says 'Anything. Anyone who breaks into the medical team without permission will be punished. 'Your soldiers knowingly committed the crime should be severely punished!"
"Who can understand what you wrote!" Cross shouted: "Besides, you are setting up rules privately without our permission!——"
"Okay, don't make any noise!" Spartacus said in a deep voice: "How about this, let's hold a soldiers meeting and let the brothers decide whether to punish them."
Maximus pretended to hesitate.
Cross said without hesitation: "Okay, I agree!" because he felt that the soldiers of the second brigade, which accounted for a quarter of the entire army, would definitely turn towards their teammates, and the soldiers of other brigade had also had some in the past. Of course they would not agree if they went to the baggage train to do this. Maximus's proposal was unlikely to be approved by the majority of the soldiers.
"Okay." Maximus looked helpless.
Soon, the soldiers were summoned to sit around the camp together with the baggage team. Spartacus, standing in the center of the camp, impartially and simply told the story of today's conflict.
Then, walking to the center of the camp was Cross, who strongly demanded to go on stage first. He walked into the field with the four soldiers who had made trouble before ~IndoMTL.com~ These people were no longer the same as when they were detained before. Nervous, when the soldiers of the second brigade called their names, they actually waved in response arrogantly.
Then Cross briefly introduced the names of these people to the entire army, and then detailed their heroic performance in the two battles with the Roman army. How many enemies did they kill? How many teammates have you rescued? ...and so on, but never mentioned that they just broke into the medical team camp.
Hearing the admiration from some of the surrounding soldiers from time to time, the four men held their heads high and chest high.
"Brothers, you are all warriors because you dare to fight against the powerful Romans! As warriors, of course we should be respected and taken care of, right?!"
"Yes!!!..." the soldiers shouted in unison.
Seeing the enthusiastic reaction of the soldiers, Cross shouted excitedly again: "Brothers, I believe you will never want to see your teammates who are fighting side by side with you suffer such disgusting humiliation because of such a trivial matter. Right?!"
"Yes!!..." The response was a little quieter, but it still seemed to be far more than half, which satisfied Cross, who looked at Maximus with disdain when he came off the field.
"What should I do? It seems like these **** won't be punished!" Aknis felt nervous.
"The captain hasn't come on stage yet. He should have something to do, right?" Nesia was equally nervous.
"If these soldiers dare to let these **** go unpunished, then our baggage team will stop cooking for them in the future!" Akonis said bitterly.
"If you do that, it will only make Maximus no longer able to be our captain!" Pygris reminded.
"You - Pygris, which side are you on?!" Akonis cursed angrily.
