Chapter 80 - 5000(2/2)

Seeing the bloody comrades who fought side by side with him, tossed and turned in the siege of dozens of people, still talking about the glory of the 13th Legion, those veterans who had fought bloody battles in Gaul for 8 years could no longer hold back!

Under the leadership of Kirk and Octavian, they rushed into the arena one after another, chopped down the gladiators who were ordered by others, and rescued Puluo!

But obviously, doing so quickly triggered an alarm. The Roman magistrates dispatched a thousand-man team responsible for security, surrounded them, and finally escorted them to the supreme ruler Caesar.

Caesar walked up to Voronos and sternly accused him of breaking the law and rescuing criminals privately. He walked up to Plo and accused him of depraved behavior and killing people in the street.

But to everyone's surprise, after Caesar cursed the whole street, he called the Sheriff who was eager to take action, gave him a hard slap and told him to get out!

At the same time, he announced a pardon for Pluto for murder and for Voronos, Kirk, and Octavian for saving lives.

This huge contrast left everyone confused.

Caesar pondered for a while and announced loudly: "I originally wanted to announce this important decree later, but seeing what happened to Pu Luo, a retired soldier of the 13th Legion who followed me for eight years, made me sigh. We

The soldiers fought bravely in Gaul for the benefit of the country and the glory of Rome.

8 years, but after retiring, they can only get a pension of a few hundred Ore. They have no skills, no connections, and can’t do anything except killing. Many of them are also suffering from serious injuries. In addition to becoming killers and thugs, these veterans

, selling one’s soul without dignity. What other way is there to survive?”

Everyone below, especially the veterans, had tears in their eyes. It seemed that they had seen the golden years of fighting with Caesar on the battlefield again. As Caesar's status became higher and higher, the opportunities for them, the top soldiers, to see Caesar became less and less.

.

But, Caesar is Caesar after all!

Taking advantage of this example of Pu Luo's depravity, he announced a decree that all retired and serving soldiers supported to the extreme!

Caesar slowly said: "Considering that the land on our frontier was captured by our soldiers with their lives and blood, knife after knife! These precious and fertile lands should have your share, you say! Right?

"

The retired underground veteran shouted with tears in his eyes: "Yes!"

Caesar smiled and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Listen to you serving guys, no matter how great your achievements are, you will retire sooner or later, right?"

The soldiers shouted: "Yes, Caesar!"

Caesar announced to everyone: "Starting from today, all retired veterans can receive 10 acres of high-quality land from other provinces as a pension. Veterans with battle injuries will receive an additional 5 acres. Soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country will receive 20 acres for their families."

Acres of prime land! Officers’ pensions increase step by step according to military rank! This is the promise I, the ruler of Rome, Caesar makes to you, all officers and soldiers!”

All the officers and soldiers turned red with excitement and shouted loudly: "Yes! Caesar!"

Kirk was heartbroken. Caesar used Puluo's example to announce such a decree. I am afraid that his control and prestige in the army will reach a new height. After solving the worries, the Roman army will be more united under Caesar.

around.

For Kirk, who was determined to build a great North African empire across the sea from Rome, the high morale of the Roman legions and the temporary unparalleled personal prestige of Caesar were not good things.

But that’s how a country’s national destiny is. It cannot be changed by one or two people with genius and wisdom. Caesar has the right time, right place, right people, and his personal super military and political abilities. I am afraid he will still be the invincible overlord for a long time.

.

However, Kirk also carefully observed through various channels that under the apparent calm of Rome being ruled by Caesar, there were undercurrents surging.

The senate, republicans, and aristocrats are all plotting secretly

Pompey's remnants, dissatisfied nobles, and careerists are all spying on Caesar's back

They are waiting for the opportunity

Kirk walked out of Caesar's office palace, looked at the noon sun above his head, and showed a wry smile. When Caesar finally shook hands with him and said goodbye, the meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth told Kirk that he was ready to attack North Africa. And Caesar

Through the all-pervasive Roman spies, it was already known that Kirk was inextricably linked to the two major resistance forces in North Africa - the Carthaginian Legion of Spartacus and Cleopatra's Egypt.

Kirk believed that there must be Roman spies behind him, monitoring him all the time.

This is the counterattack of space power!

For those who try to significantly change the plot, space power is like the trajectory of history, with the ability to automatically correct deviations. Kirk is trying to turn this Roman world into his own base camp, deeply exploring his potential, from equipment, attributes, tasks, and skills.

Gain benefits. But how easy is it?

Caesar, the conqueror of Rome, would not let him go if he was the first!

As well as Antony and Octavian, these Roman elites and future rulers will regard Kirk as a thorn in their side.

Kirk suddenly felt that returning to Rome might be an unwise move.

The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Since there are two strong armies of Cleopatra and Spartacus, why bother waiting in Rome?

Judging from Octavian's performance, he has become increasingly mature politically and mentally, and his tactics have become increasingly ruthless. This desperate rescue operation directly made Pluto and Voronos devoted to him and became his loyal subordinates.

.

Such a wolf cub still needs Kirk's support?

Now that he has made up his mind, Kirk notified Wang Han and others in the team channel to redeem all the redeemable rewards in Rome. No matter which step in the mission is completed or how much can be exchanged, all will be cleared, the resources will be recovered, and leave.

Rome!

It's no longer safe here.

From Wang Han's observation, the Roman military port was importing Egyptian grain on a large scale and mobilizing the main legions from various war zones, especially the cavalry legions, which were rapidly gathering. At this time, winter had passed, and Kirk still underestimated the strength of the Roman Republic.

The national strength and the efficiency of the war machine. Although the civil war had just ended, the Romans had already redirected their ferocious blades towards the African continent!

Spartacus shocked them so much! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to
