Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    News of Caesar's defeat had not yet reached Rome, and the only thing Pompey and the Senate were now worried about was Caesar's growing power and prestige.

    If this continues, it will probably be difficult for them to control Caesar.

    Pompey came up with an idea at this time. Before the barbarians on the other side of the Rhine were conquered, he couldn't wait to establish the province of Germania and appointed Chorus as the governor of the province to divide Caesar.  of rights.

    Of course, there is a certain danger in this. Will this anger Caesar?  After all, it was Caesar himself who was conquering it.  Caesar is not someone who likes to give away his rights.

    But Pompeo decided to try his best.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    On the morning of the next day, the two consuls and fifteen senators came to Pompey's mansion as usual. They were ready to wait for Pompey's call to start handling today's official business. Because although Pompey only slept seven days a day,  hours, but he hates getting up early.  But something was different today. As soon as these Roman dignitaries arrived on the Palatine Hill, Pompey's most trusted subordinate Bilusis, who had been waiting for them here, immediately took them to Pompey.

    Several important issues were discussed first, and a decision was quickly made: continue to mobilize Roman legions from various places to the Danube region to support Caesar to help him eliminate the rebellion there; appoint Gaelius as the commander of this army.  At the same time, Centumarus was appointed governor of the newly established province of Germania.

    In fact, these people all know that the so-called aid to Caesar is just to supervise him and disperse his power.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    In order to pray for victory in this war, Rome made sacrifices to the temples of the gods.

    Next came the discussion of some secondary issues: whether to increase taxes on imported silks, gems, spices and other luxury goods; whether to increase the original three juries to four and let the newly added one handle it  Small disputes; whether it was necessary to rebuild a road to Gaul, etc. These issues were almost all final decisions based on Pompey's opinions, and the whole morning passed at work.

    When the official document with the seal of the Senate was delivered to Centumaros, since the province of Germania was directly under the control of the Senate, he was already the governor of Germania, but he only lacked a symbol.  Just a sexual ritual.

    Centumaros briefly glanced at the official document, put it on the desk, and then handed a newly prepared list to the butler who was waiting next to him: "Ask those on the list to come to Rome as soon as possible. Those in the provinces will  Let them go directly to Germania and say that Centumaros needs them; prepare the clothes I will wear at the popular meeting in the afternoon, remember not to wear dark colors; and tell Achille and Amazon that I am very  I will take them back to their hometown soon; and I will be here to pick up some letters in an hour."

    After saying that, he began to immerse himself in work again.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The afternoon sun spreads its proud light over Mount Albaron. On this holy mountain nineteen kilometers away from the city of Rome, Roman citizens gathered, and various Roman families sent their representatives. Among them, the  Almost all the members of the Quinctilius family of Tumarus were present, ready to celebrate the glory of their family.

    Today, the person who presided over the popular assembly was the famous Ostio of the Senate, who was also a member of Pompey's cabinet.  Beside him stood three Roman oracle priests. The altar in the center of the open space was burning with a blazing fire, and the victims to be sacrificed were neatly placed aside.

    "I swear! With all my heart and soul: I will never betray my country! Nor will I allow any Roman citizen to abandon her in her time of danger! O great and supreme Jupiter, if I betray my oath,  Just let me die in the most shameful way!"

    Sentumaros, who was dressed in a milky white toga, solemnly swore an oath in front of the altar.  The gorgeous firelight reflected on his handsome face, and his usually indifferent eyes seemed to have a ball of flame beating inside.

    Bunches of long ribbons made of slender wool dyed red were carefully tied to the sacrifice, and then the priests threw it into the fire.

    "We prove that Prius Quinctilius Centumaros made his pledge in the presence of the gods and in the popular assembly of Rome! May the gods protect him and bring more to Rome  Glory!¡±

    The three white-haired priests stretched out their hands and raised them to the sky, as if to embrace the sunshine shining on the earth.

    Theo walked to the altar, put a piece of provincial consul's clothing on Sentumarus, looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "Sentumarus, don't forget your oath, remember  The people of Rome are watching you

    Centumarus turned around and looked silently at the crowd cheering his name. Five captains lined up around him solemnly, holding their heads high.??The axes and clubs of the consuls, these are Roman veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. From today on, they are the escorts of Centumarus. They will not leave their commander unless they die. This is Rome.  Give her warriors the greatest honor.

    Representatives of each family came forward to bless Centumaros in turn, followed by some famous Roman citizens, and the women scattered flower petals to their hero.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    After all the ceremonies were over, the crowd on the Holy Mountain formed a stream of people, crowding Centumaros and his guard of honor and walking towards the city of Rome. The elders of the Quinctilius family proudly walked at the front.

    In the evening, the new governor of Germania returned to his home.  In the secret meeting within the family just now, the elders of the Quinctilius family agreed to all Centumaros's requirements without much consideration: first, prepare a huge sum of money for Centumaros' use.  It will be mainly used to reward the soldiers, so that they can love Centumaros more; Centumaros can dispatch all the "Cronion" of the Kunctilius family; the family is located in Puteo  Weapons workshops in places such as Li and Norek must try their best to reject large orders and be ready to meet Centumaros' possible needs.

    As soon as he walked into the front hall, a delicate and plump body came close to his back, and the familiar fragrant aroma immediately hit his nostrils. A pair of slender arms wrapped around Centumaros' neck, and his plump lips pressed against his ears.  Said: "Cruel Centumaros!"

    Centumaros gently hugged the person behind him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and smiled: "Dear Singroya, my heart melted when I saw you.  "

    Lying in his arms was Singroa, a famous beauty in Rome and one of Centumaros's lovers. Her jet-black hair was scattered on her shoulders, her eyes were black and shiny, and she had long velvet-like hair.  The eyelashes and pink skin seem to be filled with blood flowing inside.  At this moment, her small nose that looked like an ivory carving was tilted up angrily, looking particularly cute.

    "Humph, you're coaxing me again. You actually have the heart to abandon me and run to that desolate Germania. Are you still saying you're not cruel?" Singroya gently reached out and punched Centumaros on the chest, holding back.  He said with a sweet smile: "But you look really good in this dress"

    Singroya played with the ornaments on Centumaros¡¯ official uniform with his fingers.

    "Although it is desolate there, there are many precious ambers. I will choose the best one and bring it back to my goddess. However, no matter how beautiful the amber is, it cannot compare with the face of Singroa." Centumaros  He kissed the beautiful lips in his arms.

    "I don't want any amber. If I could choose, I would rather you stay with me than accompany those barbarians." Singroa sighed quietly.

    "Haha, my Singroa, these barbarians you mentioned are giving us such a headache that even the arrogant Caesar cannot completely conquer them." Centumaros said with a smile.

    "That's true, dear Centumaros, fortunately you don't have to fight them this time, otherwise I will worry to death!"

    "Oh, really?" Centumaros's brows jumped unnoticeably.

    "Haha, I just heard about it too. You know that I am a good friend with Marcena's wife Marcina. She secretly told me that it seems that Caesar may really conquer the barbarians this time. Maybe you get there.  By then the war was over."

    Singroa looked happy, but she didn't realize that her lover had already made huge waves in his heart.

    "You don't have to worry this time, right? Otherwise, if there is a trace of sadness on your charming face like the morning star, I'm afraid the gods won't bless me." Centumaros still smiled gently with his charming smile.  said.

    "Oh, it would be nice if you could only say these words to me. I heard that you went to Fan Liyana's villa the day before yesterday, spent an afternoon fishing with her, and also bought two beautiful female gladiators."  Roja pouted her lips again, and Centumaros hurriedly coaxed and explained, and made countless wishes to make the Roman beauty happy.

    After finally sending Singroja away, Centumaros walked back and forth anxiously for several times. A thought came to his mind more and more strongly: "Get to Germania as soon as possible, and you must not let all the credit go to you again."  Monopolized by Caesar.¡±

    He quickly made up his mind.

    The driver of Centumaros's carriage was summoned in a hurry, and he was surprised to see that his master had already changed his gear.  "Akdi, I remember you always said that you are the best racing driver in Rome, right?" Centumarus said briefly.

    "If someone can be faster than me, I can only think that he is the sun god Apollo who came to the mortal world." Akdi replied proudly.

    ? ?Okay, here's your chance to prove whether you're bragging or not.  You have to send me to Germania in the shortest time. If your speed can satisfy me, the manor outside Capua that makes you envious will be yours!  Now go hitch the horse, we will set off in a moment.  In addition, we will not rest on the road except changing horses at the post station.  "

    "However, I have to remind you, my master, even if I am as fast as the wind, I cannot blow to the Rhine River in one day. If I drive the carriage day and night, it will bring great danger to your safety."

    "When you are tired, let me drive, and we take turns to rest." After saying this, Centumaros did not give Akdi another chance to chat, and waved his hand to indicate that he could get ready.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Okay, Lord Baron, it's safe here for now." After returning to his camp, Anliugus said happily.

    He should indeed be happy. This time he not only defeated the arrogant Caesar, but also captured a large amount of loot.

    "Distribute the spoils to everyone." Wang Weiyi thought about it and said: "Those warriors who fight the bravest can get more rewards than others. Strong people will get more rewards than weak people, men will get more rewards than women, and women will get more rewards than others.  Lots of kids.¡±

    "Yes, everything is in accordance with your instructions, respected Lord Baron." Andriuges said respectfully.

    Wang Weiyi smiled! Next: "Although we have won this time, Caesar will never give up. If I guess correctly, Caesar and his Roman legions are already on the road to revenge."

    "We don't have to be afraid of them at all!" The young and arrogant Tebius shouted: "We have the bravest warriors. Every time the Romans came, we defeated them a few times."

    Wang Weiyi glanced at him and asked slowly: "Tebius, how many Romans can you kill?"

    "Thirty, or even more!" Bius said proudly.

    "What an amazing warrior." Wang Weiyi smiled again: "But there are three thousand Romans and thirty thousand soldiers. Can you kill them all by yourself?"

    Tebius was stunned.

    Wang Weiyi put away his smile: "The strength of the Romans is beyond your imagination. They have far more soldiers than we do. Caesar can lose one legion and then replenish one, but what about us? We only have so many people per loss.  One will reduce our strength by one point. We can win one victory after another, but the Romans can mobilize one legion after another. The war will drag on until the end. I think we will lose. "

    Although he felt that what the Baron said was reasonable, Tebius said unwillingly: "What should we do? Let us accept failure and then become slaves of the Romans?"

    "No, no one can make us slaves." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Although our strength is not as good as Rome, it is not impossible for us to win. But if we want to win, it is not enough to rely only on us Germanians."

    Having said this, he turned his attention to Anliugus: "Anliugus, have you contacted all the tribes I asked you to contact?"

    "Yes, Lord Baron." Anleugus quickly replied: "The Vandals, Goths, Teutons, Franks, and Cimbri are all willing to participate in the negotiations you mentioned, but Burgundy  £®Their leader will arrive with us tomorrow.

    "It doesn't matter, they will cooperate with us sooner or later." Wang Weiyi said confidently: "As long as we continue to win, I believe more and more tribes will join our ranks!"

    These are all part of the future Germanic nation, a group of brave and capable people.

    Especially the Cimbri and Teutons.

    They met the Romans in 113 BC, and the Romans were almost completely wiped out in the battle between the two nations.  The Germans took a sudden storm as a warning from their weather god and called off the campaign.

    In 109 BC, 107 BC and 105 BC, the Romans repeatedly fought against these two Germanic groups, but were defeated each time.  It was not until the two nations split that the Romans defeated the Teutons in 102 BC and the Cimbri in 101 BC.

    The breakthrough of the Cimbri and Teutons into the central mountains where the Celts lived dealt a heavy blow to the Celtic power in central and southern Germany today.  Later, other Germanic peoples, such as the Swabis, were able to settle in what is today Hesse and the Main River valley.  Under their leader Ariovistus they even broke into Gaul but were defeated there by Caesar in 58 BC and forced back east of the Rhine.

    Although they suffered a defeat, these Germans were always the most troublesome to the Romans.No matter how hard the Romans tried, these tribes could not really conquer these Germans.

    And now, something even more frightening to the Romans is happening. One man is preparing to integrate all the Germanic forces through his own efforts to become the most powerful force!

    This person is Baron Alexon!

    "Baron, do you really believe those tribes?" Tebius was still a little worried: "You know, they have been constantly fighting with us in the past."

    "Yes, we are constantly fighting each other." Wang Weiyi sighed: "When the Cimbri and Teutons united, the Romans were unable to defeat them at all. They made the powerful Roman legions suffer again and again.  But later, they split, which gave the Romans their best chance, and the Cimbri and Teutons were finally defeated. Have you ever wondered why, Tibius?"

    Tebius remained silent.

    Wang Weiyi said in a daze: "If all the tribes can be united, then we will be the most powerful force. But unfortunately, we are now trapped in internal fighting among each other. This is what the Romans would like best."  What we have seen, and what we have to do now is to integrate with the Cimbri and Teutons again to become a powerful and invincible force, humiliating the Roman legions for the first time.  s failure!"

    Tebius gradually understood.

    Yes, he can completely imagine how terrifying and powerful it will be when all the tribes become a whole?

    But the only question now is, can the Baron do all this?

    Wang Weiyi is not too worried about this. He knows that this is a world of strong people, especially the recent victory, which will definitely enhance their confidence.

    The prototype of a Germanic nation has gradually appeared before his eyes!
