Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the meeting, the coalition army composed of more than 80,000 barbarians continued to advance with the wounded and approached the outside of Nice.

    Unlike Massilia, an ancient city with a history of more than 500 years, Nice, which was only founded 350 years ago, is still considered a "young" city even though it has a history of more than 300 years.

    The earliest inhabitants of this city were the Ligurians.  Later, the Gauls invaded and settled here, completing the process of "national fusion" and forming the Gallo-Ligurian culture in this area - the so-called Liguria region.  About two hundred years ago, the Romans conquered this area and turned it into a province of the Republic.  The city of Nice has also become one of the most important trading ports.

    What matches the "main trading port" is the city wall of Nice, which is about six meters high. This tall city wall draws a round arc and protects the entire urban area and harbor of Nice.  in.

    And outside the city wall, there are dotted Roman estates.

    At this time, the Liguria region was already quite mature. Private farms had been built on most of the fertile land near water sources and flat land. Under the protection of walls, cheap slaves were working under the supervision of overseers and bodyguards.  Under the supervision, they work hard on the land of the manor owner, tending the vines, olive trees and other crops, creating wealth for the manor owner.

    Because they received the news that Vannius was leading an army, the Romans fled into the city of Nice in advance and hid behind the strong and thick city walls.  The more powerful Romans even boarded ships and left the city of Nice.  Go to a safer area.

    However, out of reluctance to part with their wealth and lack of time, the Romans did not remove the slaves and guards from the manor - you know, those precious grapes, olive trees, fig trees, etc. were also  Money.

    In addition, the Roman manor owners rarely armed some of their slaves and prepared with the guards to defend their masters' property.

    Then, Vanius came to "plunder" them as expected.

    Leading the soldiers to form a neat queue, the centurion leading the team shouted at the top of his lungs: "People inside, listen. You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons immediately and surrender. We guarantee your safety!"  "

    As soon as these words came out of my mouth.  Vanius then slapped himself on the forehead - the guy responsible for shouting spoke in Germanic

    However, what surprised Vannius was that soon, the sounds of fighting came from the opposite side, as well as the Germanic language with a weird accent: "Compatriots, come in!"

    Such shouts stunned the Germans present.

    But in the next moment, Vanius realized that there were German slaves in the manor, and they were already fighting for freedom.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? Immediately afterwards.  Vanius nodded, and the loud horn sounded.

    Because they only wanted to attack a farm, the Germans did not make so many complicated preparations. They only made simple siege equipment - strong and heavy-armed elite axes under the cover of assault infantry holding large wooden shields high.  The soldiers carried the thick logs with ropes and rushed straight to the gate of the manor shouting slogans.

    Standing under the gate, the heavily armored elite axemen shouted slogans and pulled up the logs, and then tried their best to hit the gate.

    With the violent impact, the thick and solid door jumped suddenly - the soldiers who were close could hear the groan of the wooden support pillars behind the door.

    Immediately afterwards, came the second and third blows.

    at the same time.  The assault infantrymen holding shields had also put up long ladders on the manor's protective wall - unlike the solid city protective wall, the manor's protective wall was only three meters long.

    Because the enemies on the city wall had already been in civil strife, the assault infantry did not encounter much hindrance when they climbed to the top of the city.

    After that, those slaves who were not very determined to resist were dispersed from the city.

    Immediately afterwards, the door was also opened.  Thousands of Germanic warriors rushed into the manor.

    After that, the Germans, who had eliminated all resistance, brought two men, one fat and one thin, to Vannius.

    The fat man among them had a fat head and a full face.  You can tell at a glance that it's not a good thing.  The thin one was lean and muscular, and his body was covered in blood, so it was obvious that he had just participated in a battle.

    "This is our king, Vanius." After bringing the two men to Vanius, the heavily armed elite axeman said simply, and then turned to Vanius: "This damn fat man is the manor  The supervisor, Aeneas. And this one is Pluto - he was the one who just led everyone to resist??, who helped us seize the manor.  "

    Hearing this, Vanius immediately became interested in Pluto - the man was not tall, but had loose blond hair - Pluto was obviously a Roman name, and the man's height also fit the bill.  Roman ancestry, but blond hair color is not Latin: "Romans? Germanic people?"

    When asked this question, Pluto obviously hesitated for a moment, then shrugged: "Is it important?"

    "His mother is Germanic, but his father" said the Roman named Aeneas with a flattering smile on his face, "Maybe he is a Roman nobleman."

    After hearing this, Vanius understood - whether it was the Teutonic, Cimbri and Ambuang people, or the later King Ariovistus, after being defeated by the Romans, there were many  The Germans were captured and enslaved - it is not particularly surprising that the Germans as slaves had relations with their Roman masters and had offspring.

    "So, do you have any ideas next?" No longer pursuing Pluto's life experience, Vanius directly asked another question.

    "What are you going to do with us?"

    "How many Germans are there here?" After a pause, Vanius added, "As long as one parent is German, it doesn't matter."

    "Not many, about eighty."

    "How many people are there in total?"

    "Five hundred and seventy-two people, Your Majesty the King." Seeing that Vanius' main attention was focused on Pluto, Aeneas quickly replied with a flattering smile.

    Vanius nodded and showed an approving smile to Aeneas: "You are good, I have a task for you - follow us, I will give some people to you after a while - you have to be responsible for helping us  , take all these people back to Germany. Of course, I will send troops to escort you."

    Hearing this, Aeneas was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Hey, hey, don't worry."

    "If your performance satisfies us, I can consider giving you a large manor in Gaul, even bigger than this." He made an empty promise irresponsibly, and before Aeneas could thank him for his generosity, Vanniu  Si's expression suddenly became stern: "But if you want to play any tricks, I will make you regret coming to this world."

    Before Aeneas could feel lucky that he had escaped death and gained trust, Vannius' words knocked him down to hell.

    Making a timid gesture and wiping the sweat from his forehead, the fat man smiled and nodded.

    However, Vanius had lost interest in him and just waved his hand to signal for people to take him away.

    When only Pluto was left, Vanius laughed: "Okay, let's talk about your problem next."

    The mixed-race man straightened his body and looked at Vanius without replying.

    "First of all, you are free."

    "Yeah" It was obvious that the mixed-race man didn't believe this.

    Vanius nodded: "You have several options. First, you can choose to take some things you want and leave - just pretend that we have never met - of course, whether you die or not in the future  Life has nothing to do with me anymore.¡±

    This statement made Pluto smile sarcastically: "I guess I must have a much better choice, right?"

    Therefore, although he is a slave, the other party is a smart man: "Of course. You also know that although you may have successfully escaped from this area as a fugitive slave when I was fighting with the Romans, to a place where you don't have to worry about being caught by the Romans.  You live locally, but if you get caught by the Romans, you¡¯re doomed.¡±

    "So I'd better fight with your army against the Romans?" Pluto asked without hesitation.

    However, this seemingly smart question made Vanius shake his head: "He is just a warrior who has no idea of ??his strength. He is not worth the time of the king of the Germanic tribes."

    This rebuttal stunned Pluto, who was confident in himself, and then Pluto snorted dissatisfied: "You have to know, I could have become a gladiator."

    Vanius shook his head: "You are free, where are the others?"

    This sentence stunned Pluto.

    "There are more than five hundred slaves in this manor. How many manors are there outside Nice? How many manors are there in the whole of Italy? How many slaves are there in these manors? You are free, where are the others?" Vanius asked.  Looking at Pluto expressionlessly, he asked softly.

    "But" After hearing what Vanius said, Pluto looked at Vanius with a puzzled look.

    ? ???I have come to fight the Romans.  "Said, Vanius smiled, "What I want to do is to defeat the Roman army on the battlefield - but I can't lead my army to attack manors one after another and rescue all the slaves - I have to.  Someone is here to do this, you know?  "

    This time, Pluto finally understood the meaning of Vanius¡¯ words. He straightened his body and his face shone with excitement: ¡°Give me the weapon and I will do this.¡±

    Vanius nodded: "After the city of Nice is captured, I will leave 20,000 people to garrison here. They will provide training and arms for you and your people - but you must remember not to fight with Rome.  Legions of men engage in head-on combat¡ªat least, don¡¯t do that until you have an army of more than ten thousand people.¡± (To be continued.)
