"What are you doing?"
Zhang Tuohai asked coldly.
"I discovered this wallet first."
The soldier under his command said loudly.
"Nonsense, it was obviously me who killed him! The throwing spear stuck in his body also belongs to me." The soldier on the opposite side was not to be outdone.
"The throwing spear on my body belongs to you, so I'll give you the throwing spear."
Zhang Tuohai sneered, pulled out the spear from the corpse, and stabbed the soldier.
The soldier hurriedly backed away and let go of the money bag.
The thrown spear was inserted into the soldier's feet, making a buzzing sound.
After doing all this, Zhang Tuohai said to the stupid subordinate beside him: "What are you still doing? Put the loot away and deal with this kind of thing yourself next time. You can't even protect your own loot. Go out and leave."
He is said to be my subordinate, and I cannot afford to lose this person."
"Yes, sir!"
The subordinate's face turned red and he said excitedly.
For Zhang Tuohai, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong in this matter. What matters is whether he can safeguard the interests of his men.
As the leader, your duty is to let your subordinates live a good life.
You must get the trophies you deserve. If you can get extra trophies, you will be especially popular.
If you can't even protect the interests of your subordinates, why should others mess with you?
From now on, how will he continue to be a centurion and how will he make his men work hard?
Therefore, Zhang Tuohai has no choice in this matter.
Seeing the throwing spear swinging in front of him, the soldier didn't dare to say anything. He picked up the throwing spear and moved to another place.
He is just an ordinary soldier, and it is too much to argue with a centurion like Zhang Tuohai.
The other phalanx soldiers who saw this situation also took a few steps back and distanced themselves from Zhang Tuohai's men.
This concession allowed each of Zhang Tuohai's men to loot one or two more corpses, and their income increased out of thin air.
The soldiers under Zhang Tuohai supported Zhang Tuohai even more.
As for the other centurions, they just glanced at them and didn't bother to pay attention.
They are members of the aristocratic class, claiming to be the upper class elites, and they don't think much of the idiots below.
In their eyes, these soldiers are just tools for their upward climb.
Except for the need to reward before a big battle, there is no need to pay attention to it at ordinary times.
Against the background of other centurions, Zhang Tuohai became even more wise and powerful, and became more and more loved.
Just as everyone was cleaning the battlefield, a cavalry galloped from a distance. He almost fell off his horse and delivered a military order to the legion commander.
The legion commander glanced at the military order and frowned.
"Call everyone over for a meeting."
After a while, a group of centurions and thousands of captains gathered in the camp of the legion commander.
"Now, there is an important task, which is to select a group of elite soldiers to escort a group of important people back to Rome. Which of you is willing to follow? You can take the initiative to sign up."
The game prompt pops up.
【Task Branch】
[Main mission two: Escort the consul’s daughter Sophia back to Rome.]
[Main mission two: Resist the attack of the main barbarian force.]
Looking at the two tasks, Zhang Tuohai understood that now is the time to make a choice.
According to the two tasks, completely different task directions will appear.
Zhang Tuohai thought for a while and felt that the first task was better.
After all, Rome is also the ruling center of the empire, and the escort is the daughter of the consul, which may be of some benefit.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguoyuedu! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read aloud and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. yeguoyuedu ]
The second task is obviously very risky.
That is the main force of the barbarians.
Although there is a legion stationed here, who knows how many barbarians are coming.
Although Roman soldiers were brave, they were also ordinary people and not invincible.
If you are surrounded by a barbarian army, it will be very difficult to escape.
As for the escort mission, no matter how you look at it, there is only one target.
If it really doesn't work, Zhang Tuohai can abandon the large army and leave directly with Sophia. It is still easy to escape with his life.
From a purely retreat perspective, escorting is easier.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai immediately raised his hand.
"I am willing to participate in the escort mission!"
The surrounding centurions looked at Zhang Tuohai as if he were a fool.
They are all here to do military service and make money.
It is obviously more convenient to stay in the frontline camp.
Moreover, just after defeating the barbarians, it was time to rest and recuperate, and he actually had to participate in an escort mission.
When we come back, I'm afraid all the barbarians will be wiped out, and the gains outweigh the losses.
However, no one spoke out to stop it.
Anyway, someone has to take the responsibility, and since Zhang Tuohai is willing to take on such a thankless job, they will naturally be happy to have some leisure time.
The legion commander is also very satisfied.
He is unwilling to do this kind of work of interfering with people. If it weren't for Sophia's extraordinary status, he wouldn't bother to take care of her.
Now, since someone is willing to help him share his worries, he is naturally happy.
"You go to the logistics camp immediately to get double supplies and set off immediately without delaying your trip."
The legion commander couldn't wait to drive Zhang Tuohai away, for fear that he would regret it.
With the receipt in hand, Zhang Tuohai and his men came to the logistics camp.
Although many of his subordinates did not like to leave the front line, Zhang Tuohai was the chief officer after all, and the military orders were overwhelming, so they had to start packing and preparing to leave.
I feel happier when I keep seeing their supplies.
Zhang Tuohai also saw Sophia who was about to be escorted.
A young woman with a proud look, wearing a gorgeous long dress.
Wherever I go, I have two maids with me.
The fleet is also very large.
There are six carriages in total, each with two horses.
In addition to the one that Sophia was riding in, there were five flatbed trucks. In addition to basic supplies, there was also one truck filled with huge boxes.
Several guards stood around the carriage to prevent anyone from approaching.
Judging from the depth of the ruts, the things on that carriage must be very heavy, and both horses are struggling.
"What's in the box?"
Zhang Tuohai drew a question mark in his heart.
He was sure that the contents of this car were extraordinary.
But the opponent's defense was very deep, and even Zhang Tuohai was not allowed to get close.
Zhang Tuohai took a deep look at the carriage and began to pay attention.
"Miss Sophia ordered, the whole team set off!"
A maid got out of the carriage and said.
He looks like giving orders.
"Are you very high-minded?"
Zhang Tuohai snorted coldly, but suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and ordered his men to set off as a team.
One hundred Roman soldiers stood up and walked in formation outside the camp.
The soldiers around looked at these people with sympathy.
Think they have lost a valuable opportunity to make money.
Zhang Tuohai also cast the same gaze on these soldiers.
"We are about to face the main attack of the barbarians. I hope you can survive by then."
Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai urged his horse and walked forward.
