Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 106 Katilin

“Yes, that’s what he said.”

Leberis said.

“Huh, who is he? He deserves to be compared with my uncle.”

At this time, a young man snorted coldly.

“Who is he?”

Saiduo asked in a cold voice.

“Pubulius Sura, the nephew of General Sura.”

Leberis said.

Saidoli snorted coldly, Sura was really cruel enough to even send out his relatives. It seems that the sincerity of the negotiation is very sufficient.

“By the way, didn’t he give a sword to the Archon of Scipio?”

Saiduo Liu asked.

“No.”

Leberis said.

Sedoriu couldn’t help thinking. Scipio was a descendant of the God of War family and was well versed in military affairs. Li Wei gave him a sword but not Scipio. What does this mean?

Is it to sow discord?

Sedoriu didn’t know how much he would achieve in the future, at least for now he thought he was inferior to Scipio.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn’t understand, he could only give up this question.

After the hostages arrived at the barracks, Scipio did not receive him immediately, but dragged on for a few days because of his busy schedule.

Leberis and the others were not in a hurry, but kept in touch with the soldiers, from time to time they invited them to eat and drink, and from time to time they would give them something, so that the soldiers would be full of affection for them.

are all soldiers, why is there such a big gap between this soldier and the soldier?

I eat sweet bread made of sugar, and I eat crude bread without any flavor.

People drank fine wine and made a lot of money, but they drank low-quality wine. Not only did they make no money, they might still be prisoners, and even lose their Roman citizenship.

In fact, their lies are easy to expose, but the book “The Crowd” tells us. When the number of people is larger, people’s IQ is lower. Repeating a lie a thousand times is the truth and this is the truth. As the news spreads more and more, people believe it.

The morale of the Roman soldiers in the barracks was even lower, and some were even aggrieved.

In fact, the high-level staff in the barracks had already discovered this situation, and they had no choice but to scold them. Because the matter has spread, no phase can stop it.

In the early morning, Katilin was dealing with official duties, and a soldier walked in.

“My lord, the hostage sent by Sura sent you a gift, saying that it was given to you by General Sura.”

“Is it just for me?”

Katilin frowned and asked.

“No, it is said that many people gave it away.”

“That’s good, let them in.”

Katilin thought for a while and said.

Not long after, some soldiers came in carrying some boxes. A centurion said with a smile: “Vice-General Katilin, this is a gift from Sura, I hope you can laugh.”

“Demetrius, is it you?”

Katilin said in surprise.

He glanced at the soldiers around him warily. Fortunately, they were all his cronies.

He told the soldiers to retreat, leaving only Demetrius.

“How did you come?”

Katilin asked.

“Let me see you? See if you are the Katilin I know? The proud noble Katilin actually worked for the civilians. When I first heard about it, I thought my ears were wrong.”

Demetrius said unceremoniously, sitting in a chair.

Katilin snorted coldly. In fact, he was only a descendant of aristocratic background, but the more descended he became, the more he valued the identity of the aristocrat. He always dismissed the civilians.

“Who gave you the courage, a slave was so presumptuous in front of a nobleman.”

Katilin patted the table fiercely and said.

“Stop this one, let me tell you the truth, this place will be over soon, if you don’t want to die, you’d better go to General Sura as soon as possible, so that you can save your life.”

Demetrius said without fear.

“Don’t talk big words here, Scipio has six legions. It is as difficult to break through here.”

Katilin said with a sneer.

“I’m not joking, Li Wei invented a powerful trebuchet that can throw 450 Roman pounds of stones to 200 Roman steps, which is terrible. Not to mention military camps, even Rome can’t stop this trebuchet. ”

Demetrius said.

“It’s impossible. Throw a 450-pound stone at 200 steps? Don’t you lie to me here.”

Katilin would not believe this kind of nonsense.

“I’m very serious! This thing is top secret, but I gave my life to tell you. If the peace talks fail, General Sura will order an attack on your barracks, and no one will be able to save you.”

Demetrius said with a serious face.

“Are you kidding?”

“No kidding!”

Cattilin was silent. Although Demetrius was a slave, he was very capable and very profitable. Pompey was in charge of his possessions.

It is precisely because Cattilin is a downright nobleman that he knows the value of money. He once proposed to buy Demiderus, but Pompey rejected him.

And he knows that Demetrius is extremely credible and he never lies. This is his signature.

Is what he said true?

“Now General Sura holds 14 legions, nearly 10,000 cavalry, invincible, and has occupied the entire central Italy, not far from Rome. Who else do you think can stop General Sura? You? Or Scipio ?Or that Saidoliu who accepted Li Wei’s sword gift?”

Speaking of this, Demetrius laughed a few times, and seemed to think that it was an insult to them to compare Sura and Pompey to Sedorius Your morale is low, and the soldiers are no longer willing to fight. Many people in Rome are thinking about peace talks, how can you stop General Sula’s forward? Or you still want to work hard for those civilians! ”

Demetrius looked contemptuously.

“enough!”

Katilin said with a cold face.

“Master Sula said, as long as you are willing to take refuge in him, all your debts will be free, and you can be appointed governor of a province. What do you think?”

Demetrius said.

Hearing this, Katilin was greatly moved.

It’s not easy to be an official. He has to borrow money to please the people. He has long been in debt, and he is almost overwhelmed by these debts.

If you can become the governor of a province, you can make a big profit.

“Which province?”

“This is not decided yet, it depends on your performance.”

Demetrius said.

“Well, I promised.”

Katilin said.

“So refreshing?”

Demetrius was surprised.

“Hmph, I won’t give my life to those civilians? I won’t die!”

Katilin said viciously.

Demetrius sighed slightly, prejudice, deep-rooted hierarchical prejudice.

Soon after those hostages arrived, they spread the news that Sura had made a terrifying sling and that the barracks could not stop the attack of this sling. Although many people do not believe it, the military spirit is still floating.

As a famous general, Cedoliu grasped this restlessness, and he knew he couldn’t go on like this. Although the Scipio peace talks policy seems to be good, the peace talks may come true at any time, which is not in his interest.
