Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The injury on Alexander's feet was already good. Although the painful itch during frostbite and healing made him sleep well late at night, it was at least much better than it was at the beginning.

Alexandria was supposed to set off immediately the day after the attack, but the two messengers he sent back to send messengers to him were Caesar and Uliu ’s letters, which forced him to stay in the village temporarily. in.

In the letter, Caesar mentioned some recent events in Rome. Although the pope's beloved son was filled with strong self-confidence in the line, Alexander still can see that the days of Rome seem not very good.

This speculation was also confirmed in the letter Uliu sent to him. At least Uliu told him that the Romans are now in a hurry to warm up and eat a bite of fresh vegetables.

"Some vendors have started to raise the prices of fresh vegetables very high, because they lack a lot of things on the market, so they can set their own prices at will. In addition to vegetables, eggs and some are not particularly needed, but now they are becoming popular because they are scarce. Goods, such as wood, no one would have prepared too much wood at home, but now people have to look for something that can burn and heat in order to survive the long winter, some people have begun to go to some remote places in the city. Felled trees, or felled farther away from the city, but because the road was not easy to walk, in addition to some accidents, "Uliu ’s letter reads," There are also animals that can be eaten by people, because there is no candle making Animal fats and oils, the banquets of many aristocratic families had to stop, the Roman lights at night became less, and the robbery increased, people began to become uneasy, and even late at night they did not dare to go out casually. It is said that in order to show kindness, the pope Several children of His Majesty have taken the lead in announcing the temporary suspension of luxurious activities, Miss Lucrezia I also donated a group of her palaces that usually do n’t use anything to help the poor, but this does n’t seem to be of much use. Rome is too big, and there are too many people in Rome. The only thing everyone wants now is to get through as soon as possible. Rome's connection with the outside world ... "

Uliu ’s letter was much more frank than Caesar ’s, and the unabashed description in the letter gave Alexander a quick understanding of what happened in Rome, and also made him clear that Caesar was eager to restore Rome ’s contact with the outside world. thought.

Although food is a much-needed thing in Rome, it is not a top priority after all. It really makes Caesar worry about the heating problem that needs to be solved as the winter gets colder.

Obviously, although a large amount of wood is still used for heating or lighting, the coal mines in the Sanroni Peak area are now very important for Caesar, or Caesar is worried that if for a long time, Rome loses these due to reasonable problems Some local connections may have something that caught him off guard.

Compared with Caesar, Alexander is actually more aware of the troubles that a city might bring because of the constant traffic. He can imagine that when the Romans soon discovered that as their cities and nearby trees became fewer and fewer, they relied on them. Heated wood becomes more and more difficult to obtain the kind of uneasiness, and then with this uneasy, it may be all kinds of bad things.

"We are going to repair the bridge here as soon as possible," this was Alexander's decision after reading the letter. "At least we can't leave until this thing is done."

According to Alexander's order, Carlo immediately took a few people to recruit workers in some nearby places. He didn't just ran a trip to Tempura, but went to some places farther away to find workers, and soon a small village by the river It became lively.

For those who came suddenly, the people in the village began to be vigilant. Although some people knew them, they were very careful because they didn't know they came to the village.

But soon they heard that these people were called to build bridges, which made the villagers curious and excited.

Because this not only means that you can get in touch with Rome soon, but more importantly, these people need to live in the village during the bridge repair period, which at least allows the villagers to make extra money in the winter.

The panic caused by the execution of the village chief has not disappeared, not only the Bohemians, but even the Agri people are cruel and terrifying in their eyes, which at least makes the Agri people feel very proud.

It was just that the village was too small for Alexander ’s army to be able to live completely, which forced him to order the army to camp in the sheltered woods except for a part of them who lived in the village.

And the large number of workers who suddenly appeared in the next two days filled the village all at once. Although Tam Pula was nearest to here, it was impossible for them to live there.

"Let the workers build temporary camps in the woods first. They need a place to live," Alexander decided, and he ordered to increase his vigilance. "We have to beware of the enemy's attack. This cannot be the end. . "

Alexander did not know that the enemy had actually mixed in with the workers who repaired the bridge. In addition to being the first batch of workers who came here, the short man was soon due to his "enthusiasm". A very shrewd guy also followed.

These people were dispatched to the woods with the real workers, and they picked up local materials and hurriedly built a few temporary houses to live.

Not far from them, Alexander ’s army was also stationed in this wood.

The loss of a battle is not small, but it has made the Agrig and the Bohemians more intimate.

Before, the Bohemians looked down on the Agrigan legs who had just put down their farming tools and picked up their weapons. Although they were not too sorry for the Agris because of Nashan, they were always in front of these farmers. It is high-spirited, and even appears in a predominantly posture.

And the Aggris are obviously not quite as bohemian as they are in the eyes of the barbarians.

Although this contradiction is not obvious, but it will have some influence in the battle. For example, the battle on the Bracciano River. The Bohemians only showed their perfect charge and arrogance against the enemy ’s rapid attack, so that they did not Being able to form a good cooperation with the Agris, even though they successfully attacked the enemy's back, they still allowed most of the enemy to escape calmly, which also led to the enemy's subsequent rapid organization of the second attack.

The cost of blood has taught the Bohemians and Aggris fiercely, making them pay for the pride and frenzy when they first entered Rome, but the cruel experience of fighting side by side also changed their relationship a lot. .

Alexandria certainly wants to see such a result.

Compared with others, the Agri as his original territory had a different general meaning to Alexandria, and with several battles he had also discovered that although he could not compete with those mercenaries or troops with years of experience Compared to, but perhaps because of living in poverty, compared with the rich northerners, the southern Italians represented by the Agri are more able to endure hardship and are willing to obey orders, which makes Alexander not secretly decide, if he can, his future The army should be dominated by South Italians, at least temporarily.

"Also Carlo, I need you to recommend me some soldiers that you think are reliable," Alexander said so. "The number of people is not necessary, a dozen are enough. I need them not only to be skilled at using muskets but also good at melee, these People will be my personal guards, so be loyal and reliable. "

"If so, I recommend my own grown-up." After hearing Alexander's request, Carlo immediately answered.

"I just need some guards who can protect me in times of danger, but if you are allowed to do this, it will be a waste," Alexander smiled gently. "You still command all the Agris, and when you return to Rome, you also I continue to study by Nashan. I need you to be an excellent cavalry officer, not a guard. I know I have great hope for you. "

In the end, Carlo recommended an Agri named Paul Busako to Alexander.

According to Carlo, this Paul Busaco is an "authentic Agri" and a very experienced hunter, which means that this person not only has an extraordinary ability, but should also be good at Use firearms.

In fact, Alexander was somewhat hesitant when a man seemed to be standing in front of him with a file as if all the corners and corners were on his body.

This person's limbs also seem to have been filed, and it looks hard and completely different from Carlo, and what really makes Alexander doubt is that he has little impression of this person.

He was somewhat impressed by all the people who followed him out of Agry, and besides his special appearance, Alexander doubted that he had anything else to impress.

"Paul's family used to be Agry's best, but he hasn't been a hunter since his father's generation," Carlo explained to Paul Busako. "This is because his father once hunted. One hand was bitten off by the beast, but Paul learned all the skills of their family, you can trust him. "

Alexander nodded slightly, of course he would not trust the person named Paul Busako completely because of Carlo ’s words, but looking at his strong arms and the finger joints that grew a layer of hard cocoons because of the bow drawn all year round, Alexander Still decided to use this person.

Paul Busako was a man of few words, and after being appointed by Alexander, he immediately set out to choose among the Agris.

And this is also the most important thing, must be an Agri!

Although it is very important to have skillful use of weapons, or to be able to reload muskets quickly, so that there are more shots than others, it is indispensable, but the premise of all these must be followed first must be the Aggri.

Paul Busaco was so asked, and he did.

As Alexander said, he needs a team of guards who can protect him. For these guards, loyalty is the most important condition.

The Agri people undoubtedly have more of these qualities.

"I want to know how you will protect me."

Looking at Paul Busako, who was looking at the dozen Agris in the distance, Alexander asked.

The new captain thought for a while and said, "If I'm far away, I can shoot, if I'm near, my swordsmanship is not bad, and I can assure you that if they want to hurt you, they must first step on my body. . "

Alexander looked at the captain in front of him. He did n’t believe what the person said, but he still shook his head: "You are wrong, your duty is not to kill me, but to ensure that I can live, so you have to consider Should protect me. "

Paul Busak looked at Alexander with a daze, then nodded without a word.

While Alexander was thinking about his personal safety, a group of workers stood busy on the side of the wreckage of the wooden bridge by the river.

Although the weather was very cold, the workers immediately became active when they heard that they could get more compensation if they repaired the bridge as soon as possible.

If you can get an extra florin one day earlier, this promise makes many people rush to work on the torch even in the dark, and the wooden bridge was supposed to be repaired in a week, but Alexander hoped Can be used within three days.

"Then find more manpower," a township carpenter who was temporarily assigned as a supervisor said helplessly to Alexander. "Now this person can't be completed, at least dozens of people are needed, but now we don't have so many people. Ah, unless you go farther to recruit people. "

"Farther away?"

Alexander frowned slightly. In this weather, it is difficult to get some men from remote villages and towns to go out to work ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And it is not so easy to recruit dozens of people at once.

"Maybe someone can do something," Carlo suddenly remembered the short man he had seen before, that person was the first person willing to repair the bridge, and more importantly, Carlo remembered that he had some companions. "There is a The homeless man recruited said that he still has some friends, maybe those people can help. "

"Then let that person go to his people to help," Alexander said anxiously. "We can't be delayed here. Once we have arranged, we will leave here tomorrow to go to Sanroni's coal mine."

When he heard Carlo asked him to find more people, a strange smile quickly flashed on the short man's face, but soon he turned down and agreed, even trying to discuss with Cairo first. Give a Florin and let his homeless friends who are hungry have a full meal first, because then they can rush over as soon as they are obedient.

Carlo generously gave the short 2 Florin, and at the same time ordered him to bring everyone over as soon as possible.

After full agreement, he looked at Carlo who turned and left, and glanced at a few angry locals looking at the scene. The short man threw the short shovel in his hand and smiled and went on the road.
