Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 147 Hypsar

"I am willing to atone! I am willing to atone!"

Pomilka said repeatedly, "This time I brought 200 tribal warriors, all of whom are cavalry, and there are also two elephant cavalry."

"Elephant cavalry?"

Li Wei didn't expect that someone would bring these things. The elephant cavalry is a very powerful unit, which once caused great damage to the Roman army.

"Good, but it's not enough."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"not enough?"

Pomirka was taken aback, then became anxious.

Li Wei's order was too poisonous. Ever since he knew the decree he announced, he couldn't sleep well. He always felt that others were coveting his wealth and status.

After getting advice from an expert, he decided to take refuge in Li Wei temporarily.

"Your Horde soldiers have done us a great deal of damage, and many have died at their hands."

Li Wei said with a sad face, "Many of these are my followers, and I need to pay a lot of pensions for them."

Pomirka couldn't help opening her mouth wide, as if swallowing a duck egg.

How did he hear that the Romans had lost very little?

And his tribal soldiers are only a small part, how could he cause huge damage to Roman soldiers?

Seeing Li Wei's extremely sincere eyes, Polka finally swallowed his rebuttal.

He had a premonition that once he said those words, his end would be very bad.

"Is 50,000 dinars enough?"

Pomilka muttered quietly.

"Do you know who is sitting in front of you? A Roman general, you are insulting a Roman general,"

Li Wei slapped the table hard and said,

"Two hundred thousand! Two hundred thousand! What do you think of 200,000?"

Pomilka hastily changed his words.

"That's how it is, but remember, I've covered part of the cost for you,"

Li Wei said that he knew not to hit too hard, otherwise these tribal chiefs might defect to the other side,

The corners of Polka's mouth twitched. He didn't look like Li Wei had suffered a huge loss.

"You should be thankful that these days, many people have taken their master's head to come here, and they will inherit half of their master's property."

Levi said.

Hearing this, Pomirka was in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he came early, otherwise his head might be secretly taken off at some point.

He even forgot the unhappiness of being blackmailed by Li Wei, but thanked Li Wei a thousand times.

Li Wei nodded in satisfaction, is that right?

He arranged quarters for Pomirka's soldiers, and then sent some officers to command his army.

This is a Roman practice, and the Allied Wings are also commanded by Roman officers,

Five days later, Li Wei set off again with his army, left the province of Africa, and marched towards the Kingdom of Numidia.

Only this time the army was bigger,

A large number of Numidian tribes sent cavalry and infantry to join his army.

Li Wei did not refuse anyone who came, and accepted them all.

His cavalry has grown from 4,500 to 6,000, in addition to 10 war elephants.

The Kingdom of Numidia is located in the south of the province of Africa, which is now Tunisia and northern Algeria. The race is mainly Berber, which is a branch of black people.

Along the way, the army was like a storm. Most of the tribes and cities along the way chose to surrender, but there were also some who resisted.

A small city was full of flames. Numidia had just entered the agricultural society and still retained the semi-nomadic tradition.

There are no strong cities at all. It is not easy for Li Wei to fight these small towns.

"Quick, everyone line up."

A Roman soldier whipped the inhabitants. Under the threat of the whip, the residents lined up one after another.

According to Roman tradition, all rebellious city wealth went to the Roman army, and the inhabitants were sold into slavery.

When Lucullus made an expedition to Pontus, some Roman soldiers even refused to surrender the city, for the sake of the wealth of the entire city, for which they were reprimanded by Lucullus.

These residents that Pomirka selected with a smile are healthy slaves who can become not only farmers but also warriors.

As long as you get back your own tribe, your own tribe will become stronger.

But soon his smile disappeared, and beside him, many tribal chiefs were also picking these slaves.

Obviously, he is not the only one who is smart. This war is undoubtedly an opportunity for a major reshuffle of domestic forces, and everyone is doing their best to gain benefits for themselves.

"The auction is starting now, with a group of 100 people, if you want to make an offer quickly."

said a centurion.

The tribal chiefs started making offers, and even some Phoenicians joined in.

"300 dinars."

"400 dinars."

"450 dinars."

"..."

"Someone released 450, is there a higher one?"

Seeing that no one made an offer, the centurion desperately tried to stir up the emotions on the scene.

But still no one offered an offer. After all, there were too many such slaves. A small town like this could casually find thousands of them. And I don't know how many towns and small towns Li Wei has breached these days.

Seeing that no one raised the price, the centurion had no choice but to drop the hammer.

Li Wei watched all this with a smile. Although there were only tens of thousands of dinars in the account, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.

Moreover, the real estate and land in this small city can also be sold at a high price.

Li Wei made a lot of money along the way. Although most of it was distributed to the soldiers, his title of black-hearted businessman still spread like wildfire, and he became a title that almost everyone in Numidia knew.

"General, Hepsar, member of the royal family of the Numidian king, seeks an audience."

When traveling to a small town to rest, a personal guard walked in and said.

"Oh, here comes a serious one at last. Let him in."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Not long after. One is tall. A young black man who looked extremely strong walked in.

"Great General Levy. It's great to see you."

The black man said enthusiastically as soon as he came in.

"You are?"

Li Wei said indifferently.

"Hypsar, nephew of Iabbas, king of Numidia."

The black man said respectfully.

"What do you want me to do?"

Levi said.

"Certainly came to help the great Roman army."

Hepsar said righteously.

Li Wei almost laughed out loud, Nima really knows how to act, and he did this in front of him.

Hypsar saw Li Wei's disdain, and quickly said: "If possible, I hope to get the throne of Numidia."

"This throne is reserved for the man who will give Rome the most help."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"I am not only the most loyal friend of the Romans, but I can also provide you with the greatest help."

Hypsar said, "I have brought not only 2,000 cavalry, but also news of Iabas. He has assembled 50,000 infantry, 15,000 cavalry and 100 war elephants. Ready to join you Battle to the death."
