Roman Slave Owner

Menmus' words made Catiline's blood surge, but he soon calmed down.

"This is impossible! How can I deal with the divine weapons of the Holy Religion? The divine weapons of the Holy Religion are too powerful."

asked Catiline.

"You don't need to worry about this. The God-given weapon is definitely not as powerful as they boast. It is just an ordinary weapon. In fact, we have also mastered the method of making this weapon."

Menmuse said.

"You can also make weapons given by gods?"

Catiline looked shocked and said, how is this possible?

This is a weapon given to the Holy Religion by the true God.

"Yes, if you want to see it, I can take you to see its manufacturing process at the appropriate opportunity."

Menmuse said with a smile.

In fact, they just stole the saltpeter that Li Wei transported to the front line for two carriages. Although they did not understand the method of making saltpeter, it was definitely enough to fool Catiline.

"This is just so...unbelievable."

Catiline said, "What about their army? They have at least 6 legions in Rome now."

"Since the Roman army suffered heavy losses during the campaign in Gaul, Livy has decided to recruit a legion of crusaders to go to Gaul, so you only need to face 5 legions. And we will help you form a group far stronger than them number of Roman legions.”

Menmuse said.

Hearing this, Catiline was really tempted.

Unexpectedly, Menmuse helped him solve all the things he was worried about.

"Of course, you can refuse and be killed by the people sent by Levi."

Menmuse said with a grim expression.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Catiline thought for a moment and said.

"This is really great. We will do our best to help you get elected next year. Then you can just wait to become a consul."

Menmuse laughed.

What Catiline didn't notice was that there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

What a fool, he might as well touch Levi's bottom for them.

The cold wind was howling, and by the Rhine River, Levi was riding a war horse and leading a group of soldiers to observe the terrain.

The Rhine River is the largest river in Western Europe. It originates from the northern foothills of the Alps in Switzerland, with a total length of 1,232 kilometers. It flows northwest through Liechtenstein, Austria, France, Germany and the Netherlands, and finally empties into the North Sea near Rotterdam. It is a world-famous river. river.

Nowadays it is also a very famous river, which separated the Gauls and the Germans.

It is precisely because of its existence that a full-scale war did not break out between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

"The speed of this section of the river in the Sibebi tribe is very fast, so it is very difficult to build a bridge on this section of the river."

said a centurion, a craftsman.

"Can it be built then?"

Levi asked.

"able.

"

The craftsman centurion gritted his teeth and said.

"how much time is required?"

"If there is no enemy interference, it can take up to 15 days."

Levi thought about it. Historically, it only took Caesar about 10 days to build this bridge. However, the place he built was not near the Sbebe people, but near the Ubi people.

That section of the river has gentle flow, making it easier to build a bridge.

"Let's do the preparations first. As for where to build the bridge, follow my instructions. Use this time to build some boats and rafts. In addition, we have built some large ships in the IJsselmeer. These ships will enter the North Sea first. Then from the North Sea into the Rhine River, you only need to go upstream to get here."

Levi said.

He hadn't decided where to cross the river yet, so he decided to conduct some on-the-spot investigation before deciding.

"Your Majesty, why are we building so many big ships? We only need small boats and rafts to cross the Rhine. Building big ships is too time-consuming and laborious."

Lysias said at this time.

Li Wei pondered for a while and then said: "Fast delivery of troops still requires large ships, and there are other reasons. What I say next is confidential, and you must keep it secret."

"As commanded."

The generals said quickly.

"The True God told me that there is a large island not far from the northwest of Gaul, where millions of barbarians live. The True God hopes that I can lead troops to conquer them and spread the glory of the True God to them."

Levi said.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Lysias said with a shocked face: "There are actually islands in the northwest of Gaul."

At this time, the Romans were full of confusion about the world. They did not understand what was at the end of the sea.

When Caesar discovered Britain, Rome even held a grand ceremony to thank the gods for it, and no longer pursued Caesar for sending troops without authorization.

"Yes, this world is very big. True God told me that in our very far west, there are two huge land masses, each of which is more than 20 times larger than Gaul. There are some ignorant people living there, True God I hope the glory of the Holy Religion can spread there.”

Levi said.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped, there was such a vast continent.

"How far is very far?"

someone asked.

"Probably more than 4,000 Roman miles."

Levi thought for a while and said.

Everyone was shocked. 4,000 Roman miles was really a terrifying distance. Could anyone go so far by boat?

"When will we be able to complete this mission?"

someone asked.

"About a hundred years from now."

Li Wei said with some uncertainty that if science and technology developed greatly, it would not even take a hundred years to discover the New World of America.

Everyone can't believe it. Will someone be able to sail more than 4,000 Roman miles in a hundred years?

"The true God told me a lot of things, but some of them I don't understand very well, including a lot of very advanced navigation knowledge. I will record some of them and teach them to you as a supplement to the Holy Scriptures Bar."

Levi said.

He had already thought of a name, which was "Hadith".

He planned to pack the knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics into it and turn the Holy Religion into a different Holy Religion.

But as a result, no one knows what the Holy Church will become.

Everyone was excitedly discussing, what is the knowledge imparted by the true god?

"Can I study?"

Lysias said.

"Of course you can, but if you are taught, you must relinquish your responsibilities as a senator. You cannot lead troops to fight, and you cannot enjoy the glory and wealth. You can only be an ascetic monk and study hard to understand the knowledge taught by the true god."

Levi said.

After hearing this, everyone's excitement immediately cooled down.

Is it necessary to become an ascetic to gain knowledge of the true God? This is really... a bit difficult to make a choice.

Looking at the hesitant Lysias, Levi smiled and said: "There is no need to make a choice so quickly. It will take me a few more years to sort out the knowledge. I will talk about it then."

Lysias nodded and said no more.

Winter is turning to spring, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and all kinds of weeds are growing vigorously again.

There are many wooden houses in a not very big stone castle. This is the location of the royal city of the Sbebe people.

A large number of Sbebe people wearing animal skins are preparing to leave here. Some of them are going out to hunt and herd, while others are going out to collect fruits. The entire stone castle is full of the style of primitive society.

Wulfa looked serious, although he had conquered many tribes, and all Germanic tribes from the Baltic Sea to the Danube River, from Thracian territory to the Rhine River, had surrendered to him.

But he didn't feel much happy. Livi in ​​the west was sharpening his sword and was actively preparing to invade the Germanic areas.

Due to the defeat of Nebo, the Germans were not so peaceful. This defeat caused a huge blow to his prestige.

Moreover, the reputation of God-given weapons spread far and wide, and many people were afraid of God-given weapons.

Although he made a lot of remedies, he managed to obtain some God-given weapons and made those Germanic leaders realize the shortcomings of God-given weapons, but how useful this was remains to be discussed.

At this moment, Chimberius rushed in.

"Brother, something bad is going on. The Romans are building a bridge across the river, and they may launch an attack at any time."

Cimberius said.

"Really, are they finally going to launch an attack? Send a message to those tribes and ask their elites to set off immediately."

Wufa said.

Now the Germanic territory is too vast. For example, the Black Forest occupies a vast area. It takes about 60 days to walk from the east to the west of the Black Forest. A large number of Germanic people are distributed in the Black Forest.

According to the research of later generations of scientists, it was precisely because of the vast black forest that the sunlight could not reach the ground directly, so the Germanic region at this time was much colder than in later generations.

Moreover, because the Germanic people were in a primitive society and had low productivity, they needed a very large hunting area to maintain their lives. It was very difficult to gather them in a short period of time.

"I know, brother."

Cimberius said.

After Qimberius left here, Wulfa left here.

He took some guards to the Rhine River. In order to prevent the Romans from sneak attacks, he deployed some patrols along the Rhine River.

The patrols saw him approaching and saluted him.

"How is the situation now?"

Wulfa asked.

"The Romans pushed a large number of small boats into the river. They organized cruises on the river and could launch a surprise attack at any time."

said a centurion.

Wufa vigorously promoted reforms and imitated Rome in many aspects, including the title of military officers.

"Where's the bridge?"

"Right over there."

Wu Fa pointed in the direction and found that a large number of craftsmen had entered the water and drove wooden piles in the water.

Densely dense cavalry and a large number of infantry also appeared on the shore. The number was enough to scare anyone.

"Shall we attack those Roman boats?"

asked the centurion.

They also built a large number of boats and rafts, ready for launching into battle at any time.

Wu Fa thought for a while and finally shook his head: "No, let them cross the river. We can attack them while they are halfway across the river, so as to maximize the damage to the enemy."

The centurion looked at Wulfa with admiration. This sounded like a good idea.

"However, we cannot relax our vigilance. We must also strengthen surveillance in other places. They may not cross the river here."

Wufa said.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

With all kinds of doubts, Wu Fa returned to his royal city.

Wu Fa was not particularly sure where Li Wei would cross the river, but with so many troops on the opposite side, there was a high possibility of crossing the river here.

So he gathered some troops on the shore to prevent a Roman surprise.

The lower reaches of the Rhine River, later known as Utrecht in the Netherlands, was once known as the Rhine River Ferry.

There was a light mist floating on the Rhine River this morning, which was good weather for a sneak attack. Livi decisively ordered the army to set out today.

After all, he did not choose to cross the river in the territory of the Sbebe people, but chose to go downstream.

Roman troops one after another had boarded the ships that had been built, and Livy also boarded one of the ships.

On the bank of the Rhine, one after another small boats and rafts were pushed into the Rhine, with Roman soldiers sitting on them one after another.

Some soldiers rowed these small boats quickly to the other side of the river. The Rhine River is like the Yangtze River and Yellow River in China. It is not difficult to cross the river.

They soon arrived on the opposite side, and the Roman soldiers quickly disembarked and formed a neat team.

They opened the sealed ammunition boxes one by one, revealing the grenades inside.

In addition to this, there are also some tiger crouching cannons.

The artillerymen quickly dug small pits, placed the squatting cannon against them, and then filled them with six or seven taels of gunpowder and lead weighing five cents.

Some carpenters jumped into the river to build simple docks so that the big ships could unload their war horses and various supplies.

After unloading everyone and cargo, the ships turned back to pick up other soldiers.

Soon a Badawian patrol discovered these Roman soldiers. They exclaimed and quickly went back to report the news.

The Badawians are a branch of the Kadi tribe among the Germanic people. They are a very brave tribe among the Germanic people. In history, they once served as bodyguards of the Roman emperor.

Because of the war, they came to the Rhine River and occupied a very narrow area of ​​​​the Rhine River.

They have a very unique custom, which is to grow their beards and hair when they reach adulthood. Only after killing an enemy, they will shave their faces in front of the enemy's bloody corpse. Only in this way can they show their bravery.

At the same time, they will wear an iron ring, which is a sign of their shame. The ring can only be taken off by killing an enemy.

Even though their hair is gray, some Badawians and Kadi people still wear iron rings and have beards. During wars, those who wear iron rings are often pushed to the front line, hoping that the war will wash them away. shame.

After the boat reached the other side, they loaded the Roman soldiers onto the boat again, and then carried them to the other side to unload them.

There were more and more Roman soldiers on the other side, and soon their number reached half a legion.

At this time, some Badawians also arrived.

Since they needed to hunt and herd for food, it was impossible to gather all the people in a short time, so there were only about 2,000 Badawians who came.

Seeing more and more Romans, the leader of the Badawians did not dare to neglect and launched an attack directly.

The Badawians had no cavalry, only infantry. They made a weird roar and rushed over.

Those who rushed to the front were all bearded people with iron rings on their hands. Since they had never killed anyone, they were placed at the front.
