Chapter 392 Gillicus's Oath

"Great! With the help of Gilicus, I believe our attack on Mazii will be smoother!" Carminus said happily.

Maximus smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that when we captured the East Camp of Ophidilla, Carminus, you and Gilicus worked very well together. I believe you will also work happily this time."

"Gillicus is a very capable person and easy to get along with. I believe he will provide great help for us to occupy Mazii!" Carmilus said sincerely, of course, this was also said to Toleruge.

The Military Intelligence Department is a very special department in the Ministry of War. Usually, the legion commanders and team officers rarely deal with them, and even rarely see the head of the Military Intelligence Department. He will only see him when Maximus convenes the Ministry of War to discuss military plans. In addition to introducing military intelligence, Gilicus has been sitting in the corner of the hall, looking at everyone, thinking about something...

Before, Toleruge didn't like to deal with such mysterious people, but at this moment, after listening to the conversation between the two, he became interested in Gilicus.

The legion leaders left the main house of Brochi, and Pekot pulled Aulus behind them. He whispered, "Next we are going to march to Andizeti. I have an idea."

"Tell me quickly, what good idea do you have?!"

Aulus had worked with Pekot in the Fourth Legion, and the two got along well. Especially when the Pannonian coalition attacked the Nix tribe in two directions, Aulus listened to Pekot's advice and finally defeated the coalition forces of Segestica and Desitiatae with fewer troops. Although the Fourth Legion suffered heavy casualties, it also laid a solid foundation for Nix to annex the Segestica tribe later. The newly established Fourth Legion also won the praise of Maximus and the Ministry of War with this battle, and made other legions dare not underestimate it... So when he heard that Pekot had another suggestion, Aulus immediately listened carefully.

"This time we attack Andizeti, I suggest we march in two directions." Pecot stretched out his hands and gestured in the air: "You take the Fourth Legion and the Giant's Fury, march along the Sava River, conquer Andizeti's main force, and fight all the way to the Danube River to complete the established task assigned to us by the leader.

And I will take the Fifth Legion and go straight to the southern border of Andizeti, and then conquer Andizeti's villages and stockades along the border...

By doing this, we can occupy more land in Andizeti in the shortest time. When the Skodischi tribe gathers the army and wants to attack Andizeti, the southern border of Andizeti has been controlled by us. Unless they want to officially go to war with me, Nix, they can only watch us hold the entire Andizeti territory in our hands."

Aulus was very interested, because after yesterday's battle, they all read the records of the interrogation of the prisoners, and knew that this time Andizeti and Mazii did their best to support Brochi, but after the defeat, Andizeti's army suffered the most serious losses.

Because if Andizeti's defeated soldiers want to escape back to their hometown, they must cross the Sava River. However, after the battle began, the Nix fleet blocked the entire river section near the main camp of Brochi, leaving most of Andizeti's defeated soldiers with no way to escape and had to surrender.

There were only about 5,000 to 6,000 warriors left in the Andizeti tribe. With only a legion of 6,000 heavily armed soldiers and 500 crossbowmen, Aulus was confident that he could defeat any army in the Andizeti territory. Moreover, with the help of the Giant's Fury and the Well Fence, even if Andizeti sent heavy troops to garrison the main camp, he was confident that he could capture it alone.

But he still had a little worry: "If we divide the troops, I don't have to worry about the food supply when I attack along the river, but if you lead the army deep into the Andizeti territory, how to ensure that the soldiers can get enough food supply is a problem that needs to be seriously considered. More than 6,000 soldiers consume a lot of food every day!" Pequot had already considered it: "I will let the soldiers bring enough dry bread for five days. Now that the autumn harvest has just begun, the food reserves of the Andizeti tribes should be sufficient. I will let the soldiers collect it on the spot during the march. Of course, this method can only work in a short period of time. If it lasts for a long time, it may arouse Andizeti's In order to prevent the people from resisting, and thus violate the leader's reminder to us before declaring war, we still have to rely mainly on the transportation of the baggage team. My idea is...

Build several temporary camps on the way to the southern border of Andizeti, send a small number of soldiers to garrison, store military food and supplies provided by the baggage team, and have them transport them to my main force regularly..."

Aulus was not surprised by the method proposed by Pekot. At the military meeting held by the leader before declaring war, the issue of "once the attack on Brochi is successful, how to ensure the supply of military food and supplies when continuing to attack Mazii" was discussed, and this method was finally selected.

"I think we can do this." Aulus said cautiously: "But if we divide our troops, it will undoubtedly increase the transportation of the baggage team. We must first inform Leberus and let him prepare, and then report our new plan to the leader. I believe he will agree. "

"Okay, listen to you, let's do it."

Still in the main hall of Brochi, Maximus summoned Gilicus alone.

The chief of the Military Intelligence Department usually had a gloomy look on his face, but today he looked full of energy and vitality.

"Gilikus." Maximus looked at him and praised: "Your Military Intelligence Department has been working hard to collect information about Broch in the past few years, so that we have a good understanding of Broch's situation and have made full preparations. You have made a great contribution by capturing Brochi so smoothly!

Moreover, you also let the men lurking in Broch often quietly promote the benefits of joining our Knicks tribe. I believe this will be very helpful for us to appease and recruit the people of Broch in the future. If everything goes well, this is also military intelligence. A great achievement from Si!

Next, I will ask you to personally assist Torrelugo and the others in capturing Maziyi. If you can successfully accomplish this, I will give you credit! How about it, are you confident? "

Gilkus replied very confidently: "Chief, although Maziyi has not taken in the fleeing people of Segostika like Broch did in the past few years, and has also strengthened the security of the territory, let our Military Intelligence Department It is difficult to send people to lurk in their territory to inquire about their situation.

But I was born in Maziyi and grew up in Maziyi, and the subordinates I brought are all the same. We know Maziyi very well. Today, Mazie is already a wild wolf without his claws, and is still trapped in a cage. My men and I will definitely do our best to help the two legion commanders Tolerugo and Carminus conquer smoothly. Maziyi tribe, let the Maziyi people sincerely submit to our Nix tribe! "

"Very good!" Maximus was just about to praise him a few more times when he saw Gelicus making a "plop", kneeling on the ground and kowtowing heavily.

Then he looked at Maximus and said excitedly: "Chief, when I joined the tribe, you promised me that you would avenge me and bring back my wife... Although this is what I try to do for the tribe. Motivation, but actually I don’t have much hope, because at that time the strength of our tribe was far less than that of Segestika. If I want to realize my wish, I have to fight against the powerful Pannoni Tribe Alliance!

At that time, I already had the despair of ‘I will never be able to see my wife again for the rest of my life, and I will eventually die of old age’! ...Who knew only four years had passed! Only four years! You will lead us to conquer Segestica and occupy Brochi, and we will destroy Maziyi immediately! ! Chief, you really fulfilled your promise! "

Having said this, Gelicus put his hands up, palms facing the sky, and swore in a solemn voice: "Honor the benevolent and great goddess Danu, Gelicus swears to you here sincerely! From today on, I, Gelicus, am A dog owned by Chief Maximus, always loyal to him and willing to do anything for him, even to give his own life!”

After Gillicus finished swearing, Maximus stepped forward to help him up, and said sternly: "Gilikus, you suffered disasters, but you never gave up. The Nyx tribe can be where it is today, and you are one of them." Big effort!

Those who work hard will naturally get the attention of Goddess Danu, who will give you shelter and make your wishes come true! After you welcome your wife back, I will bless you and your wife in the temple! "

"Thank you, chief!" If it weren't for Maximus' support, Gelicus almost fell to his knees again.

Rome gave Pompey great power to solve the increasingly serious problem of piracy in the Mediterranean. As a result, Pompey only needed three months to wipe out all the bandits on the sea, destroy their bases, and end decades of The maritime threat that had always tormented the Roman Republic.

This is a brilliant victory!

Both the Roman nobles and the common people were very surprised, so when Pompey led the army back to Rome, the name "Magnus" resounded throughout the city.

However, Pompey did not revel in this huge praise. While chasing down the pirates, he took time to visit the Greek Academy of Rhodes and listened to a speech by Posiderius, the most famous scholar in the entire Eastern Mediterranean. .

After listening to the speech, the two also had a private conversation. Among them, Posiderius had two sentences that impressed Pompeo deeply.

One sentence is "Always act more noble than others", so he spared the captured pirates, established a town specifically to house pirates, and named the town "Pompepolis", hoping that kindness and generosity would permanently serve him The name adds to the glory.
