Chapter 45: Military Rank

Anthony looked at me with a look of surprise, and I looked at me as if I had exceeded his expectations, and thought that we were like ignorant children, and that we just needed to be happy. But the real situation, but he was overwhelmed for the first time.

"Actually, Luga."

This is something I never expected, I didn't expect Anthony to be able to clearly call me by name before we even introduced myself, so it seems that he is not doing his homework behind him. He looked into my eyes, but it made me a little uncomfortable, and he said softly: "I don't mean anything else by doing this, Luga, and Andrew, I just think that you have been treated unfairly before, and the pressure party who has been treated is the military, and I still feel very guilty about belonging to the military, so promoting you to the commander of the ten is just a compensation." ”

With that, Andrew slapped me hard with his elbow and glared at me secretly, meaning to tell me to stop talking nonsense. This guy, besides, there is a trace of truth in what Anthony said, Captain Ten, this sesame-sized petty official said that it is useless to break the sky, so it is not unreasonable to say that it is compensation. Andrew was already in a hurry to accept the position, so I had to keep my mouth shut and wait for Anthony to say something next.

Anthony just turned around and walked over to a wooden table with two helmets on it, and he turned around and walked over to us with a smile on his face, and handed us both the helmets in his hands. This helmet can't be said to be so gorgeous, but the yellow vertical crown on the head has been removed (in private, those yellow feathers are so ugly!). It's not uncommon to look at our current helmets.

Andrew's eyes lit up, and he took it with both hands as if he had found a treasure, holding it in his palm carefully, for fear that it would fall. I don't know why, I always feel that this thing is not ordinary, take this helmet and play with it in my hand, but I am thinking in my heart what kind of medicine is sold in this Anthony's gourd?

"Alright," Anthony let out a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that we didn't have too many problems to make it a lot easier for this thing to go well. "Now that you've all accepted the compensation, there must be no complaints."

Andrew nodded like garlic, I have to say that such a compensation makes him satisfied, I will be like a fool, this is a painless position, I really can't see any other use if I can seal it, it's better to think about it as a cheap one and forget it.

Seeing that neither of us had anything else to say, Anthony shouted outside the tent, "Guards! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong guard came in at the door, gave a military salute to Anthony, and then waited for Anthony's next order.

"Arrange the two of them to the First Brigade, and stay away from the barbarians outside the camp."

The guard nodded in agreement and beckoned to both of us to follow.

After saying goodbye to Anthony, the deputy commander, we followed the guard, headed to the right of the camp gate, took off our original helmets, and put on the ugly ten-captain feather helmet instead. Since he was a small officer of the legion, most of the soldiers agreed.

"Since you are here and have been assigned to such a high official position, then the next thing must depend on your performance." The squire leading the way spoke in front, and Andrew listened carefully beside me.

"Don't worry, we will definitely work hard!"

The guard who led the way in front nodded after hearing this, "You two were promoted by His Excellency Anthony, and His Excellency Anthony is a member of the Senate, which will inadvertently improve your status in the army you are in, so the next thing is to depend on your own creation." ”

So saying, the guard led us to a huge camp on the right, where the soldiers were not as undressed as the busy ones outside, and who were in charge of miscellaneous errands, but were well-equipped, though they were not the chain mail that represented Rome in the early days of the empire.

It should be the time for morning training, and they are neatly arranged in the open space in the center of the camp, and in front of each phalanx stands a centurion wearing a half-body of chain mail, the front half of which is covered with iron plates, and a bronze helmet with red tassels, which is the centurion of each phalanx. Opposite them was a middle-aged man with a horned helmet, scaly armor, and a red cloak. The arrival of the three of us attracted the attention of the middle-aged man, who looked sideways at us.

"Sir!"

The guard stood up and gave a military salute, and the only thing he received in return was a slight nod from the middle-aged man. It must be a big official position, and Andrew and I didn't dare to slack off, so we hurriedly followed the guard and solemnly saluted the middle-aged man.

"What are those two for? I see that they are wearing the helmets of the Ten. ”

The middle-aged man looked up and motioned to the guard for me and Andrew, and the guard quickly explained: "They are the survivors of the original 7th Gemina Legion, and they are also the vanguard of the Ludinan siege. ”

"Survivors of the Gemina Legion?" The middle-aged man looked the two of us up and down, "So, yesterday's flag of the Gemina Legion was returned by them, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Hahaha......" I didn't expect the middle-aged man to laugh, he shook his head while laughing: "With such a great military exploit, it is more than enough to be a centurion or something in other brigades, why do you still come to us to be a centurion like a centurion?" ”

"Your Excellency, this is what Deputy Commander Anthony meant, His Excellency Anthony entrusted these two people to you, which is an affirmation of these two people and an affirmation of Your Excellency, I am responsible for bringing the two of them, whether to go or stay, it all depends on Your Excellency's decision!"

"Yo, is this a threat to me?"

The middle-aged man smiled and glanced at the guard, and after looking at the two of us, the smile on his face narrowed a lot, "Since it was His Excellency Anthony who personally instructed me, then if I refused, it would be considered a blatant disobedience to the order." Then my answer is yes, you can leave these two people behind. ”

The guards understood, but they also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's troublesome Your Excellency, I really don't know how I should go back if Your Excellency refuses." With that, the guard turned back to say goodbye to us and hurried away.

"So, we just settled it casually?"

Looking at the guard's distant back, my mind was full of questions, and when I turned around, I saw the middle-aged man looking at me and Andrew with a serious face.

"That's a long story short."

Oh come on, it's this set again. I sighed to myself, and then I listened to him introduce himself: "I am the chief centurion of the first brigade of the Fourteenth Twin Legion, and I don't want to say more about the specific name, so you can call me Guy." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Andrew and I replied at the same time.

The chief centurion named Guy nodded, pointed to the nearest phalanx, and said to the two of us, "This one is still lacking, so you can join it." ”
