Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 146: Protector of Utica City

   Amidst the rattling sound, the door slowly opened, and soldiers not far from the door quickly rushed in.

   "It's finished."

   Li Wei said excitedly.

   As long as he attacked the camp, he didn't believe that Dumichius could stop them.

   A steady stream of soldiers entered the barracks through the stairs, through the gate, and then killed with the enemy.

   The enemy was so confused by all this, how did the enemy come in?

   And Li Wei used the Guards and the First Corps as arrows to quickly defeat the first wave of enemy soldiers.

   When Dumidius, who was located in the middle of the camp, reacted, the camp had become a mess, and soldiers were rushing and crying everywhere.

"What happened?"

  Dumigius folded a soldier and asked.

   "General, the enemy has entered."

   The soldier said in horror.

"what?"

  Domizius couldn't help being taken aback, but he quickly reacted.

   "Quickly let people organize a counterattack."

  Du Miqius said, he is by no means a person who concedes defeat easily.

   And he knows he can't lose, once he loses, it's all over.

   But he still underestimated Li Wei's Guards and First Corps, and the enemy forces against them were often collapsed.

   Facing the mighty steel sword, the morale of the soldiers who had already been low quickly collapsed.

   It didn't take long for Dumijus to organize a decent counterattack anymore.

   He could only look at all this desperately, then turned around and fled.

   After a long fight, Li Wei's soldiers finally occupied the barracks.

   The whole camp is full of joy. A victory in this battle means that the most powerful enemy has failed.

  Numidia is a powerful country, but compared with their Rome, is it still defeated by repeated battles?

   The result of this battle was spread out as quickly as possible, and it caused a huge response.

   A large number of local residents came to the labor force and sent a large amount of food and supplies, and even some people were willing to provide soldiers to fight with the Roman army.

   Accepted all the former Li Wei, but paid money.

  Africa is the province of Rome. The province is obliged to pay taxes to Rome, which includes materials and money.

   Unless it comes to extremely dangerous situations, Rome generally does not allow the residents of the province to provide additional supplies of various materials.

   Li Wei refused to provide soldiers. Only the Allies could provide soldiers to Rome. The province did not have the obligation to provide troops for combat, and Li Wei had no plans of bad rules.

   After Li Wei refused his request to provide soldiers, a chubby middle-aged man showed an ugly smile.

   "Since the general doesn't want it, forget it, I have one more thing to ask, I don't know what the general wants to do with the prisoners."

   This middle-aged man is a veteran of Utica City. On this day, he organized a large number of manpower to come to the army and provided Li Wei with a large amount of supplies and soldiers.

  Although Li Wei had sufficient supplies, he knew that the more these things, the better. It would cost too much money to ship them from Rome, and it was not as good as buying them locally, so he accepted the supplies, but rejected the soldiers.

   "Are you here for the captured Phoenician soldiers?"

   Li Wei frowned and said.

   After winning a few days ago, they captured many prisoners, including Romans, local Phoenicians, and even some Numidians.

"Yes, they are just blinded by Dumidius. You know, he is also a Roman, and we can't refuse the Romans' orders. I hope that you can forgive their mistakes as merciful as you, and we are willing to pay any price for this. "

   said the veteran.

   "They committed serious crimes. My plan is to demote them into slaves and send them to the mines of Lucania to work until they die. How about, am I very kind."

   Li Wei said with a smile.

   This veteran almost cried. Can you stop playing with me?

   It is mortal to send it to mining. The labor intensity there is so violent that it will kill at least 95% after a few years.

   "I wonder if I can redeem them?"

   the fat man asked.

   "There is no problem. One person asks for 1,000 dinars. In order to redeem, you must redeem all of you, not just some people."

   Li Wei said.

   The corners of the fat man’s mouth twitched straight. He had long heard that Li Wei was famously ruthless and cruel, and it is true now.

   He remembered that the ransom of a Roman soldier during Hannibal's time seemed to be around 500 dinars. Now it has risen to 1,000. This inflation is really too severe.

   "General, can you be less."

   The fat man said with a smiley face.

   Li Weiang looked at the sky first, and almost wrote on his face that bargaining is not allowed.

"no problem."

   The fat man gritted his teeth and said, his heart was dripping with blood.

   It's over, it seems that Africa has been having a stressful life.

   It seems that they are really rich, do they want less, Li Wei thought.

   He intends to distribute part of the money to his soldiers. The Roman generals who cannot make money for the soldiers are not good Roman generals. He doesn't want to end up with Luculus.

   "One more thing, I wonder if the general is interested in being the protector of Utica City?"

   At this time the fat man said.

   Hearing this, Li Wei's eyes brightened.

   "If you are interested, of course you are interested. If you say that earlier...everyone will be a family in the future."

   Li Wei said with a big smile.

   It is actually very good to be the protector of a city. That city will provide him with all kinds of support.

  Some long-standing families will be in their own protected nation or even country. For example, the Scipio family was once the protector of Numidia.

  Looking at the extremely enthusiastic Li Wei, the fat man gave a wry smile. He is really a mother with milk.

   But with Li Wei as the protector, Utica City is really safe.

   At least now that Li Wei is in Rome, there is no problem with a city of Utica in the reserve.

   The two sides discussed some details ~ www.novelmt.com ~ Fatty will submit this resolution to the Utica Senate for approval, and then it will be completed after Li Wei signs it.

   After the fat man left, Li gently rubbed his head. He was really tired. From this morning to now, he has received several groups of guests, but the result is still good, and he has reaped a lot of benefits.

   "Next," Li Wei said.

   Soon the handsome account opened, and a chubby black man walked in.

  As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and then crawled over.

   Li Wei looked at him speechlessly, what is this doing?

   "Dear General Li Wei, I am guilty, and I confess to you."

   said the black howl.

   "Let's talk about it, what's your name, what's your sin?"

   Li Wei tapped the table and said.

   "My name is Pomirka, a tribal chief in Numidia. Before, I was deceived by others and did not prevent the tribe from joining Durmitius' army."

   said the black man.

   "I didn't expect you to commit such a big crime. This is difficult to handle. According to my order, you are to be designated as the public enemy of Rome."

   Li Wei frowned and said.
