Chapter 100 The Competitive Gifts Brought by the Generals
Chapter 100 The Competitive Gifts Brought by the Generals
Pender was very curious, what gift they brought him, and why they showed such disturbing smiles.
But he held back and didn't take the initiative to ask.
After all, sometimes knowing ahead of time is not beneficial.
When the gladiatorial fight started, everyone stopped talking, but watched the match very seriously.
The four-day competition passed quickly, and a total of [-] slaves were freed, and they could find work in the outer cities or join the army.
Of course, after all, there is no craftsmanship, so most of them join the army directly.
There were 3 civilians, all of whom could enter and leave the outer city and inner city freely, join the army, do business freely, and some of them passed the examination to participate in politics.
There are 5000 people who have become citizens. It's not that Pan De gave too few places, but that there are too few people who can win so many games.
Citizens have great rights and interests. Most of the citizens do not have to work. They go to the library every day to prepare for participating in politics, or simply to study.
So there are very few citizens and most of the people are civilians.
Because citizens are raised by the Roman Empire, they are considered a kind of aristocratic class, but they do not have the privilege of exempting the nobles from military service.
In order to win over the hearts of the slaves, Pan De also specially presented awards to these slaves who had won rewards in the arena, and recognized No.1 in public, and appointed him as his personal guard.
After the awards were presented, Pan De personally took these people back to the city wall area, fulfilled all the promises on the rewards, and allowed all the immediate family members of these people to be free.
"I hereby announce that the arena will be opened every three months in the future. The rules will remain the same each time, and there will be a special addition. Anyone with unique abilities can also register and be hired according to the situation. It is said that the outstanding ones are civilians or citizens, who can participate in politics!"
Under the watchful eyes of all the slaves, Pan De expressed his follow-up promise. He gave all the slaves hope and gave them room to rise.
This action made the entire walled area boil, and the slaves kept chanting Pendor's name, seeing him as the savior.
Agrippa and others have been following Pan De, and they are very clear about Pan De's every move, and they appreciate it very much.
"How about it, isn't this kid good? I went to see it myself when I just came here." Drusus said with a smile.
Let's introduce the general again.
He was the adopted son of Tiberius. In fact, he should be called Germanicus the Younger, which came from his father.
His father, Nero Claudius Drusus, was a distinguished general of the Roman Empire.
His father was not Nero, the tyrant in history, but Octavian's adopted grandson, Tiberius' younger brother, known as Drusus the Great.
The achievements of the two Germanicus, big and small, were great. Although they did not become emperors, the later Roman emperors took it as one of the most noble life goals to obtain this title through the military exploits of conquering Germany.
His status is no lower than that of Agrippa, so his affirmation is also crucial.
"It's very good, but now I'm curious about his attitude towards nobles."
Valus smiled, he didn't care about the nobles now.Those nobles were different from him, he was a member of an ancient family, and his grandfather was Mark Anthony, one of the Big Three.
That's right, it is the Anthony in history, Octavian's opponent.
But he himself was promoted by Octavian, and he was regarded as Octavian's direct descendant.
"What kind of attitude can you have? Judging by this kid's appearance, it must be because he has a handle, and he is waiting to appease the slaves before starting the operation."
Seleuto didn't care, he was the oldest among them.
He was active in the period before Caesar, around 100 BC. He was a famous general in the late Roman Republic.
The reason why it is here is because Augustus summoned his heroic spirit by chance.
The original object was supposed to belong to Pompey, but it wasn't bad, and in some ways better.
After all, Pompeo may have some inappropriate thoughts, which are not good for the situation.
"These tumors have been there for a long time, and even you, Valus, can't get used to them, so it really means that there is no need for them to exist."
An old voice came, and then a man who didn't match the voice came over.
The first time I saw him, I felt only tall, mighty, and strong!
Although his beard and hair are all white, he has the feeling that although a tiger is old, its majesty is still there.
"Father," said little Drusus.
Except for Sedorius and Agrippa who nodded slightly, including Drusus Jr., they all bowed to him.
It wasn't just these generals present, there were also some deputies.
"Since you have chosen, you must spare no effort. Your Majesty won't be able to last long. The heir is imminent." Great Drusus spoke very bluntly, blocking the retreat with one sentence.
"No problem." Agrippa nodded, which already means everything.
Agrippa, Drusus, and the other three all recognized Pender, so even if Valus and Sertorius objected, it would be of no use, and would even cause disgust.
That would be so ungrateful.
A smart person wouldn't do that kind of thing, not to mention that Pendor is the valid heir in accordance with the right of inheritance, irrefutable.
Seeing everyone nodding, Grand Drusus smiled with satisfaction, then turned and left.
As soon as he left on his front foot, Pan De came back on his back foot.
"Generals, let's go. I'm looking forward to your gift now. What is it?"
Pan De greeted several people, although it was strange why they were all looking at the same place, but seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he suppressed his curiosity and changed the subject directly.
As soon as these words were asked, Sertorius, Drusus Jr., and Varus laughed.
"You will know soon, go back and rest first, see you in the arena tomorrow morning."
The three smiled mysteriously and left side by side.
This gave Pan De a bad premonition, he couldn't be messing with me, right?Beat me up yourself?
Not too possible.what would that be
Pan De couldn't figure it out, but now that the generals have left and today's competition is over, Pan De, who has nothing else to do, returned to his office to rest with a feeling of confusion.
Day [-].
Before dawn, the arena was already crowded with people.
However, unlike the previous days,
In the center of today's big arena, there are three huge objects covered with cloth, and the arena is also surrounded by a layer of powerful barriers, separating the arena from the auditorium.
"Go, Pande, and enter from the entrance of the venue. This is our test for you, and it is also approved by His Majesty. If you pass it, it proves that you are qualified to accept our allegiance, and you will gain control of the three major legions."
Drusus Jr. threw three seals to the center of the arena.
The seal spun around in the air, and then landed firmly on the stone pillar behind the three huge objects.
Pan De didn't say much, when he saw those three things, he knew about the trial project, but he didn't know what he was going to face, but there was nothing to be afraid of.
Pan De walked into the arena, met everyone's eyes, and stood opposite the three objects.
"Everyone! The original duel has been postponed for one day. According to His Majesty's order, today, the consul, Pender Lee Augustus, will be tested! Without further ado, let's begin!"
Following the order of Little Drusus, a clearly visible voice sounded in the ears of the audience,
"Crack!"
