"The warriors of the country must be chosen by the heroes. The son and father passed on their careers and then they exploited military skills." - Xuanzang's description of the Imperial Guards of the Great Tang Western Regions

After looking at Alp, Libida turned around and said to all the prisoners, "I am the highest commander of the Pharaoh's front line, and the power to handle things at the moment. Now I have three roads for you to choose from. If anyone wants to return to the Kusi area of ​​Upper Nubia, we will distribute the severance fee; the second, I will immediately send a fleet to Sepi Island to pick up the family, and never violate their freedom and property, and allocate the unowned land around Perusim; the third, of course, is also what I hope most, that you can join our legion actively-I know that the black people of Cousi, who began to serve the Pharaoh a thousand years ago, are the most warlike soldiers in Egypt. If I give you the same white bread, beer and chili fish, and equip you with the same exquisite equipment, do you have the confidence to exert the same combat power as the other Hormahi Legion?"

At this moment, the lower-level officers who were familiar with Greek among the prisoners had already conveyed Li Bida's words to all the grassroots soldiers one by one. Most of the blacks (except a small number of them were incredible) were boiling. The three paths that Li Bida mentioned were actually useless to consider: they had left their hometown several generations ago, and to them, Cousy was just a place name for their hometown, and that's all. Even if they go back now, they have to travel through areas controlled by the Beniniki army, either being re-Latin or being executed; in addition, if the Roman commander was willing to protect the safety of some officers and soldiers' families on Sepi Island and allocate fortress fields, then farming was also the family's business. For themselves, being a soldier was an extra income, and everyone would calculate this account--because they could receive the same treatment and military pay as those soldiers with fair skin and continuing to be loyal to the genuine pharaohs, this is of course the best choice!

"Commander, I think you can unlock it first so that your behavior can match the language." At this time, Alp, who stood behind Libida, also suggested in fluent Greek that this young nobleman was actually considered a Medegis, otherwise how could he have such high prestige and incite the soldiers to rebel? Of course, Libida obviously also discovered this, so he used a sword to cut his rope to invite all the prisoners of war to buy the hearts of all prisoners of war.

Three days later, Libidaus said it was the only way. After the tide, the complex fleet arrived at Sepi Island, which was originally a naval fortress of the ancient Egyptian army. Later, it gradually abandoned and became a refuge for family members. It was surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only one leading to land, and when the tide was low, all the black prisoners of war were untied and stood densely on the beach. When they saw family members and animals with fear and tired expressions sitting on the deck, looking at each other in the crowd, looking at each other and cheering, "Long live Libidaus, the descendant of King Numa!" Everyone cheered with tears in their eyes.

The general Otto Aarons, who followed Libida, soon his property in Perusim was liquidated - tens of thousands of Yogel land, planted with flax, wheat, spices, and many well-equipped fish ponds and canals. They were originally intended to support the Macedonian general's luxurious life, and took him with him up to eight hundred servants and servants, but are now all assigned to Nubian soldiers. In return, among the two thousand prisoners of war, except for more than three hundred disabled.

The personnel were placed in the fortress to do some miscellaneous work and were able to receive a considerable salary. The rest were all incorporated into the Restoration Army. Li Bida kept reiterating: "The release and preferential treatment of you is not actually my own arbitrary decision, but the kindness of the Pharaoh. Your Majesty is tired of continuing to indulge the powerful and priests. What they need is the assistance of you mortals, and on behalf of Serapis, Zeus and Amon, he will never take back the interests assigned to everyone!"

Finally, the loss of property and power, Otto Aarons was called in front of him very kindly by Li Bida, "General Otto Aarons, do you know the sin of resisting Pharaoh?"

"I don't know." This is a trembling voice.

"No, I think you should know that His Majesty Ptolemy would use the rut with a nail head to smash it deeply into your head, then cut it off and hang it on the fortress tower and air-dried."

"Mr. Commander, I don't know this, this is, why!" This was a mixed voice of confusion, anger and horror.

Li Bida and Anthony next to him laughed, and then Li Bida stood up, pressed Anthony's shoulder, and said that he was going to patrol the camp, and the matter here was left to you. Anyway, it was also the responsibility of the military civilian officials.

So the magistrate sighed at the defeated general who was still sitting opposite him, then crossed his hands and raised his legs on the table, with an extremely cynical attitude and tone, "There is still room for maneuver in this matter, but what I am curious is, besides the fortress's land, how many assets do you have?"

The idiot also knew what Anthony was referring to, and Otto Aarons gritted his teeth and said that there were about fifty Tarsten.

Anthony burst into laughter, then pointed to the other party, saying, "In three days, get one hundred for me. Also, this is a little secret between us. Even General Libidaus does not need to know. I think you will keep your promise, right?" After that, he walked to the dejected defeated general, and slapped him in the cheeks kindly and affectionately, just like a small slave in his family. Then he walked out, suddenly stopped in front of the door, turned around and asked, "By the way, General, you have a few beautiful black-skinned female slaves."

"It's so hateful... After a long review, the other party was only willing to hand over thirty Tarent's money in exchange for stability." In the fortress temple, Anthony picked his teeth with a small stick and slowly walked to Li Bida who was praying in front of the altar, and reported.

"Don't say this to me in detail. Anyway, I have entrusted you with it, right?" Li Bida gently spilled the water in his hand into the basin of the magic tool, and then Sabo next to him handed him a scarf. Li Bida stood up and wiped his hands clean, and told everyone that he would follow me to patrol the camp.

Perusim's military camp is divided into three parts, one is the fortress barracks, mainly two 1,000-man brigades; one is the sentry barracks, scattered in the streets and hills by various brigades of the legion; and the other is the "Serapis Legion", which was newly formed by Libida using Nubian prisoners of war, some of the indigenous people and fleet sailors who were jealous of the trophy, and some of the soldiers who were liberated early (mainly made contributions in the battle of Perusim's Fortress). The total number is less than 3,000. It is stationed near Sepi Island and is building bridges on Sepi Island. Libida uses this method to allow these people to integrate into the Roman legion's life as soon as possible. (To be continued...)
