"So young!"

"Can it be the temptation of the Legion Commander? Is it really testing our eyesight?"

After hearing Li Wei's self-introduction, the people in the tent discussed with each other, as if they did not believe what Li Wei said. After all, Li Wei was too young. Even the wealthy families of the empire could not ascend to the throne of the legion commander at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Li Wei ignored the mess of those people and said directly: "I am indeed the commander of this legion. Although our legion's equipment and financial resources are a little stronger than other legions, our legion is just an auxiliary legion. So it is not surprising that I can be the commander of the auxiliary legion at this age.

Li Wei's words made the tent even louder. Nothing else, after all, what Li Wei said had a great impact on these mercenaries. When they were staying in Li Wei's camp just now, these people had quite seen the heritage of Li Wei's legion. Not to mention those amazingly protected armors, those exquisite weapons and equipment, the tall horses alone are not something that ordinary legion can afford.

In fact, in these people, the mounts of ordinary soldiers are mounts that only senior officers can afford. Such strength is just an auxiliary corps?

Is the power of the empire's army so powerful? Is the decline of the empire in recent years just a manifestation? This is the question in the hearts of everyone here.

Li Wei rarely paid attention to what these people were thinking. He said straight to the point: "Tell me what you want! You may not just look at our legion's strength! If you have any ideas, just say it. If it is reasonable, I will accept it."

After hearing Li Wei's words, the camp tent suddenly became quiet. After a while, the two envoys who were obviously ordinary people first asked, "That's right, is your commander of our camp?"

Li Wei sighed in his heart, thinking that it was indeed for this matter, so he couldn't help but say calmly: "Not yet, but it will be soon. I think no one will do such a thankless thing except for a young man like me."

When the two envoys heard this, they looked at each other and didn't understand what Li Wei meant. They couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean is that you will become the commander of the camp? In that case, how will you arrange for us?"

Li Wei spread his hands and said bluntly: "We don't have to care so much about the official clichés. In fact, you and I know that the so-called commander of the mercenary camp is just a title. No one will take it seriously. Moreover, I don't have the confidence that your legion can obey orders. So, just do whatever you want. As long as you do it better in terms of face, I won't care what you do. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

After saying that, Li Wei ignored the two ordinary envoys and walked directly to the three envoys with different temperaments from ordinary people and said, "I don't know who the three are? I'm a little curious about which forces you are in the camp. However, if you have the courage to come to my camp, you must not be the leaders of some small forces."

The three of them looked at each other, nodded each other, and then the older middle-aged man began to introduce themselves: "I am Armin, the leader of the mercenary from Italy."

"France's Jean, I am the leader of the Gladiator League (Units Army). No, I should be said to be one of the leaders! But the other leader, Ren, must have seen it just now?" Jean said in a stingy tone, "You are a person who knows us very well."

Li Wei glanced at him indifferently and said slowly: "It's just a general understanding." Then he turned his gaze to the young man.

Finally, the young man smiled and greeted Li Wei. He said gently in baritone: "My name is Lancelot, and I am from France."

Li Wei's pupils shrank, and he quickly returned to normal. He thought to himself: It was indeed Lancelot. I really didn't expect to meet you in France. Is this the arrangement of fate? Well, should I kill you here? You must know that you are the one who will give that guy a lot of trouble...

When Lancelot saw Li Wei staring at him, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Hiss Li Wei, are you okay? Have we seen him before?"

Li Wei came back to his senses from his own thoughts and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now. I'm sorry." Li Wei thought for a while and gave up the tempting idea of ​​killing Lancelot. After all, killing Lancelot now, let's not talk about whether it can be killed, but doing so will give other mercenaries a sense of danger, and may even make Li Wei's army victim before the war begins...

Because he was concerned about the possible bad effects, Li Wei still maintained the harmless smile on the surface and said, "I have heard of the names of the three. It can be said that the three are famous people in this camp. This time I came to my camp, it would be so simple to confirm whether I am the commander of this camp? I guess you all have other intentions, right?"

When the two envoys heard Li Wei's words and the introductions of other bigwigs, they knew that the next thing was not something they could participate at this level, so they couldn't help but take back to Li Wei first. They quickly returned to their power camp and reported to their leaders what happened in the camp.

After the two envoys left, Armin took the lead in admiring: "You are really meticulous. Not only did you guess the purpose of the two envoys, but you also knew that we had something to discuss with you. Just this point, it is not uncommon for you to become the commander of the legion at this age."

Li Wei shrugged and said indifferently: "It's not a great skill anyway. We'd better talk less and just talk about your purpose."

"Okay, hurry up and speak!" Alming nodded, stopped talking clichés, and directly expressed his purpose. "This time we came to discuss with you for the decisive battle a few days later."

"What's the decisive battle?" Li Wei said with a look of emotion, "Is there anything special? Constantine III's army is expected to arrive in five days. At that time, as long as we follow the arrangements of Aches, we will probably be able to defeat the rebels, quell the rebellion, and restore the glory of the empire. Is there anything to discuss?"

At this time, let's speak directly: "If you really think that way, I'm afraid you won't come to this mercenary camp. Before your appointment letter has arrived, you can't wait to come to this camp. Are you really as just as you said?"

"Oh? Is there anything else to say?" Li Wei said slowly, but his eyes suddenly became sharper, staring at Jean.

At this time, Arming finished the fight and said, "Don't do this, just say something." Then he said to Li Wei with a little blame, "It was you who said you should not talk clichés, but now you are like this! If you do this again, we may not be able to continue our conversation."

Having said that, Armin's footsteps did not move at all. He did not mean to leave at all.

After hearing Aerming's words, Li Wei knew that he could not hold on anymore. He couldn't help but put away the harmless smile of humans and animals and said coldly: "So that's it. It turns out that you came for the rebels' supplies. I think you want to drag me, the nominal commander, into the water and take the blame for you? You must know that disrespecting military orders on the battlefield is a death sentence."

Li Wei knew the purpose of the three people in front of him from Arming's words just now. In fact, this is not difficult to guess. After all, the purpose of the mercenaries is money. If they really fight for the righteousness of the empire, then those alien races cannot cross the Rhine and cannot approach Rome.

The reason why they came to him must be for the sake of a name. Li Wei thought to himself.

"Tsk! Didn't you come for the rebels' supplies?" Rang said disdainfully, as if he was despising Li Wei's character.

Armin said with a smile: "How could we let you take the blame? We just want you to cooperate with our actions. Since you have such a strong force, you must not plan to return empty-handed."

At this time, Lancelot, who had not spoken, spoke: "In fact, we just lacked an opportunity and enough manpower. We have already managed the regular army. It is just because of our mercenary status, we are not too proactive. After all, the reputation of mercenaries is not very good! No one will believe in mercenaries who have not paid commissions."

Li Wei narrowed his eyes. Looking at the three people in front of him who had obviously reached some agreements, he said slowly: "Oh? That is to say, do you want me to hire you? Sorry, I don't have enough funds to hire mercenaries for the time being."

"And I don't think you will really accept other people's employment at this time." Li Wei said incisively.

The three people who were discovered by Li Wei did not look unnatural in their faces, but admitted calmly: "Indeed, we are more interested in the rebels' supplies. As long as we can obtain those supplies, it will probably not be a problem in the next life."

"Do you have the determination to get those baggage? Are you fully confident?" Li Wei couldn't help but speak out and tentatively when he saw the three people full of confidence.

However, none of the three of them were easy to deal with. In the end, the cunning Armin spoke out: "We already have enough plans to enable us to achieve our goals. But we can't reveal it to you now... How about it? Do you want to join us?"

Li Wei closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "What do you need me to do?"

When they heard that Li Wei had the intention to join, the three of them looked happy, and then they said, "We need you to contact the regular army. After all, our weapons are still insufficient. And the military rations are a bit lacking. You need to help us fight for this. And we also need you to get their offensive plan and defense maps. After all, after we succeed, we have to pass through their camp."

Li Wei said a little disbelief: "This is so simple? I think this shouldn't be all you want me to do?"

Lancelot said confidently: "Of course it's not that simple. It's just a preliminary plan! There are also subsequent arrangements. It's just that you can't know now. After all, both of us don't trust you enough, so we can't tell you all the plans. I hope you can forgive me."

Li Wei felt a little moved and asked quietly: "It's really prudent. Could it be that you came up with the plan this time, Lancelot?"

"Indeed, this plan was Lancelot's idea. Jean and I agreed." Armin replied.

Li Wei nodded, and then said indifferently: "Okay, since that's the case, then I will join! I will think that the regular army means that you have joined my auxiliary corps and become my subordinates. Then apply for ordnance to the regular army in this name. What do you think so?"

Lancelot and the others discussed it for a while, then agreed to Li Wei's proposal, and after discussing some details with Li Wei, they left Li Wei's camp and returned to their camp.

At this time, Alta, who witnessed the whole process, asked Li Wei: "Is this good for Li Wei? I think their plan is not that simple, as if there is a conspiracy hidden. Is it really good for us to join in like this? Besides, we don't have to rely on their strength. Just by our words, we can get the rebels' baggage. Why do we have to work with them?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "I know they have their own plans, so I want to see where they can go. After all, there is a possibility of becoming enemies among them. It is not bad to touch them in advance."

"And because of the joining of these mercenaries, we can still apply for more military equipment and rations from the regular military camps. Why not do it? You must know that our army has no large weapons such as catapults and crossbows!" Li Wei said with a gleam in his eyes.

"It turns out that you agreed to join them for those large equipment? Indeed, if the number of people reaches a certain level, the Empire will be equipped with certain large equipment as the foundation of the legion. But in this situation, will things really go so smoothly?" Alta said with some concern.

Li Wei smiled mysteriously and said indifferently: "Of course I have my own way of doing this. Now I'm waiting for the messenger of the regular army. As long as they come, things will become my control."

At this time, someone came to report that the messenger from the Roman camp had arrived at the camp gate.

Li Wei and Arta looked at each other and then went to meet the Roman messenger together.

Soon, Li Wei took his appointment letter from the Roman messenger. As Li Wei expected, the Roman camp really appointed Li Wei as the supreme commander of the entire mercenary camp. He also had the right to command all mercenaries in the mercenary camp.

Li Wei accepted this appointment on the surface, but sneered in his heart. If he did not have enough strength, who would listen to you with a letter of permission alone?

However, Li Wei, who was not concerned about this, gave him some things to the messenger and asked him to hand them over directly to the commander-in-chief Aches of the camp.

After the messenger left, Alta asked curiously: "Li Wei, what did you hand over to the messenger? Why did he look nervous?"

"It's nothing, it's just a token of some old friends. With him, I'm afraid Aches will obediently send the weapons we need." Li Wei smiled mysteriously, "Okay, let's study what's going on in our plan! The war will start soon, and I don't expect any big mess to come out at that time."

Although he was curious about what Li Wei handed over to the messenger, Alta was more interested in the plan mentioned by Li Wei. After all, every time he studied the plan with Li Wei, he would learn a lot of military knowledge.

Soon, Alta left this matter behind.

After confirming the source of the token, the messenger who received Li Wei's token quickly returned to the Roman camp without stopping, and told the camp coach Aches.

"You said that guy Li Wei accepted the order very calmly and asked you to come back with some tokens? According to that person's personality, this shouldn't happen! What did he ask you to come?" Aches asked calmly.

The messenger said with some fear, "It is the princess's token, and there is another letter."

"What?! The princess' token?" Aches was shocked when he heard the messenger's words. Nilu had disappeared for a while, and the royal family and Stilico attached great importance to the princess. Stilico even used all means to find the princess, but found nothing.

Under such circumstances, some people even think that the princess is dead.

It is precisely because of this view that the relationship between the royal family and Stilico has reached an unprecedented level. If it weren't for the external and internal troubles at this time, Stilico would have been reported to Rome for trial.

And it was at this time that there were clues about the whereabouts of the princess, how could Aches sit still?

"Take that thing up." Aches calmed down and urged him quickly.

The messenger quickly delivered what Li Wei asked him to Aches, and he didn't dare to give it.

When Aches saw such a token, he felt relieved. With the time he and Nilu were together, he could indeed recognize that it was Nilu's token. Then he quickly opened the letter Li Wei gave him.

It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but when he saw Aches felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. It turned out that Li Wei had told him that the princess had been found by him. Because of His Highness, he could not tell the whereabouts of His Highness. But if Aches agreed to his request, then...

"This is blackmail!!!" Aches said gritting his teeth, "Wait for me! Li Wei! Quartermaster, come in!"
