Chapter 743

Early the next morning, Zhang Heng saw the Germanic people sitting in the prison car.

At this time, the Germanic people are not as promising as the descendants of later generations. They spread all over Europe. At that time, the Germanic people were still barbarians in the eyes of the Roman people, which is a general name for the barbarian tribes on the right bank of the Rhine River. However, the war between them and the Roman people has a long history. The first conflict between the two sides can be traced back to 113 BC.

The two Germanic tribes touched the Danube River to attack Roman towns. They wanted to get a vote and then left. As a result, they were beaten by the Roman Legion stationed there and could not find the north. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, there is no doubt that the burly Germanic people have the advantage, but the Roman people have stronger discipline and better equipment, and the Roman classical linear tactics are very smooth Thought was even absorbed by modern linear tactics.

Therefore, the Germanic people who advocated personal bravery suffered a great loss, but their heart of going south never died. For a long time after that, there were border conflicts and frictions. Especially in the first century, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing drove the Xiongnu westward, which brought disaster to Europe.

The Germanic people became sandwich biscuits in the middle, which could only speed up the pace of going south. Aurelius had been dealing with the invasion of the Germanic people since he was still alive. The two sides had a lot of tug of war, and after hundreds of years of fighting and learning, the barbarians had made great progress. At the same time, they had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the Roman Legion, and their production technology had also been improved, becoming more and more advanced The more difficult it is to deal with.

However, Zhang Heng knew that the war between the two sides was coming to an end soon. He had learned from varo that the current time was 180 A.D. the former Emperor Aurelius had just died in the front line, and his son kangmaode succeeded him.

Commaud was not interested in the war with the Germanic people. If not unexpected, he would soon sign a truce agreement with the leader of the Germanic people in exchange for providing subsidies to the Germanic tribes every year.

Considering the distance between the front line and the capital, perhaps the two sides have signed a treaty now, but the news has not yet come back, so the present group of Germanic people may also be the last group of prisoners of war.

It can be seen that they did not feel very well along the way. As the invaders of the north, their image in the hearts of the Romans can be imagined. Some people even threw stones at them along the way. However, these Germanic people were not afraid, but laughed loudly.

One of the most burly men turned to his companion and said, "a bunch of girls."

In short, they came to Gladiator school in such a hostile atmosphere.

The slave dealer in charge of escorting and the person in charge of the school counted their heads and began to discuss the final price. They soon got together the price of the others and made a deal at 3000 sesters per person, but there seemed to be a big difference between the two sides on the last person, the biggest guy.

The head of the school wanted to buy it for 5000 sestes, but the slavers insisted on 10000 sestes.

Because they were far away from each other, and both sides spoke very fast, Zhang Heng couldn't hear clearly, so he asked one side of varo, "what are they talking about?"

"Er, the slaver said that the man fought bravely and caused a lot of trouble to our army. Many of them died in his hands, and they were very strong. As long as they were trained casually, they would become a girl killer, and the ladies in Rome would be fascinated by him. He could make the owners here earn a lot of money." Varo explained.

At the same time, he began to worry about his future. "These Germanic people are prisoners of war. They all look very powerful. The average Gladiator is only two thousand sesters. Although I sold myself for two thousand five, it's because I have the ability to manage. Each of them sells three thousand, and the guy asking for ten thousand. We won't be their opponent."

Zhang Heng was noncommittal.

From last night to now, he has not been completely idle. At least he has searched around the place where he lives. I don't know if it is because he doesn't feel any threat to them. The Gladiator school doesn't take strict care of them. As long as he doesn't go out, he can go anywhere.

As for the slaves who have become gladiators, they seem to be more free. They can even walk out of the gate to have fun.

This is not the same as the Gladiator school in Zhang Heng's imagination. With his skill and his new shadow power, it's not difficult to escape from here at night. What's more difficult is what to do afterwards.

As the only Han Chinese who went deep into the enemy's rear of the Roman Empire, his appearance was quite recognizable. Moreover, if he had no identity as a Roman citizen and could only serve as a runaway slave, his life in Rome would have a lot of troubles.

Therefore, after a little consideration, Zhang Heng gave up the idea of escaping. Instead of hiding in anonymity, he would be a free man in Gladiator school.

Varo is afraid of becoming a gladiator, but Zhang Heng is not worried. He has lv4's sword skills. In terms of combat experience, the group of seemingly draggable Germanic people can't match him alone.

In fact, Zhang Heng's real attention is not on the new barbarians.In order to successfully accept these slaves and prisoners of war and avoid any trouble, the Gladiator school also dispatched some staff, including six gladiators and two trainers. It was not the muscular gladiators who attracted Zhang Heng's attention, but one of the Persian trainers.

He didn't look very impressive. He was short and old. He was one of those people who could easily be ignored in the crowd. If it wasn't for his light blue eyes, he would be like the Roman people everywhere on the street.

Now Zhang Heng basically can get a lot of useful information after a glance, but only this old Persian trainer, Zhang Heng finds that he can't see anything from him.

The head of the training school quarreled with the slaver for a while, but the two sides finally negotiated the price. Considering the previous result, the price of 3000 sestes for the Germanic was very good, so the slaver gave up and finally paid the man 7000 sestes.

Both sides were satisfied, but the one who was dissatisfied was the one who was sold. The biggest Germanic seemed to feel that the price insulted him. He scolded discontentedly, which made his companions laugh.

These people are all soldiers of different tribes. After they were caught by the Romans, they didn't want to live. They were not afraid to see that they were sold to Gladiator school. On the contrary, they were still in a state of excitement. Obviously, they didn't pay attention to the Romans around them.
