Umberto has already dealt with all the matters in Media. The battle between Ma Chao and Aldashir was still very useful. At least after such an honest fight, there are some thieves in Central Asia who are eager to try due to the changes in the weather. The bandits were all frightened.
The Seventh Eagle Banner Legion, the weakest in Rome, dared to smash the heads of the Holy Death Riders. If they were scattered, it would be better not to cause trouble on the territory of the Governor of Human Media.
Therefore, what Severus and others were originally worried about, that after the natural change, the bandits in Central Asia discovered that Rome's strength was declining and started to riot without knowing whether to live or die, did not happen.
This is also the reason why the Roman Parliament urgently promoted Ma Chao and let Ma Chao sit in Media. In the current situation, the Media area needs someone who can fight, and Ma Chao is super capable of fighting, and has truly deterred the Central Asian bandits. As long as something like the golden body is not broken, the psychological pressure on the first person who wants to jump out will be extremely huge.
Just like those people in the Tang Dynasty who suppressed millions of square kilometers of the Persian Protectorate, as long as the Invincible Golden Body is not broken, the group of people in the suppressed area will not have any objections. The same thing Ma Chao is facing now Such a thing.
If the bandits from Central Asia were to make trouble for Ma Chao one after another, Ma Chao was an iron man and would gradually lose his fighting power due to running around. However, Ma Chao couldn't stand it and had a fight with Aldashir. He got Aldashir's Admit it—you and your country win.
In this way, as long as Central Asian bandits are not stupid, they will not jump out to cause trouble on a large scale, and the stability maintenance plan can be truly implemented.
This is also the reason why Umberto brought half of his soldiers to follow him after his legionnaire ran away, because at this point, the Central Asian bandits who are still rational have given up and continue to cause trouble, and those who are irrational, how much more is needed Do you have enough strength to survive till now?
It's just Ma Chao's way of running away that makes Umberto really tired. Even after working with Ma Chao for many years, Umberto still feels that Ma Chao is really the kind of guy who is not human when he acts like a prostitute. He didn't get hammered to death purely because of his vitality. Too tenacious.
"Ahem, cough, cough, we are just acting." Ma Chao quickly threw aside Li Jue's paw that was on his neck, sat up straight and explained to the camp leader.
"It's okay, we all know it." Umberto said expressionlessly.
"Can we go to North Africa now?" Ma Chao said excitedly. He had returned to Media before and after replenishing his troops, he wanted to go to North Africa, but he needed to give Ganassis face.
"Okay, we have solved most of the problems in Media and left half of the manpower for the First Centurion to take command. This is enough to solve the problem. If you want to go, we will follow you. ." Umberto sighed and said, feeling tired. The commander of his own army is good at everything, but sometimes he is too bearish.
"Ah, you didn't tell me earlier." Ma Chao jumped off Li Jue's horse, tore up the follow-up plan, and decisively returned to the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps. What else can be said? If he can lead troops, of course he must lead troops. After all, there is still a Legion of Thirty Eagle Flags in North Africa, and he still has a grudge against the other party.
"It's not that we didn't tell you earlier, but we haven't finished cleaning up Media before." Umberto said with a face. As the commander of the army, Ma Chao collapsed in Media when he came back. He knew the mission of banditry in Media. It all fell on Umberto.
However, I have to say that because the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps has high mobility and is indeed very capable of fighting, the sales volume completed by these tasks is very high.
"Oh, it's done now, right? It's done, let's go!" Ma Chao said very excitedly. As for the reason behind it, of course he didn't listen to a word!
"Uh, forget it, as long as you're happy." Umberto said helplessly, and he didn't bother to say what he originally wanted to say. Let's just leave it like that. I can get along anyway.
Originally, if a Roman Eagle Legion was to be divided into two groups, one would usually be the commander of the legion and the commander of the camp. Like now, Ma Chao and Umberto ran away together, leaving the first centurion in Media. Stationing is completely against regulations.
The problem is that based on Umberto's understanding of Ma Chao, if he didn't follow him and Ma Chao let himself go, his brain might fly out and become a new life, so he could only follow Ma Chao to North Africa and Media. , If it is not compliant, it is not compliant. As long as the flag and defense zone of the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion are still here, Umberto is confident that no one will attack.
From a certain point of view, this is indeed true. Ma Chao's Seventh Eagle Flag Legion has proven itself with its strength and military achievements, and it can barely be regarded as a wandering legion after the heavenly change.
"Then let's go!" Ma Chao said excitedly.
At this moment, Ma Chao was in high spirits. He raised his head and was about to say hello to Li Jue, saying that they would go all the way to North Africa and that someone would take care of them when the time came. However, when he looked up at Li Jue and the others, he found that the three of them looked at him with somewhat familiar eyes.
Erha's instinct activated, the other party wanted to ride me!
Erha cannot be allowed to be ridden by others. Dignity is extremely precious. No one can ride me.
The other party's eyes became even weirder, and they began to spread out, as if they wanted to capture us. After confirming their eyes, the other party did have this idea, and as expected, it was better not to say hello and run away!
Ma Chao made a decisive decision, turned over and jumped onto the flying sand, and then pretended that Li Jue and others did not exist, and ran away with the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps. Li Jue, who was watching this scene from the side, was heartbroken. Dust even fell all over them.
When the dust cleared, the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps had disappeared. Li Jue was so angry. What is called an animal? Ma Chao's behavior is called an animal.
"Asshole, don't let me catch you!" Li Jue scolded angrily. It's better for you and me. I'll take you to travel to North Africa. But this happened to you on the back. You, Ma Chao, are really not a good person. , I believed your evil deeds!
"You bitch, next time I surround him and beat him to death. I thought my character had softened after so many years, but in the end he is still a beast." Fan Chou was also very angry.
What is this? I thought my three brothers took the risk to rob you from Media. But now that you can go to North Africa, you abandon your brothers without mercy. Isn't it just to borrow your war horses? You have such a strong war horse, it’s enough for us to take you with you!
"Legion Commander, shall we leave Marquis Chi Yang and the others there?" Umberto was a little confused after Ma Chao gave the order, but he still carried out the order decisively. After running a long way, Umberto finally asked. Inner doubts.
"Ah, what is Marquis Chiyang? Where is it? I didn't see it." Ma Chao looked around as if he was searching. There was no doubt that Li Jue and the others were no longer in sight.
"..." Umberto said he couldn't answer the question.
"Ah, you said before, I'm actually not familiar with him, and we had a fight before." Ma Chao passed the blame on this matter without restraint.
Umberto was silent. I saw that you two had a good relationship before, but you still pinched your neck with someone else's hands and yelled at the top of your lungs for us to retreat. But now, in the blink of an eye, you are no longer familiar with each other. You have changed. The speed is really outrageous.
Maybe he couldn't stand Umberto's eyes. After all, he had been following him for many years. Ma Chao explained with a dry smile.
"You don't know, the look in the eyes of the three of them just now, they want to ride on us, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a heavy infantryman with short legs and can't run fast. He wants to go to North Africa quickly and needs a vehicle. I Once you make eye contact with him, you will understand what they are thinking." Ma Chao looked like he was thinking about the overall situation, but Umberto had already covered his face.
This is called unfamiliarity. You can understand what the other person is thinking just by looking at each other. This is called unfamiliarity. I think your Han Dynasty companion Chi Yanghou is very angry now.
"It doesn't matter, Marquis Chiyang's memory is not good, he will forget it in two days." Ma Chao blackmailed Li Jue for his wanton behavior, but Li Jue couldn't hear it anyway, so he was very happy.
"Actually, it's okay for us to bring Marquis Chiyang." Umberto suggested cautiously. Their war horses are very large, and as top-level war horses, they have high load-bearing and durability, so they brought San Fool on Umberto's side. It seems there is no problem.
As for whether it is strange or not, Umberto is very open-minded. It is just a casual thing. If you have anything, just bring it with you. It’s not like you have never brought it with you before. This kind of thing will happen once and become familiar the second time. Easy.
"It's really impossible to do this. He can't give us travel expenses, and I feel that he is more perverted than General Hua." Ma Chao decisively refused.
That's right, Li Jue and the other three are much more perverted than Hua Xiong. If Ma Chao had come close at that time, the three fools would definitely join forces to turn Ma Chao into a centaur...
In short, Ma Chao's failure to approach was a correct judgment made by intuition.
"Forget it, don't worry about them. They will arrive sooner or later anyway. Let's go to North Africa first. What's going on with the Thirty Eagle Banner Regiment recently? I heard they are also in dire straits." Ma Chao said with an amused smile. Raclelec was still quarreling with him in Rome, but now he has nothing to do with him.
"The Thirty Eagle Banner Legion is okay. It's just that because of the fight against the beast tide, their defense area moved from the position of the Kushite Dynasty to the Axum Dynasty." Umberto quickly told Ma Chao what he knew, "The south of the Kushite Dynasty has already Fallen."
"I thought he would have some amazing performance, is this it?" Ma Chao said with a teasing look, "Let the ports in the Persian Gulf prepare. We will go there by boat and go around to the back of the beast tide. I will give you thirty The Eagle Flag shows what it means to hit hard.”
"Ah?" Umberto was a little dazed. It was no problem to prepare ships in the ports of the Persian Gulf, but could he go around and strike hard? How many of us can attack tens of millions of ferocious beasts? I'm afraid this is not the time to finish. Can our few people be enough to fill the teeth of tens of millions of ferocious beasts?
