Chapter 242: The Slaughterer's Watch

It is well known that parachuted superiors always cause dissatisfaction among subordinates, especially the old men who are closest to this position.

And Golin Varus is even more so - he was the one who was kicked down by Shuoyue when he was sitting in the commander's position.

Even so, he didn't have much resentment in his heart, because he stood on the city wall and witnessed Shuoyue defeating thousands of cavalry with hundreds of guards.

Although people can't escape from intrigues, in the army, famous generals with both literary and military strategies are always respected.

But who made him sit on the side of the Senate?

When Nero was surrounded, the elders of the Senate even prepared the puppet emperor who would replace him. Even if the female emperor escaped and wanted to enter the city to defend, he, Golin Varus, would deliberately delay the time of opening the door to give the joint army more opportunities.

Who would have thought that a young man fell from the sky, and he happened to be a famous general who could defeat the majority with a small number?

Just as if the god Romulus wanted to punish him for his ulterior motives, not long after Nero welcomed the new moon, he was demoted to become the deputy general of the white-haired young man.

You know, the Senate spent countless resources and did countless dirty things behind the scenes for him to become the commander-in-chief, but in the end, it failed because of an inexplicable guy!

After learning the news, the elders were naturally furious and ordered him to find an opportunity to pull down the new commander-in-chief, and it would be best to cut him into pieces to vent their hatred.

There was no way, Golin Varus reluctantly accepted the task, and then immediately rubbed his hands, contacted his old subordinates, and waited for an opportunity to act.

Look, he got the opportunity the next day.

A military stronghold guarded by only 500 people and an enemy stronghold guarded by 2,000 people, no matter how you look at it, the military stronghold is more valuable and easier to break.

But the new commander chose to capture the enemy's stronghold!

Of course, Golin Varus also understood the reason why the young man made such a choice - if the battle report was slightly modified, the achievement of defeating a regiment of 2,000 people would be much better than that of 500 people. Moreover, if the problem was solved so quickly, the value of the general could not be highlighted.

The enemy was so stupid that it was wiped out in just one battle;

He won many battles and was like a god of war, so that the enemy was frightened and dared not cross the line.

Which of these two battle results can better promote the commander's bravery and glory?

The answer is self-evident, not to mention that the reason why Golin Varus was able to take office was also the result of letting a weak tribe go back and forth and clearing it out dozens of times.

Ha... In a sense, his young superior is really wise but foolish.

It's a pity that his legion is not in the same mind as him.

"I know what you're thinking, young man." He stared at the white-haired young man and sneered, "But as a lieutenant, I don't think this is a wise choice."

As if he wanted everyone in the barracks to hear him, Goering emphasized his tone and said:

"Do you want to let thousands of brothers in the legion bleed and sacrifice for your own selfish desires, sir!"

Rosario's face flushed, and he opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Shuoyue's wave of his hand.

"I understand your thoughts, lieutenant." Since he didn't know the name, he simply used the title instead. Shuoyue replied without much care, "But I think I have an obligation to remind you that the army of the Roman United Empire is not as stupid as you. They only sent 500 people to station there, and they naturally have their reasons."

Don't think about what famous actors are playing against Nero - Uncle Caligula, 'Conqueror' Caesar, 'Father of Rome' Romulus... This is a blood-boiling combination of skills played by our ancestors. Why does this guy think they can't even see such a flaw?

However, Golin Varus was already so angry at Shuoyue's natural and contemptuous word "stupid" that he lost his mind. He stared at Shuoyue's blood-red eyes, and felt that there was undisguised ridicule in his eyes.

Under the intense emotions, he did not notice the sea of ​​blood and corpses wrapped around the young man, nor did he smell the bloody smell that could not be concealed on him - no, perhaps it was because such an illusion was too shocking that caused this general who was good at nourishing qi to quickly lose his mind.

[Man-killer: A+]

There are many famous generals in the history of China, but there is only one who is called "Man-killer".

The spirit is as hard as iron and is not controlled by the spirit.

It has a great oppressive force on the army. Once it appears, it will cause a serious blow to the morale of the enemy, while the morale of the own army will be high - in a sense, it can be regarded as a kind of leadership temperament.

Although humans are very forgetful creatures, the Avenger will never forget - he is following the shadow of the beast that destroyed the princes.

Because Golin Varus was a general, he could sense a deeper fear from this scene.

How many people must be killed for the bloody smell and resentment to become so strong that they cannot be shaken off? !

What kind of determination must be held to maintain human sanity in the Shura Realm where countless lives are killed? !

"Damn it! A guy who relies on women to get to the top, don't get carried away!" As if realizing his own gaffe, Golin Varus took a deep breath and tried to speak his purpose in a calm tone.

"In that case, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Compete?" This time, Shuoyue couldn't help but smile.

He had just come up with the idea of ​​digging a hole, and this guy had already booked the coffin.

"That's just what I want. Come on, dear lieutenant."

A few hours later, the army set out and split into two parties the moment they stepped out of the camp.

The general of one party was a young man with white hair and bloodshot eyes. Behind him was a horizontal team of more than 2,000 soldiers.

The general of the other party was naturally the former commander, Gorin Varus. Behind him were all the remaining troops of the legion, also about 2,000 people.

Goering wore scale armor and a red cape, and proudly pulled his tall horse, shouting:

"The rules of the game are as follows - each side leads half of the soldiers to capture an enemy camp. The fastest and best-preserved side wins! May the gods of heaven and earth witness this contest!"

After shouting, Goering looked at Shuoyue demonstratively and drew the ceremonial sword at his waist: "Let's go!"

So two thousand soldiers began their journey in a mighty manner. Behind them, the commander with blood-red eyes looked at them, as if he was seeing off the dead walking on the road to the underworld.

"Have a good journey, I won't see you off."
