X.

Jun is aware that they cannot leave the camp as soon as they go through the conventional way. So he planned it carefully and he also prepare a small backpack containing things essential for survival such as water canteen, food, extra clothing, money and legal Roman documents for identification.

After three (3) days, Jun notified Yingyi that they will sneak out tonight after everyone is sleeping. Jun prepares a black mantle enough for two, to make them camouflage during their escape and a rope for the palisade.

Jun and Yingyi covered in black mantle with just eyes uncovered is now waiting for the right timing for the shift of patrol.

In just a few moment, Jun carried Yingyi on his back then ran towards the Palisade and placed the rope in a right position that can hold them both. With his super human strength, he easily climbed and just jumped off from the Palisade. He now ran like a Cheetah disappearing in to the nearby forest. The Roman sentry guards just barely noticed the shadow so it just ignored it.

In the morning, the whole Roman camp was on full alert because of the disappearance of Jun and Yingyi. Cnaeus was sweating cold because of the sudden event. After a day of searching the whole Roman camp and the nearby places, they still haven't found Jun and Yingyi. Cnaeus organized special legionnaires to look for Jun and Yingyi. But after a week of no result, they all decided to wait in the camp and to further continue the search.

At that time, Jun and Yingyi has already crossed the English channel. They are now on foot travelling in Gaul. Along the way, intercourse between them cannot be avoided.

After months of travelling, Yingyi's womb is now noticeable as she is already six months pregnant. Jun decided that they should look for a place to stay, a safe place while and waiting for Yingyi to give birth.

They are currently in Pontic region (Turkey), Jun decided to stay here as this place is relatively safe and have access for clean water and food. This will be a three-month stay so he knows that his money will not be enough for that.

Jun bought a small walled residence just a kilometer away from the city wall, it is worth 2 Roman gold coins. His remaining money is about 48 Roman gold coins, half will be used for business while the rest will be their savings.

The small residence gave off a feeling of safe security because of the wall and the terrain, wherein the small residence was built on top of the hill. The size of the property is 9 hectares, it includes the residence, the hill and the surrounding 4 hectares of land. The architectural design of the small residence is of Greek, because Pontus was part of the Hellenic world.

After Jun and Yingyi settled, both of them went to the nearby City of Sinope for shopping home products. The city has Roman garrison inside, lots of Roman goods and Far eastern products are commonly available in the market here like Silks, Roman glass, Porcelains and many home products.

Both of them bought food, seeds for crops, tools for farming, utensils and three cooking pots.

While they were heading home, Jun noticed a Roman legionnaire shouting about Rome needing able-bodied men for guard duties in the city with good pay. Jun became interested for the job, but he plan to go there after he have secured Yingyi in the residence.

In the morning, Jun finished fencing the extent of his property with wood from the nearby forest. At noon, Jun was finished plowing half of the land, by sunset the seeds are now planted and watered.

Next morning, he checked again the fences and placed some cheap glass spikes at their residence-wall, which he bought when they last visited Sinope city. By noon, he arrived at the guard recruitment center in Sinope city. 'I left the Yingyi without saying anything to her, because she might go hysterical or paranoid about anything. Its better to not inform her as I'm going home early.'

"Next!... State your name, your previous work and your skill." A Roman Officer asked Jun.

"I'm Jun, I know basic fighting with sword and bow. I work as a farmer just outside the city." Jun answered.

"Okay good. Soldier, go to the training field and follow the Officer's command."

As I went to the training field, I saw men the same as me lining up in square formation. So I filled the gap.

"Scumbags, you are not guards yet! I need you to run around this Training field for ten (10) laps. Now move!" the Roman officer ordered.

"hu-ah!" the applicants replied.

There are currently 300 applicants in this batch, Rome needs physically fit military personnel. And after 10 laps, only 168 applicant was left including Jun.

"Good, now that the numbers are even, I want you to pair with the person next to you. First pair, come forward. Everyone else, stay back. I want you to subdue him, now!"

84 applicant was left by the end of the sparring, Jun is one of them.

"Congratulations on passing the examination. Its almost sun set, go home and report back tomorrow early morning. Dismissed!"

Before going home, Jun took a short trip to the market to buy bread for Yingyi. As he arrive at home, no one welcomed him. He searched for Yingyi inside the house but instead he found several footprints, about 20 person entered his house. He also found the kitchen and their room was in chaos, no more valuable items. Anger arises from Jun, he followed the footsteps but as he continue outside downhill, the footsteps were gone.

He searched the surrounding areas, but it looks like the pillaging was done in the morning and there are similar farms around were pillaged too.

His blood was boiling, ever since he came to his consciousness, that woman was the only person geniunely cared for him. Not even in his previous life were he found such a geniune love, although it is morally wrong, feelings is feelings. The woman was also 7-months pregnant, that worsen his mood. He became restless but he got no idea where to search now.

But as the night goes deeper, alarm was ranged by the Roman guard sentry in Sinope City that can be heard from the location of Jun, their is an emergency situation. Jun quickly responded and found everyone started locking their doors and blocking their windows inside the City, the City also lockdown all its gates and entrances just after he got inside.

This simply means that the City is under attack!
