"They left." Luga replied to Malenius with a smile. It can be seen here that he did not intend to make Malenius feel a little reassured with lies from the beginning. "They went back, they went back, back to their hometowns, and with the wealth they couldn't hold, everyone could use what they had to live the life they wanted until they died."

Looking at Malenius's face blue and red, what he was thinking in his heart at this time, Luga could also guess seven or eight.

That's fine, at least there's no need to deceive, and honesty hurts, but it's better than the vicious look in their eyes after they've been deceived for a long time to let them know the truth.

"So what do you think, learning from your former friends? Betraying the Eagle Banner, or rather betraying the glory of one's own soldiers, and returning with untold riches? Luga couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and then said to Malenius: "Leaving represents betrayal, and you know that if I don't say this, it doesn't mean that someone won't do it." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Marenius asked.

"What do you mean?" Luga smiled, his smile was extremely cold, he took a glass of wine, handed it to Malenius, and said to him, "The Eastern Empire will not let them go, because they have betrayed me. ”

"And what will happen to them?" Malenius gritted his teeth and asked Lugar.

"I don't know." In the face of Malenius' glare, Luga seemed to be so casual as he didn't care. I only heard Luga say unhurriedly: "Anyway, if they leave me, they will no longer be able to be sheltered, at this time the leader of the Huns, Attila, and his brother Bulus are threatening the Eastern Empire, do you think that so many soldiers have passed under their noses, whether it is the Roman side or the Hun side, they will not let them go!" ”

These words really frightened Malenius, from words to expressions, Luga did everything in place, it was simply vivid. Now Malenius can be regarded as having a difficulty in his heart, saying that he believes in Luga, then he will follow Luga to attack Britannia, there will be casualties in battle, this is inevitable, if you don't believe that Luga chooses to leave, not to mention whether Luga agrees or not, even if he goes back, if he really tells Luga that he wants to go to the front line to resist the Huns, it is better to go directly to hell.

"The gold that Attila asked Augustus for was already stretched thin for my father, and as far as I know, the Eastern Empire had deployed most of its troops on the front line against the Huns. If you succeed, you may be able to make a contribution, but if you fail, I am afraid that you will not even have a pension for your family. Of course, there were the capital guards, who were the elite of the empire, the guarantee of victory. But are you sure they'll come to your aid? ”

Marlenius had heard of the brutality of the Huns, but what was the court's attitude towards this imminent war was the most important thing. Luga could tell from the wandering eyes of Malenius that he was hesitant and fighting inwardly. He was overjoyed in his heart, but he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, waved his hand and said helplessly: "Go and be cannon fodder to fight the Huns, or be the main force and follow me to make contributions, you choose for yourself." ”

After a long silence, Malenius stopped talking, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned and walked out of Luga's tent. Looking at his back, Luga didn't open his mouth to stop him, he didn't know what was going on in Malenius' head.

"Luga, this ......" When Malenius went out, Berialius, who had been absent for a long time, came in immediately, and when he saw Malenius's solemn expression, he thought that there was some unpleasantness between them, so he walked in and asked Luga what was going on?

"Long time no see, Berialiu."

Luga did not answer his question directly, but stood up to welcome Berialiu, and asked Berialiu: "How is it, Berialiu, I haven't seen you for this time, are you okay?" ”

"Oh, don't mention it!" Berialius said loudly, pointing to the sunburn on his face at Luga, and complained, "If I hadn't bathed with sea salt all the time, I might have really called the black people of North Africa brothers!" Oh, by the way, Augustus Valentinian has supported us with fifty ships, all of them freshly built, and I don't know if it's going to be smooth or not. ”

"Well, that's not what I'm going to think about, my friend." Luga waved his hand at Berialieu and continued, "Now the question is where we should land. ”

"In the delta where the Thames joins the sea, so that you can attack Lendinlum by the Thames first, take a city first, and then make other plans."

"However, our current situation is that we can only guarantee the landing of a part of the army, after all, the current situation is limited, and we cannot make all warships become troop carriers, in case of attack, the consequences are unimaginable." Luga said worriedly.

"That's not a problem, Luga." Berialiu waved his hand at Luga and said confidently: "Before the two of us met, I had already gathered a lot of ships from the nobles that could sail far away, and they could basically guarantee the transportation of a legion, how about it?" ”

"Really?" Luga looked at Berialius with wide eyes, and continued, "I am really impressed with you, and since you left your father, I have found that you have become more and more indispensable in the army. ”

Throughout the day, the soldiers loaded all the military rations and other supplies onto the warship, and it was autumn and it was also the day that Luga had planned. Because the provinces of Great Sequanoren and Ludug Gaul could not provide food at all due to the war, Luga could only attack with food that could only sustain the army for a month, and chose the autumn to plunder the grain during the harvest season, and then use the grain of the province of Lower Britannia to maintain the army, and then gradually push the country to Hadrian's Wall.

On the second day, the army began to board the ships, which lasted for a whole morning, and the 5,000 men of the 4th Auxiliary Regiment slowly sailed out of the harbor of Agrippena on their ships and sailed down the Rhine towards the island of Britain.

Along the way, Luga saw the Franks on the other side of the Rhine, specifically the Frankish soldiers, and the civilians who had come to see the bustle, standing scattered by the river, and because they were allied, they didn't even carry weapons to defend themselves. Just watched Luga's fleet pass slowly, far away.

"God knows how long Stilicko's covenant will last?" Luga looked at the Franks on the shore and said in his heart. He didn't know what the Franks were thinking, but the thirty-year-old covenant was shaky, and Luga was now desperate to know what they thought.
