Chapter 412: Military Alliance (Part II)
"Oh, Lord Luga, your battle really scares me, why don't you give me a word of notice, I think wine and bread are much better than this!" In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Aetius defended himself from time to time along the way, and now he thought that he could embarrass Luga with an army of five hundred people, but he didn't expect so many people to appear out of thin air in Luga's barracks. As the commander of the Italian Central Field Army, he was naturally well aware of the movements of the central provinces and regional armies, but unfortunately, Aetius himself could not tell where this army came from. The Senate also humiliated Luga, he shouldn't have so many troops, because he has no money, this may really be God's gift to Luga.
Walking into the central tent, Luga sat down Aetius, poured him a glass of wine, and then asked him, "How is it, Lord Aetius, have you thought about it?" ”
"Think?" Aetius hesitated for a moment, and he came back to his senses in an instant, for he understood what Luga meant, and saw him nod again and again, saying, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I thought it through! ”
"But Your Excellency!" Lu Jia said with a serious expression: "You haven't given me an accurate answer yet!" ”
When he asked this, the smile on Aetius's face condensed, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Luga, and he Luga was not a fool, so he couldn't just fight him like this haha.
"Your Excellency, you know, in this way, this is indeed a very serious matter." Aetius was a little stunned.
"But I gave your Excellency two weeks to think." Luga said, pointing to the outside of the camp, and said to Aetius: "You must have brought so many people today to participate in our alliance ceremony, otherwise who do you want to show such a big battle?" ”
As Luga approached, Aetius realized that his guards were being kept out.
"I don't mean anything else, it's just that it's not safe here lately, and you know, your Excellency, how rampant bandits are around here!" Aetius didn't dare to look at Luga at all, it was only because of his negligence that the current home stadium became Luga's, he didn't know what Luga would do to him, he only knew that if Luga's temper was slightly disagreeable now, Luga would definitely make him very uncomfortable.
"Brush!"
What Aetius never expected was that at this critical moment, Luga pulled out an iron sword out of nowhere, Luga didn't say half a nonsense, only to see him put the sword directly on Aetius's neck, which caught Aetius off guard.
"Oh, calm down, calm down, Lord Lugar." Aetius was a battle-hardened soldier anyway, and the expression on his face didn't show much panic as he spread out his hands and comforted Luga with words. He also knew that such a situation was not to be panicked.
Luga rested his sword around his neck, and he glared at Aetius with a fierce look on his face, as if he could not solve the problem of the moment without killing Aetius.
"I can tell, Lord Aetius." Luga said viciously, the voice seemed to come out of his teeth, "You don't really want to come to form an alliance with me, I can tell from the time you say you give you two weeks to believe in my strength." You don't believe me, okay, I'll prove it to you, but now you want to shirk it, I'm afraid you can't stand up without your own guard, right? ”
"I don't know what you're going to say, Lord Luga, but I still hope that your Excellency will lay down your arms, and we'll have to sit down and have a good talk." Aetius's face flushed, and it seemed that Luga had used a lot of strength to make him a little uncomfortable.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord Aetius." Luga said, hurriedly letting Aetius go. This time Aetius coughed repeatedly, and it seemed that Luga's "enthusiasm" was indeed a little unbearable for him. ”
"You should understand what I mean by now, Lord Aetius." Luga was now different from Luga, who had just been warmly welcomed, and now he said this with a cold face and no expression, and slowly walked to a stool, sat down, and stood in front of him with his sword as a support. He nodded at Aetius and said, "No need to be formal, Lord Aetius, the stool is behind you, sit down!" ”
Aetius didn't know what Luga was thinking, but he had no choice but to find a stool and sit down with trepidation. Looking at Luga again, Lujia's eyes were already staring at him, which made him very uncomfortable, after all, after such a long time, there was really no such person who dared to stare at him with such eyes, Lujia was the first.
"As I once said, you and I formed a military alliance, mainly to deal with the threat of Augusta Plasettia, I think you also know that she would like to have only one between us, but I now throw an olive branch to you, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, we can avoid war, if you don't agree, then I will now end your funny life." Luga said to Aetius unhurriedly, but it could be heard from Luga's tone, and his words were full of gunpowder, those who go along prosper, and those who go against them die!
"Your Excellency Luga, this is a very tempting condition after all." Aetius began to speak again, only to hear him ask, "But I don't know what you want, Lord Luga?" Or maybe we've formed an alliance, what can you get out of it, and besides, what do you want me to do? ”
"Our alliance is very simple." Luga tapped lightly on the iron sword in his hand, making a "clanging" sound from time to time. "I beg you to keep an eye on the Goths in the province of Ludug Gaul and in the Gauls of Nar, for he has threatened me. Of course, I know that you have a contract with the Gothic king Theodoric, but the contract is only a blank slate. I need your Excellency to act on all fronts, after all, Gaul is not safe. ”
Aetius didn't speak, he remained silent, it seemed that although he was threatened by Luga's life, but for Luga's call, he was naturally reluctant, because if he agreed, wouldn't he have decided that he would be a head lower than Luga, such a humiliation was unacceptable to Aetius, who had been fortunate enough to struggle so far. He gritted his teeth, his hands tugging at his precious robe, he was patient, Luga was challenging his patience.
"I can see you're not getting along with you, Lord Aetius." Luga sneered and stared at Aetius and said, "Why, with my alliance, you are not satisfied." ”
"Hehe, how come?" In response to Luga's sneer, Aetius also responded with a sneer, he slowly stood up, stared at Luga, and said fiercely: "I'm very much looking forward to what the alliance between the two of us can bring me, Flavis. Luga! ”
