It's late autumn again, and now the temperature is getting colder, but fortunately, God blesses it, it's a peaceful year, so that the crops can have a good harvest.

It's just that the good harvest didn't make Luga feel a little happy, on the contrary, the current situation made him anxious. This is three days before his southern tour, but at the moment there is no food supply.

On this day, he looked at the long parchment full of bills, but most of them had not been implemented, and he kept complaining to the quartermaster below: "We have spent so many words that we can't even say that a single nobleman can't say anything, are they all deliberately not giving us food?" ”

Because in this era, the aristocracy was rich and fertile land, and the poor had no place to stand. Under a good harvest, the nobles make a lot of money, but if they want to get military rations, they must be approved. However, after that experience, the nobles did not seem to be willing to provide food to the army.

The quartermaster saw the soldier's anger for the first time, and he replied tremblingly: "The nobles seem to be dissatisfied with the failure of His Excellency Andrés to deal with the family casualties caused by the failure of Andrés to deal with them in a timely manner, because of Andrés's inaction, the nobles claim that they have the right not to provide rations to the army, which is given to them by Roman law, and they have the right to do so." Unless, unless! ”

"Tell me, what conditions do they want?" Luga asked.

The quartermaster was still a little worried, but he said in a hesitant voice: "The nobles think that if the price is doubled, they will be able to accept it happily!" ”

The quartermaster said this, but the atmosphere inside the camp was instantly quiet. Everyone was looking at Luga, as if waiting for Luja to be furious, after all, these nobles were so disobedient, they were blatantly blackmailing and challenging Luga's authority.

Just when everyone was ready to watch Luga break everything in front of him in a rage, what was waiting for was Luga's long sigh. Yes, no one understood why Luga was like this, he didn't get angry or held back the anger in his heart.

Luga kept clutching the scepter in his hand and rubbing the gem on it, and said, "They just see that we have no other way now, what sinister fellows. Well, how much do they want. ”

"Two thousand pounds of gold." The quartermaster said, "Two thousand pounds of gold, and they will give us enough food." ”

"Damn it!" Andrew scolded: "They really deserve to die at the hands of the barbarians, and we also paid them a pension!" And they still do! Luga, or I'll tear down their houses one by one with the army! Bring all the food out, and if they dare to resist, kill these bastards! ”

"Don't, Andrew!" Luga waved his hand at Andrew and said: "If you do this, we are not bandits yet, and if we sue us for what we have done, Aetius will charge us with treason and declare that my position as a soldier commander is invalid, and then raise an army against me, then I will not gain more than I gain." ”

"But it's very strange in this regard, Luga!" John. Anthony said: "Originally, when the question of food was discussed, the nobles were very willing, but when it was near, they were not willing, and they did not know why. ”

Andrew said, "Luga, we don't have so much money in our hands, a thousand pounds of gold can feed our current army for a whole year, we can't just bow our heads so casually!" ”

"I know! I know! Lu Jia couldn't help nodding, frowned, thought hard for a long time, and then said: "Then there must be some reason for the nobles' change of fortune, Antiochus, didn't you investigate?" ”

"I asked them!" John. Antiochus said: "But they just shook their heads and said nothing, anyway, they were determined to divide two thousand pounds of gold among themselves, or they would not give them food if they could not see the money." ”

"Are they all gold when we pull out? Two thousand pounds, how can they say it so easily! Andrew stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, his face flushed, his hands clutched the iron sword at his waist, and he seemed to be at once tempted to rush to the mansion of the nobles and kill them completely.

"Andrew! Stabilization! Luga waved his hand again to signal Andrew to sit down, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Even if we take out these two thousand pounds of gold, they will still change their mind and propose a higher price, no, there must be someone in the way, otherwise we really can't get the grain from the nobles." ”

Everyone asked, "Is there any good way to do it, the Soldier Chief?" ”

"How?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Jia's mouth, and he said in a low voice: "Although there are all kinds of signs that they are forced to be helpless now, but after all, they are unkind first, so no wonder I am not righteous!" ”

With that, he carefully placed the scepter on the table with both hands, and then beckoned to Malenius and John. Antioch said: "You two will go to the academy in Tarraco now, and tell the students and teachers that we are willing to invite the students and teachers of the academy to our barracks to see the army and soldiers' equipment for the purpose of cultivating interest, and I will even be happy to teach them about my glorious history in Ludug Gaul and Britannia!" ”

After Luga finished speaking, everyone immediately understood the meaning, only to hear a loud evil laugh from the camp, which provoked the soldiers passing by to turn back frequently to know what was happening.

Since it was a lecture, it was necessary to show an appearance, and Luga ordered the Fourth Auxiliary Legion under Marenius to assemble in the camp in full armor, because this legion of battles was a witness to Luga's great exploits, and there was nothing more convincing. Then Lugar placed the Dragon's Breath Sword on the table with his waist and stood up, it was his trophy.

"Well, what the hell do you mean?" Luga began to think hard, after all, Kevin. Sein didn't die in his hands, he just took the Dragon's Breath Sword for himself. But he couldn't tell the truth like this, so he decided to use his imagination and make up a magnificent history, so that these boys who don't know anything can open their eyes!

"Giggles! In this way, your precious sons are listening to the story in my hands, and I see that you are not panicking! Luga stared at the Dragon's Breath Sword on the table, a sinister smile on his face.

At noon, I heard a large number of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels outside the camp gate, and then I heard the soldiers on guard shouting loudly: "Open the city gate, the observation team is coming!" ”

"Yo! Pig! Pulled! Luga hurriedly got up from the stool, rubbed his hands together, and paced back and forth excitedly, not knowing what to do.
