At the end of the day, Arecio still wouldn't trust the two of us, or he never chose to trust the two of us for even a second, he only saw us as a tool to accomplish his plan.

If you want to ask me why I say that, look at the two of us dressed in tattered clothes, and wearing deliberately old and rusty chain mail, plus an equally rusty centurion horned helmet. Deliberately decorate us with the feeling of going through vicissitudes, but also, although we usually pay attention to cleaning our bodies, so that we can't see anything on the surface, but the heart has gone through vicissitudes, just like the armor on the body. A worn-out shield and a sharpened iron sword, according to Arecio, are meant to match the following rhetoric, to increase his credibility and convince Valentinian, who is already like a frightened bird. I don't know how much he prepared for this, and even the banner that was destroyed in the battle was found and let me keep it. I don't know how much he desperates for this thing to succeed, but he really has some, crazy about it.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed the two of us to tell Caesar that Caesar had been instructed by Arecio when the time came to rescue Caesar from the forest, so that Arecio could be freed from the premise of disappearing and reappear in the public eye. And he promised us that if we succeeded according to his wishes, then we would enjoy endless glory and wealth, and we would no longer have to suffer and be tired! This condition is tempting, but it is also dangerous.

Our mission is to find Caesar Valentinian III's legion in the endless Black Forest and bring him out. Before that, Arecio asked Andrew and Andrew to memorize the map of the area, from the woods and rivers to the jungle path, and I could roughly tell the difference, because there were not many hidden roads, only this one, so I only needed to take the Valentinian legion out of that path.

"I wonder how much benefit we're going to have this time?" Andrew walked and looked behind him, and after thinking he was sure that no one would follow him again, he complained, "Didn't that damn beautiful man use us as gunmen?" ”

"You're right, Andrew!" I shook my head with a wry smile and said: "Arecio is obviously using the two of us as cannon fodder, and I'm afraid that he will kick the two of us away after it's done, and what if there is nothing to do with the two of us!" ”

"Well, I don't think so!" Andrew shook his head firmly, "Arecio once said that he is different from Aetius, and that he is better than Antony, who killed a thousand knives. I don't think I'm going to do anything to kill the hero, and besides, he really took care of me during that time. ”

Andrew still hasn't changed, so obsessed, so stubborn that it's black and white, I really want to say if he has forgotten how he felt when he heard Levi's words after defending Aetius? Anyway, there are really not many friends with such a tendon, he is obsessed, anyway, I am eating a cushion and growing wise, I will never eat such a loss!

"Stop!"

Alas,! This cold sound scared me so much that I almost jumped on the spot, and I was so scared that I was in a cold sweat and my heart was pounding. Andrew stayed where he was, and when he looked up, he saw a head poking out of the bushes, a man with a leather helmet, hiding behind the bushes, and the eyes under the helmet were staring at us. "Where did you come from, the barbarian of the wilderness, the acquaintance quickly retreated, don't die here in ignorance!"

"Hey, drink!" A small scout, not only dare to block my way, but a mouth is a terrifying saying, open and close his mouth is a barbarian, and the ghost knows which wave he belongs to. I made no reply, but pressed my hand firmly on the hilt of the sword, and walked slowly, little by little, to the head that poked out of the bushes, so that in the shortest distance I could slam the sword, and not slaughter the white-faced creature who spoke wildly, or else it would be difficult to relieve the indignation in my heart.

"Forget it, forget it!"

But at this moment, Andrew grabbed me suddenly, waved his hand at the poked out head, and did not forget to apologize to them in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, sorry! We're a little rude, we're going to go, let's go! ”

"What! Andrew, you're crazy! I yelled at Andrew, who was behind me, "This kid really needs some lessons, whether he's a Bagordaite or a Roman, this rule still has to be followed!" If you don't clean him up this time, don't let him have a long memory, and there will be no chance in the future! ”

"Look around, Luga, don't be reckless, run!"

Andrew's reminder made me raise my head and look around, hey, don't lie to me, I don't know when the surroundings were so lively, more than a dozen soldiers in leather armor and leather helmets stretched their bows and arrows at the two of us, and all of them drew their bows in a circle, forming a circle and slowly approaching us.

"Damn, it looks like I really fell into the wolf's den!" I closed my mouth instantly, didn't dare to speak, and stood in place, watching the dozen or so scouts slowly approach.

"You ......"

The one at the head rose from the grass, and he walked up to me unhurriedly, staring at me up and down. I'm sure they must have been fooled by the makeup we were wearing.

"Which part of you are from?"

I'm afraid that I killed a good person by mistake, after all, in such a besieged place, all strangers from outside are not to be trusted!

"We ......"

"Boom!"

Before I could open my mouth to say the lines I had prepared, I felt my head be slammed, and then I fell to the ground, and then I lost consciousness and didn't know anything.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that I had been stripped naked and tied to a tree, a camp hidden in the middle of the forest, with tall trees that sheltered the sky from the sun, and the shrubs beneath it could hide the horses, not to mention the people. Because they fled in a hurry, they were not well equipped, they didn't even have tents, and almost all of them rested against trees, and pessimism and wavering were written all over everyone's faces. It was surrounded by patrolling soldiers, more often making makeshift weapons and equipment out of felled wood for supplies. Andrew was tied to a tree three meters away from me, but he didn't seem to have woken up yet.

"Hey, soldier!"

I shouted at the soldiers who were patrolling back and forth, "Call your commanders out of here, I have very important news to report to them!" ”

At this moment, the soldiers who had walked in front of me stopped, and they all looked at me with curiosity in their eyes, and even more privately exchanged ears after hearing what I had said.

"Hurry up!" I looked anxious, mainly because I felt like I was about to lose half of the words I had memorized, so I had to get them to act now to call Valentinian out for me to confront him. "I tell you, I know you are surrounded, but I know the way out. Laugh? Hmph, you can laugh hard, and I'll see if you'll be able to laugh when the army of Bagunda comes in! Hey, what are you doing standing stupidly? Will you be able to get out then? ”

It seems to have been intimidated by my intimidation, but it is not a trivial matter. The soldiers were stunned and at a loss for a moment, and one of them ran out, and within five or six minutes he heard the sound of noisy footsteps.

"Stand up!"

The soldiers stopped what they were doing and all stood up.

I saw a group of well-equipped and splendid guards come out in front of me, they are tall, wearing helmets inlaid with red vertical horses, wearing golden scale armor, and wearing red cloaks on their shoulders. There were more than ten people in the first place, they stood in two rows left and right, and after a while, a person appeared in the middle of the two rows, he was very young, in his early twenties, maybe not yet, wearing a golden crown, wearing a robe that only the royal family is qualified to wear, the scales and armor inside loomed, he walked briskly, let me see his face clearly, head high, trying to maintain his majesty, but the tiredness of his face could not be hidden. He walked up to me and stared at me with red-eyed eyes, which were more like scrutiny.

"I heard you were looking for me, stranger!" The young man's lips opened slightly, and the childish voice reached my ears.
