Chapter 119: Old Friends
The cheers all around him ceased, and the whole world seemed to be dead on the battlefield, except for the long wails of the dying and the silent running of the Rhine.
The temperature in the air does not rise but falls, and even when you take a breath, white smoke appears, and the Burgundians are getting closer and closer, they are like hungry wolves, and the killing makes their eyes a little green. One by one, their mouths grinned, revealing their white teeth. The fighting and killing had almost made them lose their original sanity, and they surrounded us by the river in groups of three or five, and if it weren't for the chill coming out of their mouths, I wouldn't even believe that this blood-stained creature was a living person.
"Array! Array! ”
I raised my cavalry sword in my hand and danced back and forth in mid-air, the soldiers closing in on me and Andrew.
"Defend against the tortoiseshell formation! Defend against the tortoiseshell formation! ”
Andrew reminded me over and over again that they were battle-hardened and able to hold steady in the face of the encirclement, and that the soldiers were in a row with us, and the soldiers in the rear gathered closely together with us and held the broad, oval-shaped shield above our heads, so that they could withstand the hidden weapons that the Burgundians could throw at any moment.
"Steady! Steady, we'll be able to get out! ”
Andrew was still reassuring the soldiers over and over again, and no one knew why they had retreated so hastily and left us behind.
The wind was blowing, and the cold wind blowing from the river could not help but make me shiver, and I realized that winter had just passed at this time, but the cold was not completely gone. The hundred people held each other tightly, and the heat of hugging each other was not unbearable. Before I knew it, the shield in my hand was slightly loose because of the sore hand.
"Boom!"
I only felt the shield in my hand sink as if it had been hit by something hard, and I quickly regained my posture and looked out through the gap in the shield.
"Dare to relax at this time, Aurius. Luga. ”
Who, who's talking about this? That voice came from outside the tortoiseshell array, I can't believe that there are still people among the Burgundians who can call my name, and that voice, why is it so familiar, isn't it!
My heart tightened, and I looked forward, and saw a man slowly emerging from the dense crowd of Burgundians, fully armed, wearing golden scale armor, which was the only equipment found in the Roman army, and weighing a blood-stained stone in his hand, but with animal fur not on his shoulders as the officers liked to use. He walked slowly towards me, but I couldn't see him above his chest because of the obstruction of his vision.
It's not so much that I can't see, but I don't dare to look at it, this walking posture is familiar to me, and this voice is even more familiar to me.
"Guy!"
Needless to say, Andrew next to me also exclaimed, "Isn't he dead?" ”
"It's not just that you're not dead."
I shrank behind my shield, for fear that this guy would hit me with the stone in his hand again, I still learned his technique, and I didn't want to be innocently injured.
"Guy?"
I decided that running away was not the way to go, so I plucked up the courage to ask out loud.
"Huh!" The man sneered: "I didn't expect to meet my old boss, you will still be suspicious, but fortunately, you can still remember me." ”
"Aren't you dead?" I felt more and more that things were not as simple as I had imagined, first of all, the chief centurion Guy was not dead, so I had a chance to convince him, and then rush out with him and make it clear to Anthony, what if I got Anthony's understanding?
"Sir!" I tried to relax my tone, but I didn't dare to disband the tortoiseshell formation easily, since Guy was on the side of the Burgundians, who knew what he would do next? But I decided to persuade him that I would give it a try, whether it was successful or not!
"Come back with me, Anthony is crazy for you! If he knew you were here now, he would be very happy, and we would be able to go back to the old days, and you were our chief centurion......"
"Boom!"
At the mention of the word chief centurion, a flying stone fell on my shield again, and I shut my mouth.
"Shut up, damn it!"
Guy yelled at me, probably angry when he saw me, and even more so at my words.
I didn't speak, just then, but not Guy, who was furious, paced back and forth over the pile of corpses not far away, and cursed in his mouth not knowing what he was talking about.
"It's all because of you, you damn bastards!" Guy pointed at us and yelled, "Oh God, why don't you die!" Is it God punishing me for keeping you alive? ”
I don't know why he lost his temper so much, I looked at Andrew, and he looked at me, and we both shook our heads at each other, indicating that we didn't know anything about Guy's situation at this point.
"Traitor! Traitor! You have betrayed me! ”
Guy was still unrelenting, and the Burgundian behind him looked at him in front of them with a thunderous look at each other, and I am afraid that no one in this grumpy fellow could restrain him.
"You cowards! Escaping from battle is a capital offense, so why are you still standing here! Oh, Luga, it must be you, you heretic, you must have spelled, right, you must have bewitched everyone! Ha, haha. ”
Guy was completely crazy, he pointed at me and laughed, it was hard for him, it seems that he has changed a lot in just three days, well, more and more crazy.
"But, you can't fool Anthony after all!"
After the unbridled laughter, Guy finally quieted down, he said this sentence extremely calmly, and the crazy insulting Guy just now must be one in the sky and one in the ground.
I slowly stood up and walked out of the formation despite Andrew's obstruction, confronting him. He squinted at me, smiled weirdly, and said, "I still didn't misunderstand you, I thought you were just a clown who would only hide behind others." ”
"That's better than you compromise!"
In the face of Guy's sarcasm, I did not hesitate to refute it, just in case, my hands did not slack from beginning to end, because the contradiction between them was too deep, and I was afraid that at some point this madman in front of me would yell and pounce.
"Heh, yes, after all, I was at fault first."
Guy nodded slightly, his words were even more subtle at this time, and the change was so rapid that I almost mistakenly thought that the madman just now was an illusion in my eyes.
"Then, sir, come back with me."
I looked at his face and waited quietly for his reply, this was indeed a big gamble, after all, everyone has many things to consider, and Guy is no exception, the dignified chief centurion was found in the enemy's army, even if he returned, I am afraid that Anthony would not be able to save him.
"Go back? Do you mean to let Anthony kill me with his own hands? ”
Guy's words really surprised me, Anthony, they are obviously on the same front, because Guy Anthony is still going to kill me. But why, Guy would make such an assessment of Anthony at this time.
"How is that possible!"
I rejected him and said, "Anthony almost killed me in order to find your whereabouts." ”
"Ha, that's just a cover-up!" Guy smiled evilly, pulled out the iron sword at his waist, raised it and looked it up and down, and said: "He is afraid that you know anything about my whereabouts, this cunning fox can hide it from you, but he can't hide it from me!" ”
