Chapter 13: Capture the Flag
"I had a good choice with you, Mr. Scavenger."
The officer put his sword on top of his shield, and the thick veins on his bare arm were like long cyan snakes, which made the already muscular arm even stronger, indicating that he was full of strength.
The sun slowly rises from the east, dispelling the chaos that looms on the ground in the early morning, it is worthy of the sun, the time control is just in place, probably I don't want to miss such a wonderful duel.
The Roman officer, dressed in a muscular cuirass made of brass, reflected a dazzling golden light in the sunlight, and the man was like a celestial man in the golden light. "Mars, the god of war?" It was my first instinct in my head, the golden armor with strong muscles, which is the mark of a real man. How could Andrew be willing to fall behind, the tall and strong body unique to the Germans was his advantage, plus the cleaned and rejuvenated chain mail flashed a little silver in the daylight, although it was not as dazzling as the officer's bronze armor, but before the broad shield and the blade intersected, the victory or defeat was not reflected in the armor that was said!
"Andrew, come on!"
I really sweated for him, watching them arch their bodies and stand their shields forward, looking like they were fighting, but I don't know when one of them slammed into the force and launched a fatal blow to the weakness exposed by the other party. But now no one on either side is doing this, because they are trying to find a weak point, after all, the opportunities are limited, and no one dares to make the first move.
"What's wrong, scavengers." The officer sneered and looked at Andrew, "I really don't know what skills you learned in the process of scavenging, and you dare to shout in front of me!" ”
"I'm here to re-enlist, not to fight!" Andrew explained to himself: "I really am a soldier of the 7th Gemina Regiment! ”
"You say it again?"
"I am! Soldiers of the 7th Gemina Legion! ”
"The Gemina Legion is finished!" The officer roared, like a mad beast, and leaped to his feet, swinging his sword in mid-air and slashing down, and Andrew could not help but raise his shield to block.
"Click!"
The sharp iron sword slammed into the shield, and in an instant, most of it was half-trapped, and the surrounding soldiers cheered. That's right, an ordinary iron sword cut into the thick shield, this large broad shield is made of thick wooden planks, can resist heavy javelins and bows and arrows piercing, in the face of the enemy's oncoming spears can effectively resist, or I did not expect that this slender iron sword can exert such great power in the hands of the officer.
"Drink!"
The officer roared, and with a sharp force he pulled out the iron sword that had been slashed into his shield. What an Andrew, if it were me, the force of pulling out the sword would be enough to tear the shield from my hand, but Andrew was not affected by this, his strong body and the military qualities accumulated over the years made him unusually calm in such a scene, and at the moment when the Roman officer pulled out the iron sword, half of his body was exposed Andrew, who seized the opportunity to burst out, raised his shield and slammed into the Roman officer's body!
"Damn it!"
The officer's center of gravity was unstable and he retreated again and again, and finally fell on his heels, this will be no soldiers to cheer, hum, now it will be my turn to cheer! I raised my hand and said, "Hit..."No, the next second I didn't have a good fight, not because I was too excited to shout my voice, but because I accidentally saw the dozens of archers on the wall opposite me rubbing the wooden bows in their hands, squinting at me. In my eyes, they are like a row of Guan Gong, as the saying goes, Guan Gong squinted so much, he wanted that. Well, I'm a little anxious to go out early in the morning, this daily water intake, I didn't keep up, so shouting is not very good for my throat, I cleared my throat, don't say anything, watch the duel.
In the process of the Roman officer falling to the ground, Andrew complied with the default rules of the duel, he did not choose to pounce directly and finish the Roman officer, but took a few steps back to maintain a relatively safe distance.
"Ha, I didn't expect it!"
The Roman officer stroked the armor on his chest, and he was still out of breath when he spoke, and it seemed that Andrew had hit him with pain, and he couldn't breathe for a while. Andrew didn't say anything, just re-prepared for battle, and looked at the Roman officer who was struggling to get up with a blank face.
"Okay, okay,"
The officer coughed dryly, finally gasped for breath, and then said: "I really didn't expect it, I think I must have misjudged you, scavenger with rich combat skills." ”
"Now, then, sir, you should be able to identify me!"
Andrew said, but his posture remained the same, still staring at the restless Roman officer alertly.
"No, you're just a peasant who doesn't know where you learned this bit of fighting skills, you can't be a warrior of the Gemina Legion!"
The Roman officer straightened up, stared at Andrew and said: "Litollo and his 7th Gemina Legion were besieged by several times the enemy, fought and retreated all the way, and finally perished, there can be no survivors at all, and some are just thieves who abandoned Litollo and fled for his life during the battle and did not forget to steal the flag!" As he spoke, the officer held out his hand again, this time to me, for I was carrying the banner of the Gemina Legion, "Come, give it to me, I swear, I will not hold you accountable for such a rude act this time, and I will give you a large sum of money." You can splurge for a long time! Come on, aren't you just in it for the money? ”
"Luga, don't give it to him!"
Andrew hurriedly shouted to me, and he was afraid that I would not be able to resist the temptation and do something stupid.
"Luga, well, good name, you look like an Italian, or a Roman. Will you be lucky enough to know your full name? "This officer will look but polite!
"Aurius. Luga. ”
I replied lightly.
"Oh, Aurius, this is really an old surname, really, very traditional, and quite a few of my soldiers have such a surname."
The Roman officer smiled and waved behind him as he spoke, and the soldier with the wolf's skin would trot over and hand it to the officer.
"Give!"
The officer took the wolf's skin with his iron sword in his right hand, and threw it at me without hesitation, and I hastened to catch it.
"Wow! This material! ”
Straightening this supple fur, really do not add any impurities, primitive backwardness is also beneficial, you see, this fur is real, to be placed in the era of my lifetime, that really made me rich! Excited, I put the wolf skin cloak on my body.
"Luga! You ......"
"Well, since you've received all my gifts." The Roman officer quickly interrupted Andrew's words, stretched out his hand to me, and said, "Then all of them are decent Romans, give me the banner of the Gemina Legion!" ”
"Oh, thank you for the fur."
I was about to take a step, but when I thought about it, he did give me this wolfskin cloak, but he didn't say anything about it!
"You said you gave this to me!" I patted the cloak on my shoulder, and continued helplessly: "But you didn't say that you would exchange this for a flag with me?" ”
