Chapter 107: Arguments

"Lord Aetius." Father Garba sat up straight in his seat and leaned forward slightly, showing that he had an indispensable say in this matter, he stared at Aetius intently, spread his palms, and said slowly: "Dear Lord Aetius, although I am not a soldier, but for your chief centurion Guy, yes, Lord Aetius, he is a faithful believer, and has been appreciated by the Pope, but now it is not known whether he is alive or dead, and I have come here for this poor child. ”

"Father Garba, I can understand your feelings, after all, Guy is not only a faithful member of the Church, but also a member of the Senate Reserve." Aetius had his back to me, and I couldn't see his expression, so he must have been smiling. It turned out that Chief Centurion Guy was a very mysterious existence to me, but after Aetius shook it like this, it turned out to be a member of the Senate Reserve who had come to the barracks to take credit.

"As anxious as His Excellency Anthony, replace Luga with me, and I refuse to answer, so I plead!" Aetius said and looked at Father Garba intently, not knowing how great the power of this priest was?

Father Garba nodded slightly, acquiescing to Aetius' request.

Antony, the deputy commander of the regiment, did not say a word, and then turned back to his position, obviously he was still self-aware, knowing that he did not have enough strength to confront Aetius, let alone confront him, because by doing so, he not only offended Aetius, but also did not give face to Father Galba. He sat down, raising his hand to cover his mouth, as if listening carefully, as the five older knights stood behind him. Presumably, he now gave up the initiative of his words to Aetius, just to better seize the opportunity to refute.

"So, Luga!"

Aetius turned his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where were you in the city of Worms at that time?" ”

"The 300th team."

I told the truth: "Chief Centurion Guy is in the first hundredth to lead the way, followed by Aurius. Andrew, and then me. ”

"Well, that's good!"

Aetius nodded, and then asked, "Then how did the Germanic people hired by the Burgundians attack you?" ”

"Can you give me another glass of water?" This glass of water is obviously not enough, I pursed my lips and asked cheekily.

Thinking that this would cause Aetius to displeasure, who knew that he just nodded and agreed happily, waving behind him, and the captain of the guard, Levi, quickly stepped forward to get a glass of water.

As he had just done, Aetius fed me himself, and as soon as I drank the water from that cup, I felt refreshed. At the same time, the slightly cloudy thoughts became clear.

"Say it."

Aetius's words were still not sad or joyful, and he was cold and emotionless, and he put the empty glass back on the silver plate in Levi's hand. He continued to look at me, staring straight into my eyes without blinking, which made me feel uncomfortable.

"First of all, we are advancing on the streets towards the center of the city of Worms, because of your orders the marshal, we are the first to take the Eagle Banner of Worms, so we have come down the wall, and the chief centurion Guy does not intend for us to assist the Eighth Legion who is storming the wall......"

"Wait!"

As I spoke, Aetius stretched out his hand to interrupt me, saying, "You mean, you advanced into Worms on the orders of Chief Centurion Guy?" ”

"Yes!"

"If you follow Aurius. What Luga said. Aetius looked back and analyzed: "It was Guy who chose to go alone, so as the commander at that time, he should shoulder all the responsibility." With that, he turned around and motioned for me to continue.

"But the streets are lined with abandoned houses......"

At this point, I was once again interrupted by Aetius, who asked, "Why don't you search those houses?" ”

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know, but replied, "Guy didn't give such an order, I think, just I think, I think that the Burgundians who defended the broken wall have done their best, so we are a sneak attack, and there is no way that we will encounter an ambush." ”

"So, didn't you find any signs?"

"Yes!" I immediately thought of the soldier.

"A soldier, a soldier in my hundreds. He found a lost Germanic helmet! "I collected my thoughts, and I found that Aetius was able to save me from death, and I was caught, and they treated me like this, so Andrew and the other soldiers who rescued me must not be much better. It's not a big deal that I'm dead, it's just that there is a great probability that those people will be dragged to the funeral, which I don't want to see, and I can count all my bets on Aetius, hoping that Aetius will be bent on opposing Antony.

"The leather helmet was lukewarm, and it was found in the open space in the middle of an abandoned house. I was suspicious, so I had the soldier who had found the helmet warn Chief Centurion Guy! ”

"So, what about the soldier?"

I shook my head and said slowly, "The Germans have been watching us from the shadows, and the soldier was cut down by an axe just a few steps away from him and died!" ”

"And your wounds?" Aetius really asked people questions, and he didn't want to say a word. Silence was not spoken from everyone present, even Anthony, who, along with everyone, listened quietly to my next answer.

I continued: "I was stunned to see the axe on the soldier's back, and I didn't know what to do, until the Germanic people on all sides pounced on the abandoned house, and I received an axe in the chest. It's just that the axe is not very powerful, otherwise I would have died a long time ago! ”

"So!" Aetius bowed his head in contemplation and said to me slowly, "You found out about all this beforehand, but the Germans who were spying on you also found out what you were doing, so they attacked in advance!" ”

"Let's just put it that way." I nodded in agreement. "But the chief centurion Guy in front is in a team of centurions that is too deep."

"So, you were carried out of the battlefield by your friends." Aetius crossed his hands on his hips, and the expression on his face soothed slightly, as if he already knew the answer.

"Your Excellency! I think he's lying! Before anyone else could move, Anthony, who had long been unable to sit still, jumped up from his chair and said loudly: "This is a complete set of disconnected excuses, so I think this set of arguments is completely untrustworthy!" ”

"But I believe it!" Aetius turned around, his voice rising a full octave in decibels, and he struck Antony back.

"Guy has always been a guy who can't hold his breath, so what he does is based on Aurius. Luga's narrative is perfectly aligned! "It is worthy of Aetius, he saw everything so clearly, I couldn't help but feel a pang of joy in my heart, and I was full of confidence that I could survive!
