"Don't be shocked, that's just Basellus's own business." Luga stretched out his hand to signal the nobles present to be quiet, but the relaxation did not last long, only to hear Luga continue: "But think about it, if Baseleus can't afford to pay back the six thousand pounds of gold, then Attila may stop attacking for the sake of the six thousand pounds of gold?" ”

The nobles present were silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but as if they were waiting for Luga to see what he wanted to say.

"So I need your help to rebuild a strong army, or I can't guarantee that Attila will come to the city when."

Instead of being affirmed by them, Luga's words of wanting to help the nobles present made them look at each other and smile, their expressions more disdainful and disbelieving.

"So, what do you want us to do, Lord Luga?" One of the nobles stood up, and he said in a slur manner.

"I hope you can help, after all, the army needs supplies, the soldiers need salaries, and we need a lot more. All of you here are Romans, and I think you know what I mean. ”

"We all know what Your Excellency means." The nobleman at the head couldn't help but nod in the face of Luga, but the look of doubt on his face could already make Luga see that he still had something to say, so he continued: "But as Your Excellency knows, the province of Africa was borrowed by the Vandals, which had a great impact on the commerce of Athens, especially this time the invasion of the Hun Attila made our merchant ships have nowhere to go, and can only wait in the port for the goods to rot, now there are too many robbers in Asia, and pirates are rampant, We really don't have any extra money to support you. ”

While the fellow was pleading, the others clearly saw that Luga's face had become gloomy, and they understood that Basellus's adopted son was already unhappy. If you continue to plead like this, it will inevitably cause more bad effects, so I simply nodded and admitted, since the officer proposed it, it is better to nod and admit it.

"Okay, okay!" Another nobleman stood up, he looked very serious, "Since His Excellency Luga has already spoken, then it can be seen that he wants to fight against the Huns, so as Romans, we must also show our patriotism." So, let's contribute, for God's sake. ”

It's very reluctant, and in the end it's all Lu Jia's, and the pitiful appearance of one or two Chu Chu has already made Lu Jia's belly angry, and now it seems that they have paid for it, no matter how you say it, it's not good to have a seizure. Lu Jia secretly enlightened himself in his heart, saying that although it is really hateful for these fuckers to cry poor with me here, they really want to pay for it, so bear with it and see what they can come up with.

The nobles nodded yes one after another, and then they saw that they had some of them and some of them were carrying Sulledus, as well as Dinaris, and even copper coins in them.

In this way, all the money of the hundred families was taken, and a small pile of money between Suledus and the copper coins of Dinaris and Fuli was placed in front of Luga.

"I'm sorry, Lord Luga, we, we only brought so much, and we can only take so much."

Lu Jia looked at the pile of coins in front of him, and then looked at the mountains of gifts not far away, presumably everyone else could deeply understand his current mood.

Luga clenched the corner of the table tightly, and he lowered his head, so that none of the nobles present could see his expression at this time. Only Arleto saw Luga's clenched teeth, and he understood that the matter was in trouble.

"Lord Luga, Lord Luga!" Arleto realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly called to Luga softly, and then reached out and grabbed Luga's left arm and whispered: "Your Excellency Luga, you must stay calm, you must not be lost by the demons, you must not be swayed by the demons, you must not be swayed by the demons!" ”

"Enough, there are no demons in this world!" Luga couldn't hold it anymore, and finally broke out, and he shook off Alleto's arm, stared at his red eyes, and stretched out his hand to point directly at each of the nobles present in front of him. "Look, isn't the devil just around the corner? Look at each of them, aren't they all terrifying demons? They cling to the Empire's massive body like parasites, and then open their ugly mouths to suck on the Empire's selfless blood. When the tired empire needed their help, they would call their bloated bodies thin, rich and poor, and the sun the moon, and what could be more terrible than them! ”

The nobles present were overwhelmed by Luga's reprimand and insults, and they lowered their heads as if they had made a mistake, but they all thought in their hearts that it would be over quickly, and let them leave after venting their anger.

"Come on!"

Luga yelled at the door, and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers rushed in in the room, and they directly clutched their swords tightly in their hands, and the blades of the swords were so bright that people were afraid to look at. They quickly surrounded all the nobles in front of them, and the nobles panicked

"Lord Luga, Lord Luga, what does this mean?" Seeing that Lu Jia was really coming, but the nobles couldn't sit still, they hurriedly got up and stood behind their seats, staring at Lu Jia with wide eyes and horror. Isn't that a panic? Seeing that the guy has already been copied, maybe he will kill someone behind closed doors! "We are all Romans, loyal to Rome and loyal to Baseleus, and you cannot point right and wrong with weapons aimed at barbarians at faithful Roman citizens."

"Wow!"

Luga grabbed a handful of coins from the pile in front of him and held them tightly in his hand, and the "click" sound of the coins rubbing against each other by squeezing them was particularly harsh, reflecting Luga's red eyes.

"The meeting gift for me, piled up like a wall, said to be for the army, only such a small number of coins that can be counted, barbarian invasion, the decline of the country, there are still such bloodsuckers who are content with the status quo and live shamelessly!" As he spoke, Luga threw the coins in his hand at the nobles in front of him, smashing them like frightened fowls, screaming and retreating.

"Lord Luga! Lord Luga! Seeing that the matter was serious, Arleto called out to Luga's name.

"It's none of your business here, Duke of Athens!" Luga yelled at Arleto, then turned back and stretched out his hand to order his soldiers: "Come, catch them all, and ask them for money!" ”

"We really don't have any money! We really don't have any money! The nobles wept and fell to their knees facing Luga as if praying to God. But even then, Luga didn't appreciate it!

"Poor worm!" Luga closed his eyes and quietly listened to the screams of the nobles, and said lightly: "I will be the bad guy, as long as I can stop Attila, no matter what I do, it will be tolerated!" ”

"Hit! If you don't spit out the money, you will be beaten to death! We want Souledus, Souledus! The screams of the nobles resounded throughout the Doge's Palace, leading to the pitch-black sky, and if God could hear it, I am afraid that it would be too noisy to sleep tonight.
