Chapter 270: Strangulation and Indulgence (I)

As soon as Remitius said this, the whole tent of the council fell silent, and everyone waited. Luga held his breath even more, he was very scared at this time, afraid that something would happen that he did not expect and that he had to accept.

"Then for the current situation, I naturally ask the one who has the most right to speak." Remitius said and turned to Luga, "Lord Luga. ”

He was waiting for Luga's answer, Luga was speechless for a while, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Remitius's gourd, according to the general rule, he should do his homework before discussing, after all, he was facing a political animal, it was easy to say, it was too underestimated to the opponent, it was difficult, and it was too demeaning to belittle.

"There was another duel at the bottom of the mountain before, and the fight was fierce, and the Vandals attacked very fiercely! However, our soldiers were more tenacious, withstanding and repelling their attacks......"

"That means you're evenly matched." Without waiting for Luga to finish, Remitius interjected directly.

"Yes, sort of!" After all, it was the first time to stand at the same table and speak with a big man like this, and Luga was more or less nervous. Remitius's interruption made him not know how to organize his language for a while, because these two were too calm, and their words and deeds were no different from normal, and at this point it can only be said that Luga was still too immature.

"So Your Excellency knows that if you force your way, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so you have come up with a way to fight the Vandals in a stalemate, and you want to starve them to death." Still smiling, Remitius said, picking up a bunch of grapes and lifting them in the air, opening his mouth and sending them into his mouth one by one.

"That's right." Luga said that it is undeniable: "If you have a better way, then you may wish to bring it up, and we can discuss it." ”

"Your Excellency Luga." Remitius put down the grapes in his hand and looked at Luga with a serious expression and said: "You are a soldier, I am just a politician, and I don't know much about your military, aren't you embarrassing me like this!" ”

"Enough is enough!"

Speaking of this, Aetius stretched out his hand to mediate, "We are new to the city, and we don't know much about the current terrain, besides, if we drag on here for a day or two, he will not be able to escape, so it is better for us not to talk about business, so we are sorry for the food on the table!" ”

After being dissuaded by Aetius, the serious expression on Remitius's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a smile, which must have been deliberate. He raised his glass and gave Luga a symbolic glass of wine, as if nothing had happened.

At the end of the feast, Aetius and Remitius, led by the soldiers, walked out of the tent and went to the tent that Luga had prepared for them to rest.

At this time, the table was full of cups and plates, and there were many delicious dishes that had not yet been touched. Knowing that Aetius had left, Andrew was allowed to re-enter the tent, and he sat beside Luga without saying a word. Presumably, it was Aetius's actions that he couldn't accept.

"Let's all sit down and eat together." Luga felt sorry for the deliciousness of this table, so he beckoned the soldiers of his guard to sit down and share the food on this table together.

"Here, my friend." Luga poured a glass of wine from his own wine glass and handed it to Andrew beside him, Andrew looked very depressed, he looked at Luga's hand, hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the wine glass, held it in his hand and kept grinding the silver wall of the glass, still not saying a word.

"How?" Luga patted Andrew on the shoulder and asked, "Are you still haunted by that?" ”

"Why not?" Andrew finally opened his mouth to speak, and with a crying voice, he threw his head up and drank the wine from his glass. Putting down his glass suddenly, he reached out and wiped his already flowered face, sobbing as he tried to keep himself calm.

"I thought he would remember our names, Luga, you know what?" Andrew paused, he made another glass of wine for himself, held it in his hand, and then said to Luga: "Do you know, before he came, I imagined more than once what we would say when we met, mostly to surprise him, and then get his compliments, and then maybe he will recognize us for our struggle, and be happy to be friends with us, even if the worst result is just a few pleasantries, at least he can recognize us old subordinates, not necessarily, maybe he remembers too many names, I don't care about untouchables like us who are not nobles. ”

"Have you been through so much just to prove yourself to him?" Luga questioned Andrew, and Andrew shook his head slightly: "Not only that, but I also want to prove like Quinta that I am a useful person, not a fool who can't farm as she says." Andrew said, holding the cup tightly and trembling, Luga didn't know how to persuade him, forget it, just leave him alone and let him think slowly, he will always figure it out!

"Aetius!" Remitius, who was walking behind, stopped Aetius, who was walking in front and couldn't stop hiccups, Aetius turned to look at Remitius and asked, "What's wrong?" My friend, are you looking for me? ”

"Yes!" Remitius rubbed his hands, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you don't bother, I'd like to invite your Excellency to my tent to discuss." ”

"Huh? Is it negotiable? Aetius rubbed his belly, which was full of wine and meat, which made him not very comfortable for the time being, and he had to lie down and digest it.

"Yes, it's negotiable!" Remitius's words are particularly resolute and unquestionable.

"Alright, lead the way!" Although Aetius had a thousand reluctances in his heart, after all, Remitius was a member of the Senate, and when he went out, he represented the Senate, and his will was the will of the Senate. Aetius had to concede three points, and since he opened his mouth, face was naturally given.

Entering the tent, Remitius ordered his guards to isolate the camp from the outside, leaving him and his chief guard and Aetius and his chief guard in the tent.

"Okay, okay!" As soon as Aetius entered the tent, he lazily found the bed and lay down, and it seemed that this delicious meal was to his liking, and he could not bear to eat it a little, he turned his face to look at Remitius and said, "Come, tell me, what is important to me or what kind of task the Senate has given you." ”

"About this Luga." Remitius stared into Aetius's eyes and said, "This guy, according to the information I received, is the ten-captain of the Fourteenth Twin Legion. The Twin Legion is the Eagle Banner Legion under your command, and it can be regarded as the top meat of your heart, why, you don't know such a ruthless character? ”

"Luga, ha, this is a legend!" Aetius smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Remitius and said, "But there is one thing I should remind you that your information is indeed a little late, and he and Andrew who is holding the flag behind him are the centurions of the first brigade under the command of the Twins, and I sealed it!" But how they survived that battle, I don't know! ”

"You mean Worms will fight!"

Aetius nodded, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that your little thing is too small to tolerate a little sand, he wouldn't have forced me to make this move, but not only did the damned not die, but a legion of strength that should not be underestimated, and an adopted son of Augustus!" ”
