"Flavies. Luga desperately commanded the hungry soldiers to attack the enemy in order to save Aetius. At this time, God was secretly supporting Flavis in the air. Luga and his soldiers, who sent blessings on the firmament, gave the warriors of Rome divine help. The darkness of the night did not hinder their eyes, but allowed them to see more clearly. Let their empty bellies refill with food and gain the power to kill until silence falls, until the sun rises. ”

In the Roman Senate, Odyssus stood on a podium decorated with laurel branches and spoke to the senators.

Dressed in a white toga robe, he did not forget to wear an ancient and meaningful laurel wreath made of osmanthus branches on his head, and returned to the Senate like a victor.

He was so agitated that his face turned red and his hands trembled when he spoke, fulfilling his duty as a storyteller.

Because of the shrinking of his assets, his position in the Senate was reduced to a guy who should not have come to power without prestige at this time, and at this time he was talking about Flavis from the podium. Luga's immortality is already able to illustrate a remarkable problem: the enjoyment of the "privileged class", which was originally out of step with the Senate, has always ceased to affect the Senate and the whole of Rome.

The glory of others is naturally inconspicuous in the eyes of the senators, who are accustomed to comparing with each other, even if they look down on this big waste of Odyss, who talks about this war, they can't help but face up to the huge backer behind Odes.

"But!"

At this moment, after a pause in the speech of Odyss, an elder sitting in the right room facing Odess stood up, and he interrupted Odes's words in disregard of etiquette in an attempt to attract everyone's attention.

They all turned their heads to look at the younger elder in front of them, who had to admit that he was indeed a certain age.

After attracting everyone's attention, he leaned down and whispered a few words to Remitius, who was sitting in front of him, apparently seeking Remitius' opinion.

Only when Remitius nodded slightly, did he straighten up and speak in a voice as heavy as an opera singing characteristic of the senator: "It is well known that the Rhine Line has always been the area under the jurisdiction of Flavies, Luga, and of course the vast area of southern Belgian Gaul. There are plenty of troops and weapons there. It can be said that now Flavis. Luga possessed military prowess that could not be matched. ”

He wasn't lying, so his words drew a nod of approval from everyone present, which also made a smile on his face, which was exactly what he wanted.

The approval of the other patriarchs strengthened his confidence, made him straighten his chest, and said in a deep voice: "However, this great soldier commander has monopolized half of the country's territory when he became a soldier and has not paid back the taxes until now, and he claims that it is all for the soldiers under his command, can it be said that the lives of these soldiers are more precious than those of Augustus?" Or is it to feed our own soldiers and let us have Augustus, the great Valentinian III hungry? ”

This time it was brought to Augustus's head, and the current height immediately rose to politics, not talking about Luga's hard work at all, but talking about Luga's embezzlement of taxes to support the army.

"Disaster!" The patriarch raised his arms and shouted, his words matched with his expression, like a prophet who had come to warn the ignorant world of the coming of the end of the world. "Neither Augustus nor any of you present here will be spared from this great conspiracy, and behold, the rebel has appeared, like a bloodthirsty wolf hiding in the shadows, encouraging the good and honest ignorant in flowery language."

"Rebels! Rebels! The rest of Remitius's staff chanted together, cheering for the "brave" senator who was "brave" to speak, and increasing his momentum.

There were more than 3,000 senators present, and except for a few sensible ones, many of them who were at a loss were more likely to follow the crowd and believe Remitius and their words.

It was a blatant insult to describe Odyssus as an ignoramus, but he had to bear it, after all, now Remitius and his staff were in control of the direction of the entire venue.

The word rebel appears in the mouths of the patriarchs, which means that more uncertainties will happen, at least not for now. The senators will soon be taken over by the senators who supported Aetius with Remitius.

No matter what Odes said from the podium, he could not match the shouts of a large crowd, and he had to admit that he was so weak, and seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, he couldn't help but think of what Luga told him before leaving: Don't try to convince politicians with words, of course, this is not our original intention.

"Words are not your original intention!" Odeus looked at the henchmen of the Senate who were constantly inciting hatred against Luga, encouraging the surrounding senators who were at a loss, and the weak Odeus could not do anything inside, even if he pulled his throat, this small voice would be drowned out by the huge slogan of "rebel" like a bell.

Sitting in the middle of the seat, John. Antioch, aware of the unfavorable situation, got up and walked around the room to Odyss, who was on the podium, leaned into Odes' ear and whispered: "Your Excellency, words do not convince them, especially the politicians who support Aetius. ”

Looking at the young stranger in front of him, Odeus couldn't help frowning and asked, "Do we know each other?" ”

"You don't have to know." John. Antioch said bluntly, "I am in the service of Flavies. The reason you are here is to help you solve this problem when the situation becomes uncontrollable. ”

Seeing that the young man in front of him swore with confidence, as if he was confident, Odeus nodded suspiciously. He couldn't believe that this young man, who was dozens of years younger than him, could be so confident and have a way to deal with these old "outstanding people"?

John. Antioch saw Odyssus nodding, he smiled and nodded in response before exiting the venue.

However, in just thirty seconds, only a loud "clang" sound was heard. The doors of several council chambers were rudely opened, and a large number of heavily armed soldiers with bright swords rushed in.

As if it had been arranged in advance, the soldiers rushed in and walked unhurriedly up the aisle in the middle of the seats in the meeting hall, and surrounded the old nobles who were still scolding Luga in front of them, and the sharp blades of their swords rested on the necks of two old things, and the slightest movement would have injured and died.

The nobles who had been pampered since childhood, except for some Vandals who were born as military officers, were all shocked, sitting in their seats and staring down at the blade of the sword, not daring to speak.

Even Odysses couldn't help but gasp at such a scene, he suddenly understood what Luga said at that time, it turned out that this was what Luga wanted to express.

Stay until John. Antiochus returned to Odes' side, and Odyss, still in shock, trembled his lips and said, "So, so far, is this what Lord Luga meant by what he said?" ”

"Yes, Lord Odyss." John. Antiochus looked relaxed, like a general who had easily won the victory, clapping his hands and looking triumphantly at his "captive". "Lord Luga is not good at words, but he is good at silencing people who can speak!"

"Flavies. Luga is a hero of Rome! ”

"Flavies. Luga was the savior of Rome! ”

"Hero!"

"Savior!"

This method really worked, and the Senate chamber resounded with such praise words in praise of Luga, but such praise, Luga had waited too long...
