The water of the river was clear, and there was still a chill in the air just after the bitter cold, and Luga took off his cloak and put it on Anais.

Anai smiled at Luga, and his expression was full of happiness. The two of them just sat on the gravel beach by the river and looked down at the river, and occasionally a small fish would make the two of them excited for a while.

Anai leaned over, not afraid of the coldness of the water, she put her hand in the flowing stream, as if quietly enjoying the feeling of the stream passing through her fingers.

Time just slipped away quietly through the fingers with the flow of water, but the two people on the shore didn't realize it, they just chatted and exchanged feelings, enjoying this quiet time.

"I can't guarantee the end of the war." Lu Jia spread out his palms and said to Anai helplessly: "Even if I am in such a position, I can't do it. ”

"Why, you are a soldier commander, I heard that there was also a soldier commander a few decades ago, and he was here to call for wind and rain, and to dispatch the large and small armies in Rome, and even Augustus had to fear him for three points." Anai didn't understand what Luga meant, and in her eyes she saw that the war had not stopped, and that more and more children were living on the streets.

In Luga's eyes, what he saw was the land of the so-called Roman civilization that was gradually encroaching on, which made it difficult for the Romans, who had carved out huge lands for hundreds of years, to move an inch.

In order to maintain the integrity and unity of the empire, Luga had to command his army to wage war against all the barbarians who occupied the Roman lands. Otherwise, Rome would eventually fall under the constant devouring of whales, and Luga knew that it was his duty to prevent this from happening in the midst of such an eventful season.

"Anai!" Luga put his hand on Anai's shoulder, and Anai looked up at Luja with a soft look in his eyes.

"Trust me!" Luga pointed to his chest as if to assure Anais, "The war will end one day, and these children you love and love, they will eventually have their parents to take them away!" ”

Anai was surprised at first, then looked a little dejected.

Lu Jia was very curious, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't I see any joy on your face when you knew that the war was going to end, isn't this the result you most desired?" ”

"But that's why I'm going to lose them, these lovely kids." Anai became pitiful, her teeth biting her lower lip, as if she would go crazy if she lost the children the next moment.

I hope these orphans have a good home but don't want them to leave, man is really a strange animal. Luga looked at Anai and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Anai looked at Luga with a puzzled expression.

"No, nothing!" Naturally, Lu Jia would not tell the truth, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "I just feel that you are very beautiful inadvertently." ”

"Oh, what you said makes me very useful, Luga!" Anai smiled, and the smile was so beautiful that Luga shook his head for a while.

"Alright, it's not too early!" Looking up at the sun, Luga realized that he didn't have any more time to pass the time. Even if he was very reluctant, he had to accept that after all, he was in a high position, and he couldn't be as free as before, and he had never been free before.

"It's only been a while!" Anai said, with a hint of reluctance and sadness in his eyes.

"Anai!" Luga reached out and stroked Ana's head, and said to her with a serious expression, "I have to be busy so that I can end the war early and get everything on track." ”

In Rome at this time, in the camp of the Janissaries in the northeast corner of the city, the soldiers were ready to go, a whole army of ten field regiments. They set out early in the morning and followed the road in the direction of Gaul.

And in the western part of Gaul, in Augustolitum, here was the territory of Visgot.

At this time, several well-armored cavalry teams gathered outside the city, and they waited quietly until the city gates opened.

I saw a group of cavalry slowly walk out, led by King Theodoric I of Visgoth, who nodded at the officers of the cavalry, and then marched eastward with a large group of cavalry. There was a Roman city named Ludinand.

Also three days later, Luga, who was far away in Agrippena, received news that he had led a newly formed army and had gone south with Andrew, and had reached the ill-fated city of Ludinand nearly a month later.

If it weren't the last time to recover the siege of Ludinand, then this time Ludinan was unprecedentedly lively.

"Look, the Romans, the Gauls, the Germans, the Goths, they're all here, my God, I really don't know what they want to do?" Looking at the people coming and going in the streets, Andrew could recognize them, they were all soldiers from all over the country, from the Gothic kingdom and under the command of Aetius.

"I don't know that." Luga said: "This time it was mainly against the various barbarian tribes that had flowed into the territory of Rome, and because they did not have enough food supplies, they plundered in my territory with Aetius and even the Goths, and had a greater or lesser impact on the economies of both sides. ”

Fortunately, because he was the commander of the soldiers, Luga earned an opportunity for his army to be stationed outside the city, that is, closest to Ludinand, so that if there was any emergency, the army stationed outside could attack the city at any time. With the existence of such a military force, no matter which side is lucky, it will be restrained because of this.

Walking along the streets that had long since changed, the group finally arrived at the Governor's Palace in the middle of Ludinan. This was the domain of Aetius, and his guards guarded every entrance and exit of the Doge's Palace, and strictly checked the officials and nobles who entered and exited.

"What is Aetius trying to do this time?" Andrew was even more puzzled, "He couldn't have invited us here to show off his strength, right?" ”

"I don't think so!" Luga said, "Andrew, you follow me closely at this time, as do the soldiers behind you, and I will see what Aetius wants to do with this when the time comes." ”

In the middle of the empty room was a round table with a chair with velvet cushions on each of the three sides. Luga was guided by the attendants to choose the position against the wall, while Theodoric I, who came in later, chose the other side, and Aetius chose the side against the door.

The meeting was completely devoid of any trust, because behind them, no matter which side they were, they were full of heavily armed soldiers. This seems to be able to strengthen their confidence and make them better argue at the negotiating table.

"Okay, it's all here, the illustrious ones of the new era!" Aetius said, tapping lightly on the table, as if thoughtful.
