"Andrew, what's the matter, in such a hurry, could it be that Isi'e is unwilling to fail and is here again, or is it that now that the Legion has been replenished enough, we are going to take Nisibis?" Lu Jia saw that this guy looked tired, but he came and went in such a hurry, and he expected that there would be a big dynamic in the near future, so he asked.

"Hey, don't mention it!" Andrew smiled bitterly and waved his hand at Luga, he gasped for breath, it seemed that he had not run away along the way, he did not speak at first, and drank the wine from the wine glass on the table. It was like ushering in the long-lost nectar in the scorching heat, which suddenly made Andrew's whole body cool, he closed his eyes, and slowly savored the aroma of wine in his mouth, and his wine-loving nature was vividly expressed at this moment. A glass of wine dissipated Andrew's fatigue, making him feel like he was regaining his vitality in an instant, and he even spoke a lot more neatly. "Nisibis, don't think about it, this battle made the First Constantine Legion lose nearly half of its troops, of course, you also saw it in the wounded barracks, we lost more than a thousand people during this time, plus those who survived but were crippled, we are a little more than 10,000."

"What do you mean?" After listening to Andrew's words, Luga was very puzzled, "Could it be that a city as big as Edessa can't even give a basic supply of troops?" ”

"No, it's not like that, Luga." Andrew let out a long sigh, then picked up the flask and filled a glass of wine, this time he was not so anxious to drink it all, but put it to his lips and took a sip, carefully tasting the wine in the glass, which is the practice of a civilized world. "Augustus is always thinking very much now, yes, it's just hard to figure out, you know."

"Oh, Andrew, you weren't that fond of procrastination before, tell me what the hell is going on!" Luga was obviously impatient, he felt that Andrew had plenty of time to rest, so it didn't look like Andrew's style if he didn't say anything about it, but this week's work actually made this straightforward man not so straightforward.

"All right, Luga." Andrew was still unhurried, and he carefully placed the glass on the table, as if he were afraid that the iron glass would be broken. "Augustus decided to withdraw his troops and go back."

"What?"

Luga was shocked, really, such a move by Theodosius II really surprised Luga, and he was also very angry. It's a city, so why don't you want it?

"Did he tell you why he did it?" Luga lowered her voice and questioned Andrew.

"It seems that to pray for the soldiers who died in this war, I think the key is his old friend Marcus." Andrew said, sighed to Luga, and explained to Luga: "Maybe Augustus is a person who values righteousness, he has been dealing with the nobles in the city during this time, at this time stabilizing the hearts of the nobles within the city and getting their support is the most important thing at the moment, but now it looks like the situation has been initially stabilized, and the nobles' belief in supporting the empire has not changed, so Augustus is leaving, and it is said that he will also make up for a mistake that his father once made." ”

"His father's mistake?" Luga didn't know what that meant, but he was sure for now that he had no hope of retaking Nisibis, which had been occupied by the Sassanids. He couldn't say anything about it, Nisibis was very important to Luga, but in the eyes of Theodosius II, it was nothing more than a dispensable city in the Roman Empire.

Since Augustus still had to do his own business, then as a courtier, Luga could not stop anything.

"Then you came here to visit me, it must be Augustus's meaning!" Luga asked Andrew. "Otherwise, if you're so busy, it's naturally impossible to find time to talk to me."

Andrew nodded at Luga's words, and then added, "Augustus is very concerned about your injuries, so let me take the time to take a look, ask how your injuries are recovering, and inform you that it's time for us to hit the road." ”

"Back to Constantine?"

"Yes, back to Constantine."

Andrew said, got up and walked out of the tent, and beckoned to Luga at the mouth of the tent, "Come out, Luga, and see what I have brought you?" ”

Seeing Andrew's mysterious expression, Luga walked out of the tent suspiciously, only to see a waiter with a large wooden box next to his leg, which seemed to have hit a lot of good things.

"What is this?" Luga pointed to the box and asked Andrew.

"Hah, just a small gift, Luga." Andrew laughed, then walked over to open the wooden box and pulled out a full set of armor from it. Andrew showed me this suit of armor and explained to me: "This armor is made of a lot of small pieces of iron, and there are many cowhide ropes in between, which are very flexible, and the defense power should not be underestimated, of course, this is a cuirass, but it must be improved, you see, there are special chain mail leggings underneath, which can go all the way to the knees." Of course, the most precious place is to add a complete iron plate. Andrew spoke eloquently, although it didn't interest Luga at all. And then look at the leather belt on it, it must be very handsome if you gallop on a horse......"

"Oh, Andrew, that's enough, that's enough, I've got eyes!" Luga interrupted Andrew's speech impatiently, walked over and took the armor in Andrew's hand, and weighed it up and down a few times in his hand, feeling that this weight was still very light for himself, and then put it on, it felt very fit. Luga himself felt that although this outfit was not the same as he imagined in his heart, it was too different from the Roman armor in his image, and besides, it was basically impossible to wear other armor outside such armor.

"Anything else?" Luga then asked.

"Oh, of course, Luga, look!" Andrew said, pulling out a helmet from the box. Then he introduced: "This helmet is made according to the armor style of the Eastern Empire, the top of this head is made of a whole piece of iron, and then there is a cheek guard, which is very classical style, and of course, there is a vertical horse comprehensive, red, oh, and a face guard, this is a mask, the face guard is used, and it feels like it should compound your taste." ”

Luga took the mask again, looked it up and down, pursed his lips, and thought to himself, this can only be considered improvised, but something is better than nothing.

"Not now."

"Oh no, and!" As if by magic, Andrew pulled out a shield from the chest, which was not very large, and an iron sword, and stuffed it all into Luga. Luga could clearly feel the weight of it, and I have to say that this was a rare gift.

"Could it be that you gave it to me?" Luga held this full set of armor weapons and clearly felt the obvious weight of this armor.

"No, Luga, I didn't send it, you know, I haven't raised my salary with us for so long, so I ran up in such a daze, this armor was given by the nobles who befriended Augustus, because they learned that you saved Augustus like a knight from hell, so they took out the ancestral armor and presented it to you in order to thank you."

"Oh, it's still an ancestral thing, no wonder it doesn't look very good." Luga muttered to herself, holding this set and preparing to turn back to the camp.

"Hey, Luga, wait!"

Behind him, Andrew stopped him with a loud voice, and Luga turned around, only to see Andrew take out another object from the box, this time it didn't give Luga a bright feeling, because it was just a very ordinary piece of parchment.

"What is this?" Luga asked, looking suspiciously at the parchment in Andrew's hand.

"This is a letter from the nobleman who sent you the armor, and of course it is full of useless compliments." Andrew glanced at you cursoryly and said to Luga, "But it is written in this letter that the nobleman's daughter has heard of your deeds and expressed great interest in getting acquainted with you......"

"Hah, I thought it was?" After all, there was no surprise, Lugargan laughed, and returned to his tent. "It's not early, Andrew, you go back first, and when Augustus is about to leave, tell me."
