Chapter 66: Persuasion of Peace
"You took the lead in retorting me." Guy's tone was very calm, and the expression of the whole person could really be described as cold. He approached me step by step, the scales dripping with the blood of Amor that had just been splashed, and the red-stained brass scale armor looked much more hideous in the sunlight.
Are you here to kill me? I sank down, maybe I have experienced too many winds and waves, my heart that has been pounding is tired, and my heart is haggard and can't make me nervous, and the right hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly falls on the hilt of the sword and clenches tightly, and my heart is ready to pull him on the back.
"Aurius . Luga, your undisciplined questions really exceeded my expectations, really, even the deputy Captain Anthony didn't question me in such a tone. Guy walked up to me, his eyes never leaving me.
"Sir, it's none of his business."
Andrew struggled to pull me behind him, my cavalry sword already half drawn, just in case. The three of us were caught up in a standoff right in front of everyone.
"Aurius . Luga! Chief Centurion Guy stared at me in a voice that seemed to be steaming, "Give me a reason not to kill you?" ”
Reason? I really couldn't find any reasonable reason to explain to him why I shouldn't have killed. Seeing Guy press closer, the sword that had been in the scabbard at my waist was finally drawn, I stared at him closely, keeping a close eye on the movement of the sword in his right hand, for fear of becoming a creature like Amor who died unconsciously.
"So, you don't have anything to say, do you?"
Guy sneered and slowly raised the iron sword in his hand, he was now eager to re-establish his prestige in the First Brigade, authority built on killing and fear. And I, the stumbling block that openly took the lead in refuting him and questioning his authority, so, I could see that he intended to get rid of me in front of everyone.
"Andrew, you get out of the way."
I whispered to Andrew, who was standing in front of me, "It seems that this red-eyed guy is the only one here with me who can stand up!" ”
"Luga, are you crazy? He's our chief centurion, and whether you win or not, you're going to die! Andrew looked back and exclaimed.
"What's the solution, we can't hide!"
I'm a little anxious, since this bastard wants to kill me, then I can't stand still, I raise my sword and face it.
"Stop!"
A shout rang out behind the soldiers in a circle,
"Who the fuck is that!"
Guy just looked up to see who dared to interrupt him so boldly. The soldiers behind retreated, as if frightened, until they gave way to a sufficiently wide path.
Guy opened his mouth and was about to curse, but when he saw the person on the other side, he actually held back his words.
"Legion Commander, why are you here!"
Guy's tone slowed down a lot, and he lowered his head, eager to bury his whole head in his own chest. This aroused my curiosity, and looking through the gap, I saw a figure, red cloak, golden laurel wreath, maybe he was the one who could make this Guy bow his head, I thought to myself, yes, he was Aetius, but what I didn't expect was that he was the commander of this legion. The soldiers around them, regardless of their own inconvenience, immediately puffed up their chests and faced Aetius as a sign of their etiquette.
"Oh, Guy, my old friend."
Aetius smiled, not looking at the soldiers around him for even a second, he walked briskly, opened his arms, and hugged Guy closely. Guy stared, and the expression on his face was even more stunned, obviously not relieved. After a brief hug, Aetius glanced at me and Andrew, and said to Guy, "Why, teach the soldiers?" "Looking at the bloody sword in Guy's hand, I'm afraid things will immediately understand.
"Well, this Aetius seems to be on the same path as this Guy."
I suddenly lost the bottom of my heart, thinking to myself that these two belly have mixed together, what should I do, Andrew should have no problem, but if they want to use me to establish prestige, I can't run away! Just thinking about it, I also looked left and right, there was no other way, all around was surrounded and killed, and besides, it was cut all the way, and the cavalry of Aetius was not vegetarian, and people couldn't outrun the horses, such a rough estimate, I have to admit that this time I may be planted here.
"Guy, what's going on with these two guys?"
Aetius pointed at us and asked Guy.
"Oh, the one in the back who injured his arm, took the lead against me, shook my prestige in the army, and I must kill him."
It seems that Guy is already determined to kill me, and even quibbling will not help at this time. I swallowed, and my heart was secretly ruthless, if this guy had to kill me, he wouldn't survive! I gritted my teeth and weighed the cavalry sword in my hand.
"Alas, you can't say that, my friend!"
Who knew that at this time, Etius actually looked at Guy with a smile, pointed at me and said to Andrew: "I know these two people, they are the soldiers who escorted the banner of the Seventh Gemina Legion, this is indeed a great achievement, my friend, you should understand that if the return of a destroyed legion flag is a centurion, then he can directly serve as the reorganized commander of this legion, and the two of them are now two soldiers, such a great credit has not been recorded, you see now, the two of them have experienced the siege of Ludinand, I watched the two of them go up, and then this time I was attacked, and it was the two of them again...... ”
"Hey."
As Aetius spoke to Chief Centurion Guy, Andrew turned to me and whispered, "What do I think of this Aetius as if he was interceding for you?" ”
"Intercede for me?" I don't understand it in my heart, you say that I am not related to him, why should he, or how can he intercede for me? Could it be that I'm thinking too much? I struggled in my heart, and now I really can't tell what medicine is sold in this Aetius's gourd?
"You mean," said Guy, looking at Aetius with a puzzled expression, "let me let him go?" ”
"He's a veteran of wars, you see, he just joined a new team, and now he's suffered such a big loss, it's reasonable to complain, you're good, you killed one, and you want to kill the second, an experienced veteran is worth a lot more than a recruit who doesn't know anything!" After a while, Aetius gushed a long paragraph, and the more I looked at it, the more I didn't understand, you said that I was just a ten-captain like a bare-bones commander, how could I get into the eyes of the commander Aetius. It's just a one-sided relationship, but he is trying so hard to protect me, what does it mean?
"Now that Marshal Aetius has spoken," said Guy, his brow furrowed, and then he looked at me, "then, I will forgive you for your crimes against me." With that, Guy turned his head and wanted to leave.
"Well, wait," Aetius called to him, "I said, old friend, isn't it too interesting for you to say that, they are a hero! ”
"So, what do you mean, Your Excellency?" Guy looked at Aetius with a puzzled expression.
"Promote!"
Aetius was straight to the point.
"What?"
Not only Guy, but also the soldiers of the First Legion around them, they all gasped, this felony against the chief centurion was just written off, and it was unheard of to be promoted after the fault. Similarly, Andrew and I were stunned.
"Holy, Andrew, you really don't know how much that flag is worth!"
Guy's face turned pale, and he looked at Aetius without saying a word, Aetius just smiled and patted Guy on the shoulder. Then he loudly announced to everyone present: "Now, the first brigade of the 14th Army Corps listens to the order!" Now Feng Aurius . Luga and Aurius . Andrew is the centurion of the 1st and 2nd Centennial of the 1st Legion! ”
There was silence all around, no one cheered, and Andrew, and I somehow stood still and listened to Aetius's sentence, which may be because happiness came too suddenly.
"Luga, I'm really not dreaming!"
Andrew's eyes widened and he pinched his face from time to time, for fear that it was an unreal dream.
"That's right!"
This was heard by Aetius, who looked at us both with the same smile and said, "Welcome, new centurions! ”
