He was the only one who understood what Luga was thinking, and the three of them walked along the narrow road in the middle, and there were many Vandal patrolling soldiers coming and going, but they all passed by Luga and his party, and they did not suspect that these three faces were not locals.

"If the senators of the Roman Senate were to see such a sight, I'm afraid they wouldn't have done anything to stop you at that time, Luga."

When Berialus said this, he was interrupted by Luga's outstretched hand, only to hear Luga say: "This place is not suitable for such a topic, let's go back and talk about it." ”

After walking around, Luga felt that there was really nothing to go about, so he planned to take Berialus and Andrew back to the ship, because in that slightly hidden place, he could talk to his two friends about his thoughts.

But just as he was about to reach his merchant ship on the docks, a sudden scream caught Luga's attention, and he followed the sound to see a huge gallows erected on a high ground not far away. The Vandals were escorting a group of ragged, grizzled men to the bottom of the gallows, which was so huge that it could hold a dozen people hanging from it at the same time, probably because there were too many men to be executed this time.

"It seems that our troubles have also appeared on them." Looking at the Vandals from afar to put ropes on these ragged "beggars", the beggars who are afraid of death are naturally unwilling to do this, so no matter how little hope they have, they have to cry hoarsely to express their "innocence", but how can the onlookers believe his "crocodile tears", no matter how they cry, they all choose to watch coldly.

"Let's go, go up and have a look." Luga beckoned the two of them to step forward, only to see a masked Vandal soldier wrapping the ropes around the pirates' necks one by one. Although they were crying and crying, they remained motionless and unresist in the face of the rope around their necks.

Luga could see from the dying guy lying on the ground on the ground at the head of their right hand that he must have resisted, and he would end up like this, killing chickens and monkeys, and this trick really worked. Being beaten in front of everyone and dying and then dying without face is not the first choice, it is also death, they all want to be comfortable without suffering so many crimes.

An officer who looked like a Vandal official stood on the gallows and shouted to the onlookers below: "These are heinous bastards, I don't know how many good goods and money have been plundered by them, they kill with impunity, even children." Well, now we have caught them and stopped their brutality in time. Punishment comes upon them, and believe me, they can't live because they have sinned! ”

Even he spoke fluent Latin, and Luga was even in a trance, he didn't know how Romanized the Vandals were. But judging by the gold and silver on top of his clothes, it seemed that their quality of life had improved considerably.

To Luga's surprise, at the end, he actually drew a cross on his chest, just like the onlookers below. This had not been the case in the previous war with Luga.

"They've become so earth-shattering to me." Luga muttered, silent behind the crowd for a moment, eventually turning away as the Vandals gave the order to put him to death.

"Pirates, damn pirates, you can't kill them all." At this moment, Luga faintly heard an old man beside him say hatefully, which made Lujia pause, and soon, he came back to his senses, quickened his pace, and moved away from the cheering crowd.

Back on the boat, Andrew couldn't help but ask Luga, "I saw that you wanted to stop talking, you must have thought of a good idea, right?" Luga. ”

Luga pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "All this is true, as the patriarchs of Syracuse said, the Vandals did not know where to learn the way of doing business, or the land itself is suitable for them to let them see each other like fish in water. In any case, Carthage, Rome's once greatest enemy, is being resurrected in another form, and no one knows how much of a threat they are to us, at least not at least not at the Roman court, who will only enjoy the meagre amount of money that the Vandals have paid as a sign of their victory. In short, the Vandals are accumulating wealth and plumping their wings, and they take the initiative to Romanize, just to become the successors of Rome, this is a truce, not peace! ”

"So what should we do?" Andrew asked, "Are we going to go back now, and then gather the army and hit them hard, and let them know that it will make people blush before they earn too much." ”

"No, you can't!" Luga shook his head and rejected Andrew's idea, and then he explained: "Such a huge army will naturally attract the attention of the Vandals in the direction of the great and far away, even if we succeed, we will pay a heavy price, not to mention that the enemy is so we can't startle the snakes, even so, if we destroy them once, they will quickly rebuild on the ruins, we can't pay all our attention to the Vandals, there are too many battles, and after the first blow, the second, The third time it will be more and more difficult, we can't afford it, we don't have that much money. ”

"So, there's only one way we can do it." Berialiu stroked his chin and said with a thoughtful expression: "According to what you said, the war cannot last long, so we can concentrate our forces and take Carthage quickly, as long as we take such a prosperous city, then it is impossible for the Vandals to be our enemy." ”

"It's not impossible to think about it. But ......" Luga nodded, affirming Berialiu's thoughts, but he also voiced his concerns: "But the most important thing is that none of us knows what kind of strength our enemy has reached after five years of recovery. If the enemy is stronger than us in such a rash attack, I'm afraid we will all have to explain here. ”

"Yes, that's the problem, so we need to inquire about the enemy's strength!" Berialiu nodded.

"But it will take half a year or even a year or two." Luga shook his head and said, "I can't wait that long, and besides, the enemy will only get stronger and stronger at this time. ”

"Hey, the cargo on your ship is gone, why are you waiting here, why don't you hurry up and make room for others!"

At this time, there was a rough reprimand outside the door, and then I heard the sound of rapid footsteps to the door. The door opened, and one of the guards came in and said to Luga, "My lord, the Vandal soldiers have asked us to leave. ”

"Then do what he wants, I've had enough of being here anyway." Luga waved his hand at the guard, and continued, "Go back, there will be time to discuss when you go back." ”
