Chapter 642: Intensifying

Countless arrows fell, instantly shooting the guy who wanted to get on his horse and run away, covering the poor fellow. The officer didn't even snort before he was buried by a myriad of arrows.

Then, the actions of Arecio, Verus, and the Praetorian Guard had made the entire battlefield quiet and eerie, and everyone was looking at the grave of hundreds of arrows, and the tragic death was among them.

The arrow became the tomb where he was buried, and the murderer was none other than his fellow Romans.

"See! See! ”

Aetius pointed to the tomb and shouted at the soldiers beside him, "This is what happened to our well-meaning Romans, who were so kind and tried to persuade me not to do anything to my fellow Romans when I was about to teach them a lesson, but now he died at the arrows of his fellow Romans, whom he had worked so hard to protect. ”

At the instigation of Aetius, the eyes of his soldiers were full of anger, and they gritted their teeth and glared angrily at the defenders on the city walls, as if at this moment they were already enemies.

"What a perfect plan!" Arecio looked at the Roman soldiers shouting fiercely below, and couldn't help but sigh that Aetius was really a master of playfulness, and he could easily win the trust of the entire army at the cost of killing one person, and have a reason to go to war.

"Aetius, you must at least understand what you are doing now." Arecio looked at the roaring soldiers below, and there was no trace of fear in his heart, he had seen all the grand scenes, so that he would not be frightened by the deliberate formation of Aetius in front of him.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! ”

The officers of the Praetorian Guard shouted loudly, and the soldiers drew their arrows again and put them on the strings, aiming them at the soldiers below.

The royal palace of Rome, where there has been no trace of Augustus for a long time.

After Honorius, both Constantius and Valentinian were disgusted by this place of intriguery, and they preferred to stay in Ravenna rather than in this damned city where there were rebellious thieves who were constantly spying on the throne of Augustus.

However, he had to come here from Ravenna for protection, because he was told that Aetius might carry out a coup d'Γ©tat to vacate his place.

Valentinian III, who had been wary of Aetius since childhood, naturally believed Luga's words, after all, keeping Augustus' position and the countless money and wealth were the most important things at the moment.

In the luxurious palace, he ate every day the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, all the rare delicacies from all over Rome, and he himself was accustomed to such a life, and it was natural to live comfortably in the palace under the protection of the Luga legion.

The guards kept a close watch over Augustus, because to prevent the bastards of the Senate from sneaking into Augustus and talking gibberish in his ear, as long as Luga lost Augustus's trust, everything to deal with now and in the future would be extremely difficult.

But after a few months of comfortable days, everything in front of me became boring. Valentinian was too tightly bound, but very repulsive to everything he was now, because he had not been free since he was a child, he became very sensitive, and he would be furious at the slightest disobedience.

Those who have seen him angry say that he is the god of thunder, and he is always so irritable.

"Smack!"

There was a sound of crockpots shattering in the still-quiet environment.

"Get out! Get out! You traitors, I will kill you all, and then hang your heads on the gates of Rome, so that everyone who comes in and out will spit on your filthy heads! ”

Valentinian's roar was heard in the room, and in a few moments the open door saw several maids running out crying with tears in their eyes.

The guards guarding the door hurried in, only to see Valentinian wielding a wooden stick lifelessly, and the anger that came from somewhere made him unable to control his sanity.

He brandished a wooden stick and knocked all the tableware on the table to the ground, then knocked the table down, shouting loudly and angrily: "Liars, you are all damned liars, traitors, traitors!" ”

Such a roar beckoned Augusta Lickinia, who, followed by several maids, hurried to see Valentinian, who was going mad.

"Oh my God, what are you crazy about here?" Likinia was disgusted with this guy, so she said angrily to Valentinian.

When Valentinian heard that it was Licina's voice, he calmed down as if a miracle had happened, he gasped for breath, looked at Licina's red and swollen eyes, and hurriedly ran over to take Licina's hand and said, "Honey, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, my heart was broken when I heard the news of Theodosius my poor brother, Licinaia, oh, dear, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I am so sorry, these hateful fellows, I didn't tell me about such an important thing first, These damned traitors. ”

Lickinia was amazed, because she did not expect Valentinian to do this, and this selfish man who only cared for himself would feel a moment of silence for the death of her brother, who had never said a word.

"It's only because God called him." Leekinia turned her head away, holding back her tears from falling.

"But you're his daughter, the only one!" At this time, Valentinian's tone of speech suddenly changed, he stepped forward and grabbed Licinia's arms, stared at her with dead eyes, and said: "You are his daughter, and I am his brother, we have the noble blood of Flavies, and now there is no Augustus in half of Rome in the East, but whether it is a nobleman or a subject, they urgently need a new Augustus to ascend the throne, and lead them to complete the unification that the previous Augustus suffered from unfinished." ”

Lyquinia was stunned by Valentinian's words, and she turned her head to look at Valentinian III with wide eyes in her eyes, full of greed and desire.

He seems to have turned into an impersonal monster in the lust for power, and it turned out that everything was because he wanted to succeed his father Theodosius as the partition Augustus of Eastern Rome, or the Augustus of the entire Roman Empire.

"That's what you think!" Liquinia glared at Valentinian hatefully, then waved his hands open.

A hint of surprise flashed across Valentinian's face, he didn't expect Lickinia and his wife to do this to him.

"Likenia!" Valentinian shouted: "You are my wife, and you are also the blood of the Flavius family, now I am the only man in the Flavis family, I am the only Augustus in Rome given by God, you must serve me as my wife, you must obey me!" ”

"I hope it will be as you wish!" Licinia glared at Valentinian, dropped the sentence viciously, and then turned away, leaving Valentinian to shout hoarsely at Licinia's back: "Traitor, shame on the family, shameless fuck off, I will kill you!" I'll kill you! ”
