In the middle of summer, all the citizens and soldiers of Agripina were immersed in the scorching heat, and the heat made everything seem so listless. Because the sun was scorching and the sun made people drowsy, standing guard at the city gate naturally became the most painful thing for these Bagunda soldiers.

The news of Augusta-Treville's reconquest by the Romans had spread throughout Belgian Gaul, and such a sudden attack would naturally alert the Bagauda elements in the province, and no one knew whether the Romans would land north of the Rhine, or even where the Romans would attack.

The whole city was in the midst of a lot of noise, they were heavily guarded, and the other day there was news that a large number of Roman legions had appeared in a nearby village, and this was a bomb that had been detonated in the hearts of the people. The always stingy internal officers had to take out the armor and equipment stored in their warehouses to equip the soldiers, and no one knew when the outside of the city would no longer be the paupers waiting to enter the city, but the mighty Roman legions.

The other leader of the Bagoda rebels, Barbarian Bill, had led his army to take Agrippena since he broke away from the coalition of the Bagoda rebels. Of course, after the ransacking of the rebels here, the whole city was impoverished, but it didn't matter, there were the women he plundered and the prostitutes in the city, plus the powerful force threatened the villagers to pay tribute to him, they were naturally able to live a carefree life.

He took over the old Doge's palace in Arecio, and sat in the remade seats, and the whole hall was no longer black like that depressed guy in Arecio, and he lit the whole house with firelight, as if it were daylight. The musicians in the taverns who don't have time to escape, what they can do now must be to play their masterful tunes for the savages.

Bill hugged left and right, wine in hand, and listened to the melodious praise of the women on the wall, and his face couldn't help but be happy.

"My lord, I must say that we don't have time!" It was this kind of song and dance that Bill's response worried Tiberius, because if he was not prepared, the Roman legions would fall from the sky, appear outside the city, and storm the city.

Tiberius escaped from Augusta-Treville, and of course brought his faithful companion Jürgen, who came here and was treated with great pomp by Bill as his comrade-in-arms.

Of course, it may be that Bill is used to this kind of night singing, and he is deaf to Tiberius's reminders, probably because he has lost himself in the praise of the women around him. I heard him wave his hand casually, and said disapprenantly to Tiberius: "Don't worry, my friend! Wasn't the legion led by Augustus in Rome as large as this? However, it was outside the forest of Augusta-Treville. If it weren't for the help of the gods, I'm afraid Rome would have to change to a new Augustus. ”

When Bill said this, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and then said casually: "Augustus is like this, and he is still afraid of their courtiers, these fellows who only know how to enjoy themselves inside and out, that is, if they take this city, they will definitely go back to ask their masters for credit." Coming here is nothing more than putting on a show, going deep into the hinterland to attack, and not afraid that our army will drown him? ”

"But." Tiberius said, "I heard that the Roman commander gave out citizenship in the surrounding villages, so that many people would join them, and you would lose the surrounding villages!" ”

"Village?" Bill raised his voice to sound incredible, and he asked Tiberius, "What do I want the village for?" Those peasants who only farm and complain, without my protection, they would have died a long time ago! Now they don't know how to be grateful, but for what citizenship they have thrown their refuge into, the enemy who oppressed them? Ha, funny! ”

Speaking of which, Bill poured the bottom of the remaining wine glass in his glass with his backhand and snuggled up to the woman who kept ** him, and the woman opened her mouth to meet the bottom of the glass, as if receiving a gift. Although the bottom of the cup was poured on her neck, on her chest. Not only did the woman not avoid it, but laughed lewdly, and reached out to her chest to look at Bill with a seductive look. Naturally, this is something that Bill enjoys immensely, how can he live enough of such a luxurious life.

"As long as the army is in my hands!" Bill said fiercely: "I now have enough money for my soldiers, and my soldiers are well armed, unlike yours, Tiberius, how can a gang of beggars you bring with you win?" ”

Such words made Tiberius shut his mouth and never speak again, because to say it would be self-inflicted. Urgen listened to it even more, and when he talked about the Augustus of the Western Roman Empire, Urgen raised his heart to his throat, and now he patted Tiberius on the thigh and motioned him with his eyes to stop talking.

"Tiberius." This time Bill was no longer polite, he said to Tiberius with a very serious expression: "I hope you can understand now that you are now under my protection, and I also hope that you can remember in what capacity you entered our team in the first place, of course, you don't have to be formal, after all, we are allies who fought together, and of course I will not treat you badly!" ”

With that, Bill gestured to the two girls beside him, and the two girls quickly understood what they meant, and the two of them got up and obediently came to Tiberius and Hurgen, seducing them both with their own appearances.

"You two just have to enjoy it, don't care about the rest!" Bill said, picking up the glass he had just filled with wine and drinking it down.

When the feast was over, Tiberius and Uergen returned to their room with trepidation.

"Look, Ürgen, he simply doesn't listen, he doesn't know how terrible our opponent really is!" Tiberius looked very angry, but he could only say indignantly, "If I had had an army of 10,000 men, I don't think this bastard would have spoken to me in such a tone." ”

"But sir!" No matter how downtrodden Tiberius was, Uergen was still willing to call him a sir, only to hear Urgen say: "Bill must be indulging in his own exploits in taking Agrippiana, and now with our status, no matter how much we persuade him, he will not calm down, and we must now think of a good way." ”

"What's the best way?" Tiberius asked.

"Run." Jürgen explained: "I learned from the governor of the city that some time ago, when we did not know that the Romans had entered a large number of villagers at the time of the spread of citizenship, but they seemed to be somewhat stronger. ”

"Is this true?" Tiberius was startled and hurriedly asked.

"It's just a joke for them, but I don't feel like they're villagers." Jürgen said: "I am afraid that the Roman army has already attacked. ”

"We need to hurry up and tell Bill that it's dangerous now!" Tiberius hurriedly said, "We can't keep him in the dark!" ”

"My lord, it's too late!" "I'm afraid they'll attack today," said Jürgen, "so let's find a place to run while they haven't attacked yet!" ”

"But, but!" Tiberius wanted to say more.
