Chapter 601: Take-in
With the invincible Roman army in front of him and his fellow tribesmen struggling to cry for help in the water, this barbarian leader is in a dilemma.
The screams of the drowning man reached Luga's ears, it stands to reason that a killer, especially a person with a lot of blood debts, has always paid no attention to the life and death of others, because it is a threat that will take his life at any time, and it should be killed, but now it is different.
Looking at the lead of the barbarian is to look ahead, and then to look at the river behind, no one will be more anxious than him at the moment except for the guys who need to be saved in the water.
"Perhaps we should be merciful at this time." Looking at the barbarians struggling in the water from afar, Luga finally couldn't help but speak.
"What? I heard you right, Luga! Pointing to the fallen fellows, Arecio confronted Luga, "You have taken pity on them at this time, so why don't you see how much land they have destroyed here, how much food they have plundered, and how many people they have killed in them!" ”
"I know what you're thinking, Arecio!" Lu Jia said calmly: "But such an acceptance is conditional!" ”
"Condition!" Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at Luga, only to hear Luga say unhurriedly: "Now they are eager to save people, and we have to say that we now have an absolute advantage, and now, tell them that if they want to survive, they must believe in Christ and abandon the former gods." In return, we will save them, then place them in an abandoned village, and give them seeds and other plants to plant. ”
"And what if they don't say yes?" Arecio asked.
"Then we will quietly appreciate their suffering." Luga patted his leg armor and nodded at Andrew with a disapproving look.
Andrew understood, and then stepped forward to say a few words to the barbarian leader.
Who would have thought that this barbarian was also a man of temperament, and when he heard Andrew's proposal, he scolded and said a bunch of things that the Romans couldn't understand.
What did he say? Andrew. Luga asked not far away.
Andrew rode back at this time and said to Luga, "Unfortunately, Luga, they have expressed their willingness to give up everything for their Valhalla. Andrew shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It seems that they have no intention of giving up their faith. ”
"Then the people in this river will surely die." For a rare moment in cold blood, Luga crossed his right leg and sat on the back of his horse, watching as if admiring the scenery as if admiring the scenery, as if he were enjoying the scenery, and as if he were enjoying the view, he kept struggling in the water and cruising back and forth in the broken ice, and they cried out for help to the men on the shore.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, so he dropped the weapon in his hand and jumped off the icy water and swam towards the crying and struggling group.
Other women grabbed the broken ice and the unbroken ice and climbed up, soaking wet and shivering on the ice, not forgetting to save the drowning child.
There are constantly people sinking because of the undercurrent, and the undercurrent of the Rhine is surging, and if they are swept into it, they will be caught by the undercurrent like the claws of the devil, and then they will use up all the oxygen in their bodies and drown alive.
The leader of the barbarians was nearing the brink of collapse, and he pushed the others behind him and made a long detour on the still solid ice, shouting as he ran.
"It seems that he has been hit hard, or that his wife and children are in the river." Andrew craned his neck to look at the leader of the barbarians who were drifting away, "If his children or his wife die in this disaster, I'm afraid that if we don't kill him, he will be our enemy for the rest of his life." ”
Andrew said this, but Luga didn't say a word on the side, Andrew was a little curious, turned to look at Luga, and inevitably asked, "Luga, what are you thinking?" Andrew saw the hesitation in Lujia's expression, he immediately understood, and said to Luga with a smile: "I really didn't see it, after so much blood, you are a little hesitant, what, it seems that you still can't bear to see such a parting of life and death?" ”
"Oh no, it's not like that, Andrew!" Lu Jia hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he had drawn a line with soft-heartedness, "I just became a father, and sometimes I can't help but be soft-hearted when I see such a scene, and even think about what if it was my own child?" ”
"That's enough, so what are you going to do now?" Arecio looked at Luga coldly, "Are you going to save him?" Save a wolf that will eat you at any moment? ”
"Hey, I didn't say that!" Luga hurriedly shook his head, "How could I be so kind, forget it, I'll just turn my back." ”
Ten minutes later, a large group of damp victims were shivering and sitting around the already lit bonfire, including the wives and children of the barbarian leader who had desperately tried to save them.
"I really can't imagine why the hell you're doing that!" Arecio said indignantly behind Luga's back: "They are barbarians, they have come to plunder us, they have come to kill us!" Look what you did to save them! ”
Luga did not reply to Arecio's repeated questions, and without saying a word, he looked at the barbarian tribe that was repairing on the banks of the river, and then, as if after a clear discussion, the barbarian leader actually stood up, turned and went straight to Luga. He had a serious face, and his eyes were fixed on Luga, as if he were seeing someone who made him quite unhappy, but intentionally or not, Luga saw tears glistening in his eyes.
"What is he trying to do?" Andrew asked alertly.
"Hmph, do you think he'll be grateful to you? Stupidity! Arecio taunted, "Don't forget that you were the one who knocked them out of the water!" ”
"Cave Pass!"
To everyone's surprise, the barbarian leader actually knelt down in front of Luga. Everyone was amazed, and their eyes widened as they looked at the barbarian leader in front of them, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in this guy's gourd.
"There is no way back for my tribe, I surrender to you, Romans." The barbarian leader said little by little, in stiff Latin, "I know that I have killed many of you, but I am willing to repent to you with my life, if you can spare my people." ”
After saying that, I saw the barbarian leader lying on the ground, spreading his limbs, which was the most humiliating act when they surrendered, face down, at the mercy of others.
"Andrew." Looking at the leader of the barbarians who had surrendered under his feet, Luga beckoned Andrew to step forward.
"What, Luga." Andrew trotted over to Luga and asked, "Do you want me to kill him now?" ”
"No, you can't kill him!" Lu Jia looked at the subservient at his feet, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Take him to see the priest, especially the priest who knows Germanic language, the priest will enlighten him well, I promise!" ”
Hearing Luga say this, Andrew also smiled, he understood what Luga meant, so many years of cooperation have already made the two heart-to-heart connected.
"Okay, Luga, as you wish!" Andrew said, first stooping down to tie the barbarian's hands, and then taking it down.
