Valentinian, who had always boasted of being the master of the Four Realms in Ravenna, suddenly fell silent when Attila was close at hand, and this guy had once again made the mistake of dropping the chain at a critical moment.

Of course, people have long been accustomed to his cowardice, I don't know when it began, probably in the time of Honorius, the Roman Senate was already disappointed in Augustus, after all, there is really not much gap between Valentinian and Honorius now, at least in the mediocre aspect.

The news of the assault on Milan soon spread throughout the Apennines and cities, and everyone was terrified, fearing that when they opened their eyes, Attila would already be standing outside the city.

No one wants to repeat the mistakes of Milan, and of course the Romans know the lessons of the past, and they clearly understand that strong walls cannot stop Attila, only strong field legions and good commanders, but where are the legions and commanders?

It was not only the eminent members of the Senate who were in constant fear in the city of Rome, but also the pagan in the Holy See, who was a headache for the pagan who did not believe in Christ at all.

Aetius had not heard of the support of the central government for a long time, and he did not know what he was doing in Ludinand, and Leo also learned from his courtiers from Ravenna that Aetius had almost broken with Valentinian because of his inexplicable conceit.

Aetius was not a man who liked to lose his temper, and if he did, I am afraid that Aetius's Gallic reinforcements would not have come.

Leo had to think of a better way, and at this time he thought of Luga, who was far away in Constantinople, and now that there was no longer an officer who had the courage to confront Attila, he was forced to make such a decision.

The letter he handed to Luga reads:

"Augustus, the great Roman of the East, now that Attila has forgotten the humiliation of his defeat and has set foot on Roman soil again, his horse's hooves full of flames and destruction everywhere he goes, and even the strong and tall walls of Milan cannot stop the hooves of Attila's horse. Attila galloped with recklessness, creating smoke to obscure the eyes of God so that God could not see clearly in the mortal world, and he commanded the soldiers to roar loudly and angrily, and the deafening howls covered the ears of God so that he could not hear the prayers of the purest and most devout believers in the Eternal City, therefore, my friend, I beg you to send your legions in Constantinople and tell God about it, beg for mercy from God, and send an army to support Rome quickly, Save it from the fate of Dido's kingdom. (Dido's kingdom, which means Carthage.) ）

Leo then sent the fastest horse in Rome to deliver the letter to the port, and then headed east with the fastest ship.

Seeing that Attila's army was about to cross the Tiber, the army of the Neapolitan region was not ready to assemble, not because there was not enough money and armaments, but because the Central Field Army was not only officers but also ordinary soldiers, and they did not have the courage to face Attila's iron hooves.

The Huns' army was advancing south across the Tiber River at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and Valentinian panicked, and he ordered a state of emergency for the whole of Ravenna, and all the money and wood and stone were used to strengthen the walls and prepare armaments, so that Valentinian himself could look more confident.

For half a month, it is hard to imagine that the messenger arranged by Leo could speak the letters from Rome to Constantinople around the clock.

By the time I saw the Pope's distress cry with my own eyes, the entire council chamber had already exploded, and now, the main line, led by Innobinders and Artilius, had completely gained the upper hand.

The Pope himself spoke, for the integrity of Christendom and the absolute safety of the Eternal City, it is the will of the people to send troops, as long as Attila is defeated again, then he will be able to establish supremacy in the entire Roman world and even Christendom, and it is likely that Luga will be pushed to the altar on the same level as Augustus Octavian.

Even when the officers and politicians were spitting and spitting, Luga sat on the throne and didn't say a word, just let them quarrel.

Lickinia, who was sitting on the side, looked at Luga frequently, and stroked her slightly bulging belly, her face was full of doubts, for some reason, Luga became more and more silent during this time, and there was no appearance of the past.

As an intermediary, Luga can't stand on the two sides of the current opposite, he should think from the perspective of the big picture, even Leo's letter for help can't make him lose his sense of sober judgment.

"Caesar, this is called a problem, let you decide!"

Seeing that his mouth was dry because of the quarrel over this matter, Jovian himself had no strength, but for the main battle faction in front of him, he had no room for persuasion, so he simply waved his hand and invited out Luga, who was sitting there.

When he heard the call, Luga came back to his senses and looked up at the people in front of him, who also looked at Luga, wanting to see which side Luga could choose.

"Do you know exactly what Attila is going south for? Also, how many of them are there? Luga asked Innobinders unhurriedly.

"It should be Rome, Caesar, according to the information shared, Attila's army is no less than 40,000 people." Innobinders replied without hesitation. "After all, Gaisaric also attacked the city of Rome at the beginning, which is a symbol of the empire, and the capture of Rome is a supreme shame to the empire, so Attila will inevitably give priority to attacking Rome."

"The Eternal City is eternal and immortal, but in just a few decades, it is in crisis again." Luga let out a cold laugh as his fingers tapped on the handrail, "It seems that it was a very wise decision to rebuild the wall, but now it looks like where Attila's army has been, and what the hell is Aetius doing with Ravenna's Central Field Army, especially Aetius." ”

"The Central Field Army has not heard of any signs of a sortie until now." Attilineus continued, "It must be Valentinian who decided to abandon Rome and protect Ravenna's safety, after all, the capital of Milan has fallen, and Valentinian wants to abandon the Eternal City to protect Ravenna from threat." ”

"He's just protecting himself." Luga raised his head and interrupted Attilineus, "Even Augustus, who is a Roman, has given up the Eternal City himself, and there is no need for us to go on an expedition to support, after all, the journey is long, and it is impossible for the army to arrive and enter the battle all the way, if it is caught off guard by Attila, then there will be nothing left of the newly formed belongings." ”

Luga's analysis kept the officers present speechless, and they could even hear that Luga was still a little biased about not sending troops.

"But we should save the God-blessed city." Not reconciled, Innobinders stood up and said loudly: "We need at least some other way to respond to His Holiness the Pope than to choose to stand by and watch." ”

"So long, as I said before." Luga's face was calm, "Attack Dacia and put pressure on Attila from the rear, so that he has no confidence to attack." So, who of you here would like to go? ”

"I'll go!"

Before the other officers could react, Andrew stood up and walked in front of Luga.

"Andrew?" A hint of surprise flashed across Luga's face. Likinia beside him glared at Andrew even more viciously, wondering what this guy wanted to do!
