Chapter 49: The Veteran

When I saw this veteran, I seemed to see the old scum, the father and son in Germany, and then the faces on the German battlefield and the Ukrainian battlefield flashed in my mind, and after all, I saw Alexander.

My eyes were dark, I only felt that my body shook a few times, and in the next second, I was supported by someone, and I held Leon in my hand, I just wanted to say thank you, but I felt that my mouth was sweet, and I subconsciously spurted out a mouthful of blood, and my physical strength was quickly evacuated with the departure of blood, and my knees were subconsciously soft.

Dark red blood spurted to the ground, and a scream immediately rang in his ears.

"Prince!"

"Quick! go to the Grand Palace to find a doctor!"

"What are you doing in a daze?!" Leon handed me to one of the guards beside him and pulled out his waist card, "I am the chief of the palace guard!

I took a deep breath, and suddenly, I felt much more relaxed.

"Leon, I'm fine. ”

"But you vomited blood just now!! you shouldn't have come out in the first place! You must know that your injuries are not completely healed! If you continue like this, when will you be able to return to the battlefield?"

"I told you I was fine!" I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with my sleeve and pushed away one of the guards beside me.

Before his death, my grandfather said that the most glorious thing in his life was not to be a prince, not to be a Caesar, not to defeat the Muslims again and again, and to plant the imperial flag on their sultan's palace. None of this compares to the people who shouted "Charge" as he charged. Glory to Caesar!" slogan ran faster than the Imperial soldiers.

It is these simple people who have continued the empire to the present, and these people are the most valuable treasure of the entire empire, but now! I saw the fool, the Clemmons house, and I vaguely remember where I had seen his face, anyway, the one who came out to give us the Seofano family a great presence when he attended a large imperial gathering, and also saw clearly that the woman who the idiot said he wanted to keep his gentlemanly demeanor was very beautiful, so it was for a woman. A beautiful woman trampled on such a respectable person to the point of heartbreak and cried!

"I do need a doctor, though. ”

The old vigilante needs a skilled doctor. But now is not the time to leave. Turning to look at the Clemmons family, he glanced coldly at the heir of the Clemmons family next to him, the face. I remembered!

The heir of the Clemmons family stood in place with a complicated expression. His eyes were full of apprehension.

Soon, the apprehension in his eyes quickly turned to fear, and it deepened with each step I came closer, and by the time I was only a few steps in front of him, his hands were shaking, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

But I'm not targeting him yet.

The Russian woman, very young and beautiful. I'm one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in this world, and I don't have a computer here. In the world without the Internet, such a beautiful woman is enough for all men to give everything they have to have her body.

The Russian woman rolled her seductive eyes, smiled, and stretched out her hand over the lace glove...

I glanced at the hand, lifted my eyelids to meet the amber eyes, and slapped her little hand off, and she fell to the ground in shock.

"What are you doing?!" a Russian squire rushed up.

I raised my hand and drew Leon's handcuff and shot the Russian squire in the eyebrow.

The huge body fell with a bang, and there was silence all around.

"Woman, now, the land where your feet stand is called Rome, and I don't care how many Russians you kill with a carriage on Russian soil, because that's your people, it's none of my business. But now, since you are on the land of our Rome, then remember that the Roman Empire is not the Kingdom of Russia, and all the Romans here are under the protection of the Code of Justinian the Great, and anyone who harms them must be held accountable!"

I turned my head to look at the Roman nobleman who was present, and threw the gun back to Leon: "The Clemmons family! Your Clemmons family is so bold! What a courage! That momentum, even I can't help but be shocked when I see it." ”

"Don't dare, Your Highness. The man said in a trembling voice.

"Why don't you dare! Didn't you just do a good job!" I said through gritted teeth, "Let me think, today for the sake of a Gentile woman, to bully an imperial veteran, and tomorrow for the sake of the Gentile promise of glory and riches, will you even abandon the status of a Roman?"

"I won't, I don't, Your Highness, I won't. ”

"Won't it?" I couldn't hold back the anger in my chest the more I spoke, his neck, his face, all his parts tempting my fists and rage, "the truth is right in front of me!"

"Your Highness spares your life!" the man knelt on the ground, trying to crawl out, "I'm going to apologize, I'm going to apologize immediately!!"

"Hang him?" Leon stepped forward from behind, holding him down.

"I just heard you mention the Emperor, didn't I?"

It is understandable that a man likes the face and sexy carcass of a beautiful woman, but to give up principles and morals for the sake of the so-called gentlemanly demeanor can only be regarded as an animal! Because trying to sleep with a beautiful woman tramples on the dignity of a patriot who has devoted his life to this country, and it makes me sick to think about it!

"Yes. When the man heard this, sweat broke down on his forehead.

"Come up! I can't hear clearly!" was pierced by the cold gaze and took half a step back, seeing that my face was gloomy, and his eyes glanced to the side as if he were helping, but here, he had no help, so he had to walk up hard.

"Moreover, you also said that the emperor agrees with your approach very much?"

The other party's face turned pale and he spoke incoherently: "Your Highness, Your Highness, yes." ”

"Good. ”

I stretched out my hand and slapped it, and the nobleman crouched on the ground with a scream, his mouth tilted to one side, and a few drops of blood flew out of the distance, not strong enough to pull out all his teeth.

Looking at the snot and tears on his face, the blood at the corners of his mouth couldn't stop flowing, and I said, "I told you, if the emperor is here, he will do it, now, you roll over for me." ”

The aristocrat, who was honestly frightened, was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he crawled over from the ground, this person really made me sick, this time, it was my turn to kick over: "It was the emperor's just now, and this time it's mine." ”

"He, take it back and let the judge deal with it slowly. Without looking at the sheriff, I walked over and crouched down beside the old sheriff.

Glancing at the whiplash wound on the old man's back, I endured it for a long time before I went back and killed the sheriff, because the damage done by the Muslims was far less than the damage caused by our own people

I took off my coat and put it over the other person's back.

What's the point of doing that?

Some covered them, at least I didn't have to see them, at least I could feel better, even if those few lashes were so glaring that they were like they were whipped in my face, and my face was so hot and painful!

"I'm sorry, I'm late...", and I could only say something like this, "Stand up, you were and are still the defender of Rome, stand up, warriors, don't let those barbarians from the west underestimate our warriors!"

The old man on the ground trembled slightly, "I am still the defender of Rome?... Can I still fight for the Empire? I'm old, I'm gasping for breath even a little longer, the army doesn't want me....I'm too old to do anything."

Hearing this whisper, I had the urge to cry, desperately held back, tears did not come out of my eyes for a long time, he reminded me of the dead old guy, that guy must be similar to this veteran, hating the years, time makes them old, no longer strong, not even a horse, can only look at the sky every day, can do nothing.

"You are the defender of Rome, it was, it is, it is, it will always be, and Rome will never dislike and forget the warriors who fought for her. Also, you forgot, you just taught several Russians in the prime of life by yourself. So, stand up, warriors, defenders of Rome, you have shown those hateful Russians that even an old Roman can fight three at a time! You should be proud! Puff up your chest with pride!

"Veteran?ah, I'm a veteran! I'm a soldier!!" The old man on the ground looked up at this time, his old face showed layers of old wrinkles because of the pulling of facial muscles, and he wiped away his tears: "Yes, I can't disgrace the empire, I am a Roman Empire, I should be proud! Puff up my chest proudly! As the pride of a Roman, I must stand up, young man, borrow a hand, okay, don't help me, just lend a handle." ”

I was supposed to say something, I wanted to express a lot, but I opened my mouth and found that my throat was blocked, and I put a hand on him. The old man's hands were unusually strong, he took my hand, it was a calloused hand, he shook it a few times, and then slowly stood up on his own. Looking at the old man who was gradually looking up above my head, this was also a stubborn and stubborn old man, very similar to the old fellow, and very similar to his guards.

These are the Romans of our previous generation, and the guardians of this land!

Stubborn, proud, although they have such a bad and that is not, but it is undeniable that their love for this country is deep, deep!

"I'll be back on the battlefield, now I need a soldier, are you willing to give your life again for the Empire?"

"I heard you're Prince Nikephoros?"

"Yes. ”

"Then I do!" (to be continued......)
