"Honor, dreams, no, no, no, it's not that complicated. Ustan waved his hand: "I want to live, and I want my brothers to live, so I have to kill them!

"We seek honor, but only if we are alive. When you die, everything loses its meaning, and only when you live can there be hope!"

Seeing the girl's surprised look, Ustan took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I may have ruined your image of a hero by saying this, but that's the truth. ”

"Please call me Julia, Julia Antonio, that's my name. Julia said softly, "My teacher told me that when both parties recognize each other's names, they can understand each other and respect each other, like friends rather than etiquette. ”

"As you wish...... Miss Antonio. Ustan pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"Can you tell me a little bit about your experience? Konstantin. Julia asked in a low voice, "For example...... A little story about the war or something? Or your heroic deeds, can you tell me? It's just a small talk between friends. ”

"War?short story?weishenme, are you interested in these?" Ustan looked at the girl with great puzzlement: "What is war?

"Hmm...... ......The girl was a little stunned, and then said with a smile: "It should be a contest between justice and evil, a great style of sacrificing oneself for the sake of our people and country!"

"Kill. Ustin's cold tone made the girl tremble: "War is murder." ”

"You've never been to the battlefield, so you may have some curiosity, some beautiful ideas, but those are nonsense!" Ustan said coldly: "If one day you have the opportunity to go to war, you will understand the beauty of peace!"

"There are probably a lot of good soldiers who are eager to prove their abilities. But all those who have experienced the war will have a great disgust for that place! When you see the brothers who ate and slept and trained with you, criing and wailing on the battlefield with stumps and broken arms, and blood soaked the soles of your shoes, will your good expectations still exist? You can run away or use all your strength to kill the executioner who killed your brother! and ...... You yourself have become an executioner, this is war, we are all sinners, but we want peace more than anyone else!"

"In that case, then you still want to join the army?

"Because it's late. Ustadin said: "Here, and outside are completely different shijie...... No one can understand that when one foot is in the door, there is no chance to turn back!"

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but please understand that we are completely two shijie people. Ustan stood up and walked to the door with his back to Julia: "Maybe it won't be long before I'll go from a living person to a pile of ashes!

With that, Ustan opened the door and strode in, never looking back.

"Ustin?"

At the table, Febius watched suspiciously as his son walked in sullenly, sat down across from him, picked up a glass of water and took a sip: "Where's Julia, aren't you going to have dinner together?"

"She's gone. Ustan wiped his mouth and waved his hand a little casually: "Just now, she left by herself." ”

"How does it feel? This is a good girl, and your mother likes it, and she is of good birth and virtuous character. Febius looked at him with a smile: "You're an adult too, it's time to find a family!"

"A naïve fellow who is full of illusions about war!" Ustan replied casually: "There is no hurry for this kind of thing, I am still young, and it will be too late in a few years." ”

"In a few years, the good girl will be robbed by someone else's house!" A middle-aged woman came over with two plates and looked at Ustan complainingly: "I don't want to wait until I am sixty years old to see my son still worrying about marriage!"

"You're still so direct. Ustan whispered, "Mom." ”

"How come our General Konstantin has time to come back today?" The woman touched Ustan on the head and sat between the two of them lovingly: "I don't say hello when I come back suddenly, I should hold a banquet for you, so that you can find a suitable person you like with peace of mind!"

"No, I'll leave tomorrow morning. An embarrassed smile appeared on Ulstein's face: "I still have to report to the barracks, and all officers only have such a day off." ”

"Is it already settled?" asked Febius without looking up. As a well-known professor at Caesarea Academy, he had also heard about this decision.

"The first legion is all dispatched, this time the enemy is not as good as the last time, it is a powerful army that really has the potential to threaten the north!" Ustan nodded: "Caesar's messenger has been sent, and the dependent territories of Rome will also be among the conscriptions, and all the liliang have been mobilized!"

"O Almighty Juno, why is there another war again?!" the woman was surprised: "Weishenme must go? The Constantine family has already contributed a commander to Rome, and Weishenme has to contribute another soldier?"

"Mother, you can't say that!" Ustan said loudly: "The Konstantin family is known for being close to the people, and your words like this will damage the image of our family outside!"

"What to say outside, I don't need you to teach me yet!" the woman glared, pinched Ulstan's ear fiercely, and let go of her hand with satisfaction after seeing the other party's tangled and painful face.

"Besides, this time it wasn't without rewards. Ustan rubbed his ears and pursed his lips: "After this battle, I can get at least thirty pounds of spices, and a lot of vegetables and crop seeds, and I can also subsidize the family, didn't my father always want to grow something else?"

"Don't worry, our Ulstein is only the co-captain of an auxiliary wing, and he won't encounter any too dangerous situations. Febius comforted: "He only needs to be behind the infantry phalanx and command the ballistas and sappers!"

However, this did not bring much comfort to the woman, and with a worried look on her face, she folded her hands and prayed reverently: "Please bless my child, O god of heaven!"

It's late at night.

....................................

In the early morning, the mist still shrouded the sleeping Caesarea, and the whole city was gray, and only a faint glimmer of morning light could be seen.

Ustan dressed up, his sword strapped to his body, tiptoed, crept out of the room, and carefully hung the door.

"Are you leaving?"

Febius stood in the small vegetable patch in the courtyard, with a hoe in his hand, dressed like an old peasant. A little flabby looked at Ustan with a smile, and there was a hint of helplessness on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your mother? ”

"If you wake her up, that's what makes her the most sad, so let's just say goodbye. Ustan shook his head and walked over to Febius and sat down: "Father!"

"My good son, Ustan . The middle-aged man bent down slightly, patted his straight back gently, and looked into those bright eyes: "Like a Roman soldier, but also like a man from the Constantine family!

"You're a lot like your uncle, both of them are the kind of real soldiers, although ............ There may be a slight difference in bearing, but they are all real Roman soldiers. The military camp and the battlefield are your destination, this complicated and naïve shijie is really not suitable for you, you are destined to rise and fall in glory and burden in this life. ”

"I'm not like Ryan and I, but I'm also in the blood of the Constantine family, so I can understand some of your thoughts, and of course it could be that I'm making a fool of myself. Febius laughed at himself: "So I won't stop you, you should have your future! Maybe it was the right decision in my life to let you join the army, you are eager to protect, and Rome also needs more soldiers like you who know this, it just complements each other, doesn't it?"

"Father......" Ustan said with some emotion, and then pulled the corners of his mouth: "I thought it would be ...... Thought it was ......"

"Think I'm here to stop you, like your mother?" said Febius with a smile, "Your mother loves you very much, and she doesn't want anything to happen to you." Me too, but I want my son to find his future, even if it will cost me a lifetime, but at least neither of us will regret it!"

"In Sparta...... Oh, maybe you've already heard the story of mothers who hand their children their shields to him before they go on a campaign and tell him a word. Febius said, "Either come back with it or lie down on it!"

"This story is very inspiring, but it is a little cold-blooded and has no family flavor. The middle-aged man sighed with emotion: "I will only tell you one thing, no matter what, whether you run away, die on the battlefield or go to get the glory that attracts the attention of the world, you must not regret what you have done! If so, then everything will lose its meaning!"

..................

"Don't stay a little longer?"

Belisarius, who was guarding the door, chuckled and said, "It's possible that I'll never see each other again in my life." ”

"No, it won't. Ustan shook his head and strode over: "I will come back, and when the war is over, I will come back with glorious exploits!"
