Milan's military camp in the city, which is located in the center of the city next to the Governor's Palace, is a huge military camp, and there is basically not much garrison force here in normal times, but after Andrew led Luga's legion to station, it was overcrowded, you said blocking, playing the Eagle Banner, the Eagle Banner Legion is no better than the regular legion, it is the pearl of the empire, and it is the most important bargaining chip for the empire to reason with the barbarians, why not be spoiled?

As the sun sets, the last rays of the sun disappear into the western horizon, and the entire continent of Europa is plunged into darkness, Milan has a curfew, and there is only one place in the darkness that is lit up like a huge bonfire. What are the rules of the curfew? What's that, it's just busy, it's all soldiers, and that's right, it's the overcrowded Milanese barracks.

Andrew was wearing a heavy cloak, and the temperature was still a little cold at night, and he paced back and forth in front of a group of soldiers, still waiting for the guy who was long late.

As the minutes ticked by, and knowing that it was getting dark, Andrew saw a torch in the street not far away, followed by two, three, four, four torches, and it was a patrol team, and they were slowly approaching here in a crowd of three people.

"Hey, Luga! Where have you been, how did you come back so late! It was late in the night, and Andrew watched as the two soldiers who had taken his command from the street swayed back down the street. Andrew was puzzled, so he wanted to ask Luga what was going on.

"Hey, don't mention it!" Luga took the herbs, waved his hand at Andrew, and then handed the herbs to Andrew and said, "Prepare these for Tenaia's mother, and let her eat what she should eat." ”

Andrew took the herb suspiciously, but through the firelight, he saw the torn clothes on Luga's chest, the scales that reflected the light. He stepped forward, grabbed the torn piece of cloth on Luga's chest, and asked loudly, "What's going on?" ”

"Oh, Andrew, don't panic!" Luga was deliberately covering up, he reached out to pull Andrew's arm away, but Andrew's hand seemed to have taken root in his chest, and Luga didn't even move it a few times.

"What the hell is going on, as your chief of guard, I have the right to know everything about this!" Andrew's expression was serious, and he seemed to be serious.

"Alright, alright, alright!" Luga put one hand on Andrew's shoulder and looked left and right, obviously feeling that such a topic was not suitable for this kind of talk here.

"Yes, Andrew, let's go inside." Luga pulled Andrew and walked into the barracks, poked out a head in the darkness behind Luga, faced the backs of Luga and Andrew, his eyes were cold, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Hey, Andrew, where are they placed?"

"Don't worry, they've all been arranged, and Tenaia has told me everything you met in Genoa." Andrew led the way in front of Luga and said: "That tribune named Alfonso really wants to do justice, but he is prejudiced against the nobility, which is not good for us, I am afraid that Alfonso will come to his senses, and then there will be more trouble, after all, he is a tribune, and he is still qualified to run for the seat of the Senate." ”

"Then what are you going to do, Andrew."

"I don't know, Luga." Andrew didn't stop, "So I just want to wait for you to come back and discuss this matter, after all, that guy named Alfonso doesn't sound like a good stubble from Tenaia's mouth." ”

"I don't know what to do, Andrew." Luga didn't take this Alfonso to heart at all. At the moment, he had more important things to deal with, and he had to come up with a solution for a short time.

"Oh, yes, Luga!" Andrew seemed to suddenly remember something, and he continued: "His Majesty Augustus Theodosius II has sent an envoy. ”

"Envoy? What envoy, what are you doing here? Luga was puzzled.

"You are familiar, Luga, who has been with us. He brought good news, but I don't know why I said it after I met you, but I think it must be very important. Andrew said, leading Luga up the stone staircase to the second floor and stopping at the first door on the second floor.

"The envoy is here!" Andrew said, opening the door and standing still.

"Oh, Andrew, it doesn't have to be so formal!"

Lu Jia said casually, after all, seeing that the envoy was important, he hurriedly walked into the house.

It was very empty, and the officer's room must have been bright, and it was very luxuriously furnished, with bookcases and flowers. The envoy sat on a stool in the middle of the room, with a silver goblet in his hand, and leaned back lazily in his chair with gray hair and a red toga robe until Luga came in and met him.

Sebas...... Sebastianus! Luga pondered for a moment whether he had called his name.

"Ha, I didn't expect you to remember me, Lord Luga." Sebastianus raised his glass to Luga, then raised his head to drink the wine.

"You, the envoy of the Eastern Empire?" Luga couldn't believe his eyes, he thought he must have seen something wrong, so he looked around, knowing that he couldn't see anyone else in the room.

"Of course, I'm here to assist you, Lord Luga, the adopted son of Augustus!" Sebastianus smiled, as if he was not guilty of Luga's rude expulsion. At this time, Luga was also different from the ambitious commander of the Ninth Legion in Athens, and this short period of half a year had smoothed out his sharpness, made him feel that he was much older, and of course he had learned the deceptive tricks of the nobles.

"Welcome, Sir Sebastianus." Luga approached and shook hands with the envoy of the Eastern Empire.

"How?" Sebastianus smiled and asked, "Why are you so friendly this time?" It's not like you at all! ”

"I was still young at that time, and I hope Your Excellency can forgive me for such an impertinent act." Luga smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly handed Sebastianus a glass of wine, so that it could be regarded as an official meeting with the envoy of the Eastern Empire. Sebastianus motioned for Luga to sit next to him, and said to him: "Your Excellency's outstanding performance in Great Sicily Augustus is already fully known, of course, about the negotiations at that time, when Hermanus also made a written report to Augustus, unfortunately, Your Excellency Luga, the rights and wrongs in this can not be explained in just a few words, and I hope Your Excellency can understand, but this time I bring you good news." ”

"What? Could it be that His Majesty Augustus is ready to give me a legion again? Luga asked.

"Augustus is very concerned about the province of Africa, where the Western Empire has fallen, so he intends to do his best to help your Excellency make up for the mistakes made in Great Sicily." Sebastianus said, took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Luga and said: "This is the list of generals sent by the Eastern Empire, and soon, Hermanus's combined fleet will transport tens of thousands of troops, Augustus hopes that Your Excellency can cooperate with these generals to take Great Sicily." ”

Luga took the parchment, carefully opened it, and read it carefully.
