Chapter 244: See the Army

Having said all this, it is nothing more than to let Luga know that he is still a useful person.

Lu Jia thought to himself, this is not impossible, after all, it is good to have one more strategist, but it is not clear how many catties and taels this guy has.

However, it seems that this guy knows a little about the legion that Luga is about to have, which does make Luga a little puzzled, what is this guy? More and more mysterious.

"We really don't know each other, and besides, I don't need anyone just yet." In the face of such a self-recommendation, Lu Jia couldn't afford it for a while, after all, he was such an old person, and Lu Jia really couldn't speak.

Sebastianus's eyes flashed with a hint of loss, but he wasn't one to give up easily. He is also a nobleman, and he is also a soldier who was once brilliant.

"You need it, Lord Luga! I've been an experienced officer for more than ten years, and your legion needs an experienced officer like me to manage it! Sebastianus looked up, his eyes fixed on Luga, who had never seen such a look before, tough, undaunted, and gave him no reason to refuse.

"And, I want to go home!" Sebastianus's tone was heavy, and his eyes were full of tears, as if he was about to cry, and Luga couldn't see this.

This reminded him of his nervousness when he applied for the job, and when he saw that the interviewer didn't even dare to raise his head, he thought that if he competed for himself with the same decisive and unrepudiable tone as Sebastianus in front of him, then life would be much better!

"Leave him alone!" Lu Jia thought silently in his heart, "Maybe he still has a lot to learn from me, at the very least, he needs to learn how to manage an integrated field army." ”

"Of course, Lord Luga!" Sebastianus looked at Luga, slowly took out a scepter from behind him, and showed a parchment letter to Luga: "Although this legion is for your use, but without a scepter, how can you dispatch the army?" ”

"Damn! It turns out that this old guy still has such a hand! Lugar was suddenly covered with black lines, and had to look embarrassed to accept the scepter and the letter in Sebastianus's hand.

"This is the order that Theodosius II asked me to pass on to you before he left, and I am responsible for conveying it to you, Luga." Sebastianus changed his relaxed attitude, but instead raised his head, showing his arrogant appearance to the fullest. "Strictly speaking, I am your guide, Augustus knows that you have no experience in leading troops, so let me assist you, and I will be by your side until you can take care of one or several legions on your own!"

"Damn, you take it out early, I won't take you away!" Lu Jia looked at the old thing's appearance and was even more angry, no way, the backstage was hard enough, and he did it.

"Okay, you can come with me, but if you fall behind, I won't wait for you!" At this point, Luga still pretended to show him his "domineering and cold" appearance, in order to deter him and tell him that although I am young, I am the real boss.

This did not seem to have much deterrent effect on the scheming Sebastianus, who immediately restrained the tears in his eyes, only grinned and showed his yellowed teeth, and solemnly saluted Luga: "As you wish, Captain!" ”

It was much quicker to change his words, Luga thought to himself, and got out of the carriage without looking back.

Two days later, Luga and Andrew appeared outside the city of Athens, which was no longer a Greek city-state, but had been conquered for hundreds of years, and had long since faded the color of the city-state and became a city in the Roman Empire.

It is blessed with a unique port, leading to Asia Minor to the east, to Jerusalem and even Egypt, and to the west is Greater Sicily and Carthage, which can keep up with the situation of the whole Mediterranean.

"I have been in exile since my defeat at the hands of Aetius, and all these years have spent all my years traveling between the Peloponnese and Constantinople." Sebastianus was very familiar with this place, he stood at the gate of Athens, the gray stone walls seemed to have not been repaired for a long time, because how many years had passed, the civil war had not happened here, the barbarians had not reached here, there was nothing worth defending them at all. But the dock here was an indispensable military base of the Empire, so it was full of life, large and small merchant ships, all kinds of warships, crammed the sea outside Athens.

"The boys of your legion are all recruited locally and have undergone rigorous training, except for no actual combat experience, the others are not far from the mature field legions." He was worthy of being the guide sent by Theodosius II, and he knew more about this news than Luga, and even made Luga feel that this legion had nothing to do with him, because as the commander of the legion, he didn't know anything about his legion, and it really made people blush to say this.

Sebastianus led Luga and his party to the harbor outside the city, where there was a huge military camp, like a fortress.

"The townspeople jokingly called this the Fort of Athens because it had been built for a long time, and it was here that the young men of the Peloponnese joined the army and set off from here to wherever the empire needed it." Sebastianus said as he came to the door of the camp.

"Who?"

The guards on the tower above the gate drew their darts and fixed their eyes on the group of men and horses below.

"I am your new Legion Commander, Aurius. Flavis. Luga! Luga looked up and shouted to the vigilant soldier, afraid that he would not believe him, and then raised the scepter in his hand to prove it to him.

"Hey!" The soldier shouted into the camp behind, "Outside there is a man who claims to be the commander of our legion, and he has a scepter in his hand. ”

………

After tossing back and forth for more than half an hour, the gate of the camp finally opened to Luga and his party.

Behind the open door, the first thing I saw was a large number of soldiers hurrying back and forth, disheveled and disheveled, running as if looking for their own team. However, to Luga's surprise, the moment the gate opened, the chaos disappeared, and in its place was a neat phalanx of 100 people, all of whom looked at Luga at 45 degrees, as if they were being inspected by the new commander.

If it weren't for the dust that had not cleared from the run, Luga would have really mistakenly felt that he had just been dazzled. Riding forward, looking at the disheveled group of soldiers, Lugargin wanted to look back at Sebastianus, who had been hiding in the car in the first place, and let him see if this was the unit he said was not much different from the regular field army.
