Chapter 40: What is a soldier?

They stood still, but the Hun next to Levi took an interest in me, rode out of the middle of the match, came to me, grinned, opened his mouth, and after a bunch of incomprehensible words, drew the scimitar at his waist.

The civilians around me stepped back and looked with great fear at the bright scimitar in the Hun's hand.

"Luga, stop making trouble, come back quickly!"

Andrew beckoned to me in the crowd, "Come back quickly, you're sending you to death like this!" Luga, come back quickly! ”

As Andrew's incessant urging slipped in my ears, I looked at the girl who had fainted on the side of the road, her blood in her lower body had merged into a small pool of blood. Her mother just hugged her and cried incessantly.

"She's still a child, she's pregnant! My child, you open your eyes and look at Mommy, look at me, look at me......"

The girl's eyes were still closed, motionless, and the mother's hoarse cry moved everyone, and some even hid their faces in the crowd and wept, but everyone looked helpless.

"Andrew, what if this girl is your relative?"

I pointed to the fainting girl and asked Andrew, "If she were your sister, or your girl, would you still be so indifferent?" ”

"Luga, that's not what I meant......"

"What's the point? Andrew, a soldier of the 7th Gemina Legion, a warrior of the Roman Empire! Didn't you take an oath to surround the subjects of the empire? ”

Andrew lowered his head, he was scolded by me, and now on the side of the road, he was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

"Me! Aurius. Luga! I jerked my head back and pointed my sword at the Hun riding in front of me, "I ask you to apologize to this girl and give her back what you stole from her!" ”

Well, I know it's as ridiculous as a lamb roaring at a pack of hungry wolves to let them put down the mutton in their mouths, but when I fired my bow and there was no turning back from the arrows, I watched the cavalry that followed the Hun behind me ride their horses in a row, their sharp spears pointing downward, pointed straight at me. They stopped where they were, waiting quietly for the sabre-wielding Hun to give the order, and then marched forward together.

Looking at the Hun cavalry with the spears, I felt as if I had returned to the moment when I had been besieging the city yesterday, and the face of the Burgundian boy appeared before me again, and he was now probably burned to ashes by the fire. And how similar his actions were to me now, trembling, I don't know if it was because of anger or fear. I can't say clearly, maybe I shouldn't have just stepped into this mess of troubled waters, but overall, I just can't get angry, and I won't regret what I just said!

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the line of Hun cavalry was about to charge with their guns raised, a shout stopped them. I followed the voice, but I didn't expect it to be the bastard Levi, but I saw him ride up to the Hun and whisper a few words to him, and the Hun smiled and nodded his head again and again. It seems that he had sought the consent of his Hun master, and at the order of the Hunnarian, his cavalry put away their upright spears and rode back. I saw that the Hun nodded at Levi, and Levi understood, turned over and dismounted and walked in front of me.

"Aurius. Luga. Levi said slowly: "Who instructed you to come and provoke?" ”

"Provocation?"

It seemed ridiculous to me, and I laughed out loud, "For the sake of a silver ring, your soldiers beat this girl like this, and you didn't take the lead at all?" And you, you took the Huns into the city to loot the people's wealth, have you considered that you are a Roman soldier? ”

"I have thought about it," Levi looked at me expressionlessly and said slowly, "Of course I have thought about it, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here." ”

"So you're just going to leave without looking back? Do you just watch the people of the Empire you swore to defend being beaten to death by you? ”

"I don't have a choice." Levi shook his head.

"So what are you doing here? Oh, I see, you're going to teach your master a good lesson, am I? As I spoke, I stepped forward with my sword in my hand, and faced Levi with my head held high, looking at this traitor to the Romans who bullied the weak and feared the hard, I really couldn't say how to describe myself now. I feel like I can stand up my chest and be as confident as a human being in the face of him!

"What is yes and what is not?"

Levi drew his sword and pointed it at me and said, "I know you are indignant about this now, but there is no way, these are just the small things you see in the ordinary, since you can't be angry, then I'll try to shut you up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Levi lean over, and in an instant, he rushed towards me like a whirlwind.

I screamed damn and swung my sword in a hurry.

"Bang!"

I thought this guy was just a dog wagging its tail behind Aetius, and it should be a lazy look, but now I realized that I was wrong, this guy was shaking me in pain with such a heavy blow, but he felt like he hadn't been hurt in any way.

"I'm just warming you up, boy, are you sure you want to continue?"

Levi weighed the iron sword in his hand, and made a move that he was eager to try, and the Hun masters behind him clapped their hands and cheered for him again and again behind Levi. It's not surprising that the Romans fought the Romans, isn't this the situation they want to see? But this Levi enjoyed it, and his actions had to make me feel helpless. Since he willingly wanted to be a traitor to the Romans, then I, as a Roman, have a reason to get rid of this pest for Rome!

"How?" Seeing that I was a little hesitant, Levi straightened up and pointed his sword at me, and said with a mocking expression: "What's the matter, you guy with a sense of justice? Just such an insignificant dismount will wear away the sharpness you just had? ”

"Shut up! You traitor to the Romans! You are not worthy to be a soldier of Rome! ”

"Oh my God, Luga, what are you going to say!" Andrew opened his mouth, his surprised expression, which seemed to be frightened by my outrageous words, and he hurriedly said to me, "Luga, let it go, you've done enough!" ”

"Me?" Levi pointed to himself and looked at me, his eyes full of mockery, "Say I'm not worthy of being a soldier, so are you worthy?" Mercenary! ”

"Fuck off!"

I never thought that this guy would be so shameless in pretending to be a grandson to the Huns in front of so many people, I really can't stand it! I roared, raised my Spada sword, and lunged at the traitor to the Romans!

"That's not enough!"

Levi shouted, dodging the sword I stabbed, and the first time it was empty, I was not reconciled, and suddenly raised the sword, and slashed in the direction he was dodging.

"When!"

The swords collided again, and the force was so great that sparks burst on the blade, and the traitor was knocked back several steps in a row because he was in too much of a hurry to block the ground.

"Wow, you guy!"

The traitor breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this hard next step would not be easy. "Looks like you're planning to play with me for real, aren't you?"

"Nope! I'm just teaching you how to be a qualified Roman soldier? ”

"Ha, Roman soldiers!" Levi smiled, fiddling with the iron sword in his hand, which had already been cut with many cracks, "Even if it doesn't work, it won't be your turn to be a mercenary." ”
