Chapter 501: Hijacking
The gate of the camp was slowly opened, and only a procession of wagons was seen following John. After Anthony's car was driven, they stopped in a clearing not far away, which Luga had specially arranged for them to be empty.
"Alright, kids, we're here!" John. Antiochus was very involved in the play, as soon as he got out of the carriage, he waved to the children in the carriage behind him, and they were greeted by big eyes looking around curiously.
"Oh, look at their fine-skinned and tender bunches!" The soldiers couldn't help but look at the young children, who didn't know anything, and it was probably because of their orientation that they became interested in the little ones they met for the first time.
The frivolous guys, the sound of pinching their throats and the expressions on their faces, shocked the students, who were huddled together like a flock of lambs, and retreated in front of the soldiers in front of them, looking at them with horror in their eyes.
"Hey, you guys!" At this moment, a Roman officer appeared to the students like a savior, and he stopped the frivolous soldiers.
Seeing the officer, these guys didn't dare to make a mistake, so they hurriedly lined up in a row and saluted the officer.
"They are the distinguished guests of our commander, and are you really not afraid that the soldiers will hang you up and whip you severely?"
In the face of the officer's reprimand, the soldiers looked extremely frightened, they couldn't help trembling, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to come out in the face of the officer's atmosphere.
"Don't get out of here!" The officer roared, and the soldiers fled like cowardly dogs with their tails between their legs.
This is really majestic, and the arrogant appearance of this officer is gradually growing in the eyes of these young men.
"Oh, don't be afraid, guys!" At this time, John. Antiochus seized the opportunity to hurriedly greet the frightened teenagers in front of him, and explained to them with a smile: "They just haven't seen new faces for a long time, so they feel very curious, and I hope you don't be surprised." β
After that, John. Antioch led the group onwards, skirting the sharpened wooden defenses, revealing a very flat and straight road lined with heavily armed soldiers, dressed in chain mail and freshly cleaned helmets, all dressed in brand-new formations before the academy children.
Accustomed to seeing the soldiers patrolling the streets, they wore clothes that were not as powerful as they were now. The most seen by these students are the personal guards in their own family.
Seeing such a well-equipped soldier for the first time, the children's eyes widened, and they looked the soldiers in front of them up and down, their eyes full of envy.
"Okay, kids, let me introduce you to all of you." John. Antiochus pointed to the soldiers on either side and introduced to the children behind him: "They are all warriors who participated in the war to recover Britannia, and I think if you ask them privately what kind of scenes you have experienced as participants in this war, they will be more than happy to tell you." β
Speaking of which, John. Antioch looked back and saw that the children's eyes were full of joy, a little nervous, and more anticipation.
"Of course, that's not the main problem!" John. Antiochus gave them a, and then led them onward, walking forward.
Luga sees John. Antiochus led the group of children as he walked and explained what was going on unhurriedly, expecting that things were almost ripe, so he whispered to Andrew, who was beside him, "Okay, now send a messenger to inform the parents of these children as quickly as possible." β
Andrew understood, and turned away, leaving only Luga and a stool in front of him.
"Okay, kids, now, it's my turn!" Luga rubbed his hands together and muttered to himself as he approached the group of people who were getting closer and closer.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was approaching evening, but how could Luga's story be so slight. He processed the story a little, how could a story of several years be told in half a day?
The children who were sitting listened in fascination, but they didn't know that there were more and more of their parents outside the camp gate. They were very anxious, and shouted outside the door to see their children, but even if they broke their throats, the soldiers on the gatehouse looked at them indifferently.
Some nobles even brought their own family guards, who stood under the city with swords and spears, and the personal guards of several families together made up more than 200 people, and they made a move to attack, but in the end they were still afraid of what Luga did and had to give up, and instead used repeated begging methods to hope that Lujia would release their "imprisoned" children.
"Luga! They're almost there! β
While Luga was telling the story, Andrew came up to Luga's ear and whispered to Luga.
Lu Jia listened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then asked some of the children in the audience who were still unsatisfied: "Okay, children, you have listened to it for so long, I have drunk all this pot of wine, and I don't know if you are hungry?" β
The children looked at each other and nodded at Luga.
"Good!" Luga smiled and said, "Then my adjutant will lead you to eat the food in our army, believe me, eat this, you can be as strong as us!" β
Such an obvious lie made these children believe the truth, maybe they were really hungry and couldn't care so much. Of course, Luga naturally did not treat them badly, he asked Andrew to take them to the back and let the man prepare some food for them, of course, it had to be the best, at least not to treat them badly, so that he could better discuss the price of food with their fathers.
Luga led Malenius and a group of soldiers to the gate tower unhurriedly, and saw that there were already crowds of people below, and the front were the personal guards of the nobles, who had even drawn their swords and clenched them tightly in their hands.
"Hey, Luga, tell me, is my son in your hands?"
"Oh, honorable Lord Luga, where have we offended Your Excellency, and what are the things we can still discuss well, so that we don't use this way."
"Flavies. Luga, you are a member of the Purple Family, and you used such a method, aren't you afraid that you will insult the dignity of the Flavis family? β
Facing the questioning of the nobles below, Lu Jia just sneered, these paper tigers will only succeed behind their soldiers.
"Of course, gentlemen!" Luga slowly spoke, "I think you are all wrong, because your children were invited by me to visit the barracks and experience the life of the army, I did not harm their practices and ideas, whether this will happen in the future, it depends on what everyone here does!" β
"Oh my God!"
Hearing Lu Jia's words, the nobles in the audience first exclaimed, and then whispered to each other.
"What is there to discuss about this?" Luga looked down and asked, "Are you naΓ―ve to think that you can get your children out by prayer and discussion?" β
"Then what do you want?" One of the nobles below couldn't help but asked.
"Knowingly ask!" Lu Jia sneered and said, "Grain, you maliciously raise the price of grain, I feel that we can discuss it here now." β
"Let me see my children first!"
"Let me see my children......" the nobles shouted.
"Enough!" Luga roared angrily and said to the nobles in the audience, "I hope you don't challenge my patience! Don't you like money very much, then I'll see if money is important, or if your children are important! β
