A month later, the 10,000 recruits under the command of Aetius had been trained under the leadership of the barbarian generals, probably because of Aetius's presence on the scene.

For the training of soldiers and the cultivation of combat effectiveness, Aetius did not dare to relax for a moment. The pressure on Aetius from Luga and the Combined Legion of the Eastern Empire behind him was extremely great, and at the meeting at that time, Aetius had a faint feeling that the person sitting opposite him was not six people talking and laughing, but a giant as tall as the Alps, and he was at his feet, and if he wanted to be at eye level with this giant, he had to have the strength to compete with it.

However, that's a whole 100,000 people, even if you exclude the naval army that doesn't land and fight, that's a full 60,000 people, three times your own strength, isn't such a big pressure forcing yourself to start an arms race with the Eastern Empire!

"I thought that if I defeated Berniface, I would be invincible in the empire, but I was wrong, if I fell a Berniface, I would stand up with a more powerful opponent."

Aetius had to admit with a headache that the current Luga was far more difficult to deal with than the Berniface back then, so in the face of Luga, he could no longer be as-for-tat as he did with Berniface, because he didn't know what Luga wanted?

Today's training was as unremarkable as ever, and Aetius didn't sit idle to watch the fake scenes of fighting and killing. He had long since lost his interest, and as the day approached, his heart became more and more tormented, and he seemed to see the shadow of Berniface in that man.

"God doesn't want this guy to die like that, or does that guy not want to die like this and come back to life?" Unable to find an answer that would satisfy Aetius, he snorted and told himself in his heart that he needed to rest.

Got up, followed by the guards, unhurriedly returned to his own room in his camp, unlike before, there seemed to be two more guards in front of the door, without much thought, pushing open the door, only to find that there was one more person inside. The man sat in his chair and looked up at Aetius, who was sleepy-eyed and wondered how he could see the man in front of him.

"Am I on the wrong side?" With such a question in mind, Aetius widened his eyes and took a closer look, and couldn't help but say, "Remitius, what wind blew you here?" Aetius dozed off, and with a bored look on his face, he unfastened his cloak and set it up on the shelf beside him. Then he sat down on the bed and lay down, stretched his waist, and said in a lazy tone: "Say, you don't want to stay in Rome and mingle with your old companions, but you come to me, and you are the most familiar with me every day except my guards in my camp." Say, what have you brought me today? ”

"Ha, Lord Aetius!" Remitius shook his head with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "I have brought you the news, I am afraid that after your Excellency hears it, you will never have the time to sleep like this again!" ”

"Oh?" Aetius's eyes were slightly closed, as if Remitius's words had made him slightly interested, but there was something less like that. "Tell me, is it because your Senate disbanded because of disagreement, or because they hate you chattering old fellow and kicked you out! Oh, I'm afraid there's nothing more enjoyable than that, are you right? ”

"I'm afraid that after listening to what I said, Your Excellency won't be able to sleep this time!" Remitius looked confident, and he looked at Aetius lying on the bed with a smile on his face, which might have attracted Aetius's attention, just maybe.

"Speak!" Aetius didn't even open his eyes, he still lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Do you remember a close friend you had when you were hostage at the hands of the Hun chieftain Uldin?" Remitius asked.

"Attila?" Aetius slowly opened his eyes and muttered.

"Recently, I'm afraid that you, a Hun partner, are not so peaceful these days!" As he spoke, Remitius took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and put it on the table and pushed it to Aetius, saying, "If you want to know more, then look at what is written on it, it will be good for you, after all, this is the latest news." ”

"Wow!"

Aetius sprang up from his bed like a carp, and without saying a word of tiredness or exhaustion, he went straight to the table, took a bench and sat down, and then picked up the parchment and read it carefully, trying not to miss a single letter.

"Attila's army has attacked our border villages, and it cannot be ruled out that they can move south at any time." Remitius was still so unhurried and said: "Just go around the Alps and go south from the east, and then only ask which army can stop Attila?" At that time, the purple room will not be guaranteed, and you and I will be in danger! ”

"No, it won't!" Aetius said to himself, "With all I know about Attila, he can't just tear his face with us so easily. ”

"Oh my God! Lord Aetius! Remitius laughed and coughed, and only after he calmed himself down a little did he say slowly: "You have been dealing with that barbarian Attila for many years, and you can roughly know that he is greedy and demanding by nature. Wine, gold, beauty, land, nothing he did not desire. Now that the barbarians could no longer satisfy his greed, what reason did he have not to covet the rich land of the Empire? Your Excellency, let us not forget that the Empire is in their mouths, but everywhere there is wine and gold. ”

"So Attila could go south at any moment and threaten the Empire." Aetius looked at the parchment, and he folded it in half and put it down, thoughtful.

"Your Excellency is wondering how to talk to Flavies. Luga explains! ”

Aetius shook his head, and continued, "I am not dwelling on how to explain it to Luga, but I wonder why Attila would personally lead his army to sack a small village. Could it be that he can put it in his eyes in such a small village, isn't there something in it that attracts his attention? ”

Asking, Aetius looked at Remitius, who would have thought that Remitius was just like him, with a puzzled face, and could not get any answer. It's all a mystery, and no one can explain it.

"Lord Aetius!" Remitius stared at Aetius and said, "It's not that I'm asking you, it's His Majesty Augustus Valentinian who is calling you, go back and protect the Empire!" ”
