There were simply not enough supplies on the pirate ship, and in order to ensure the mobility of the warship, the pirates often gave up all meaningless supplies, leaving only water and some weapons to use to capture the ship.

Luga divided the water among the soldiers, so that they could regain their strength for a while. After more than a day of wandering, the water was not enough for everyone, and they could only be thirsty, and paddling the oars from time to time.

"We, when will we arrive?" Luga hoarsely asked Beria.

It was noon the next day, and the sun was scorching overhead, and the soldiers and officers had no strength to paddle because of thirst and dehydration, and they lay on the boat.

"I don't know, I don't know." Berialiu pursed his chapped lips and said weakly: "According to common sense, we should have reached the area under the jurisdiction of our navy, but I didn't even see a single warship, it seems that God is dozing off and destined to forget us!" ”

Even Berialius said such depressing words, and Luga didn't know what to do, so he struggled to do it, and muttered, "I hope luck doesn't go back like this, maybe there is hope!" ”

As soon as he looked up, he saw a cruising warship not far away, and the sails on it were depicted with the symbol of the Roman Rabelin flag, which must be the Roman warship!

"Oh, as if God is not asleep!" Luga whispered, smiling unconsciously.

The warship dragged the pirate ship back to Syracuse, and as soon as he landed, Luga hurried to the governor's palace, but as soon as he reached the door, the guard at the gate said to Luga: "My lord, two days ago, an official of the court came to the door, meaning that he wanted to see you and had something very important to report to you. ”

"Where is he now?" Luga asked.

"Mansion."

"Okay, I got it!" Luga nodded, ignoring the embarrassment on his body, and hurried through the door.

"We've only been away for a short time, and now someone from the court is coming, what does this mean? Luga. Andrew asked behind Luga's back.

"I don't know about this, I only know that since it is a palace official, it must be Augustus's business."

So saying, when they came to the council hall, they saw a man sitting there in a daze, dressed in the clothes of an emissary, with a short-sleeved shirt, and a set of breastplate armor and a helmet on the table beside him, which was the armor used by the emissary.

"Your Excellency!" As soon as he entered the door, Luga called out to the man.

The man heard the voice and hurriedly turned his head, and Luga saw his face clearly, and it turned out that he was John. Antioch.

"What's wrong, John?" Luga walked in quickly, found a jug of wine, had just taken a sip of river water, and had eaten some dry bread from the army, and there was nothing good in his stomach. He walked briskly to his seat, picked up a bunch of grapes, and took a glass of wine, a sip of grapes.

"Lord Luga, bad news." John. Antiochus said briefly: "The news of Bacalisa's death has been known to Aetius, who is now under house arrest and has full control over the Italian provinces and Gaul. ”

"Looks like he's moving very quickly!" Luga took the last sip of the glass, placed the glass heavily on the table, and said to John. Antioch said: "Isn't it that he has already dealt with a lot of things now, especially against Augustus. ”

"Yes, he now has control over the means by which Augustus exercised power, and now the court officials can no longer go to the palace to report the situation, but to his governor's palace." John. Antioch paused for a moment, and then said worriedly: "He has completely limited Augustus' ability now, ostensibly to discuss with Augustus, but the decision is made by him alone, ostensibly to take over the will of Barcelisa to assist Basellus, but the true intention can be seen clearly by any of us!" ”

"He began to resent Rome, which I had divided with him in the west." Luga began to analyze: "Augusta Gala. Lady Platicia was able to maintain a calm analysis even before she died, and she now needed someone who could maintain the balance of power in Rome to limit Aetius's ambitions. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the large piece of parchment hanging behind him, which detailed a map of Rome's territory. Then to John. Antiochus said, "Aetius was very steady in every step, but Gala. Plasity is also an outstanding woman, look at the land she gave me a fief. As he spoke, Luga picked up a stick on the table and drew a map of the Great Sequanoren and Ludug Gaul and Iberia and the provinces of Greater Sicily and Numidia around the province of Afrika and the province of Afrika to the south of the Rhine. Antiochus said: "Aetius controlled the central provinces of Gaul and Italy, and the Viagra of Flavia, which connected to Rome in the east, and in the true sense of the word, he controlled Rome in the west, and of course, most of the major regions were in his hands, and my, oh my God, look, was not only remote, but also the worst place for the barbarians, not only was it scattered and not gathered at all, but it would have left me mired in war at an astonishing rate." The same can be said of Gara. Plasettia had already imposed on me all the problems that Rome had encountered, and she had not taken into account my overwhelm. ”

"That doesn't seem like a good thing, Lord Luga." John. Antioch shrugged his shoulders and let out a long sigh.

"No, it's not that bad!" Luga smiled at John. Antiochus explained, "But we got stuck in Aetius' throat, look here. Luga said, slashing the Rhine line north of the province of Ludug Gaul with a stick. Antiochus explained: "The strength of more than 3,000 troops stationed here seems to be very small, but when the two provinces gradually recover, the garrison strength will be greatly strengthened, then you look at the current north of the Rhine." ”

"There were Franks, Lombards, mostly Germanic tribes." John. As he spoke, Antiochus suddenly brightened up, and said to Luga with a look of surprise: "You mean, Aetius is worried about these barbarians, but these barbarians are relying on you to resist. ”

"Then then how did you get out and find me, after all, the court officials were all transferred to Aetius." After Luga said this, he immediately turned to the topic and looked at John. Antioch.

"I'm worried about Your Excellency's distrust, so I brought this." John. Antioch said, pulling out a tiara from his pocket, which was a lady's tiara.

"What is this?" Luga took the crown and asked, puzzled.

"This is the tiara of your sister, Basa Lisa Leekinia, when she got married, because Basa Lisa said that you like this tiara very much, so let me bring this to you, and show you that I belong to the side of the Purple Room."

"Likenia." Luga was very helpless when he heard this name, he took the crown and shook his head helplessly.
