Chapter 449: Hongmen Banquet (I)
"At first it was the Saxons who attacked our rear, and now it is the priest who wants to seize my rights, and the enemy is becoming more and more cunning and powerful, but our army is becoming more and more disintegrated, difficult! Difficult! Luga sat on a stool in the middle of the camp, very depressed, and even more lifeless around him.
"Luga, I have to say." When Malenius came to Luga, his face was solemn, he half knelt in front of Luga, stretched out his hand to take the hand that Luga had placed on his lap, his eyes were full of tears, and his tone was pleading and said to Luga: "Most of our men have been killed and wounded, they are all children from the Peloponnese, and they cannot all die here. At this point, Malenius could not stop crying, and his actions made the soldiers passing by him, all of whom were soldiers of the Fourth Auxiliary Legion, stop. It may be that he has never seen his own commander like this, so they all stopped and stared blankly.
"I know, I know!"
In the face of Malenius's cry, Luga's mood was equally heavy, but he didn't know how to say it, Malenius meant very clearly, the soldiers of the Fourth Auxiliary Army could not fight a meaningless war of attrition on the front, otherwise the whole army would collapse for various reasons.
Luga couldn't let this happen, the Fourth Auxiliary Legion was his last hole card, and Jankaro held the centurions of the Ninth Legion firmly in his hands, so the soldiers were roughly in their hands.
Seeing that the night was falling, and Luga's eyes were as empty and cold as the cloudless sky, he knew that this time, he had to come for real.
In the evening, Luga's feast was held in the city of Seguntum, attended not only by Luga and his party, but also by the chiefess of Toucheng, Maca, and her Anglo nobles. Compared with Father Jankaro's party, they were very magnificent, not only Father Jankaro and his eight monks in his entourage. There are also more than ninety centurions of the Ninth Legion, and this group of people is enough to form a hundred-man phalanx, and they are all the leaders of the Ninth Legion, full of combat power.
The mighty man gave Father Jiang Carlo a sense of security, which also made him hold his chest high and full of energy. Stepping into the hall of the banquet, the small house could not accommodate them at all, and only Father Jankaro and the eight monks who accompanied him were allowed to enter.
"Why don't you have a ceremony outside?" Father Cankaro refused to enter the door, which was also cunning, he was aware of the potential threat in the house, he was not sure what Luga's intentions were to him, it may have other intentions, it may be that he sincerely confessed his mistake, but the first one is more likely.
So he had to stand with his centurions, so that he didn't believe that Luga could do any other thing that could do him any harm.
In response to Father Jiangkaro's request, Luga had no choice but to obey him, and he bowed his head and whispered to the female leader, Maka, "Come on, let's go out together." ”
The female leader, Marka, nodded in response, and after glancing at Father Jankaro who was standing outside the door, without saying a word, everyone present got up and carried the table outside the door under the command of Luga. By this time Father Gankaro had instructed the centurions to raise a bonfire in the open space outside, and Luga understood this, and he instructed Andrew to form a circle around the table and take all the centurions and the Angles and nobles in their seats. The young maid poured them full of wine and prepared sumptuous food. However, they didn't seem to have an appetite for the delicacies at the table, and everyone looked at Jiang Karo and Lu Jia, who were sitting opposite.
"Your Excellency Luga." Father Jankaro said to Luga angrily: "You don't seem to have sincerely repented to the Lord, and even now, when the night has fallen, and the Lord is impatient to wait in heaven, do you really want him to send down heavenly punishment, then you will not have any chance, I am advising you, and I am helping you, you should be grateful to me!"
"And!" Father Jankaro picked up the wine glass placed on his table and said to Luga: "We cultivators, we have already given everything to the Lord, how can we let this filthy sewage of the mortal world be polluted by our pure hearts and few desires! As he spoke, he waved his glass and threw it on Luga's body.
"You!" Andrew was naturally angry when he saw that Father Jiang Karo was so weak, and he stood up suddenly, but was grabbed by Luga.
"Yes, yes, Father Jankarlo."
Lu Jia nodded again and again, expressing his agreement with Father Jankaro's words, he didn't care about the large wine stains on his body, he picked up his wine glass, stood up and said to Father Jankaro: "Father, my ignorance has created a fault for the priest, and this should indeed be atoned for, then, since the priest is a divine body, and cannot tolerate the defilement of mortal filth, then let this filthy sewage punish my body and let me make the most humble atonement!" With that, Luga picked up his glass and drank the wine from the glass.
This did not get any approval from Father Jiang Caro, he sneered and looked at Luga, because Luga was already a grasshopper after autumn for him, and he couldn't jump for a few days, and he was so badly injured that the Ninth Legion, which occupied the vast majority of the army, was in his hands, and it was clear who was the real boss.
But this Luga is very eye-catching, he knows his situation, at least he can say something nice, let him stand up more comfortable. Maybe if you are in a good mood, you can let this adopted son of the so-called Eastern Empire Augustus have a way to live, let him be so decadent, knowing that this is the Western Empire, if he doesn't follow his intentions, it will be a dead end.
As for the Pope's statement Leo, as the Warlord of the Ninth Legion, he naturally has absolute control over this army established by religion, although the Pope did not say it explicitly, but the meaning is not like this. This is the army of Christ, not the adopted son in front of him, so he just led them to war, but now this guy's opponent is getting stronger and stronger, and he has also taken the city of Camlo Dulum, which puts this guy in a situation of fighting on both sides.
He now consumes a lot of soldiers from the Auxiliary Legion and the Fourth Auxiliary Legion because of the daytime fighting, and he simply does not have enough hole cards in his hand
