The army set out, and the entire large army advanced in groups according to the size of the field regiment.

Even so, the huge army stretched for several kilometers, and the Romans, who were working in the fields, could not help but cheer at the sight of such a large army, and felt extremely safe psychologically for it.

It was Luga who kept them from losing when the barbarians invaded, and it was Luga who kept them at peace during the war, and there was nothing else that could make them grateful to Luga.

"In Treville, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, their support for Your Excellency is still very high." It is not difficult to see the surprise of Odysses at Luga, after all, the shortcomings of this arrogant and uneducated man should have been a rude, uncultured and disgusted fellow in the eyes of the powerful, but such a person who should have been hated was not rejected by the powerful but welcomed more than usual.

"He's not as simple as it seems!" Odysses said secretly in his heart.

"Augusta-Treville itself was a city belonging to Augustus, or rather, another capital of Rome." Luga said, looking back at the walls of Auguste Treville, "War is a strange thing, it can make people's hearts hard, and it can make people's hearts weak. ”

"And which one do you belong to?" Odysses asked, "I guess it's the first type, after all, like Homer's epic poems, like Agthius or Agamemnon, they are both men of stone, of course, with the blessing of the gods to make them invincible, or like Paris, who snatched Helen, is like a lamb hiding behind his brother Hector in the face of the great enemy, shivering." ”

"If I were to answer you directly, it would be that I was somewhere in between." Luga's answer made Odyssey difficult, and he did not understand the meaning.

Or that strength and weakness coexist, and cruelty and kindness coexist. This question was thought out deeply, and Odysses was even surprised how this vulgar guy in front of him could have such an esoteric philosophy in it. Is this a joke of God?

"You should always be extraordinary, Lord Luga." Odysses flattered: "Victory always favors those who are far-sighted, just like this action, there is always a good way, isn't it?" ”

"There is a god living in everyone's heart." Luga muttered, his body swaying slowly as the horse moved, and he didn't say a word, as if he was used to such bumps.

"That's Ovid's famous quote." Odysses was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect His Excellency Luga to read his poems, oh, look at me, what kind of bastard are you talking about, after all, a Roman who can read and write Latin proficiently is naturally based on a very strict education!" ”

At this time, Luga turned his head to look at Odes, and couldn't help but ask: "You said so much, what are you flattering me, but I don't like to listen to flattering words, because it is full of hypocrisy and uselessness." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord Luga." Odysses looked nervous, not like a dignified man. I saw him hurriedly defend himself: "I'm just a little nervous, after all, this is the first time I've been on that bloody battlefield, and I know that war is different from what the epic describes." ”

"It turns out that the veterans who have never experienced war are like this." Lu Jia sneered, "No wonder you can't take advantage of those barbarians, it's because you're afraid of their burly and tall figures." ”

"No, don't mention it." Odysses waved his hand and continued, "Let's talk about this war..."

"I have nothing to say before it's over!" Luga interrupted him, not thinking in the slightest about the etiquette that any nobleman should show.

After all, no matter what, I want to understand this military operation and play the role of a bystander. Naturally, it was impossible for Luga to give Odes such a chance, anyway, he was invited to witness the final victory, and he didn't need to know too much inside information at all.

A month later, in Ludug Gaul, Aetius had to shrink his line and gather his army after a mistake in the narrow defensive line.

The two main armies, together with auxiliary troops recruited from the surrounding villages and towns, totaled more than 20,000 men, and they formed a thick defensive line outside the city of Ludinand.

At this time, the barbarian army came to Ludinand's city after regrouping, and they were still mighty, and from a distance it seemed that black clouds carrying heavy rain had fallen to the ground.

"Stepping on ......"

Such a huge momentum overwhelmingly overwhelmed the sea, so that all the Roman soldiers present couldn't help but hold their breath and quietly watched the approach of this super legion.

"Why are they just not willing to let us go?" This was the question on the mind of every Roman soldier under Aetius.

Aetius stood in the middle of the army, his freshly shaved beard and a new battle robe, with a refreshed waxed armor that made him look like a god.

If the commander was well-dressed enough to raise the morale of the soldiers, I don't know if this was true or not, but Aetius did.

The barbarian coalition in front of them had no intention of retreating, they simply stopped close enough to face Aetius' army.

Obviously, they were thinking about attacking or leaving, after all, the army in front of them was no longer just 3,000 people who were swollen and fat, so what should they do next?

"Should we negotiate with them?" Thereus whispered beside Aetius, "After all, it is far wiser to be able to solve a problem with words than to start a life-and-death battle with a real weapon." ”

"You're right, Theris!" Aetius nodded repeatedly, "Money makes everything go well, even on the battlefield, and I even begin to wonder why they are meek as lambs in Lugar's land, and vicious as hungry wolves in my land." ”

Soon, the negotiator mounted his horse and ran out of Aetius's army, towards the barbarian coalition not far away.

As the minutes ticked by, they seemed to be talking very smoothly, and one of the messengers was surrounded by a circle of barbarian leaders, and they talked happily with this messenger and even let out a burst of laughter from time to time, such a lively atmosphere made Aetius couldn't help but frown his brows, and the whole person relaxed a lot.

"It seems that the war can be ended at this time." Aetius let out a long sigh of relief, although he didn't know what the messenger had talked about with the leader of the barbarians, but the smile on his face could indicate that things had turned around, so now is the time to talk about the conditions.

"What exactly do they want? Gold, grain, or women or whatever? Aetius began to figure out how to solve these material problems, and he had always been confident in his instincts.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot out of nowhere, stabbing straight into the back of a barbarian leader without anyone being caught off guard.

The laughter abruptly stopped, and everyone's eyes widened in astonishment as the leader of the barbarians, whose features were twisted together in pain, slowly fell to his knees and died in agony.
