A week has passed since the barbarian attack, during which time Luga sent John. Anthony went to investigate, after all, the power of intellectuals is considerable!

The attack sent the people of Tarraco into a state of heightened tension. Because the main target of the attack was the nobles, and it is well known that the place where the nobles gathered was the Doge's Palace, which was the most heavily guarded place in Tarraco, and they were all attacked by so many barbarians, so what place could the barbarians not attack?

So much so that the surviving nobles spent their days hiding in their own houses, and then hired a large number of mercenaries to guard their mansions. It's hard for them to trust anyone, especially Andrés of the Tarraco authorities, as well as government officials.

The number of guards arranged in the streets was more than doubled, and Andrés had to hire some mercenaries to guard the city. The order of the streets has been well stabilized, and the lives of the citizens have been stabilized, but they are aristocratic. Andrés, who has lost his credibility, may not really be able to explain to them how this tragedy happened.

"Suebi people! Suebi people! Luga was also frustrated by this issue for a while, because he couldn't be sure what the hell the guys were for. In short, this happened just after arriving in Iberia, which really caught him off guard.

"I was thinking of going to visit the Spanish provinces, but such a beginning made me lose face!" He thought to himself, his eyes fixed on the map on the table.

Yes, there is no reason for this at all! Because the distance from the territory of the Suebi is so far, because there is a Caesar Augusta in the middle, and there are countless fortress checkpoints on their own Tarraco Boulevard, how could they come here? And the territory of the Goths, who are all enemies, how is it possible to allow the enemy's troops to pass through their own territory?

"I must not allow these barbarians to run rampant in their current territory." Luga muttered to herself, feeling that the situation was very different from what it had been in the past.

"It's a complicated situation, I can't tell who is the enemy and who is the ally!" Luga said, slumped in his chair, feeling like he had been thinking so much about finding an answer. It's not your own problem, asking yourself about your faults, making ideological mistakes.

"So, let's go out for a walk!" Thinking so, Luga slowly got up and walked outside the tent, and at this moment, he saw from a distance that the gate of the camp was slowly opened, and a carriage came in in a hurry, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.

"What, some goddamn emergencies again?" Luga watched the carriage coming towards him, and naturally knew what was going to happen? He was already busy, and now that the old things had not been dealt with and there were new troubles, he sighed, sat down in front of the door, silently told himself that this might be fate, and then quietly watched the carriage get closer and closer with the appearance of a dead man.

"Luga! Luga! ”

No, before the man came out of the carriage, the sound came to Luga's ears.

"Call me Soldier Chief!" Luga then sighed again, and watched as the curtain of the carriage was lifted. Antioch jumped out of the car, pointed to a cloth bag with his right hand, and trotted towards Luga with his robe in his left hand, running in a very funny way, but Luga looked at it, and the exhaustion made him laugh.

"Oh, it's John, what, let me see what you've brought?" Luga said weakly, looking at John. Antioch.

"Luga, find out! They're all goths! "John. Antiochus said, taking out a piece of cloth from his pocket with a very rough drawing of a bird. The bird's body and wings are red, but its head is blue, and it looks similar to the eagle used in Rome.

"They are the hallmark of the Viesgoths, I'm pretty sure of that!" John. Antiochus continued, "This thing was found in the arms of one of their officer-like guys. ”

Seeing Luga's puzzled look, John. Antiochus then added: "The soldiers on patrol in the city captured a guy who tried to run but did not run away, and after some torture, this guy confessed that he was a subordinate of Theodoric, the leader of Visgoth, because of the insult he had taken at the time outside the city of Durokortoram. I got word that you were coming to Taraco, so I sent a killer to do so. They bought off the guards, and then took advantage of the fact that they had not yet entered the venue and ambushed in the venue, probably because there were too many people for fear of leaking, and they were not sure that it was you, so they felt that the time was almost up and they pounced and killed it. ”

"What an amazing thing you are, these barbarians!" Luga said, stretching his legs and stretching a big slump, and then asked John. Antiochus said: "Didn't the order we have given to us to pay the titheflower tax in each region! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Divide a part, see what they had killed and wounded at the time, and then distribute the money to the families of the nobles who were killed at that time according to the pensions of the fallen officers." Luga let out a long sigh as she spoke.

"Your Excellency." John. Antioch also looked solemn, and then he asked, "Do you think your lords will accept this money?" ”

Luga was a little displeased and asked John, "What? Do you still give them a lot of gold? ”

John hurriedly shook his head, and Luga continued: "It is already very rare for our military to take the initiative to take responsibility for this incident, and it is already very merciful to give the victim officer treatment, for God's sake." It has dragged on for now, and I hope that your Excellency will finish it in a week's time, as I am about to leave for New Carthage in the south. ”

"What, is it going to start a war?" John. Antiochus asked, and he looked reluctant, as if there was something unspeakable.

"What? You don't seem to be looking forward to war. Luga said, patting the dust off his body, and continued, "I am numb to war, but this is the only way for us to regain our old land. ”

"But our military rations, money, and other aspects can't support the army's offensive at all." John. Antiochus shrugged his shoulders and said: "The finances are stretched thin, most of the taxes paid by the provinces are used to repay the pensions of the soldiers who died in the British War, and although the pirates at sea have settled a lot of property, they can only maintain the status quo. The money hoarded in the Northern Territories for development could not be counted on at all. The military rations are far from sufficient, and it would be difficult for us to support them if we did not buy the grain in the hands of the local nobles. ”

"And what about the military spending given by the central government?" Luga asked, "They can't just starve their soldiers to death like this!" ”

"Not a single Dinaris." John. Antiochus shook his head and said, "The central government has stopped supplying our army since you asked the provinces to stop paying tribute, and we don't have any extra property for at least the past few months. ”

"Well, well, actually, I don't have any intention of starting a war at all." Luga towards John. Antiochus smiled and said no more.
