The question of whether I was too preoccupied came to my mind, because Ana's smile and words were like drops of water, dripping on the surface of the lake of my inner peace, causing ripples. Heartbeat, just like that, is expressed in an inadvertent smile, or a touching word. This pale-faced Gallic girl actually made me a little distracted.

Still smiling, Anai slowly approached me, I froze, just watched her approach me step by step, and in less than half a meter away, she stood on tiptoe and kissed me lightly on the forehead. My head buzzed, and at this moment it seemed that all the memories had become blank, the five senses disappeared, the breath was held unconsciously, and the whole body could only feel the heart pounding, this Gallic goblin, no wonder they all said that French women are amorous seeds, which can be confirmed thousands of years ago.

"Hey, it's time to hit the road!"

The centurion behind me couldn't stand it anymore, and patted me on the shoulder, and then I came back to my senses and found that Anai in front of me was gone, I quickly looked around, and only then did I see her lonely back not far behind me. This poor woman has come all the way just to bring me bread, and this. I thought, spread out my palm, not only exclaimed softly, it turned out that the one lying quietly in my palm was the silver ring, and the ring she had desperately protected was now lying in my palm.

I let out a long sigh, I don't know if this feeling is happy or sad, or expressionless! I put the ring on my middle finger and thought to myself that I would be able to return and give it back to her, poor girl. I shook my head vigorously to keep myself from thinking about it.

Returning to the team, before Andrew could speak first, the kid named Fermio, whom he had just met, spoke first: "Hey, that, that's your mistress?" ”

I touched the silver ring in my hand, and I didn't know what else to say, so I simply stopped talking, and I didn't expect him to ask one, two, or three.

"Luga, that Levi, what are you looking for that girl for?" Andrew asked me from the sidelines.

"I don't know, he stopped as soon as I walked over, but when Anai gave me something, his face was a little unpleasant, could it be some kind of small calculation?" This made me think about it for a long time, and as I watched as I walked farther and farther, the smell of corpses in the air was reduced a lot.

It was very boring along the way, and if the march was an exhilarating trip, the meaning of the trip must have been very boring when you knew that such a large group of men and horses had scared the birds and animals in the grove into running away without a trace. There was no birdsong except for the trees, probably because the sound was too loud, and the birds abandoned their nests a few hundred meters away. All that was left was a large number of troops along the ruined dirt road, which was uneven and completely devoid of what I knew to be a stone road, probably stepping into land occupied by barbarians, who knew no idea how to repair it.

"How many of us are there this time?"

After a long silence, I felt that the most important question to ask was this, I did not want to follow in the footsteps of Varus (Battle of the Teutoburg Forest) as a soldier.

"There are only three legions, and if the numbers are optimistic, then we may have brought 20,000 men this time." Flio's quick reply surprised me, and I quickly asked him, "How do you know?" ”

"Ha, I won't tell you, I used to work in the Imperial Library, just a small scribe." A smile appeared on Fermio's face, he was really a showman who didn't go out and knew everything about the world.

"It's so boring, I might as well tell you your story."

For Fermio, I am full of curiosity, this guy is not like those white people who don't know anything, but the identity of the scribe in the Imperial Library makes this young man in armor reveal a cultural atmosphere inside.

There are not many cultural people in these years, and there are only a handful of aspirants, and I don't know which wave of this Fermio who seems to know everything?

"My story?" Flio pointed to himself and shook his head, saying, "I don't have any interesting stories. ”

"Let's talk about it, it's not a hard question to talk about." Under my repeated pleading, Formio couldn't stand my stalking, and couldn't stop nodding his head, and Andrew next to him didn't say a word, but I could feel his ears pricked up.

"Good good ......"

Fermio waved his hand at me, but said, "Then you come first!" ”

With the idea that I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf, I thought about it for a while and decided to say that when I woke up, I couldn't say anything about the front, otherwise it would have an almost collapsed impact on his worldview.

But when it was time to rest in the afternoon, I was already far away from Ludinand, and I rubbed my dry and fiery throat, already wet with sweat. There was not a drop of water left in the kettle, and when I looked up at the sun in the middle of the day, I suddenly felt that I would die of thirst if I continued to talk like this. But Fermio's eyes widened and listened with relish, but I was embarrassed to stop, this is really a shame to die.

Finally, with a long horn, the convoy ahead stopped.

"Rest in place! Rest in place! ”

The Overseer's cavalry rode by the roadside, leaving behind an order. Without saying a word, I quickly sat down, and at this time, the carriage that supplied water stopped next to the team, because we were the first brigade, so we had priority to replenish. This is a great thing, I held the kettle, followed a group of people to push left and right, and finally grabbed a wooden bucket, the wooden water scoop down, did not have time to fill the kettle with water, just start drinking, a few sips down, suddenly feel a lot better eyesight. Looking around, it was in the middle of an undeveloped wood, overgrown with bushes, not to mention the lowest elevation of the road, and scenes from the movies I had seen before came to my mind.

"It's so quiet."

I couldn't help but say, standing still with the water scoop in my hand.

"Hey, you still can't drink it, I'm still thirsty if you don't drink it!"

The soldier behind me brutally snatched the ladle from my hand, and I was not moved by it, but looked around the place too dangerous, and wondered why Aetius chose to stay here.

Holding the empty kettle, he walked back to the phalanx step by step.

"Luga?" Andrew called to me, but he looked away from the empty kettle in my hand and asked me, "You didn't fetch water?" ”

"Ahh Alas, I don't know if this scoop of water is enough for me to last an afternoon.

"It's strange that our deputy Captain Antony should be following Aetius's car, why didn't he come today?"

At this time, I saw the chief centurion Guy passing by with the phalanx centurions, and I heard the centurion's questions about Guy very clearly.

"Didn't come!" I exclaimed in my heart, and hurried to look up at the chariot of Aetius in front of me, and the heavily armed cavalry dismounted, and although they were resting, they also clenched their spears and gathered around Aetius's chariot. There's nothing wrong with it, so why stay here?

There are more and more questions, and I can't breathe. Seeing the soldiers around them sitting in place, talking and laughing, everything seems to be normal, how is it possible? It's so quiet around!

"Da Da Da ......"

A series of hurried horses' hooves came from behind, apparently scouts. They sped past me, turned over and dismounted beside Aetius's car, took a rolled-up piece of parchment in their hands, and passed it into the window of the car, bowing their heads as if they were being lectured. In a few moments, as if commanded, the scout turned on his horse, pulled a horn from his backpack at his waist, and came to our ranks. The soldiers guarding the car in front of them also hurriedly mounted their horses, as if they had received some terrible news.

"What's this comedy?"

Andrew said, sitting still and staring at the scout.

The scout, apparently not hearing Andrew's words, raised his horn to his lips and inhaled sharply!

"Woo~snort!"

No sooner had the trumpet sounded than a sharp arrow flew out of the bushes not far away, piercing the scout's throat.

"Enemy! Encounter the enemy!! ”

Facing sudden changes! The centurions shouted and ran back to their phalanx, and the soldiers hurried to their feet. It seems that this calm surroundings are destined to be turbulent, which is not at all out of line with my worries just now!
