It should come to an end, this redefined life......

Luga felt like he was sitting in the dark, surrounded by chaos that he couldn't reach, and it was as dark as the chaos was before it opened, and there was nothing.

He sat in it, his whole heart was empty, he didn't think about anything, he didn't think about anything, he didn't have any worldly fetters in it, and there was no undue voice to disturb him.

But after some time, he saw only one light, like the one he had been reborn when he died, and this time he was familiar with it, and without struggle, without longing, he waited quietly for the light to envelop him and send him back to another place.

It was like a sweet dream, and Luga opened his eyes again, and he saw that in the familiar fishing village, an officer wearing a rusty iron helmet and wearing old chain mail stood at the head of the village with papyrus in his hand, and his soldiers gathered all the villagers and read the papyrus to their faces.

It was a conscription order.

The Empire has dwindled its forces in endless conquests, so they need more young soldiers to join the battlefield and contribute their part to the survival of this twilight Rome, which is their own lives.

In the crowd he saw the boy again, the Luga who was not alive and dead.

This young man, wounded by love, stood in the crowd like a log, his godless eyes drooping feebly at the ground beneath his feet, and he had no reason to raise his head again.

"Conscription, conscription, terrible conscription......" The exclamation of the people around him made him react slightly, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation around him.

"It's conscription again, damn it, that's the gate of hell, it's said that if you become a soldier, you can't come back."

"Yes, my uncle went, and it wasn't long before the family received only his bloody badge."

"He's dead?"

"Yes, never lifeless, never coming back."

"I'm so sorry."

"No, nothing."

Such a sad conversation made the young man's eyes light up, and he seemed to see hope again, no matter how happy and beautiful the officer's life in the general's brigade was, the only thing that mattered was that this could take him away!

"Who would?" The officer shouted at the crowd.

As a result, no one responded, they all knew that this was not going to do with their lives, no one wanted any heroic sacrifices, they just wanted to survive in this world and live a few years.

"Who would?" The officer reiterated once again that he was obviously a little upset, after all, he had not received the soldiers, and he might have acted aggressively.

I saw him reach out and grasp the hilt of his sword, and the soldiers behind him also clenched their spears, ready to wait for an opportunity.

The situation is clear, if there is still no one, then they will rob people!

"Me!"

At this moment, only a call was heard, only to see a thin right hand stretched out from behind the crowd, and everyone turned around and looked at Lujia who raised his hand, with different emotions in his eyes.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me see this brave kid!" The officer's face was full of joy, and he shouted at the crowd.

The villagers made way for Luga to pass through, and Luga took heavy steps, as if each step was a step closer to the abyss.

"Oh my God, poor boy, what the hell is going on?"

"He's crazy, doesn't he want to join the army?"

His ears were filled with such voices, and even so, they couldn't stop the young man from moving forward, he walked so weakly, and the soles of his feet landed on the ground so loudly.

Eventually, he came to the officer, who looked at Luga with a satisfied expression.

"Tell me, kid, what's your name?"

"Luga." Luga replied in a whisper, "Aurius. Luga. ”

"Luga, good boy, good boy!" The officer nodded in satisfaction, and then pulled Lugar in front of him.

"Anything else? Anything else? "How can an officer be satisfied with just one guy?

But no one else in the villagers dared to come forward.

Luga looked back at the retreating villagers, trying to find Tenaia among them, but of course, no, nothing.

"Okay, that's for the best."

A trace of loss flashed in the young man's heart, but in the end, he still wanted to open it, after all, his heart was like ashes, and there was nothing to ask for or anything.

"Old men, old women, and children who can't go to war, heh, look at who they are?" The officer looked at everyone present, and found that there were no young men except the old man and the child.

"Where are you hiding?" The officer muttered to himself, and led Luga to turn to answer that there were a few dirty wretched worms on the carriage carrying the recruits, and it seemed that they had been pushed up.

Now Luga is about to join them and become a consumable for the rest of the war.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”

At this time, only a hurried shout was heard, and the officer turned back with Luga, only to see the old doctor Bella squeezing out of the crowd, and he ran to Luga out of breath.

"What are you doing, kid?" Dr. Bella shouted at Luga, and then he reached out and grabbed Luga's arm and pulled it back, saying "Go, let's go back and talk about something!" ”

"What for?"

Seeing snatching the child from his own hands, how could the officer be willing, only to see him "brush" and pull out the iron sword and smash it on Dr. Bella's back with the hilt, causing Dr. Bella to kneel on the ground in pain, this scene made Plavia and Tenaia who came after him see clearly, and they pounced out of the crowd and came to Dr. Bella's side.

"Damn it." Looking at Bella, who had fallen to the ground, the officer was still angry, scolded twice, and then continued to go back with Luga.

"Luga, Luga!"

Dr. Bella kept calling Luga's name behind him, but Luga never looked back, he stood beside the carriage with great obedience, and did not even leave a light behind.

"Okay, kid, you don't belong here anymore!" As the officer spoke, he pulled out a worn iron helmet from nowhere, which had been ripped off the head of a dead man.

"You are now a glorious Roman soldier, and you will prove your loyalty to the great Augustus, Augusta, with your flesh and your blood!"

Luga didn't say a word the whole time, he just lowered his head, allowing the officer to slowly put his helmet over his head and tighten it.

It's as simple as being a soldier, all you need is a helmet, a spear, and all you have to worry about is where you die.

"They seem to be reluctant to give you up." The man in the car asked Luga, "Aren't you willing to give them up?" ”

"There's nothing left to be nostalgic about here!" Luga said coldly, and the mouth of his mouth was lifeless, which made the others shudder when they heard it.

What is the meaning of a person who is still alive and whose heart is dead?

He was an orphan himself, but only an old boat with a fishing rod, a fishing basket, and a dilapidated thatched hut. What is there to be attached to in such a life? Especially the already fragile children, who have been hit hard by life.

The carriage started, and the wooden wheels creaked and rattled on the uneven earth.

"Luga! Luga! ”

Dr. Bella still screamed, even though the carriage was gone, his hands clasped in the ground, and he wept and sighed and sobbed, as if he had lost something so important that his life was even more valuable.

"My old friend, my old friend!"

Bella fell to her knees, knowing that she had seen the distant carriage disappear from sight.

As the villagers dispersed, someone came over and comforted, "Don't worry, old Bella, you'll see him soon, I mean, his blood-stained helmet or something, in short, a happy one!" ”
