Chapter 168: Intimidation

The wolf had just landed, and before it could turn around, Younis seized the opportunity to pounce with his sword!

"How." A slight smile rose at the corner of Arecio's mouth, he turned his head to look at Aetius beside him, and said, "No, you came to me to be an intermediary to mediate the conflict between you and Lord Berniface." ”

“DIE! DIE! ”

Younis roared angrily, raising his sword to stab, but the unstable wolf did not react at all, and it seemed that Younis was going to succeed.

Suddenly, at that moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the surrounding smoke, dragging its long "tail" on the ground, like a gust of wind, straight towards Younis's body.

"Not good!"

Arecio screamed and leaned sideways to block his shield in front of him.

"Boom!"

The wolf's hard head slammed into Eunice's shield with such force that it made Eunice retreat again and again. The last wolf in the dust also seized the opportunity and swooped down with a low roar. Younis jerked his head back and flicked his left hand, pulling his shield tightly on the top of his left hand, just as the wolf was about to pounce on him.

"Bang!"

The heavy shield slammed down on the wolf's head, and it was possible to seize such a desperate opportunity, not only because of Eunice's superior fighting skills, but also because of God's favor, or rather playfulness.

"As you are not willing, Aetius." Arecio said as he played with the silver wine glass in his hand, and he thought to himself that no matter what method he used, he wanted Aetius, the dead star, to get out of his sight as soon as possible. "I know you are jealous of Bniface, for his accomplishments and military prowess, and that he will not cheat behind his back, nor will he threaten others like a speculator. The main thing is that he is a Roman! This Roman word, Arecio spoke very heavily, not unintentionally, but deliberately, to Aetius. He wanted to provoke Aetius, to provoke him with complete recklessness, and he hoped that the guy in front of him, who was not even worthy of a noble title, would leave his sight as soon as possible.

But Aetius's actions were far beyond his expectations, and Aetius just looked at him and smiled, unfazed, not at all provoked or influenced by Arecio's clearly targeted words.

What exactly did this guy go through? Aetius's astonishing composure surprised Arecio in his heart: "Is it forbearance? Arecio thought to himself, looking at Aetius without anger, not even at all.

"Indeed, His Excellency Berniface is indeed excellent and upright." Aetius said, raising his glass to drain the wine from the glass, then returning the empty glass to Arecio. "Even if he has some myriad merits, for you, Your Excellency," he said. But such a Roman did not maintain his loyalty to his country and people! ”

"Ah!!h

As soon as Aetius finished speaking, he heard Eunice screaming from inside the gladiatorial arena! The scream made all the audience on the stage secretly exclaim, and their expressions were full of incredulity.

When repelling the wild wolf that came straight at him, Eunice really didn't have time to pay attention to the wild wolf that had just pounced on the air from behind, and the fierce wolf pounced on Younis's back. The impact sent him choking forward and nearly falling to the ground.

The crowd let out the first exclamations, and it seemed that the match had just begun, and Younis was already in the middle of a fierce battle. The girls who were infatuated with Eunice were even more unwilling to see their beloved hero so embarrassed, and they even stood up to cheer him on. God knows how many of them secretly sacrificed their lives with this gladiator, the so-called retainer. If he dies, I don't know how many illegitimate children will lose their biological father.

"What did you say?" Arecio's eyes sank as he looked at Aetius, and he raised the decibel level of his voice a lot, provoking the other nobles and retainers around him. Arecio quickly realized his faux pas, and he hurriedly lowered the decibels, but the matter was not resolved, and he had to ask for clarification!

"Do you know that you will be killed if you say that?" Arecio stared fiercely at Aetius, who was still smiling in front of him. He gradually felt a slight fear that had been brought to him by Aetius, a barbarian who was not even a Roman. "Do you know the consequences of lying, Aetius? You're playing with fire and setting yourself on fire! Don't think you can do whatever you want with what you think you have enough field legions and Huns! ”

Aetius saw Arecio's vague uneasiness, and began to realize that his intimidation had worked. He sneered and said to Aresio: "Your Excellency, I can understand your distrust, because I have obtained the latest information, not only you, but the entire gladiatorial arena, including Platitia, knows nothing about it. ”

The smile on Aetius's face was still so natural, and he looked confident. Is it true? Arecio's heart began to beat a drum, you must know that if Berniface's treason is confirmed, then as the cavalry governor of Gaul, Aetius will inevitably get the permission of the regent Pracitia to crusade or defend against Berniface, then his collusion with Berniface is obvious to all, and it will almost make people think that it is some same-sex relationship, so that his life is really difficult to protect.

After all, Younis is a gladiator who has experienced life and death, and it is impossible to stand still in such a situation. He immediately stabilized his center of gravity and kicked backwards violently, causing his entire body to rise into the air and slam heavily on the ground, he was fine, except that the wolf behind him who was about to bite him screamed in pain.

"Die!"

Eunice, already red-eyed, slammed his head back and waved his sword in his hand, looking like he was going to cut the damn beast in the back!

"Whew!"

The brief gain made him forget that the wolf had two companions, and at the moment when Younis swung his sword, another wolf pounced, this time not on Younis's back, but directly on his sword-wielding arm!

"Ah!!h

Eunice felt an excruciating pain in his right arm, tearing at his muscles, and a force tugging his right hand downward.

The spectators let out a burst of exclamations, they saw that Younis was already injured, and the chances of victory were becoming more and more slim, and the girl and lady who were infatuated with Younis wept even more silently, and now it seemed that the victory was decided.

"Damn the beast!"

Younis was not willing to lose like this, he roared angrily and his injured right arm slammed into force, and he saw the wolf's mouth that bit Younis's right arm spurting red blood. Younis slammed the wolf to the ground, and immediately raised his shield and slammed it into the wolf's eyes and head.

"Click..."

The successive attacks made the wolf lying on the ground quickly give up its resistance and became a corpse in a pool of blood. At this time, the audience who clearly saw all this broke into enthusiastic cheers, it seems that Younis has regained his form, so can he continue to work hard?

"Are you really sure that Berniface rebelled?" Arecio still didn't trust Aetius, after all, in the face of the discord of no one he had any contacts, Arecio still didn't believe that Berniface had betrayed him like this.

"I'm afraid you really won't have a choice after this game, Treasurer!" Aetius smiled, then pointed to the throne of honor for the Emperor and Queen Regent across from him.
