"Hey, Fili, are you sure that the Supreme Commander of Rome did grant your request?"

Outside the village, a strong man, shirtless, with long blond hair hanging down to his shoulders, and a wooden iron-tipped spear on his shoulder, sat on a stone by the side of the road, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. He turned his head and looked impatiently at the old man standing not far behind him. Then he complained: "We've been waiting here for more than a month, and I didn't know if so many people would take such a long time to stay at such a short distance or after you came back." ”

Lu Jia has been answering the old man's request for some time, and now the old man has come back and told them about this matter in the next month, and it seems that it is already summer, and in such a hot weather, can the official army come?

"I don't know." The old fellow shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know anything, and said strangely, why so long had passed, and he clearly said that as long as he could cooperate with them, he would be able to make a living together, and as long as he could help the Roman legions defeat and recover Belgian Gaul, they would be able to become citizens of Rome, and become citizens in the true sense of the word, and then they would be able to live in the city in a grand manner. Living in the city, they can get alms from the "kind" nobles at the same time as they hold the council of senators, they will have free bread and wine to enjoy, and they will have the right to vote, and with the right to vote, they can use this to threaten the nobles who are hungry for power, so that these nobles will do everything possible to curry favor with them for the votes in their hands, so that they can use their votes unscrupulously and get endless food, since there is endless food, then who will go to such a painstaking farm and labor? Not to mention the robbers' countryside here.

"You must be lying, damn Fili, you must have gotten that treasure of the village chief to your own hands! And then go to the middle of nowhere to splurge! ”

As Filip was about to explain, behind him came another guy with a short stick, who looked much more civilized than the other one, and at least had a set of clothes on him.

"No, I really gave it to him, trust me!" The old fellow Fili was in a hurry, he explained to the two men, eagerly, wanting to make the matter clear: "Really, I saw with my own eyes the commander who captured Augusta Treville, he was at the door of a huge and gorgeous house, and the strong man next to him asked me to go up, I didn't dare, he waved his hand, and I saw the guards around me carrying me up, really, I almost peed my pants at that time!" ”

"That's enough, Filip!" It seems that he has said too much of this rhetoric, and his compatriots have become impatient to listen to it, and have long since grown tired of his rhetoric.

"You must be lying!" The shirtless fellow had enough of it, and got up and lifted old Fili up and yelled at him, "Just give me an honest account, you must have swallowed that treasure privately!" ”

"I didn't, I really didn't!" Old Fili waved his hand repeatedly, and it looked like he was really frightened.

"You!" The man roared angrily, and raised his fist at old Fili, but at that moment the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away, which made him stop what he was doing, and look again in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came. Only one rider was seen, and he was leaning over his horse, and the horse was carrying him along the path, and did not stop until he reached the front of the three men.

"What is this?"

The strong man put down Fili and came to the stopped horse, and the rider on the horseback seemed to have used the last of his strength to fall off the horse.

He looked pale, his lips purple, and there was no blood at all, and he knew at a glance that he had gone through a long journey.

"Isn't this guy the scout we sent out?" Fili, who had a good eye, immediately recognized the guy.

"Ro, Romans!" The rider used his last strength to point to the way he came, and said, "Come, come!" ”

"Romans?" The strong man was taken aback, and he hurriedly shouted to the guy with a short stick behind him: "Quick, go and tell the village chief!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the "rumbling" of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind him, and he turned back sharply, only to see a large number of cavalrymen coming from the road where the rider came, armed with rifles and wearing iron helmets.

"What's going on?" Seeing that the large number of cavalry was slowly approaching, the strong man could no longer hold his breath, and he was so frightened that he threw down his spear and spread his legs and ran towards the village.

"The Romans are coming! The Romans are coming! The Romans are coming! The frightened creature ran and shouted so that everyone could hear and know.

Old Fili also wanted to run, but his legs were weak and he could not run, so he could only stand in stazed and wait for the cavalry to get closer and closer.

"It's over!" Old Fili closed his eyes in despair and waited quietly for death to come.

But the sound of the horses' hooves, which was getting closer and closer, stopped abruptly, and old Filly was very strange, for death had not yet come.

"What's going on?"

Old Filly opened his eyes hesitantly, and the first thing he saw was a leg, on horseback, and when he looked up, he saw first a pair of tight breeches, then chain mail covering his thighs, then scales, and finally Andrew was looking down at him with a wicked smile.

"Ahh

Old Filly was so frightened that he fell to the ground in such a comical way that Andrew laughed.

"So you've been waiting for us here, Fili." Andrew looked at him with a smile, knowing that when he was sure that Andrew would not hurt him, old Fili came to his senses, he got up and patted the dust on his body, raised his head and said to Andrew with a smile: "Your Excellency, we have been waiting here for a long time!" ”

"Huh, huh?"

Andrew raised his head and looked around, there was only old Fili nearby, which made Andrew very puzzled, he turned his head down and asked, "Fili, are you the only one in your village?" ”

"Uh, sir, they'll be right out, I promise!" Old Fili said to him with a smile on his face.

As soon as Old Fili finished speaking, he saw a large number of villagers with spears rumbling on the path at the entrance of the village, as if they had been trained, so they formed a phalanx in front of Andrew. Pointing the rudimentary spear at Andrew and the cavalry behind him, these two grim looks, as if they were going to live and die with this village.

Their actions also drew the guard of the Roman cavalry, who raised their rifles and tightened their reins, staring at the villagers in front of them, who should be described as armies.

"That's what you said, that's how you greeted you?" Andrew gestured to the group of villagers and army men behind old Fili.

"Yes, oh, no! No! Old Fili was stunned all of a sudden, he didn't know which game his compatriots wanted to play, he said from afar that the Lord of Rome came, now it's okay, the guy copied it like a great enemy, and now old Fili was stupid and now he didn't know how to speak.
