Chapter 282: Returning Home

Once a small plan is planned, then the action must be carried out as early as possible. Otherwise, while Gar was walking on the road, he led his Ninth Legion of Sanction all the way north, and the march was so slow that Luga always wanted to urge them to go faster, so that they could reach Genoa in advance, no, they would not go to Genoa.

"Luga, do you really trust Aetius? Don't forget how he cleaned us up in the first place! Andrew followed Luga, clinging to the eagle banner as he had done when he had returned to the barracks for the first time, fearing that a golden eagle would suddenly come alive and fly away. He began to believe in Leather Marywin, because the guy had been staring at the statue of a beautiful woman for a long time, and the beautiful woman was alive. Therefore he did not dare to stare at the eagle emblem, for he was afraid that if he looked at it and brought the golden eagle to life, then he might die of crying.

He even began to make Luga feel that he was a little chattering, as he often spoke with the eagle emblem. Well, that's just that he likes it too much, and Luga told himself to simply make him a flag bearer and let him play by himself.

"Oh, Andrew, don't forget!" Luga said as he walked, "The thing in your hand was given to you by Aetius, as the saying goes, the hands of the man are short, and it is not appropriate for you to take him and not give him a few kind words, Andrew." ”

"Oh, what the hell, Luga, this was given to us by Augustus Valentinian III, really, it's true, Aetius told you himself, didn't he?" Andrew was not convinced, he held the eagle emblem and retorted loudly, "What's more, how much I supported him, but he disappointed me again and again, I'm fed up, you know Luga, I've had enough!" I'm still scared that this damn guy is sending someone to ambush us somewhere ahead, huh, sinister one. Andrew's words made Luga cry and laugh, and for some reason, Luga felt that the mood of the journey was extremely happy, and he was satisfied when he thought of Tenaia's smiling face.

"Oh, Andrew, I've thought about you too, and I've made two preparations here, he's in Palermo now. I have sent two auxiliary regiments of Malenius to camp in the woods outside Palermo. ”

"But Luga, what's the use of that?" Andrew asked, puzzled.

"Hah, then you don't know!" Luga said, gesturing to the sack hanging next to the backpack on his horse's back, which was grunting.

"I have prepared a carrier pigeon, and if I am in trouble, I will release it, and if nothing else, in a few days Malenius will be able to get the news from me, and then they will attack Palermo, and I will arrange a lot of our eyeliner in Palermo, and then even if the walls are strong, their gates will not be able to hold them. And Berialius will convey the news of my ambush to Theodosius II, and see how capable he is of Aetius to meet Theodosius's wrath. No, he won't be able to run away, because he will be killed in Palermo. ”

"What if he runs away from the sea?" Andrew then asked: "Palermo is a coastal city, have you forgotten that?" ”

"Oh, of course I haven't forgotten." Luga said confidently: "During this time, because of the threat of the Vandal navy, the commerce between Palermo and other places has been interrupted, and it has not yet recovered, I sent Berialiu to lead our fleet to the north of Palermo, as long as there is a ship in Palermo, then it will definitely be taken." Unless he, Aetius, had wings, he couldn't escape. Now it is nothing more than the same end, and he does not have the courage to make such a despicable means. ”

With that, Luga looked back at Sicily, not far away, and for the first time he felt how evil he was. But he knew that it wasn't his fault, and he was forced to fight for his life with these old guys.

Nothing happened along the way, and they arrived in Rome without any surprise when Luga was surprised, and they didn't even need to be sentry when they slept safely.

Outside the city of Rome, such a sudden arrival of the legion did make the soldiers a little flustered, and they questioned the army outside the city from the upper floor. Exactly as Aetius said, when Luga reported his name, no one really knew him, and the gates were still closed. It wasn't until they saw the Eagle Banner in Andrew's hand that they realized it was their own. For no enemy or rebel could roam the hinterland of the empire with the eagle banner.

Entering the city, Lu Jia went directly to the armory and carried all the weapons and equipment inside, and the guards and bureaucrats guarding the warehouse did not recognize this boy who had never seen before, as well as his legion, under the banner of the Eastern Empire, as if he looked like a four-faced. But in his hand is clearly a genuine eagle flag, if there is any objection he took out a letter signed Aetius, even if there are ten thousand unwilling in his heart they have nothing to say, as long as he is not a fool can know that this big man named Luga has a background, nothing can be offended, anyway, there is a letter from Aetius, naturally he is not afraid of taking responsibility, so let Luga move away, but also try to save trouble, this whole time, is a week's time.

Luga's soldiers pulled the wagons full of goods all the way north to Ravenna, the capital of the empire and the seat of Augustus, but Luga didn't mean to meet Augustus Valentinian III, because he was going to avoid the damn thing! So much so that when he entered the city, he had his soldiers dressed up in disguise, and as soon as he stood behind Valentinian III, Luga might draw his sword and pounce on him and slaughter the dog. Let's not talk about this first, I'm afraid that if Levi knows about his existence, he can't say what kind of trick he has set for Luga.

This week, Luga almost never showed up, he was extremely cautious to empty Ravenna's armory without alarming the royal family, and he also sent a lot of eyeliner during this time, because where Levi is, then Anai must be there, but his eyeliner asked the city inside and outside and did not find the woman Ana, which had to make Luga wonder what was going on. But time was running out, and he had to quietly lead the army to pull the goods north to Milan at night.

It's been nearly a month since he looked back, and Luga felt that he was getting closer and closer to Tenaia, and he was very excited, at least after such a period of struggle, it was finally going to bear fruit!
