Chapter 129 We meet again
"What!"
Andrew glanced at the foul-smelling drain, where the water was black.
An expression of nausea that was difficult to conceal emerged on Andrew's face. He was extremely disgusted with this thing.
"If that's the case, I'd rather be hanged alive by those damned Bagoda slaves!"
Oh, this guy, looking at Andrew holding the package full of food tightly and standing there motionless, I really don’t know whether he really dislikes this sewer or is reluctant to part with the food.
“Oh, come on, Andrew, this thing can go on top of your head.”
After my repeated requests, Andrew finally came to his senses. But he was still a little reluctant, and finally moved his feet after my repeated urging.
"boom!"
There was another loud bang, and a piece of flying rock fell from the sky and hit the house next to it.
"Damn it, stop dawdling, Andrew!"
I yelled, grabbed Andrew's arm, and was about to jump into the sewer.
"Where are you going? Orius Luca."
This sudden voice scared me so much that I gasped. Why! Why is it always at the most critical moment? I heard a very familiar voice. No, it was not Fred, but the scary one hiding behind the brass mask, Alessio! I was thinking, and turned around. Yes, it was this guy. He was still wearing the brass mask. I really don’t know what shame he has. It was still that nightgown, no, robe. It has been worn for so many days without any signs of being dirty. The key is, is it really okay for you to wear this at such a critical moment? But now, behind him are no longer the two beautiful girls, but a whole team of soldiers wearing armor and swords. The silver armor is dazzling in the sun.
"Hey, you guy, I didn't expect you still have such a good thing!"
I deliberately laughed and changed the subject, but I didn't forget to touch the soldier's armor. Oh, it was a long-lost feeling. This armor must be very happy to make friends with me, but the person wearing it was not so friendly. This guy forced me to retreat with his vicious eyes.
"Oh, Mr. Luca, why don't you stay in the hotel we arranged for you? Why did you come here?"
This Aresio, his pair of cunning eyes were scanning Andrew and me, and his eyes gradually noticed the bag on Andrew's back.
"Hey, Mr. Luca." Alessio came over and patted Andrew on the shoulder with a smile, and asked me: "You are in, um, the sewer, do you need help? Is there anything left here?"
"Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Aresio, that's not the case!"
I waved my hand at him, looking at him with a big smile on my face, looking at his glittering brass mask, this guy seemed to see through everything, playing with a gorgeously decorated dagger in his hand. Oh, this corrupt guy, look at his dagger, it's full of gems, in such a remote, backward and poor place.
"No? That's very strange, Mr. Luca."
At this time, on the city wall not far away, the shouts and sounds of killing from both sides had merged into one, and it was so loud that people couldn't help but cover their ears.
But Alessio was very calm. He walked back and forth beside me, constantly playing with the dagger in his hand, which scared me so much that I broke into a cold sweat. Who knows when he will kill me for no reason? "What do you do?" Alessio leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Are you trying to run away?"
"Hey, what's going on, Your Excellency Governor, how can we be so casual, bah, how can we escape!"
I spread my hands and held back my panic. I finally found such a lame excuse. I wonder if this guy will trust me again like he did before?
This guy stared at me with his eyes wide open, and I looked like a clown. I couldn't see his expression clearly, so who knew whether he was laughing or angry.
"Oh, yes, yes Mr. Luca, I know, I know." Aresio nodded rapidly, and the dagger in his hand was clenched tightly at this time. Coupled with his cold eyes, my spine numbed, and I even forgot how to say the perfunctory lines next.
"Well," Aresio kept slapping the dagger in his palm, and his eyes looked even colder at me. Who knows when he will suddenly hit me and break my balls. He continued, "You two are also warriors under Aetius, so you must be familiar with the battlefield. After all, you won't run away!" Especially the word "run away", he said it with gritted teeth, which made me tremble with fear.
"Of course not, my Lord Governor."

I patted my chest towards Aresio and said solemnly, "Your Excellency the Governor, Andrew and I came out because we wanted to, ah, follow those brave barbarians, bah, brave soldiers defending the city. No, I just walked here and saw you, Your Excellency the Governor. Isn't this a coincidence?"
"So, you and Mr. Andrew, are you really determined to stick to our city until it is liberated or destroyed? Will you fight for us?" Aresio looked at me, his tone was really serious.
"Of course!" I had to take such a serious question seriously. "Of course we will fulfill our duties without hesitation, because we are Roman soldiers, you can rest assured about that."
Don't worry, don't worry, I'm so scared. The soldiers behind Aresio have formed a semicircle. God knows if they will rush over and chop us into pieces and throw us into the sewer if I say "no". The only thing I am sure of is that he doesn't trust me at all. Well, as long as he doesn't kill Andrew and me, everything is fine. "What? You don't trust me? Hey, the guy with the sword pulled out, what's going on?"
"Of course, of course, I believe you, Mr. Luca." Alessio's voice sounded like a smile, he put away the ornate dagger, and then said to me: "It just so happens that we are short of manpower, and there are really few people like you two who are well-trained. Come on, I will arrange a position for you."
What else could I do but nod, and I didn’t know what Andrew behind me was thinking.
Sorry, I wasted too much time issuing tickets on the road today.
