Chapter 13 Bargaining

There were more than a hundred people coming over here. Even if Xiang Yu was possessed, he would have a hard time winning. Unexpectedly, this stubborn guy still wouldn't let go. This made Lujia very worried. He begged the archers on the city gate to be patient. Their little impulse would cost Lujia a life.

"Asshole, how dare you threaten the gatekeepers!"

Without further ado, the officer drew out his iron sword and prepared for battle. He glared at Andrew and asked in a stern voice, "You are wearing the armor of the Imperial Legion. Very good. Then, which legion are you from? I want to see what kind of general can lead such lawless soldiers!"

"The Seventh Gemina Legion!"

Andrew was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he became proud. He puffed out his chest like a rooster. The threat from the officer did not shake him at all.

"Gamina!"

The officer sneered at the two of them, thinking that these days, liars have no bottom line, even daring to impersonate the heroic legion that died for their country. However, he still had his own ideas. Instead of jumping in directly, it would be better to test the waters first, so he asked: "We are not short of liars here. Can you show me the proof?"

“This is the proof!”

Andrew sheathed his sword and waved the flag in his hand to signal the officer.

"Bring it here."

The officer reached out to take the flagpole from Andrew, apparently wanting to test its authenticity, but Andrew was not a fool. How could such a stupid trick fool him? Andrew waved his hand and took the flag into his arms, not letting the officer touch it. Luca couldn't help but sigh, because if he couldn't even touch it, how could the officer succeed? Seeing that the officer's face turned pale and blue, it seemed that he was used to ordering people around. It was probably the first time that a soldier rejected him mercilessly with just a "get out". This guy really looked a bit overwhelmed!

"Your armor looks very fitting. Considering that you are a Roman citizen, you have the courage to scavenge on the battlefield. Tell me, how much is that thing in your hand?"

"Sir, I am not a scavenger!"

"So what are you? A soldier from the Gemina Legion?"

Andrew nodded, "Ha!" Unexpectedly, the officer actually laughed dryly, as if we naively thought he was a monkey being fooled. "It has been more than half a month since the destruction of the Gemina Legion, but the armor you are wearing is obviously new, which does not prove that you are from the Gemina Legion at all!"

“Oh my god!”

Hearing this, Lujia almost cursed out loud. Do they have to dress like beggars to prove their identity? But because of face (those dozens of arrows are still pointed at me!), Lujia is not an alien with any special skills, but just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has a hard time even getting sick. So in the face of life and death, Lujia chose to remain silent!

"Isn't this enough?" Andrew let go of the guard, and the guard fell to the ground and ran away using his hands and feet.

"Everyone, retreat!"

The officer shouted to the city wall, and dozens of archers put away their bows and arrows and stood still. However, they did not leave. Instead, they stared at Andrew and me. I knew they would draw their bows and arrows again and pierce us like hedgehogs without mercy! "Gentlemen, I will assume that you two are scavengers who know what you are talking about. I know your intentions when you come here. You just want to sell it for a good price. Don't worry, we will definitely offer a price that satisfies you. I will allow you to keep your armor and weapons."

As he said this, he reached out to take the legion's flag again, but this time Andrew once again rejected him mercilessly!

"I can't give it to you!" Andrew took a few steps back. "If I give it to you, there will be nothing to prove our identities!"

"What are your identities?" The officer glanced at them with disdain. "Tell me, name your price. How about five hundred Yas?"

"Five hundred yas?"

Luka was stunned that this thing was worth so much money. All he could think about was a bunch of gold coins. But he didn't know that gold coins here are called Oren. He quickly ran to Andrew and whispered, "Hey, this thing, 500 Yas, how much is it?"

"Humph, it's not worth much. It can only keep us well fed and well fed for a month."

“That’s just a little!”

After hearing what Andrew said, Luca was a little dissatisfied. This is the flag of a legion. No matter what, it can't be so cheap and worthless. We brought this flagpole like this, and you actually offered such a low price. At least you should let us eat and drink well and not worry about the rest of our lives, right? Just 500 As, what can we do? But Luca didn't dare to say it so clearly, because if he said the money was too little, it would tear down Andrew's stand and challenge the patience of the Roman officer. At that time, the Roman officer would not even need to do it, Andrew would kill him with his own hands! Luca had just arrived and didn't want to die so young, so he had to wait and see what the officer had to say to Andrew.

"I'm not in this for the money, sir!"

Andrew looked very anxious now. Luca clearly saw tears in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let the tears fall down for the sake of face. His look was heartbreaking, but the officer was not moved by it. His eyes were still cold, like a pair of frozen eyes that would not be melted by warmth at all.

"Sir, I, Andrew, a front-row soldier of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Regiment of the 7th Gemina Legion, would like to personally request a meeting with our commander Aetius! The great Marshal Aetius will prove it for me!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Humph," the officer snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain. "Just you? You want to see Aetius? Do you think Marshal Aetius is God? You are the only scavenger who casually call yourself a Roman soldier like you who can see him!" The officer became angrier and angrier. He drew out his iron sword and pointed it at Andrew, threateningly, "Now, you stinky beggar, I don't want to waste too much time here with you. Let me give you two choices. First, give me the flag, and I will offer a higher price to get you out. Second, this is even easier. I will kill you and your friends right now, and then take the flag away. Don't worry, I will act quickly and guarantee that I will not let you and your friends suffer too much. I have killed many Goths and I am experienced!"

"Sir, we are all Roman soldiers. I don't want to make this matter so embarrassing!" Although Andrew kept saying that he didn't want to cause trouble, his hand was still honestly on the hilt of the sword, his eyes fixed on the gorgeously dressed officer. The temperature around him almost dropped to freezing point. Everyone held their breath and watched the two tall and strong warriors with Germanic ancestry confronting each other.

Luca looked at his body. The bloodline of this body was probably Roman Latin, with black hair and fair skin. Recently, due to the good nutrition, my face was still a little rosy. My black eyes were just like mine when I was alive, full of Asian characteristics, except that I was not as tall as the Germans, who seemed to have a big hole in the ceiling.

Dozens of archers on the city gate tower were already weighing their bows. They did not intend to let their superiors get involved in a duel.

Luca took the opportunity to quickly pick up the shield and iron sword that had fallen to the ground. His heart was pounding, wondering if Andrew could control his already impatient temper. Looking at the officer, he had already taken off the wolfskin draped over his shoulders, folded it carefully, and handed it to the soldier who was accompanying him, and took the shield from the soldier.

"Hey, Luka!" Andrew turned around and looked at Luka and called out, "Give me the shield in your hand!"

Hearing Andrew's words, Luca did not dare to hesitate. He quickly loosened the belt on the shield and threw it towards Andrew. Andrew took it and held it tightly in his left hand, and drew out the iron sword with his right hand not very skillfully. It seemed that he could not avoid this battle!

Please, please, please!!! Recommendation votes ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
