Chapter 149 Intimidation
The wolf had just landed on the ground, and before it could turn around, Yunus seized the opportunity and rushed forward with his sword!
"Why?" Alessio raised a slight smile, turned his head to look at Aetius beside him, and said, "You didn't come to me to ask me to be a middleman to mediate the conflict between you and Mr. Boniface, did you?"
"DIE! DIE!"
Eunice roared and thrust his sword to stab, but the wolf, whose balance was unstable, had no time to react. It seemed that Eunice was going to succeed.
Suddenly, at that moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the thick smoke around, dragging a long "tail" on the ground, and rushed straight towards Eunice's body like a gust of wind.
"not good!"
Eunice cried out inwardly that something was wrong and suddenly turned sideways to block with his shield in front of him.
“Boom!”
The wolf's hard head hit Yunis's shield hard, and the force was so strong that Yunis retreated again and again. The last wolf in the dust also seized the opportunity and roared and pounced on him. Yunis turned back suddenly and swung his left hand, which was tightly holding the shield on his left hand, just when the wolf was about to pounce on him.
"Bang!"
The heavy shield smashed hard on the wolf's head. The wolf was able to seize such a crucial opportunity not only because of Eunice's extraordinary fighting skills, but also because of God's favor, or rather, his trick.
"Just as you are unwilling to do, Aetius." Aresio said, playing with the silver wine glass in his hand. He was thinking in his mind that no matter what method he used, he wanted to make Aetius, the unlucky star, leave his sight quickly. "I know you are jealous of Boniface. He has such achievements and extraordinary military talents. He will not cheat behind the scenes, nor will he threaten others like a speculator. The most important thing is that he is a Roman!" Aresio said the word Roman very heavily. He did not do it unintentionally, but deliberately, for Aetius to hear. He wanted to anger Aetius, to anger him without regard for the consequences. He hoped that this guy who was not even worthy of the title of nobility would leave his sight as soon as possible.
But Aetius's behavior was far beyond his expectations. Aetius just looked at him and smiled, looking calm, and was not at all angered or affected by Alessio's words that were obviously directed at him.
What on earth had this guy been through? Aresio was secretly surprised by the amazing calmness displayed by Aetius: "Is he forbearing?" Aresio thought to himself, watching Aetius without any anger or even a hint of anger.
"Indeed, Mr. Boniface is indeed excellent and upright." Aetius said, raising his glass and drinking the wine in the glass, and then handed the empty glass back to Aresio. He said: "Even if he has countless advantages for you, Mr. Treasurer, but such a Roman did not remain loyal to his country and people!"
"ah!!!"
As soon as Aetius finished speaking, he heard Eunice's scream from the arena! The scream made all the audience on the stage secretly exclaim, and their expressions were full of disbelief.
When repelling the wolf that was charging at him, Yunis had no time to pay attention to the wolf that had just missed his attack from behind. At this moment, the ferocious wolf pounced on Yunis' back. The impact made him stumble forward and almost fall to the ground.
The audience let out the first cry of surprise. It seemed to them that Yunis had already been caught in a fierce battle just after the match had begun. The girls who were obsessed with Yunis were unwilling to see their beloved hero in such an embarrassing state, and they all stood up to cheer him on. God knows how many of them secretly met with this gladiator, the so-called life-taker, and devoted themselves to him. If he died, who knows how many illegitimate children would lose their biological father.
"What did you say?" Aresio looked at Aetius with a gloomy look, and he raised the volume of his voice a lot, causing the other nobles and retainers around to look at him sideways. Aresio quickly realized his impoliteness, and he lowered his voice quickly, but the matter was not resolved, and he had to get to the bottom of it!
"Do you know that you will be killed if you say that?" Aresio stared fiercely at Aetius who was still smiling. He gradually felt a little bit of fear, which was brought to him by Aetius, a barbarian who was not even a Roman. "Do you know the consequences of lying, Aetius? You are playing with fire! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have enough field legions and Huns in your hands!"
Aetius saw the uneasiness in Aresio's heart and began to realize that his threats had worked. He sneered at Aresio and said, "Mr. Treasurer, I understand your distrust because I have the latest information. Not only you, but the entire arena, including Placidia, knows nothing about this."
The smile on Aetius's face was still so natural, and he looked confident. Could it be true? Aresio's heart began to beat. If Boniface's treason was confirmed, then as the cavalry governor of Gaul, Aetius would definitely get the permission of the regent queen Placidia to attack or defend against Boniface. Then his collusion with Boniface would be obvious to all, and people would almost think that they were in a homosexual relationship. In this case, his life would be in danger.
After all, Yunus was a gladiator who had experienced life and death. He would not just sit there and wait for death when he was attacked like this. He immediately stabilized his center of gravity and kicked back violently, causing his entire body to fly into the air and hit the ground heavily. He was not seriously injured, but the wild wolf behind him that was about to bite him howled in pain.
"Go to hell!"
Eunice, whose eyes were already red with anger, suddenly stood up and turned around, swinging the sword in his hand, as if he was going to cut the damn beast in half!
"laugh!"
The brief victory made him forget that the wolf had two companions. Just as Yunus swung his sword, another wolf pounced on him. This time it did not bite Yunus' back, but directly bit his sword-holding arm! "Ah!!!"
Eunice immediately felt unbearable pain in his right arm tearing his muscles, and a force was constantly pulling his right hand downward.

The audience exclaimed in surprise. They saw that Eunice was injured, so the chance of winning became even slimmer. The girls and ladies who were obsessed with Eunice burst into tears. It seemed that the outcome was already decided.
"Damn beast!"
Yunis was unwilling to lose like this. He roared and exerted force on his injured right arm. He saw bright red blood spurting out of the mouth of the wolf that bit Yunis's right arm. Yunis threw the wolf to the ground and immediately raised his shield to smash the wolf's eyes and brain.
“Ka-ka-la…”
The continuous attacks made the wolf lying on the ground quickly give up resistance and became a corpse in a pool of blood. At this time, the audience who saw everything clearly burst into warm cheers. It seems that Yunus has regained his form. So can he continue to work hard? "Are you sure that Boniface has rebelled?" Aresio still didn't trust Aetius. After all, facing the alienation of someone he had no contact with, Aresio still refused to believe that Boniface had betrayed him.
"I'm afraid that after this game, you will really have no choice, Lord Treasurer!" Aetius smiled and then pointed to the honorary seats of the Emperor and the Regent Queen opposite.
