Chapter 207 The Ninth Legion

The move of Theodosius II was not only to promote Luca, but also to let Luca lead the legions belonging to the Eastern Empire to appear on the territory of the Western Empire, so that those Roman and non-Roman nobles would know that the Flavius ​​family was the real ruler of the Roman Empire!

For Luca, these few months were almost like a dream. From an unknown little pawn, he became the adopted son of the Flavius ​​family and the commander of the legion. The humiliation and persecution in the past few years finally came to an end at this moment. He had the ability to recover all the debts owed to him by his political enemies. At this time, whether to laugh or cry, Luca couldn't think of what expression to use. He only knew that he succeeded, and that was enough!

"Go and prove yourself! Aurelius Flavius ​​Luca!" Theodosius II stood up, patted the shoulder of Luca who was still in a daze, and deliberately added Flavius's surname to his name to prove that he was indeed a member of Flavius's family.

"So, what about Andrew? How are you going to arrange for him?" Luga managed to stay sober, which enabled him not to forget his good comrade even when he received such an honor.

"Oh, Andrew, he is a qualified bodyguard, but he is prone to lose his mind at a critical moment. I need a Roman, not a guy of barbarian descent." Theodosius II's evaluation of Andrew was very pertinent, but this was also the reason why he adopted Luca instead of Andrew as his adopted son. "But he is a loyal and trustworthy guy, I think it is more appropriate to keep him by my side."

Luga swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. He was uneasy and excited about the future.

"Well, let's discuss the name of your new legion. After all, this is a very important matter." Theodosius II looked at Luca with a smile.

"What name should we give it? Gemina or Trajan? Those names are too old-fashioned. Apollo, Zeus, Mars, Hercules? None of them are original."

Luca was in a dilemma. While thinking hard, Levi flashed through his mind. The grim smile of Levi when he took Ana from Luca made Luca feel his heart twisted. He thought of Ana when she was taken away, and burst into tears. (Well, Luca didn't know this part at all, because he was knocked unconscious at the time, but his deep imagination made him make up the story himself, but the story was so vivid that he couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth with hatred.) Yes, he couldn't wait to take revenge on everyone who had hurt him, including Aetius and the Senate.

At this moment, a scene flashed through his mind. It was a scene from a movie, in which a bloody centurion, holding an eagle flag, was fleeing from the barbarians and eventually disappeared.

"Ninth Legion, sanctions!"

Luka murmured, as if this suddenly made his eyes clear. He seemed to have thought of a name that could prove himself and represent himself: the Ninth Legion, Sanctions! Use the Legendary Legion as the number and add a new name.

"The Ninth Legion..." Theodosius II thought for a moment, his face showing anger, and said, "That was the legion that went north from Hadrian's Wall in the former British province of the empire. It disobeyed God's command and was tragically destroyed. It was a cursed legion. Why did you think of this?"

"I just want to make achievements, I don't think too much about it."

"Then, is there no other choice? I was thinking of appointing Theodosius as the Eighth Legion. Since this is your choice, let's decide it!" Theodosius II seemed quite magnanimous.

"Okay, that's it for today. Go back and pack up. Don't forget to call my servants in when you go out. Thank you, my child." Theodosius II was not shy. When he said this, especially the word "my child", Luca trembled all over. He still didn't get used to his current status. If he wanted to get used to it, it would take at least some time.

Almost by his own consciousness, he walked out of Theodosius II's study. At this time, Andrew had already been standing at the door, pacing back and forth, as if he was very anxious. When he saw Luca leave the door, he hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong, Luca, what did Caesar say to you?"

"I'm going back right away!"

Luca looked a little heavy-hearted, and he didn't look happy at all, which made Andrew very confused. He wanted to ask this bastard who had taken advantage of him for an explanation, but now he didn't know how to open his mouth. Looking at Luca's receding back, Andrew didn't know what to say.

Damn it, he got a father without anyone knowing, which was hard for Luga to accept. However, he could get a legion, and the real thing, which was more real than anyone else's promise.

The duty was over. Today was the last time that Luca served as the close guard of Theodosius II. During the handover, he met someone he considered an acquaintance.

"Arminius..."

Luca whispered, looking at Arminius who was fully armed and dressed neatly. Similarly, Arminius felt the same surprise when he saw Luca, but there was more jealousy and resentment in Arminius's eyes besides surprise.

"Well, from now on, it's up to you!" Luca handed the shield in his hand to Arminius.

Arminius slowly took the shield, looking displeased, and said in a low voice: "Of course, Caesar's adopted son!"

These provocative words were obviously meant to irritate Luca, but to Arminius's surprise, this guy who was a few years younger than him didn't feel any anger at all. He remained calm, let go and walked away, leaving Arminius looking back at his back and gritting his teeth, leaving him angry but gaining nothing.

At least I have an army, and he is just rubbing his heels. He is obviously jealous of me. Humph, this is all because he has no ability to get angry, and in the end he is the one who suffers. I should have stopped doing such things a few years ago! Luca said in his heart and turned back to his room.

"Tomorrow, I'll say goodbye to Andrew!" Lu Jia thought, he was ready to say goodbye. Right now, returning to the country to seek revenge was the top priority.

The next day, Luca packed up his luggage and was ready to go. He couldn't wait to see his legion! When he went out, the first person he saw was Andrew, who was riding a warhorse with fifty fully armed cavalrymen.

"Andrew?" Luca went out and looked at Andrew and asked, "Shouldn't you be on guard? After all, you are Augustus's close bodyguard."

"Ha, no one is as ruthless as you!" Andrew deliberately mocked: "Augustus felt that you needed a strong assistant, so he chose me!"

"Oh, you bastard!"

I was thinking about how to say goodbye, but it seems there is no need.
