Chapter 248 Alessio

"Do you really think that Augustus can save you?" Luca changed his guilty look just now. He straightened his chest and looked confident.

"But you lied to me, Orius Luca!" Aresio stood with his hands behind his back, his flawed face still behind the brass mask, and pointed at Luca with one hand. His eyes were not only filled with anger, but his words also revealed extreme resentment. "I originally thought you were a loyal and excellent soldier, but now it seems that you are also a cunning and stubborn person. You are a liar, a hateful liar!" He drew out the iron sword hanging from his waist with a swish, and pointed his sword straight at Luca's heart.

"Soon, you will experience the taste of death. I promise, Orius Luca, I will let you go in peace, because it is not the death of a despicable person like you!" Aresio said, but he felt that the sword in his hand hit a hard place. He used the blade of the sword to pry open the clothes on Luca's chest, and the armor hidden under the clothes revealed several metal scales.

"Ha, it turns out that your status has become much different from before, and your courage has become smaller and smaller, is that so? You are scared to death, right?" Luga's scales became the reason for being ridiculed. He did not make any explanation, but just faced Aresio's blade with his chest straightened.

"You can't wait to kill me now, no, no, no, you want to torture me, you want to see how strong my desire to live is, right?" He didn't know where he got the courage from, facing the iron sword that could pierce his chest at any time and Aresio who was always thinking about killing him, Luga didn't show any fear on his face, which caught Aresio off guard.

Is he bluffing again? Aresio thought, gritted his teeth, and tightened his right hand on the hilt, trying to keep the blade steady and pierce the chest of the traitor in front of him.

"It's just a way to delay time. So, do you want to live longer or call for reinforcements? But I don't see where your reinforcements are." Aresio said and winked at Fred. Fred understood and walked over and snatched Luca's iron sword.

“Your status is indeed different now!” Aresio glanced at the iron sword of Luca in Fred’s hand and couldn’t help but admire: “To be able to hold such a sword, your status must be at least that of the chief centurion, no, the captain of the guards, right? Don’t you feel that you can’t afford to die? After all, you feel that your life is important!”

"No, it's not!" Luca remained calm, which made Aresio more convinced that he was still struggling and trying to be mysterious.

"Accept your fate. You are just a bastard pretending to be calm. Reveal your true nature sooner rather than later. Beg for mercy. Let me see what price you, a deceiver, will pay for your survival!" Alessio took off his mask abruptly, revealing his ugly scar. He stared at Luca with unspeakable hatred, wishing to chop the guy into pieces.

"Alas!" Luca sighed and shook his head in front of Aresio, which made Aresio feel that Luca was very helpless at this time. Even when he was about to die, he still made such a helpless expression, which made Aresio wonder what this guy was up to.

"Why are you sighing?" asked Alessio.

"I lament that you are short-sighted and don't know how to adapt!" Luca looked at Aresio seriously, with a hint of contempt in his expression.

"What a fearless guy!" Aresio thought to himself. He didn't understand why Orius Luca dared to say that he was short-sighted when he was about to die. Was it just to satisfy his eloquence? Aresio wanted to kill him as soon as possible, but his curiosity persuaded him. He sheathed his sword and told himself to listen to what he had to say first. It would not be impossible to kill him later. This guy must have some bad ideas. Otherwise, I would ask him first and make a decision later! "Then tell me and see where I am wrong!" Aresio turned his back and took two steps back. He stopped and said, "But if you can't convince me, I will kill you anyway."

This was a hard-won opportunity. At least Luca could rely on it to survive. He didn't dare to show his small joy on his face. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Sir, it is true that I betrayed you in that operation, although your plan was doomed to fail!"

Alessio turned his head sharply after hearing this. He stared at Luca with bloodshot eyes, and the hilt of the iron sword in his hand made a "clicking" sound. This was not a good sign. Luca did not dare to hesitate, and he quickly continued: "You don't need me to remind you, you also know who the chief of the close guards around Augustus is now."

Aresio had naturally heard of Levi, Aetius's most proud subordinate, but what did it matter? Aresio began to think.

Seeing that Alessio was silent, Luca dared to continue boldly: "At that time, Littorius, a subordinate of Aetius, strongly recommended Levi to become Augustus' close bodyguard. According to Aetius' power, you also understand that if I had told you at that time and told him that all this was instructed by you, Sir Alessio, then what would Littorius do when he knew such an incredible news that you were still alive? He would definitely tell Aetius. With Aetius's intolerant thinking, he would naturally dig three feet into the ground to catch you. Sir, do you think that you and the rest of you can do it?" Luca said, pointing to Fred beside Aetius and the dozen or so people around them.

"With your strength, you can't even withstand the attack of a century. How can you fight against Aetius?"

This question made Alessio fall into silence. Fred on the side snorted coldly and said, "Are you trying to persuade Sir Alessio to cooperate with you, a sycophant, and then be deceived again?" Then he turned his head and looked at Alessio and said, "Sir, we can't trust this guy. He just wants to use your sympathy to save his life! You can't trust such a fickle villain!"

This Fred, who used to be polite to Luca, now refused to believe him no matter what he said. Fred's words made Alessio even more entangled. He didn't know what to do, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Maybe, Fred." Luca shook his head helplessly and continued, "We can cooperate. You understand. I know you are good at using spies, which is exactly what I lack."

"So that's how it is." Alessio squinted at me, then said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the army that came from the south a few days ago was under your command?"

"That's right, wise Lord Aresio."

Having revealed his trump card, Aresio and the others naturally did not dare to act rashly against Luga. After all, with a legion in his hands, Luga's strength at this time was far beyond Aresio's imagination.

"What is your current position?" Aresio gritted his teeth and stared at Luca.

"I can save you, Lord Alessio!" Luca spread out his palms, with a strange light in his eyes. He looked at Alessio, and the look made Alessio unable to refuse!
