Chapter 305 Village
Levi was heartbroken, and all the pain turned into tears that flowed out of his red and swollen eyes again. No matter how the two soldiers behind him persuaded him, he would not listen. At this moment, he was like a child.
"Luga, what should we do with him?" Andrew came behind Luga and pointed at him, as if hinting at something. Was he going to throw this guy in and make Luga fulfill his promise?
"Forget it!" Luka looked at this poor guy, not knowing what to say. He was now the most pitiful person. He must have had a hard time for such a long time. He thought his life was already dull, but he didn't expect that the sudden deception would leave such a blow to this guy. Looking at this crying boy, Luka seemed to be unable to be cruel at that moment. There are many ways to punish the other party, and the best punishment is to see the other party become as embarrassed as he was back then.
"Let him calm down here. Maybe he will figure it out, or maybe he will never figure it out." Lu Jia said, sighed, turned around and said, "This is his own problem. It has nothing to do with us. All we can do now is to watch from the sidelines, neither comfort him nor laugh at him."
No one knew how much these rough guys behind Luca understood. But what Luca meant was that he should not continue to be in a stalemate with Levi, because he was just a fool who was drowning in pain and couldn't extricate himself.
"Let's go back!" Luca let out a long sigh and carefully tidied his clothes.
"Where are we going?" Andrew asked carefully.
"Let's go into the city." Luga continued, "I once said that I would find Anai. No matter what, I would find Anai even if I had to turn the entire Ludinan upside down."
"But if we go back to Ludinan now, such a big commotion will attract too much attention." Andrew said worriedly, "Now there are many people in Ludinan who are eyeing us, especially the soldiers guarding the city who wanted to arrest you after the riot in the tavern just now. We arrived in time and stopped them outside the door. Otherwise, if they caught you in Aetius' territory, you would be in trouble."
"So how did you deal with it?" Luca asked.
"We gave a lot of Suledes." Andrew shrugged and continued, "Luckily, we met the leader who was short of money. If we met someone who didn't like money, it would be a big trouble. If you fight inside and we fight outside, it would be a riot and a war!"
"There is no problem that cannot be solved with money, Andrew." Luca took out a Souledes from his pocket and said, "No one here would have a problem with money. Now is a time of chaos and uncertainty. Who doesn't want to make a little extra money? Even if it's to bribe others, it still requires a little capital, right?"
This seems to make sense, but Andrew will definitely not let Luca take this risk again. After all, if anything happens to Luca, the morale of the 15,000 men will be shaken. The result of the shaken army is that they will scatter and pack up their luggage to go home. No one can accept that all the hard work will end up in vain.
After much persuasion, Andrew finally convinced Luca, and dragged Luca towards the military camp outside the city.
After walking for half an hour, Luca and his party arrived at a small village not far from the city. Luca was very familiar with this place. This was the village where the old coachman lived.
A group of people holding torches and fully armed walked into the village. A group of soldiers entering the village was no small matter.
The guard dog had been barking loudly for a long time. No one knew who had tipped off the enemy that they had entered the village. The bells rang loudly. This group of people had made a big start. The "welcome ceremony" had alarmed the entire village. Others thought that the barbarians had invaded and were coming to steal food. A group of disheveled rural men rushed out of their homes holding various farm tools and sticks, and they were ready to have a big fight with Luca and his men.
"Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!" Such a big battle naturally alarmed the guards behind Lujia, and they all drew out their iron swords to meet the villagers who rushed out. Seeing more than a dozen iron swords shining silver in the firelight, the villagers knew they could not defeat them, so they stopped in time before the two sides collided, staring with terrified eyes at the guys coming from Ludinan. The two sides were facing each other at a distance of less than five meters.
"They seem to be Romans."
At this time, the discerning people in the village immediately recognized the attire of the guards behind Luga. This was bad, because these were government soldiers. If those guys robbed the government soldiers of their weapons, they would come back and be hanged as a mob!
The Roman helmets, the Spada iron swords, and their looks made it impossible to compare them with those tall, strong, and smelly barbarians. The villagers hesitated and began to retreat slowly. After all, no one wanted to make a big fuss before that.
"My Lord! Oh, my Lord!"
At this time, an old voice came from behind the villagers, and an old man pushed aside the young man who was blocking the way and came to the middle of the confrontation. He introduced himself to Lujia and his group, "Sir, I am the head of this village. If you have any requests, please tell me. I will try my best to meet your requests with the existing capacity of our village."
The old man looked like a man who had seen the world. Seeing so many fully armed soldiers, he was naturally respectful, fearing that there would be any mistakes. He stood in front of the group of villagers, with a pleading look on his face, waving his hands at Luka and his group, as if asking Luka and them to calm down their anger.
"Why does this old guy look so familiar?"
Andrew had good eyesight, and even in dim light, he could see some clues. He quickly leaned over to Luca's ear and whispered.
"oh?"
After hearing this, Luka was immediately filled with curiosity. He had been in this village for half a day before, and everyone except the old driver was a stranger to him. How come he recognized the village chief when he saw him now? Luka thought about it, took a torch from the soldier, and approached the old village chief. Hey, you know what, this old guy is the old guy who took advantage of the situation!

"Oh, you're worthy of being a man who runs back and forth and has seen the world, so you get promoted very quickly." Luga said jokingly as he looked at the old village chief.
"Uh, my lord." The old village chief smiled apologetically with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. He didn't know what Luca meant by saying this or what he wanted to express. He just stood there with his eyes wide open, at a loss as to what to do.
"Old man, you are such a forgetful person!" Luca said as he pulled off the cloak covering his head, exposing his entire face. He then let the old man see it clearly through the firelight, and then asked, "Don't you recognize me, old man?"
“You, you!”
After finally getting a closer look, the old man pointed at Luga, his eyes wide open, his expression filled with surprise and even more fear.
"Sir, my sir." The fear on the old village chief's face only flashed for a moment, and then he returned to his previous expression, pretending to be serious. He must have known something.
