Chapter 42 Recapture

"You know what? I've seen a lot of guys like you who are full of justice." Levi weighed the iron sword in his hand, and then said, "It's a pity. I don't know what they believe in, God? Or the gods of Olympus? Anyway, they all went to see the gods they longed for. I thought I would never see such people again, but I didn't expect that you, a freak squatting to relieve yourself, would become the new guy who disgusts me. Okay, I'm tired of it too. Don't meddle with it. Get out of here."

"That's enough! Put away your self-righteous tricks!" I also weighed the Spada iron sword in my hand, looked at him angrily and said, "This is not a question of whether it belongs to the regular army or not, this is a question of the integrity of the soldiers of a country!"

"Ha, what a question of integrity." This word made Levi laugh: "Really, Orius Luca, you should be thankful that the Huns don't understand our language, otherwise, they would have torn you to pieces long ago!"

"Even if I die, it will be more comfortable than living in servility!"

"Hey, Livi!" The Hun behind Livi shouted in stiff Latin: "Why, stand there, fight! Fight! Fight!"

"Hit! Hit! Hit!"

The accompanying Hun cavalry shouted together, forcing Levi to take action.

"Look, your master wants you to fight with me! Move, little dog, don't let your master down!" Now it was finally my turn to mock him. I couldn't wait any longer and whistled at him, like calling a dog: "Come on, come on, little dog! Whoosh!"

"Oh, you really piss me off!"

Such an insult made his face flush red. He roared angrily and rushed towards me. I leaned over and weighed the iron sword in my hand, muttering to myself: "Come on, you little dog!"

"drink!"

Levi roared and pounced towards me, raising the iron sword high and slashing at me. I suddenly turned sideways, and the sword chopped down along the chain mail on my chest, bringing out large sparks.

“That was a close call!”

Although the iron sword hit my armor, it did not cause any obvious damage to it. Just as I was feeling relieved, I felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and then I felt a sudden blow to my chest, which almost made me unable to breathe. The traitor took the opportunity to hit my chest hard, forcing me to retreat again and again.

"good!"

The Huns and his subordinates behind Levi were cheering loudly, shouting in stiff Latin. It seemed that this traitor had a special status for the Huns! The more they shouted behind Levi, the angrier I got. This lackey was so aggressive, where did he put his face, on his butt? Levi didn't bite me to death, but quickly retreated, holding the sword in both hands and approaching me to the right little by little, looking at me vigilantly, trying to find a flaw in me. I was also vigilant, walking in the opposite direction of him, in order to keep enough distance from him.

"You still have a chance now, give up, run, they won't chase you!"

Li Wei whispered to me and backed away on his own accord. It seemed that he hoped I would stay away from him, so that he would not be bothered by me.

"What? Are you scared?"

I was still very curious. The thought that this guy actually gave in made me secretly happy. I thought this was a golden opportunity. If I pushed him a little, he would admit his bad luck and return the girl's things to him. Since he gave me this way, I would not give in, and I would not let him push me to a certain extent.

Levi just shook his head and said to me: "I'm not afraid of you, but I don't want to waste our precious time because of you!"

"That's fine, you just need to return the girl's ring to her!"

After listening to this, Li Wei pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said to me: "Sorry, I may not be able to do it, because this is a tribute to the Huns. Since it has been paid as tribute, why should it be taken back?"

"Then we have nothing to discuss!" I raised my sword and pointed it at Levi again, my tone becoming firm and unyielding: "You must return the ring to her. God knows that if you took away such an ordinary ring so casually, you might have taken her life?" I looked at the girl again. Her face was pale, and she lay motionless in the arms of her crying mother. She was in a very bad condition, and the pool of blood under her skirt was getting bigger and bigger. I couldn't wait any longer!

"You return the ring to her, and I'll give you all my military pay, a total of seventy-five denarii, as an exchange!"

"Why?"

This traitor was so calm in such a situation that it was outrageous. He looked at the girl coldly. The tears of the girl's mother did not win him any sympathy! "The Huns want nothing more than Ludinan's wealth, not the Roman soldiers including the mercenaries of Denarius! If a sense of justice is overflowing, keep the money to treat the girl!"

"You, you are a true traitor!"

I no longer cared about the flaws. I just wanted to teach this traitor a lesson. I thrust my sword forward, stared at his chest, and stabbed him. Levi didn't hesitate at all and blocked with his sword.

"when!"

My sword was blocked, and when I looked up, everything went dark. Levi's punch made me see stars.

"Beast!"

This punch really made me furious. After I recovered a little, I jumped up again, raised my sword, and this time I chopped his neck directly. Death! Yes, I want him to die!

Such a reckless attack is naturally full of loopholes. Levi seized my loophole and took two steps back slowly, then swung his sword fiercely! "Ha-ka!"

With a crisp sound, the Spada iron sword in my hand was cut off.

"Damn it!" I was stunned, and my mind went blank. In this moment of gap, Levi pounced on me and grabbed my neck. Now I was like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Although there are some things you don't understand! But this is not something you should understand!" Levi said softly, leaning close to me, and tripped me by the ankle, knocking me to the ground. Afraid that I would stand up and resist again, he quickly came over and kicked the broken Spada iron sword next to my right hand to the side of the road. Not only that, he bent down and took the purse from my waist, opened the purse in front of me, and quickly counted it.

"You really didn't lie to me. You really have seventy-five denarii." Levi weighed my purse and said to me with a proud look on his face, "I was worried that you didn't have the money before, but now it's all right. I don't have to worry anymore, so I'll take your money."

As he said this, he sheathed his sword, turned back to the Hun, handed my purse to the Hun, and said a few words. Seeing the Hun weighing the purse and nodding repeatedly, Levi understood, went to the carriage to find the jewelry box along with the ordinary silver ring, came back to me, held it up and showed it to me.

"Silver ring, jewelry box, nothing is missing, return to the original owner." Levi put the ring into the jewelry box, placed it next to me, and returned to his room. I struggled to support myself, rubbing the place on my neck that had just been pinched. The bastard used so much force that I couldn't breathe for a while. But fortunately, the jewelry box was returned, which was the only insignificant benefit I could earn for this poor girl.

I stood up, picked up the jewelry box, and gently placed it in the girl's hand. The girl's mother's eyes were swollen from crying. She looked up at me with gratitude in her eyes.

"Thank you, this is the only gift that Anais's fiancé gave her." The poor mother wiped her tears and tried to smile at me.

I felt very upset, but I just helped the poor old woman carry her daughter, the Gaul named Anais, back to their dilapidated house.
