Chapter 48 Chief Centurion

The flying stone just now made me see stars. Although I have the protection of an iron helmet, this is not a solution. Through the gap in the shield, I clearly saw this guy named Guy throwing the stone in his hand with a sneer on his face, and his eagle-like eyes were staring at me all the time.

"Watch your position! Damn it! Could it be that the soldiers from the Seventh Legion, a legion that is so highly valued by Aetius, can't even form the most basic formation?" Chief Centurion Guy shouted angrily, and then a flying stone hit me. Fortunately, I was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and I swung down my shield to block the flying stone.

"when!"

I felt the shield in my hand sink, and then I saw the stone fall at my feet. I gritted my teeth and cursed in my heart, but I didn't dare to do anything extreme. I could only follow the trumpeter's sound and move forward step by step!

"Ha, good blocking!"

What I didn't expect was that when the stone hit nothing, the guy didn't show any sign of frustration or dissatisfaction. Instead, he applauded and cheered. I heard him say, "Well done, new guy. You successfully saved your precious life with your reaction!"

This is a confirmation, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Through the shield, I saw that bastard bending down to pick up a stone! My nerves, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up again. This guy is still looking at me. It's over, it's over. This guy is so accurate. If he shoots me in the head again, I'm afraid I will be like the poor guy next to me with a nosebleed! Thinking of this, I quickly hid my whole body behind the shield, ready to withstand the blow of the stone again! "Bang!"

There was another sound, but this time the target of the flying stone was not me, but the soldier on the other side. I was wondering which unlucky guy had caught the attention of this guy. Fortunately, the soldier was smart and blocked his brutal flying stone, but at this time, I heard the chief centurion Guy cursing again.

"Hey! Idiot, are you just watching my moves? How dare you stick your head out to look! Why don't you come out of the army formation and see clearly in front of me! Stupid thing!" Guy was getting more and more angry. At first, he was pacing back and forth with the stone in his hand, looking for the weaknesses of our tortoise shell formation, such as the lax soldiers. But he was only one person after all, and we were a large square formation formed by several small square formations. The dense shields made people feel overwhelmed at first glance. Not everyone's movements in the formation can be 100% standardized during the movement, and it is even more difficult to correct them. It's like playing whack-a-mole. A dozen holes are already a bit overwhelming, let alone a huge square formation composed of hundreds of people? Guy stuck his head out and looked around. He looked to the left and the people on the right were a little lax. He looked to the right and the people on the left were lax again. I can see this kind of disorganization and lack of discipline. It can also explain why there are so many centurions. It's a team that is completely put together! "You, oh, sons of bitches!"

Guy was furious, pointing at us and yelling, "If there were no one in the army and I didn't like those barbarians, I would break your legs! Oh, my God, how did you lazy guys survive on the battlefield!" It was useless to talk, he picked up all the stones under his feet, not caring whether he hit anyone or not, closed his eyes and threw them, and the army was in a state of "ping-pong-pong". Soon, all the stones in his arms were thrown away, and the scope of supervision was still not too high or too low.

Guy was lost in thought. I could clearly see him lowering his head and picking at the freshly shaved beard on his chin. I didn't know what he was picking at. But even so, I didn't dare to relax, for fear of falling into this guy's trap. If I eat his stone, I will really understand why the flowers are so red!

"Ha! I've figured out how to deal with you, you bastards!"

It was only a moment before I heard the chief centurion let out a very, very exaggerated laugh from his big mouth, which made my spine chill. He turned around and whispered something to the trumpeter, saying what was going on so brilliantly, and the trumpeter was so happy that his face was red, and he glanced at us with a sly smile. After he finished speaking, the trumpeter nodded repeatedly and trotted out of the camp gate.

"Oh no, this guy must have come up with some bad idea!"

Andrew was feeling uneasy behind me, and other people around were whispering to each other. I think the main topic was guessing what this guy was up to.

“Alright, alright!”

Guy's gloomy face disappeared, and he looked at us with a smile. He stretched out his hand to signal us to relax, and then said: "Put down your shields. I declare now that it's time to rest!"

But when the order came down, no one responded. Everyone held up their shields and stood still. No one wanted to be the first to try something new.

"how?"

Guy looked at us with a puzzled look on his face. "Why didn't you listen to me when I told you to rest?" After asking this, no one in the square formation responded. Even the leaders standing in the front didn't have the courage to move.

"Right." Guy laughed again. "If your performance was like that just now, I wouldn't have much dissatisfaction. But now, hum, it's too late to tell you!" Guy clapped his hands, turned around and found a stool to sit down, looked at us and asked again: "I say, are you going to take a break or not?"

Since everyone was sitting down, it seemed that there was no major threat. The leading centurions stood up and walked out of the team first. They turned around and shouted at us: "Phalanx, rest where you are!"

"call!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put down their shields one after another. I rubbed my sore shoulders, still curious about what the commander who went out was doing.

Many people in the team sat down. Most of them probably thought the same as me, wondering what this inhuman guy had done behind the scenes. He was so angry just now, but in the blink of an eye he was grinning. In other words, this guy is really a mean person!

Just a few minutes after resting, the sound of rolling wheels was heard outside the door, and the sound made people feel a little scared. Everyone turned their eyes to the camp gate. It seemed that it was time to witness what the guy had planned.

"This is going to be a tough one, Luka. You have to be careful."

Andrew reminded me behind me. I didn't know what to say. Anyway, let's take a look and see what gift Guy has given us. 　Speaking of the recommendation votes, oh, that's really my life. I wonder if the readers dare to vote for me? Thank you! Thank you!
