Chapter 505 Sheltering

In front of him was the invincible Roman army, and behind him were his fellow tribesmen who fell into the water and struggled for help. This barbarian leader was in a dilemma.

The screams of the person who fell into the water reached Luga's ears. Normally, a killer, especially one with a lot of blood debts, would never care about the life and death of others, because that was a threat that could take his life at any time, so it was right to kill him. But it was different now.

Seeing the barbarian leader looking first forward and then at the river behind him, no one would be more anxious than him except for the guys in the water who needed to be rescued.

"Perhaps we should show mercy at this time." Looking at the barbarian struggling in the water from afar, Luga finally couldn't help but say.

"What? Did I hear you right, Luca?" Aresio pointed at the guys who fell into the water and questioned Luca, "You actually feel sorry for them at this time, then why don't you ask how much of our land they destroyed when they came here, how much food they plundered, and how many people they killed? You can't even see these!"

"I understand your thoughts, Aresio!" Luca said calmly, "But this kind of shelter has conditions!"

"Conditions!" Hearing this word, everyone turned to look at Luca, who said slowly, "They are eager to save people now. We have to say that we have an absolute advantage now. Now, tell them that if they want to survive, they must believe in Christ and abandon their previous gods. In return, we will save them, place them in an abandoned village, and give them seeds and other things to plant."

"What if they don't agree?" Alessio asked.

"Then let's just quietly enjoy their pain." Luga patted his leg armor, nodded at Andrew with an indifferent look.

Andrew understood, then rode forward and said a few simple words to the barbarian leader.

Who would have thought that this barbarian was also a man of emotion. When he heard Andrew's proposal, he started cursing and said a bunch of words that the Romans could not understand.

"What did he say? Andrew." Luca asked not far away.

Andrew rode back and said to Luca, "Unfortunately, Luca, they are willing to give up everything for their Hall of Valor." Andrew shrugged and said helplessly, "It seems that they are not going to give up their beliefs."

"Then the people in the river are definitely dead." Luca was cold-blooded for a moment. He crossed his right leg and sat on the horse's back. He watched the people who fell into the water struggling in the water and spinning back and forth on the broken ice while holding the broken wood as if he was enjoying a beautiful scene. They kept crying and shouting for help to the men on the shore.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore. He dropped the weapon in his hand, jumped into the icy water with a "kutong", and swam towards the crying and struggling group of people.

Some women grabbed the broken ice and the unbroken ice and climbed up. They were soaked and shivering on the ice, but they still did not forget to save the drowning children.

People kept sinking because of the undercurrent. The Rhine River has a strong undercurrent. If you are caught in it, you will be caught by the undercurrent like a devil's claw and unable to move. Then you will be drowned because all the oxygen in your body is exhausted.

The barbarian leader was on the verge of collapse. He pushed away the others behind him and took a long detour on the relatively solid ice. He ran and shouted.

"It seems that he suffered a great blow, or his wife and children are in the river." Andrew stretched his neck to look at the barbarian leader who was walking away. "If his children or wife died in this disaster, I am afraid that if we don't kill him, he will be our enemy for the rest of his life."

Andrew said this, but Luca remained silent. Andrew was curious, so he turned around and looked at Luca, and couldn't help asking, "Luca, what are you thinking about?" Andrew saw the hesitation in Luca's expression, and he immediately understood. He smiled and said to Luca, "I really didn't expect that after going through so much blood and rain, you would hesitate. Why, it seems that you still can't stand seeing such a separation of life and death?"

"Oh, no, that's not the case, Andrew!" Lu Jia hurriedly shook his head, saying that he had drawn a clear line between himself and soft-heartedness. "I just became a father. Sometimes I can't help but feel soft-hearted when I see such scenes. I even wonder what I would do if that was my own child?"

"That's enough. Now, what are you going to do?" Alessio looked at Luca coldly. "Are you going to save him? Save a wolf that can eat you at any time?"

"Hey, I didn't say that!" Lu Jia hurriedly shook his head, "How could I be so kind? Forget it, I'll just turn my back."

More than ten minutes later, a large group of wet victims were sitting shivering around a bonfire that had already been lit to keep warm. They included the wife and children whom the barbarian leader had tried desperately to rescue.

"I really can't imagine why you did this!" Aresio said indignantly behind Luca: "They are barbarians, they came to plunder us and kill us! Look at what you did, you actually saved them!"

Facing Aresio's repeated questioning, Luca did not answer. He looked at the barbarian tribe repairing on the river bank without saying a word. At this time, as if after a clear discussion, the barbarian leader stood up, turned around and walked straight to Luca. He had a serious face and stared at Luca with his eyes, as if he saw someone who made him very unhappy. But Luca saw tears flashing in his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.

"What does he want to do?" Andrew asked alertly.

"Humph, do you think he will be grateful to you? Foolish!" Aresio mocked from the sidelines: "Don't forget that it was you who pushed them into the water!"

"Kutong!"

What everyone didn't expect was that the barbarian leader actually knelt down in front of Luga. Everyone was very surprised and stared at the barbarian leader in front of them with wide eyes, wondering what this guy was up to.

"My tribe has no way out. I surrender to you, Romans." The barbarian leader spoke bit by bit in stiff Latin. "I know I killed many of you, but I am willing to repent with my life as long as you can let my people go."

After saying this, the barbarian leader fell to the ground with his limbs spread out. This was the most humiliating act of surrender, face down, ready to be slaughtered.

"Andrew." Looking at the barbarian leader who surrendered at his feet, Luga called Andrew to come forward.

"What's the matter, Luka?" Andrew ran over to Luka and asked, "Do you want me to kill him now?"

"No, we can't kill him!" Luca looked at the surrendered man at his feet, with a strange smile on his face. "Take him to see a priest, especially a priest who knows German. The priest will enlighten him well. I promise!"

Hearing what Luca said, Andrew also chuckled. He understood what Luca meant. The cooperation over the years had already made the two of them understand each other's minds.

"Okay, Luca, as you wish!" Andrew said, first bending down to tie up the barbarian's hands, and then leading him away.
