Chapter 511 Barbarian Invasion 1

There were tens of thousands of barbarians, and they seemed to have listened to what Luca said. No matter what, the warm bread and soft cakes looted were always more real than the black bread they had in front of them.

"Luga, are you really going to let them invade without restraint?" Andrew pointed at the backs of the large number of barbarians as they walked away.

Although he knew that this was only the first warning to Aetius and Theoderic, openly letting the barbarians in posed a huge threat to the territory that had been recovered with great difficulty.

"This is a last resort, Andrew!" Luca's eyes were deep and his expression was wooden. "If we leave them here, we will be the ones to perish. Only by dividing the power of these barbarians can we survive."

This is bound to be a bloody battle. Andrew realized from Luca's words that this hidden war would eventually happen! On the other hand, Luca, now it seems that because of the collapse of the aid talks, he had already anticipated the occurrence of this war, so he no longer chose to hold on alone, but pushed this large group of barbarians onto Aetius and Theoderic, so that they could more deeply experience the power of the barbarian invasion.

"Luka, you have to know that making such a decision will have consequences..."

"I know!" Lu Jia interrupted Andrew's suggestion and looked at him with doubts. "Andrew, do you hesitate like this every time you encounter something you think is a big deal?"

"Oh, my God, Luca, this matter is just like the sky above our heads." Andrew opened his eyes wide and described it to Luca vividly, "If they knew that these were the barbarians we released, they could always say that we betrayed them and then rise up to attack us!"

"Don't worry at all, Andrew." Lu Jia still looked calm, "I have already thought of a solution, so don't worry about these meaningless things."

"But, Luca!" Andrew wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luca again. He didn't want to hear any discouraging words because it would affect his luck.

At this time in Ludina, Aetius learned that the barbarians surrounded Agrippina and were heading south for him for some unknown reason. This was not a good thing, as such news could only prove that Luca had failed in resisting the barbarians!

"This useless guy!" Aetius cursed secretly. He had long been fed up with this guy who always had so-called "good luck", but no matter what, reality forced him to return to the military map.

The long war was not without its benefits. Through constant marching and fighting, he trained a group of young officers, which would be a strong guarantee for his army's ability to continue fighting in the future.

In Aetius' own words, these people were much better than Lito, who had followed him before but always lost battles.

"Captain Soldier, the invading barbarians are approaching our defense line." Tereus walked up to Aetius holding a piece of parchment.

I forgot to introduce him. Tereus is a young general newly promoted by Aetius. He is currently the commander of the Eighth Companions Legion. He is just over 30 years old. Most importantly, he is the son of Senator Thermitius.

Since he was the son of a political ally and had won successive victories in quelling unrest in Ludugu Gaul and other places, he would naturally be valued by Aetius and become a legion commander.

The Eighth Comrades Legion and the Fourteenth Gemini Legion have always been the two legions that Aetius is most proud of, and they can be said to be his face.

At this moment, the 14th Twin Legion was stationed in Ludinan, while the 8th Comrades Legion was setting up a line of defense in the area bordering Belgian Gaul to resist the invading barbarians.

"This time it's not like before." Aetius put down the parchment, his brows were like a lock, locked tightly and couldn't be loosened. "The barbarians were not large in size before, with the largest group having only more than a thousand people. But now, the number of this group of barbarians has exceeded ten thousand, and they are still expanding along the way, with other barbarian tribes constantly joining them."

"This is simply a super army." Tereus pointed to the northern part of Ludinan and said to Aetius: "Captain Soldier, we must take action to meet the enemy now, otherwise, we will mobilize the Eighth Legion to return and set up a defense line in the northern part of Ludinan. Do our best to kill these barbarian legions."

"No, no, no, don't worry!" Aetius waved his hands at Tereus. "Although this group of barbarians is large in size and number, they have a large number of families with them, and less than half of them can actually fight. We don't need to worry so much."

After that, Aetius pointed to the defense line in the north of Ludugu Gaul and said to Tereus: "I will push the 14th Twin Legion forward to cooperate with your legion. It will be enough to lead this super legion to Theoderic's territory along the defense line!" When Theoderic was mentioned, Aetius sneered and said slowly: "He keeps saying that his army is attacking the Suebi in the south. Then I will see where this guy will draw troops from to resist the gift I give him, this ignorant barbarian!"

At this time in Budigala, Theodoric I was sitting in a luxurious villa on the coast. The King of Visigoth, who had just finished crying about poverty, was playing with his golden crown and tasting the precious wines from the cellars of the local nobles.

"If Flavius ​​Luca doesn't get enough food and gold to appease these bound barbarians, he will definitely be angered by them." Theodoric's son, Torismon, his father, said, "It seems that the Romans will be in big trouble this time. After all, I heard that Luca failed to restrain the barbarian tribes and let them form a coalition army."

Hearing the word "coalition", Theoderic couldn't help laughing, and reminded Torismon: "Remember, son, this is just their Roman business, and has nothing to do with us! Especially Aetius, facing Flavius ​​Luca's request, he didn't come forward to solve it himself but kept asking me. He wanted me to take part of the responsibility. I can only tell him that it's impossible! Now this group of people is simply messengers sent by God. It's just right to weaken Aetius's strength and relieve our pressure!"

"Father!" Torismon said worriedly, "What should we do if this group of barbarian troops fall into our territory?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"How is this possible?" Theodoric snorted coldly and scolded Torismon, "I thought you would be very smart, my son. There are many Roman cities between us and this group of German troops, such as Rennes and Trier. These are all under the jurisdiction of Aetius. He can't avoid this invasion and can only face it head-on."

At this point, Theodoric couldn't help but laugh. This puzzled his son Torismon, so he asked, "Father, what are you laughing at?"

"I say, although Flavius ​​Luca seems to be rude and unreasonable, he is also a smart bastard. Look at him, he lets the barbarians go south because he can't get food and gold. I refuse to believe that he can't resist them. He is setting a trap for Aetius so that Aetius has to deal with it!"

"Then what's next!" Theoderic took out a stone and played with it in his hand, looking at the sea where the tide was constantly rolling, "Let's see what Aetius will do!"
