Chapter 555 Rescue



Chapter 555 Rescue

Watching the fire engulf Valentinian's tent, Levi could even imagine Valentinian struggling and screaming inside.

"Virus! Virus, save me!"

Valentinian shouted for help in the tent. At this moment, he heard the attack horn sounded from Luca's camp not far away.

In this quiet night, the sound of the horn seemed particularly harsh, and the torches in the Luga camp were seen surging and gathering into a torrent of flames.

"Sir, Luca's army is coming!" The soldier ran to report to Levi. Levi pressed the hilt of the sword with both hands and stuck it into the ground. He took off his helmet, revealing his face that was stained with sweat and reflected the light.

Levi did not rush to respond to the soldier's report. He just quietly watched the Luga army getting closer and closer. Then he glanced at the huge tent of Augustus that was still screaming. The flames rising into the sky must have been as dazzling as the stars falling to the earth.

"Everyone in the entire barracks is watching what we do, sir." The sergeant beside him was still respectful to Levi, "But now we have to leave. Lord Littorio specifically instructed not to let too many people see it."

"This is indeed a crazy plan." Levi curled his lips and shrugged. "It is undoubtedly a bold idea for Littorio to do this. Of course, he also thinks he has chosen a qualified scapegoat."

As he spoke, Levi pulled out the iron sword that was stuck in the soil. Facing the approaching torrent, he sighed lightly, turned around and left.

Before leaving, he turned around and glared at the burning tent, saying viciously: "I really hope this fire can turn you into ashes!"

The soldiers who arrived late, under the command of Luca, opened the burning tent and rescued Valentinian who was about to lose consciousness in the fire.

Valentinian was unconscious, and it looked like he was too frightened and inhaled exhaust gas, which led to his coma. Luca took him to a high ground and gave Valentinian artificial respiration without paying attention to the strange looks from others.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

After waking up, Valentinian coughed loudly and lay on the ground, gulping for air, and finally made himself feel better.

When I looked up, the first person I saw was Luca.

"What happened to me?" Valentinian asked, "Oh my God, someone wants to assassinate me, my God, it's so terrible!"

"Yes, Caesar."

Compared to Valentinian's distraction, Luca seemed very calm. "I saw a huge fire rising into the sky, which was enough to light up the entire camp. Now everyone in the army knows that you have been assassinated."

"Oh, God!" Valentinian sighed, holding his head and sighing, "So it must be you who saved me, am I right, Luca?"

"I can only say that Caesar was blessed by God. Such a big fire did not hurt Caesar at all."

"Yes, I am the only Augustus of Rome blessed by God!" Valentini soothed his aching head and shook his head with a wry smile: "But even so, there are still people who are eager to take my current position. What a bunch of treacherous bastards!"

At this time, seeing the fire and learning the news that Valentinian was attacked, Aetius led his guards and hurried over here. At this time, the dilapidated tent was surrounded by Luca's army.

"What's going on? What happened?" Aetius arrived at the scene in a hurry but was stopped by the guards.

"It seems that he came here in such a hurry, he must want to see if Valentinian has woken up." Looking at Aetius from afar, Luca thought secretly in his heart, no matter what, the person who could assassinate Valentinian so openly must be extraordinary, so he was the only one Luca could think of.

"What are you doing here, Master Aetius?" Luca walked up to Aetius and questioned him, "Could it be that you have come here in such a hurry just to see if Augustus is dead or not and then make your next plan?"

"This is total slander, Lord Luca!" Behind Aetius, Tereus stepped forward to refute Luca's rude words.

"oh?"

Lujia sneered: "Then why did I hear that this group of enemies came from your camp? Our two sides are clearly divided, and we can even say that they are separated by a border wall. It is impossible for my soldiers to cross our border and pass through your territory."

"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Luke."

Aetius sighed softly and said to Luca: "Listen, Master Luca, I know these things don't make sense to me, but now I swear to God that this matter has nothing to do with me!"

"No matter what, Master Aetius!" Luca's eyes revealed a clear lack of trust. "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Random slander may make the conspirators laugh secretly." Aetius seemed extremely calm at this moment. He did not ask for Luca's trust, nor did he intend to do so.

But now the two armies were almost in a standoff. Even if all this was indeed done by Aetius, Luca, who was also a captain of the soldiers, could not do anything to him.

Luca could only feel that Aetius was looking at the flames burning behind him, and his eyes seemed to be burning too.

"Mr. Luca, I am very sorry about this matter. Of course, all meaningless arguments should end here."

He turned around and prepared to go back, but saw Littorio behind him. Littorio stood there calmly, as if nothing had happened. This excessive calmness made Aetius suspicious. He stopped for a moment, looked up at Littorio and remained silent for a long time.

Littorius did not take Aetius's almost questioning look seriously and even dared to look at Aetius to prove that he knew nothing about the matter.

Aetius quickly withdrew his gaze. He was very confused and didn't know what to do. He had the same idea as Luca, that is, who did this?

Looking at Littorio now, his composure may be the biggest problem.

But Aetius had no evidence, and he didn't understand Litorius's possible intention, so he simply let him go. At least Augustus was not actually killed.

"What? Did the real culprit escape?" Looking at Aetius's receding back, Andrew said with a sneer beside Luca.

"Maybe we are all wrong." Lu Jia shook his head and said, "Maybe he is hiding something. It's hard to tell."
