Chapter 705: Both Good and Evil
"What? What is this for?"
Andrew was shocked to see a large group of soldiers rushing in with iron swords and shields. At this time, Kunta, who was standing nearby, was frightened to the point of paleness. He stood up from his seat in shock and stood there in a daze.
Andrew gritted his teeth as he watched the soldiers rushing in closer and closer. His years of military experience told him that this was not the time to surrender. He picked up a bench and swung it at the soldier closest to him! "Bang!"
The wooden bench hit the leading soldier hard on the head. Fortunately, the soldier raised his right hand holding the sword to block it. Even so, the impact still made him fall straight down.
The following soldiers rushed forward, they gathered together like a flood, waving their shields to submerge Andrew.
"roar!!!"
Andrew roared, but just as he was roaring, almost in an instant, he was surrounded by soldiers who rushed over and knocked to the ground by their shields.
Andrew tried to struggle while lying on the ground, but he was outnumbered and outgunned. He could not match the numerous and energetic young men, who easily pinned the veteran down.
Andrew lay on the ground and tried to fight like a trapped beast, but a huge shield was pressed against his chest, so he couldn't exert any strength. He could only growl like a wild beast and gasp for breath, but it was of no avail.
"Oh, my goodness, oh my goodness!"
Kunta was terrified by the scene. She covered her mouth and tried not to let her scream out. Of course, two fully armed soldiers holding iron swords soon restrained her. Not only the two of them, but also the maid in the villa, and Gloria and her teacher who were studying inside, were brought out and gathered together. Now the whole situation was completely controlled by this unknown army.
"Damn it! Damn it! Do you know who I am?" Andrew saw the scene and couldn't help but yelled loudly: "I am the commander of Augustus's guards and a nobleman with the surname Flavius. What do you want?"
"You really look too old, Sir Andrew."
This contemptuous voice made Andrew shut his mouth. Andrew raised his head with difficulty. The soldiers in front of him made way for him, and John Antiochus walked in.
"John?"
Andrew stared at John Antiochus in front of him with wide eyes in surprise, only to see John Antiochus standing in front of Andrew. He was wearing a milky white toga robe, standing there elegantly with an aristocratic look, looking down at Andrew.
"John, what is going on?" Andrew stretched out his hand with difficulty and pointed at the group of soldiers behind John Antiochus, and asked John: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation. What is going on?"
"I'm afraid you know it very well now, Sir Andrew." John Antiochus said coldly, "You are now an unstable person. Basil is very worried about you and thinks that you are no longer firm!"
"Damn it! Let me go, let me go!" Andrew understood John and his men's ill intentions. He struggled hard and twisted his body desperately, but the soldier held down his body with the shield and could not break free.
His non-cooperation made the soldiers who controlled him lose patience, and one of them stood up with an iron sword and hit Andrew's face hard with the hilt of the sword.
"God damn it! God damn it!"
Andrew cursed loudly, and Kunta, who was not far away, sighed in fear. Seeing her husband being treated so roughly, even as a woman, Kunta still stood up bravely.
"Andrew swears allegiance to Caesar Flavius Luca and promises to have no second thoughts." Quinta shouted loudly at John Antiochus, then broke free from the soldiers and came to John.
But the price of such recklessness was naturally that a novice rushed up and pressed Kunta to the ground, not caring at all that she was a woman.
"What's wrong, Madam?" John lowered his head and looked at Kunta with a puzzled look. "It seems that you still have something to say about the issue of Mr. Andrew's loyalty. Why? Are you going to cooperate with us to expose Andrew's crime of collaborating with the enemy, or are you going to make excuses for Mr. Andrew?"
"He is absolutely loyal and absolutely pure!"
Kunta was lying on the ground, with a soldier stepping on her back roughly. She raised her head and looked at John Antiochus. Her eyes were fixed on John firmly, which made John wonder in his heart: "What is going on? Is there something wrong with our decision?"
"Take them all away!"
John took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. His face was gloomy and he seemed to have no friendliness at all.
"Damn you, John! You young brat!" Andrew was arrested by the soldiers. He turned around and yelled at John: "When I followed Caesar to fight everywhere, you were just a young boy hiding behind your mother's clothes! You have no right to arrest me, you have no right to arrest the commander of Augustus's guards!"
Even if Andrew shouted himself hoarse, he could not change the fate of being dragged away by John's soldiers.
On the way to Constantinople, Licinia had been silent for too long. She opened the curtains and looked out the window. Various scenes of Asia Minor slowly flashed before her eyes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"These are scenes I have never seen before." Li Jiniya's eyes revealed a sense of joy.
"It seems that you had a very unfortunate childhood." Luga looked at Likinia. He seemed to have no interest in the scenery before him.
"I basically grew up in the palace of Constantinople during my childhood. The farthest place I went was Athens, and that was only once." Likinia took a deep breath, as if the words had pulled her back to her past memories without her noticing. "At that time, all I saw were magnificent palaces, and guards and nobles in gorgeous clothes. They all flattered me, fearing that they would offend me in any way."
Li Jiniya couldn't help but sighed when she said this, "I'm used to being flattered and grovelling, so I'm now so arrogant and so strong."
"Indeed." Lu Jia nodded and said, "You have always been strong and unwilling to bow to anyone, even the nobles. Even in front of me, you have never bowed your head for anything."
"But you are so strong and unwilling to compromise with me in any aspect." Li Jinia stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "You and I are both proud guys, at least for now. I think if we can lower our status, give in to each other and be more considerate, then we will definitely be a very model couple. God, I can already imagine those noble ladies complaining about their husbands not understanding them in front of me while praising you. This also makes me very proud."
"Maybe." Luca still smiled.
"Then, Caesar." Liginia turned around and looked at Luca, "If I act on my own and am willful, will you understand and support me?"
Hearing this, Luca couldn't help but frowned. He looked at Likinia, and Likinia was also looking at him. The two looked at each other without saying anything.
