Chapter 734: Attack on the City
I originally thought that parting was such a heart-wrenching thing, and there were many sad plots mixed in, but the reality is always so monotonous, without the romance that should be in the script, but it still makes people feel uneasy for a long time.
Eudolia was drunk and was arranged by Marenius in an inconspicuous carriage. Although it was inconspicuous, it was protected by so many fully armed soldiers that it was bound to attract attention.
Marenius, escorted by half of the Ninth Legion, rushed through the streets crowded with citizens seeking help, then rushed out of Rome's eastern Porta Asia and headed straight along the avenue leading to Constantine without even looking back.
Luca stood where he was. Yes, he had deceived Eudolia. In fact, drinking did not relieve his headache.
The pain forced him to lower his head and rub his temples to comfort himself that it would relieve the pain. Luga closed his eyes and pushed the wine jug and glass aside.
"You are here indeed!"
The sudden voice made Luca stop what he was doing. He turned around and saw Eudolia's so-called fiancé, the Vandal Huneric.
His father was about to lead a large army to the city, and seeing that Rome was about to fall into his pocket, Huneric, who had always been trusting and yielding, finally stopped showing his weakness.
He stared at Luga, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand and the scabbard in his left hand, then slowly drew out a gorgeously decorated Spada iron sword.
The shining iron sword was pointed directly at Luga in front of him. The blade, combined with Huneric's extremely angry eyes, was perfect for frightening ordinary people.
But he forgot that although he was a prince of the Vandals, he was a rookie who had never been on a battlefield. He thought that his sword and his gaze were enough to make Augustus of Rome timid and show weakness.
The actual situation was not as smooth as he had imagined. The most important thing was that Luca turned around and looked at him with a smile on his face. He did not show any fear at all. His every move revealed contempt.
Huneric suddenly felt that he was like a puppy baring its teeth in front of the wolf king in protest in front of Luga.
"Look who's here? The crown prince of the Vandals, son of Gaiseric." Luca looked at Huneric with a contemptuous smile. Such an insult made Huneric's face turn pale and blue. "What? The pretty boy who has been hanging around the skirts of girls all day finally started to imitate a warrior and picked up a weapon. Is he going to fight? Then, who is the target of the fight? Me?"
"Where did you take Eudoria!" Huneric naturally saw the situation clearly, but he also saw the guards hiding around so he didn't dare to show up. Now they took Eudoria away, and when Flavius Luca was left alone, he realized that the opportunity had come.
"Obviously, you are not qualified to ask me, you little thing." Luca disliked Huneric from the bottom of his heart. When talking to him, he was even unwilling to call Huneric by his name. Instead, he used the term "you little thing" to describe his contempt.
"I'm asking you, where did you take Eudoria?" Huneric's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he almost shouted at the top of his lungs. "Answer me, or I will pierce your belly with the sword in my hand and make you spit out all the wine you drank, you damn, vile thing!"
"You really look like your father, little one." Luca shook his head slightly, then stood up and stood in front of Huneric. Because he was in the courtyard, he looked down at Huneric. "When I met your father in Great Sicily, your father had the same attitude. Of course, I taught him a lesson, just like I will teach you a lesson soon!"
"Haha, Flavius Luca!" Huneric laughed and mocked Luca, "Do you think I can't see your weakness? Yes, you are so weak and vulnerable that even standing still becomes extremely difficult. You are like an old deer in the jungle. Even a child who has just learned to walk can easily kill you!"
"Then let's see if you have the ability. Come on, let me see how you are better than that kid who just learned to walk!"
Luga's ridicule made Huneric restrain his smile. He raised his sword and growled, then held the sword with both hands and pointed the tip of the sword at Luga in front of him. He took a step forward and rushed towards Luga with a roar.
Huneric rushed towards him with murderous intent, but Luga seemed to be very natural as he leaned on the fence with his back, staring at Huneric, without dodging or even blinking.
Just as Huneric was about to step onto the steps of the pavilion, a dark shadow flashed past him. In an instant, a "bang" was heard, and Huneric screamed, covering his face and falling to the ground.
At this time, only a fully armed soldier holding a shield was seen standing in front of the pavilion where Luca was. Then, several soldiers came out from the bushes not far away. They held down Huneric's hands and feet, and held up iron swords to Huneric's neck.
After being hit by a shield, a thick bruise appeared on Huneric's face.
He clenched his teeth, and traces of blood mixed with saliva flowed out from the corners of his mouth. The blow was not light, and the delicate skin that Huneric had maintained for many years was instantly destroyed.
"Oh my God, son of Gaiseric!" Luca looked at Huneric in amazement and mocked him with a distressed tone, "Poor fellow, although you have the physique of an adult, you don't have the brains of an adult at all. Do you think you will see your father being left alone for no reason? I am much greater than your father, so I have more experience in protecting myself!"

In response to Luga's ridicule, Huneric could only grit his teeth and glare at Luga with his angry eyes. If looks could kill, Luga would have died long ago. Unfortunately, such a miracle that everyone longed for only existed in nonsense.
"Caesar." The guard with the knife looked at Luca, as if asking him how to deal with this ignorant guy.
"Lock him up. He is our hostage to restrict Gaiseric. Of course, this guy's tragic life will end up being used as a hostage." Luca dragged his sick body and slowly came to Huneric's side. Then he squatted down and looked at Huneric and said, "As for Eudoria, I will not return her to you. She is so beautiful, you are not worthy of her at all. You must have seen my joke just now. She doesn't love you. Everything is your wishful thinking. I will take her and possess her, and she is also willing! Then use you to defeat your father again like I defeated your father outside Carthage. You barbarians have no possibility of survival in the kingdom of God!"
"Flavius Luca!" Huneric clenched his teeth so hard that more blood came out of the corners of his mouth, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets out of helplessness.
"Such pale and powerless courage can only show your incompetence in front of me!" Luga's words were full of contempt, as if at that moment, the momentum that once swept across the barbarians returned to this dilapidated body.
