Chapter 191: Retaliation (3)
The night passed and while it remained uneventful for Julius aside from having to suffer through his legs going numb as Yuri had eventually cried herself to sleep and short of using his Demon Blade Julius could not escape her constrictor grip on him.
So having resigned himself to his fate Julius knuckled down and slept seated on the floor, and come morning he was finally freed when Yuri awoke and raced out of the room beet red in the face making unintelligible sounds the whole way out of the room.
Julius meanwhile had perfected the act of what life would be like when he entered old age, as he’s slept seated on the cold stone floor with a weight pressing down on his legs pushing them further into the ground.
The pain in his legs and lower back was as of yet a thing unknown to Julius in this life or his last.
With the night having slipped away the chance of performing a night raid had come and gone.
So their options remained now with the original two.
And the choice was simple, to prevent their newly acquired loyalty from falling and having to try that much harder to recoup it, Julius sent out the command to the legion within to marshal and make for the south gate.
Once the men had assembled Julius had a quick discussion with the General, Legion Commanders and Cohort leaders and Centurions.
Briefing was rather quick as they all knew without a doubt Roserun would be coming with their army in retaliation for this slight and occupation of lands they consider to be their own.
