Luca also received the same message in the Flavi Palace in Constantinople, but the news was three days later than the news to Ravenna. That is to say, when Luca knew about this, Ravenna's palace had already been quarreling about it.

It is precisely because of Valentinian's irrationality that Etius ran away in anger. Now Ravenna and Rome, both the Imperial Guards and the field army officers stationed in the central government have become in panic all day long.

No one would believe that Maximus said that Attila gathered his troops only to eradicate the rebellion. The Rhine defense line was filled with a large number of scouts, who were always monitoring the movements of the barbarian tribes north of the Rhine.

They knew very well about the behavior of the barbarians, but it was unknown where Attila would lead the army into it.

So a strange thing happened to Ravenna, which was that the officers and nobles moved their families to the south and even the Greater Sicily. For the outside world, they claimed that they would travel south to escape the summer vacation, which made the citizens who were without money and power very jealous.

But a discerning person can see the intentions of these nobles at a glance. He has never seen such a spectacular scene.

The senior officers of the Thrace Field Army gathered in Constantinople, and the senior officers of the Imperial Guards Army in the inner capital of Constantinople gathered in the chamber of Augustus. Everyone was discussing fiercely, trying to speculate on Attila's inner thoughts or how to deal with it if he really could attack.

However, in Constantinople, the officers were divided into two fighting factions, one was the pro-war faction advocated by officers, and the leader of the Thracian field army, Innobinders, led by Atelinneus, who advocated the attack on the lost province of Dacia, and gave him the most fatal blow when the Atelarau division was expeditioning.

However, the pro-people who opposed their claims were actually led by the court minister Jovian. When he was young, this old man was a hero who led his army into Italy to assist Valentinian in his throne.

This old man who was loyal to the Flavis family actually chose not to help Valentinian once. This was really shocking. They originally thought that Jovian would support Valentinian again, but it actually disappointed everyone.

The court chose to refuse to help Rome, not only because of Ravenna's attitude towards the battle of invisibility, but also because Valentinian, who had finally supported him, became a puppet of power in the hands of Etius, and then had no interest or reason to support him. However, Jovian and others did have a certain interest in regaining the province of Dacia.

However, in this close and distant negotiation theme, Privy Councilor Demissio had a third choice.

Although he was loyal to Zishi, he never regarded it as a community for the Roman brothers in the west.

Demiscius was a Greek. He received a Greek-style education since he was a child. For the Romans, it should be said that they were Western Romans. In his impression, there was only war. From the time of the civil war between the four emperors and the four emperors, until the attack on Eugenius in the year of Theodosio I, and then entered Rome. In my impression, although the entire Rome was unified on the map, there was no internal undercurrents and there was no unity at all. In short, small federal countries put together to form this empire, and these small federal countries looked down on each other, and civil wars continued to break out.

The Roman legion, which was known as invincible to the outside world, had countless enemies inside. They sometimes suppressed rebellions, sometimes acted as thugs of nobles to appease the mob, and even more, they killed each other.

So Demisseus chose the idea of ​​neither unity nor hostility, that is, go and let Attila do whatever he wants and trample on the territory of western Rome. That is their own business.

"We still have many towns that have not been restored, and there are still many things that have not been done well. Sending troops now will only waste more useful money on meaningless things." Demissey stood up and explained his inner thoughts to the others present, but how could the officers present say something about him.

"This is our military affairs, Lord Demisseus." Attilinneus stood up and said to the officers behind him: "The court ministers did not leave their homes, so they naturally did not know what the world outside Constantinople is like, so they had a little biased choice in their decision-making. It is understandable."

The officers behind Atilinnaus nodded and looked at the court officials sitting opposite him with disdain.

"The Huns have plundered too many of us." Innobindes stood up angrily and shouted to the others present: "You have also seen that when I received Caesar's appointment to come to the Thracian Military Region, I saw all the tragic situation left by the Huns after the devastation. They just plundered and would not care at all how painful it would be for our Roman people."

"So we want to let these damn Hun bastards know about this pain, tell them that we are not easy to mess with, and let them know what it feels like to be plundered and attacked."

"Teaching them a lesson!"

"Teaching them a lesson!"

The officers raised their arms and shouted, and the young officers even stood up and raised their fists high to shout at Flavis Luga, who was sitting on the throne, wanting him to know his attitude.

Luga was above, looking at the crowd below without saying a word. On the Augusta seat beside him, only Li Jinia on the left was on the seat, and the seat on the right was empty, because Tenaiya said that she did not want to join the boring politics.

Among them, Li Jinya frequently turned her head to look at Lu Jia, observing his expression changes, so that she knew what Lu Jia was struggling with at this time.

But to her disappointment, Lu Jia did not change her expression from beginning to end. In this debate, he seemed to be a watcher, staring at the improvisational performance of everyone present without saying a word.

"Caesar, you should understand now that our finances are already in short supply!" Demisseus saw such opponents, raising his arms and shouting, and the shouts echoed over the entire hall. "If it is true, then Caesar, think about Ravenna's attitude after the battle. Valentiniank did not have a word of thanks to you, but blamed you for stealing the hearts of people that originally belonged to him, so he spread rumors and slander you."

"Enough, Demisseau!"

The silent Lujia finally spoke. Unexpectedly, his tone was as cold as his expression. Although he was calm on the surface, anyone could see that he was also making an anxious choice at this time.

Attila is likely to invade again. What should Rome in the Eastern Region do? Should it be cold-eyed or actively assisted? After all, this is likely to be thankless again.
