The atmosphere in the military camp quickly became tense, and the soldiers sensed an unusual mood, discussing what might be happening. The centurions quickly gathered in front of the main tent, each with a different expression - some appeared nervous, while others looked puzzled.
Pluto stood in front of the main tent, his gaze sharp like a sword, scanning the centurions in front of him. His deputy cautiously approached him and quietly reported the latest situation. Pluto's face grew even darker, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, clearly reaching the peak of anger and disappointment within.
"Centurions!" Pluto's voice rang out in the camp, stern and powerful, "Someone has committed a violation of our legion code, this is an insult to our legion honor, and a direct challenge to my command!"
The centurions exchanged looks of confusion and unease, not knowing what had happened to make Legion commander so angry. Pluto's gaze finally landed on the position of Lucius, but it was empty.
Cyrus stood in the ranks of the centurions, his eyes appearing deep and complex amidst the rapidly changing situation. As Pluto's gaze swept over each centurion, Cyrus felt an unprecedented tense atmosphere. He remembered Constantine mentioning to him privately about the potential instability within the legion, but he never thought this day would come so soon.
Constantine's prophetic words echoed in his mind, filling him with deep awe for the experienced deputy. Cyrus was overwhelmed with thoughts, recalling Constantine's words in a conversation one evening: "legion is not just a fighting mechanism, but a complex social structure with many unknown secrets and conflicts hidden within." At the time, it seemed like a casual discussion, but now it appeared to be a precise prediction of the current situation.
"Centurion Lucius!" Pluto's voice became more severe. "Where is he now? Can anyone tell me?"
As Legion commander fiercely questioned the whereabouts of Centurion Lucius, Cyrus became even more certain of Constantine's insight. He looked around and saw the tension and confusion among the other centurions, realizing that the legion was facing a severe trial. In this situation, everyone's decisions and actions could potentially impact the future of the legion.
Pluto's voice echoed in the tense military camp, and his question brought a moment of silence to all the soldiers present. Their eyes met, searching for possible answers. However, just as a silence was about to envelop the entire scene, Cyrus stepped forward bravely and raised his hand.
His voice was firm and powerful, resonating throughout the camp: "Reporting to the Legion commander, although I do not know the specific whereabouts of Centurion Lucius, I am willing to lead my squad to immediately pursue and capture him. His actions have been a complete dereliction of duty for this legion and the current operational policy. I am willing to take on the responsibility of apprehending him and reclaiming the glory we have lost!"
Cyrus's words carried an unquestionable determination and courage, his expression was firm, and his eyes flashed with an unyielding light. His attitude drew the attention of the soldiers present, and their eyes revealed respect and trust for Cyrus.
Pluto gazed at Cyrus with a hint of surprise in his eyes, which quickly turned into approval. He nodded in agreement. Pluto's voice rang out again, full of power: "Very well, Cyrus, I entrust you with this mission. You must act swiftly to bring Lucius back and hold him accountable for his actions. The glory of Rome must not be tarnished, and we must handle this incident seriously."
Cyrus firmly responded, "Yes, Legion commander!" Cyrus turned around, ready to leave the team, fully aware of the importance of the mission. At that moment, Pluto's voice echoed once again in the camp, "I want him back alive, to personally interrogate him!" Cyrus immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saluted Pluto in a standard military manner, indicating that he understood and accepted the order.
A determined expression appeared on Cyrus' face, knowing the severity of the mission. Just as he was about to quicken his pace, his deputy Constantine suddenly appeared in his path, intercepting him. "Centurion, I have assembled our troops, a total of thirty men, more than enough to deal with Lucius and his group!" Constantine's voice carried a hint of nervousness, but more so, the confidence of being ready to face the challenge.
Cyrus looked at Constantine with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded at Constantine, affirming his preparedness. "Very well, Constantine, we cannot hesitate. Lucius's actions have seriously violated the discipline and honor of the legion. We must act swiftly to bring them back for a just trial."
Constantine responded, "Understood, centurion. We will follow your command to ensure the successful completion of the mission." His tone was resolute, showing absolute trust and respect for Cyrus.
Cyrus and Constantine quickly walked towards the gathering point, their steps resounding and powerful. Behind them, thirty elite soldiers were ready and waiting, their eyes filled with determination and courage for battle. For Cyrus, this was not just a pursuit operation, but also a defense of justice and legion honor. He knew deeply that this would be an important test in his military career.
