“Livius detected a nervous tone in Julius’ words. He wondered what it portended.Once in the office Julius Longinus had spread his neatly drawn map on the table. Eboracum, Morbium and the wall were marked clearly. The legate made to speak and Marcus held up his hand saying, apologies sir.” He put his head out of the door. “Lucius. I want no one closer to this office than twenty paces. And that means anyone. Understand me?”“Yes sir.”Metellus cocked a curious eye at Marcus but Julius smiled gr...imly and said, “Young Marcus does right and I should have thought of it myself. We have a traitor in the ranks.”“Impossible!”“Here Marcus out, Livius and then make your judgement.”Marcus then told of the rescue of the girl and his conversation with Belenus. “So you see, if we add that to the attempt on the officer’s lives then it makes sense. And when we add to that their early success with the wagons until we began to behave in an unpredictable manner then it becomes more obvious. It is just that none of us can believe it.”Livius paled. This was his ala. He trusted every trooper he had under his command.MoreLessRead More Read Less
