In Alan's previous life, he and the players from the New York server had been the ones embedded with the Roman soldiers, while the players from the Paris Server had taken on the roles of the Saxon barbarians. Those French players had proven to be quite troublesome, relentlessly targeting and slaying Roman soldiers during that time. Now, being a Roman prisoner in the midst of a Roman faction could only be more problematic.
Of all the Paris Server players, one individual stood out as particularly vexing – a man named Zancher 'DS' Laurent. The two initials' nickname was derived from a rather male genitalia activity. Laurent had earned the ire of players from various servers for his perceived lack of loyalty and integrity.
To Alan's dismay, Laurent now stood next to the Roman commander, Artorius, weaving a web of deceit with his words.
"These people are not to be trusted," Laurent proclaimed boldly. "For all we know, they were the ones who instigated this chaos."
