The centurion of the spear phalanx subconsciously covered the wound with his hands, his teeth clenched, and his painful face set off his lost and frightened eyes.

Yes, he has never seen and has not seen such a battle in the history books!

In the same way, his ancestors, who had experienced war, had never seen such a battle!

It's an unprecedented battle for the civilization here - their opponents, no longer spears, blades, or spear-mounted soldiers on tall horses - are now destroying their enemies on the battlefield at breakneck speed, wielding unknown and terrifying weapons they have never seen before!

"Rush up...... Rush up......" whispered to the centurion of the spear phalanx as he was carried back by a soldier.

Not far away, the soldiers who had been scattered had once again formed a stubborn charge force at the call of the centurions—this time, they no longer had time to form a neat formation.

On the hillside in the distance, the terrifying sound of "muffled thunder" sounded again.

In the midst of one scream after another, the soldiers who charged here were knocked down in large areas in the dust raised......

For soldiers who have never experienced war, who have never seen such an unknown weapon, they are not fighting against the other party's soldiers—they are fighting against fear, the fear that comes from mystery and the unknown!

The mood of the collapse spread rapidly among the charging soldiers, like a raging flood.

No one charged anymore—not even the bravest soldier here could face the unknown.

No one was demoralized again - the centurions, too, were knocked out by the other side in the middle of the battle.

On the battlefield, the remaining soldiers, shouting helplessly, quickly retreated.

......

This terrible battle, which lasted less than twenty minutes, is finally over.

Five hundred, more than a hundred against each other.

On the side of five hundred men, the battle was lost.

The enemy had lost less than ten men—the modest success of the soldiers with their spears before the last charge broke down.

And the loss of his own side, compared to the battle damage of the other side, is much more painful - under the attack of the opponent's mysterious unknown weapon, in this battle alone, the own side lost nearly four hundred people, and only two centurions in the five phalanxes survived!

If you don't retreat in time, the remaining more than 100 people, I'm afraid, won't be able to save their lives!

The remaining 100 or so auxiliary infantry, ignoring the camp they had previously stationed in the woods, retreated directly and quickly.

Fortunately, the 100 or so people on the other side may have been too small in number, fearing an ambush (which they did not), or they needed a proper rest after the battle, and did not continue to pursue the more than 100 fleeing auxiliary infantry.

......

Now, more than 100 people were retreating towards some small fortress on the border, in case the 100 or so caught up, there were rudimentary walls to protect them, and in the middle of the fortress there were another 500 soldiers guarding it.

Upon returning to the fortress, the two surviving centurions will tell the soldiers stationed at the fortress about the unbelievably terrible battle.

At the same time, they also plan to send a number of messengers from this border fortress.

These messengers will go to the provinces of the kingdom to inform the defense forces there, so that the soldiers there can get ready.

At the same time, the generals of the kingdom will also receive this shocking news.

Those unfamiliar enemies before them, or invaders, should not be taken lightly!

A terrible battle is over, but, perhaps, it is just the "prologue" of the war!

For the bronze civilization on this land, a truly terrible war, perhaps, has just begun......
