Early the next morning, the cacophony of shouts and shrill trumpets echoed through the jungle, and I was so frightened that I opened my eyes.

The first thing I felt was that I had been attacked, and I jerked to my feet, struggling with the pain in my chest and the pain in my chest made me completely conscious. Ignoring the pain, I looked around and saw soldiers busily getting up all around, and scouts riding horses up and down among us, shouting, "Get up! Get up! ”

I reached out and stopped one of the scouts and asked him what had happened.

"The Burgundians have been discovered, just ahead, they are south of the Rhine by the Franks, it's time to put an end to everything!" The scout seemed to be very busy, and as soon as he had finished speaking, he rode away and continued to call the soldiers who were still lying on the ground and refused to move.

It's over!

I repeated in my mind, not knowing whether to re-tense my nerves or to soothe my sense of relief.

"Get up! Get up! Get up!!! ”

The scouts did not hesitate to hoarse their voices.

“die!die!die!”

The soldiers around them roared together, and they stood up one after another, and soon thousands of people rose from the bushes, and they slowly took their shields out of the wrapped cloth bags, and the iron sword in the scabbard was drawn with a "brush", and it would not be re-sheathed until it was over.

"Da-da, da-da, da-da!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded far and near behind us, and when we turned around, we saw hundreds of ironclad cavalrymen in scaly armor and armed with spears running quickly, leaving us with a splash of smoke and dust.

"Follow them and keep going! Keep moving! ”

The scouts drove us, and everyone present, from the centurion to the most junior soldiers, stepped forward, following the choking dust and brushing away the branches of the bushes that stood in the way. Suddenly, I heard the birds singing in unison in the originally quiet jungle, and flocks of wild birds screamed and fled from the branches, flying hundreds of meters into the air. Beneath the trees, the sound of shields clattering, the hooves of horses, the sound of chain mail shaking as it shakes.

"Hooha, hooha, hooha......"

"Stepping on ......"

The soldiers were roaring, wondering where they got their strength? Tens of thousands of people trampled on all the bushes in front of them, and the beasts had no place to hide, and fled in front of the highest and most powerful humans. Nothing dares to stand in our way, not not even God, or the evil gods that barbarians believe in!

"Why!"

I was already in the recovery period, carrying nearly 20 kilograms of chain mail, and it was not surprising that I ran out of breath after only a few dozen steps. I asked Andrew beside me loudly: "Why do you want to run, when the time comes, who will have the strength?" ”

"This can only say that the enemy is close at hand!" Andrew quickened his pace again, this guy, carrying two heavy broad shields, long-sleeved chain mail that reached the knee, and a centurion helmet, such heavy equipment did not affect his speed. Following such a group of murderous people, I also felt that I had also become murderous, and I began to lose myself.

Since we were on the offensive, I didn't have to hide my identity anymore, and I swapped helmets with Fermio. Andrew put on my cloak as he ran, and at that moment, I felt all over me with strength, and the pain in my chest became less of an impact on me.

I heard the sound of the river flowing, and the further I ran, the more distinct it became. Only a few minutes passed, and the end of the jungle was in front of me, and at that moment it was as if I had seen light, and the dazzling light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the front suddenly opened up.

It used to be a vast meadow, where the river had formed a plain, and it was a gentle slope, and we were above the slope and they were below the slope. The Rhine flows quietly through it, and it is so open that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people at any time, and it is no exaggeration to say that even a small city could be built here.

I saw the Burgundians, and they were on the banks of the river. Three full days passed, and they could not cross this wide river, unlike when they came.

The Burgundians here were crowded with tens of thousands of people, and they were in a state of confusion when they saw us coming out of the jungle behind them. The screams of women, the roars of men, the wails of domestic animals, the crying of children. From hundreds of meters away, I could clearly hear that they were in disarray, not an army at all, and besides, they were not an army, just a large group of fleeing civilians.

"If you meet an old man, a woman, or a child on the battlefield who has no ability to resist, I beg you to let them go, they are not guilty!"

At this moment, my head echoed the earnest words of the old coachman from the previous night. These words were like a tranquilizer at this moment, and they instantly quieted my originally turbulent murderous heart.

"Yes, only the infantry remains, poor beggar!"

I don't know who said this in a strange voice, it is a famous quote from the Greek comedian Progus, which is now used to mock the Burgundians who are still in a hurry in front of them. Such words can make everyone present laugh.

"Die, you bastards!"

"Get out into the river, burgundian wild dogs!"

"Die! Die! ”

The roaring soldiers flapped their shields and pulled their swords at their necks at the Burgundians opposite, implying that this would be their fate.

The Burgundians, who knew that they had no way out, did not have any intention of surrendering at this time, they knew what the consequences of laying down their arms were, except for slavery, and only slaughter.

"Stop!"

An order came from behind him, scolding us all to shut up, and the noisy battlefield, which had gathered tens of thousands of people, was silent for an instant, and only the sound of the chain mail on the people could be heard as they shook.

"It's over!"

The majestic voice behind me sounded again, and I turned back with the others to see a carriage with a muscular cuirass and a full helmet of barbarians standing on it, so well protected that I couldn't even make out his face. He held his head high like a statue, and the brass breastplate glistened in the sun's rays. He was holding a military flag in his right hand, and the two angels were holding hands, also shining brightly in the sun, isn't this the flag of our Twin Legions? Then this person must be Anthony!

"The beasts that once kept us awake from sleeping, the robbers who only take advantage of the fire, the Burgundians, are now struggling before our eyes!"

As a member of the Senate, Anthony was truly a genius of oratory, and he spoke loudly and clearly, so that I could clearly hear every word he said on the front line.

"It's over, these despicables have finally been defeated by the glory and power of the Empire, that is, at your hands!"

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

It was really inspiring, and the soldiers behind me all raised their spears and iron swords in their hands and cheered three times, and then continued to be quiet, and everyone was silently listening to Anthony's words.

"But they still have the strength to fight." Anthony pointed ahead, and everyone followed his fingertips, which was in the direction of the Burgundians, who had already set up a defensive formation, but they no longer had the uniform silver chain mail, sharp spears, and only civilians in coarse cloth clothes, who spontaneously came to the opposite side of us, and gathered with the army that looked like beggars.

"Don't worry about the gods helping them!" Anthony sneered, raised his head high, and shouted, "Because the Franks across the river are with us, and the arrows and spears in your hands are with us, and the hearts of everyone present are with us, and of course, God, is with us!" ”

"Phew! Phew! Phew! ”

The soldiers were running out of patience, and they flapped their shields with a deafening "dang dang dang" sound.

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! ”

Quite a few militants have already begun to roar, and all of them are desperately waiting for the commander to give the order to attack. But Anthony didn't do that, I think he thinks that's not enough!

"Let's go and attack! People of Rome! God is watching you from heaven, and your brothers who died at their hands are watching you! They want to see you forge ahead, too! Go, push them into the river, completely, kill them!! ”

"Woo!!"

Dozens of horns drowned out Anthony's roar, and the soldiers no longer needed this senate bastard to agitate any longer, they had completely lost their minds, even the soldiers behind me were roaring.

“die！ die！ die！！！ ”

They did not hesitate to hoarse their voices, and no longer cared about the formation of the phalanx, but threw themselves at the Burgundians like a terrible flood.
