Chapter 424: Escape

"Damn it!"

Kevin. Sein glared at the approaching Roman legions, and all those who could still walk, or who could be called Saxon soldiers, came to the watchtower of the town or gathered around Kevin. Sain's side.

Their formation was scattered, and although everyone was pretending to be calm, it could be seen from the trembling of their bodies that they were just as calm as their leader at this time, calm on the surface, but full of fear on the inside.

Kevin. Sean weighed the Dragon's Breath Sword in his hand, but there was no trace of the haughty look on his face that he had yesterday. His face was solemn, and his frown had already exposed his heart, and he was not at all sure that he would win this battle.

Because the Saxons have maintained their own unique way of life since the invasion and have refused to integrate into the old towns of Britannia. They seemed to be at odds with the way of life of the Romans who had been left behind, so they did not choose to settle in Roman cities, but instead built their own settlements around them. That is, they preferred to build their own town outside the old Roman city than live with the citizens, and it was because of this characteristic that Luga's next attack could be unscrupulous, because he did not need to fear that it would damage the feelings of the former citizens and the Roman nobles.

The loaders put the eggs into the trebuchet that was ready to go, and the priest held an olive branch and dipped it in the brass basin he was holding. They say that this is holy water, that it is blessed by the Virgin Mary, and that any soldier who touches this holy water will be invulnerable to the mercy of Mary.

The priest walked past the soldiers, who sprinkled them with olive branches and water, and each soldier closed his eyes and waited for the Virgin Mary to be crowned.

"Archers! Archers in position! ”

The subordinate commander shouted loudly for the archers to come out of the formation, and they quickly came to a distance of nearly a hundred meters in front of the Saxon formation, where they stuck their arrows in the ground, drew their bows and arrows, and rounded their bows and fired the first wave of arrows.

"Theon, Theon!" Just as the two sides were about to break out into contact war, Tiberius appeared in Kevin. Behind Sain.

"Oh, it's you again, you damn Roman, I forgot about you and cleaned you up, you guy." Kevin. Seon used his shield to fend off arrows that would fly at any moment,

"You may not believe me now, but I really want to help you, for God's sake, no, for Valhalla's sake." Tiberius pleaded bitterly, he didn't want to see Kevin. Sain repeated the mistakes of the Belgian Gaul chieftains.

"Okay, okay, you Roman!" Kevin. Theon seemed impatient, but he looked patiently at Tiberius, waiting for him to see if he had any good ideas.

"We have to retreat, abandon the original land, go back, look for your alliance, you need them now, not fight here for no sense, so that you will die, go back, now Flavis. Luga is invincible. Tiberius roared loudly, and he was very upset of Kevin. Sain listened word by word.

"What are they arguing about?" Lu Jia had seen both sides of the argument from afar, and of course he was really familiar with the back.

"Oh, that's not the Tiberius I've been thinking about!" A sneer appeared on Luga's face, he looked at the two sides of the argument from a distance, and said lightly: "It looks like all the guys I'm going to clean up are here, this damn dog thing, let me catch you!" ”

As he spoke, Luga jerked back at the slinger behind him and ordered loudly, "Smash, smash these damned barbarians for me!" ”

"Whew..."

The soldiers wielded their levers, the trebuchets worked throughout, and dozens of stone eggs flew into the sky and landed straight on the houses of the Saxons in the army and in the towns behind them.

The destructive power and roar of the stone eggs caused everyone present to panic.

"Can we defeat them? Can we defeat them? "The soldiers were asking themselves, they were talking to each other in the course of the defense, their confidence was shaken, and the soldiers, it should be said that all the men, women and children who could fight could not be sure that they would win the battle.

Such a question is unabashedly addressed to Kevin. Sein questioned it, and they grew less convinced that the guardians of Valhalla would be able to help them defeat the menacing Romans.

"Cavalry! Cavalry advance! Advance! ”

Lugaco had no patience to wait for the negligible expense of the archers and trebuchets, and he commanded loudly.

The trumpeter blew the horn, the herald waved his flag in the direction of the cavalry, and the detachment of 2,000 cavalry that followed Luga obeyed Luga's orders, and they slowly walked out of the formation, ready to begin to walk slowly towards the seemingly impregnable Saxon army formation lined up in front of them. They had to get close enough to charge, and no one, at least the Saxon army, was not capable of holding back the charge of these two thousand cavalry.

"Get your mind, Lord Theon!" Seeing that the large number of cavalry was slowly walking towards them, and there was not enough time left for them, Tiberius grabbed Kevin. Sein's neckline, he couldn't wait, rushing at Kevin. Sein yelled, "Run, run, turn back!" Turn back! ”

Pretend to have a determined look on Kevin. Sein's face vanished, and he began to wonder, and a lack of confidence appeared in his heart, which was the last thing a leader should have, but it was clearly on his face.

"Close, close, ready, ready to accelerate!" The cavalrymen stood their spears upright and pointed at the Saxons not far away, and the Saxon javelinmen braved the rain of arrows and flying stones to meet the Roman cavalry, and they held javelins and charged at the accelerating Roman cavalry.

"Block them, block them!"

The Saxon javelinmen gritted their teeth, they knew that it was impossible for them to go back. Armed with javelins and slung over their shoulders, they hurled at the oncoming Roman cavalry.

"Good, good!"

Finally at this time, Kevin. Seon nodded, he followed Tiberius's advice, turned back to his people and said: "Saxon warriors, follow in my footsteps, let's go back, there's no point in fighting here, let's go, find our partners, and take revenge!" ”

At this command, the Saxon army ceased to exist in an instant, and they followed their leader, Kevin. Thane, crying and wailing along the way, abandoned his home and disappeared into the streets. The staggered houses covered their tracks, they carried nothing, food, clothing, equipment, all abandoned.

The Roman detachment of cavalry charged, and they killed all the Saxon javelinmen who were willing to sacrifice themselves like the autumn wind swept away the leaves.

"General, they ran away!" The horsemen returned to the horse and the cavalry will be Kevin. The news of Sain's escape was told to Luga.

Luga just moved his throat and didn't lash out like a normal person.
