"Oh, then I blamed you just now, Lord Diego!" Gaisarik's expression changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and his angry expression was replaced by a playful look and a nod.

"You're such a brilliant leader, Lord Diego." Gaisarik began to raving about Diego, all because the man defending the fortress was Flavis. Luga. This bastard he had always dreamed of stripping him of his bones had actually met him this time.

The Roman soldiers who entered the fortress sealed the gates of the fortress with the corpses of the Alans, and the mountains of corpses accumulated as high as the city walls.

The soldiers were so tired that they all sealed themselves inside the fortress, which was like a siege, and they leaned against the crumbling walls, keeping an eye on the movements of the Vandal-Alans army opposite.

However, the Vandals did not seem to have any intention of attacking, and they dispersed their forces and surrounded the fortress.

The weary soldiers fell asleep leaning under the walls, but Luga could not let his guard down, and he personally led some of the soldiers to hold their posts, fearing that the Vandals would choose them to launch a surprise attack in such a tired situation.

Luga stood at the top of the fortress, he watched from a distance that the current Vandal army did not attack, and did not have any idea, so he said to himself: "They want to surround us and kill us completely. ”

At this time, in the military formation of the Vandal-Alans Alliance, Gaisaric was also not easy, it was already dusk, and it was dark in front of him. Gaisaric remained indifferent in such harsh light conditions, and he was not in a hurry, because Luga, who was in the fortress, was like a rabbit that had trapped himself in a cave and shivered, and he could not escape.

On his own, Gaisaric considers himself a graceful wolf, carefully cleaning his minions in front of the rabbit hole, and waiting patiently.

At this moment, Diego appeared behind Gaisarik, and the clanging sound of his armor vibrating quickly attracted Gaisarric's attention, and he turned around and collided with Diego.

"Oh, Lord Diego, what wind has brought you?" Seeing that it was a false alarm, Gaisaric turned his head back to look at the Roman fortress not far away, and asked Diego.

"My king, the Romans are isolated, they have just finished their battle now, they are exhausted, it is our best chance to attack them, they must be cowardly, if we attack again, they will be as vulnerable as bushes." Diego really didn't hide it in front of Gaisarik, he said it bluntly, and it was clear that he couldn't wait for revenge.

"There's no hurry, Lord Diego." Gaisarik said, waving his hand at Diego to refuse, "The soldiers have come from Córdoba, and they have been marching fast all the way, and they are very tired from coming here, and the Roman fortress is right in front of us, and as you can see, we have surrounded it, and they can't escape." ”

"But is my king just waiting, and is he not afraid that the Roman reinforcements will come to their aid?" Obviously, Diego was even more anxious than Gaisaric, he couldn't be sure where the rest of the Roman army was, but it was their Roman soldier commander who was surrounded at the moment, this was not an officer as big as the head of a field regiment, and it was an earth-shattering event that something went wrong with the soldier commander! It was impossible for the Romans to watch their soldiers grow up and cause the whole country to be disgraced.

"There aren't so many reasons, Lord Diego!" Gaisaric interrupted Diego, "We have the absolute advantage, I don't want to kill Luga right now, do you know what I mean?" They can't escape, not even the presence of God or the presence of that little Ravenna can't shake us. Therefore, Lord Diego, my faithful ally, I hope you will say no more, and let the Roman soldiers fall asleep with the corpse of this place in their arms, and see if he can sleep! ”

Diego closed his mouth, he seemed to hear something from Gaisarric's mouth, but Gaisaric didn't say it explicitly, and it was not convenient for him to ask Gaisaric directly, so he simply didn't say anything and turned away.

The night was late, and it was pitch black, but the strong smell of blood made it difficult for the soldiers in the fortress to sleep, but fortunately, after half a day's rest, they recovered a lot of strength.

At the moment, it is not only the enemy outside the city, but the corpses inside the city have become the biggest problem that Luga is facing now. A coalition of Vandals and Alans had taken up camp outside the city, and they looked at ease and had no intention of attacking them.

It wasn't until dawn the next day, when smoke rose from the Vandals' barracks, that they began to eat on the spot, and then silently watched the ruined fortress where Luga was located. Still with no intention of attacking, Luga began to become more and more uneasy, because he didn't know what the Gesaric in front of him was trying to do, trying to starve him to death? I still want the corpses to rot and stink, and then the plague breaks out and they are buried together. Apparently, Luga was inclined to the former, as he did not believe that Gaisariq understood that a plague would break out from the rotting corpses, but it was easy to drag on either side.

In order to solve the current predicament, Luga must drag his aching and weak body to take the lead in directing the soldiers to dispose of all the corpses in the fortress, because if they are not treated, they will no longer be defeated by the combined forces of Vandal and Alain outside, but the stench of rotting corpses and the plague that may break out at any time.

Luga was to start the action while the corpses were still beginning to decompose, and he led half of his soldiers to separate the Romans from the Alans in the corpses scattered all over the place, and collect the weapons that could still be used.

For the corpses of the Romans and the Alans, Luga cremated them all by raising a huge bonfire in the open space inside the fortress. They used broken shields and broken spear poles as firewood to build on the piles of corpses one after another, and lit the flames, and the fire crackled the piles of corpses, and the smoke rose from them, and the air began to smell so thick that the soldiers had to cover their mouths and noses with cloths, because no one could withstand such a pungent gas.

"What, what's this for?" Although the corpses were burned, the smoke could be seen clearly in New Carthage, dozens of kilometers away. Gaisaric couldn't help but panic as he watched the smoke rise from the Roman fortress, he didn't know what Luga's intentions were.

"The Romans are informing their partners that the Roman soldiers from all the surrounding areas will gather here!" It wasn't just Gaisarik, but the suspicion spread one after another in the army, and the soldiers began to panic, but on the territory of the Romans, such a conspicuous smoke would alarm anyone.

The smoke was like a huge pillar holding up the sky, and it seemed to them that it could be so great that even the gods of heaven would be amazed. Looking at the billowing smoke in front of him, the pungent smell made Andrew unable to open his eyes. He also saw other meanings in the huge campfire, but he didn't know if it would work.

"Luga, do you think that Malenius, who is stationed in the north, can see it?"
