28. The fight outside the villa
Appis wrapped his dagger in rags and strode out the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, before they could reach the door, a fierce battle rang out at the door, and several of the Roman guards were knocked down by the baronsen warriors who swarmed down, and then the barbarians took out their swords and axes from the carriage and slashed at the stunned Roman guards.
Several of the Claudia family guards immediately collapsed in a pool of blood, and Claudia herself crashed into Appis's arms in a panic......
"Mistress, you go first, leave it to me here."
Appis glanced at the panicked Claudia and said calmly.
Everyone screamed and ran to the stables, but Appis was the only one who rushed out.
Removing the ragged linen cloth wrapped in the Roman dagger, he rushed to the Banonsen who were slaughtering the Romans in the eyes of everyone's astonishment.
"Appis, what are you doing? Run! ”
Antia shouted, however, Appis ignored her. In the astonished gaze of everyone, the well-mannered Roman governess raised her silver dagger, and in the next second, the barbarian rushed over, and then, Appis only slightly sideways, after dodging the fatal swing, sent the short sword in his hand into the opponent's lower abdomen.
The barbarian stared at the Roman teacher with fine skin and tender flesh, and could not understand the scene in front of him, however, Apis did not want to waste time on this barbarian soldier, and as the muscles in his arm tightened, the blade of the Roman short sword pierced deeper into the barbarian's abdomen, until the tip of the sword pierced out of the back, and the entire Roman short sword pierced the abdomen of the barbarian warrior.
Then when he drew his dagger, the barbarian's intestines flowed out, and blood immediately stained Appis's clothes red.
Antia screamed, but Appis ignored her, and the faithful servant picked up the two little masters and ran straight to the stable.
At the scene, the sound of screams, slashing, and the sound of axes cutting off limbs stained this originally quiet forest villa with a thick layer of blood.
Appis rushed up, knocked down a barbarian who was chasing Oledia, and then stabbed the short sword into the opponent's back, only to hear a heart-rending scream, Apis felt the familiar temperature in his hand again, it was warm blood, compared to the dozen or so barbarians on the field, Apis was the real bloodthirsty beast, and killed countless enemies in the Colosseum in Rome, but everyone present, no one knew, this seemingly polite Roman teacher, In fact, he was an experienced gladiator.
Two barbarian warriors fell under the sword of the young Roman, and the barbarian leader immediately focused his eyes on Appis.
In a beastly roar, four or five Banonsen warriors around him suddenly rushed over.
……
Now, go fight like a man! In the shadow of the sword, one by one the barbarian warriors fell under the sword of this Roman gladiator.
The last barbarian stood in front of Apis, covered in blood, trembling slightly, and looked at the bloodthirsty beast with terrified eyes.
Appis wiped the blood from his sword, and the sharp Roman dagger revealed its terrible cold light again. At this time, Appis, in the eyes of all barbarians, seemed to be a demon from hell, his body, his clothes, his face, and his hair were stained with the blood of barbarian soldiers.
The last barbarian, after staring at Apis for a moment, threw down his weapon, turned around and ran......
However, Apis did not give him a chance to escape, but directly swung his short sword and threw the sharp weapon in the direction of the barbarian's escape.
In the next second, the Roman dagger spun and stabbed into the barbarian soldier's shoulder.
The fleeing barbarian soldier suddenly threw himself to the ground with a pop, and a large amount of blood flowed from his shoulder. A burst of unknown language continued to come out of his mouth. But without even thinking about it, Apis knew that this must be the language of the barbarians, not Latin, so he couldn't understand it, and as for whether he fell to the ground begging for mercy or scolding angrily, Apis didn't care about it. He stepped up and stomped on the barbarian's shoulder, then drew his dagger brutally, and soon, blood spurted out of his veins at an even faster rate.
With another sword, Apis sent the short sword in his hand directly into the back of the barbarian soldier's neck. This is the most honorable way for a gladiator to die, or it is also a direct end to the suffering of that barbarian soldier.
……
"You're a soldier? Or has there ever been a war? ”
After dealing with the dozen or so barbarian warriors of Banonsen who attacked the Roman mansion, Oretia and Antia asked Appis with a look of great surprise. their teachers.
"No, I told you, I'm the illegitimate son of Mars, the god of war."
In front of the two innocent little girls, Appis did not reveal his identity, but joked again. This time, though, the two little girls didn't believe it......
"You must be a soldier in the army, at least at the officer level."
Antia asked resentfully, because Apis had not told them the truth.
"Well, I'll tell you a secret—"
Apis leaned over mysteriously and said, and the two little girls also came over......
"Actually, I used to be a gladiator."
"Gladiator?"
Antia and Auretia cried out. If you have to explain, this is indeed an excellent reason, Apis must not admit that he is a member of the Legion, otherwise with Claudia's IQ, it is easy to think that this is a conspiracy. The Roman legions would have attacked here long ago with barbarians. So send such a governess who doesn't look like a soldier at all, and wait until the barbarians attack, so that the legions can justify the conquest of this rebellious Gallic tribe.
"Oretia, Antia, we're leaving."
Claudia called out to her two precious daughters, and then looked at Apis with strange eyes. Claudia's feelings are also complicated for this strange governess, on the one hand, this ordinary Roman teacher saved his family's life at a critical moment. However, his identity has become a mystery. It is impossible for an ordinary governess to be so bloodthirsty and belligerent.
"Appis, do you want to come with us?"
In the end, Claudia still invited Apis, who was still some distance from the Roman border, and there were no guards around Claudia, so if there were any more barbarians, I was afraid that a few household servants would be powerless to resist, so Claudia finally decided to invite Apis to go on the road with her.
"No, hostess, I have something to do."
But Apis did not accept the invitation, he had done it himself to protect the safety of Claudia's family, and the next step was to join the legion, Appis would definitely not go on the road with this Roman nobleman, otherwise, when he met the legion, he would join the legion, which would be equivalent to telling Claudia that he was a member of the Roman legion, then, with Claudia's IQ, he would know everything......
