26. Leonie's Revenge (Medium)
"Encircle them!"
In the gloomy and damp northern forest, several Roman legionnaires galloped on their horses, and after two months of tracking, they were about to capture the Germanic stragglers who had more than once looted their convoys and burned nearby villages under the noses of the Roman legions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Lepida was so angry that he even offered a reward for whoever captured the leader of the guerrilla detachment, rewarded ten Gallic slaves, and another thousand dinars. This was very tempting for the average legionary infantryman, and in this era, ordinary citizens could not even afford slaves.
Several cavalrymen excitedly chased the fleeing Germans in front of them, they were dressed in rags, and from the perspective of the Romans, they were like beggars on the streets, and even less hygienic than beggars in the Roman capital.
ā*****ā
Seeing that the Roman cavalry behind him was about to catch up, one of the Germanic people could no longer bear such an escape, and turned and threw his spear in the direction of the cavalry's charge.
The rough spears, thrown by the barbarians' astonishing arm strength, flew at the oncoming Roman cavalry with terrifying speed and arc. Then, the hapless cavalry of the Legion was shot in the chest by the galloping spear and fell weakly from his horse. The frightened horses galloped into the forest, without a trace. The dead cavalry lay on the ground, blood constantly seeping from the spearhead.
Then, instead of stopping to draw the weapon he thrown, the spear-throwing Germanic man continued to flee. Soon, however, they were surrounded by a dozen Roman legionnaires. Some of the Roman cavalry did not have black hair, but long red hair, and it is clear that they were not all Romans, but some were just Gauls who served in the Roman legions. But what is the same is that in the long-term round-up training, these Roman cavalry have developed a superb hunting technique.
They rode up to the Germanic warriors, blocked their way, drew their swords and waved them to order the barbarians to stop fleeing. The barbarian warriors roared and tried to stab the horses of the Roman cavalry with their spears. They screamed and bared their rough fangs, wielding improvised weapons in their hands, but the Roman cavalry collectively threw rattan nets, trapping a dozen Germanic soldiers in the nets.
ā¦ā¦
The bound Germans were carried like wild boars into the camp of Lepida, and then they were personally interrogated by the Roman legion commander Lepida.
The interpreters were already in place, and it was a group of Gauls dressed in Roman clothes. Long-term cultural immersion has allowed them to integrate into Roman society and do things for the Romans.
"Tell me, barbarian, where your master is now."
Lebida sat in the tent of the Roman military camp and said majestically. Compared to the Romans, who had clean and thin faces, these Germanic people looked extremely strong and sloppy. They were wearing almost no clothes, just the fur of a wild beast, with a few terrifying skeletons coiled around their waists. His face was still covered with dye that had not yet been washed off. And the Romans cast more contempt and hatred on these captive Germanic peoples. Or in their eyes, these two-legged creatures are not human at all, but just beasts that resemble people.
"On the way to your homeland, I am preparing to plunder your city and feast on your women."
The Germanic replied haughtily. The Gallic interpreter trembled and translated the reply to Lepida. Although a lot of nasty sarcasm was omitted in between, even the words that were blocked were enough to make Lepida angry. He sat up impatiently from the circle chair.
Walked up to one of the Germanic captives and punched down the Germanic "beggars" who seemed to Lepida to be filthy and indistinguishable from beggars. The defeated Germanic man was pulled up again by the Roman soldier behind him, and then, before he could speak again, Lepida slapped the Germanic man again.
Then the Germanic man was pulled up again, and after five large mouths in a row, Lepida returned to his lap chair and continued to interrogate the captives.
"Now, tell me where your master is!"
Lebida asked loudly.
"Roman pig, I'm going to *** your wife and daughter in bed."
At this point, the captured Germans rejected Lepida's question even more brutally, and taunted Lepida with even more insulting words. The interpreters were almost afraid to translate in their original words, and they stared at each other dumbfounded, hesitating not knowing what words to use to respond to the Germanic words. Repida noticed this and ordered the Gallic interpreters to translate in a loud voice, promising not to be angry with them. So, under the noses of the Roman soldiers and Lepida, several Gallic interpreters translated the original language of the Germanic people in a panic.
At this time, it was not only Lebida who was angry, but even the Roman soldiers present could not listen to such insulting words, and almost rushed up to beat this unknown barbarian.
However, Lepida's approach was even more barbaric and bloody. He ordered his soldiers to hold the Germanic men to the ground and cut off their fingers one by one with daggers until someone was willing to tell where their leader was. If they do not want to speak, they cut off ten of their fingers, and if they do not want to speak, they cut off one of their toes.
Under the brutal torture, several Germans also began to panic, they saw the sharp dagger dangling in the hands of the Roman soldiers, and the Roman soldiers began to execute the first Germanic warrior to utter wild words, slowly cutting off his little finger.
The horrific and bloody images bring about the frantic resistance and struggle of several Germanic captives and the ridicule of Roman soldiers. The little finger of the first Germanic man was severed with the flesh of the belt, and the white finger bones were even faintly visible. The severed fingers of flesh angered several Germanic people, but they were never able to break free from the Romans' bondage and bondage. Soon, the little finger of the second Germanic captive was also cut off, and the severed little finger was placed on the ground and became a snack for the hounds......
Finally, the first Germanic to be executed could not bear the pain and cried out for mercy...... Three fingers of his right hand had been severed, and he trembled and begged the interpreter to stop the torture, and he wanted a confession......
"Her name is Leonie, and she is our new leader, and before you arrived, she had already taken most of the tribe with her to the territory of the Narvi people......"
"Okay, good, say it sooner, you won't have to be subjected to such bloody torture."
After listening to the captive's account, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
