"Fight, or die. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoWe only have these two options. β
"But why should we trust you? Just by the words of a traitor who had been raped and defiled by the Romans? β
In the cold and secluded Germanic forests of early winter, with a biting mist floating in the air, Curio, the leader of the Sucumbris, led Emma into the camp where the beasts gathered, the Suebi tribe. And here, their lobbying plan has encountered unprecedented troubles and obstacles. The other Germanic people, like wild wolves, were reluctant to join in and supported Curio's organization and plans against Rome.
They knew the Romans, and they were impressed by the way they fought and the Germans could conquer any beast in the forest, but they were in awe and fear only for the Roman army, Julius Caesar. That fear comes not only from the most real feelings on the battlefield, but also from the fear of the heart, the fear of the unknown, the people of the Suebi, who have seen the miraculous civilization of the Romans, who were able to build a bridge over the fast-flowing Rhine in just one week, or they could create incomparably strong monsters (catapults) that would spit flaming incendiary stones from their mouths. Many, many, in other words, the advanced technology of the Romans made them fearful. And the power of the legion. Killing, and conquest, although they also hated the Romans, were not as strong as the Sugumbris, who had been beaten to the brink of extinction by the Romans, and Suebi, Caesar, had only invaded his skins and borders.
"She's not a traitor, a defenseless maiden, in front of the beastly Roman legions, what do you ask her to do? What can she do? All she could do was endure in silence, to lurk, to understand, learn and master the Roman way of life and warfare. We once knew nothing about our enemies, and now, it is this woman, this maiden, she who has brought us precious information! Let me know exactly what our enemy really is, the beast will show its fangs, and we will break his fangs in his mouth. β
In the face of the ridicule and questioning of many Suebi tribal warriors, the Sucumbri patriarch Curio was still neither humble nor arrogant, and his words fiercely refuted the questioning words of many tribal chieftains and warriors.
"If it were me, I would rather fight the Romans on the spot and have blood spattered on the spot than become a prisoner and slave of those little dwarfs."
As soon as Curio finished speaking, one of the tribe's warriors stood up and retorted. Then, before Curio could explain, another clan elder stood up and retortedβ
"How do you guarantee that what she says and what she submits is true? And if she was a spy for the Romans? Spies? Don't forget, Patriarch of Sucumbri, the Romans have always been scheming, they buy our people, and then let them slaughter us, this kind of thing the Romans have not done, and I do not approve of this matter of handing over the lives of all the warriors to a stinky girl. β
β¦β¦
"Look, this is the harm done to me by the Romans, and I will remember this hatred forever!"
While the clan leaders and warriors were clamoring to get rid of Curio and Emma, the haughty Emma ripped off the sling from her shoulders and exposed her entire back in front of the many clan leaders. It was a devastated scar.
"This is the harm that the demons have done to our people, the Romans are abusing her! Can't you see it yet? β
Curio immediately answered. The audience immediately focused on Emma's scarred back. Many of the elders even began to talk privately about whether or not to believe what happened to the young girl. And believe her words?
Emma and Curio looked at each other silently, just smiling slightly. This is their perjury in advance, in order to convince the people of Suebi, Curio deliberately asked his wife to paint Emma with these god-like scars and whip marks, of course, in order to make the effect look more realistic, Curio did whip Emma a few times with his own hands, and everyone showed a slight sympathy.
"Well, well, even if we believe you, how are you going to defeat the Romans? We have been at war with the Romans for decades, and the dead people are piled up on small hills, and they still cannot break through their walls. The Teutons, Cimbri, and Ambuon people became extinct as a result. If we rebel against them again, how can we keep ourselves safe? Don't let the blood of the warriors flow in vain? β
The leader of the DeSantis immediately got up and answered.
"We need to join forces, more tribes must be united, and the Romans send out an army of 6,000 men, and we need 10,000, 20,000, or even more. The forest is our home, our patron saint, and we can use this black forest to introduce the Romans into our land, our rivers and valleys, where their legions will not be able to spread out in formation, and the thorny jungle will be the best battlefield for us to slaughter these beasts. β
Emma then returned. Her eyes were full of hope and wisdom. However, Patriarch DeSantis did not expect such a thin girl to really come up with any way to defeat the Roman legions. He preferred to believe in his own gods, in the words of Zhanpu and the sorcerers.
"It's not that easy, little girl. The Romans will not fall for you, they will even burn the trees there before entering the forest, and then, within the moats and walls, will duel with us. We will suffer, and this war cannot be fought without Odin's promise. β
"Are you just content with the status quo? Eternal life and eternal acceptance of Roman enslavement and domination? Let the Romans mock our people? They treat us like beasts, we have no place in their world, we are worthless in their eyes. They pride themselves on their nobility and treat us like lowly beasts, talking animals. Are you willing to let them look down on them forever and accept their servitude? β
Emma roared angrily, her figure was not magnificent, but her voice was so loud that it resounded throughout the great Germanic forest, which had been silent for a long time. Many of the warriors of the tribes began to roar and beat their chests, vowing to fight the Romans to the end against their enslavement and exploitation.
However, several of the leading patriarchs of the Suebi eventually stood up against the alliance.
"We don't make senseless sacrifices and bloodshed, it is your race that will be exterminated, not us, when the stars fall, the spear of the god of war is also inserted into the thick soil of the Black Forest, from winter, it is not the season for hunting and fighting, we must wait for Odin's promise to renew our hands to be armed with spears and swords. That's when we can go to war with the Romans. (To be continued.) )
