The brutality of war was dehumanizing, and after a week of wandering in the forest, Apis and Faobi encountered a small group of barbarians by a small river who were tortured and killed a Roman prisoner of war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt seems that this Roman soldier also escaped the forest massacre, but unfortunately, a few days later, this surviving Roman soldier was captured again by the patrolling barbarians, and now he is hanging from a tree, and the fire is burning the man's skin little by little.

"Fuck, damn brute, we should rescue our companions!"

Appis and Faobi hid behind a large boulder, but Faobi could barely help it, watching his companions being tortured and killed by the barbarians, and the hatred of the barbarians made Faobi excited to get up and fight with this small group of barbarians.

"Calm down, mate, now is not the time, there are only two of us, not their opponents."

Appis pressed against Faobi, his eyes constantly watching the situation ahead. There were fifteen men in the barbarian patrol, and two of them were still on horses, watching the surroundings warily, wearing high-grade chain mail and holding spears and spears in their hands, which was evidently the attire of the Gallic noble cavalry. Needless to say, the other thirteen burly Gauls who did not ride horses, and the two noble Gallic knights on horseback, Appis and Faobi, were difficult to deal with. So after estimating the strength of the enemy and the enemy, Apis really chose to forbear. Although seeing such an inhuman scene, Appis was extremely shocked and indignant.

However, rushing out is only to send to death.

Little by little, the barbarians heated the fire and added firewood, and the hanging Roman soldiers showed painful expressions, and the thick black smoke made him almost breathless, a brutal barbarism.

……

I don't know how long I endured this, but the cries of the Roman infantryman in pain kept echoing in my ears, and when the execution was over, Apis saw the tear-glistening eyes of Faobi.

After the barbarian had gone, the two of them walked under the scorched Roman infantry, and the Roman soldier who had been unrecognizable was hung from a tree, his skin was already blackened, his flesh was sticky, the flesh was blurred, and in some places the skin turned to ash at the slightest touch. Appis could not have imagined what kind of painful torture the Roman soldier had endured in just half an hour.

"I swear in the name of Jupiter that one day, with the flame of vengeance, will slash these bloodthirsty monsters!"

Faobi immediately swore to the king of the gods by the burning fire, and all kinds of pictures made Apis feel not only sad, but also shocked. Ancient wars were so brutal, but if you think about it, although human history is moving forward and developing towards a more civilized era, once it comes to war, the abuse of prisoners of war is always common. In the face of hatred, human nature will always be distorted, as the ancient Greek philosopher said - everyone has a beast hidden in their hearts, and each of us chooses to be a man or a beast every day.

Faobi took out the shovels and tools he had brought with him, dug a shallow pit in the ground, and then laboriously pulled the remains of the dead Roman warriors down from the trees, although the limbs were badly deformed, and in some places even the bones were exposed. But Faobi did not feel sick at all, and reverently buried the remains of the dead soldiers.

Appis and Faobi didn't know his name, his military position, his home address, they didn't know anything, all they could do was pray. Although Apis did not believe in the religion of the gods, out of psychological comfort to Faobi, Appis accompanied Faobi through the entire prayer ceremony.

A small dirt slope was the resting place of a Roman warrior.

……

"You, come up."

In the camp of the Ebronys, Sabinus was already tortured to the point of dying, and Pirno made amuse of another Roman legionnaire, Kota, forcing him to perform gladiatorial fights in the camp. However, it was not a fair gladiatorial fight, and before the gladiatorial fight, the barbarian had already cut his ankle, so that the strong Roman legionnaire could only fight with the brute strong men one by one.

"Roar, roar, roar."

By the time Cota walked onto the battlefield, the wound on his foot had become inflamed, and pus mixed with blood and was constantly oozing from the wound. The surrounding barbarians shouted and laughed. A strong Gallic man with a height of nearly 1.8 meters walked up to Cota, the barbarian covered in indigo dye, and a pair of beastly eyes did not even bother to look at the Romans in front of him, but raised his hands in response to the cries of his own people.

"You *** brutes, is this what you call glory? To a Roman who had already been wounded, he also sent his strongest warriors. We Romans never hurt each other first when we fight with foreigners, and you inferior people are as disgusting as reptiles in a dung pit. ”

Cota stood in the middle of the field, dagger of the Roman legions in his hand, satirizing the ridiculous and despicable actions of these barbarians. However, the Eblonnis completely ignored Cota's taunts, to which Pirno responded-

"Romans, you have come from the far south, robbed us of our land, and raped our wives and daughters, and we need no need to speak justice to you foreigners, when will you let their husbands and fathers have fair and just power when your soldiers ravage our wives and daughters? Have you let them take up arms and engage your soldiers in a fair one-on-one gladiatorial fight? ”

Pirno's words immediately resonated with all the barbarian soldiers present, who roared in anger like wounded beasts demanding the lives of the Romans.

The gladiatorial fight began.

The barbarian man swung his heavy hammer ball and threw it at Kota.

The moment the heavy iron ball flew in, Kota stumbled backwards, dodging the first round of attacks.

However, before Kota could gain a foothold, the barbarian warrior swung the iron ball and smashed it vertically.

This time, Kota staggered to dodge again, and the moment the iron ball hit the ground, there was a violent crashing sound. The ground made a terrifying muffled sound from the violent impact of the chain ball, and the sand was lifted up one after another. The atmosphere on the field tended to be tense.

Kota gripped the dagger and stabbed it sideways. However, the barbarian also easily dodged sideways. Cota's surprise attack did not cause any damage to the strong man, but he was knocked out from behind by the barbarians.

With the force of the punch, Kota was knocked to the ground and squirted a mouthful of blood in pain.

However, this bloody scene made the barbarians present cry out even more excitedly, and they cried out, like bloodthirsty beasts, asking their companions to send this Roman general to hell. Or torture him little by little, until he has no backhand......
