"Gauls, are you sure there is nothing wrong with this path? It was full of forests, and there was no sign of a large gathering of tribes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Riding on a tall white horse, Lebida questioned the local Gallic guide who had led him in front of him. Having been on the battlefield for many years, Lepida has a sensitive response to the terrain of the battlefield, and the terrain in front of him is especially suitable for ambush warfare. On one side of the forest trail is a gentle slope with dense woods that cannot even let in the sun, and on the other side of the path is a cliff, and if the barbarians ambush here, there will be no retreat for the legions lined up in long snakes. In response, Lepida cautiously halted his troops, staring suspiciously at the wooden Gaul in front of him.

"No...... Wrong, honorable ...... Sir......"

The leading Remy made a trembling voice under Lepida's questioning, and it was obvious that he was very nervous and anxious at the moment.

A long roar of an eagle sounded in the forest, causing the Gallic guide to turn blue, and Lepida sensed the impending danger.

"Cavalry, go to the front and have a look."

Lebida ordered. Behind him, two Roman legionary cavalrymen galloped out with nervous expressions.

"You lie, Gauls."

Then, Lebida leaned down and asked the Gallic guide in front of him in a strange way.

"I'm sorry...... Sir...... They took my family captive, and if they didn't do what they wanted, they would have killed my wife and children! Sorry ......"

The Gallic guide replied with a wince. Immediately, he turned and ran wildly, trying to burrow into the jungle beside him, and Utirenus, the chief centurion of the legion beside Lepida, raised the javelin in his hand and threw it with all his might. The sharp spear whizzed past and plunged* into the backs of the fleeing Gauls. Shoot the entire Gallic guide to the ground. However, the horn of war had also sounded, and in the gloomy black forest, there were gradually bursts of uneasy roars, like thousands of wild beasts lurking in the darkness.

"Defensive formation, the whole regiment is on alert!"

Lepida turned and shouted to the legion behind him.

The legion of the long serpentine formation instantly assembled in the form of a hundred-man team, trying to form a circular queue in a short period of time. At this moment, a well-made hunting spear galloped from the dark jungle and hit the head of a Roman legionnaire, and the spear was so powerful that it even pierced the helmet and pierced through the head of the Roman soldier, and the legionnaire who was shot fell silently.

The atmosphere tended to a suffocating tranquility, and then, a beastly roar came from the gloomy Black Forest, and the sound spread throughout the Roman legion's marching procession, and then, like a black rainstorm, hunting spears came out of the jungle, overwhelmingly striking the path of the Roman army, and it was clear that a large-scale forest ambush had broken out......

"Children, keep an eye on the front and don't be afraid of any enemy!"

Obius, the veteran centurion of the Thor Legion, shouted, but then the barbarian's spear pierced his throat! Thousands of Germanic people poured out from the depths of the forest, bare* like wild beasts, carrying improvised round shields and battle axes, roaring down the slopes on the side of the Roman legions.

Like a black flood rushing towards the white Legion of the Lepida Legion.

In the panic, the Roman infantry, who had not formed an effective shield wall formation, had to face these terrifying and bloodthirsty barbarians unprepared.

Helm Daman, the leader of the Germanic Ugolum tribe, roared and charged with a man-tall axe. After hitting a young Roman soldier, he raised his tomahawk high and savagely slashed down, and the young Roman soldier under him was instantly split in half by the huge tomahawk. Blood gushed out like a fountain. Behind the great tribal leader were the same hundreds of tribal warriors armed with two-handed axes. The Roman defense line of iron armor and heavy shields was crumbling like a collapsed wall under the terrifying charge of these barbarians.

In a panic, the legionnaires drew their daggers and engaged the bloodthirsty barbarians in melee combat.

However, the Roman legions, which did not have a unified phalanx defense, were no match for these Norse barbarian warriors at all. The average Germanic people were a head taller than the Romans, plus the disparity in size and strength. The Roman legionary infantry, defenced by the shield wall, became the target of slaughter.

"Utirenus, take my ring, escape from here and report to Rome!! Just go! ”

Anxious at the sight of the barbarians with their eyes full of rage, he took off the gold ring he had carried on his hand for many years, and handed it to his most trusted centurion, telling him to tell the Senate the information here. Lepida had a hunch that he wouldn't survive the night.

The centurion galloped through the bloody crowd.

Lepida, on the other hand, rushed into the crowd and commanded the guards around him with all his might against the massive Germanic population.

Under the roar of the storm, the beastly Germanic people continued to rush down the gentle slope, and the centurions of each centurion were almost killed at the first time, and the battle line was full of the sound of wooden shields shattering with the collision of weapons, and the Germans fought in an extremely savage way with battle axes or heavy hammers, and the Roman legionnaires used their shields to block the onslaught of the barbarian soldiers, but the wooden shields were shattered by the powerful Germanic warriors. Some of the legionnaires' helmets were even distorted by the hammers of the Germanic berserkers, their bodies trampled under the feet of the barbarian warriors, and a tribal chieftain grabbed the head of a Roman infantryman, and then slitted the soldier's throat with a Roman short sword, like a butcher grabbing a broiler to slaughter.

Under the bloodthirsty slaughter, the Roman legions retreated and were driven to the edge of the cliff. The main infantry of the 25,000 Roman legions was blocked in this narrow strip of land between the Germanic army and the steep cliffs. This was exactly what the Germanic chieftains had anticipated. After all, it was also a difficult task for the Germans to slaughter more than 20,000 of the main infantry of the legion, and it was a good strategy to create panic, form a crowded scene, and force them into a precipice.

The narrow area of the forest path and the edge of the cliff was crowded with retreating Roman soldiers, and the legionnaires in the back were constantly pushed off the cliff by their own men, because the people in front kept retreating, and there was no way back behind, so that many people were retreated alive from the steep cliffs, and from time to time there were miserable cries from the bottom of the valley.

Several Germans joined forces to knock Lepida to the ground, and one of the Germanic warriors picked up his axe to deliver a fatal blow, but his arm was cut off by the Roman cavalry behind him. The severed arm carried blood flew in the air, and the bloody scene unfolded in this ancient Black Forest, the slaughter of the Romans by the barbarians was more like a revenge, and they did not accept surrender, even if the Roman soldiers had laid down their arms to show that they would not resist, they were still brutally slashed by the Germanic warriors.

Countless stumps and severed arms paved the forest roads, and blood flowed and pooled into rivers. When Lebida got up, he was shot in the chest with a precise arrow. Looking in the direction from which the arrow came, a lean Germanic woman with a face covered in blue paint was putting away her hunting bow and preparing to pull out the second arrow from her back, the powerful bowstring even trembling slightly, indicating the power of the blow just now.

Lebida clutched his chest and was carried off the battlefield by the guards, and before his eyes was full of wild roars and endless crowds......
