When the tide of darkness receded, the dark woodland was left densely packed with the corpses of tens of thousands of Britons......

Most of them were armourless barbarian civilians, dressed in animal skins or no clothes at all, and rushed up to fight the Roman legions. And after each battle, the most casualties were also these low-level barbarian infantry.

Walking among the bloody corpses, for a moment, Appis suddenly felt a trace of admiration for these barbarian warriors in front of him. At least their courage was astonishing, and some of the soldiers rushed up with a simple stone hammer or stick, without even a decent shield, and fought against the Roman legions, who were heavily armed Roman legionnaires. The armor and weapons on each one were carefully polished. Not to mention discipline and military tactics, the gap between the two sides is 108,000 miles in terms of equipment alone.

After a great victory in the Black Forest, and before he had time to deal with the battlefield, Apis ordered his legions to march quickly and capture Yulenica, their largest town in the north, before the Britons could regroup. Obida. It was a bazaar, also the equivalent of a British's town. When there is no war, it is a place where many tribes trade goods and food, and when there is a war, this is the gathering place of several major tribes, and the tribal leaders led by the Picts will discuss battle plans here, including this forest ambush battle, and the ghost wolf Torles will set off from here with a tribal alliance.

Only now, the town no longer has a large barbarian army, replaced by Roman legionnaires in silver-white armor and holding bright red battle shields.

The inhabitants of Yulenica waited outside the city for the legion with food and goods before it entered the city. That is, surrender...... There were almost no adult men left in the city, all of them were sent out to fight, and the rest were some old men, children, and women.

"Brothers, I know it's been a long time since you've experienced what it's like to plunder, but now's not the time. According to Roman law, forgiveness should be given to those who surrender voluntarily, and the inhabitants of this town did not hinder us from entering the city, but they surrendered, and offered all their goods and grain, and we have no reason to plunder this town, and if we plunder the town today, then in the future, what tribe will be willing to surrender to us? Therefore, dilute your heat and lust, and rest here for a while, we have a chance to achieve greater victory, the leader of the Britons has not yet been found, the ghost wolf has taken refuge in the forest with his remnants, this is what we need to seek, and in a week we will set out from here to the mountains further north, to look for the trace of the evil wolf, the great chief of the tribe has the most beautiful gems and gold in Britain on his body, and around him is the gathering of all the fallen wealth, and it is our task to kill him, Kill the strongest man in the enemy, that is our true glory. ”

After entering the city, the 10th and 7th Legions looked at the dilapidated houses in their eyes, and their hearts continued to itch. Appis knew that this mood had to be stabilized, otherwise it would be impossible to stop the situation if someone took advantage of the night to prey on the inhabitants of the place. The town must not be plundered, or the tribes of all Britain will hate Rome. At that time, he and his army will really become bandits and bandits, and they will enter Britain and become plunder and slaughter in the pure sense of the word, so that if the whole of Britain is united, the legion will be in a very passive position. Therefore, the first thing Appis did when he entered the city was not to run the town, but to hold a mobilization meeting in front of all the soldiers of the army. Tell the soldiers that it is shameful to plunder those who surrender, and that the real glory lies in the subjugation of the enemy's leader.

Although many of the soldiers in the audience expressed dissatisfaction, fortunately there was no major riot, and the soldiers agreed with Appis's statement, which was in line with mainstream values...... It's just that the season has entered the end of autumn, and everyone knows in their hearts that they must settle the last battle before the winter comes, otherwise, this winter, they will have to spend this winter in this desolate northern barbarian land.

After solving the Legion's emotional problems, Apis and Crane hurried to the tribal hall in the town, where they met with the elders of the various clans. Several, of course, were relatives of the Celtic chieftains in the previous battles. These people all bowed their heads tremblingly at this time, and did not dare to face up to Apis, for fear that the commander of the Roman legions would punish them in the next moment. Hold them up or put them to death.

However, Apis was not interested in this, and for now, Apis convened a meeting of the elders for one purpose - to collect all the grain and grass in the town as a reserve for the legion to survive the winter.

From Karentum to Ulenika, the legion traveled north, and the supply lines continued to lengthen, crossing almost half of the British Isles, reaching the limits of ancient logistics and transportation. The losses during the transportation of military rations were enormous, and by this place, the grain loaded from Karentum to the hands of the front-line regiments was already a quarter of what it was at the time of the initial loading.

Therefore, Apis had to make a simple stop here, transform the tribe's town into a temporary grain station, and then continue north to find traces of the ghost wolf. If necessary, the fortifications had to be reinforced, and Appis had the idea of having Maxim garrison here with a brigade......

Eventually, the elders of the tribe agreed with no objection to Appis to raise food and grass. Although everyone knew in their hearts that the tribal army of Torles had hollowed out the grain and grass in this market before they set out, and now there was very little grain that could be harvested, no one dared to say at the meeting that they could not carry out the task.

"Damn it, who!"

Towards the end of the meeting, Appis's guards spotted the "thieves" eavesdropping on the contents of the meeting outside the synagogue. In the stunned eyes of the audience, only the sound of chasing and fighting outside the hall was heard, and after a while, a petite barbarian girl with a disheveled hair was tied into a large tent. The two Roman guards strained themselves, and the girl threw herself on her knees in full view of everyone.

The girl's hair was dirty, full of mud and dirt, and the long hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly......
