"Appis!"

In the melee, the old legion commander Sabinus rode a gorgeous war horse and rushed away from the last barbarian standing in front of Apis, and came to Apis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sabinus stuck his exquisite, bloodstained Roman dagger into the ground, then reached out and stroked Appis's cheek.

"Legion Commander?"

This strange move made Appis at a loss for a moment. Sabinus's wrinkled face and loving gaze.

"Not just the Legion Commander, Appis, you are my son, my own son, and your name is - Vibius."

！

Like a bolt of lightning piercing the quiet night sky, Apis was stunned by this sudden scene, completely stunned, and the whole person was petrified like a Greek statue.

Vibius, the name that he once suppressed and tortured himself for many days and nights, and how many family hatreds he carried, and the old Roman general in front of him actually knew his real name. In other words, Sabinus knew his origins, and in his previous memory, the old general who went to Gaul to fight and followed Caesar was Sabinus in front of him......

It all came too fast, too suddenly, luck and cruelty at the same time. Sabinus's own son, deputy, and captain of the legionary cavalry, without this forest ambush, Apis would have inherited the entire legacy of Sabinus, inherited the glory of the family, and had a sincere affection. And, having inherited the property of the Roman aristocracy, it became natural for him to propose to Octavia.

However, at this moment, everything was in vain because of a barbarian forest raid. Judging by the development of the war, it will not be long before the Legion will be completely annihilated. Sabinus, as the commander of the legion, would have become a captive of the barbarians and suffered a lot if he did not die in battle. In addition, the Eblonnians certainly did not spare any Roman officer.

"Father?"

Appis stretched out his bloodied right hand and took Sabinus's left hand. Appis never dreamed that he would one day recognize his father in this world, and in such a scenario. The pain of father and son just knowing each other, but about to face life and death, is so dramatic, thousands of thoughts suddenly rush in, and Appis is caught off guard.

"Vibius, my son."

The screams of the surrounding barbarians rang out, arrows pierced through the woods, spears pierced flesh, and bloody battles between barbarian soldiers and Roman infantry were everywhere. Sabinus hugged Appis with great affection. His own flesh and blood that has been separated for more than ten years, such a recognition scene deeply moved the generals and guards knights present.

The corpses of barbarians and Roman soldiers have piled up on this forest path. Everywhere there were stumps and broken internal organs. The blood and water converge into a small river.

"Quintus! Protect my son out and get him out safely! ”

At the bloodiest and most critical moment of the ambush in the forest, Sabinus burst into tears and shouted for the experienced centurion Quintus. At the same time, he assigned six of the general's guards around him to the veteran centurion, and asked Quintus to protect Apis from the woods. Apis, the last flesh and blood of Sabinus in this world. No one understands what the old general was thinking in his heart at the last moment of his life, but judging from the corners of his tear-stained eyes, Sabinus can be said to be full of reluctance for Appis, but he has no choice but fate to make people, and God punished him in this way, the evil deeds of his youth.

Apis didn't have time to hold Sabinus's hands again before he was forcibly pulled away by the general's guard. At one last glance, Apis saw the old and loyal veteran Sabinus draw his Roman short sword stuck in the ground, lead the general guard around him, and launch a fearless charge against the barbarians! It was a mortal charge, and the light of Rome was extinguishing in this forest.

The barbarians were like black tides, quickly extinguishing the last hope of the legion.

"Damn it!"

Quintus held the shield to protect Appis, and with a swing of his short sword, he killed the barbarian soldiers in his way. And Appis also with great regret, drew his cavalry sword and slashed at a barbarian in front of him!

……

"Brothers, listen to me, climb the slope and reorganize the line there!"

In the middle of the legion, a group of Roman veterans were sprinting towards the slope to the right of the forest trail under the command of another senior centurion, Oscar. Behind him, there were more than a dozen legion veterans covered in blood.

"Roar, follow me, for the sake of Rome! For the sake of our wives and children! ”

Several barbarians blocked the path of the Roman veterans, and Oscar shouted, leading the way, and rushed towards the barbarian warriors who roared in front of them. Behind him, more than a dozen legion veterans also rushed upward.

The moment he approached the barbarian, Oscar quickly pressed his body down, and his shield held up against the barbarian who pounced on him head-on.

In the next second, the barbarian was swept away like a clumsy wild bear and rolled down. Oscar seized the brief gap and moved to the other side to help another companion who was fighting the barbarian hand-to-hand, and the moment the short sword was sent into the enemy's body, Oscar heard the barbarian's terrible shouts.

The dagger pierced the barbarian's heart and pulled out of the enemy's body with warm blood. The war was so bloody that some of the Roman recruits were even so frightened that they sat down on the ground, allowing the corpses of their comrades to bury him......

……

"Appis, this way."

Quintus shouted. Beside him, a barbarian on the slope suddenly jumped down with a roar, and Quintus's timely command allowed Abyss to avoid a fatal blow again. At the same time, when the barbarian landed, Appis picked up a heavily armed javelin on the ground and threw it at close range, and the javelin pierced the barbarian's chest at a terrifying speed.

Again and again in the fierce battle, bathed in blood, Apis stabbed the knight's sword into the chest and abdomen of the barbarian. Thick blood stained the cavalry captain's whole body, such a scene, such a close-up carnage, a scene of flesh and blood making Apis seem to go back to the distant years, the days when he fought bloodily in the Colosseum. As gladiators pounce on each other, champion gladiators must fight with the faith of a warrior and let the sun shine on the battlefields of the arena once again.

Now, the bloody scene in front of me is so similar to the original. A world full of savagery, brute force.

A barbarian frantically pounced on Apis, like a mad wild dog, and while both of their weapons were lost, the barbarian pinched Apis's neck with both hands. Under the terrifying grip, Apis felt that his desire to survive was so strong, like a two-haired beast, Apis grabbed the barbarian's finger and broke it violently. The blood made the barbarian's hands barely grip Appis's neck.

In the next second, the barbarian who had his finger broken directly tore Appis's neck with his teeth. The real battlefield is so tragic, here, you don't feel any mercy, the gods are gone, it's a corner forgotten by the gods, here, there is only bloody fighting, and the human desire to survive trumps everything......
