Seven hundred and eighty-five. Archon of the Skeletons

Caesar agreed to sign a ten-year peace agreement with the barbarians, and, according to the meaning of Wang Weiyi, the leader of the barbarians, signed the peace agreement:

"My successor and I must unconditionally abide by this agreement in ten years of fighting, otherwise, we will inevitably not be able to ascend to the throne."

Although Caesar didn't know why the barbarians wanted to write like this, he was still secretly complacent in his heart, at least even the barbarians thought that he would definitely ascend to the throne.

Now that all obstacles have been removed, Caesar can finally concentrate on the approaching army of Sevious.

For Sevious, who was once forcibly ousted by himself, Caesar has respect in his heart. He knew that this young man was full of military talent, and that was why he feared and envied him.

But with Caesar's character, he would never bow his head to it. And he has an absolute advantage, he has a whole eleven legions of warriors.

Sevios had only one legion!

According to the plan that had been drawn up, Gaius was left behind in Gaul to keep an eye on the barbarians and Gauls, while Caesar himself led a large army into battle.

In 51 B.C., Gaius. Julius. Caesar announced to all the legion generals and soldiers that Pompey and the Senate had betrayed Rome and that he would return to Rome with his bravest warriors to follow in the footsteps of God.

The frenzied cheers of the warriors drowned everything out, and in their minds, Gaius, who was still invincible despite his defeat. Julius. Caesar!

When the cheers rose higher and higher, the three of them slowly walked towards here. In an instant, all the cheers stopped!

It was one with a skull mask and the other with a Vulcan mask. And a man with two swords:

"The Demon Triumphery": Archon Skeleton, Loki, the God of Fire, and the Blood Devil!

These are the three men who have almost become legends, these are the three people who are most feared by Caesar's legions, these are the people who appeared in this era with a demonic curse!

And behind them, a large number of barbarians appeared...... That's the First Germanic Army!

"Archon of the barbarians, you have really been invited to see me off, are you not afraid that I will kill you here?" Caesar's heart was shocked at this moment, and he asked Gaius to send an invitation to the leader of the barbarians. came to do something for himself, in fact, the original idea was just to save some face for his defeat in front of the barbarians, but what he didn't expect was. The leader of the barbarians has really come!

"Of course I'll come, Caesar!" Wang Weiyi told his enemies in a loud voice: "When you extend an invitation to me, I will decide that I will come, and there is nothing more interesting than seeing Caesar go on an expedition." I'm not worried that you're going to hurt me. If Caesar were such a man. Then he is not worthy to be king! ”

Caesar laughed out loud: "Shall I call you Ernst, or shall I call you the illegitimate, barbarian consul?" ”

"I am the consul of the legitimate Germanic League!" Wang Weiyi firmly told Caesar: "Although this place is called the province of Germania by you, this will always be the land of the Germanic people, do they have the right to choose their own consuls, and have the right to do everything they want." And I, the Germanic choice! ”

Caesar was silent for a moment: "Maybe, maybe you're right...... Ernst, I can assure you. Me and me, and all those who support me. They will abide by the agreements they have signed with you, and will never betray them. Ten years is not a long time, and when it is over, I will re-lead my army and conquer the barbarians again! ”

"And the Germans, ten years later, will defeat the Roman army again!" Wang Weiyi's answer was so loud.

Caesar laughed loudly: "The army of Sevious is waiting for my arrival on the Rubicon, and Roman law states that no commander should cross the Rubicon with his army, otherwise it would be a betrayal of Rome." So tell me, chief of the barbarians, that I should defeat Sevious and cross the Rubicon? ”

Wang Weiyi was silent, and then said in a gentle voice: "After crossing the river, it will be a tragedy in the world; If you don't cross the river, you're ruined! ”

"After crossing the river, it will be a tragedy in the world; If I don't cross the river, I will destroy myself. Caesar repeated the phrase in a low voice, and then he raised his direct voice again: "Thank you for the advice you have given me, Archon of the Barbarians. I've already sent you an invitation, and you're here. Now, I will extend another invitation to you, will you accompany me in battle, help me defeat the enemy, help me cross the Rubicon? ”

"What am I going to do to help you? Why do you need my help? What do I get? Wang Weiyi asked unceremoniously.

"Because now we are no longer enemies, because I need the courage of you and your classmates!" Caesar replied without hesitation: "All you can get is the ten cities you pass through, and I will allow you to plunder in them." In addition to these, I will also get a promise on top of my promise! ”

Caesar took an arrow and held it high above his head: "Gaius. Julius. Caesar's followers, future heirs, swear by this arrow. The covenant between Caesar and the barbarians will last for ten years, and whoever betrays will be condemned by the gods and consumed by the flames of wrath! Those who are willing to keep this covenant, please speak up! ”

Then, with all his might, he broke the arrow in two.

"Caesar, barbarian! Caesar - Barbarian!! Caesar – Barbarian!! ”

All the soldiers of the Roman legions cried out.

Enough, for the Germanic peoples, it was enough.

This is a promise above Caesar's promise, this is a promise above the promise of the Romans.

It's also a very interesting thing. Not so long ago, Caesar's legions and the Germans were fighting to the death, but now they have become allies.

In the future, the Covenant will become worthless. Any interest group will betray, but in this day and age, covenants and oaths are the most important things. No one will offend the gods and become despised by all!

Wang Weiyi glanced at the broken arrow: "So what are you waiting for, Caesar?" Are you going to let Sevios recuperate himself by the Rubicon? ”

"Roman warriors, followers of Caesar!" Caesar jumped on his warhorse: "Yesterday, we were friends with the barbarians. Today, we are allies with the barbarians. Pompey and the Senate betrayed us, now. Let's reclaim everything we've lost! ”

In 51 B.C., Gaius. Julius. Caesar and the consul of the Germanic League, Ernst. Brem allied with ten legions of Rome. A Germanic legion, marching towards the Rubicon.

The city of Rome was stunned, they didn't expect Caesar to be so bold as to really betray Rome. And he came so quickly.

The Senate hastily proclaimed Gaius. Julius. Caesar "enemy of the state". He appointed Sevius as commander-in-chief, urgently transferred six more legions to him, and ordered Sevius to hold back Caesar's advance at the Rubicon.

At the same time, Pompey also made an emergency truce with the Parthians, so that the legions that were fighting in Parthia could quickly return to Rome......

The Great War is about to break out on the Rubicon......

......

Rubicon River.

The battle flags of both sides were flying there, and every Roman who was about to go to war did not expect to choose his own compatriots as opponents.

And in these battle flags. There is a particularly eye-catching side.

It was a skeletal banner - that was where the spirit of the Germans was - that was where the faith of the Germanic people was!

Caesar saw Sevius as Sevious saw him. Then Caesar rode his horse to the front of the two armies. He said loudly to those who had been ousted by himself:

"Sevios, do you really want to be my enemy?"

"We've been enemies for a long time, Caesar!" Sevios showed no weakness in the slightest; "You have become an enemy of Rome, and I, on behalf of Rome, will defeat you!"

"On behalf of Rome?" Caesar snorted disdainfully: "Why do you represent Rome?" It's just me, Gaius. Julius. Caesar, can represent Rome! ”

"Back to your team!" Sevious' eyes involuntarily glanced at the enemy ranks. At the head of the procession, three strange men sat on three horses, and Sevioston remembered the three barbarians who had been circulating in the city of Rome:

Skeleton Archon, Vulcan Loki, Blood Devil.

He looked behind the three men again, and there was a large group of barbarians in a neat lineup, and these barbarians were completely different from the barbarians that Sevius had imagined. They protected themselves with armor and shields, and their short swords, which looked sharper than those of the Romans. The bands of soldiers, armed with stone hammers or spears, seemed to be there telling the Romans:

The Germans, too, have armed themselves!

Sevios frowned: "Caesar, have you really fallen to the point of being in the company of barbarians?" ”

"Instead of being friends with those who betrayed me, it is better to choose enemies who are willing to help me." Caesar smiled faintly: "They are willing to help me, so, from now on, the barbarians will be my staunchest allies!" ”

A hint of worry rose in Sevious's heart, but he would never show it in front of Caesar: "Caesar, I have three of the bravest warriors, Serus, Ugeich, and Bisis. According to the rules of the Romans, choose your three bravest warriors and show your bravery in front of everyone! ”

"Cast your warriors and wait for me here." Caesar slowly returned to his ranks, and then he looked at his new ally, the Archon of the Skeletons: "Ernst, my friend, although I hate to admit it, I still have to tell the truth, among my soldiers, no one is more courageous than you and your companions, are you willing to win for me?" ”

"I don't mind killing the Romans." Wang Weiyi's face behind the mask smiled slightly.

Wang Weiyi, Richthofen, and Guo Yunfeng jumped off their horses, then drew their weapons and slowly walked towards the battlefield.

"Caesar - Caesar - Caesar!"

"Sevios - Sevious - Sevious!"

The soldiers on both sides hissed with all their might.

Six warriors stood there, and the cries disappeared in an instant.

"The ones on the left and the right are me and the four knives." Richthofen preemptively said.

Wang Weiyi looked at his enemy Celeus: "What is my enemy the biggest?" ”

"Because you're a Rambler!" Da Lang laughed. Richthofen and Guo Yunfeng have already been killed.

Celeus roared, waved the short spear in his hand and rushed towards Wang Weiyi viciously. When he approached the enemy, Wang Weiyi tried his best to block it with the round shield in his hand. Then the dagger swung with all his might.

With a "click", the short sword in his hand was too sharp for the Romans, and the short spear in Celeus's hand was cut in two at once.

Holding the broken spear, Cylius was stunned, unable to believe that such a thing could happen.

Wang Weiyi did not hesitate at all, and the short sword stabbed forward violently. Celeus subconsciously blocked with a half-truncated spear, but he soon realized that he had made a wrong choice.

How could a broken spear stop an incomparably sharp short sword?

The short sword in Wang Weiyi's hand pierced deep into Celeus's chest......

Celeus fell...... There was no cheering. There was no sound at all...... It's too fast, it's happening so fast...... None of them reacted, and Serius, the first warrior under Sevious, died at the hands of the Archon Skeleton......

What could be a bigger blow than that?

Wang Weiyi drew his short sword. Cyrius fell heavily to the ground......

"Archon Skeleton - Archon Skeleton - Archon Skeleton!"

It was only at this time that the soldiers of Caesar's Legion realized what was going on here, and the hysterical cheers erupted.

When Richthofen and Guo Yunfeng also killed the enemy on the opposite side, the cheers reached the point of madness.

The shock in Caesar's heart was in no way inferior to that of Sevious. He had seen the bravery of the barbarian leader many times. But I still can't believe that the first warrior under Sevious fell so quickly.

"Now - attack!"

At Caesar's loud orders, the Battle of the Rubicon broke out.

It was a terrible battle and the beginning of the Roman Civil War. The soldiers of Caesar's legion, who were greatly invigorated by the barbarians' exploits, rushed madly at their enemies.

Despite the heavy blow to morale, Sevious, the preeminent commander of the Romans, summoned up his courage and did his best to resist Caesar's challenge.

None of the Romans on the battlefield could have imagined that one day they would be killed here.

Both sides fought as best they could on this battlefield. Mobilize all your bestiality...... Man has become a beast in the truest sense of the word......

The spears and short swords in their hands kept falling into each other's bodies. Then his body was also mercilessly pierced by the enemy's spear or short sword......

The First Germanic Legion under the command of Wang Weiyi did not directly participate in the battle, they were observing the way the Romans fought, and there was no better position than this......

They are learning, even though they have been rigorously trained before. They had to remember how the Romans fought, because sooner or later they would meet Caesar's legions again on the battlefield.

Wang Weiyi was also observing, and he found that although the morale of the Sevios Legion had suffered a heavy blow, they were not panicked at all under the command of Sevious. Although they were not as numerous as Caesar, their neat phalanx effectively made up for this shortcoming.

On the contrary, Caesar's numerical superiority was not fully exploited here, so although Caesar had the upper hand on the battlefield, he was unable to achieve victory.

And Caesar did not have the idea of throwing the Germanic legions into battle...... The barbarians have been out of the limelight on the battlefield, and now it is their turn to show their bravery.

It's just that the progress of the battle is not the same as he imagined, and Caesar's legion has been unable to achieve victory on the battlefield for a long time...... As night fell, the first battle between the two sides ended.

Both sides lost about the same number of troops, and the Sevious corps did not suffer much loss.

Caesar was very unhappy with this, he thought he could easily defeat Sevious, but he found himself wrong.

"Do you have any good advice, leader of the barbarians?" Caesar had to say to Wang Weiyi: "We must cross the Rubicon and enter Rome as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable to us." ”

"I found something very interesting." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "The defense on the left side of Sevius is a little weak, if you can hand over all the war horses to me, at the most critical moment of tomorrow's decisive battle, I will order my warriors to attack on the left side of Sevius on the war horse!" ”

"Of course, I'll give you all my horses to use." Caesar didn't hesitate to make such a decision: "Whatever else you need, I can satisfy you." ”

Wang Weiyi sighed, this is probably where Caesar succeeded. There were not many horses in the Roman legions, because they were very valuable, and Caesar did not hesitate.

You must know that he was his enemy before.

"You will be victorious, Caesar."

"I know that I will win, and I must win. And it's up to you, on whether you can succeed or not. ”

"I think I'll succeed because we're facing a common enemy, and our ten-year covenant."

"Yes, the ten-year covenant, my successor and I will carry it out most loyally!" (To be continued......)
