Seven hundred forty-five. Treachery!
Sukolls fell to the ground with a bang!
The chief centurion of the Romans was smashed to pieces, and he had expected to be assassinated by the enemy at this time, but what he had expected did not happen.
As he staggered to his feet, he found the Skeleton Masked Man standing there silently, and then he heard a humiliating word come out of the Skull Mask Man's mouth:
"Draw your sword, I won't kill anyone who has no ability to resist!"
There was nothing more vicious than this, he could have killed himself, but he gave up such an opportunity without care.
Sukors drew his sword......
He had already decided that he must use the sword in his hand to meet the challenge of the other barbarian. The dignity of the Romans could not be tarnished in any way!
Wang Weiyi looked at the opponent in front of him coldly, and he found that the opponent did not have a shield, so he also hung his shield behind him again.
He needs a fair showdown!
Or so to speak, he needs his opponent to fall under his own sword on a close basis......
Suchols also understood the other party's purpose at once, and his anger and contempt for the barbarians decreased a lot.
Such an opponent is worthy of respect.
Sukors adjusted his breathing, then roared and rushed towards Wang Weiyi.
Wang Weiyi just looked at his opponent coldly, didn't move, and waited until Sukors rushed in front of him before raising the war knife in his hand.
"Dang" sound. There was a crisp sound from the clash of swords.
Wang Weiyi didn't stop for a moment, the sword was slashed, and the cold wind swept past Sukolls's throat. In a matter of seconds, Sukols would have died under the knife.
This also made Suchols break out in a cold sweat......
Su Kels hurriedly slashed down with another sword, and Wang Weiyi deftly dodged sideways.
Sukols suddenly realized that the enemy in front of him was gone......
A huge sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart......
"See you again!" An emotionless voice came from behind him.
He turned back, but it was too late. A sharp knife cut grazed his neck......
Sukhols' dagger fell to the ground, and he stumbled forward a few steps, his hands on his throat, but he couldn't stop the blood from pouring out of his fingers.
He struggled with fate in despair for a while. But in the end, he could not escape the punishment of death.
He's dead.
The Roman legion's chief centurion in charge of the attack, Sukols, died.
All this fell into the eyes of all the soldiers who were fighting, and the Germanians were inspired by the bravery of the Archon.
But for the Romans, the meaning was completely different......
The Chief Centurion is dead, and the Chief Centurion has no ability to resist in front of this skull masked man.
This was too severe for the Romans.
The terrain was so unfavorable that they simply could not use their superior forces. And the death of the chief centurion seriously shook their determination to victory.
Now the scales of victory are tilting in favor of the Germanians......
The Romans were even a little used to it, and this was the most terrible. At the time of the first failure, they were furious. They deliberately take revenge. At the time of the second failure. Many of them developed a fear of the barbarians, and began to know clearly that the Roman legions were by no means invincible.
So, when the shadow of the third defeat began to loom, they didn't find anything too strange......
With the death of Sukols, the Germanians became more and more courageous, and a large number of Roman soldiers fell under their weapons.
The advantage of the Roman legions was not that they fought alone, but that the large legions fought together. Face-to-face confrontation was the favorite mode of combat among the Germanians.
The Romans used their weaknesses to meet the enemy's strengths. But there is no way around it......
The Germanians beautifully chose a decisive battlefield that would be absolutely advantageous to them. This largely limited the play of the Roman legions.
Victory, so it is something to look forward to.
Caesar kept a close eye on the battlefield. From the first moment Sukors was killed, he knew that it was impossible to destroy these barbarians today.
However, he was not in a hurry, and although she faced another failed attack, he quickly saw the weakness of the barbarians.
There are only so many of them, and all their elite fighters have been concentrated on the front line. As long as the battle drags on, Germania's strength will inevitably become less and less, and the final victory will still be theirs.
So Caesar could have endured one or two defeats, and he wanted the ultimate victory......
Caesar gave the order in time to blow the horn of retreat, which was also a relief for the Romans, who were fighting hard.
Once again, the Romans were defeated, and the Germanians were thrown into a frenzied cheer.
When the Romans first crossed the Rhine, although the Germans had won several victories, they had never been so hearty as they are now.
All this is due to the Archon, and when the emissary of His Majesty the Holy German Emperor appeared, everything in Germany was changed......
Look at the corpses of the Romans on the ground, and look at the enemies who are still struggling and wailing in pools of blood.
"-Ernst - Ernst - Ernst!"
Such cheers emanated from the lips of every Germanian, who was expressing their respect for the Archon in the most primitive and simple way.
Wang Weiyi stood there calmly, calmly accepting the cheers of the Germanic people.
This is just the beginning. Bigger victories may come soon......
......
And at this time in the Roman barracks, there was a feeling of sadness.
Invincible. The invincible Roman legions never imagined that they would face the situation they face today.
Ever since the man in the skull mask appeared, the Romans had been horribly suppressed, and they had been defeated again and again at his hands, swallowing the bitter fruits of defeat again and again.
Could it be that the barbarians really got help from the devil?
The heroic appearance of skeletons, fire gods, and blood demons on the battlefield has always lingered in the minds of the Romans. All they have to do is close their eyes. You can think of the three terrible killing gods on the battlefield. Thinking of the corpses that fell under their swords one by one......
And, of course, the skeletal battle flag that always flutters!
This is a huge deterrent for them psychologically.
Such emotions. It also began to appear in the case of Roman generals. They were constantly talking about skeletons, fire gods, and blood demons, about where they came from, about whether there really was a Holy German Empire.
There are even those who began to say that the so-called Holy German Reich. In fact, it is the territory of demons. And the devil opened the door. Unleashed his three generals, more demonic messengers will appear in the near future.
Caesar was keenly aware of the change in the mentality of his subordinates, and he had to change the situation.
If even the generals lose confidence in victory, then there is no way to talk about victory......
He entertained his men with the best wine, which had not been seen before, and Caesar would only do so when he was victorious.
But now they are on the losing side. How can you deserve such treatment?
"I have experienced the riots of Spartacus...... Caesar's expression was very relaxed: "I think the riots of Spartacus and the slaves, you should still remember, right?" At the height of the thugs. No matter how many good consuls we sent, no matter how many powerful armies we sent, we always suffered defeat at their hands, for which the Senate was furious, and the citizens of Rome panicked. However, Rome passed the most dangerous time, and after the worst, Spartacus died on the battlefield, and the rioters were nailed to the pillar of shame......"
He paused slightly: "I think of how much it is like what is happening before me, that our enemies are constantly winning, but that the ranks of the slaves have been replaced by the ranks of the barbarians. However, I have never wavered in your faith, and I have even seen victory coming......"
A whisper came out of the mouth of the Roman general.
Victory? So far, at least, they have not found any chance of victory.
Caesar didn't care about the attitude of his subordinates: "I have carefully looked at it today, although the enemy's frontal defense is very good, I am sure that it is their only line of defense, and on this line of defense, the barbarians have concentrated their most elite warriors, and they have used all their strength without reservation. And what about us? We've only had one legion. As long as the war continues to drag on, I believe that for fifteen days, yes, I am not wrong, within fifteen days, the barbarians will also lose the ability to continue fighting! What do you think, Kaleni? ”
Kaleni quickly said, "Yes, the Governor is not wrong, and I have noticed this. During the day's attack, the barbarians were fierce, but when we retreated, they did not devote more force in pursuit. It's not that they don't want to kill more Romans, it's that they don't have the strength to do that anymore. The Governor said that the barbarians would be defeated in fifteen days, but it seemed to me that perhaps ten days would be sufficient......"
In the minds of Roman generals, Caesar was the best commander, while Calleni was the best observer of the battlefield, and once he had made his judgment, the battle would have played out according to his analysis. As a result, the originally depressed mentality of the Roman generals was immediately encouraged.
Caesar seemed satisfied with Caleni's words: "Calaini, my companion, though you have suffered defeat. But I never doubted you, I decided to put the command of tomorrow's front in your hands, will you command the battle in my place? ”
The eyes of envy and jealousy could not be contained in the eyes of those Roman generals. This command of Caesar. It's like telling everyone: Kaleni is the one he trusts the most!
The same is true of Gaius.
Although he had a secret agreement with Ernst, the leader of the barbarians, he also longed for Caesar's trust.
But what's going on now? Kaleni's time with Caesar was completely incomparable to his own, and his military exploits could not be compared to his own, but Caesar put such power in the hands of Caleni.
But he could only suppress this anger in his heart...... Perhaps, he should find time to meet Ernst if he can keep his promise. By using his vast wealth to make his own moves in the city of Rome, he may be able to acquire something that he could not have obtained from Caesar......
Neither Caesar nor any Roman general. I could never have imagined the change in Gaius's heart.
Excited, Kaleni stood up: "Honorable Doge, thank you for your trust in me, tomorrow, I will personally urge the brave Roman warriors to attack." Win the greatest honor for you! ”
Caesar smiled and was about to speak. But his attendant Tabis hurriedly walked in: "Lord Governor, there is an important ......"
"Tabis, you lowly fellow, don't you see so many adults having important meetings?" Caesar was furious.
Tabis was terrified, but he was bold and said, "Yes, Lord Governor, you may rebuke me, but listen to what I have to say." Lady Nelia is back. ”
"What?" Caesar stood up at once. Said incredulously.
"Congratulations, Honorable Governor." Gaius stood up just in time: "I think." That's all for today, Lady Nelia must have suffered a lot of fright, and you should comfort her. ”
The Roman generals walked out of the city with a sense of humor, and Caesar made up his mind: "Go, bring Nelia in." ”
When he saw Nelia again, it was like a lifetime away, and he hugged Nelia tightly for a long time before letting go: "My dear Nelia, what terrible thing happened? ”
Nelia's eyes welled with tears: "My dear Caesar, I was captured by the barbarians......"
This was Caesar's greatest fear, and he hurriedly looked Nelia up and down: "Did those damn barbarians hurt you?" ”
"No, I wasn't hurt in any way." Nelia shook her head: "I told them that I am the daughter of Ariovistus, and I am here to seek revenge on you, and those stupid barbarians really believe me." You know, they had a lot of respect for my father. ”
Caesar smiled, and he was completely convinced of that.
He took Nelia's hand and sat down: "Tell me, what happened with the barbarians?" ”
"The barbarian was made by that Ernst. Led by Bream, he now gathered the heads of almost all the barbarian tribes to form the Germanic League, and he was elected consul. ”
Nelia's words immediately worried Caesar, which was what he feared the most, and all the barbarians would unite and it would surely become a great problem for Rome.
Nelia continued: "Right now, only the Germanians are holding back on the opposite side, but their reinforcements will arrive soon. My dear Caesar, you must come up with a way. ”
She told Caesar everything she knew without reservation, and then smiled: "Those stupid barbarians, I still don't know the way, I don't miss my father anymore, and there is only one person I love most in my heart, and that is you." ”
Caesar took Nelia's hand and smiled softly.
Yes, Nelia was bent on avenging Ariovistus, but she conquered this woman and made her completely forget her father's hatred.
The barbarians would never have thought of that......
"Perhaps, I have a solution for you." Nelia suddenly said, "I know that the barbarians have a secret path, and if you sneak through it, you can directly enter the barbarians' lair and catch them by surprise. ”
"What? Is there such a path? Caesar cried out in surprise.
"Yes, I'll show you." Nelia pointed out the location of the trail on the map: "This trail is known to almost all Germanians, and it is their greatest secret. They thought that the Germanians would never betray their tribe, but I think they were wrong. Because I love you alone. ”
"My dear Nelia, it is really my greatest blessing to have you by my side." A smile appeared on Caesar's face.
"It's also my greatest blessing to be able to help you." Nellia's face was full of smiles.
"Call Abis in." Caesar regained his majesty.
After a while, Abis walked in, and Caesar described to him the path that Nelia had found, and then said, "Abis, I need you to lead a team to fight through this path and take the barbarians by surprise, can you do it?" ”
"Of course, my honorable governor, as long as this path does exist, I will be able to make those lowly barbarians tremble under the sword of the Roman soldiers!" Abis replied loudly.
"Good!" "Tomorrow," said Keith, "I will order Caleni to attack, and then you will make a surprise attack, and the barbarians will be in disarray, and your name will surely become the pride of the Romans!" ”
"Serving you is my greatest pride!" Abis fell to his knees.
Caesar put his arms around Nelia: "Victory, you brought it to me!" (To be continued......)
