Seven hundred and thirty-six. Roman slaves
The "Night of the Barbarians" is also known as the "Night of Sorrow in Rome", while the Germans call it the "Night of the Rise of the Germans".
On this night, in fact, the Romans were able to calm down and could fight, and even repel the Germanic attack, but after the start of the war, the Romans, who did not look at the barbarians at all, were completely dazed by the sneak attack and completely lost the courage to continue fighting.
Thus, under the attack of the Germanians, the Romans completely collapsed, and they fled from their camp in disarray.
When the sun rose, the Germanians had a good success, killing 521 Romans and taking 233 prisoners.
More importantly, this completely defeated the myth of Caesar's invincibility, and the Germanians are now beginning to understand that the Romans were not invincible.
Everyone's eyes fell on the man who was like a god of war and wore a terrifying skull mask.
It was an emissary sent by His Majesty the Holy German Emperor to aid all the Germanic peoples:
Baron Alexon!
Standing there, he looked so mighty and invincible in the sunlight.
He is the hope of the Germanic people!
"Germania-Germania-Germania-Germania-"
Suddenly, someone shouted so loudly, which immediately aroused everyone's agreement. screamed and screamed, but suddenly changed:
"Alexon—Alexon—Aggreko—"
The Germanians are calling Alexon's name, calling their baron!
This battle. The Germanians have built up their strong confidence, and they know the truth, relying on their own efforts. The confidence that the invincible Romans could be defeated and that they could defend their land was more inspiring than any form of victory!
The captured Romans, kneeling in unison, could not believe that they had become captives of the barbarians. And their eyes are also full of fear:
Fear of the man with the skull mask!
It was a long night. They saw the man in the skull mask fighting like a god of war, and they saw countless Romans fall under his terrible sword.
In the midst of countless cheers and countless fearful eyes, Wang Weiyi suddenly thought of something. I made a mistake, and the war knife I used was so conspicuous that anyone who saw it would never forget it.
Probably now Caesar also knows who he is, right?
He wanted to continue to disguise his identity. But now I suddenly feel that there is no need for it...... When he and Caesar met again. It must be a head-on duel on the battlefield. He knew that the person standing on the other side was called Caesar, and Caesar would also know that the name of the enemy suddenly appeared in him:
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bram - Skull Baron!
"Your Excellency, please grant us the honor of executing our captives!" Anliugues and Tibius came to the baron and spoke loudly together.
Wang Weiyi knew that this was the rule of this era, and the fate of captives was sometimes very tragic, but he had no way to change it in a short time, so he nodded silently: "Leave me two people." The rest is at your disposal. ”
And through the instructions of Anliugues and Tibius. Wang Weiyi also knew one thing, the Germanians at this time had already regarded themselves as their leaders.
That's a good start......
More than 200 Roman captives were brought up naked, 20 of them were selected, and then 20 short swords were thrown in front of them.
"Duel, damned Romans!" Tibius cursed with infinite hatred: "Ten of you who survive will become our slaves. The loser will expose the corpse here forever! ”
The Romans trembled.
They were the only ones who watched the slaves duel, but they didn't expect such bad luck to befall them. They stood there and didn't dare to act.
Anliugues and Tibius glanced at each other, and suddenly picked up their weapons at the same time, and with two screams, the two Romans had already fallen in a pool of blood.
"If you don't duel, this is the end!" Tibius roared with red eyes.
"What are they doing?" Leonie, who had just arrived here, asked curiously.
Wang Weiyi replied lightly: "Duel, only the winner can survive." ”
Leonie let out a low exclamation.
"Barbarians, barbarians." Depsie muttered.
Not long ago, he had seen real war, and he had seen countless people die in front of him, and he himself was almost killed, and he was disgusted with killing.
But Steward Videlio was quick to make the opposite opinion: "There's nothing wrong with that, Steward Depsie. The Romans could order their slaves to duel, and the Germanians could also order the Romans to duel. And don't forget, in a sense, these barbarians in your mouth are our ancestors......"
Steward Depsie was tempted to retort, but felt that there was some truth in Steward Videlio's words, and that he had saved his life. The unhappiness in my heart can only be suppressed temporarily.
At this time, the duel on the field had already begun. The Romans, like wild beasts, attacked their companions. It didn't take long for the winner to be decided, and there were nine more corpses on the field. And the nine people who survived, snorting and panting, until now, they couldn't believe that they had actually killed their companions......
They were led together by ropes, and from now on they were no longer Roman soldiers, but slaves of a group of Germannes.
A new group of Roman soldiers was brought in, and they were still faced with such a tragic fate......
Leonie couldn't stand it anymore, and she left this terrible place with Stewards Depsie and Videlio, who were just as unable to face the bloody scene.
Batches of people died. Batches of people became slaves......
The Germanians watched with elation, bursting into cheers from time to time, as if they were in the Roman gladiatorial arena. It was as if I saw the Romans who were also cheering there.
What kind of suffering the Romans once gave themselves, then give them all back now!
The two named Roman soldiers were brought to Wang Weiyi, and in the face of this terrible masked man, the bodies of the Roman soldiers were trembling, and they had no idea what terrible things they would face.
Wang Weiyi looked at them coldly, although the mask obscured his expression. But it makes him look even more terrifying. Then, slowly, he said, "I forgive your lives, and I release you." Go back and tell Caesar. He is no longer invincible, and from now on the Germans will be his nightmare. I, Baron Alexon, canonized by His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the German Empire. Will do everything I can. Defeat the Roman legions again and again until they no longer dare to make any attempt at the Germans! ”
After saying these words, Wang Weiyi asked coldly, "Will you bring these words of mine to Caesar word for word?" ”
"Yes, yes, we swear we will!" The two Roman soldiers, who had survived, said in one voice.
"."
"Hey, come and see, we've got three Roman women!"
At this time, the sudden sound immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
Three frightened Roman women were pushed and shoved out. Bursts of laughter came out of the mouths of the Germanians.
"Hey, look. A real Roman woman! ”
"Aha, the Roman woman who is usually high up is now in our hands!"
"No one is allowed to touch them!" A majestic voice came, it was Baron Alexon's.
The Germanians took the initiative to give way to it.
Wang Weiyi came to them and recognized them at a glance, it was Nelia and her two maids.
Caesar ran away in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to take his beloved woman with him.
Nelia's maids had panic written on their faces, but strangely enough, Nelia seemed very calm.
This also made Wang Weiyi feel very curious, but now was not the time to think about these issues, he asked Elena to take the three female captives out of the city, and then said loudly: "Take all the booty that can be taken away at once, and the revenge of the Romans will come soon!" ”
Another cheer rang out in the mouths of the Germanians.
Wang Weiyi calmly looked at the busy crowd, those Germanians whose faces were full of joy and were constantly busy. And Caesar, and the war with the entire Roman Republic, officially broke out from now on.
He was not sure that he would be able to lead the Germanians to victory, but one thing was certain: as long as he was alive, he would do everything in his power to lead all the Germanic people against the Roman invasion.
The foundation of a strong Germany will surely be born in its own hands......
......
"Haven't you found Nelia yet?" Tired Caesar asked.
There has never been such a failure, never has been. Countless Roman soldiers died, and many more fell into the hands of the barbarians, and God knows what kind of torture they are suffering now.
What's more, his beloved Nelia was not able to run out.
"Unfortunately, Lord Governor, we haven't been able to find Nelia until now." Kaleni said cautiously.
Caesar felt a knife twist in his heart...... In case Nelia falls into the hands of the barbarians...... He couldn't have thought about it any longer.
Gaius quietly watched Caesar, he didn't know what kind of punishment Caesar would have for not sending troops in time when he was exposed.
"Kaleni, my friend, thank you for your timely dispatch." Caesar perked his spirits, and if he had left too much grief on one woman, he would have disappointed his subordinates: "Without you, I'm afraid we would have suffered even more losses......
"It is my pleasure to serve you, Your Honourable Governor." Kaleni said respectfully: "It's a pity. We couldn't save more Roman soldiers. ”
"You've done a great job......," Caesar said, turning his gaze to Gaius.
Gaius's heart suddenly "thumped".
Caesar said slowly, "As for you, Gaius. My friend, even though you were not able to send troops, I must thank you for your strict obedience to my orders, which is a good quality worthy of respect. You will still have my respect......"
Gaius's heart relaxed, and what he could be sure of for now was that Caesar didn't have any doubts about himself.
"In the midst of that group of barbarians who sneaked up on us. I saw a man......" Caesar continued in his deep voice, "this man has a strange skeletal mask on his face, and the man next to him, with the mask of Loki, the barbarian's god of fire. Although they want to do their best to hide their identity. But the weapon used by the man wearing the skull mask reveals his identity. I had seen that weapon before, and he said to bring it from the far east......"
In an instant, Gaius knew that Daugernst was exposed.
Sure enough, Caesar's face was filled with incomparable anger: "Do you know who he is? He's Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bream. That businessman with an incredibly strange name! ”
As soon as I heard this. Gaius hurriedly half-knelt on the ground: "Honorable Caesar." I didn't know that it was the enemy, and I personally brought him to you, and I ask for your punishment! ”
"Arise, my faithful Gaius." Caesar sighed: "This traitor has disguised himself too well, he knows everything about us, and he can speak fluent Roman, even I am blinded by him." You can't be blamed for that. ”
In fact, Caesar blamed Gaius in his heart. If it weren't for him, Ernst wouldn't have been so swaggering around him.
But he knew better that his army had just been defeated, and it was the time when everyone needed to unite as one, and he had to keep his unhappiness in his heart, no matter how much he was unhappy.
Relieved, Gaius stood up, he was a little afraid that Caesar would catch Ernst, and if Ernst would confess the deal between himself and him.
Caesar could tolerate anything, but he could never tolerate betrayal......
"Lord Governor, two of our men have been released."
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Caesar called in the two freed Roman soldiers, and asked eagerly, "How did you escape from the barbarians?" ”
"Dear Governor, they brought us back."
"Oh, the barbarians are going to release you?" Caesar was amazed.
The released Roman soldiers recounted what had happened before and after, and when they heard that the Roman soldiers were forced to become gladiators and kill each other, each Roman general's face showed anger.
"Baron Alexon, who claims to have been canonized by His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the German Empire, has also asked us to bring you a few words, Your Honorable Doge......" The Roman soldiers were afraid to say it all.
"Say, you are not guilty of anything." Caesar asked calmly.
The Roman soldier was bold: "That Baron Alexon asked us to tell you,'. Go back and tell Caesar that he is no longer invincible and that from now on the Germans will be his nightmare. I, Baron Alexon, canonized by His Majesty the Holy German Emperor, will do everything I can to defeat the Roman legions again and again, until they no longer dare to make any attempt against the Germans......"
Speaking of this, he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word again.
There was silence in the tent, no one dared to speak, and Caesar's anger could erupt at any moment.
Caesar groaned, groaned, and after a long time slowly spoke: "Holy German Empire? Baron Alexon? Have any of you heard of this Holy German Empire? ”
The generals looked at each other, and then shook each other.
"Probably, this is a story made up by the barbarians." Kaleni said cautiously: "I don't think there is any Holy German Empire at all, this is just what they use to embolden." ”
"Nope." Caesar groaned, "I once heard Ernst say that there was a great Han empire in the far east, and although he was a spy, I felt that he was not lying. I'm curious about this man, he must be hiding a lot of secrets. When I catch him in the future, I must not hurt him, but I will interrogate him myself. ”
As he spoke, he sneered: "What a bold man, 'will do everything I can to defeat the Roman legions again and again, until they no longer dare to make any attempt against Germain...... 'Does he really think that he can defeat me again?' Did he really think that with the barbarians in his hands, he could defeat the Roman Republic? My generals, now that the enemy has given us a disgrace, let us return the same disgrace to the barbarians tenfold! ”
"Your Excellency the Governor, please give orders!" The Roman generals said in high spirits.
Caesar stood up: "Kaleni, lead your legion first, carefully search for the whereabouts of the barbarians, and don't be careless, I feel that the way these barbarians fight is not the same as before, and the prestige of the Roman legions cannot continue to be damaged in any way!" ”
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
"Gaius, you're in charge of covering my right flank."
"Yes, Lord Governor."
"Everyone, act now!"
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Caesar looked at everything in front of him coldly, at this time he had already decided to kill all those barbarians without leaving behind! (To be continued......)
