After the rest, the Roman legions, under the command of Styricus, methodically occupied two more fortresses. Even the desperate resistance of the Celtic knights of the fortress did not help. However, the main forces of Britain were concentrated in the largest fortresses, and the losses were not very large. The sturdy fortress combined with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table made it tricky for Stilico.

Styrico's men attacked the fort for a day, and most of the soldiers were tired. He decided to withdraw his troops and wait until tomorrow to fight again, so that his soldiers could keep themselves in the best condition to attack and reduce casualties.

Groups of Roman soldiers slowly withdrew, retreating into the five fortresses they had occupied. Now that the fortress had been conquered, the Roman army did not need to be stationed in the desolate uninhabited villages as before. All it takes is to repair the damage to the fortress caused by this morning's siege, and it is a good place to garrison, and it also marks the establishment of the Romans on British soil.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Yugris noticed something unusual. A large number of British soldiers withdrew from the fortress in the distance, and the golden crown on the head of the leading King Arthuria, stood out. He hurried to inform coach Stirico, "Those Celtic barbarians seem to be aware of the disparity in strength and are running away!" ”

"What's the use of running away? Occupying the southern forts, these barbarians can still inflict some damage on us. Flee like this, and there will be no more fortresses in the north that can effectively stop our advance. Stirrico laughed. Although he laughed at the cowardice of the British, he would not give up such a good opportunity easily. Stirrico immediately ordered the pursuit. "Quickly seize the fortress."

With 20,000 Roman soldiers in the front, Yugris went to seize the fortress and slaughtered the largest fortress that had long been unmanned. When Styrico arrived at the fort, he saw that the gates around the fort were wide open. From afar, the British army had gone far. Stirrico did not stand in the way of entering the fortress at all. The fortress was also empty, and there was not a single person in sight.

Jugris said to Stilico: "I can't imagine that the Lord of Britain, who is famous for his bravery, could be so cowardly. I thought it would be a great deal of resistance in the south and a lot of troops to conquer the land. It was getting late now, and our soldiers were tired after a long day's battle. It is better to rest in this fort as soon as possible, and take Britain again tomorrow. ”

At this time, the Roman soldiers were tired, and their stomachs were protesting towards the evening, and the soldiers were all scrambling to eat one by one. Stirrico did not restrain him, and the Britons were running away under the leadership of the "unworthy of the name" King Arthur, and there was no need to be guarded. He, Eugris and other Roman generals went to the main hall of the fortress to discuss the future battle plan.

After a while, a strong wind suddenly blew. Roman soldiers guarding the gates of the fortress came to report the fire.

Yugris waved his hand indifferently and said, "This must have been accidentally lit by those soldiers who were cooking, don't care, just let them extinguish it themselves." Don't deal with it with great fanfare, disturbing the morale of the army. ”

"Maybe." Stirrico nodded worriedly, but there was always something wrong in his heart. King Arthur's retreat this evening was so sudden that he was very unsure. But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find fault with it.

Before Yugris could finish speaking, another soldier hurried into the hall. Unfortunately, he collided with the last soldier who was about to go out.

"How are you flustered!" Yugris said dissatisfied, for fear that Stiliko would blame him for not bringing his soldiers well and being so unstable. "Watch out next time!"

"Yes, Mistress Yugris." The soldier agreed, and hurriedly reported to Stirrico: "Oh no, boss, several gates around the fortress are on fire!" The fire was so large that it simply could not be extinguished. None of our soldiers who rushed to fight the fire dared to approach! ”

"What ?!!" As soon as Stirrico slapped the table, the generals of the entire hall were shocked. It wasn't cooking that started the fire, and when you think of the strange retreat of the Britons today, it's all clear.

"I can't imagine that those damn brutes are actually this scheme!" Yugris suddenly realized, "My lord, what can I do about this!" Now we're all roast suckling pigs! ”

"Pass the order, and the legions quickly evacuate this fortress!" Stirrico quickly cut through the mess and said decisively.

In the blink of an eye, the whole fortress was ablaze with blazing fire, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the dark evening sky was red. Inside the fortress, the soldiers of the Roman legions were in disarray. Unlike the fire caused by Mordred's attack on the camp when he first logged in, this time it really burned his ass!

Escorted by his generals, Stirico rushed out of the hall and kicked down a soldier fleeing in panic.

"Who doesn't have long eyes...... Your Excellency! The soldier was kicked down as he fled for his life, and just as he was about to get up from the ground, he saw Stirrico's face with a blue face.

"What about order? Just running around here with no brains? Where's your queue?! Stirico lectured the soldier, and Yugris tugged at his arm a few times, signaling that it was important for him to flee for his life. Tell me, which side of the door isn't on fire? ”

"Lord Boss, it is said that the back door is safe and sound." The soldiers sweated like rain. "If you don't have anything more to ask, can you let me go?"

Your own life is important, if you wait for the fire to get bigger, it will be too late. The soldier had been delayed by Stirrico for so long, and he had already been in a hurry.

"Get out of here!" Stirrico said angrily, "Let's go to the back door!" ”
