Chapter 54: For Freedom
"Eumes, Lagertius, the Romans are catching up!" A Spartan warrior, who happened to look back, shouted.
"No way, they should still be some distance from us!" When Eumes heard the voice of this Spartan warrior, he was taken aback, and immediately looked back to the rear, and sure enough, he saw seventy or eighty Roman soldiers hanging from them at a distance of more than a hundred meters.
"They seem to be the soldiers on those two battleships, but how can there be so many of them!" Lagerseus was also stunned when he saw several of these Roman soldiers who had fought in battle, leaving aside the Roman battleship burned by Eumes for the time being, the other two Roman battleships should be only more than twenty people together.
"No matter how many of them there are, we will turn around and kill them, these soldiers have hooks in their hands, we can't let them get close to the merchant ships, otherwise no one will be able to leave!" Cabal frowned, and immediately realized that they were annoying.
The remaining champion gladiators glanced at each other, nodded, and immediately led the gladiators to pounce on these Roman soldiers, but the Roman soldiers behind them did not engage them. When they chased, the Romans ran, and they turned back and headed for the merchant ships, and the Romans hoisted them from a distance, always keeping a distance of more than a hundred meters.
"These Roman pigs......" Lagseus couldn't suppress his anxiety and cursed.
"Ragtheus, Eumes, go!" Cabal said in a deep voice, his face resolute.
"We came all the way to Sicily to pick you up, and if we want to stay, let's stay together!" Chisonis's one-eyed light shone brightly.
"The mistakes of the Carthaginians must be made up by the Carthaginians themselves, Chisonis, Eumos, Lagerseus, I have returned to my homeland and do not want to leave again!" Cabal said with a smile, then pointed to the rescued ladies at the back of the group and said, "Do you want them to be captured by the Romans again?" ”
"If you have women, come with them!" Cabal yelled at the thirty or so Carthaginian gladiators who had been rescued behind him.
"Kabal, take care!" The three of them looked at the gladiator team behind them, gritted their teeth, and turned around and ran towards the merchant ship again.
"Brothers, more than two hundred compatriots and more than a hundred gladiator brothers are watching us from behind, let them see that the Carthaginians are not cowards, not cowards!" Cabal roared at the twenty or so remaining Carthaginian gladiators, "For my brother! ”
"For freedom!" The Carthaginian gladiators echoed with a loud voice, and looked at the more than eighty Roman soldiers who pounced on them with hideous faces.
……
"Ragseus, Ragseus!" Claudia, who had been standing on the side of the ship looking out at the harbor, finally saw her lover running towards the merchant ship, and immediately swept away the anxious look on her face, and raised her arms in joy.
"Claudia, let's go down, it's dangerous here!" Niya said worriedly, carrying a bow and arrow.
After nailing Lucius with her own hands, this woman, who was originally as weak as a willow leaf in the wind, became the same as before. In addition to taking care of her baby, she also worked hard to learn archery, and now every time she fights, she can bravely stand behind the battlefield, using the sharp arrows in her hands to support the gladiators in hand-to-hand combat, and she has slowly transformed into a resolute female warrior.
"Claudia!" A hint of joy finally appeared on Ragseus' heavy face, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a little grateful to Cabal. He may not be afraid of death, but when he thinks of Claudia's grief-stricken face after his death, he can't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"They can't catch up!" Seeing the brigade of Romans rushing over from the Roman military camp more than a hundred meters away, Chisonis, who was the first to step on the board, smiled easily.
"Boss, another slave ship has set sail!" Dinah said, pointing to the other side of the harbor.
"Command set sail!" Looking at the first merchant ship that had traveled hundreds of meters and the second merchant ship that was setting sail, Xu Mo pursed his lips.
……
"Throw guns!" The Roman officer who arrived shouted angrily.
Before this battle, he had already been reminded to pay attention to the safety of the harbor, but although this person was also a Roman, he was a newcomer, and he didn't take it to heart, he didn't expect such a big mistake now.
"Cut!" Lagerseus turned back to parry, easily parryed, and the javelin thrown from behind him stepped back onto the board, the side of the ship just over ten paces away, and behind him was his lover Claudia, who was facing him with open arms.
Thinking of Claudia, Lagerseus looked back happily, and suddenly the smile on his face immediately froze on his face, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pin's eye, "No~~~~, Claudia!" ”
Hearing Lagethus's shout, Claudia raised her arm with all her might, barely a smile on her face, and opened her mouth to say something, but a large mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, blocking her words.
"K~Law~Di~Ya!" Nia next to her shouted softly in a trembling voice, her eyes fixed on the javelin that pierced Claudia's left chest.
"Claudia!" Ragseus crawled to his lover's side and grabbed Claudia, his usually rock-steady hands trembling slightly.
......Claudia raised her hand with a strong smile, wiped away the tears on Lagerseus' cheeks, then lowered her hand, slowly closed her eyes, and with a peaceful smile on her face, she closed her eyes and died in her lover's arms.
Holding back tears, Nia stood up, drew an arrow and put it on her bow, caught the feather between her three fingers, and aimed it at the Roman officer who was rushing at the front of the Roman army.
"Bang!" There was a soft sound of the bowstring, and Nia's cold gaze pierced the throat of the Roman officer like a sharp arrow, and the Roman officer reached out to cover his throat and staggered to the ground, and the Roman army rushing behind him couldn't help but froze.
“BOSS!” Dinah, who rushed to hear the news, shook her head at Xu Mo next to her, signaling that Claudia had passed away.
Although the "Apollo Elixir" can restore the functional trauma of the characters, it takes some time for it to take effect. Claudia's heart was pierced by a javelin, and she passed away almost in just over ten seconds, and Xu Mo and the others couldn't help it.
"Pull off the plank, let's go!" Looking at Lagerseus, who was holding Claudia and crying bitterly, and then at Cabal and the others who had fallen into the encirclement of the Romans, Xu Mo waved his hand a little gloomily, signaling the Spartan warriors on the ship to start the ship.
……
"It's a pity, Simon, that only one champion gladiator is left!" A muscular strong man like a bull looked at the dead Cabal with his eyes wide open, and said in a rough voice, "He is indeed an admirable gladiator, I really don't know what method Lao K used to make this kind of person willing to die for him!" ”
"Hee-hee, big brute bull, if Simon hadn't asked us to hide the more than fifty Roman soldiers we bought in the woods by the harbor, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to keep this champion gladiator!" A girl in a princess dress holding a small parasol chuckled on the back of Simon, who was as delicate as a flower.
"Alright, don't make a fuss about Cher!" Simon frowned his good-looking willow eyebrows and said regretfully, "It's a pity, the plot forces that belong to Rome are too difficult to control, and it's good to get these benefits!" ”
"Simon, why didn't we assassinate Joseph after the Romans captured them, it should be easy to do, six bloody Rubik's cubes!" The brute bull asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, Joseph and the others still have hole cards, that Qin Long and Roland's attack is very high, we don't have a good grasp, not to mention that if we catch them, we will complete the task, and we don't need to make any extraneous branches." Simon explained, narrowing his big watery eyes.
"Da Manniu, didn't we get the information, at the end of this world, there will be many reincarnators from the old qualification superstring space who will enter our space, I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will have to cooperate with Joseph, Lao K and others!" After getting off Simon's back, Cher climbed onto the back of the bull with her hands and feet.
"Joseph is nothing more than that, but he wasted the powerful attack power of that team! As for old K......" Simon bowed his head and fell into deep thought.
"What are you afraid of, Simon, haven't you already gotten the job transfer prop in this world! When the time comes, I believe that Lao K will also be trampled under our feet! Manniu said confidently, "What's more, Old K's plan this time has been completely seen through by you, and I believe that he is not your opponent!" ”
"Old K is not so easy to deal with!" Simon laughed dumbly, "Let's go, let's chase after the battleship, I estimate that some of the proceeds will be ...... at sea."
