Chapter Ninety-One: Winning? Expansion!
Quintus's mood at this time can be described as terrible.
He had never seen such a brazen enemy, and the opponent's way of fighting was completely tricky.
And when he saw that the other soldier's body was full of arrows, and even covered with knife marks, his face was still the same, and he continued to slash his own men with the weapon in his hand.
Quintus didn't know that these soldiers of the Imperial Age were just like in the game, although their bodies were no different from real people after the system was upgraded, their essence was still a digital body, and the setting of the health bar was also perfectly preserved.
This means that no matter what damage they take, as long as the health bar does not stop, their lives will not be ended.
As a result, Quintus's heart rose up with the same mood as before Manius died.
"Are these enemies really devils crawling out of hell?"
Looking at the defeated cavalry, looking at the battle line that gradually began to crumble, looking at the enemy who almost never fell, the battle-hardened Quintus was confused.
The enemy's archers never seemed to stop, and the arrows poured into their positions.
The enemy's infantry never seemed to fall, steel knives and arrows pierced their bodies as if they were not their bodies, and there was no fear, no pain, no exhaustion in the faces of these soldiers.
Yes, only the strong breath of death, which is so oppressive that people can't breathe.
"Ahh Devil! Devil! Not ......"
Finally, a Roman soldier at the rear of the line, not covered by a rain of arrows, collapsed as he watched the tragic slaughter in the distance.
Discarding his weapon and shield, the Roman soldier began to flee backwards without hesitation.
This is a veteran who has survived more than a dozen fierce battles.
He has been in the army for almost as long as Quintus, following Quintus all the way to the present, and fighting all the way to the present, and is the most elite veteran of the team, they have been fighting all their lives, and fighting is almost the whole of their lives. Their faith was the strongest of all Roman soldiers, and it was the magic weapon of Rome's victory in many years of war.
But now, even this elite warrior has completely collapsed in the face of an almost impenetrable enemy and an almost cruel combat method.
Faced with a seemingly invincible enemy, the Roman soldier forgot his honor, forsaken his faith, abandoned his weapons and shields, and fled cowardly, just as the wolf bèi fled under his sword.
And his move was as if the defense had lit a fuse.
These warriors who fought thousands of miles in the past did not have a dozen lives in their hands, but now in the face of these demons who seem to be unable to kill anything, it seems that they have seen those unjust souls who were killed by themselves in the past come to them to ask for their lives.
Looking at the slaughtered comrades in front of them, these once elite Roman soldiers discarded their weapons, gave up their courage and glory, and turned to escape from this purgatory-like battlefield.
"These devils, we can't defeat them!"
"Don't come to me! Don't come to me! â
"Help......
The screams shook the fragile soul of this army, and also plucked the tight string in Quintus's heart.
"Boom!"
Finally, the sound of the strings breaking sounded in Quintus's head, and at this moment, the face of the general, who had fought in all directions, turned pale, and cold sweat covered his vicissitudes of life.
The originally majestic body looked so weak and powerless at this time, and it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down.
"Retreat......" Quintus' hoarse voice came out of Quintus's mouth, but the murmur was fainter than the sound of an insect even the personal guards standing beside him couldn't make out it.
"General?" The guards around him looked at Quintus suspiciously, but saw that his general was just looking at the battlefield in front of him with a blank expression.
"General?"
Another call, but it still had no effect.
The guards knew that the general, who had led the legion in all directions, was dead.
And the soul of this team has also dissipated.
He turned his head to look at the deputy commander, only to find that the man elected by the House of Elders had already peed his pants in fright, and had lost his former look.

On the blood-soaked muddy ground, Qi Lin stood in place, looking at the Roman legions in the distance, unable to believe that he had won.
The opponent's auxiliary corps was almost useless except for the 600 cavalry, and the Roman corps, which was the main force of the battle, was only less than half dead, so why did it withdraw like this?
And looking at the formation of the other wolf, it doesn't look like he's using some kind of strategy.
"Is it really okay for you to just leave? Don't you take care of the corpses all over the ground? Is it really okay to leave it all to me? Qi Lin muttered sullenly.
But now that he has won, Qi Lin is also relieved in his heart.
Originally, I was worried that the other side would send those auxiliary corps that I don't know what kind of troops to fight, but now I don't have to worry.
Leaving a thousand swordsmen to dispose of the corpses on the ground, Qi Lin withdrew to the city with the remaining soldiers and foot archers.
"System, report casualties." As soon as he walked into the city gate, Qi Lin hurriedly called out the system.
"Okay, Your Excellency Commander, please wait for ......," the cold electronic synthesized voice of the system replied, "After calculating, the losses in this battle are: 176 swordsmen and 123 spearmen killed. 343 swordsmen and 112 spearmen suffered heavy wounds (residual blood), and another 360 swordsmen and 117 spearmen suffered minor injuries (half blood). In order to ensure that you can restore your combat ability to the best of your ability, please do your best to heal. â
"So few killed?" Hearing the answer given by the system, Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, but then reacted.
The soldiers on the other side have been under the suppression of the rain of arrows, and they have basically had no chance to fight back since the battle, and it is almost normal for the losses to be low.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the density of the arrow rain was not high enough, and after Qi Lin, 500 archers were withdrawn to deal with the cavalry, and the frequency of the arrow rain was reduced a little, giving the other side a little space to breathe, and this army might still be able to achieve zero casualties.
"Looks like the flow of archers looks like a bunker!" Qi Lin sighed.
After seeing the power of the foot archers, Qi Lin hurriedly called the peasant uncle who was assigned to the construction brigade and asked them to build a few more shooting ranges.
However, because the scope of Qi Lin's previous planning was too small, the city was already crowded with buildings at this time, and there was no room for spare, so he led these peasant uncles out of the city and pointed to a flat land at the foot of the city.
"Let's build 20 as a shooting range here."
"Yes, General!" Uncle Farmer nodded in response.
"Well, after the shooting range is built, first surround the city wall here, and then ...... this place," Qi Lin pointed to the city wall at his feet, "change it to a city gate, and connect this with the city." â
"Yes, General!" Uncle Farmer nodded again.
"By the way, the area around the city wall is a little bigger, and it will be used to build military buildings in the future, you know?" Qi Lin asked.
"Understood, General!" Uncle Farmer still nodded.
"Well, okay!" Qi Lin nodded, "Go get busy, finish as much as possible." After the walls were built, 10 more barracks were built here. â
"Yes, General!"
"Be sure to make the fence bigger!"
"Yes......"
"You must remember!"
"Yes......"
