Nova Roma

Chapter 113 - Roman counterattack



Thousands of men, women, and children began to charge in the second line of defense to conquer it so that the giants could pass without much trouble.

Amancio had preventive measures for a situation like that, the soldiers seeing the human slaves of the giants raised their spears and created a wall where the enemy slaves were impaled.

While some soldiers made the wall of spears, soldiers from the rear used their crossbows to kill any enemy they could, but even with enemies being pierced by the spears the slave children managed to enter through some gaps.

These little children had obsidian daggers that they used by throwing themselves on the soldiers holding the spears, some managed to bury their daggers in the eyes of the soldiers before a soldier from the back will cut their little heads with the edge of their steel sabers.

Some others were not so lucky because they died in the air when a Bolt managed to bury himself in his chest or head, Roman soldiers do not care if they are children or adults, if he has a weapon he is an enemy that is prepared to kill and die.

For Flavio that phrase was of the utmost importance and was taught to the soldiers throughout their training, that way when they killed children or women why they attacked them would not leave a psychological mark.

The small children were quite annoying and managed to do a great deal of damage to the troops holding the spear, but they could not create a gap for their people, when there were a lot of enemies gathered the soldiers threw grenades at the large concentrations of enemies.

In just a few seconds a shower of blood and guts fell to the soldiers in the trench, the grenades turned out to be an excellent meat grinder, the slaves were frightened by the noise of the grenades and decided to flee to where the giants were.

But the only thing they found when they returned was that their giant Masters killed them for not having respected their orders, in just a few minutes the giants killed their thousands of slaves leaving blood, bones and other bodily fluids all over the place.

Amancio noticed that this action tired the giants, because they had to kill thousands of slaves, taking his sword ordered a charge against the giants now that they were tired, the soldiers came out of the trenches shouting "Invicta Rome".

Amancio personally came out in the front line armed with his faithful saber, a Flintlock pistol, and a spear, he chose his target a giant that had human remains on his face and seemed to be extremely tired.

He took his spear and bravely aimed at the giant’s chest, he tried to take the spear of Amancio but he collapsed with his foot on the ground with blood and prevented him from taking the spear, after dodging the giant’s hand he buried the spear in the Giant’s heart

The giant looked hatefully at Amancio while his body fell backward without life, Amancio used the spear as an impulse by taking it with his right hand while pulling out his Flintlock pistol with his left hand, when he passed the side of another giant that was distracted killing a soldier shot him in the ear killing him on the spot.

When he stopped his impulse and was standing on the body of the giant who killed with the spear, he kept his Flintlock pistol and drew his saber to kill the giant that was on his right side, for that he jumped to the giant’s head grabbing his hair and burying his saber repeatedly in the giant’s cerebellum killing him in the process.

Scenes like this were repeated throughout the first line of defense, the counterattack had begun, some soldiers who were about to die for the giants preferred to light their grenades and kill themselves by killing the giant on the spot.

The leader of the giants upon seeing the massacre of their warriors ordered the withdrawal with a sea shell, the noise rang all over the battlefield until it stopped abruptly because the leader was killed by Amancio.

Who when he heard the noise decided to kill that giant, approached from the back while preparing his saber, jumped to the giant’s back and buried his sword in the spine, but did not go as expected as the giant fell on his back crushing to Amancio.

The giants knew that they had lost the war the noise of the conch meant that they had to escape, quickly the giants began to run away from the Roman soldiers in their flight some fell and were easy prey for the soldiers.

When the last giant who had not been able to flee died the soldiers celebrated their victory by beheading the bodies of the giants and impaling their heads in front of the first line of defense.

It was at that moment that one of the soldiers while beheading the giant leader noticed that someone was trapped in the giant’s back, with the help of other soldiers they moved the body and found Amancio extremely injured.

Quickly the doctors began to check Amancio realized that he had some fractured bones and internal hemorrhage, with the help of two Nahual messengers took him on a stretcher flying to the hospital of Origin Civitatem where he would be operated to try to save his life.

The Cuauhtli tribe realized that they had lost the war of the 7,000 warriors who were only able to escape 100 and all the slaves died, with great sadness, they returned to their village of Iztaccíhuatl where they would wait for the punishment of the entity that had helped them.

On the other hand, the losses of sector B were more than 10,000 dead and 20,000 injured, this is the second loss of troops since the war against the damn jungle, Flavio when he heard the figures could only sigh had to admit that the giants are an enemy you don’t want to have.

The only good thing is that the river gunships demonstrated the effectiveness of shrapnel with the giants that were close to them, turning them into masses of formless meat.

At the Origin Civitatem Aulo Cornelio Celso hospital, a prominent young man in medicine who was born in Gabon Narbonense and who studied medicine in the province of Lusitania with the reforms of Flavio faced his greatest challenge in his career as a doctor.

Before he was the Legio Amancio with fractures throughout the body and internal bleeding, if he does not operate immediately he will die ...
