Chapter 26: Dividing the Frontier and Splitting the Earth (1)

"God is not the maker of chaos, but the founder of peace." - St. Paul

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At this time, before Sifax could answer anything, the entourages tied him up and stuffed him into the light mule cart beside the cavalry. The rest of the cavalry surrounded Tlureas in dense circles, leaving the prisoners and killings just now unknown.

Then, Tlureas drew his sword and shouted at about five hundred cavalrymen around him, "Someone wants to rebel against the high priest's conquest, and conspired to hold the military chief to launch a rebellion. The rebels are right under the city wall of Lilibi in front of them. Their crimes are obvious. Let us kill them all with iron hooves and swords!"

"Kill all these rats." All the entourages and cavalry raised their swords and shouted, then pulled the reins and shaking the horse's head to charge. The reserve brigade at the end, with the two wings that were charging at the same time, thought that Telureas was leading them in the lead, so they cheered together.

From that collapsed wall, the three brigades led by Bitaas, who had crossed the water diversion channel and two street corners, the circular city square in front appeared in front without any obstruction. "This is the passage here, everyone bravely charges with me, don't let the enemy escape into the acropolis." The horse's hair on Bitaas' helmet was fluttering, and he also heard the sound of horse hooves and trumpets outside the city wall - it seems that the commander of the army, with the rest of his men, was coming as his support. At this time, we should seize control of this narrow road as soon as possible and directly seize the core of the city, and then we will win!

In front of the colonnade of the city hall, there were smoke burning documents everywhere. There were slaves running around. Seeing this scene, Bitaias, who was running endlessly, couldn't help laughing, "Leo is here, block him, kill him, and give his head to his foreign father as a gift."

And all the twin legion soldiers shouting and charging could clearly see that under the gables of the city hall, there was a quiet, medium-sized young man wearing a thick cloak, with fine cyrene robes and scroll documents in his palm. This must be Leo!

Poor child, he is still so young, but who told your head to be so valuable?

Suddenly, many soldiers wearing Spanish helmets rushed out from behind and on both sides of Leo. They were uniformly dressed in fine chain mail and holding rectangular shields. Unexpectedly, there were about 300 loyal barbarian guards beside Leo, but this could not change the situation, and we still had the advantage.

"Soldiers, without the permission of any superior order, you have arbitrarily taken armed actions against the cities under the Executive Yuan. I need a reasonable explanation, as the deputy envoy of the Sicily Province." Leo, under the escort of the soldiers, walked gently from here to there, but asked Bitais and other soldiers with great enthusiasm.

"The Executive Yuan where you are and your inauguration documents are false and transgressive! And I am the one who executes the execution, there are always people who do this, right? I, the centurion Bitheas, will soon be transformed into an executioner and an executioner. Although this is not Capitola Mountain, forget it, let's just do it. Uncle Bitheas will cut off your head immediately, and the heads of your whole family will sooner or later gather in the Roman Square. Crows and wild dogs will become your musicians and dancers." Bitheas mocked, and then began to use his sword to beat the shield, which attracted cheers from the chaos behind.

Leo pointed his finger at the semi-circular square, and was full of soldiers. "Soldiers, although you were previously under a camp that was different from my father, you were defeated in Sardinia. My father forgives everyone. He does not expect you to get your rewards. He only hopes that you can complete your career as ordinary soldiers and get resettlement money and land. But now you have chosen the stupidest behavior, which is rebellion!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Bitais and several centurions also roared. At this time, all the soldiers roared together to express their determination, trying to suppress Leo's shouting.

"Your chance is the last time. Now you are lying on the ground, throwing down your shields and weapons to surrender. You know, I have a whole army on hand now, and they have surrounded you all around. In addition, General Maximus' fleet will also sail into the Lilibi Harbour after a moment, so your future is not bright. Surrender, and those who recognize the situation may survive. Wouldn't you think about your comrades, your own villagers, your wives and children? I don't like to kill anyone, but someone despicable in the dark to kill me and kill innocent others, I will issue an order to clear the enemy without hesitation." Leo rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his arms and fingers, and said in an unprecedented stern tone.

"Everyone, this poor yellow-headed boy is just bluffing. I think he is so scared that he is incoherent in the current situation." Bitais put his helmet on again, then slashed the sword in his hand, "Everything, go forward!"

At this time, Leo also gritted his teeth and pulled out the sword from the scabbard under his cloak, and slashed it against each other, "—Kill—Kill all the soldiers."

This is, on the second floor of the city hall, and on the gables, rows of light archers stood up, all holding Ligurian arches, and then bursts of sound, "There is an ambush!" In front of the stern shout, countless arrows and crossbows were intertwined, and many people immediately froze, then covered their necks and faces and fell down. They were a little quick-eyed and fast-wielding, protecting themselves with shields, squatted down, and tangled each other forward and backward, and continued to advance strongly in the pouring rain of arrows.

But at this time, warriors holding belly bows appeared in groups of three or three in the surrounding buildings, arcades, public villas, memorial towers, and theaters around the entire square. The crossbow arrows shot from all directions. Most of the subordinates of Bitaas fell down in an unknown way with death and injuries. Bitaas felt something was wrong. In addition, more and more barbarian guards rushed out of the streets, rushing towards their own side, "Is this really a trap? Form formation and stabilize, the back team turned into front teams, stacked into shield walls, and retreated along the road." Bitaas decided to withdraw from this pocket-shaped square first and meet with friendly troops who came to "receive" the city wall.
