Chapter 271 Defeat
"That's decided!" Luga said with a smile, then he stood up and walked to the side of the boat.
For this new operation, Luga specially prepared two iron swords. Because there were too many people to kill, he was not sure whether one sword could withstand such high-intensity attacks.
"Your Mightiness!"
Suddenly, Belia called him from behind Luga, and Luga turned around to look at him with a puzzled look. He changed his listless look and used his cloak to wipe the iron sword in his hand. The sword was already stained with blood, but Hermanus was still trying to wipe it clean.
Feeling that the sword had been completely renewed, Belialiu took a deep breath and handed it solemnly to Luga.
"If you insist on going, please make sure to make those beasts suffer." Belia lowered his head, holding the iron sword he used, and stood in front of Luga. His face was still so pale, and it looked even more so against the blood stains on his face.
Luga looked at Belialiu in front of him and had to admit that he looked really different now. After the baptism of blood, he no longer looked like a rookie who pursued a life of fighting all day long, but more like an upright warrior.
Without saying anything, Luca reached out and took the iron sword handed over by Belia, weighed it in his hand for a few times, and nodded slightly at him, which was regarded as accepting this request. Belia's solemn face showed a little smile, but the smile quickly disappeared.
Luka had two iron swords on his waist, a shield in his left hand, and the iron sword handed to him by Belia in his right hand. He raised the sword and looked at it carefully. The iron sword was covered with cracks, which were caused by the continuous beating of the metal.
"This sword may not hold up for long." Luca tried to swing it twice as he walked, but it was just an ordinary iron sword. He understood what Belia wanted to do, he just wanted to use him to kill more Vandals to relieve his anger. "This little wish can still be fulfilled!" Luca thought to himself, his mouth corners slightly raised, facing the upcoming battle, he was actually a little excited in his heart. "It's been too long since I've been involved in a battle, I really don't know if I will become rusty because of not fighting for a long time." But this is not a problem, because the battle is right in front of them, and it is a naval battle that Luca has never experienced before.
"Let me see how much strength you Vandals have left." Luca sneered and came to the next level of the deck, because he would go down here and board the Vandal warship.
Faced with the six new rows of warships, the Vandals naturally used their newly invented and proud tactics without a second thought, and soon dozens of small boats rushed over.
Behind the six-row warship that Luca was on were two five-row warships, and four four-row warships coordinated with each other. Facing the oncoming Vandal warships, Luca raised his head and shouted, "Don't worry about them! Ram them with all your strength!"
“Speed up! Speed up!”
The officers ordered the slaves to paddle the oars vigorously to increase the speed of the heavy warship to the extreme. The huge warship rode the wind and waves, like a killer whale, pouncing on its prey.
There were strange cries from the Vandals ahead. They must have been frightened by the heavy warships that were attacking at full force. They didn't seem to be as aggressive as the warships that were attacking in parallel just now, because they were not that fast. If we had known earlier that in order to ensure the stability of the army, the six rows of warships naturally couldn't attack at full speed, with manpower, so the warships would naturally perform fast and slow. In addition, the small warships didn't cooperate well, so the Vandal warships quickly surrounded the six rows of warships that were advancing slowly.
But the six rows of warships were different because they had no formation restrictions and could move at full speed. It was impossible for the small warship to stop them.
“Boom boom boom…”
Six rows of warships swept forward, and the Vandal warships that stepped forward to block them were no match at all. Their sailors screamed and jumped into the sea, and soon overturned and tore all the Vandal warships into pieces like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
"That's it!" Luca laughed as he looked at the shredded wreckage of the warship and the Vandals struggling in the water, and turned back and shouted, "Hermanus, keep going and take us to where the Vandal warships are most concentrated."
The six rows of warships continued to move forward, clearing obstacles one after another, and rushed straight into the deepest part of the densely packed Vandal formation, opening up a waterway in the warships that looked like land. The following warships followed their pace and eventually met up with the six rows of warships that had cleared the way and stopped in the center.
The Vandals were stunned by the attack. They had never thought that the Romans would hold back such a trick. They couldn't understand why the Romans would come all the way to die. Didn't they know how powerful their kerosene was? The Vandals gradually approached the warship, holding various weapons, with curiosity and joy on their faces. I'm afraid everyone wanted to see who was so stupid that he didn't care about his own life and rushed in.
“Woo——”
A long attack horn sounded from the Roman warships, which did not slow down the Vandals, because in their eyes, the guys who broke in were already dead! "Okay, gentlemen!"
Luca put on his own helmet, which was no different from that of an ordinary soldier. The biggest difference was the red vertical horse sash on the top of his head, which was worn by ordinary centurions, so it was not uncommon, in order to conceal his presence. He turned around and looked at the soldiers who were about to accompany him, who were also fully armed, and said, "Look, the Vandals heard our battle horn and had no intention of running away. This is very sad, because they don't know what fear is, so ignorance has bound them in place and invaded their consciousness, making them unconsciously approach us. They are blind because they don't know how terrible we are, but it doesn't matter, because we are about to let them know that we are the embodiment of fear!"
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”
The soldiers struck their shields with their iron swords, showing their commander that they would fight with all their might.

"Okay! Now follow me!"
Luka raised his iron sword high and roared, and after a run, he was the first to jump off the warship. The soldiers roared and followed him, following Luka.
The Romans who descended from the sky caught the Vandals off guard, and Luca stepped on a Vandal holding a kerosene bottle. While the others were still not aware of what was happening, Luca chopped off the head of a Vandal holding an iron hook and preparing to hook the boat.
"This is the first one!" Luca shouted, and then the Roman soldiers who jumped onto the deck one after another quickly filled the Vandal warships under the six rows of warships, which caught the Vandals off guard. They could only defend themselves and had no power to resist. Luca seized this opportunity and used the advantage of the iron sword on the deck to slash at will, which really made the Vandals see fear and death.
