Chapter 369 Escape

“Damn it!”

Kevin Sean glared at the approaching Roman legions. All those who could still move or could be called Saxon soldiers came to the town's watchtower or gathered around Kevin Sean.

Their formation was in disarray, and although everyone was pretending to be calm, the trembling in their bodies showed that they were just like their leader, calm on the surface but full of fear in their hearts.

Kevin Sean weighed the Dragon Breath Sword in his hand, but his face no longer had the arrogance he had yesterday. His face was solemn, and his furrowed brows had exposed his inner thoughts. He had no confidence in winning this battle at all.

Since the invasion, the Saxons have maintained their own unique lifestyle and refused to integrate into the old towns of Britannia. They seemed to be incompatible with the Romans and their lifestyle, so they did not choose to settle in the Roman city but built their own settlements around the city. In other words, they would rather build their own towns outside the old Roman city than live with the citizens. It is precisely because of this characteristic that Luca can attack without restraint, because he does not need to worry about damaging the feelings of the former citizens and Roman nobles.

The loaders put the stone eggs into the trebuchets that were ready to go, and the priests held olive branches and dipped the water in the brass basins in their hands. They said that this was holy water, blessed by the Virgin Mary, and that any soldier who touched this holy water would be blessed by the Virgin Mary and invulnerable to swords and guns.

The priests walked in front of the soldiers, who held olive branches and sprinkled water on them. Every soldier closed his eyes, waiting for the favor of the Virgin Mary.

"Archers! Archers in position!"

The subordinate commander shouted loudly for the archers to come out of the army formation. They quickly came to a distance of nearly 100 meters in front of the Saxon army formation. They stuck the arrows on the ground, drew their bows and arrows, pulled the bows and shot the first wave of arrows.

"Sean, Sean!" Just when the two sides were about to engage in a war of contact, Tiberius appeared behind Kevin Sean.

"Oh, it's you again, you damn Roman. I forgot to deal with you, you bastard." Kevin Sean used his shield to block the arrows that could fly at him at any time.

"You may not believe me now, but I really want to help you, for God's sake. No, for Valhalla's sake." Tiberius begged bitterly. He did not want to see Kevin Sean repeat the mistakes of the leaders of Belgian Gaul.

"Okay, okay, you Roman!" Kevin Sean seemed impatient, but he still looked at Tiberius patiently, waiting to see if he had any good ideas.

"We have no choice but to retreat, abandon our original land, go back and find your allies. You need them now, instead of fighting a meaningless battle here. You will die. Retreat. Flavius ​​Luca is invincible now." Tiberius shouted loudly. He really wanted Kevin Sean to listen to every word.

"What are they arguing about?" Luca saw the arguing parties from a distance, and of course he was very familiar with that figure.

"Oh, isn't that the Tiberius I've been dreaming about?" Luca's face showed a sneer. He looked at the two arguing parties from a distance and said lightly: "It seems that the guys I want to deal with are all here. You damn dog, I'll finally catch you!"

As he spoke, Luca suddenly turned his head and looked at the slingers behind him and shouted, "Smash, smash these damn barbarians to death!"

“Huff, huff, huff…”

The soldiers operated the levers and the trebuchets were put into operation. Dozens of stone eggs flew into the sky and landed directly on the Saxon army and the houses in the town behind them.

The destructive power and roar brought by the stone eggs caused panic among everyone present.

"Can we defeat them? Can we defeat them?" The soldiers were asking themselves. They whispered to each other during the defense. Their confidence was shaken. The soldiers, or rather all men, women and children who were able to fight, were not sure that they could win this battle.

Such doubts were clearly raised to Kevin Sean. They gradually began to disbelieve that the guardian of Valhalla could help them defeat the aggressive Romans.

"Cavalry! Cavalry, forward! Forward!"

Luga didn't have the patience to wait for the negligible consumption of archers and catapults, so he gave orders loudly.

The trumpeter blew the horn, and the messenger waved the flag in the direction of the cavalry. The two thousand cavalrymen who followed Luca obeyed Luca's orders. They slowly walked out of the army formation and prepared to slowly walk towards the seemingly indestructible Saxon army formation in front of them. They had to get close enough to launch a charge. No one, least of all the Saxon army, was able to stop the charge of these two thousand cavalrymen.

"Make up your mind, Lord Sean!" Seeing that large number of cavalrymen were slowly approaching them, they didn't have enough time. Tiberius grabbed Kevin Sean by the collar. He couldn't wait any longer and shouted at Kevin Sean: "Run, run, turn back! Turn back!"

The determined look on Kevin Sean's face disappeared. He began to feel doubtful and unconfident. This was the last thing a leader should have, but it showed clearly on his face.

"Closer, closer, get ready, get ready to speed up!" The cavalrymen held their spears upright, pointing them directly at the Saxons not far away. The Saxon javelin throwers braved the rain of arrows and flying stones to meet the Roman cavalry. They held javelins in their hands and charged at the gradually accelerating Roman cavalry.

"Stop them, stop them!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Saxon javelinmen gritted their teeth, knowing that they could not go back. They held their javelins on their shoulders and threw them at the oncoming Roman cavalry.

"well!"

Finally at this time, Kevin Sean nodded. He listened to Tiberius's advice, turned around and said to his people: "Saxon warriors, follow my steps, let's go back, there is no point in fighting here, let's go, find our partners, and then take revenge!"

With this command, the Saxon army instantly disappeared. They followed their leader Kevin Sean, crying and shouting along the way, making earth-shaking howls, abandoning their homes and disappearing in the streets. The interlaced houses covered their tracks. They carried nothing with them, and abandoned all their food, clothes, and equipment.

The Roman cavalry squadrons charged, killing all the Saxon javelin throwers who were willing to sacrifice themselves like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

"General, they ran away!" The cavalryman who returned to his horse told Luga the news of Kevin Sean's escape.

Luga's Adam's apple just moved, but he didn't get angry like a normal person.
