Roman Slave Owner

"Back! Everyone, back! Everyone, retreat to the barracks!"

The military tribune said with red eyes.

They have always been the only ones who ambushed the enemy, but they didn't expect to be ambushed by the enemy today, and they were in their own city.

What a disgrace!

The Roman soldiers immediately retreated, and at this moment, an army in full armor stopped them from behind.

There is no difference between their armor and Roman armor, with the same shield and short sword, it looks like the real Roman army.

But these Roman guards knew that they were by no means their own people, but enemies.

The two sides collided fiercely, and the Roman soldiers desperately rushed forward, trying to cut a bloody path with the sharpness of their weapons.

But what frightened them was that the weapons of these enemies were exactly the same as theirs, and they turned out to be an army completely equipped with steel swords.

This frightened them, and screams kept coming from behind. In order to avoid being hit by the falling objects from the roof, the Roman soldiers kept crowding forward.

This caused the Roman soldiers in the front to be constantly pushed and shoved by the people behind, and their movements were severely deformed. Those enemies took the opportunity to stab the steel swords into their bodies fiercely.

Half an hour later, there were almost no Romans standing here.

They either lost their lives or fell to the ground wounded.

At this moment, Relius and Lesix came over.

"Do you want to kill them all!"

Relius said with complicated eyes.

Although these soldiers were Romans, they were his enemies, and he didn't mind killing them at all.

"Maybe we can use these guys!"

Lysix said with a smile.

"how to use?"

Relius frowned and said.

"You'll see soon enough."

Lysix said.

Plauus and the others knew nothing about the situation in the outer city.

But it didn't take long for some pirates to push some wounded Roman soldiers towards the inner city.

"Listen to the Roman soldiers above, all of your people are dead. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the city will be destroyed and you will all be killed."

Lesix said loudly proudly.

"How can this be?"

"How did they lose to a bunch of pirates?"

"..."

The Roman soldiers on the city wall said that they fought north and south, defeated the Samni and Lucanians who were several times their own, and defeated the Numidian elephant cavalry and a large number of troops in Africa. Believed to have been defeated by a band of pirates.

But everything in front of them seems to prove their words.

"You don't believe it, do you? Then see what this is?"

After speaking, the heads were thrown on the city wall by the pirates. After the throwing, the pirates fled quickly, fearing that they would shoot arrows.

"This is... Hypsius, a centurion."

"Plancus, it is Plancus,

He was a military tribune. Were they really defeated by a group of pirates? "

"..."

Seeing those heads, the soldiers said in horror, these are the heads of senior officers, and they all know each other.

This is absolutely impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

Plautus was completely stunned. He never believed that the two brigades would be completely wiped out by the pirates.

"Let the arrows! Let me shoot the arrows!"

Plautus said angrily.

The soldiers on the city wall fired their arrows one after another, but because the wounded Roman soldiers blocked them, their arrows deviated from the target intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, the pirates retreated quickly.

"Is this your choice? Kill those Roman soldiers for me."

Relius said viciously.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

With the sound of sharp blades piercing into the flesh, the Roman soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

The soldiers on the city wall were all eye-opening, wishing they could kill all those pirates.

Plautus' face was also gloomy, two brigades of soldiers were missing, and unknown changes had taken place on the battlefield, which made him doubt whether he could hold the inner city.

Morris was dizzy for a while, and almost fainted to the ground. What happened outside?

Relius discussed with Lysix for a while, and immediately gave the order to attack.

Some pirates rushed forward with sandbags on their backs, using various covers such as door panels and shields.

"Fire the arrow, let me shoot the arrow."

cried Plautus.

Arrows were shot at the pirates on the city wall, and some pirates were shot immediately, which made their momentum stagnate.

Seeing this, both Relius and Lysix almost cursed. They are really a bunch of useless people who are not doing enough, but doing more than doing nothing.

If it weren't for the 2000 elite mercenaries brought by Lesix, this sneak attack would have failed long ago, but now they still have a chance.

At this moment, a huge stone flew into the sky, and then hit the city wall fiercely.

The entire city wall was shaken by its impact, and a large amount of gravel fell from the city wall.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall were all stunned in shock.

"The trebuchet! It turned out to be a trebuchet!"

Some soldiers said in horror that although their city wall is very good, it is absolutely impossible to block the attack of the trebuchet.

Only then did they realize that the parts of the trebuchet were placed in the warehouse in the outer city. These were originally used to defend the city wall, but unexpectedly fell into the hands of the enemy. The worst thing was that there were many matching stones inside.

Relius had known for a long time that there were trebuchet accessories in the warehouse here. He learned how to operate the trebuchet through some noble channels, and trained some craftsmen to pass the door to operate the trebuchet.

"Rush up to me, don't be afraid, they dare not shoot anymore."

Lysix said loudly.

Seeing that the soldiers stopped shooting, the pirates rushed up immediately, but after a while, under the strict order of Plautus, the soldiers started shooting again.

A stone flew towards the city wall again, killing several soldiers, but this did not stop them from shooting.

The pirates couldn't stand the casualties and retreated again.

Regarding these pirates, both Relius and Lysix were extremely disappointed.

It's okay for them to fight against the wind, but they can't fight against the wind at all.

"Do you want to send your elites there?"

Relius said.

"No, I can't waste them on meaningless sieges. I have another way. Didn't we capture some civilians and let them go."

Lysix said coldly.

Relius was a little hesitant. If this decision got out, it would be very detrimental to the family's reputation, but in the end he still made up his mind.

"All right then."

Relius said.

"That's right."

Lysix's face immediately changed.

Not long after, some civilians appeared in the sight of the soldiers, and they walked over carrying all kinds of sand and stones.

"Don't shoot, I'm a resident of Dragon City, and my husband is the city's guard."

A middle-aged woman said.
