People are in the moon, The Sims

"Let's secretly transport all our treasures back to our hometown and hide them in the tomb I have prepared. Even if I fail in the end, these treasures will become the fire of the future together with my will."

Boudica said these words very calmly. Boudica did not seem to feel despair because of the huge disparity in strength in front of him. From the moment he chose to pick up the sword in his hand, such an ending was already expected.

Chapter 243: The situation cannot be eased

Boudica faced the possibility of death in the future very calmly. There was nothing to avoid. Death was inherent in life. If he could become a flame, then he would have deserved his death.

It's just that my attitude is not very suitable to be displayed in front of the soldiers. Although I know that it is cruel to do so, only by letting the soldiers have the belief that they must win can they gain a glimmer of hope.

Rome...ah, I must defeat Rome!

Boudica clenched her fists. The anger and hatred in her heart could only be calmed down after defeating Rome. She was absolutely sure! absolute! Rome will not be forgiven! ! This is a queen's oath to everyone in this land, and this is a mother's oath to her daughter! This is born out of love and the determination to protect it!

This is also what drives Boudica, the young queen, to fight on the front line.

Perhaps because of long-standing grievances, perhaps in order to repay Rome's atrocities a hundred times, the second fortress, which was the future city of London, was captured by Boudicca's army, and all the Roman residents were massacred. The Romans once imposed All the various tortures suffered by the Britannians were repaid.

Women became slaves, men and children had their heads chopped off, and were made into special sacrifices by the druids of Britannia to announce the queen's victory to heaven. Boudica did not stop this behavior. , although she never said it, this is actually what she wants to do.

It was just that the administrator was sitting in her hometown and everything about him was returned intact.

Then, a few days later Boudicca and the Britons captured Verulamiam, the capital of the Catuvilauni tribe, which had won legal status as the first municipality of Roman Britain, and thus the city The inhabitants of Britain were regarded as collaborators of the Romans, and they were treated without mercy.

Lucy, who had just set foot on this land, received such a report. Until now, this war has destroyed three major cities in Roman Britain, and the death toll of Romans and Britons who were Roman allies has reached 70,000.

In this era and in this land, this death toll is already extremely shocking.

Shocking, right? In most people's minds, Boudica is the one who has been in the kitchen of Chaldea, preparing delicious food for the children, caring about your physical condition, and singing lullabies to the children. A sister or even a mother figure.

But don’t forget that even after becoming a heroic spirit, Boudica still did not let go of her hatred for Rome, and she always had the idea in her heart that one day she would make Rome pay the price. However, under the premise of the destruction of the world, saving the world was the first priority. Please do not underestimate the anger in the heart of a mother whose country has been destroyed and her family has been destroyed, and her children have been defiled.

Boudicca was no saint.

Neither is Lucy.

When receiving this battle report, Lucy also had unspeakable anger in her heart. On the one hand, she was disgusted and angry at the indiscriminate killing of Boudica's army, and on the other hand, she was angry at the chief executive who managed this area. Anger, no hatred has no source, the people of Britannia will use such means to retaliate...

This shows that the life of the Britannians should be like this. Since Nero became the emperor, he has been constantly suppressing the power of the nobles to ensure the interests of the common people. Logically speaking, as a Roman territory, The situation of the Britannians should only be greatly improved.

It’s true that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and monkeys rule the roost. For those bastards, just throwing them into the hot gold and killing them is simply too cheap for them. These guys should be locked up in the copper bull and burned alive with flames. They would suffocate to death, or use the dagger in their hands to cut off their flesh bit by bit.

At the same time, some people were executed in the capital of Rome, and some were executed in Britannia. While shocking the nobles, they also appeased Britannia.

But it's too late to say all this now. The current situation is not something that you can just stop talking about if you want to ease it and resolve it.

This time, all the troops in the uprising must be annihilated. As the leader, Boudica must die in order to calm down the whole thing. Otherwise, the resentful Romans will definitely reject this area even more, and they must also use their blood to suppress the whole thing. The flame of resistance was completely extinguished, everything was for the sake of the overall situation!

Looking at the report given to him by the general here, Lu Xi showed a faint smile on his face. Very good, the food reserves of the three fortresses have been burned without any way to transfer them. In this way, the rebel army will There is no way to get this food. As their troops grow stronger, there will inevitably be food shortages.

Although Rome lost food from three fortresses, don't forget that there was a huge empire behind the Roman army. Enough food was obtained from the huge empire for the army to use, and even for the fortresses to be rebuilt in the future. Warehousing is not a difficult task.

The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. Although the food for the three fortresses is a huge loss, compared with the longer war, the losses caused are not worth mentioning at all.

It seems that even if he does not bring the Guards here, the outcome of the entire battle has basically been decided. It is nothing more than how many enemies can be left in the decisive battle and whether the enemy leader Budi can be left behind. Card.

Boudica did not expect that the Romans would be so decisive. It could be said that they were forcing her to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible. After all, the longer it took, the worse it would be for her troops.

This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that Rome has paid a high price for, and Boudica has only one way to follow this conspiracy.

Due to the shortage of food and the confusion of the army members, Boudica could only reduce the original army of more than 100,000 to a relatively elite combat force of 50,000, and then moved towards the next fortress to try to defeat the Roman army head-on. Thereby obtaining certain supplies.

On the other side, Luci has communicated with the local military commander. At present, there are only about 10,000 cultural troops left in Britannia. Therefore, although frontal combat can rely on the well-equipped Roman army and Roman methods, formation, but the losses will definitely not be small, so ambush tactics and decoy tactics are necessary.

Luci set his sights on a valley near Boudica's army's advance.

Chapter 244: Ambush

Boudica is leading his 50,000 troops and is constantly moving towards the fourth fortress. Since more than half of the people have been removed, most of the people following him are veterans from the early days of the uprising, and they are still obeying his orders. , but that's just it. It is simply impossible to make them obey her instructions completely, unless she is given more time to train.

The most important thing is that because of the famine in the army, these soldiers who have gathered from all directions have become more difficult to command. As the old saying goes: Food is the most important thing for the people, which is enough to show that food occupies an important role in human life. What a status.

Fundamentally speaking, in this era, food is more important to keep yourself alive.

They rebelled against Rome in order to live a better life, but if they can't even guarantee the most basic life, how can they talk about further goals?

Boudica was also a little irritable in her heart. After all, the current situation seemed stable, but she didn't know how long it could last, especially the Qi army who would be here. Except for a few people, they had not received any good treatment at all. Education, to put it bluntly, is lacking in brains and stupid as hell.

Most people have no way of identifying traps and conspiracies. On the one hand, Boudica's purpose of accelerating the march is to find food as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid any accidents that may happen to his group of soldiers during the process, such as chasing It was obviously a bait situation, stepping into the enemy's trap or something.

"Hey! Everyone! I found a batch of transport trucks from Rome! Without further ado, time waits for no one, let's go and grab those foods!"

Boudica felt that something in his head suddenly collapsed at this moment. He was really afraid of what would come. After burning the food in three fortresses, his troops had fallen into a crisis without supplies. In the event of famine, Roman troops would transport their food carefully to avoid being snatched by themselves.

Therefore, the current appearance of the transport vehicle is most likely a trap, either leading them to the place where the Roman army ambush, or trying to use this possible total amount of food, which may not be much, to cause internal strife in the army.

No matter which outcome, their troops cannot bear it now.

"wait--!!"

Before Boudica could persuade everyone to stop, the hungry troops were attracted by the voices of the previous few people, and then followed the shouting people and ran in the direction of the so-called food and grass. Being pulled, the queen is no longer able to control it now.

From a distance, Lu Xi saw the decoy troops he had arranged to retreat rapidly into the valley, so he raised his hand. The Roman soldiers who were ambushing on the high ground in the valley had prepared their shields. Behind them, Some other soldiers have already picked up their bows and arrows.

The food and grass used as bait had been sent to the interior of the valley path. When Boudica drove the chariot here, he had already seen many of his soldiers rushing into the valley.

Boudica can lead the soldiers to many victories, which has proved that she has a certain degree of military talent. It is impossible for such a queen to fail to see what the valley-like terrain in front of her represents?

Boudica took a deep breath and gave the order to all the soldiers in his loudest voice, "Raise the shield in your hand——!!"

The next moment, arrows fell from above the valley.

Lu Xi looked at the troops that had poured into a third of the valley and raised their hands. The soldiers on the side lit the straw tied into huge stakes and finally pushed it towards the entrance of the valley. The soldiers who were acting as bait were also there. In the valley, he directly set fire to the straw and part of the grain on his vehicle, blocking the entrance and exit of the entire valley.

Another group of soldiers who had already prepared falling rocks and bows and arrows launched a series of attacks on the enemy soldiers who were already in the urn. The stones dropped from high places were enough to kill half of these Britannia soldiers. Life.

Because of Boudica's reminder, some soldiers who always believed in the queen immediately raised their shields and blocked the first round of arrows. However, there were more soldiers because they joined later and the cohesion was strong. The reason for the dispersion was not that they obeyed the Queen's order at the first time. Their minds were already filled with the fact that food was just ahead, so they were directly attacked.

The pain in their bodies, the fallen comrades beside them, and the smell of blood coming from their nostrils made these fanatical Britannian soldiers finally begin to calm down. The smell of burned straw and flesh coming from the valley, These soldiers couldn't help but feel a little colder in their hearts.

How should I put it? At this moment, they who are hungry actually have the urge to rush in and eat meat. Then tell them directly that this sudden feeling does not come from their own inner thoughts, but that there seems to be something there. It was attracting them, like a being from the abyss, like they quietly stretched out their fingers and hooked them gently.

At the height of the valley, Lucy opened his hands, and a touch of corrupted magic was spreading outward from his hands. These magical powers would speak words of depravity and madness to people.

There is no doubt that Luci is now like the beast entrenched under the city of Rome. To be honest, Luci doesn't like to use this power very much, because it keeps reminding him that he is no longer a human being, but the abyss. The devil among them.

However, in order to suppress all judgments earlier and nip all possible dangers in the cradle, Lucy didn't care that her current magic power was like a fallen devil. In fact, at the beginning, Lucy I can still feel that my magic power should be golden, but now my magic power has almost no trace of gold.

Under the influence of magic, even if the soldiers of Britannia still had some sense, they still could not change their physical behavior. They were forbidden to walk in the direction of the burning flames to prepare for the rain of arrows from Rome.

no! This situation cannot be allowed to continue. If this continues, this army will be completely wiped out. The remaining rebels have no way to change the situation. Now they can only place their hope on the Roman army, which is not many in number. You can be flushed away by them!

Boudica thought as she set up the chariot again, pointing the sword blade at the top of the mountain.

Chapter 245: Even if failure is doomed

"Listen to my orders! Charge with me!!"

Boudica understood that the only way to gain a chance of survival was to disperse the Roman army. From the moment they stepped into the trap, the chance of victory was already very low, even if he had five times the strength of the Romans, his own The impact of starvation in the troops and the incomparable laxity without specialized training are unquestionable facts.

Two serious problems that are by no means easily remediable.

Boudicca was even ready to obey his orders and attack the Roman position with only 5,000 soldiers. After all, the cohesion of a scattered army was not enough.

Lucy looked at the chariot with blades, and easily lifted the shield, which was longer than her height. Part of the weight of the shield was perfectly borne by her body through her posture, and would not affect the road. West's running and sprinting.

The golden shield, golden mask, golden hair, and fighting figure like a lion have become the symbol of Lucy.

Son of Glory, Son of Dawn, there is absolutely no exaggeration in the title. Even Boudica couldn't help but be attracted by the figure that looked like sunshine, and was actually a little envious that Rome would have such a warrior.

But even so, I won't back down!

Boudica's eyes began to become firm, and the chariot continued to rush forward. Boudica used this chariot to break through the Roman phalanx and achieved a certain victory, so she still hoped that her chariot would Che can open up a new situation for himself at this moment.

Lucy looked at the rampaging chariot and understood what would happen if the bladed chariot rushed to the top of the mountain. By then, the Roman soldiers who had finally formed a defensive phalanx on the top of the mountain would be scattered. At that time, the remaining Britannians will also take the opportunity to rush forward.

Once the remaining Roman soldiers lose more than one-third, the situation will develop in a completely uncontrollable direction. After all, this is Britannia, the base camp of the rebel army in front of us. If we say that we are not worried about our own food supply at all, In other words, to a certain extent, Boudica is currently not lacking in warriors fighting for Britannia!

It's just a tank!

The shield in Lucy's hand was thrown forward quickly. The powerful force made the entire shield resemble a huge flywheel. Of course, if one could ignore the sharp blades on the periphery of the flywheel and the speed and speed brought about by the powerful force, In terms of destructive power, the entire shield doesn't seem to be that dangerous.

What a ghost! How could the destructive power of this shield be ignored so easily!

Boudica wanted to try to control the chariot and dodge the attacks thrown at her, but she didn't expect that Lucy's speed after throwing away the shield could be far faster than the shield that was constantly flying and rotating in the air, just like a golden streak. The stream of light jumped high again after reaching the position of the shield.

The right foot wearing golden armor kicked forward, causing the rotating shield to lock the position of the chariot again, and at the same time it flew away faster!

monster!

Such a word popped up in Boudica's mind. Being able to chase a flying shield, with such strength and speed, what is it other than a monster? Rome actually has such an existence!

At this moment, even though Boudica has led everyone in many victorious battles and still holds hope in her heart, she still doubts whether she can defeat the monster in front of her. This feeling is like human beings looking up to gods. , is the young warrior in front of me really a human being?

But no matter what, now is not the time to be in a daze!

Boudica quickly jumped to the side of the chariot. The next moment, the golden rotating shield tore apart the horse pulling the chariot. At the same time, even the specially made chariot was torn into two halves. It had not yet arrived. Boudica sighed, and the golden shadow had already arrived in front of her, and its arms like dragon claws were grabbing at her neck.

Boudica immediately raised the golden "Holy Sword" in his hand, and put the blade in front of his neck. At the same time, he mobilized his body's strength as much as possible. The age of the gods on this island has not yet ended, so the body absorbs the energy in the atmosphere. Magic is not a difficult thing at all.

The sword blade glowed with a golden light, as if a miracle responded to Boudica, but unfortunately, this alone was not enough, and it was not enough to resist Luci's attack.

Like flaming claws with red scales, Lucy's fist and blade collided with each other. Boudica felt an irresistible huge force, attacking from the front. It was like a divine punishment, so powerful that it made people feel uncomfortable. Unable to resist, Boudica flew backwards and rolled twice on the ground before getting up with difficulty holding on to her sword.

Looking at the compatriots being slaughtered around him, looking at the flames rising in the valley, the shouts of his subordinates echoed in his ears. The desperate shouts and the roars of resistance were intertwined. The scene of this battle was simply It's like hell, it's all because of Rome!

The resentment and anger in her heart supported Boudica to raise the sword in her hand again. She would not give up, she would fight until the last moment, not as a queen, but as an ordinary ordinary person of angry Britannia. Mother! !

Now that the battle situation has become like this, she has understood that as the Queen of Britain, she has been defeated. Since the remaining troops cannot prevent Rome from taking back those fortresses, she lost the uprising, but as a An ordinary mother of Britannia would definitely avenge her children!

Even if the only outcome is death, she will still bite a piece of meat from these guys!

"Goddess Andrast, give me strength!"

Boudica chose to take the initiative to attack, and all the power in her body exploded at this moment, regardless of any consequences. The magic power seemed to form a golden cloak behind him, and a faint golden crown fell on her head.

This one blow determines the outcome. As long as the Son of Dawn can be defeated in front of him, the morale of the Roman side will definitely be damaged!

This golden magic power is still spreading outward. Not only the queen herself, but also the soldiers of Britannia seem to have broken free from the temptation of the fallen magic power and began to regain their strength and attack the Roman soldiers. Charged.

Even in the blazing flames inside the valley, the warriors who were still able to fight began to climb up the valley. At this moment, Boudica was worthy of the name of the Queen of Victory.

Chapter 246: Now at the bottom of the ancient prison

Overall, the number of these Britannia warriors is still more than double that of the Roman warriors, and this is still an extremely difficult battle.

In ancient wars, it was rare to annihilate all the enemies. Unless the encirclement was completely completed, deserters would begin to appear when the loss rate of an army exceeded one-quarter. When the loss rate exceeded half, the army would It is basically considered a defeat, unless they are elite soldiers who have received special training or have firm beliefs.

It turns out that most of the 10,000 Roman soldiers defending here are not in the above two situations. Even the bloody methods Boudica and the others did in the fortress did leave a psychological shadow on them.

Therefore, it is not unacceptable and unimaginable that the Roman soldiers defending here will desert when the time comes, and the same is true for Boudica's army.

If it weren't for the golden light, which stabilized these soldiers with the certainty and comfort of victory, it would have been a certainty that the entire Britannia legion would be defeated and annihilated at this moment.

Now it seems that perhaps Boudica's heart has really been echoed by the goddess.

Lucy temporarily stopped his forward attack, sighed, and frowned. From this point of view, these Britannia soldiers are determined to fight to the death. Although he can inspire the troops, he has nothing to do with the gift of the gods. Fu is still a bit weak compared to others, and there is no way to fundamentally change this situation.

After all, there is no way for me to strengthen the faith in the hearts of the Roman soldiers. If I want to strengthen the faith in the hearts of the soldiers, then my leadership must reach level A, which is beyond the limits of normal humans, or I must have special skills.

To a certain extent, I can have such high leadership ability because of my appearance. After all, no matter what era, people still have a certain beauty in their nature.

If you fully release the principles of depravity you possess, you may be able to create a similar situation. At that time, everyone will obey your command because of the desire and depravity in their hearts, but in that case, you will have nothing to do with that beast. There's a difference, not to mention that I can use magic power to influence everyone, but there is no way to take back the magic power that affects them.

If he didn't intend to annihilate the rebels in Britannia, Lucy wouldn't use his magic power to influence these enemies.

Originally, according to his plan, it was enough to solve all the battles now, but he didn't expect Boudica to be able to create such a miracle. Wasn't this forcing him to use the power that had been contaminated and changed? That damn beast must have predicted this day since the first time he saw me as a child...

I really realized that if I relied solely on my own strength, I would not be able to annihilate all the troops in front of me at once. After all, I could not summon a blizzard that could freeze everything and trap the enemy to death in the snow like a certain wolf king. In the world, there is no divine sword that can open up eight mountains, eight rivers and eight valleys.

All he has is the magic power changed by a certain beast, and the ability of a certain beast that can be used because of the change in his body.

That's all...just think of it as doing it for Rome, for the sake of these soldiers who still need to go home.

Boudica was still a little confused as to why the young man in front of him, known as the Son of Dawn, suddenly stopped attacking. Unexpectedly, after a moment, the young man put the shield aside, then moved his hands forward and waved. A magical power that makes people feel fear from the heart is bred between his hands.

We must stop this young man in front of us!

I don't know why Boudica made such a cry in her heart. What the young man is about to give birth to is definitely not something that humans can create. What he wants to awaken is definitely not something that ordinary humans can resist. It is also something that humans must defeat. thing!

Boudica held the sword that exuded golden light in her hand and sprinted forward. The golden blade collided with the gestating black and red magic power, but the golden magic power didn't seem to be enough to touch Lucy. itself.
