Chapter 145: Storming the City of Rome (End)

Rome collapsed on the embankment, and even if Cassius wanted to fight to the death, he was wrapped in a battle with the defeated soldiers and ran into the city. However, as a general of the defending army, his outfit was too conspicuous and was soon intercepted by the soldiers rushing towards the mountain.

Terentus roared, and the dagger in his right hand easily pierced the chest of Cassius, who had no fighting spirit.

When he fell, Cassius always believed that the city of Rome had fallen, and these enemies came from other cities, and he held on to the end.

He never expected that these enemies would always be hidden underground not far from them...

The soldiers of the Third Legion who rushed over the bridge and rushed to the embankment soon met with the mountain reconnaissance brigade, chased the fleeing defeated soldiers, and rushed into the Roman city...

…………………………………

In the eastern section of the southern wall, while Kylkus' mixed troops intercepted the reinforcements of Great Sipio, another part of the soldiers rushed to the city wall through the stone stairs, causing chaos in the city. The soldiers of the Sixth Army who were sieging the city on the front also took the opportunity to go to the city.

At this time, 500 subsequent troops who climbed up to the southeast corner of the city wall through rope hooks arrived, bypassing the frontal battle and attacking the flanks of the Great Scipio reinforcements.

The Roman reinforcements were soon defeated, and this defeat completely lost the fighting spirit of the defenders on the city, and they began to escape.

Since the city on the east side had been cut off by Kelkus' troops, they could only flee westward, which naturally affected the defenders of Scipio. They were already struggling to support it, because after the Second Legion of Dionia was reinforced by the troops of Tolmede and Epigenis, they also gave up their resistance and prepared to escape.

However, the soldiers of the Dionian who had once reached the city heading through the siege tower but were blocked by them in the aisle became the blocking stone for them to escape westward, and the stone stairs of the lower city were blocked by the enemies under the city. The Roman soldiers who were in a panic actually jumped down from the city head more than ten meters high...

However, when Scipio saw that the situation was not good, he chose a way out early. At this moment, surrounded by guards, he fled to the Roman Forum.

……………………………………

In the southwest corner of the city wall, another section of the city wall was collapsed, and the soldiers of the Fifth Legion lined up in neat formations and passed through the gap in an order.

The Roman soldiers responsible for intercepting under the city suddenly felt the pressure doubled. Just as their spear gun array was oppressed by the attack of the Dionian soldiers and kept retreating, news came from urgently: the defense line on the south wall had been completely broken!

Seeing that the situation of the battle was irreversible, Musia had no choice but to withdraw, because if the battle continued, the enemy who rushed into the city to the east attacked west, and it would be easy to completely encircle his troops in the southwest corner.

……………………………………

With the west, south and north sides of the city of Rome being broken, only the defenders in the northeast were still defending, because behind them were the Roman holy land, Capitolin Mountain.

At this moment, Amintas was extremely anxious. When the detective reported to him that more than 1,000 Roman reinforcements were approaching the camp from the east, he actually replied angrily: "When the enemy breaks through the camp, come and report to me!"

For a moment, the followers around him were silent.

Only Printolins said, "Legion Commander, look, our soldiers have attacked the city!"

"It's not that I haven't attacked before, I'll be driven down!" Amintas said in a fury.

"But the defenders on the city are already in chaos!" The careful Printols stared forward and said in a deep voice.

The defenders at the top of the city were indeed in chaos, because the Roman Bridge and the embankment were not far from Capitolin Mountain. Most of the defeated soldiers in the north ran towards the square close to Capitolin Mountain. The soldiers of the Third Legion followed closely and rushed into the Roman Forum.

At this time, there were wounded soldiers who were in urgent need of rescue, people with their families, and teams carrying food... The entire square was crowded, and they all fled towards Capitolin Mountain in panic.

The soldiers of the Third Legion rushed into the sea of ​​people like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and immediately disrupted the square and cried loudly.

The defenders at the northeastern city head turned around and could see the black helmet not far from the city. The black armored enemy cut off the path to Capitolin Mountain, and then chased the people in scattered and fled like driving cattle and sheep. They were worried that the defenders of their families would have no intention of fighting again, so they turned around and fled...

…………………………………

Good news came one after another, and cheers were always heard in the tent of the Central Military Camp.

But Davers quietly walked out of the tent, looked at the city in the distance, and was stunned: the military flag of Dionia had already fluttered there, and the crying sounds from the city could be vaguely heard.

"Your Majesty, we have taken this big city, but you don't seem to be too happy." Henipolis came to him and said in a relaxed tone. Only he could speak to Davers in such a tone.

"Of course I'm very happy." Davers said lightly. This was not a lie. The stones that had been pressing on his chest were shattered. His spirit was inexplicably relaxed, but he still tried his best to suppress this excitement: "But it is not the time to celebrate victory. There are 70,000 Roman troops outside the city, rushing towards us."

"Their homes have been occupied. Do they still have the heart to fight us?" Heniporis was quite dissatisfied.

"Herney, do your best at all times in the war, and don't be lucky." Davers said seriously.

"Thank you, your majesty, I have recorded this sentence." Heniporis really picked up the board and started recording.

Davers smiled helplessly and turned his head to ask Asinarus beside him: "Have Epitianis and Thormid already led their troops?"

"Your Majesty, they have set out for about... ten minutes." As a staff officer, the most important thing is that the data mentioned should be as accurate as possible rather than vague. So Asinarus ran back to the big tent, looked at the funnel timer before rushing back to give an answer.

After receiving the news that the city was broken, Davers immediately ordered: Epitianis led 1,500 soldiers and 200 cavalry to the east to assist the intercepted troops and defeat the reinforcements from Rome.

Then he ordered: Thormid to lead 2,000 soldiers to take a boat from the river port to the other side, and to the side of the Roman reinforcements coming from the north, and to encircle and annihilate them.

Davers nodded and asked with concern: "Have the medical battalion started to rescue the wounded soldiers under the city?"

"Yes, your Majesty."

Davers looked up at the sky and said, "Notify the baggage camps of each camp, pull out the camps, load supplies, and prepare to enter the city."

"yes!"

……………………………………………

Two hours later, it was approaching dusk, and the fighting and crying in the city had subsided. The soldiers of the Dionian soldiers cleaned up the stones and dust in the Cirio gate hole opposite the Roman Forum, then opened the city gates and lined the roads to welcome their commander, King Dionian, into the city of Rome.

Amid the powerful military horns, Davers, surrounded by the palace guards, led all his followers into the city of Rome, which of course caused doubts among the soldiers.

"Why doesn't His Majesty Davers ride a horse?"

"…How do I know this? Maybe it's because the streets here are too narrow and not convenient to ride?"

"Don't guess, Commander of the Martonis Legion said just now, His Majesty said, 'Because we fought hard and fought hard, it is disrespectful to us to ride a horse into the city!'"

"Your Majesty is so good to our soldiers!"

"Quick! Hurry! Don't talk!"

As soon as Davers walked towards them on the roadside, the soldiers who were talking immediately became nervous.

Davers walked up to one of the team officials and asked in a gentle tone: "What's your name?"

Before the team officer could answer, Matonis, who was following Davers, immediately said: "Your Majesty, he is the captain of the fifth team of the fourth team of the 3rd Battalion of the Second Legion, named Temoses Pace, a Castroon. This time he was very brave in siege and led the soldiers to attack the top of the city!" Matonis praised, but stared at him with a look of "I'll settle the score with you later."

"You can tell you are a hero!" Davers praised.

Tymoses Pais straightened his chest immediately.

Davers pointed at his right hand holding a dagger and pressed it against his side, and asked, "Are you injured?"

"Your Majesty...a little injury... has been healed." Tymoses Pace subconsciously moved his right hand behind him.

Martonis immediately stepped forward and pulled his right hand up. He saw a sword wound scratching from his arm to his forearm. His skin turned outward, revealing scarlet muscles. Although he had stopped bleeding, such a long and ferocious wound still made people feel heartbreaking.

"Why don't you go to the medical camp to bandage?!——"

Davers stopped Matonis from continuing to scold, and then said to Temoses earnestly: "The military law of our kingdom requires bravery in battle, and you must protect yourself after the battle. Do you know why? Because only in this way can you continue to fight with a healthy body and continue to make meritorious contributions. You have received rewards for your military merits, but it is best to enjoy this reward yourself after the war. We are fighting far away from our homes now, and you need to take good care of your own bodies! Hurry up and go to the medical camp to find a doctor for treatment. There will be more intense battles waiting for us next. Warriors like you need to win the kingdom again!"
