Chapter 1192 African Adventure
In Africa, Rome did not actually have actual control, but rather had remote control by its garrisons.
This involves the past of Caesar, Octavian and others, and this place is a granary near the Mediterranean.
Therefore, in order to control this area, Rome stationed about 100,000 citizen legions here all year round, plus the former 30th Eagle Legion.
This configuration is enough to deal with not only the beast tide, but also the weak ones.
However, after the 30th Invincible Legion and the Second Trajan Legion merged, the 30th Invincible Trajan Legion left the area and guarded the city of Rome near the city.
The legions that replaced the Undefeated Legion were the newly promoted Pride Legion and Lust Legion, who were originally transferred from here to fight the church believers.
Now that they have been transferred back to garrison, the original soldiers of the 30th Legion have no objections.
After all, this region involves not only honor but also real interests.
This place is one of the important grain-producing areas of the Roman Empire, otherwise Rome would not have gone to so much trouble for this area.
"Report, Commander, a large number of unidentified soldiers were spotted approaching the Nome area in the middle of Linhai by boat. They seem to be planning to build temporary defense facilities at the place where they are waiting for the boat!"
"Are there still idiots like this who discover the New World these days?" The arrogant legion commander Robs was a little surprised. You know, after the world map spread, there are very few such people.
Before this, there were many guys who traveled by boat from other regions, thinking they had discovered a new continent and planned to rule the country.
Then they were severely beaten by the Roman Empire garrison and captured and forced to work as slaves.
"Take a team of 100 people with you and take care of those gnomes. If they are valuable, capture them and bring them back. If they are not valuable, just kill them. The beasts have been restless recently and we don't have the energy to manage the slaves."
Robs didn't even consider whether he could win or not. They had never encountered an opponent on this continent.
This is also the origin of his arrogance. Although he was nicknamed Lucifer, after the real Lucifer was born, few people called him that anymore.
But even so, he is indeed very similar to Lucifer, both of whom are confident to the point of arrogance.
"What the hell is this place?"
Cu Chulainn was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. He was knocked unconscious by Shaka and thrown onto the boat. When he woke up, they had already arrived in Africa.
They were supposed to land on the border of the former AKS Kingdom, but due to attacks by sea beasts and some inexplicable storms, they successfully landed in the coastal area of central Africa.
But when he got ashore, Cu Chulainn looked at the desolate Africa and fell into deep thought.
We said we would bring people to Rome, but here is no one?
There were many reasons why he didn't want to come here. It wasn't because he was afraid of war, but because he was busy training his own knights and preparing for a head-on war with Rome, but he was ended up being left on the African continent.
What kind of good opponent could there be in such a desolate place where no one lives? He had no interest in fighting trash.
"It should be in the central region of Africa. Rome should be to our north!"
Xun Wei, who came from the Xun family, a noble family of the Han Dynasty, casually explained that he was the son of Xun Shuang and was of the same generation as Xun Yu.
He had been trying to stay in the Han Dynasty, but in the end he could not withstand Xun Shuang's accountability and chose to leave the Central Plains and go to Great Britain to open a branch of the Xun family.
Although Cu Chulainn was the nominal commander in this operation, it was Xun Wei who was actually responsible for planning the operation.
"Captain, something is wrong." The deputy commander of the Red Branch Knights discovered that the situation was not good after landing.
It wasn't that he discovered anything, but because their login was so smooth, so smooth that he began to doubt his life.
You know, they followed Cu Chulainn out, and considering Cu Chulainn's luck, it was simply a fantasy that they were attacked before they even got ashore.
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? We are here to kill any opponent."
"I'll kill you to watch... burp..." said the bearded Maxijo wearing a horned helmet, laughing and burping.
These drunkards from the Slavic people are really terrifying in battle, but their bad habit of drinking cannot be corrected no matter what.
Xun Wei originally wanted to make friends over wine, but after three days of drinking in Great Britain, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and just lay down.
The wine they drank was made from the bones of various world-breaking beasts, and it was based on the same principle as tiger bone wine. Even if they all had internal energy, they would still be intoxicated by the wine.
But Maxi Qiao had been drinking for three days and still wanted to force him to drink. He was really a coward and kept avoiding this guy Maxi Qiao. Unfortunately, they were assigned to the same trip this time.
"Don't worry, we are just the vanguard. There will be reinforcements behind us. Let's just establish a stronghold here!"
Just as the three were discussing what to do, they suddenly became alert, and they all felt a sense of malice at the same time.
This is a blessing bestowed upon them by the fairies in the Fairy Lake. When someone targets them, they will sense it.
"Prepare for battle. We are going to take their heads and fill our stomachs in that pure land!"
Not far from Cu Chulainn and his men, a muscular man in matte black, wearing a genuine leather jacket and a lion skin skirt around his waist, carried a spear and roared at the warriors in the tribe.
“Ooooooh!”
The muscular man in matte black is the gnome of this area, which is the original administrative system of Egypt. After it was annexed by Rome, this system was not abolished. It can be said that the gnome is at the same level as the county magistrate or the county governor.
As for the status, it depends on the size of the tribe.
The pure land they were talking about was where the Romans were stationed. That place was Rome's granary and naturally a paradise. Any wild beasts that approached would be beaten to death by the citizen legion and turned into jerky.
These days, this gnome discovered that the beast tide seemed to be restless again, and was worrying about it, when he met Cu Chulainn and his men.
According to the decree issued by Rome, those who kill enemies of unknown origin can obtain the right to reside in the Pure Land. At that time, they will be incorporated into the vassal army, but at least their chances of surviving the beast tide will be greatly increased.
"Kill!" Matte Black confidently led more than 2,000 charcoal heads, holding simple wooden shields and Roman spears, and rushed towards Cu Chulainn and his men.
"Huo, it's quite dark. Among the more than 2,000 people, more than a hundred of them have achieved internal energy. Almost everyone has internal energy, and the leader is a... boundary-breaking one?"
Cu Chulainn was startled when he saw the black men rushing towards him, but he quickly realized that these people were local natives, and their average strength was surprisingly amazing.
"But their formation..." Xun Wei raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.
It's a bit embarrassing to call them miscellaneous soldiers. At best, they are thugs. Although their average strength is good, they give people the feeling that they will break at the slightest touch.
"Hahaha, brothers, follow me!"
Maxijo didn't feel anything. He took a big gulp of liquor, picked up an axe as big as a wheel, and rushed towards these guys.
"Hurrah!"
"Ooooooooooooooooo!"
The clash between the Slavic Heavy Axe Legion and the tribal soldiers decided the outcome in an instant.
Under the clouds, Nei Qi Cheng Gang's strength was suppressed. Facing the Slavic soldiers at the level of the Royal Guards, he had no advantage at all. Moreover, due to the difference in equipment and coordination, he was severely hacked to death.
In the end, even the matte black chief couldn't escape, as he was stabbed through the heart by Cu Chulainn's piercing spear.
"Why is this guy's strength so strange?" Cu Chulainn pulled his spear from the chief, a little confused.
It was clearly a realm-breaking creature, and it seemed like it was a refined realm-breaking creature. Logically speaking, it should have extremely strong vitality, but it died with just one shot. Isn't that a bit strange?
"It should be some kind of evil breakthrough. I didn't expect that there is such a secret hidden in the African continent. It seems that Rome has hidden a lot of things."
"Hahaha, whatever Rome is hiding, chop them all up!"
Maxijo laughed loudly and gulped down another gulp of liquor. The weather here was so hot that it was unbearable without drinking.
"My intuition tells me that big trouble is coming!" Deputy Captain Skular of Akagi felt overwhelmed.
"You are a crow's mouth. Good things don't work, but bad things do!" Cu Chulainn looked at the black line appearing on the horizon and could not help but scold his deputy captain.
Skular couldn't help but look at him as if he was mentally retarded. Where do you think my intuition comes from? It's just because of your bad luck.
"Run!" Skular shouted, and then he ran away.
The others hurriedly followed. There were so many ferocious beasts, what could they do?
"Didn't the old woman say it should be safe?" Cu Chulainn shouted angrily at Scyral as he ran.
"Why are there so many beasts coming up? There must be hundreds of thousands of them, right? And the auras of these beasts are even stronger than those of the ordinary soldiers!"
Hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers were pressing down, and Cu Chulainn had only 8,000 men in total. It was not impossible to fight back, but seeing the endless ferocious beasts, this group of people ran away without saying a word. After all, they didn't even know the situation now, so they weren't afraid of a bloody fight, right?
Even if they are all the Royal Guards, they would not consume their energy in this way. Moreover, the high-quality black people who appeared before made them deeply wary of these ferocious beasts.
What if there are a lot of ferocious beasts with their internal energy separated from their bodies? By then, we will be unable to stop them.
There were birds in the sky, so they had no choice but to abandon their boats and start running for their lives.
"Retreat first. This is not the time to say this. There is something wrong with these ferocious beasts." Xun Wei's face was gloomy.
He had a hunch that this might be related to the Han Dynasty's aristocratic family.
But he didn't hear any news before, which didn't mean that everything was fine, it meant that something serious was happening.
If even someone of his status couldn't get wind of the news, it basically means that this thing is a sinkhole.
"Nonsense, even a fool knows there's something wrong here. It's not like I haven't seen groups of ferocious beasts. Even the best-organized wolf packs haven't had their clouds reach this level." Cu Chulainn cursed as he ran.
"Besides, look at the types of beasts there are. They are completely cross-species. I saw lions, zebras, elephants, rhinos... It's crazy that these things can coexist peacefully!"
"That means they have a common leader!" Xun Wei's words frightened Maxi Qiao sobering up from his drunkenness.
"You mean they evolved?" Cu Chulainn asked in disbelief.
"Could it be related to the orcs in America? They are all beasts. Can they control these ferocious beasts?" Maxijo used his little brain and came up with a hypothesis.
"Haha, what a funny joke, don't tell it next time!" Cu Chulainn rolled his eyes. What kind of magical reasoning logic is this?
"No, what Maxijo said is possible. God knows what the relationship between the Kushans and these guys is!" Xun Wei, on the contrary, thought there was such a possibility.
"How long do we have to run?" Cu Chulainn didn't want to dwell on these issues anymore. He looked at the persistent tide of beasts behind him and asked with some annoyance.
"Run towards Rome. I would rather die than let my friends die. There must be local tribes over there. Let's wait for them to fight and then run away!" Xun Wei directly shifted the blame to others.
The plan went smoothly, and the impact of their beast tide directly attracted the attention of two large tribes.
Xun Wei and his men ran too fast and slipped away.
When being chased by a wild beast, you don't need to run faster than the beast, just run a little faster than the other unlucky guy.
"Why do I feel like there's another big pit ahead?"
After changing the direction of marching, Skular said subconsciously that he had a premonition that there would be trouble ahead.
As a result, they had not walked more than thirty miles when a huge army rushed towards them.
In other words, they ran into this army , and the other side was heading in this direction to deal with the beast tide.
"Shut up, you crow's mouth, we are in big trouble now!" Cu Chulainn looked ugly. It was easy to get rid of the beast tide, but this thing was not easy to get rid of.
From a distance, it seemed that the enemy had cavalry. If we got caught up with them, we might be chased to death forever.
"Turn back and kill our way through the beast tide!" Xun Wei once again demonstrated his decisiveness and turned his troops around.
Facing hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers and a small number of ferocious beasts under the clouds, it is better than directly confronting the enemy's army. It seems that there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people on the opposite side.
The leading legion is still flying the eagle flag. If a fight breaks out, they will probably suffer heavy losses. The most important thing is that this is someone else's territory.
If a fight really breaks out, the other side will have support at any time, and their support will take at least ten days or half a month, by which time it may be too late.
"Run, run, run! Damn, what sin have I committed!" Cu Chulainn cursed.
His knights were cavalry, but for transportation reasons, Scathach simply unloaded the horses and stuffed Mesquite in instead.
There are plenty of wild beasts in Africa anyway, so let Cu Chulainn catch his own mount.
He also said that this was a test for him, and now all he wanted to do was curse.
