Nova Roma

The island of youth has 2400 square kilometers and a mostly flat surface which makes it perfect for Flavio to prove how powerful cavalry is for this he began to prepare more than 1500 horsemen who were light cavalry, their armament was cotton clothes with a metal armor and a Stahlhelm helmet, while his weapons were a spear and a saber.

Also prepared to the heavy cavalry unlike light cavalry this will be responsible for being the spearhead on the attacks that will be made on the island of youth against the tribes that inhabit the island, are more than 500 cavalry soldiers heavy

Its armament is composed of a complete suite of steel plates and its horses also has steel plates for its defense, have a spear as a weapon for the attack at medium distance and a club for short distances, one of the advantages of heavy cavalry about the natives is that no weapon of them can cross them.

Flavio had to prepare a landing in the western part that adjoins with Magna caribe, before starting a hunting race of natives on the island of youth has to found a fortress capable of housing the horses and be a point of refueling for troops.

In just a few days landed 5000 soldiers who were responsible for creating a fortress on the coast, during the period of two months there was no attack by the Caribs so the fortress was over once finished more than 4000 horses came to strength.

When Flavio looked at the horses in the fortress he decided to name the island "Equorum insula" (Horse Island).

"Sir the troops are ready for the first confrontation the scouts have discovered some tribes northeast of here, they seem to have a concentration of a few thousand but their power is still as low as their counterparts in Insulae Canibalium" Amancio mentioned while showing the report to his General and Emperor Flavius

Flavio took the report while smoking his pipe "Very well these behaviors are not normal it seems that they are meeting to give a big blow, it hurts that for them the cavalry is the king, if the Romans could not with Atila much less the Caribs with his weapons of stone and bone "He smiled and placed the report on the table

"Let the troops prepare attack at noon, also orders snipers from the inquisition where there are Caribs there are shamans and where there are shamans there are problems" Flavio got up from his chair and took his weapons to leave the fort.

Outside he could see male and female soldiers moving large quantities of merchandise, some dwarves checking the armament of troops and sergeants who were beginning to call their squads.

He walked towards the podium of the fort where he gave a strong message to his troops

"Soldiers today will be remembered as the beginning of the conquest of Equorum insula, are the cavalry of the empire are the elite force on the elite, do not be trusted by the appearances of the Caribs is to kill or die

Our mission is to kill and then ask this island will be the capital of the province of Insulae Canibalium and an important point for the breeding of horses, so do not hesitate to attack as the Caribs will not hesitate when they devour your body, Roma Invicta "

"Roma Invicta" The soldiers shouted at the base.

After this the troops were placed ready to start the battle, Flavio dressed in full steel armor got on his black horse, breathed and with a movement of his back, the attack began.

Because the horses could not stand to run great distances with a large amount of weight heavy cavalry had 2 horses each one to move before reaching the battle and another for the battle, the route was only about 60 km once arriving at the town, took a break so that the horses could be fresh for the attack.

After two hours of rest, the heavy cavalry led by Flavio attacked the town.

Wayak was a shaman of the island of youth was summoned by a shaman superior Mohan it seems that the island has been divided into 3 zones each with its respective leader Mohan, this is a measure taken to prevent the white invaders from attacking us tribe by tribe.

We currently have more than 15,000 warriors in our area and 10,000 women and children I can not believe that the white man attacks us while we are all together, then a tremor started to be felt when I turned my head I could see in the distance a horde of monsters with skin sparkly.

I knew they were coming to attack us so I asked my blessing to the supreme god Amalivaca, I could feel how his light surrounded my body and gave me the energy to fight with these monsters with shiny skin and 4 legs.

They came before the first troops with their spears and killed the warriors who bravely used their bows and arrows of bones against them but their skin was too hard and they could not penetrate.

The Mohan became his spiritual being which was a shark, when he was about to face the monsters on all fours he was overwhelmed by them, he did not have time to defend himself, this surprised me but I did not have time to avoid it like the Mohan only felt something pierce my chest before being overwhelmed by these beasts and my vision turned black "At last I’ll meet the creator"

Flavio was glad when with his cavalry he had killed the shamans without giving them a chance to even counterattack no matter how strong the weight of the horses combined with the speed of travel is certain death.

When the shamans died the chaos invades the Caribs but the light cavalry is in charge of killing them or catching them. There is no mercy against these cannibals, in only one hour of battle the dead of the Caribs were 9500 and more than 5000 wounded, the women and Carib children were captured, children, as cites the laws of the empire, will be sent to orphanages while women will be enslaved along with the males.

At the meeting point, Flavio found some valuable things such as marble statuettes. "If they have marble statuettes, I think there must be a marble mine, that’s good because this island could be used by the empire as the construction company. statues and protective monoliths for the region "...
