Chapter 62 - Surprise attack of the Caribs



With the weakening of the troops stationed on the Romulo wall and the withdrawal of the Gamma legion due to the great war for the construction of the southern wall that will divide the area known as the abyss of the jungle and the civilized world.

The troops commanded by shamans from the Caribs began their counterattack, began to gather their people first by visiting the mountains and then following the path until they gathered an army of more than 200,000 men, They travel tribe by tribe from the south to the north to make a great army that according to them could destroy the white invader.

This large army built from nowhere accounts for more than 90% of the Caribbean fighters throughout the Insulae Canibalium (Cuba), this great effort was sponsored by the god of the Caribs Amalivaca.

Taking advantage of the fact that the troops of the white invader and the traitors find themselves fighting with him with the great abyss, he induced his people to initiate a large-scale attack to completely expel them from their lands, beginning to destroy the great wall and then recovering the island.

The wall guard was composed of just 10,000 elements perfectly prepared to withstand any kind of attack on the wall, in the towers are bastions with gunpowder and cannons to resist any kind of attack while the conventional wall has small holes where they protrude ballists

Hellena wanted to help her husband fight the threat of the jungle but on Flavio’s orders she was evacuated to the city of Magna Caribe with Julia and Flavio’s sisters, crying said goodbye to Flavio on the pier but knew that it was necessary because staying alone would be a burden for her husband

Therefore he took his small children and accompanied his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law withdrew from Origin Civitatem on a ship, to reach the province of Insulae Canibalium where she would take care of the defense in case the Caribs wanted to fight back.

It was not until the morning of a cloudy day where explorers from the walls could see hundreds or thousands of Caribs approaching with shouts, quickly followed the protocol and began to ring The bells with this alert the bases began to quickly send requests for reinforcements, to the city.

Hellena was drinking chocolate in the morning with her family, when two centurions in charge of the defense of the city arrived, to report on the emergency that existed with the Caribs.

Julia looked dismayed at the centurion and then at her sister-in-law "We can’t stand idly Hellena we have to fight"

Smiling with a malevolent smile Hellena walked to the window where she could see the city alive "Flavio is fighting with threats in the south, it is fair that I peeled with threats in the north, his audacity to attack the empire we have built for our children and offspring will be paid with blood.

Centurion of the curfew order and start bringing troops we will fight on the walls, also bring my armor I will take care of that garbage eats people "

A red aura began to emerge from Hellena’s body, many years ago she had no desire to kill so largely.

Before leaving the city and heading towards the wall, he gave the order to the navy that both the east and west sides will be positioned on both sides of the walls and that when they received their order they will open fire on the coast, if only 16 kilometers long its cannons could kill how much the Caribbean approached the wall and was in its range of fire.

Hellena and Julia set off with their Praetorian guard about 1000 soldiers trained to kill behind them and more than 5000 guards and some volunteers.

The road was quite fast thanks to the fact that the roads were built with asphalt, while they continued advancing they could realize that the small towns that were created on the road were without settlers as they went to fight against the Caribs.

On the wall the situation was critical even though there was a pit with water, the Caribs launched themselves on suicide missions filling it with stones or earth, unlike what the Cantabrians once were, the Caribs do not have so much technology in their hands so they use a more direct way for getting inside the wall

The crossbows did not stop firing the Caribs fell dead but while they killed one another he left and stepping on the corpse of his companion continued on his way.

When Hellena and Julia arrived at the central Gate of the Romulus wall, they found a large number of wounded or killed by arrows and spears of stone and bone, due to a large number of attackers it is normal for some arrow or spear to slip through armor and damage its occupant

Julia decided to stay in the hospital to take care of the wounded and give comfort to the troops, because being the mother of Emperor Flavio he has great respect and high esteem, his words are simple but raise the morale of the troops.

Meanwhile, Hellena went to the wall to see in the front row how serious the situation was, the Praetorians went ahead of the empress to suppress any potential attack on her.

When Hellena saw the horde that seemed to have no end to the Caribs, she could only sigh, there is a lot of garbage to be removed.

She took her personal carbine and occupied an elevated position in one of the towers of the gate, took a deep breath and opened fire, his weapon only left death, each shot was a Caribbean less.

If anyone could see Hellena, she would realize that her face had a big smile, for her there was nothing more pleasant than killing this cannibal filth, who dared to attack when the empire was facing its worst crisis, for them, there was only death ...
