As time passed, the weather gradually eased, and the patience between the two parties began to wear out.

A big battle is about to break out... (To be continued.)

[Text 430 Chapter [-] During the Battle of Hadrian’s Great Wall]

Roman Empire, British Province. "W. 』⒉

Hadrian's Wall.

This majestic Great Wall starts from the mouth of the Tyne River on the east coast to the Solway Bay on the west coast, across the neck of the British Isle, like an iron hand firmly holding the throat of the British province of the Roman Empire. It is more than ten feet high, and its total length exceeds a hundred miles.

Although this Great Wall is far less majestic than the Great Wall in the Central Plains, it is still an extraordinary building in this era.

It was a fortress that defended the northwestern frontier of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire has risen for hundreds of years, and it is also a giant empire with profound historical background.

Even without counting the republic system of the previous hundreds of years.

Since Octavian Augustus seized the power of Rome, forced the elders to give up their power, and reformed the head of state system, the Roman Empire era began, and it has a history of more than 200 years.

In the past 200 years, the land of Western Europe has not been peaceful, and countless wars have been staged every day.

If the Han Dynasty played an East Asian orthodoxy in the Central Plains.

The Roman Empire also produced a Western European overlord here.

The Roman Empire gained its orthodox position in Western Europe after hundreds of years of wars between the South and the North. However, there are actually many non-Roman tribal forces on the land of Western Europe, which are collectively called barbarians by the Romans.

The so-called barbarians are actually a collective term for many minority tribes, such as Scots, Pelts, Sarmatians, Franks, Angles... There are many races, but for the Roman Empire, most of them are Point to the Celts and Germans.

Before the Eastern Wu army invaded the empire, the major tribes of the barbarians were the confidants of the Roman Empire in all dynasties.

Over the years, most of the battles broke out because of the barbarian invasion.

The British province has always been the northwest battlefield of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire fought for years and conquered many barbarian tribes, but they also had the same helplessness as the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

Therefore, they also built a Great Wall system of imperial defense in their own frontier to prevent barbarian invasion.

This set of defense system is composed of three Great Walls.

The three Great Walls are the Germanic Great Wall, the Antonine Great Wall, and the Hadrian Great Wall.

Hadrian's Wall is the front line of defense against the barbarians in the British province.

This is a majestic Great Wall built by the former Roman Emperor Hadrian during his reign.

Hadrian was a good emperor of the Roman Empire.

When he was in power, the Roman Empire had already begun to stabilize the expanded territory after a hundred years of expansion wars, just in need of a period of recuperation, and in order to allow the Roman Empire to stabilize this period of cultivation, he ordered the construction of the Hadrian's Wall.

Consuming countless treasuries, it was mainly composed of three Roman legionaries and recruited millions of British barbarians to surrender troops. It took more than six years to complete.

Since the completion of this Great Wall, the northwestern border of the Roman Empire has become stable, which can be regarded as completely stabilizing the order of the British province.

This Great Wall has been built for nearly a hundred years. It is the northwest gateway of the Roman Empire. It has been guarding the frontiers of the Roman Empire and defending the Celts and Germans in Northern Europe. Even when the Roman Empire entered the weakest civil war, the Nordic barbarians did not It can break through the Great Wall and enter the northwestern Gaul province of the empire.

The defensive structures of Hadrian's Wall include walls, crenels, watchtowers, forts, inner cities and castles.

The main castle is located in the center of the Great Wall, on the north bank of the Tyne River, relying on the strongest Great Wall in front and backwater behind, it is a command center of the Gallic Legion.

The Gallic Legion was a major legion of the Roman Empire.

This legion was the era of the Roman Republic, after Caesar the Great conquered Gaul, his successor, Augustus the Great, the greatest emperor of the Roman Empire, Octavian, established a heavy legion with the Gauls, and has always served the Roman Empire Strictly abide by the land of the Northwest.

The chief consul of the Gallic Legion was a Gaul named Vickers.

Vickers was tall and tall, a full [-] meters tall, standing up like a hill, with a pair of blue pupils, a hooked nose, a square face, and a full beard. He was truly fierce.

Born as a slave-gladiator, he was the most peculiar of the seven legions in the past. He was so powerful that even William, the leader of the Augustus legion, might not be able to defeat him steadily. Rui's most domineering axe.

The Gallic Legion is a heavy legion. It is the smallest of the major legions, with less than 15 troops, but it is the most vicious legion. The main defender is good at attacking. Every soldier has a giant spear in his hand, which is extremely lethal. , and the two soldiers were equipped with a giant iron shield invented by the Celtics. Once it was erected, the entire legion would be an impenetrable iron mountain, and the attack methods were overbearing and violent, usually sweeping past.

In the eyes of barbarian soldiers, this is their natural enemy.

A few years ago, He Qi's attack was also thwarted step by step by this legion, and he had to retreat back to Indian State in the end.

This is a notorious army.

On this day, all the generals gathered in the castle. Vickers was looking at a picture of the deployment of troops and horses on the Great Wall, and was discussing the military situation with several lieutenants.

"General, all our camps outside the city have been pulled out. These eastern demons have approached within five miles of us, but we have not been able to find out any news. This is not good for us, and some fleets have already arrived from the west. Landing in Solway Bay, attacking our west flank, once we are encircled on both sides, we will face a two-front battle, and I am afraid this battle will not be so easy to fight!"

"Hmph, why not be afraid, I could drive them out four years ago, today's battle can destroy them at the same time, the darkness will never be able to surpass the divine light of the Lord, and the devil can't become us or us The opponents of the knights, the knights of the Gallic Legion are invincible!"

A fierce general said with great pride.

"The past was the past, and now is the present. Before we had three legions in Britain, we were not afraid, but now we only have one Gallic legion, and the strength of these eastern demons is at least twice as large as before. The most important thing is those We have no way to resist the powerful weapons of demons. The Great Wall was blasted to open a gap before, which almost made us lose the Great Wall defense. This matter must be guarded against."

The person who spoke was the head of the First Gaul Legion, a slightly thin Gaul, Phidpus.

As soon as his voice fell, the atmosphere in the castle was a little quiet, and a needle could be heard.

The Wu army has already begun the era of widespread use of Thunderbolt. This powerful weapon that transcends the times has become a nightmare for the Roman Empire.

Vickers' blue eyes swept across, and he sighed in his heart. Although he understood that this was an unavoidable problem, as the general of the army, he naturally couldn't let the morale continue to drop.

"You don't need to be too pessimistic. Four years ago, they were defeated in our hands with such a magical weapon, which means that God still cares for us. No matter how magical a weapon is, it must be used by humans. If it is not powerful, it will be useless after all. It's just iron."

What Vickers said was not a lie.

Although the Great Wu Dynasty was at the vanguard of the times, the thunderbolt was far less powerful than the modern grenade, and the power it could display was only auxiliary, and it was far from being able to end the war.

"Darkness can never block the light, God will protect us!"

A pious general said truthfully.

The Roman Empire was a system of blending theocracy and imperial power.

"God will protect us!"

"God will protect us!"

All the generals shouted in unison to dispel the fear in their hearts, and their spirits recovered a lot.

Today, Christianity can't affect the imperial power, but it has enough to affect the morale of the army. After Severus succeeded to the throne, he did not suppress the sect's will, but used it to suppress the power of the Senate for him, which was very effective.
