[XL] Chapter II: The March
[If you missed Part I: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=100010000]
KEY: (**** = Time lapse) ----------------------
Prelude: As dawn breaks and the sounds of birds squawking and the blares of horns, a 10 year old fortified structure is coming to a close. The 10th Legion is packing up as the 10 year work on Hadrian's Wall is completed, they are ordered to head south to London and take a fleet to Northern Gaul, land and march through Northern Gaul and Germania Inferior to Germania Superior. Before the 10th leaves, they set a blaze the fort and march in a 4 person column to the wall.
****
As the 10th legion was marching through a thick forest, about 5 miles from Strageath. Imperator Blackpig told his men to keep their eyes open and always be ready. A few minuets go by and WHAM, the Imperator is hit in his right leg and right ribs. His hearing goes and he blacks out falling from his horse. The arrows went deep with blood gushing out. The Praetorian Guards form a shield wall around him while a few soldiers bandage him up and try to stop the bleeding. The Imperator is mumbling something, but it's incoherent...
As the arrows hit the Imperator, the rest of the legion hears cracking as if woods on fire in one direction and screaming on another. As large balls of fire came down upon them. As the balls of fire hit, the lines break and it comes down to hand to hand fighting, no team work, no help, just you alone with the skill the legion posses. As the fire balls slammed into rows of Legionaries, one Miles named, Cooloboss was slammed head on by the raging fire ball and was knocked down to the ground and knock out cold. A Tiro named Jjmyers turns around and barfs up his morning breakfast. "Some men just can't handle war...." said Centurion Haden. Midway through the battle, the Imperator regains conscience and walk up saying "Xe-...." "Xe-...." The Medics said he had a fever and depending on how strong he is, determines if he'll live or not. The fate of his life is now in the hands of the Gods.
Mid way through the battle, Miles, Tiros even up to Tesserarious fell like a tree being cut down. They were hacked on all sides, no where to run, except to fight and survive. As the soldiers had to hop over dieing friends, mutilated friends just to fight a Barbarian. As a Tesserarious named Perlox was fighting a barbarian, a javlin was thrown into his back and he fell like a stone of bricks.
Retentus Masterchief865986 saw Perlox fall and cried "NOO!" and started to dash towards Perlox's fallen corpse, but there were 10+ barbarians between him and Perlox so he had to run back to a group of Legion members. Distraught over the death of his dear friend, Pelox, he went into a frenzy with any barbarian that he encountered.
Miles Zamork12345 just hid under a tree in utter shock and frightened out of his mind. He jusaw his friend get stab 4 times, chopped off head and thrown into a group of Legionarries. "I can't do this.. I can't do this..." He kept syaing to himself. He heard a crack of a twig and was pale as a ghost when he looked up to see a barbarian standing above him with his sword out and a dead roman head in his other hand. Just as the barbarian was about to kill him he heard him grunt and collapse. Behind the barbarian was Praetorian Ultraphoenix99. He gave his hand out and said "You are a soldier of Rome and by the Gods, you show no fear. You fight to the bitter end. You give no land. If the barbarians want us out of their land, their gonna have to keep trying. Rome is here to stay." With that he ran off to help other Legionaries. Zamrok felt so relived he was saved. With those words of encouragement, he took up his Gladius and joined the fight. As the battled neared an end, many were dead, on both sides. No songs of victory or honor were sung that day.From that day on, the legion had sent scouts in all directions around the moving army to spot anymore Barbarian attacks. The Centurions thought they would easily make it to the wall, but they were wrong.
As the battle came to a close, soldiers were running around looking for possible surviving Legionaries. What they saw was Gruesome, beyond able to explain. Some people died with their eyes open as half their face was gutted by an axe, other dies with mear stab and slash wounds. Even a few bodies were twitching as they had weapons still in lodged into their skulls. It was no pretty site. It was a site that showed a fearsome battle between the 10th Legion and Barbarians. A Retentus had his face bashed in by a club and was completely dis formed, you couldn't even tell who it was or what it was, but when they saw the scar on the Retentus arm, they knew who it was... It was Retentus Hunter6252.
If you weren't in this Chapter, you'll be in the next one. I split this chapter for it would of been, 2x or 3x as long as it is now.
