The sky was dark and there was no light to be seen.
Black shadows, like darkness fused together, passed quickly through the darkness, leaving only the continuous sound of horse hooves.
Ji Mo leaned forward, riding a maroon horse, and rushed at the front of the cavalry. Finn and Bruno followed closely behind Ji Mo, silently.
Ji Mo glanced at Bruno, who had only one hand left, and sighed softly.
He persuaded this guy that he didn't need to come to this last battle. After all, he was missing one hand and his combat effectiveness dropped by almost three levels. This situation was even more dangerous on the already very dangerous battlefield.
but……
Bruno touched his head with his only remaining arm, smiled innocently, and said: "I am a warrior, courage and glory are my pursuits! Besides, I don't feel at ease...".
Shaking his head to get the images out of his mind, Ji Mo's black eyes looked forward.
Their task was to ambush the Germans' flank before dawn and wait for orders.
It's still an old trick, but it still works.
…
At this time, the Roman army was in position.
Maximus wore a military uniform all his life, with gray armor trimmed with gold covering his body. His dark red cloak was blown up and down by the cold winter wind. He wore a beautifully crafted wolf skin on his shoulders, which fully demonstrated his noble character. Status and fierce momentum.
He was Maximus, the invincible Roman general.
Because there had been a light snowfall last night, the black dirt ground looked a little muddy. With a warm smile, Maximus walked past the respectful soldiers and came to the side of the deputy commander Quintas.
Looking at the already slightly bright sky, Maximus asked: "How long has he been there?".
He refers to the soldiers they sent to persuade them to surrender.
Quintus glanced at Maximus, who was staring into the distance, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he said faintly: "Nearly two hours!".
"Will they choose to surrender?" An officer standing with Quintas stood up and asked quietly.
Maximus shook his hands gently and said, "I'll know it soon!".
At this time, Quintas shouted to a soldier: "Soldier, move the catapult forward! The range is not far enough!".
Maximus looked at Quintus and said firmly: "The range is no problem!".
Quintas frowned, looked at Maximus, who had a different opinion with him, and questioned: "The light cavalry may be accidentally injured!"
Maximus frowned and said in a low but undeniable tone: "Don't worry, don't move, do you agree?".
After the words fell, Maximus turned his head and looked into the distance, but he did not see a trace of displeasure flash across Quintus's face.
At this time, the shrill sound of horses, along with the sound of horse hooves, crossed the dawn and reached Maximus's ears, attracting the attention of all Roman soldiers.
I saw a wildly running white horse, carrying a decapitated corpse and running towards him with blood sprinkled all the way.
After the horses were let in by the soldiers, they saw that in order to ensure that the headless body would not fall halfway, a spear had been driven through the body and stuck on the horse's back.
"They refuse to surrender!"
Maximus' face was expressionless and cold, especially when he saw a Germanic man throwing the soldier's head in the mud in a demonstration and yelling at them, his face became even colder. It's almost as if it can knock out ice shards, which is chilling.
"Uh-oh!"
Roars followed by the falling heads came from the Germanic side. Each Germanic raised his weapons and waved them towards where the Romans were.
Maximus bent down, stretched out his hands to pick up some black soil on the ground, rubbed it away with his palms, put his hands to his nose and sniffed lightly, then stood up.
"Courage and Glory!"
Maximus whispered something, got on his horse, and said to Quintus: "Attack on the signal!".
Quintus nodded.
Seeing this, Maximus rode his horse, bypassed the military formation, and galloped towards the place where they ambush at the end of the season.
…
At this time, in the forest.
Ji Mo crossed his arms and stood leaning on his horse, with a circle of cavalry surrounding him.
"Will they surrender?" A cavalryman asked after pulling down his horse and letting him stand where he was.
"It should be possible..." Finn said, but because he was not sure, his tone was inevitably a little weak.
Bruno patted the other party's shoulder heavily, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and said: "Men should learn to answer in the affirmative, yes, yes, no, no, what does it mean to say should!?".
Finn clapped the other person's hand in shame and said, "Then give me a positive answer!".
"Me!" Bruno smiled naively, but there was a cunning smile in his eyes. He looked at Ji Mo and said, "Ji Mo, do you think so?".
"Cunning!" Finn muttered unwillingly, and after hearing Bruno's words, the other soldiers also looked at Ji Mo, waiting for Ji Mo's answer.
Ji Mo glanced at the sky and saw that the sun had already shot down the first ray of sunlight today. After breaking through the darkness in the forest, he said: "No! When we came out, the messenger who persuaded us to surrender had already left, and from the moment the messenger left until now , it has been two hours, if they wanted to surrender they would have surrendered long ago!"
Hearing this, the cavalry all agreed.
"That's what I mean too!" Bruno grinned, as if his thoughts coincided with mine at the end of the season.
"Hey!" There was a burst of mocking boos immediately.
Ji Mo's ears twitched slightly, he looked behind the cavalry and said, "Someone is coming!".
In an instant, the cavalry fell silent.
Although they can't see anyone now, no one doubts Ji Mo's words.
That’s the weight of the season finale speaking now.
After a few breaths, several figures on horseback appeared in their field of vision, led by Maximus.
Pulling the reins and letting the galloping horse stop beside Ji Mo, Maximus said: "The enemy refuses to surrender, prepare to fight!".
Hearing this, the cavalrymen glanced at the end of the season and climbed on their horses as quickly as possible.
Maximus leaned slightly on the horse and asked softly at the end of the season: "That's it! Are you ready? This is the last battle!".
Are you ready? This isn’t asking again at the end of the season about are you ready for this fight? Rather, it’s asking, by the end of the season, are you ready for life after battle?
"And you?"
"Can't wait to hug my wife and son!"
Maximus smiled softly, his smile as bright as a ray of morning light shining on him.
