Nova Roma

The fire began to consume the jungle from a distance while Flavio stretched his hands with a happy face on his face "All that enemy of Rome will burn on the fathoms receiving the baptism of death"

Inside the jungle, the fire quickly began to spread, because there is not a fleet in the Pacific only the part of the jungle that borders the Caribbean could be lit, but this was more than enough for the fire to start to do his job.

The consciousness of the jungle began to occupy its slaves to stop the fire but this was impossible because oil adhered to the trees feeding the fire that gradually expanded, causing slaves trying to put it out died in the process.

Gradually the slaves of the jungle were dying either by fire or by smoke, this began to release the survival instinct that they had very repressed due to the control that managed the jungle.

they began to realize both they and the animals that continue to pay attention to the consciousness of the jungle would only have the option of dying so chaos began to be present in all of them.

Some killed each other for trying to leave Tuesday fire some went into the sea but not knowing how to swim only drowned there were only two roads to go to the south or go north both filled with a sea of ​​fire every time his vital space was reduced because the fire was advancing placing them in the last area that would be burned.

without wasting any more time they decided to divide the right half to the south while the other half would go north, this was no longer to fight against what its owner called parasites this was to survive.

While the creatures of the jungle made their way to the exit that they believed was the correct one in the trenches the soldiers prepared to receive whatever was going out of the jungle, there is nothing more dangerous than fighting with someone or something that He fears to die.

The artillery positions had received the maximum amount of ammunition and gunpowder that could be had, they received the firing order at their discretion, it was the first time they could open fire without worrying about the rationing of gunpowder, they knew that whatever came out of the curtain of fire could not be friendly.

The same happened with the Crossbowmen, archers, and musketeers, they received maximum supply and were given the order to prepare for the worst, as for the melee soldiers they received two sets of swords and extra daggers for use in case it was necessary, also on the outskirts of the trenches the wooden skewers were placed to help stop what came from the damn jungle.

With the troops prepared Flavio prepared to wait for the stampede of what was going to come out of the hell that the jungle had become.

Suddenly everything began to shake not Flavio soldiers even the workers of the wall prepared to receive those things that were going to leave and then they saw something that froze their blood.

The giants came out but this time their flesh had fallen out, even in some areas they had roasted the aroma that they gave off even hundreds of meters away from burned meat that caused the soldiers to have certain difficulties to keep the contents in their stomach.

the bones could be seen in some areas but even with that damage and without caring absolutely nothing they kept running towards the trenches then the troops began to open fire, the shots quickly ended the lives of those poor giants but this was just a snack.

What came later was even worse hundreds of animals on fire ran to try to protect themselves from the trenches just as the giants were met with shots, arrows and steel shafts from the crossbows, this works perfectly for large animals but for small ones it turned out Being ineffective, the soldiers quickly prepared to receive those small animals on fire and end their misery.

When they reached the trenches they were quickly received by blows even some spears pierced in their bodies, they had no other choice they had realized that they were allowed one of them to fire will reach the artillery nests or the area of ​​the musketeers was simply a danger that they were not willing to allow.

Because the walls of the trenches were 2 meters the burning animals could not climb and reach other areas, therefore, they were easily killed, after killing these animals what came out of the jungle this time was much worse, they could see with all the soldiers amaze hundreds of thousands of giants and humans running some screaming and on fire trying to get away from the jungle.

There was the greatest treatment they had ever had and the defenses of the southern wall, a large number of enemies that pounced on the troops was the perfect target for distance weapons but still with this and after they lost power after from entering the traps they managed to reach the first lines of defense the trenches.

I know either giants or humans who left the jungle and managed to reach these trenches, they hit the legionaries and defenders for the first time with their teeth and teeth. The casualties were no longer in a few hundred a day in just an hour had died of 30000 defenders.

The problem mainly was that these beings who tried to go out and take refuge act by instinct, therefore they did not hesitate to kill even if they were dying they kept fighting without caring about anything

Therefore it was as if the soldiers were facing inert zombies of pain even with the best weapons or with the best tactics it was not enough because they could cut off their hands and mobilize them completely but this would be fighting like rabid beasts spilling up to the last drop of blood of those who stopped them in their escape.

The canyons and the ballista opened fire by having a large concentrated number of enemies proved to be too effective because the cannonballs did not distinguish between giants or humans who had left the jungle once they passed over their bodies they turned them into a colored pulp reddish, which gradually filled the battlefield with a reddish haze.

The scent of gunpowder permeated while the screams did not stop, the weapons continued to work and the soldiers continued to fight for 5 hours

Flavio like his soldiers were tired 5 hours of interrupted fighting can make even the most veteran feel the weight of the muscles and weakness in his hands fortunately little by little the amount of enemies that were arriving was decreasing for 5 hours have been killing uninterruptedly and more than 60,000 defenders have died in approximate medical soldiers throughout the entire defense of the wall.

Although the casualties are extremely high and even exceed the casualties that were made throughout the conflict is a sacrifice that Flavio is willing to make to stop once and for all the jungle attack allowing the troops to have a break while the construction of the defensive wall is finished.

When the enemies stopped coming out completely the tired and surviving troops took a break, they had won and the plan had gone perfectly although many lost their battle mates, their sacrifice was not in vain because thanks to them the Wall construction can continue without inconvenience.

Flavio allowed his troops to rest and they will take a breath they needed it because they had to clean the battlefield and make a count of how much they had come to kill Flavio did not know if this was going to do it I was to attack the jungle but something yes I was sure it would take years to come back into a confrontation like this.

While watching the battlefield and watching his troops, I knew that I had to build something in his honor for his brave sacrifice to fight with this enemy, so I decided that once the wall was finished in a safe area of ​​the Irazú volcano, a gigantic monument would be built to the fallen for the worst war that Nova Roma faced in its beginnings ...
