Lin Tian's army suddenly burst forth, a tremendous shock to the Roman Empire's forces.
They had not taken Lin Tian's army too seriously, but that did not mean they could completely disregard them. Especially now, with Lin Tian's army charging at them with fierce expressions, how could they possibly ignore it?
At this moment, the Roman Empire's army had no time to react beyond fear.
Thus, their shouts of alarm rang out incessantly.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Quick, someone! The enemy is attacking!"
"Defend, defend quickly!"
In normal times, such shouts would have spread far and wide in an instant, attracting considerable attention. However, tonight, the thunderstorm was exceptionally fierce, making it difficult for their cries to travel. Even if they did, Lin Tian's army had already reached them.
Lin Tian had given the order to slaughter the soldiers of the Roman Empire. Consequently, without hesitation, they raised their swords and began a frenzied assault. In a short span, they had already penetrated the Roman Empire's camp.
There were still quite a number of troops within the camp. Lin Tian's army's arrival indeed alerted them. However, realizing the need to arm themselves only at this moment was clearly too late. In their haste, they grabbed their weapons, only to fall at the hands of Lin Tian's army. Their screams grew more and more horrific.
The tragic cries finally drew the attention of the Roman Empire's generals. They grumbled loudly within their tents.
"What's all the noise? Are you mourning someone?"
At this moment, the Roman generals were groggy and disoriented. They couldn't immediately process the screams from outside, mistaking them for someone deliberately making a racket. Furthermore, their scolding only seemed to intensify the commotion, which began to irk the Roman generals. Thus, he swayed towards the entrance of his tent.
He then lifted the tent flap and beheld a scene that left him utterly dumbfounded. Outside their tents, sounds of fierce fighting echoed everywhere. The enemy they had so casually dismissed had suddenly stormed into their very camp. Not only that, but they were now riding their horses at full speed within the camp, cutting down soldiers rapidly. Many Roman soldiers had already fallen under their blades.
The moment this scene unfolded, the Roman generals instantly sobered up. Cold sweat broke out on their bodies, and they knew a disaster had befallen them. Stumbling, they rushed towards the generals with whom they had been drinking.
"It's bad, it's bad, a disaster! Enemy attack, the enemy has broken through!"
"What enemy attack? We're deep within our own army, where could the enemy be?"
"It's that army of 150,000, it's the 150,000 army that has attacked! They took advantage of the darkness and stormed our camp, and are now slaughtering our soldiers!"
"What? They've attacked?"
Upon hearing this, the previously dazed Roman generals snapped to their senses. They had never imagined that the enemy would actually launch an attack. And their army had already penetrated their camp. For them, this was a dire emergency. One wrong move could lead to a complete rout of their forces, and their own lives would be lost here.
Therefore, every single one of them scrambled to their feet. Then, they shouted in panic:
"Organize the soldiers, rally the troops immediately to counterattack! Do not give them a chance to break through our camp!"
"Hold them back, we must hold them back! If our camp is breached, we are finished!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!! Why did I drink? Why did we all drink?!"
It was only now that the Roman generals regretted their actions. However, their regret had come too late. Lin Tian's army was already rampaging through their camp. When they emerged from their tents, they saw Qin soldiers everywhere. The Roman soldiers appearing around them were dwindling in number. At this point, trying to rally their troops was already immensely difficult. Some soldiers, upon spotting them, directly pursued them. Soon, one of the generals lost his head. The remaining generals were fleeing in panic, unable to concern themselves with anything else.
Lin Tian, leading his army into the camp, did not hesitate and headed straight for the very center of their camp. That was where the Roman Empire's Grand General was located. Once the Grand General was dealt with and their camp was breached, this Roman army would be largely crippled. Thus, Lin Tian charged with great speed and no hesitation. Because it was a surprise attack, Lin Tian's forces encountered little resistance in the outer areas. However, the situation changed drastically once they reached the inner perimeter.
The soldiers here were already numerous, and Lin Tian's charge had already drawn their attention. Thus, as Lin Tian's army surged forward, they immediately caught the notice of many. A multitude of Roman soldiers rushed towards Lin Tian.
"Hold them back, we must hold them back! Do not let them pass!"
"Protect the Grand General, everyone protect the Grand General!"
"Their horses are charging fast, stop their horses, stop their leader!"
Lin Tian was at the forefront of the charge, and his presence made him the primary target for interception by the Roman Empire's army. From his armor, they could tell that Lin Tian's status was not ordinary. Therefore, they intercepted him with great effort, appearing as though they were determined to stop him at all costs.
However, their intentions were noble, but the reality was far from what they anticipated. Their desire to stop Lin Tian did not mean they could actually stop him. Lin Tian's combat prowess was not something they could match. Even the entire group of them appearing before Lin Tian could not slow his steps.
As these soldiers closed in, Lin Tian had already raised his treasured sword. Then, Lin Tian's sword descended, cleaving through everything. Many saw a large number of corpses flying around Lin Tian. Those wildly flying corpses were like rotten cabbage, hacked and chopped by Lin Tian. Though they were numerous, they possessed no fighting capability.
