Nova Roma

Julio explained to them what had happened while sitting in a chair that was in the watchtower, the soldiers were surprised by the detailed descriptions given by the prince.

They were worried about what was happening but their families were far from Rome in Emerita Augusta, the city is considered the second capital of the empire after the work that Flavio did.

After Flavio left with his mother Julia, Augusto let his third wife Livia take over the city with his son Agrippa and his stepsons.

Julio never liked that woman, but thanks to the help of his nephew with the reforms to the army and the Praetorians, he has managed to avoid attacks from her, despite the fact that he denounced her to his father, thanks to the evidence that he gave, Augusto give the command to send Livia and his sons to Emerita Augusta in a kind of exile.

While Julio was thinking after giving his talk, the two soldiers talked to each other to see if they helped the prince or begin their way to Hispania to see if their families were assaulted.

At that moment one of the windows of the tower broke and Julio prepared his sword to kill the Damned woman, she gets up with glasses on her body and deformed face which was missing pieces.

The two soldiers came down from the top of the tower to see what was happening and they could see the prince beheading a woman who has a lot of damage in her body "Soldiers prepare your weapons and help me, we have to hold ourselves in the tower to be able to sleep today.

Tomorrow we will have to move, this place is not safe. "

Julio took the severed head of the woman and threw her out of the window and after that, he threw the body with the help of the soldiers, the soldiers helped Prince Julius close the windows and lock the door to prevent anything from entering.

One of the soldiers looked at Julio "Those kinds of monsters are what destroyed Rome, Prince Julius."

Julio nodded and climbed the stairs of the tower "The one you saw was a woman turned into a cursed being, I don’t know why but there are some of those things that can run.

To our fortune, the woman who decapitated was only a normal monster, they cannot run but they are still dangerous.

And remember if that shits bites or scratch you, its the end, you have the option of suicide and die with honor or live like a monster"

At that moment outside the Tower began to hear strange noises as if something or someone tried to enter, first rang at the door and then began to ring in the window that was closed and protected to prevent any of those things could enter.

When they climbed the tower they could realize the cruel reality, outside there were more than twenty of those things surrounding the tower, Julio decided to take advantage of these monsters to show the soldiers the danger of those cursed beings.

He asked one of the soldiers for a crossbow they had among his belongings, he did not have to wait long since one of the soldiers took him a crossbow and some ready steel Bolts.

Julio took the crossbow and began aiming at one of the monsters with human skin that were besieging the place. "These things do not feel fear pain or any feeling, so they have no qualms about killing you.

Another thing I have noticed is that they seem to be weak when their neck is cut or the sword is buried in their heads, I don’t know if there is any other way to kill them.

But if you find out I’d like to know, it’s not easy to decapitate those cursed beings. "

After this the soldiers stood next to Julio observing the practice of shooting he was going to do, Julio took a deep breath and placed the crossbow in position.

A poor bald bastard points out who seemed to have part of his face and arm completely eaten up, making him the most suitable target.

The first thing Julio did was to aim at one of the legs he placed the Bolt in the chamber of the crossbow and fired, the Bolt came out at a great speed buried the dead man’s foot on the ground, so he could not move.

The soldiers were surprised because they realized that there was no scream or something that told them that the person had felt pain, Julio reloaded the cable of the crossbow and replaced a Bolt.

After this, he aimed at the head of the creature and shot, the shot was perfect but with the difference that the target fell dead.

They asked to try it and took the crossbow from Julio’s hands and started shooting, with it just as July had told them and as they had seen none of their shots caused the monsters to complain.

It did not take long to clean the outside of the Tower using only a crossbow, they did it just in time because the sun was about to hide and could not attack in the dark of the night.

Because the ground floor was extremely dangerous, the three decided to sleep on the top and entrench the door in case the cursed beings came in could prevent them from climbing where they were.

For dinner, they decided to use the dried meat that the guards had and one of the bottles of apple juice that Julio had taken, unfortunately when they were on the second floor they could not make a fire because they could burn the wooden tower.

During dinner, there was not much talk between them because everyone had different things in mind. Julio is still thinking about his dead wife Estela while the guards were thinking about their families in Emerita Augusta.

They slept quite calm until dawn where they began to hear a lot of noises coming from outside the Tower, someones are of animals that had come to prey on the bodies and others, were of those beasts.

It was not until the morning where they could see that more than 50 cursed beings were surrounding the small Tower, they knew they could not resist staying longer for what they had to decide.

One of the soldiers approached Julio "Prince Julio I am willing to fight with you, I just hope you do not forget my relatives in Emerita Augusta.

My name is Caelus, you can count on me to fight those beings. "

The other soldier also approached Julio "Prince Julio, I want to refuse you and go to Emerita Augusta but today when I woke up I could see that one of those things that are surrounding the tower is a little girl.

To think that my daughter or son can become bloodthirsty beasts makes me sick, I will fight with you and the empire. ’

The two soldiers looked at each other and performed the Roman greeting as they shouted "Roma Invicta"...
