Nova Roma

Chapter 55 - Conquest of Equorum Insulae (Isle of Youth)

The two Mohan shamans learned of the defeat they suffered for the white man and his four-legged monsters, so they decided to join a large group and fight head-on with them, more than 30,000 warriors and 20,000 women joined to fight against this white man.

The Caribbean traditions prohibit women from participating in battles but they have no other choice but to defend their home. Years ago they fought another group of Caribs who were expelled from this land, they do not want to be expelled, so they will fight with everything they have

They chose a quite advantageous terrain for them as it was the central plain they began to build wooden walls to be able to avoid that those monsters of four legs will attack them and tread them until death.

Flavio found out through his scouts that the Caribs were sheltering in a kind of fortress and a smile floated on his face "This will be a fairly simple victory for the empire, Amancio sends to bring the legion of Magna caribe and 10 cannons"

Amancio nodded and went to give the order to the messengers, meanwhile Flavio ordered that the strong Caribbean be surrounded with cavalry since the Caribs had taken refuge in its walls that better than to prevent them from leaving them, also placed the Vi Opus and the snipers of the inquisition in small checkpoints to kill anyone who dared to leave.

Flavio ordered to start the search for the marble mine, the marble for the Romans is very important the constructions even though Flavio occupies only the cement leaving the marble for statues or miscellanies, this because it is much simpler to build with cement to be occupying giant blocks of marble that would take days to reach their destination without mentioning that the amount brought would be very small

Another problem is that the marble in Origin Civitatem is only occupied for the statues since the mine of this is very small, what abounds in the peninsula is Jade of high quality which is used for the creation of accessories and crafts.

Flavio likes things that are durable and quick to build, but that does not mean that he despises marble apart from its aesthetic use for the elaboration of statues can also be occupied for the construction of a mosaic that gives a beautiful aesthetic to buildings unlike the floor of cement.

While thinking of how beautiful the imperial palace would be Amancio entered the tent and reported that the Empress Hellena had arrived,

Flavio was glad for the news and left his tent and went to the port to receive his family, in the provisional port Hellena was going down with his two little ones have spent 5 months since they do not see his dad and have been asking for him.

Therefore Hellena decided that it was time to see Flavio, I leave Lilith as she went to see her husband while carrying Erendida, Yuma started screaming and pointing with his little plump baby hand "Mom Is Daddy"

Hellena looked and saw her husband riding on his Black horse going towards them, once the first thing that Flavio did was to hug his wife with his children.

"How have my little monsters behaved?" Flavio asked his babies Erendida and Yuma

The two children smiled and said in unison "Bien Papa"

Embracing her two offspring gave a big kiss to Hellena "And my empress as she has been"

Hellena returned the kiss to Flavio and whispered some things in Flavio’s ear, Flavio could only shake his head and smile malevolently.

After the desired meeting Flavio took them to their fortress so that they could know what the place where he has been living for the last month, showed them the stables, the barracks of the troops, the dining room and the house of the commander.

Yuma was completely happy when he saw the imperial cavalry, despite being a boy he showed great interest in those soldiers who rode in his daily training, while Erendida showed more interest in the elven snipers who were training to fire at the target in the field.

Flavio played with his children until they were asleep after this followed the game of adults.

Time passed and the Gamma Legio Canibulum arrived with the artillery that Flavio had, really wanted to show the cruelty of the war to his children but Hellena put a little order on the crazy ideas of her husband, she does not refuse to let them know the reality but feels that it is too early for them to start worrying about the violence of the world.

Flavio realized that this could have caused trauma to his children so he apologized to Hellena for his completely out of character behavior.

The indicated day arrived and Flavio said goodbye to his family in the fort, it was time to kill the cannibal mice in their burrow for weeks have tried to break the siege but the snipers and the cavalry have killed them without remorse.

The shaman leaders realized that building a wall and staying inside had been a big mistake which could cause them annihilation, little by little they were running out of food and water, therefore, they started killing some old people to eat them and drink their blood.

The festival of cannibalism among the Caribs in their "fort" would not last long, they were suddenly surrounded by a great army.

An explorer occupying a copper device that amplifies his screaming sound "Caribes for their sins Lesa humanity the empire Nova Romano declares them guilty, they can go out and surrender or die in its walls"

The Mahua shamans did not want to hear they had faith that they could stop with numbers of any attack from outside.

Nobody came out of the fortress and Flavio smiled and ordered "Let hell fall on them"

The gunners fired their guns in unison on the thin wooden defense, the first cannonballs entered the fortress killing as the much Caribbean will cross, the chaos in their warriors began to be present, while the cannonballs were killed by the archer’s Mayan auxiliaries dropped a sea of ??arrows with fire over the fortress.

Little by little the strong Caribbean began to consume in flames, the chaos was unstoppable even with the orders of the shamans was too late.

When they left the fortress in terror, the snipers and the crossbowmen hunted them when they got far from the death zone, the cavalry was in charge of killing them, after an attack at a distance of one hour the legion attacked hand to hand.

The few defenders to see the white man approaching knew that they were dead therefore with his last forces attacked in a suicidal charge that ended with his death.

In the end, there were no survivors of any kind they had all died from arrows, cannonballs or the fire that burned them to death.

With the extermination of these Caribs the cleaning of the island has been completed, Flavio ordered the cavalry to cross the whole island in search of survivors’ Caribbeans or the prevention of canoe attacks from Insulae Canibalium (Cuba) ...
