The First Taste
The Celts were all at the top of the palisade, banging their shields with their weapons and shouting their war cries hoping to intimidate the Romans. It was working. “Draw your swords lad, we’re going in,” cried Entores the centurion of the century. Lilannces gritted his teeth and prayed to the Gods that he would make it out this day.
The siege equipment had done its job; the enemy gates were completely destroyed the path lay open for the Romans. The century was less than twenty meters from the fort now easily in firing distance, rocks stones and spears were being hurled in the roman ranks. A hissing sound caused Lilannces to duck from an arrow coming towards him. The arrow went over his head and hit the man behind him. There was a sick squelching sound as it dug into his organs. “Shit” Lilannces muttered. Glancing back he saw a Roman bodies littered across the grass, not all of them were dead. Some were slowly crawling back and fourth crying out for assistance.
The century reached the gates now and slowly made their way in. “Slaughter the bastards!” the centurion screamed, taking up his sword and challenging the nearest Celt to him. Lilannce turned his gaze to a Celt, a young looking warrior with various tattoos around his body. Clutching his long Celtic sword he advanced towards him, swung it violently trying to connect with Lilannce head. Liannce managed to bloke the blow with his shield, the Celt growled in anger and tried to grab the shield and knock it away from him. Lilannce instantly dropped his shield and drove his sword as hard as he could into his enemy’s rib cage, the Celt made a faint gargling and made a feeble reach for Lilannce’s neck. With a bit of force Lilannce managed to free his sword and finished the Celt of with a quick blow to the head. Wiping his sword on the ground he noticed that the fight was nearly over, most of the Celts were either dead or dying, and the last few alive were fighting back to back or throwing their weapons on the floor in an attempt to surrender. The fight was over.
