Nova Roma

Flavio woke up in the early morning feeling his wife’s hug, which he watched with affection as he fiddled with his wheat-colored hair, Hellena woke up by the caresses that Flavio was doing on her hair

"You were amazing sweety yesterday," Hellena said as she laid her head on her husband’s bare chest.

"Enough will make me blush," Flavio said as he stroked his wife’s back and kissing his forehead.

While the two of them flirted in the morning, something began to occur in the abyss of the jungle, the consciousness that the jungle has is getting angry because it cannot end what she knows as a plague.

Humans and other supernatural beings are only plagues that must be destroyed or assimilated since garbage cannot kill garbage will occupy their faithful children to end them once and for all.

In the afternoon Flavio dismissed Hellena because she had to return to Origin Civitatem to take care of Yuma and Eréndira could not be alone for a long time with Lilith, Flavio and Hellena knew that letting them grow up without their parents can be dangerous because in the future some of them will inherit the empire and the position of leader of the religion.

Hellena set out with her new maid Kitsuné and her baby so that they could communicate. Flavio would send sheets with a Latin-Chinese dictionary to Hellena every day to teach her the language.

While he thought the attack alarm rang, Flavio ran quickly for his weapons in his room, inside he could see that his wife’s support was on his back, he could only shake his head, although he liked to remember the time with Hellena he had to return to the battlefront, to face what the damn jungle will launch, he knew that only 3 or 4 more months would be enough to finish the great look of protection.

When Flavio arrived at the front of the battle he could see what came out of the jungle, some green amorphous monsters that protruding from them tentacles, when they approached the shots and bullets fell on them, but they did not seem to be effective because they were buried in their skin without damaging them.

Flavio realized that that green color and tentacles with their resistance those were not beings of flesh and blood, quickly gave an order "Amancio carrying fire arrows on them, before they can continue moving forward"

Amancio quickly took the information to the communication posts in just minute hundreds of burning arrows fell on the battlefield, The incandescent arrows that flew made the sky turn a reddish color that would leave death on enemies.

The burning arrows were buried in his hard and green body which gradually began to catch fire and a terrifying sharp sound came out of their large mouths, the fire caused them to run over the trenches where the troops were.

The veterans in the front line felt that adrenaline increased in their bodies, it will be a battle where dying would be a reward, but while they enjoyed some of the recruits they were shaking with fear.

Quickly those monsters fell into empty trenches with skewers that work as traps, this cut off their route to run so they stayed in the trenches, turning their interior into an incandescent furnace that created a wall of impassable fire that prevented them from continuing to advance the green monsters

Seeing that they could not advance in their attack they were retreating to the jungle, Flavio and the soldiers could not believe that it was so easy, at that moment he began to tremble and they saw muscular giants coming out carrying stone shields.

Flavio quickly ordered that the cannons be prepared and that the shooters must shoot in the eyes once the giants have lost their balance by the cannonballs.

The artillery received the order and pointing the guns on the giants with their stone shields opened fire, the speed and weight of the iron projectile are enough for the hands of the giants to destroy as the stone shield cannot stop the force with which the projectile travels.

With the shattered hands the giants cannot cover their bodies which are perfect shooting targets for snipers who do not hesitate to end their misery.

The attacks continued for a while longer until the giants stopped coming out, Flavio knows that little by little the enemies have been adapting to their tactics it is time to launch an attack before the traps and weapons begin to be useless.

It is time to apply the "Viridi Mortem" (Green Death) plan, for this Flavio can use a fairly simple but effective tactic he will use the boats to launch with catapults barrels with oil on the coasts from Costa Rica to Colombia

"Let’s see if the jungle is so strong as to withstand multiple fires, it is a shame that the jungle has to be burned but when there is danger it is best to face it from the root"

Flavio ordered that along with the front line large spears placed outside the trenches will be prepared, they might not be able to stop a large number of enemies but when the hornet has shaken the beings that inhabit the damn jungle will try to go out to look for shelter.

He cannot be sure of the number of enemies there will be but if he knows that they will act as headless animals seeking their survival no matter what.

Flavio went to his room to draw in a notebook some trebuchet plans adapted to the bow of the available boats, its effective range will be 800 meters, which is little but thanks to that it will be a coordinated attack you can create a large fire in the damn jungle and maybe with it gain enough time for the construction of the wall, the troops have been on the front line for months and need a rest before they collapse due to mental fatigue ...
