The night was still so deep, and there was darkness in front of me, and under the towers on both sides of the river stood soldiers in twos and threes, pacing back and forth with torches, guarding the safety of the towers in this darkness.

After a heavy rain, the temperature drops, and the humid outside is not a place that everyone wants to be.

"Damn Vandals, we can't even sleep soundly, we should pray to God to send these damned fellows to hell and save us poor believers."

"Damn, how could these Vandals break through such chains, even one of them could make them cut until dawn, oh my God, I'm cold!"

The soldiers were whining and shivering in the cold wind, unaware of the shadows that had flashed behind them.

Just as they continued to complain with torches, before they knew it, a hand touched and covered their mouths and noses, and then they saw a dagger reflecting the cold light of the moon overhead, and soon, only a slight sound was heard.

The hand covering the mouth was released, and the two soldiers of the guard fell to their knees, they tried to cover the wound on their neck, opened their mouths wide, and gulped in the air, but to no avail.

Blood gushed down the wounds and fingers of both of them, and the two of them eventually collapsed on the damp ground as they lost their breath.

The assailants did not stop there, they looked up, and the light of the moon shone on their eyes, as if the bright moon was sculpting in their pupils.

Each of them had a cold glint of hatred in their eyes, and all eyes were fixed on the towering tower, and then, the shadows surged, and only the sound of scurling footsteps could be heard, and a large number of people stepped up the stairs towards the tower.

"The gates of Europa are now completely sealed by burned siege engines and deformed gates, and now the Vandals must change their attacks if they want to attack the gates, so they still need new siege engines to allow them to launch a new assault." Walcreek analyzed the situation on the battlefield, only to see him wrench his finger and explain to Luga: "According to the scale of the first assault, they still need at least ten siege towers, as well as two siege vehicles, or siege vehicles wrapped in iron plates, so it will take them nearly a month to start preparation, so we still have enough time to prepare for defense." ”

Walkrick said it very lightly, but Luga did not think so, after all, for this month, there was no problem at all for the well-fed city of Rome, but for Gaissarric, there were far more problems to consider now and a month later than now.

"Gaisaric didn't have that much patience for that long." Luga sighed lightly, "He planned to fight quickly from the beginning, but he didn't expect our resistance to be so strong that they were deflated, but such a small setback is impossible for him to give up, I don't think it will be long before they will definitely find a way to attack!" ”

As Luga had expected, in the silence of the night, the towers on the western banks of the Tiber were filled with screams, some of which were the sounds of battle, but the screams ended, and at last everything was calm.

"Click......"

In the darkness, only the sound of iron chains could be heard, and only the iron chains that firmly blocked the surface of the river were slowly falling, and finally sinking to the bottom of the water, and the whole Tiber River was empty without any defensive iron chains.

"Strange, what's going on?"

The noisy sound of the chains attracted a patrolling soldier, who came to the river with a torch in his hand, and looked at the slowly falling chains, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, I only saw a huge black shadow in the distance of the Tiber River, and the black shadow slowly approached, so dark and so heavy.

In the silence of the night, the "whoosh" of the oars could be heard, as if there was really a warship rowing on the Tiber.

"Mutiny!"

This was the first word that came to the soldier's mind, and he looked up at the tower, not sure whether the soldiers guarding it had defected or had been attacked, in short, the defenses on the Tiber ceased to exist, and the impregnable Roman line had a fatal hole.

The dark shadow gradually remembered that through the light of the fire in the tower, he could finally see the huge Vandal battleship clearly.

"Oh my God, damn it, damn it!" Frightened, he threw down his torch and turned back and ran deeper into the street, leaving only the extinguishing torches and the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away.

As the Vandal approached the shore of the Tiber, the soldiers lit torches, only to see a large number of heavily armed soldiers jumping off the boat.

The fire flickered, lighting up the entire ship, and by the way, the ships that followed, and more and more Vandals disembarked and came out into the streets of Rome.

They were silent, as silent as the shadows of the night, except for the faint glow of their armor in the darkness.

The Vandals broke through the impregnable walls and entered the unsuspecting streets.

"Click! Click! Click! ……”

In the darkness, the leading officer slapped his shield with the iron sword in his hand, and the soldiers behind him followed suit, and the silence of the night was instantly broken by the rhythmic sound of blows.

A large number of sleeping Roman citizens were awakened by the noise, they got up and opened the windows, and the noisy footsteps filled the entire house in an instant.

"What's going on? What's going on? ”

Puzzled, the Roman citizen bowed his head, and what he saw was a scene he would never forget.

Densely packed with Vandals in the moonlight filled the streets of Rome, and the Roman soldiers patrolling it had to raise their arms to contend with them, but this was only a mantis arm to stop the car.

Leo awoke from his sleep, and he had a nightmare about Rome collapsing in flames and eventually sinking like an island into a lava-filled hell.

He sat up suddenly, gasping for air, and looked around and nothing had happened.

"What the hell does this mean?"

Leo, who had let down his guard slightly, sighed lightly and reached out to wipe away the sweat covering his forehead, but at this moment, a sharp knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it?"

Leo's heart was startled by the sound, and once more in his throat, he hurriedly looked at the wooden door that made the noise.

“papa！ papa！ On the other side of the door was a priest's voice, "Vandals, Vandals have come in!" ”

"What!"

Leo took a deep breath, as if time had stood still, and he listened quietly, as if he could hear the noise outside.

Leo hurriedly got out of bed, pushed open the window, only to see a light in front of him, and then, as if frozen, he froze in place, outside the window, at the gates of Europa and near the western port, a raging fire had already been burned.

All of this was foreshadowed, just like what you saw in your dreams.

"Oh my God!" Leo sighed, stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard, it hurts, this is not a dream, this is reality.
