Nova Roma-Chapter 325 - Fight against the threat Ek Chapat

When Hellena and Flavio arrived at the Gate of the wall on the outskirts of the capital, they were able to see a large number of wounded and refugees who, despite losing it, all received them as heroes.

Flavio wanted to ignore them, but as the emperor, he can't ignore them; but before anything, he had to ask the survivors the state of the city.

After talking for a while, Flavio met the Ceneric centurion, who noticed the state in which Emperor Flavio was.

So the first thing he did was inform the emperor that his mother and that her sisters had been saved by Admés who was flying on a glider to Texcoco.

This news immediately relaxed Flavio and Hellena, but this only means that the only person who stands alone resisting beast attacks is Flavio Lucio's stepfather.

He may not have any direct link with Flavio. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have it with his sisters. He has already lived through his father's death.

Flavio does not want his sisters to live the same as he suffered from the death of Vitelio.

"Centurion Cenerico, I give you the order to prepare your men to defend this area while I go to the headquarters, to save Commander Lucio.

You have to wait here in this area and safeguard that the enemies in the city go outside.

If you can begin to coordinate with the other Gates, if we are following the procedure, it is most likely that the alpha legion of the defense line will arrive in some hours.

You'll have to resist; you're in charge while I'm going to rescue my stepfather.

Nice to meet you, Cenerico; maybe after this, we can talk better. "

After saying these words, Flavio, along with Hellena, came running towards the city, Cenerico could only see the two emperors leave with an angry face.

This caused some fear in Cenerico; he was present at the incident that occurred when the Caribbean shaman broke free and attacked the emperor with everything he could.

He can be sure that the beasts are going to die cruelly even some will not even know what killed them because there is nothing more dangerous than two angry gods.

Flavio met the first Ek Chapat beasts who looked at him as if they saw the most delicious food they could face.

But before they could get close, they were completely turned to ashes because Flavio burned them instantly.

For Flavio, it was the first time he saw those monstrosities, but there is no better enemy than a dead one and more if he turned to ashes after killing so many innocent people.

Hellena, on the other hand, was a little less direct than Flavio but was much more lethal because not only was he dedicated to killing the enemies using a sword that his grandfather had given him.

But she also was using their divine energy, the beasts fell dead without even having the opportunity to get too close because the aura of death that Hellena gave off was able to kill them just by touching them.

Thanks to these two joint actions of Flavio and Hellena, the entire Decumanus avenue which was full of human corpses and a large number of beasts was quickly cleared, leaving ashes around it and the occasional corpse dismembered of the beasts.

When they made their way across the avenue, they could finally reach the imperial palace, which had a lot of holes in the walls, and inside, it seems to be on fire.

When they entered, they realized how horrible the situation was; corpses of soldiers who were training to be Praetorians were all over the place.

Some bodies were missing pieces of meat others did not even have some limbs; little Bastet, who was on her father's arm, felt some sadness when she could see the body broken in the middle of a young man.

The young man was one of the sons of the temple guards of Mother Tonantzin; the only reason Bastet remembered him was that the first time she arrived at the temple, the young man gave her a small wreath of flowers.

It may have been a mandatory action or something that Bastet does not understand, but the little act that the young man did somehow made her feel comfortable.

But now seeing the body of that young man who seemed to have suffered before dying causes her sadness, Bastet knows that it is not a sense of sadness as when his father disappears is something different.

All she could do was hold on to his father's chest as some tears came out of his eyes.

Flavio did not understand why his daughter was crying after seeing the body of a young man, so he tried to remember and was able to know that he was one of the young men who received him in the temple of Mother Tonantzin.

He did not understand what the young man did to arouse emotions in his daughter, but it does not matter because he is dead, in the act of respect Flavio bent down and closed the eyes of the corpse.

"After ending this threat, I will make sure you have a burial worthy of a Roman warrior.

Your sacrifice and that of your classmates will be remembered in the history books. "

Hellena, who watched the whole process, knew that perhaps Lucio was dead; he could only clench his fist and wait for Flavio to rise so that the two could enter the main building.

Flavio got up and took Hellena's hand to continue the path.

While the two walked in the Imperial Palace, which was on fire, they realized that there was no trace of the monsters that were attacking the palace.

It was an extremely melancholic scene and quite sad to see that the Imperial palace that was his first house on fire was something they never imagined.

After walking through the courtyard of the palace, they entered through the main door, where they could see that the situation was much worse than that of the courtyard.

The destroyed furniture, blood everywhere, remains of bodies of beasts and humans, everything was a real disaster.

But what worried Flavio and Hellena the most was the silence, which was only interrupted by the sound of burning wood or some collapsing structures.
