Chapter 2570
: Completely Kill the Opponent
...
Hearing the confirmed result, Luciano couldn't help but frowned, sitting in his seat and began to ponder, thinking about the possible calculations involved.
"Commander, do you think there is a possibility that the enemy retreated because they learned of our arrival?" Although he knew that this possibility was not high, Sevasto still raised this possibility out of recognition of his own strength.
The eleventh eagle flag represents the loyal Claudius of the Roman Empire. Due to his own position, he does not actually regard the current Claudius family of the Roman Empire as orthodox. However, the power of the current Claudius family is very large.
It can be said that due to the disagreement in their ideas, the Claudid Legion would not stay in the heart of the Roman Empire for a long time. Most of the time, they acted like border kings and fought with the Slavs.
It can be said that Claude, who defeated the Slavs from Constanta all the way to Eastern Europe, is a very famous figure in this region of Eastern Europe.
It is not impossible that other barbarians know their names and flee at the sight of them.
Although this reason is often a bit ridiculous, it makes sense in reality.
"Impossible, this kind of thing is impossible. You know the Slavs in Eastern Europe. They are not the trash that used to be mixed in the west of the Caspian Sea or even in the Danube region. Their combat effectiveness is so strong that even with your ability and mine, we have to be a little more cautious..." Luciano looked at his camp leader and directly denied this possibility.
As a person who had fought against the elite Slavs for a long time, Luciano knew the real combat effectiveness of the Slavs better than anyone else in the Roman Empire.
Putting aside the environmental factor of winter, even in seasons with more suitable temperatures, the fighting power displayed by the Slavs is definitely not inferior to that of the other two barbarians.
It can be said that from the very beginning when he received the information passed on by the surrounding Manzi tribes, he learned that one or two legions with strange flags had come to the vicinity of Odessa, and captured nearly seven tribes of varying sizes at the terrifying speed of killing one tribe every three days. Luciano knew that this matter was not simple.
Although the fighting power of these tribes was pitifully weak, the fact that they were defeated at such a fast speed showed that the fighting power of the other side was probably similar to that of the Slavic heavy axe legion.
Assuming that the opponent had this kind of fighting power, Luciano naturally had to make careful calculations and try to deal with the opponent in one go to avoid other troubles later.
So after studying the attack route of Lu Bu and others, Luciano took his own legion, consisting of the headquarters legion and three auxiliary legions, and directly stationed west of Odessa, concealing his own information while waiting for the opponent's attack.
Odessa still has a low city wall. It may be difficult to resist the enemy's attack, but it is still possible to delay time.
As long as he could attract the enemy's attention, Luciano would be able to lead his army to encircle the enemy and destroy them in one fell swoop.
As for why he did this, it was because Luciano had suffered losses in this regard.
In the process of dealing with the Slavs, we thought we could end the war before winter, but the Slavs dragged it into winter and we were almost killed by them.
If they hadn't been strong enough at the time and hadn't had their will to survive burst out, and if they hadn't forcibly hacked the other party to death, they might have been the ones to die.
It was because of this experience that Luciano knew very well that if the war dragged on until the winter in this hellhole, it would be a very annoying and depressing war. It can be said that Luciano, who had been planning for nearly a week, waited for a week, but ended up waiting for such news. It would be a lie to say that he was not depressed.
After the last incident, Luciano basically stopped fighting with the Slavs in winter. However, the weather in Eastern Europe is so bad that it can be said that half of the year is in winter.
With this calculation, Luciano had wasted two weeks of the appropriate fighting time this year. One can imagine how depressed he felt.
If Luciano hadn't known that the Slavs didn't have such a mind, he would have thought that the other party was deliberately stalling for time.
"Commander, what should we do next? Continue to attack northward? Attack the Slavs west of the Dnieper River?" Sevastov never thought there was anything wrong with his commander's judgment, and immediately asked about future arrangements and plans.
After all, they set out on this expedition under the pretext of attracting the Slavs for the Roman Empire.
Even if some things are clear to each other, we still have to come up with reasons and slogans that are acceptable on the surface, otherwise how can we give others a way out?
The reason why unspoken rules are called unspoken rules is because everyone follows them. If no one follows them, the price you pay in the end may not be what everyone wants to see.
"Send someone to find out the direction of this team. If the opponent's tribe is not far away, then we will go straight to their door. I don't believe it..." After thinking for a while, Luciano finally decided to set his target on this unknown barbarian tribe.
If this troop is really an elite barbarian force, then the best way to deal with it is to bury them in advance and not give them the opportunity to continue to develop and grow.
It goes without saying that they plundered and looted such a large labor force, as well as food and other things, in order to expand their own tribe.
Once a tribe like this with such dangerous signs is discovered, it should be struck hard and strangled in the cradle.
It would be fine if they didn’t find out, but if they do find out and still don’t refuse, wouldn’t that be nurturing a tiger to cause harm?
Luciano had no idea or behavior of raising a powerful barbarian foreigner to act as a vigilant tiger.
That would be irresponsible to his own country and to the Claude family.
Even if they do not recognize the current Claudian family, they at least recognize the current empire - the Roman Empire.
"I understand. I will try my best to collect relevant intelligence information and try to find the location of the opponent's tribe in the shortest time possible." Sevasto did not waste time and accepted the task on the spot. Then he began to arrange the relevant command execution plan.
Luciano turned his head and looked at the map behind him. He became much quieter, silently estimating his own military strength and calculating the probability of killing all the enemies.
If you attack the opposing tribe directly, they probably won't run away. Although their combat power may be higher, based on this, you should still be able to completely kill them...
