Nova Roma Chapter 102 - Bad decisions

The Andean gods decided to place themselves in the front row to be able to kill with their own hands a large number of approaching enemies.
Inti the sun god stretched his hands and the enemies in the distance began to turn to ashes, the tired soldiers cheered their god's attack.
The attack of Inti only initiated the unilateral confrontation, thanks to the fact that the soldiers of the damn jungle were far away could not respond to the attack.
Explosions and a large number of attacks fell on the enemies of the Andean gods, but then something changed the balance within the battlefield.
A great shout rang out and a being created from bone was present, this being had the shape of a large skeleton that used the green liquid of the battlefield to form ligaments that joined a large number of bones, its size was similar to that of the giants But it was much scarier.
His gigantic size did not scare Inti and approached him so that he could destroy it efficiently but then when he tried to use his divine energy but he could not, it was then that the bone hand expanded and is crossed his chest without much difficulty.
At that moment he felt death that something he had forgotten for a long time, tried to remove the bone from his chest but this became skewers that went through his entire body before he lost consciousness he decided to immolate himself to prevent his body from falling into the hands of The damn jungle.
His inherent body of life began to warm up until it exploded in a fireball that consumed the skeleton and its remains, this happened so fast that the Andean gods could not believe what they were looking at.
Inti's death was a great blow but they decided not to flee for their pride and attack the troops of the damn jungle.
At that time hundreds of other skeletons began to form this fright to the gods who decided to attack at a distance and not approach them for their safety.
The soldiers of the Andean region could not see that their gods were in danger and therefore charged against the skeletons that were forming on the battlefield.
The confrontation began again and the brave soldiers confronted the giant skeletons, but it was only enough that they swipe to destroy the fragile bodies of the soldiers.
The gods took advantage of the distraction of their soldiers and launched their most powerful attacks on them, but only caused the soldiers who were facing the giant skeletons to die immediately.
They realized that their divine energy could not harm them, so they decided to attack with their weapons taking care of the skeletons' ability to increase the size of their limbs.
The fight became fierce when the gods with their weapons killed the skeletons with great ease, thanks to the stupidity of Init to attack without the care they could be prepared to defend themselves against any attack that could launch the skeletons.
Everything was quite calm until the soldiers of the cursed jungle arrived at the battlefront, thanks to their superior numbers they were able to overload the gods who were gradually outnumbered.
Because the giant skeletons generated a force field that prevented the gods from using their divine energy, they could only attack using their weapons and their strength.
Gradually some gods were overcome against skeletons and other beings from the damn jungle and began to be killed.
These dead gods, like Init, preferred to die immolated so that their bodies were captured, thanks to their decision in some places on the battlefield fire explosions were present ending the lives of enemies and allies who were near the explosion zone.
Viracocha decided to see a large number of casualties calling for a withdrawal from the army, the expedition had been a mistake, they underestimated the enemy and did not have an army prepared to fight against the cursed jungle.
So that they could escape with the remains of the troops, they gave the order to the frontline soldiers to fight to the death so that they could escape and regroup in the Andes.
The warriors had no choice and agreed to fight to the death to defend the withdrawal of the remains of the army if they fail to stop the enemies they can kill their families who are in the rear.
Viracocha began to evacuate the army and the surviving gods, all began to march towards the Andes while on the battlefield remained the warriors who fought until they died.
In the retreat Viracocha decided to go to the great Coropuna volcano to regroup, they had suffered a great defeat and needed to prepare for the siege of those beasts and monsters that will chase them all the way.
The warriors managed to fight for 5 hours before they were completely killed when the soldiers of the cursed jungle died they advanced towards the Andes destroying any trace of civilization in their path.
The great caravan of Viracocha is made up of only 100,000 soldiers, women, and children.
This was all that was left over after that defeat against the cursed jungle, the road of the defeated was quite sad and the silence as they walked was uncomfortable.
As some children advanced and soldiers fell dead on the road to the Coropuna volcano, the caravan was too tired and demoralized to take care of their bodies, therefore they were trodden down by a large number of people or llamas.
Their bodies soon became an amorphous reddish-brown paste, which stuck to the feet of those who walked in the caravan.
In 10 days they walked without adequate rest, they followed their God Viracocha without even complaining or asking why to head towards the Coropuna volcano.
When they finally arrived from the 100,000 they started, only 40,000 had survived, all the others died of fatigue, illness or simply gave up and left the caravan trying to go somewhere else.
Viracocha was angry at that damn jungle so he would show him that making him angry was a bad idea, he led his people to climb to the top of the volcano.
People were wondering why their God was forcing them to climb the dangerous volcano but it was that or staying to die for the horrors of the jungle.
When they climbed to the top Viracocha forced them to set up camp around the crater, the naive survivors did it as ordered by the god Viracocha.
The nights were cold and food was in short supply at the camp, people's complaints began to listen throughout the camp until one day they were completely silent.
This happened when Viracocha could feel the army of monsters approaching the volcano, it was time to execute the next step of his plan to defeat the army of the Cursed Forest.
Without hesitation, he ordered all humans to make a human chain around the crater of the volcano, although none of them understood that he wanted to achieve his God Viracocha did.
When they completely formed the human chain that Viracocha asked for, everyone lost control of their bodies and jumped into the crater with volcanic lava.
There were no screams because the heat of the lava killed them immediately, 40,000 lives were ended by orders from Viracocha.
This was part of a ritual to ask Mother Earth to help them cause a volcanic explosion of great impact, but this was only the first part of the ritual.
Viracocha I wait until the soldiers of the damn jungle surrounded the volcano and then shouted "A life for a life, damn jungle I hope you like my gift"
The surviving gods and Viracocha held hands and jumped into the lava, once again this happened, tremors were felt all over the continent and volcanoes erupted.
The volcano of Coropuna released a pyroclastic cloud of 50 km, turning all life in that range into stone statues, the damn jungle was the one that suffered most because the volcanoes where it was exploded creating fires throughout the jungle.
In some ruins in the center of the Amazon the consciousness of the jungle was angry, again the dirty humans had burned the jungle "Damn Viracocha, damn humans I will kill you until there is none of you, damn plague" ...
