Nova Roma Chapter 203 - Arrival of the ten northern tribes

Miyuki was surprised by the noise and next to Idril they went to check where the noise came from what they found was one of the beasts that had freed themselves from their chains by banging their head against the cell wall.
The beast was bleeding but he didn't seem to mind crashing his head against the wall while little by little his brain was getting out of the wounds.
After a minute the beast struck one last blow and his brain was muddled on the wall, Miyuki looked at Idril "It's normal for those things to slam against the wall even with the brain outside."
Idril shook his head "Not that I know we will have to wait for the biologist to analyze the body, it is also quite complicated that he has freed himself from the chains since they are blessed by divine energy."
Miyuki looked inside the cage and could see that the chains had the beast's hands hanging. "I guess you don't have to tear off the chain if you tear your hands off first.
Very few things resist the pain of tearing limbs and then crashing into the wall, I would like to see the autopsy done by the biologist. "
Idril nodded and the inquisitors entered with latex-coated leather suits to take the body to the autopsy room, while this was happening in the city of Tajin the inquisitors were checking the body of a girl.
The girl was an orphan refugee who had the bad luck of going out at night and was attacked by a chupacabra, her body was only found until now at noon.
The body of the little girl was dried and became a mummy that was upside down, the inquisitors knew that the girl did not suffer because the chupacabra crashed the head of the little girl repeatedly on the ground to kill her and then take her blood.
The inquisitors decided to ask the central for reinforcements Nahuals because they are the only ones able to take care of the fortress city in the places where the troops cannot.
As soon as the body of the little one of the inquisitors approached him and used his elemental magic to burn the corpse, which burned quickly because he had no liquids and was consumed in the fire.
To avoid an unfortunate death how are the inquisitors decided to leave precautions of the city and make a curfew where no one can leave their homes after 8 at night.
The city guards were forced to go in groups of two and never alone since they already had the enemy inside the city and could not risk the lives of the troops.
In the north the ten tribes had reduced their size due to the constant attacks of the hairy beasts, the leaders were desperate to find the place promised by the shamans otherwise they would die cruelly as cattle.
The warriors were already very tired to be making holes for days without even having a rest in conditions that were too heavy even for them who were tanned in hundreds of tribal battles.
When they thought they could not walk much further in the distance they could see a city in the middle of a valley it was spacious and seemed to have a lot of life when they approached to ask for help they were surprised to see that they were received by a tribal leader.
The leader was Hanovi who was called the day before when the lookouts managed to see in the distance a giant caravan of people, because they occupied untreated skins and no type of fabric made with maguey or cotton realized that they belonged to the tribes of the north so the city commander decided to bring members of the lizard tribe and its leader to mediate with them.
The tribal leaders met with Hanovi to be able to talk to him and ask about the promised land, Hanovi looked at them "Welcome brothers and sisters to the border of the empire.
I am Hanovi leader of the lizard tribe and their guide to spending a rest in this city until you are recovering to send you to the south where you will be in a safe area. "
One of the tribe's leaders looked at Hanovi with doubt. "These white people are good or they are just wolves who hope to destroy our people while we sleep."
Hanovi shook his head "They are called Romans and they are not hostile people unless you try to attack them, they will give you food and shelter so they do not go cold and hungry.
They will also face the hairy beasts that have been following them and have attacked their tribe. "
Another of the tribal leaders was surprised "How do you know that the beasts are attacking us if we just met and we haven't said anything about that."
Hanovi smiled and pointed to the sky where a great bird was flying around the city "Our Nahual brothers yesterday investigated why you were advancing at night and could see how those beasts killed their warriors.
So that you could escape and seek refuge, yesterday a lot of those beasts attacked the city of Anguamuco and were killed by the Roman forces in that city. "
One of the leaders looked doubtfully at Hanovi "You are lying those beasts cannot be damaged, our weapons do not harm you, how is it possible that they could have killed them."
Hanovi sighed and appeared to his owl guardian who spoke with them "That is because the Romans are not normal people, they have much stronger weapons than you or us.
They have a lot of gods helping their people, even for us there is a goddess which is the conscience of our land which is pregnant and we will have the opportunity to take care of her son. "
The tribal leaders meant they had doubts but the guardians cannot lie, so they can only believe, they have no more options and their people are tired and need a rest.
The oldest tribal leader approached Hanovi and spoke to the owl guardian "Guardian the promised land the shamans could feel was the work of that goddess you spoke of."
The owl guardian looked at the old leader "Yes it is, the goddess Naturae is our guide and protector, they have nothing to fear the Roman soldiers will fight against the beasts that persecute them.
In this land called Teotihuacán, you can see how the Romans kill the beasts and after this, I will take you personally to know the temple of the goddess where you can see for yourself the power of our mother nature. "
After this, the leaders with the help of the members of the lizard tribe and some legionaries welcomed the thousands of people from the ten tribes.
Alair the commander of the city was quite worried about the number of people who entered the city, fortunately, they were only temporary since perhaps the food would not last long.
He was not worried about the attack of the beasts because thanks to the chronicles of Anguamuco he knows how to attack and what are the weak points of those beasts, it only remains to wait for the night to be able to fight with them.
The only thing that Alair regrets is that General Ascanio is not able to fight this battle but at least he is now with the great god Ares being a soldier at his command ...
