Chapter 1258: Stop pretending
Zhang Tuohai glanced around and found that although the barbarians were ferocious, their number was not large, only a few hundred people, and it should be just a small pursuit team.
Although their numbers were several times greater than his own, it was not a problem for the Roman soldiers under his command to hold out for a while thanks to their superb fighting skills and battle formations.
It is even unclear who will win or lose.
The worst part was Sofia's side.
Although the dozen or so strong men looked brave, they were obviously good at single combat and did not cooperate with each other.
This style of theirs might give them a great advantage in one-on-one challenges, but in a large-scale battle , they can easily be surrounded and killed by just a few people.
Especially when the number of barbarians is three times theirs.
Those who had more advanced martial arts skills were given special attention and were killed in the first round.
We were already short of manpower, and now it is even less than enough.
The barbarians increased their attacks on the carriages.
What was surprising was that the strong men actually focused their protection on the box instead of Sophia's carriage.
"What is this for?"
Their abnormality aroused Zhang Tuohai's interest.
"Is the thing in the box more valuable, or is there a more powerful person in Sophia's carriage?"
Zhang Tuohai focused his attention on Sophia's carriage, around which there were only four people defending.
One of the barbarians saw an opening and rushed into the carriage.
Then there were screams in the carriage.
"That's it?"
Zhang Tuohai almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, he thought there was some unparalleled master in the car.
That’s the result?
It seems that there is a real shortage of staff.
However, this also made him pay more attention to the carriage full of boxes.
What on earth could be worth more than the consul’s daughter?
However, his main task now is to rescue Sofia.
After all, his mission was to escort Sofia, not the carriage.
Zhang Tuohai exerted force with both hands, stepped on the soldiers' shoulders and rushed out of the square formation.
When the barbarians saw someone rushing out, they raised their weapons and prepared to kill Zhang Tuohai.
But Zhang Tuohai’s newly learned parkour was no pushover. He stepped on the heads of these barbarians and rushed towards the carriage.
After three quick leaps and two slow steps, he reached the roof of the carriage.
He punched downwards, creating a big hole in the roof of the car.
At this time, inside the carriage, a beautifully dressed woman fainted, and the barbarian who had rushed in earlier was tearing off her clothes.
The barbarian heard the noise above his head and looked up in surprise.
"goodbye!"
A black shovel hit the barbarian on the head.
Bang!
The barbarian's head was smashed into pieces and his body was kicked away by Zhang Tuohai.
Seeing this, the surrounding barbarians rushed over.
Zhang Tuohai narrowed his eyes slightly and activated the copy ring.
Suddenly, several large pits appeared on the ground, and several Umbrella security guards crawled out of the pits, each holding a submachine gun in his hand.
Da da da.
Bullets flew all around.
Even an ordinary flintlock rifle would be an overwhelming advantage over the barbarians in this world, not to mention the more advanced submachine guns.
Moreover, the security guards even had grenades in their hands.
After a baptism of steel storm, all the barbarians besieging the carriage were knocked down.
Then the security guards turned their guns and attacked the barbarians who were besieging the square formation.
The security guards did not intervene much. After firing two magazines of bullets, Zhang Tuohai took them back.
However, this was enough to cripple the besieging barbarians.
The numerical advantage suddenly reversed.
"All troops move forward and quickly annihilate the enemy!"
Zhang Tuohai got out of the carriage and gave orders.
"roar!"
After hearing the order, the Roman soldiers began to change their formation, from a defensive square formation to an encircling circle formation.
Some of the slow-running barbarians were squeezed into the center and hacked to death with swords.
"Clean up the battlefield and evacuate immediately!"
Zhang Tuohai gave the order.
With the barbarian attack, the remaining people acted much faster. They immediately packed up their valuables and food and quickly broke camp.
Seeing that everything was almost ready, Zhang Tuohai prepared to go back to the carriage to see Sophia.
At this time, the two strong men who had been guarding the carriage blocked Zhang Tuohai.
"Sorry, this is Miss Sophia's carriage, you can't enter."
Zhang Tuohai raised his eyebrows, and suddenly a silver-plated scimitar appeared in his hand.
With a sweep of the scimitar, a cut appeared on the necks of the two men.
The two strong men didn't expect Zhang Tuohai to attack suddenly, and were caught off guard and killed by a single knife.
Two bodies fell to the ground.
Until they died, their eyes were still filled with surprise, and they couldn't believe that Zhang Tuohai would act so openly.
"When Sophia's carriage was attacked just now, I didn't see you guys come on the scene. Why are you trying to take credit for it now?"
A sneer appeared on Zhang Tuohai's lips.
Seeing this, the remaining strong men guarding the car clenched their weapons and stared at Zhang Tuohai in surprise.
Zhang Tuohai was too lazy to pretend anymore, so he summoned two security guards and killed the remaining strong men.
At this time, apart from the unconscious Sophia, the only one left on the field was the hundred-man team under Zhang Tuohai.
"Don't worry. These are the guardian spirits given to me by the Moon Goddess. They will only appear when I am in danger. As long as they don't do anything bad to me, they will not be attacked."
Zhang Tuohai said lightly.
Hearing what Zhang Tuohai said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhang Tuohai didn't take the initiative to attack them, it would be fine.
They had no other thoughts now, only one wish, which was to return home to Rome.
They no longer care whether you get rich or not.
"Set off immediately!"
Zhang Tuohai waved his hand and all the things in the carriage were put into his coat.
The soldiers were numb and pretended not to see anything, each busy with their own things.
Without the encumbrance of heavy carriages, the team moved much faster.
Zhang Tuohai sat in the carriage, waiting for Sophia to wake up.
When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, Sophia slowly woke up.
"Ms. Sophia, you're awake."
Zhang Tuohai said quickly.
After waking up, Sophia nervously got up, checked herself first, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's the convoy going?"
"It's very bad. We were attacked by a large barbarian army. We suffered heavy casualties. All your guards died bravely in the battle, and all the goods we were escorting were lost. Fortunately, we finally rescued you."
"Please rest assured that we will escort you to Rome."
Zhang Tuohai said earnestly.
Who would have thought that after hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, Sophia's face changed drastically and she shouted loudly: "No, you can't go to Rome!"
