We were stil standing after almost an hour and a half of fighting. But we were getting tired, very tired. Every time I had to kill another Gaul it was exhausting to lift up my arm. I'd lost my shield, some Gaul crushed it so it became useless. They still keep coming out of the forrest. Like a bunch of ants.

"Au! Die, you stinking Gaul!", the man next to me was yelling after he was hit by an arrow. He ignored the pain and killed the Gaul in front of him.
"Men! Watch out for those arrows!"
Even when they were fighting they were listening to my orders. Every ten seconds they watched to the sky, to see if there were arrows.
They were brave, my men. They should die for me, I would die for them, we were like brothers.
"Centurion, watch out!", the Gaul that approached me from the back fell down. I hadn't noticed him, thank the gods Pullus killed that barbarian.
"Thanks Titus, I owe you one."
"No problem centurion, when do they stop coming, damn it. I promess I will offer a goat to Mars if we survive this.", another Gaul was killed bu his sword.
"We will survive this Pullus, so prepare to make that offer to Mars.", I had to laugh. Pullus wasn't as devout to the gods like most Romans. He never offered something, not even a piece of wood.
"Where stays Caesar centurion, we're loosing here!"
"I don't know Valerius, he said he would come and I still believe he will, now shut up and fight! Come on, for Rome!"
Every soldier yelled it..."For Rome!", giving everything of themself. Killing Gauls, cutting their throats, hacking and slashing in their bodies.

Another half an hour later Caesar still wasn't there.
"I think he isn't coming centurion, we're going to die here, see you in elysium."
"We aren't dead yet soldier! Not yet! As long as we're alive we will fight! So kill every single one of them! Elysium is still far from here!"
I didn't believed it for myself, the situation was hopeless. We were loosing men, good men. It was time for a last action.
"Soldiers of Rome! Regroup! Reform the line!"

Every soldier came back to the center, we were surrounded. Forming a circle with me in the middle.
"Soldiers! Friends! It looks like Caesar isn't coming, so we have to fight till dead! See you in Elysium my brave soldiers, you deserved it. And now. For Rome! Untill dead comes!"
"Untill dead comes! Attack!".
We ran into the Gauls, for our last attack. I killed one, two, three,..I didn't fell tire anymore. I was full of rage, fighting till dead came to get me. Suddenly I heard trumpets. Roman battle trumpets. I looked up for a moment and I felt a sort of relieve. The two other legions had arrived. Finally.
"Come on men! Reinforcements have arrived. Keep on fighting!"
The Gauls were routing, the battle was over. And all though we lost a lot of men, their deads weren't unnessesary.
