Chapter 294 - Hannibal, Is He Your Little Brother?

Chapter 294 – Hannibal, Is He Your Little Brother?

The thick sturdy armor was capable enough to protect the majority of the war elephant’s body.

The only weakness was directly the front of it. But, even if it was the bravest ancient Roman infantry, they wouldn’t dare to stand within ten meters of the war elephant’s front!

However, the Hard Metal Jian was the trick to counter heavy armor!

Thus, Wei Xiao Bei harvested another elephant nose. He pierced the iron rod that was his spear into the war elephant’s body!

Wei Xiao Bei was able to see it more clearly this time around, so much so that he even wanted to touch the gold particles with his hand.

Of course, he didn’t manage to achieve the wish. The cyan mist emitted from the broken iron rod appeared as though it was afraid of Wei Xiao Bei taking away those gold particles. It consumed all the gold particles in one short gulp and retracted back into the broken iron rod. When it appeared again, the gold particles had disappeared.

This time, Wei Xiao Bei sensed something. The aura of gold particle was similar to the divine aura of the Mutated Farmer’s Market but, it was much more pure and dense.

Is the gold particle really divinity?

Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. If the gold particle was actually the so-called divinity, he would be able to notice something during the status check.

For example, after Mao An Ge was taken control of by the Mutated Farmer’s Market, a strand of divinity was poured into him. In the end, the suffix of the name changed to Fake Chosen One.

But, probably because there was too few of the gold particles that there was no change on the spear.

Later on, Wei Xiao Bei killed five war elephants that suddenly rushed at him. The gold particles carried by the war elephants were all absorbed by the spear.

The officers of ancient Roman officer saw the corpses of the war elephants. Their gazes on Wei Xiao Bei contained some respect.

However, Wei Xiao Bei didn’t have the mood to greet these fellows. If he accidentally exposed his identity and raised their suspicion, it would be troublesome.

“The reinforcement is here! Reinforcement is here! The victory shall belong to Mars!”

The hollow horn sound came from the far away Barcelona city. The officers who had a stern expression couldn’t help but reveal delightful smiles after hearing the horn as they muttered among themselves.

Wei Xiao Bei turned around and took a look. The original Barcelona city that was empty before had armies of ancient Roman warriors rushing out.

Eh?

Something is different!

Wei Xiao Bei’s eyesight could clearly distinguished the difference of the ancient Roman reinforcement.

The equipments on their body were far better than this ancient Roman army!

Any single one of the reinforcement army wore layers upon layers of disks like an armadillo.

Beyond any reasonable doubt, this type of armor could defend against blunt attack much more effectively than chainmail. Also, this type of armor was invented after A.D.

In other words, the newly appeared ancient Roman army came from a far later period than the ancient Roman army next to Wei Xiao Bei!

Of course, Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t surprised by this. In a place like Dust World, never mind an army that had a difference of hundred years appearing, even if a few fellows with AK-47s appeared, it wasn’t much of an surprise.

In fact, Wei Xiao Bei had noticed this at the desert in the Dust World of Cui Hu City.

A tremendous number of ancient Roman soldiers rushed in to this direction. They all wore stacked armor with Gaul’s cockscomb helmet. The back of their body was tied with a red cape. In their left hands, they were carrying big squared-shaped shields, and in their right hands, they were holding javelins. On their waists, slightly longer swords were carried by them.

Since the ancient Roman army had reinforcements arrive, the situation should have some changes right?

Wei Xiao Bei looked at Carthage’s side. The Carthage’s side seemed to be cheering as well. Looking at the dust rising up at a distance, the Carthage’s side seemed to have huge number of reinforcement approaching.

Later, the battlefield escalated to become even more chaotic. Massive amounts of ancient Roman infantry didn’t group into the phalanx formation anymore. They rushed in and launched the javelin in their hand at the same time. After launching all their javelin, these soldiers drew their short sword out and entered the battle.

On the other hand, their officers seemed to be stronger than the officers before!

Wei Xiao Bei even noticed a few officers with big mustaches that had strength akin to a 3 Star Elite Creature. They held shields and spiked maces as they rushed into the battle.

While the Carthage’s side had armies of cavalry arrived. They were diligently flanking from left and right as they intended to surround the ancient Romans completely.

As for the catapult that launched rocks into the battle, it easily attracted a strong force of suppression!

A platoon of heavy cavalry covered with metal armor dashed toward the catapult ferociously. The enemies who attempt to block their path were all slayed.

Those ancient Roman infantry and officers who were in charge of protecting the catapult quickly came in to block them.

However, their end result was all death.

These heavy cavalries had a great cooperation. They could even control their war horses to stampede on their enemy, while the other heavy cavalries stabbed their javelin from the side or smashed their spiked mace to kill their enemies.

This platoon of heavy cavalry completely gave up using tackle to kill their enemies but adopted a more effective killing method.

They were experts of slaughter!

Wei Xiao Bei could even detect a similar aura as him from these heavy cavalries.

It was an aura that could only be emitted after killing more than a hundred people. It was hard to explain specifically, but it definitely existed.

After killing off the officers and infantries protecting the catapult, part of the heavy cavalry jumped off from their horses and started destroying the catapult.

Another part of the heavy cavalry dispersed and launched their offense to the surrounding ancient Roman infantries.

Wei Xiao Bei was one of the unlucky targets.

A member of the heavy cavalry armed with a javelin rushed toward Wei Xiao Bei.

Status Appraisal!

Since this heavy cavalrymen targeted him, Wei Xiao Bei wouldn’t be courteous anymore. He quickly used his [Status Appraisal] on this soldier.

Mago Barca?

As Wei Xiao Bei saw this name, he found it familiar. As he slightly recalled his memory, he remembered it.

Isn’t this Mago Barca the little brother of Hannibal?

Wei Xiao Bei remembered that there was this record when Carthage summoned Hannibal back from the Italian Peninsula. Mago Barca, Hannibal’s little brother, carried a bucketload of spoils of war (dead ancient Roman army soldier’s ring fingers) and returned to Carthage.

That is right.

Fuck!

Hannibal’s little brother.

Wei Xiao Bei had no slight hesitation as he turned around and left.

Hannibal in the west possessed the title of War God. Hannibal’s little brother naturally wouldn’t be weak.

Based on his status, it was apparent that his strength wasn’t weaker than Wei Xiao Bei but stronger!

The status wasn’t much. Just based on the skills and special skills, it was apparent that Mago Barca was an absolutely strong opponent!

Wei Xiao Bei chose to run away, but it wasn’t out of fear of his opponent.

Fighting hand to hand here was like courting death!

For a character like Hannibal’s little brother, the remaining heavy cavalries were most likely protecting him. When Wei Xiao Bei had a slight chance to win, the heavy cavalries would already rush in.

Moreover, after the heavy calvaries destroyed the catapults, they would besiege Wei Xiao Bei.

Those fellows most likely didn’t have the intention to fight one-on-one.

The [Besiege] skill showed this in an apparent manner.

Even Wei Xiao Bei respected the skills of these fellows.

Horsemanship (Unfathomable), Assault (Increase tackle damage by 120%, only limited to mounted), Acceleration (Speed increases when pursuing a target), Besiege (When the number of similar race is more than 3, the damage increases), Javelin (Perfection), Sword Fighting Technique (Unfathomable), Shield Technique (Perfection)

[Horsemanship] and [Sword Fighting Technique] had reached the level of unfathomable.

Based Wei Xiao Bei’s evaluation, this unfathomable should be the level after greater heights.

For the special skills, it was even more ridiculous.

Hannibal’s Honor. My god. Is this the BCE version of the quote ‘Cooperation between united brothers, Superiority to break diamond’?

[Revitalization] and [Muscle Expansion] were mediocre, but [Absolute Tracking] was basically a bug on special skill.

If someone became his target, he would pursue them to the end. As for the opposite to happen the two other heavy cavalry would need to be eliminated.

At the moment, Wei Xiao Bei turned around and ran away as the Mago Barca began his pursuit.

Seeing Mago Barca leave, two of the heavy cavalry among them who were destroying the catapults started following behind him.

What was the use of [Blood of Barca]? Wei Xiao Bei didn’t know, but he only knew that Hannibal’s family was called the Barca Clan.

Lastly, regarding Divine Blessing, Wei Xiao Bei had some understanding toward it.

It should be the effect brought by the golden light previously.

Based on this logic, the gold particles previously also had an explanation.

The whole process should be Hannibal’s prayer to a Carthaginian diety. As the divine entity answered Hannibal, he bestowed his divine power. Carthaginian infantries quickly got the benefit as their strength increased.
