Back

I have to admit I am feeling a bit scared. Here we are standing quietly in line waiting for the battle to start and the noise from the huge Celtic army is so loud. Still when I remember the governor's words about us being the best soldiers in the world and to remember all those years of training I feel better. I have been praying to our Roman Gods to keep us safe.

Here come the Celts! We will not move though and I am determined to do my job well. See they cannot break through, just like the governor said. This is better, the Celts are falling back now and we are moving forward pushing them back. Our cavalry is charging them and they are running. This will be a great victory for us and I will have my share of the glory. I have to say I feel a little ashamed at our last order to take no prisoners. We have to kill everyone, including the women and children. The governor says that we must teach these Celts never to fight against us again. I suppose he is right, anyway it's an order and I must obey.
