Chapter 53 - Romulo Wall

    Right in the morning, he devoted himself to reviewing the body of the shaman in the found something quite interesting seems to be that it has the same functionality as the nahuales this quite surprised the members of the inquisition and scientists.


    "It seems that my uncle/brother Poseidon will be surprised by these species" said vio while he saw the corpse.


    The count of dead and captured surprised vio was 10,000 captured Caribs and 5890 dead, the leaders said they were a shock force that they expected to attack when we arrived but as we arrived before there was only the night attack but with the death of the shaman leader they lost the faith.


    vio understood that these attacks could possibly be repeated even though the tribes arepletely divided if one is not careful, attacks like this one can ur because these are not tribes but leaders whomand volunteers.


    That is why having intelligence is even more important, vio decided to bring scouts on horseback, unlike the continent where they are forbidden to use them because they can fall into bad hands in Cuba this risk is small because it is an ind and the scouts’ horses they are all males even if they are captured they will not be able to reproduce them.


    The Roman cavalry of explorers upy arms and light armor such as the saber and cotton clothes, they do not use anything else except the sergeants who have a flintlock pistol for use in case of emergency.


    vio ordered them to map and review the perimeter to look for possible attackers like those of the night, the advantage that they do not have a horse is that they have to run and even if they run they will not be able to advance more than 20 or 30 km a day and beingpletely exhausted therefore having a revised perimeter of 50 km is more than enough for the preparation of troops for defense.


    Another thing that vio did was to create fortified Watchtowers every kilometer where they had a fire that sent an attack was on and alerted the other Watchtower, for its construction the newly captured ves were upied if the Romans are good at using it. and train ves.


    Thanks to the 10000 ves the construction of the watchtowers and the roads were without problems in only one week the trees of the coast were cut except for the coconut palms that vio dered as a strategic tree.


    Meanwhile on the coast began to arrive small boats with materials for both use of the army and for the construction of the port, the person in charge of this work was the architect Marco one of the men of confidence of vio since he met him in Emerita Augusta.


    He quickly began to order the ves and artisans "Move those woods you have to build the crane to load the cement pirs for the construction of the port"


    For the construction of the port 3 cranes were upied that moved the pirs to the water once ced part of the port is built, when that part is finished they are dismantled and they move again to the edge of the construction of that form they are built continuously.


    They brought the pirs and made them unloaded from ships and were ced on the coast, therger the pir was only made with geometric shapes so that once they joined did not move for any reason, of course using a bit of cement to seal them.


    The cavalry proved its worth during two attempts of attacks by Caribbean shaman leaders but even with their divine blessings they could not do anything about an army with muskets and crossbows perfectly amodated when their leaders died the Caribs wanted to flee but the cavalry caught them in the way.


    Also, the inquisition in these battles participated to have better tactics against the shamans and their divine energy, the elven snipers proved to be definitive weapons against the shamans because no matter how hard they had a well-aimed lead bullet it was enough to blow the top of their skulls.


    In just one month of the campaign, vio conquered the first 100 km on the coast, did not want to get into the mountains because of the danger it was to be in it if the ce was not known.


    Therefore began the construction of awork of forts that will surround a total of 16 km, once built will be joined by a brick wall this will be the first wall built therefore called the wall of Romulus in honor of the founder of Rome.


    This wall will delimit the limits of the city of Magna Caribe, vio did not want to go to increase its troops because it has to divide the legion in two and keep garrison in the watchtowers.


    Fortunately, of the two previous failed attacks, 15k ves added to the previous 10k were added to 25,000, thisbor guarantees that the Rómulo wall will be built quickly.


    In the meantime, new Mayan recruits were being brought in daily from the continent, seekingnds to serve the empire and with them, their families arrived, therefore the workforce continued to grow and it was brought from Origin Civitatem asphalt for the construction of roads quickly.


    The rapid construction and guidance of vio helped that the Romulo wall waspleted in just 2 months forcing the ves to work 24/7 in shifts was not left to build even a single day, because it was not a rainy season the cement Used it dried quite fast the wall had a height of 4 meters and 3 of width.


    Each kilometer had a tower with a ballista and 15 permanent guards every 500 meters there were a barracks that dispatches troops that crossed the kilometer of the wall that was of its defense the barracks had about 300 guards in charge of the defense of its perimeter also had cavalry of messengers to ask for help if necessary.


    There were only 3 doors on the entire wall, the first at kilometer 3 and another at kilometer 9 and another at kilometer 15, each of these doors had a military city behind, the doors were suspension bridges that prevented emergency could be lifted.


    A 2.5-meter-deep moat was built outside the wall and covered with bricks to create an artificial channel fed with seawater to prevent direct attacks on the walls, while on the coast on both sides they became small watchmen who had the mission of caring for canoes that will try tond by winged.


    When vio myth the wall was proud of this could put its strength in the conquest of the capital of the province the ind of youth unlike this part of Cuba will conquer using cavalry to take advantage of the t terrain of the ind.


    vio looked towards the horizon and pointed his finger "Amalivaca I will conquer Cuba, then Jamaica and espa? with those big inds your people feed an empirecking in manpower, what follows is the war of extermination ind by ind looking for your people until it ispletely in the hands of the empire "...
