Pfft.
Blood splattered.
More than a dozen surrendered private guards were instantly slaughtered, completely powerless to resist.
A woman’s scream rang out.
The Vandal leader dismounted directly, entered the carriage with a fierce look, and tore apart the noblewoman’s luxurious gown with a lift of his hand. She was then pinned down like a snow-white lamb by the Barbarian Race leader, who reeked of a bloody stench.
More than a dozen barbarian personal guards laughed and stood guard by the carriage. After a while, the Barbarian Race leader ca out, roughly grabbed the abused noblewoman by her hair, pulled her onto the horse, and then rode away with hundreds of cavalry.
Only more than a dozen corpses were left at the scene, and almost all the won and valuables were taken away.
A historic scene continued to unfold. To the unruly nomadic tribes, the Roman noblewon were truly too enticing. They couldn’t hold back at all, disregarding whether they were the families of the Senate mbers or wives and daughters of local nobles; none could escape their violation and plunder.
To get them to assist in a military campaign, a price must be paid!
It wasn’t until three days later that the startled Pseudo Emperor Maximus hastily sent out a representative from the Senate. But when the trembling envoy ca out of the camp, he only wrapped in cloth a woman tortured beyond recognition, bruised all over and barely able to walk. As for the other maids and female slaves, they were probably already dead.
This was just a snapshot of where the Vandals had been. Their historical sacking of Ro was a thousand tis more brutal than all this.
At that ti, thousands of won were violated and even sold to North Africa as slaves.
The ferocious Vandal soldiers plundered Roman noble estates one by one. So impatient barbarian soldiers even molested the high-status imperial noblewon right on the streets. The captured imperial noblewon could be sold at a high price in the North African slave market then, but the price later dropped by half.
For a while, many brothels in Carthage housed noble wives and daughters captured from Ro.
By paying three or four tis the normal price, one could enjoy the tender imperial noblewon.
Although Duncan altered the course of history.
The Vandals, eager to expand their territory, were a running war machine. Believing they had the advantage of a fleet, they road the diterranean, coming and going as they pleased. Regardless of the battle scenario, it didn’t affect their plunder of Italy; they were absolutely reckless.
The sudden death of Protector of the Realm Aetius and Emperor Valentinian III, along with a Pseudo Emperor Maximus, ant nothing to the Vandals. They were utterly disdainful, continuing to seize and violate the Senate mbers’ wives and daughters. This was even after Empress Lysiniya and the two princesses were rescued; otherwise, their fate wouldn’t have been any better.
It just goes to show that the Vandals hadn’t breached the city. If a city were captured, the situation would only deteriorate.
Such devastation was only comparable to the sha of Jingkang.
It was because of this that the Eastern Roman Empire later annihilated the Vandals, completely eradicating them.
anwhile.
Duncan’s army had crossed the Po River, reaching a location dozens of miles from the capital, Ravenna.
Unlike previous wars.
This ti, Duncan was ready to wield the butcher’s knife.
The Vandals were not the Western Goths. To deal with such brutal and faithless nomadic tribes, just raise the wheels and cut them down.
If being absolute, lay the wheels flat and leave nothing alive!
