"What should we do? What can we do now? They're really going to attack the city!!"
"What else can we do? Close the city gates and defend!"
Realizing that Lin Tian's army was truly going to attack their city, these people of the Roman Empire panicked.
They began to mobilize their troops urgently, hoping to defend the city with their forces.
At the same time, they wanted their soldiers to quickly close the city gates, denying Lin Tian's army any opportunity to attack.
However, their intentions were noble, but reality proved to be quite different from their imaginations during the actual engagement.
They reacted swiftly to Lin Tian's army's attack, but they hadn't practiced defending a city in a long time, and their orders were rushed.
This resulted in Lin Tian's army approaching the city gates before they could even close them, let alone organize their troops to block Lin Tian's advance.
This situation led to dire consequences.
Lin Tian's army easily breached the city gates and entered the Roman Empire's territory.
Furthermore, Lin Tian's army was not known for its mercy.
Upon entering the city, they immediately began a brutal slaughter.
Every single soldier of the Roman Empire fell before their might.
Especially at this moment, when the Roman soldiers had picked up their weapons.
Under these circumstances, Lin Tian's army naturally showed no quarter.
A frenzied massacre unfolded before the eyes of the Roman Empire's people.
This was a turn of events they had never anticipated.
It filled them with anguish and instilled deep fear.
"They've gone mad! They actually dared to attack us! They dared to attack the Roman Empire!"
"We must report this to the Pope, to the Emperor, otherwise, everyone will dare to trample on the prestige of the Roman Empire!"
"Yes, this must be reported. Otherwise, they'll march all the way to our capital! Quickly, quickly send this news!"
For the Roman Empire, an attack on their city was an extremely serious matter.
After all, the Roman Empire had long been invincible, and all its enemies held them in awe.
In such a situation, for someone to dare attack a Roman city was a massive provocation.
The Roman Empire naturally demanded severe punishment for those who dared to provoke them.
Therefore, many among them decided to report the incident.
Even if they died here, this matter had to be reported.
With this resolve, many Roman soldiers desperately charged outwards.
They had decided that no matter how the enemy blocked them, they would get this message out.
As for defending the city, they were no longer able to.
The fate of this city and its soldiers now rested entirely with destiny.
If they could survive and await the Roman Empire's reinforcements, that would be fortunate.
Even if they couldn't survive, it didn't matter. As long as they conveyed the message, someone would avenge them.
With this mindset, the soldiers of the Roman Empire were ready to risk everything.
Lin Tian, however, did not deliberately obstruct the Roman soldiers who were charging out.
He knew that those who were rushing out were doing so to inform the Roman Empire.
Once they were outside, they would relay everything that had happened here to the Roman people.
Including the fact that Lin Tian's army had arrived within the Roman Empire and attacked one of their cities.
Once this news reached the Roman Empire's strongholds, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar.
It might even provoke a large-scale retaliation from the Roman Empire.
At that point, Lin Tian's army would face an overwhelming force.
However, Lin Tian's army had not come here for comfort.
They had come here precisely to wage war against the Roman Empire and conquer it.
Since that was the case, Lin Tian had no reason to shy away from war.
On the contrary, he even anticipated the Roman Empire gathering its forces and attacking them proactively.
This would save Lin Tian a lot of trouble.
He might even be able to annihilate the Roman Empire's main army in one fell swoop.
This was precisely what Lin Tian would welcome and be pleased to see.
Therefore, letting those Roman soldiers escape was not a disadvantage for Lin Tian, but an advantage.
Meanwhile, the Roman Empire's people were unaware of this, still desperately trying to break out, as if any delay would lead to fatal danger.
Seeing their soldiers successfully break through, the other Roman soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratified.
"You can be arrogant for now, you can win this round. When our army arrives, all of you will go to hell to accompany our fallen soldiers!"
"Hahaha! Don't get cocky. The Roman Empire is not a place for you. By coming here, you have sealed your own doom!"
"Alas! What bad luck, to die at the hands of these ignorant people. If they had only known our Roman Empire's might, they wouldn't have dared to attack us so rashly, and we wouldn't have fallen to them!"
At this moment, these Roman Empire people still believed that Lin Tian's army was ignorant of their empire's power and had never heard of their reputation.
Therefore, they thought that was why Lin Tian's forces dared to attack them and their city.
This kind of death felt incredibly frustrating to these Roman Empire individuals.
However, after they spoke these words, Lin Tian responded.
"You are still too naive. Do you really think we don't know this is the Roman Empire?"
"I tell you very seriously, I came specifically for your Roman Empire!"
"And, I regrettably inform you, your Roman Empire will soon have a new name!"
"We are here this time to rewrite the history of your Roman Empire!"
Lin Tian's words stunned everyone in the Roman Empire.
They had initially thought that Lin Tian and his people were mere clowns who were unaware of the Roman Empire's might, and their arrogance was just a fleeting moment.
But Lin Tian's words immediately made them realize that Lin Tian had come to the Roman Empire with a clear purpose.
Furthermore, he harbored absolutely no fear of the Roman Empire.
