Ad Astra - Scipio and Hannibal - Vol. 6 Ch. 36 - To Each Their Own Cannae

Damn, so it's gonna be like that. Gaius just can't catch a break.

 

[Kireato]

I'm guessing that Gaius will have the luck of the devil. He will be away from the village gathering water while it gets burned down by the Carthaginians. He will come back to discover that war reaches even these small villages. I assume he'll go back to Rome to become a soldier.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@Kireato: Yeah. Well, it seemed too good to be true, eh?

 

[Markgraf]

The survivors of Cannae numbered enough to form two legions. They were forced to serve constantly during the remainder of the war, never being allowed to return to Rome. Scipio and Gaius are destined to be the ones to slowly grind down the Carthaginians until they force Hannibal to finally face them in Africa.

So, yeah, Gaius's reprieve from war is going to be very short-lived, unless his story takes an unusual twist, like becoming a bandit or something.

Being Gaius is suffering.

Man hope maharbal have a cruel death.

 

[iamtherealbeethoven]

F you Maharbal, I hope you die soon. There was zero reason to kill that kind old lady. Poor Gaius.

 

[ShadRaven]

Raid the village!
