Chapter 22 - the final stand
I got ready and I knew one thing I am on my own, and I found out, a friend of mine, Linus another fellow law enforcement officer and we stopped, and I paid him and we ran into the den of the merchant and I threw 2 spears and I impaled the guards and yes, of course the romans on the street panicked and ran off and we broke the door, and started attacking the men in there, killing off the dozens and dozens in there and during the raid, and I got hit on my shoulder and stomach and instead of hindering, I clean swept the place and sat down and I opened my backpack and applied medically cleared herbs and I healed myself, another commander of ours came in and he said " it's your very own uncle, your uncle Marcus, 9/10 officers in the law enforcement are corrupt and work for somebody, the merchant works for the Pharaohs of Egypt and its near impossible for us to get to him but there are lairs and a friend of mine, more like brother, he's also named Felix, he's hiding somewhere and get him to turn to the officer, me and we can get all access to them and hit the merchant down but we can't kill him, put him in a prison then, I knew my uncle too, he may not be with me either, me and my friend got out there and went into hiding and where uncle and his friends, 2 of them being legionnaires discussed plans with me and Linus, 3 of them in total, and we just discovered, where the commanders were hiding in fear of their lives and I with Linus went to rescue him.
And then, we found out he was surrounded by agents of the merchant and I used a silent tactic and decided to use hidden war to face him and Linus, went after one of them with the back gates and I went from the front gate it was an outhouse away from the city and I jumped from the window and I cut a Scythian Assassin only to find out it's an Assyrian, and I knocked out the Assyrian down and beat him to death and I scanned the room and the nearby rooms, on the payroll of the merchants, there were 8 people now there are 7, as I killed one of them and then I walked through the rooms and I saw 2 more dropped and Linus, 6 more hostiles left and I took my spear and threw it immediately and killed another Egyptian, I love killing Egyptians kind of yes and I charged ahead and I took my dagger out and struck in to him and there were 5 left now and then Linus found an Egyptian bow somewhere with loaded arrows and I feared my life and I found myself shaking and in tears and I took the bow, told Linus to get to the hostage officer and I will fight them and I started shooting with precision and killed 3 of them with ease.
Linus jumped at a captor and engaged in a fistfight and I shot the other guy on the leg and he fell down and I fell off the stairway and got up and speared the other captor and broke his hand and kneed him down and saw commander luces, and Uncle Marcus came inn and killed him stating the dirty officers were found and will be taken care of and it's time for the merchant to be arrested now it's Ay, granduncle of Tutankhamen, heir to the throne of Egypt and uncle of Akhenaten, the heretic pharaoh of Egypt, the mad emperor of Egypt and I said " lets finish him then " and we after him and somehow we found out of his residency, near the roman senate and we decided to ask the emperor for legions and the emperor got mad and before that set the city on fire itself, emperor Nero is 22 only and is mad, another problem on our plate now, we rushed in and began an evacuation of people, legions can't enter and he killed some law officers himself and the city fell and some sign fell on me and bricks too and I got buried under a rubble and Linus too and with the help from my uncle, I dug myself out and pulled Linus out and we got him out he was wounded and we pulled him out and Emperor Nero manically laughed and played a lyre, he was mad like anything just as mad as Akhenaten.
We ran off and got the people of Rome, the Romans out first and then ran after Ay as Linus stayed behind to rescue others there and then we just confronted Ay, visor of Egypt formerly Horusian House, and then we ran after Ay, he sounds like a Pharaoh, and we went after him, he had medjha, an elite guard to rival the Praetorian Guards of Rome, except we are now a corrupt force now and I entered the room of Ay, and an arrow whirl passed me and I sidestepped and the elite medhja attacked and I got down and I wheezed in a table and into another room and I jumped into another medjha and the floor cracked up and we both fell down and I realize that I was actually on the ground floor and I fell on the top of a lot of medjha, a lot of medjha and I killed them all before they could get up and they were dark and brown skinned I am brown but a little lighter as well my father was a Gaelic chieftain and my mother, a lady of a rich household and I am at least part Gael and part Roman, I often tan my skin fair but anyways my father taught me how to fight and I threw a dagger at the heart of another one of these elite and knock another one down and there were more and I hid into a cupboard and navigated though the room and I saw one of them next to me and I attacked him and took him down hard and I kicked the other medjha into the furniture and nailed him, and now only 3 left.
And then I took my spear and went out looking for recruits I mean remaining ones left and a sudden attack pulls me down and I kick to the gut the medjha off me and then I took a knife and then I kicked him down and ran through him and a mirror broke and he kicked me and I fell on the table breaking it in half, roman furniture man, one can't afford it and I saw a plate and I hit him by throwing it at him, straight at his head and he goes down and I stomped him again and I saw another roman and 2 more came also romans and I embrace myself and saw another door and run off or rush off to there and closed it behind and pushing tables before they can get after me and I finally saw Ay, the merchant and he had 2 more of them Assassins, and 4 more behind me and I took my hidden knives and as one of them ran after me, I knee him and pulled the knife down on him and then I threw another hitting someone's knee and another dagger hit ended the assassin and 2 on front and 2 on back and the front 2 ran up to me and I took my gladius and hit one in the knee and was taken down and I am not an assassin but I trained with some and I took another knife out from the ground and into the knee and another hit in the jawline ended now only 2 remain and I saw them round me up on both sides and I knew which ones going to charge and when and I sidestepped and the 2 clashed and I picked my sword up and I charged at them both and struck 1 dead and the other wounded and I gave him mercy and then confronted Ay.
And I said " you are hereby, under arrest or charges of murders, running illegal taverns, poaching and corrupting law enforcement officers, trafficking of roman children or the children of Rome, illegal conspiracy with the Senators against our Emperor Nero and of the secret invasion of Rome and are now guilty by death, seemingly you look as like you haven't reached the maturity or final part of life and at such a young age but crime is committed, and sentence is death or how about a gladiator contest and he charged and I pushed him off the ledge and killed him as he fell to his death and the gates opened and the romans disappeared and I got down, the commander was ready with medals of honor and my uncle was promoted to commander and dirty officers were given a chance to do good and fight for the country at the borders of Germania, Gael and Anatolia now plus Briton and Ireland whereas I will go upfront in war against Assyrians they are too stubborn to die and Babylonians with Hyksos who have established their control in Thebes and I was told to fight with the Praetorian Guards, Roman Legions, The Auxiliary and the Law Enforcement, to the borders of Rome and allies.
