Laura was full of doubts and couldn't help but develop a strong interest in this Legion commander. "In the Germanic campaign, Legio IX demonstrated high discipline and tactical wisdom, successfully suppressing the local resistance forces. And in the Gaul campaign, they made a decisive breakthrough, paving the way for the expansion of the Roman Empire." Laura savored these words as if she could see the ancient Roman soldiers bravely fighting on the battlefield. According to the records, in the Germanic campaign, Legio IX showed outstanding discipline and tactical wisdom. Although the local tribal warriors fought fiercely, they were ultimately unable to stop themselves from being gradually suppressed by the tight formation and efficient command of the Roman army. In that battle, Pluto personally stood on the front line, not only successfully using the complex "tortoise formation" to protect his soldiers but also personally breaking through the enemy's line with a sword, ultimately capturing the enemy's leader.
The Gaul campaign was another climax. At that time, the Gaul tribes had formed a huge anti-Roman alliance and established a camp in a dense forest, attempting to use the terrain to resist the Roman attack. Pluto used extremely high tactical wisdom, first sending scouts to carefully observe the enemy's movements, and then using the cover of night to choose a path that the enemy did not guard against for a night raid. He led an elite force deep into the enemy's camp, successfully defeating the enemy's core forces, thereby paving the way for the expansion of the Roman Empire.
After reading these descriptions, Laura could almost see the ancient Roman soldier's armor shining in the sunlight, hear their roaring battle cries, and the sound of shields clashing. She was filled with curiosity and admiration for Pluto, the Legion commander, and felt an unprecedented sense of urgency regarding the mystery of the disappearance of Legio IX.
As Laura continued to flip through the books, she discovered a section specifically describing Cyrus (Gaius Septimus). This soldier was born into a Roman military family and was influenced and inspired by his family from a young age. He joined Legio IX at a young age and, due to his outstanding combat abilities and loyal attitude, gained the favor of Legion commander Pluto.
Cyrus has shown extraordinary courage and determination in several important battles, such as breaking through the enemy's encirclement single-handedly during the campaign of Legio IX, winning precious time for the legion. Pluto has always regarded him as his most reliable assistant, especially in the command and arrangement on the battlefield, Cyrus is often his capable assistant.
The book also points out that, although Cyrus is extremely loyal, his worldview is relatively simple, mainly influenced by traditional Roman military education. He did not have too much thought or concern about the consequences of the Roman Empire's conquest of other countries and civilizations, which also created a subtle difference between him and Pluto.
"In the year 117 AD, Legio IX disappeared in the northern part of Britannia, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day. The reasons for their disappearance have always been one of the biggest mysteries in the field of history." As for the disappearance of Legio IX, the book provides several mainstream academic perspectives. One theory suggests that Legio IX may have suffered heavy casualties in battles with northern tribes of Britannia, and then were forced to retreat, disappearing entirely during the retreat. Another viewpoint suggests that they may have vanished due to some natural disaster or curse.
After finishing this chapter, Laura felt filled with countless questions and curiosity. The mystery of Legio IX's disappearance, the subtle relationship between Pluto and Cyrus, and the awe-inspiring battles they participated in all sparked a strong interest in this legion and its members.
More importantly, all of this seems to have a deep connection with the archaeology excavation she found of the Roman military standard. She decided to delve deeper into this topic, even feeling that she might be the key person to unravel this historical mystery. A strong sense of mission filled her heart, prompting her to take immediate action to seek more information and evidence.
Laura sat in the corner of the library, her table piled with documents and notebooks about Legio IX. Her eyes were slightly dry, but she couldn't stop because she was captivated by a fascinating and perplexing question: Where did the Ninth Hispana go?
"A legion with a hundred years of history, having participated in major battles multiple times, how could it just disappear like that?" Laura muttered to herself, flipping through another history book.
This book detailed the achievements of Legio IX in the invasion of Britain in 43 AD, as well as the heavy losses suffered during the uprising led by Boudica in 61 AD. Although the legion was later partially replenished, it never seemed to regain its former power. Most puzzling of all, after participating in an expedition to northern Britain in 84 AD, the legion never appeared in any official records again.
Laura put down her books and looked out at the sky. She thought of all possible explanations: had the entire legion been slaughtered? Or had they integrated into the local society, disappearing forever into the river of history? Or, more unbelievably, had they encountered some supernatural force, trapped in a dimension or time that we cannot understand?
"There must be more to this story, and I have to find out," Laura resolved.
She came to her senses and began making some new notes in her notebook, planning her next research direction. She knew that this issue was not just an academic discussion; for her, it had almost become a mission. She wanted to unravel this mystery, not only to satisfy her own curiosity about history, but also to provide closure for those lost souls.
