Plot Summary
Estacado wakes up in a mass grave, with a spear, punctured through his chest. As the sun sets, Estacado heals his wounds and leaves the mass grave. In the woods, he comes across two Roman soldiers. One of the soldiers jokes about raping woman with the other finding it distasteful. Before the first soldier can call his companion a faggot, Estacado sneaks up on him and rips his head off, much the horror of the second soldier. Estacado then proceeds to walk into the Roman camp and enter the Legatus tent. After seeing Estacado alive, Legatus figures that his soldiers killed his two twin brothers instead of him resurrecting himself like his soldiers started to believe in.
Legatus finds Estacado's chief actions to be desperate, believing that he was sent here to scare them into surrendering after they already killed his two brothers. Estacado tells the Roman army leader, that he doesn't want any bloodshed. Legatus finds him hard to believe as he killed four of his men in the past five minutes just to get to him. Estacado corrects him, saying that he only killed three and let one go. He then gives him a proposition, leave now and they won't kill them all. After taking some time to consider his words, Legatus sends his soldiers out of his tent, so he could have one on one talk with Estacado. Legatus reveals to Estacado, that both this Legion and the entire Roman Empire is doomed and their future is not theirs anymore. He then expresses, that even if they leave these lands, they heads will roll for this action. And that's if they make it back as there are a lot worse tribes than his out there.
With neither of them backing down, Legatus orders his men to let Estacado go.
