Calach stood. His anger was surfacing, and he felt suddenly seized
by the demons he had been struggling to contain. Sioltach stared at
Calach in admiration as he quickly translated his words. "Why have
you lost one legion, soon to be followed by another? Look, and see
Your soldiers are wide-eyed Roman lads, fighting beside non-Romans
who were your enemies longer than they have been your slaves. They
are bewildered by a strange and frightening land. They are bound to
you not by loyalty, but by fear, and when their fear ends, only
hatred will remain. "For all of your pomp, you have none of what
inspires men to victory. Your soldiers fight for nothing but the
glory of an empire that has crushed their own nations and tribes.
They have no wives to inspire them, and no parents to mock them
should they shrink from battle. They have no country, or if they do
it is not Rome, and it is in ruins." Agricola paled. He was certain
that he would die at the hands of this man whose spirit he could
not comprehend.
