When you think about the Roman Empire

It's incredibly frightening.
真是让人胆战心惊
A system that could create the best army in the world,

The idea that a system like that can fragment and break apart...

And you're stuck and trapped inside this city,

You can't run, you can't hide,
跑也跑不掉 藏也藏不了
You can't defeat this force.
你也无法与这股势力抗衡
They will rape,they will pillage and they will plunder.

They're educated and skilled in warfare,

Thanks to the Romans.
这还要归功于罗马人
