As Paulinus' men make contact with the britons,

The writer tacitus describes the scene:

"The Druids lifted their hands to the heavens,"
德鲁伊人将双手高举上空
"Invoking the gods and pouring forth horrible curses."
唤醒神灵放下巨毒诅咒
"Our troops were in awe at such a spectacle.""
我军见状惊恐不已"

But if you run up against a military might like Rome,

and the next thing you know you're a conquered people.
