He and his slave travel to north to recover the Eagle after hearing that it was in the northern part of the wall.

Then they met one of the survivors of the Ninth Legion. The survivor relates the battle of the legion versus the tribesmen. He told Marcus that the Eagle was taken away by the northern tribe. The tribesmen caught Marcus and Esca, Esca was welcomed by the tribe because he was identified as one of them and claimed that Marcus was his slave. They went to the cave to get the Eagle and killed the tribesmen master. They fled south but the tribesmen were chasing them. Marcus was slowed down because of his wound on his leg and asked Esca to take the Eagle back to Roman. Esca refused and asked help from the survivors of the Ninth Legion. When the battle between them and the tribesmen ends, all tribesmen warriors were killed. All the survivors including Marcus and Esca returned in the Roman territory and gave the Eagle to the Roman Commander.
