Chapter 4 The Flame of Amisus (Part 2)

Lepidus was awakened by Hebrida's cheerful ridicule. He opened his eyes, walked to the side of the carriage, and saw an eye-catching scene.

The entire Amisus was trembling as it burned, and the resistance inside seemed to have been completely shattered. Soldiers from the 7th and 11th legions were densely lined up all over the mountain slopes to the flat ground under the city wall, and the sounds of curses, protests and threats were like huge waves.

In the light of the fire, the commander-in-chief Luculas was riding the white horse, and the six followers beside him were holding the eagle flag and the faucet of France and Situs, and kept beating the ground. It seemed that Luculas wanted all the soldiers to remain silent. , but few soldiers bought it, and many centurions and soldiers even began to argue and push each other.

"Haha, Luculas, you rich man, just feel the anger of the soldiers!" Hebrida looked completely gloating.

"Soldiers, Amisus, this city with a long history and favored by the gods is struggling in the flames. We need to save its temples and its people. Soldiers, temporarily put down your lanterns and torches, and temporarily contain it. If you want to make a fortune, like a Roman who truly sympathizes with the weak, give this city grace and help!" Luculas waved his arms and loudly persuaded his troops. But those dirty and greedy veterans were not moved at all. They collectively knocked on their shields with their daggers, quickly covering up the sound of the servants knocking on Faxius, expressing their dissatisfaction and contempt for the commander's orders.

Hebrida kept chatting from a distance, as if Luculas could hear his dissatisfaction, "Why, why, such a rich city, because of your stupid idea, does not let the legion soldiers get involved? ? A rich man like you, who owns countless villas with gardens and fountains around Rome, certainly doesn’t understand the desires of soldiers. You deserve to find yourself in trouble! Maybe one day you will end up with the same fate as your predecessor!"

When the low-ranking centurion saw Lepidus standing aside, he also shouted: "Why, are you even dissatisfied with such a hypocritical person? He, Luculas, is the richest man in Rome, and now he doesn't Let the soldiers get the one hundred or two hundred drachmas they deserve." Before Lepidus could answer, Adiana walked up to them wearing a blanket and said sarcastically: "The untouchables and slaves will kill them. Those aristocratic virtues that stupid minds cannot understand are dismissed as hypocrisy - he is Luculas, right? He is a true Roman warrior and a worthy opponent. "

Hebrida turned her head, opened her mouth to "Karabia", and said for a long time, "Maybe I should fuck you that night."

"Centurion, your dirty thoughts have made you fall deeply into crime. One day, you will get the punishment I deserve." Adiana did not give in at all.

Lepidus had no intention of listening to the two men's words, because he saw that Luculas's efforts to prevent the legions from plundering had obviously failed at this time. All the soldiers, whether they were the Seventh Legion or the Eleventh Legion, whether they were the Roman Legion or The Latin Alliance legions howled with excitement, ignored the commander's orders, and rushed into the burning city of Amisus with torches in hand - Amisus became the second Kabia. , this seaport city was still smoking thickly on the second day. The looters completely lost order and good sense. Instead of putting out the fire, they set fires everywhere, chopped down any residents they could see, and looted any shops. , even the bronze ship capitals from the ships docked at the dock were smashed down and regarded as trophies.

In the evening of the next day, a heavy rain poured down in time, finally extinguishing the fire in the city and preventing the complete destruction of Amisus.

In the rain, Lepidus held up the blanket and covered it on the sill of Hebrida; then, he returned to the elm tree. The rain was pouring down with no intention of stopping, dripping down along the dense leaves. The stretcher The world around Demetrius became a world of mud and dirty water. Li Bida kept wiping the rain off his body with his hands, fearing that his wound would become inflamed, because once inflammation occurs, in this era, it will only be death.

"I am a Galilean, I know Greek, I can write, I can keep accounts - when I was in Aeolia (the northwest coast of Asia Minor), many wealthy Greeks paid two thousand drachmas a year. Pay a high price and hire me as a tutor - I could have... If there hadn't been a damn war, if the damn Romans hadn't come..." The Jewish slave seemed to be in a fever, and kept As he spoke, his wet hair stuck to his forehead in a mess, and a terrible red color appeared on his neck and cheeks.

"Stop talking, save your energy." Lepidus said with relief on one side, and then he saw Adiana still sitting under the tree, and Poti on the other side held up a blanket as a tent on the head of the Pontic princess. In order to prevent her beautiful chestnut hair from getting wet, Lepidus couldn't help but feel a little resentful at this time - this was unimaginable in the slave thinking two thousand years ago, but a few days ago, he was still a college student who liked to be serious and angry. , even if the current identity has changed slightly.

"You should give the blanket to Demetrius, it might save his life!" Lepidus asked suddenly, which not only shocked Poti, but also surprised Adiana, but she still retained her grace. , just glanced at Li Bida with disdain, and then still retained her unique aristocratic demeanor.

Suddenly Adiana screamed, for Lepidus walked up to her, roughly pulled off the blanket from her head, and handed it to Demetrius. "You despicable... how dare you..." Adiana was in a panic and couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Lepidah's behavior was beyond her expectation, and she could only be angry. Shivering all over, he and Li Bida pulled up the blanket. Bodie on one side was so surprised that he covered his mouth and didn't know which side to help.

The winner was soon announced. As a man named Lepida, his strength surpassed that of the petite Adiana. With a push and a shove, Adiana fell into the muddy water, and Hebrida's shouts appeared in her ears. The voice said, "Haha, I told you before, there is no need to be polite to Greeks, no matter men or women. Karabis, now you should fuck this stinky girl Karabia under the elm tree and in the rain. , wonderful. Master, I am just watching the wrestling show. Come on, I authorize you to fuck this girl!"

With red eyes and heavy breathing, Lepidus held up the blanket and forced Adiana to come over. When the other party heard Hebrida's words, she couldn't help but be full of fear, like a noble but pitiful Persian cat, staring helplessly. eyes, "You, you, Calabis, can vent your desires on Poti, but you are not qualified to touch me, because I am a noblewoman of Cappadocia."

"Shut up!" Lepidus shouted, interrupting Adiana's statement, and then he continued in a low voice, "Don't think that you are still a noble lady, princess. You are now in despair, mixed with slaves, It would be better if you put away your bad style earlier." After saying that, Lepidus shook the water droplets from his hair like a wild animal, splashing Adiana all over, but she didn't dare to say anything. Then Lepidus turned around and put the blanket away. Wrapping it carefully around Demetrius, "Potti, find him some food and get some firewood. I don't think this rain will last long."

"Alas." Potty responded subconsciously. When she saw the angry princess still sitting in the muddy water, she just kissed her arm and flew away.
