Augustus Road

Finally, the tent opened, and Adiana came out, wearing the little crown of his mother Monimee! The beautiful combed chestnut hair reflects the splendor of the crown, and the crown reflects her elegance and nobility. With her slender neck, slightly raised forehead and small nose, she is not the wild cat in Nesa's mouth at all, but It is a beautiful and proud swan. "No wonder she kept talking about the crown and learned sewing from me. It turned out to be for this purpose, to repair the broken girdle. But how did she know that the crown was hidden in Battita by Hebrida?" In Si's tent - yes, yes, it is indeed the safest to hide precious treasures under the mattress of a disabled person. Hebrida can think of this, and Adiana can also guess this. "Calabis sighed secretly in his heart.

"How, a princess's identity can only be revealed by a crown. A crown will never choose the head of a humble person." Adiana, standing tall, spoke word by word to everyone present, and then Pointing to the crown with his slender fingers, he said, "This is my crown." Then he raised his other hand, holding a bloody axe, "This is my scepter."

"Damn...Batitas!" Safano finally reacted and rushed into the tent with Demetrius. Batias's body was covered in wounds from sharp axes. , even the bed under him was chopped into pieces, and his whole body fell into the gap between the two broken bed heads, showing a terrifying sitting posture, with bloody rags and quilts flying everywhere. All.

"This dirty Roman soldier dared to desecrate my mother's body when he was in Calabi's palace. I just executed him with a scepter. This military tribune named Claudius, I don't think you will have anything." Dissatisfied." Adiana explained calmly.

Claudius laughed dryly and said: "Everything has to wait until the coach arrives before we can decide. I have already sent someone to notify him." Then he patted Heibrida on the shoulder and asked, "I'm very worried." I’m curious, a crown of this level should have been handed over to the governor during the battle at Karabi Palace, why is it here now?”

"Please put in a good word for me, Your Excellency. I really don't know who is hiding there!" Hebrida's voice actually trembled.

"Everything has to wait until the coach arrives before we can decide." Claudius smiled and copied that sentence.

After a while, Luculas came here wearing the consul's robe with purple piping on a white background and surrounded by his followers holding "fascist" beam sticks. He was obviously in a good mood, but Hebrida was frightened. Yes, Murilla and Uteris followed him with gloomy expressions and murderous intent. Obviously, if one was deceived by him, and the other was tied to a tree by him and blown by the night wind all night, he would definitely not be in a good mood.

When Luculas came, Claudius immediately stepped forward to express his welcome, but Luculas only responded coldly, saluted Nessa and Adiana, and then said in fluent Greek: "I have learned very detailed information about the noble Mitra family from Tyranion, and I believe that both of you are telling the truth - together with Your Majesty the Queen, this crown of yours is enough to show your identity. , absolutely unique. I declare that from now on, you two will be the guests of the Legion and enjoy the treatment of VIPs."

"Thank you very much for your kindness!" Nessa hurriedly made a sweet voice. She wanted to win the favor of the Roman commander before Adiana. This was a habit.

"He is also a prisoner and hostage of the Legion, isn't he?" Adiana responded.

Luculas smiled kindly and said, "The army has its own rules. I hope Your Majesty the Queen can understand."

"I would rather let this senseless war be forgiven by the world. Now that my father has lost his country and army, he is just a poor old man living in his son-in-law's country. Why is the Governor still unwilling to resolve this dispute? , return peace to the two peoples?”

Just when Nessa was about to scold Adiana for her rudeness, Luculas replied neatly: "Yes, I need this war to continue, because when I return to Rome in three years, I will be fully loaded with goods. Honor won the applause of the senate and citizens in the great triumph."

"But you know, the humiliating years I spent in your army are not meaningless. Through observation, I am sure that your centurions and soldiers are not interested in your dream." Adiana still refused to give up.

Luculas looked around, seeing all his generals and soldiers, and then whispered quickly to Adiana: "A true noble will not ask about the dreams of the lower class." Then Gao Gao He ordered in a voice: "Today is an auspicious day. Not only did we defeat the Armenian army, but we also won two distinguished guests. Now is the time for the banquet - God bless Rome!"

Everyone present drew their swords and shouted, "God bless Rome!"

After saying that, Luculas led Adiana and Nessa away in a graceful manner. Claudius also winked at Hebrida and followed with Murilla and other generals.

Uteris stood there with a livid face, and several "fascist" followers also stayed, standing beside the senior centurion.

"Your merits cannot offset your sins. You are finished, you are finished, Hebrida, you veteran **, I have said before that you will definitely be finished!" Uteris said viciously and excitedly He said, holding up the silver ring to Hebrida, "You actually dare to despise this symbol that represents the status of the legion, and deceive your superiors with the sound of the trumpet. General Murila issued a disciplinary decision and gave him thirty military sticks. After working naked for three days, he was stripped of his position as a centurion and demoted to an auxiliary."

Hebrida remained silent. What he was really worried about now was that if Adiana revealed the secret of his secret crown at the banquet, he would really be exposed in front of all the centurions of the legion, or Those whose throats were cut or smashed to death!

Two fascist retinues pushed Hebrida to her knees, and Safano, Arminius and other subordinates formed a circle with helpless expressions. The other two servants stepped forward, peeled off Hebrida's armor, tore off the identity symbolizing ornaments on his chest, and threw them on the dirt. Then these things were stepped on by the servants holding the beam-- -The four men each took out a stick from the bundle and struck hard on Hebrida's back, one after another, with the sound of being slapped on the flesh.

"One more!" Uterius ordered when he saw the stick was broken, "One more... Now you are no longer a centurion, you are free, and you can plunder as much as you like. , isn’t this exactly what you want!”

But Heibrida was really tough. Her face was covered with sweat in pain and she didn't say a word.

"Slave, get out of here. You have no right to watch Roman soldiers being punished." When Arminius saw Calabis and other camp slaves coming to watch, he pushed Calabis back and threatened him. road.

"This time it's a punishment with a stick. Next time I hope to see you punished with the ax inside the stick!" This was the last word of Uteris that Karabis heard.

Then Uteris pushed through the crowd and saw Calabis. He actually beat his chest affectionately and said, "Calabis, you are a good and capable slave, but you don't have to follow that mourning dog in the future. , just follow me." After that, he walked away in a hurry!

Looking at the eyes of Hibrida who was kneeling on the ground and wanted to eat people, the hairs on Karabis's back stood up, "Uteris, Uteris, I can understand your joy after seeing your opponent's misfortune, but don't let it go by the way. Wanna get me involved?"
