Augustus Road

Before Calabis could react, the leader quickly rotated Tifo's shield half a circle, blocked another arrow, and instantly scanned the 8-shaped gap in the shield to see someone coming from the darkness. The enemy's posture: four on horseback armed with javelins, plus nine warriors on foot.

The leader pointed at Calabis who was lying on the ground, telling him to lie down in the grass and not move around. Then he pulled out a small ax with a chain from behind his cloak and drew a beautiful silver pattern in the air. The arc was like a "pop", extinguishing the flames on Adiana's car. Adiana in the car softly exclaimed, and everything around her became dark. This caused the attackers to lose a clear target. They could only move in a general direction, and since they failed to shoot Calabis and the leader, the attackers gave up using bows and arrows, but raised their scimitars and quickly Touched it.

Seeing this, the leader stepped on Calabis's shoulder again, tearing open his old injury that had just healed. The pain made him scream. With the help of this rebound force, the leader jumped up like a swift. , throwing the chain ax in his hand, an incoming cavalry howled miserably and was hit in the face. He fell upside down and fell off his horse. Another arc flashed in the night sky - the leader turned around quickly again, and The chain shook and tied the hoofs of another rider. Pulling and pulling, the rider couldn't stop and flew forward forcefully. He passed by the leader in mid-air. After a cold light, his body split into two. Cut off - from the leader's special Tifo shield, a double-headed sword protruded, like the tongue of a beast, reflecting the light of death.

The other two envoys also reacted very quickly. The tall one immediately pulled out a giant iron bar of thorns and held up a long shield in one hand, blocking the car like an iron tower. The other one jumped like a deer two or three times to the top of the carriage, pulled up the Scythian bow in his hand, and fired a few arrows in rapid succession, ignoring the dimming of vision in the dark night. The attacker, who charged like a wild boar, was shot while running and rolled down while maintaining a strange posture.

In this instant, half of the attacking team was wiped out.

"Over there!" Calabis, who was lying on the grass, suddenly saw the attacker coming from the other side and shouted. It turned out that this was a strategy to attack the east and the west.

But it seemed that it was too late. The attackers were extremely fast and had already approached Adiana's car. Ambassador Gao waved the big iron rod in his hand, and the two attackers were swept into the air like garbage. , carrying broken bones and blood. The iron-faced leader noticed the situation here and hurriedly turned around to help, but was entangled by several enemies rushing towards him. He could only fight and walk away with a chain ax in one hand and a Tifo shield in the other.

It seemed that this group of attackers had been secretly watching for a long time and had made a detailed plan.

"Calabis, Calabis!" Adiana shouted in the car, and Calabis was still lying in the grass by the stream. The old injury on his right arm had recurred, but when he heard Adiana's call, he Then he gritted his teeth and quickly climbed against the grass in the direction of the car.

At this moment, there were two or three more attackers beside the car. They were beaten to death by the tall messengers with iron rods. Blood, brains and bones were sprayed everywhere, covering the wheels and the carriage. Several of the entourage driving the carriage were either killed in the fight or trembling under the belly of the carriage. Calabis finally reached the wheel with trembling hands and was about to climb up. A sword blade came out of the car window and passed between his face and shoulder, almost killing him on the spot.

Karabis was stunned, and then the sword blade moved back and forth, moving around his cheek. It seemed that the owner of the blade wanted to pull it back with force, "Your Majesty, it's me!" Karabis He shouted hurriedly, and when Adiana pulled the sword back and thrust it out again, his life would be in the hands of this girl.

"It's Calabis. Go quickly and contact the people from the Third Regiment for rescue."

"You're just saying this now, don't you think it's too late!" Karabis roared angrily.

Then he heard the dull sound of "clang-dang" and "clang-dang". At first glance, he saw that several attackers were squatting, and from somewhere, they rolled out a huge shield cart, which was filled with short spears and sharp blades. Long, pressing forward against the tall messenger. The tall envoy leaned against the carriage and used all his brute force. The iron rod in his hand was like a windmill, hitting the shield carriage with each other. Sparks shot out, making the shield carriage unable to move forward for a moment.

An arrow slanted down and hit the face of an attacker who was peeping through the gap in the shield car. The attacker groaned and fell down. It was shot by the short messenger on the roof of the car. He then jumped out of the car like a ghost and walked around to the side of the shield car - there was no iron shield to cover there, and the arrows were all fired. In a short moment, he hid in the shield car. The subsequent attackers were shot and killed by arrows one after another.

"It's so dangerous. We're safe now." Calabis sweated. It seemed that Adiana's car was safe.

Over there, the double-headed sword hidden in the Tifo shield of the leader's messenger was ejected from the neck of the last attacker, penetrated through it, and then retracted with a mechanism. With the sound of "stab, stab, stab," the attacker covered his head. Throat, slowly knelt down, and then fell to the ground with his butt stuck out, never moving again.

The leader of the messenger tossed his cloak, put it on again, turned around in an extremely cool manner, and walked towards the safe car.

"The fighting power of these three tough-faced guys is so great! No wonder Malcha only sent three of them to escort Adiana. The three regiments are simply superfluous. Let's ask Heibrida and the others to wash the ground and collect the corpses tomorrow. That’s it.”

Thinking about it, Karapis climbed onto the carriage and was about to ask Adiana if she was injured. The leader who was approaching suddenly stretched out his arm and threw the chain axe upwards, which was the crown of a large tree above Karapis's head.

With a crisp sound, the chain axe was bounced back by a weapon and flew towards the leader's head. The leader hurriedly turned his face to avoid it, but his visor was still slashed by his own chain axe. Then he hurriedly covered his exposed face with a cloak, threw down the chain axe, and with a "click", he stretched out a double-headed sword from his Buddha shield and rushed towards the tree crown.

Ambassador Gao had already raised his iron rod and instinctively smashed it at the tree trunk. As a result, there was a strange laugh, and a black figure fell vertically from the tree canopy, right next to Carabis. Then Carabis felt a sudden impact on his chest, "It's over, I was stabbed..." He stepped back twice and fell backwards from the carriage, with Adiana screaming "Carabis!"

The figure stabbed Carabis behind the ox cart, and then pulled out the whip with one hand, hitting it loudly, urging the four oxen to run violently, and drew an arc with the other hand, forcing Ambassador Gao out of the circle, and Adiana's carriage rumbled and started rapidly.

At this time, the broken tree fell down from the waist up, just in front of the iron-faced leader who came to stop it, and a trail of dust was thrown. When the leader passed the tree trunk, he saw Carabis with a pale face, falling on the grass, mumbling to himself, holding his chest, rolling back and forth, and no one knew what he was shouting. As for the carriage of the Pontus princess, it had already run away.
