Augustus Road

It seems that Hybrida is taking Adiana as a hostage in exchange for the withdrawal of Pontus troops. Although Calabis thinks that his move is not wrong, it is really harmful to morality, so he can only bite the bullet and block it at the lower level. Before the centurion: "Sir, you can't do this."

"Get out of here, brother." Hebrida spoke very politely this time. His thinking was that when Calabis was his slave, he would hit or scold him or love him, but now he is the princess. As a servant, he seems a bit uneasy about invading other people's private property.

"Officer, your and my mission is to escort the princess to Sinop. She is a distinguished guest of the legion and a relative of a Roman ally - even if the purpose is to protect her, we can only adopt a respectful attitude and resolve this matter. thing.”

Hebrida stared at Calabis for a short while, then curled her lower lip and stood still, meaning that you should figure it out quickly.

At this time, Nessa and Poti also came out of their tent in shock. They were quickly attacked by Safano and Arminius, who held daggers against their waists. Nessa screamed in panic. , Hebrida pointed at them and shouted: "Don't panic, women, you have screamed enough in daily life!" Then Calabis climbed into the carriage bravely - convincing Adiana , according to Hebrida's conditions, he is not so sure.

Suddenly, Karabis opened the curtain and shouted with a pale face.

In full view of everyone, he trembled and pointed to the carriage, "Inside, the princess of Pontus is not in there!"

Claudius, who was tied up and wearing Adiana's dress, was pulled out of the carriage by a group of soldiers. He saw the cavalry captain, Hybrida, Uteris, etc. who were still "graceful" in women's clothes. I don't know what expression to put on the person's face - why is he here, and where did she go?

Claudius, who was rescued, looked extremely embarrassed and flustered. Before he could change out of his women's clothes, he yelled that he had been kidnapped by a group of Pontic thugs in Tegresetta and stuffed into an oxcart. He didn't know anything about it.

At this time, Karabis looked at Helenputina and others. Although they were separated by masks, he could imagine the Amazon Queen's frustration. When she "rescued people", she didn't check her identity in a hurry, and she died. Tao'er.

"Your Highness, over there!" Potty suddenly pointed to a certain hillside. Calabis, who was standing on the carriage and building an awning, saw many Pontic soldiers surrounding a gorgeously decorated four-horse chariot at the foot of the western hillside. The person sitting on it was none other than Adiana. She had a unique arrogant smile on her lips. Her chestnut hair was shining under the afterglow of the sunset. She was wearing a gorgeous cloak and holding the scepter of the goddess of victory in her hand. .

On the left side of the chariot is a Pontic general wearing a Chalcis helmet and black horsehair, Mithridates' cavalry general, "The Buffalo" Taksheele;

On the right, there is a Celtic warrior with indigo tattoos on his upper body and a sword on his back, "Aibona's right hand", Biduita.

"Your Highness Adiana, your guess is correct. This small Roman army is indeed here. Since it has been surrounded by us, let's eat them as appetizers for dinner." Le requested respectfully.

"Bison, my father's army is still behind. I, Adiana, will be the one to take the lead for the time being. I have my own opinion." Adiana then waved her scepter slightly, and several cavalrymen stepped forward. She kept saying something to these people, and soon several cavalrymen, holding flags, galloped down the hillside, demanding to talk to the Romans.

"Calabis, translate!" Hebrida licked her dry lips and said with squinted eyes.

"Your Excellency, the Queen, has mercy on you. Her golden mouth tells you that the Pontic Empire's army here is as many as five thousand. It is unwise to resist." The leading cavalryman sat on the horse and raised his head. shouted, "But the reason why you are in the humiliating situation of defeat today is that you have no one to blame but your corrupt cavalry captain Claudius, who was bribed with our gold and betrayed you." Whereabouts!”

Claudius' handsome face turned pale in an instant. He trembled and explained to the angry-looking soldiers around him that this was a cunning enemy's plan to alienate people. I am the cavalry captain and the brother-in-law of the commander-in-chief and the governor, and I am now in this camp. I am the highest official and I make the decision. No one is allowed to disobey the official.

The cavalryman then shouted: "If the three envoys of Governor Malcha, your concubine's brother, are in the camp, please leave on your own, because your concubine does not want to be an enemy of your concubine for the time being."

There was a sound of horses neighing, and Helenputina nodded. She knew Greek and did not need Karabis to translate anything. Elcapa and Ella followed and rushed out of the back door of the camp. As expected, the Pontic cavalry on the hillside kept their promise and got out of the way. Soon Helenputina disappeared on the other side of the hillside. Calabis held the carriage pillar and looked at the queen's back, feeling lost. Could it be that she Leaving like this?

That's right, Calabis, in the other person's heart, you are just a "bit elf"...

"Alright, all the officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade of the Sixth Brigade of the Roman Bacchus Legion must now put down your weapons, take off your armor, line up your team, line up in a column in the camp, and walk in front of Her Majesty the Queen to express your gratitude. Surrender! Otherwise, the attack will begin in one hour." After saying this, the Pontus cavalry held the flag again, raised their hands in the direction of the camp, and then left in a hurry.

When Carabis finished translating this sentence, the camp went wild!

Almost all the soldiers expressed their determination to maintain the dignity of the legion and fight to the death with the despicable Pontic bastards who attacked them. Hebrida also fixed his armor and helmet, and said to Uterus next to him with a complicated expression: "It's sad. I didn't expect to die with you in the end."

Claudius walked over slowly with trembling steps, "Don't be silly. We still have the Pontic princess in our hands. No one should die here."

"Respected Highness Claudius, you also heard the words of that stinky girl just now. She has declared war on us and even asked us to surrender - the Romans never compromise with the enemy after the war." Hebrida said, looking at Claudius's cowardly look, and sighed, "It was a waste to bribe you with the five thousand sestis in the end."

At this time, the flag bearers in the camp had already taken their positions, half of the soldiers climbed onto the fence wall, and half of the soldiers had lined up and were ready to go out of the camp to fight to the death.

Hebrida spit twice into her palm, then swung the dagger in her hand twice, approached Nessa and Boti, who were pale, and said, "The battle is about to begin. The Roman army's practice is not to keep hostages. Do you understand?" After saying that, she gave them a look of execution, Safano and Arminius.

"Claudius! My beloved Claudius! Please be kind and don't fall into the trap of Adiana, the wild cat. She deliberately alienated us. She fooled all of us. Her goal is to kill all of us." Nessa screamed, cried and made a fuss, and knelt on the ground and cried.

And Potti's big eyes looked at Carabis in the car with horror. Carabis's chest trembled. Now Potti's only hope can only be placed on him. He didn't care what kind of grievances Potti, Nessa and Adiana had in the court of Pontus before, but Potti was just a slave girl. She herself had no crime, but the custom of the Romans was: if the master died abnormally, his (her) slave must also die, or end it by himself, or a third party will execute it, without any room for negotiation.

"Centurion Hebrida, Centurion Uterus. I am willing to see Adiana. After all, I have served her for a while. Please don't execute the hostages for the time being, let me try again!" Carabis jumped out of the car and walked in front of Hebrida.
