Augustus Road

The left wing of the Romans was composed of light-armed troops of the Galatians, supported by sixty Roman legionary cavalry. After Takshiler learned about the situation in detail, he promptly adjusted the direction and strength of the main attack - a thousand elite Pontic cavalry, with a short charge, pushed all the Galatians into the river, and the Roman legionary cavalry The Galatians, who were the first to turn around and flee, broke up and even disrupted the Roman soldiers encamping behind them.

Apis's face changed from calm to solemn. In this duel between time and perseverance, he could no longer hold on. If he did not make up his mind in time, three brigades, 1,600 Roman elites (1,400 infantrymen) Forty men, plus some cavalry), all had to wither away in this desperate place. He finally gave the order to "abandon the camp, alternate cover, and withdraw to the other side of the river." With the sound of whistles and horns, all the centurions understood the officer's determination: the men and horses building the camp behind put down their tools without saying a word, and He raised his dagger and shield and stepped forward to replace the brothers who had fought hard before. However, when the two groups of Roman soldiers were handing over each other, which was also the most vulnerable moment, they were attacked with all their strength by the sharp-minded Tucker Schiller.

In the middle of the night, the Roman army was defeated and retreated. They did not even have time to take away the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle. Many people fell into the river and drowned and froze to death. Except for 20 of the four Centuries at the rear who were captured, all were killed. . The cavalry of Pontus trudged across the river and prepared to continue the pursuit. However, they slowly retreated after a powerful counterattack by the three remaining Centuries from the reserve group that Apis had placed here.

When Calabis was about to report this news to Adiana, the two maids said that the princess had gone to bed and should not be disturbed.

There were Pontic soldiers running back and forth rapidly everywhere. Calabis slowly walked to the fence of the military camp. In the firelight, he saw Poti in the carriage.

Potty was sitting in the carriage, shackled, with his head tilted, his thick black hair draped, looking at him with a smile, "Calabis, are you here to comfort me? Thank you, you are such a good person. "

The soldiers guarding the area were playing a game of throwing mutton leg bones. When they saw Calabis, they all recognized him as the servant of the princess as if they had not seen him.

"Potti, I want to ask you something very important - if Adiana wants to execute you, will you accept it calmly?"

Hearing Calabis's question, Potty's face looked a little strange, "What are you talking about?" She stretched her hand out of the railing and touched Calabis's face, "Calabis, I'm a little sorry. Why didn't you two have a romantic relationship before you died? You are still a virgin. It's strange, even if you are a slave, you won't be like this. "

"I'm not a virgin, and you don't want to die either, Potty. I will do everything possible to save you. Even if I am still a slave, I will not let you die." Calabis held the railing with both hands and made up his mind. He was so determined that even the entire carriage was shaking slightly.

"Why?" Potty's tone was still surprised. She really couldn't imagine that she was just a human bomb at the bottom of the food chain in the palace battle, and Calabis, a little slave, actually wanted to save her.

"Because I want to have sex with you! Yes, I covet your vagina. I want to possess you fiercely and make you beg for mercy on my crotch! After you survive, you must be the first to agree to my condition. !" Calabis yelled with his eyes closed. This is what Adiana taught him just now. Yes, he was willing to help Poti at the beginning because he was attracted by her coquettishness. There was no need for morality. There was no need to be reserved. After shouting in one breath, Calabis's face turned red, his mouth was wide open, he was breathing heavily, and the sweat on his cheeks was dripping.

Hearing Calabis's words, the soldiers next to him whistled obscenely, and Bodi couldn't help laughing and said yes, I will serve you with all my strength.

Then, Karabis bowed his back slightly and left the carriage step by step.

At dawn, the Roman soldiers who had retreated to the other side of the river miraculously set up a camp with all the facilities. This made all the Pontic officers and soldiers feel inexplicable surprise: a team was beaten so miserably, but not only did it not collapse. However, they were able to build such a solid fortification in such a short period of time with the attitude of a defeated army.

Are the hearts of Romans made of bronze?

"A little miscalculation." After getting up, Adiana looked at the Roman camp opposite and said with a chuckle.

Tucker Schiller asked his men to present the five captured "Tongues of Fire" team flags to Adiana, "Where is the owner of these team flags?"

"They're all dead bodies," Tucker Schiller said proudly.

"Bison, the team flag and camp flag are nothing. Maybe we can do something big this time and get the eagle flag of the Roman legion." Adiana deliberately made her tone rude and straightforward to win over Tucker Schiller. The joy of the soldiers.

In the camp, Apis stood on the wooden building and looked at the Pontic cavalry galloping back and forth on the other side. His mood fell to the bottom. More than 400 people died in the battle. Most of Galaxia's servants fled, and the remaining people Almost all of them were injured. Moreover, looking at this situation, the Third Regiment of the Seventh Army that was stationed here earlier is probably finished long ago, and not even a scumbag will be left.

The only hope is that Sonagius brings the main force of the Eighth Legion to meet him here according to the pre-defense plan, and then finds a way to defeat Mithridates.

At this moment, three Bosporus envoys wearing masks came to Apis, and the leader said to him in Greek: "Since the master is now an ally of the Romans, we can help you in the battle."

Hearing this, Apis turned his head in surprise, and asked after a long time: "Are you a woman?"

"Why, who stipulates that women cannot participate in the war!"

In the evening, the first to arrive in Lycdania was Mithridates' large army of 8,000 people: when this Pontic king was in Tegresetta, he spent a huge amount of money to hire 3,000 to 4,000 warriors from various barbarians, and also liberated a group of his slaves to fight with the army. In this way, with the 3,000 cavalry sent by Taxile, the strength of the Pontic side expanded to more than 10,000 people, while Apis on the opposite side had only a few thousand people defending.

What was even more eye-catching than Mithridates' huge army was his even larger entourage, including eunuchs, female slaves, gladiators, equestrians, actors, singers, doctors, etc., hundreds of them, all wearing precious jewelry and gorgeous clothes, forming a lineup that could span the entire camp. Most of them were temporarily recruited by Mithridates after he returned here - he could never tolerate an overly cramped scene.

When Mithridates, sitting on the wide sedan chair, saw his little daughter Adiana welcoming him from below, his smile extended to the corners of his eyes, "My dear and well-behaved daughter, Zeus is above, you can still accompany me at such a difficult time, I feel very relieved."

"Father, don't you have the idea of ​​marrying me to the king of a kingdom?" Adiana said bluntly.

"Of course, as long as the situation is stable, my father will arrange it. Biduita, I praise your courage and wisdom. It is you who saved my pearl. In addition, I asked with trepidation, how is my sister Nessa?" Seeing the Galatian swordsman next to Adiana, Mithridates asked with concern.

"Unfortunately, she died in the war, and her body has been buried according to the royal standards." Biduita bowed expressionlessly and replied.
