Patriarchy should convey love, not violence, as the laws of Hadrian's time said

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

While Adiana and Calabis, the pair of "Calabis" who had been in trouble together, were arguing at the Temple of Diana in Sophini, the new capital of the Armenian plain, two thousand Statia away, was also in the form of a raging man. Since the King of Kings went to war with the Romans, as Queen Otpeli had said, the nomadic peoples of Mesopotamia, Syria, Arabia, and even across the Red Sea had traveled thousands of miles to this city to assemble and prepare to answer the call of the King of Kings to fight the Roman legions to the death.

Tegreseta, a civilized city inhabited mainly by Greeks and Asia Minor, suddenly became the world of barbarians, who drank and made trouble all day long, trampled the market into pastures, turned the racecourse into a hunting ground, and turned the town council into a big tent where they gambled and lodging, and they only showed off to each other how brave they were, and openly drew their swords and fought in the streets for trivial contradictions, and caused countless bloodsheds every day.

After the defeat of Sophini, he lost the Messiaro and the Nessa of Tegrenes, and drove to the city, and because of his anguish and chagrin, he locked himself in the palace on the outskirts of the city, not wanting to see any guests, and naturally he would not be with his father-in-law, the king of Pontus in the same city, Mithridates. Ubert meets.

Today, the sun is shining brightly, dissolving the cold of the previous days, on the terrace of a mansion in the center of the city, the huge Mithridates VI, with his stomach shy, leaning on the railing, with his concubine Stratonis, reading urgent letters from the Euphrates, from the inside.

"Damn, Naissa has also been captured," said Mithridates, not without gloom, hanging the papyrus under his palm, when the street beneath the mansion became noisy again—two bands of Arab warriors from the Red Sea were brought together for the sake of the Tao, and the two sides quarreled and then invected, and finally they drew their scimitars from each other, and the flash of the tip of the knife immediately filled the whole street.

The windows of the houses on both sides of the street were all crackling shut, and the wealthy citizens were especially reluctant to cause more trouble.

"Hey! If you have extra energy, you might as well leave it to me! Mithridatis, who was on the terrace, suddenly shouted at all the warriors below, who knew twenty-six languages, including Arabia.

"What did you say?" One of the Arab warriors below raised his head, slung his scimitar over his shoulder, and asked the fat Mithridates.

"I'll pay each of you three drachmas a day to be my mercenary."

The dozen or so Arab warriors gave up the fight, chattering with each other, and then bargaining: "That's not going to work, at least four a day." ”

Soon, in the courtyard of Mithridati's mansion, there was another group of elite desert warriors leading camels, sitting, croaking incessantly. "Stratonis, my dear Stratonis, I have to care, with so many soldiers, can I afford it?" Mithridates walked to the inner room behind the terrace, sat down on the couch, enjoyed a gentle massage by Stratonis, and began to worry about the finances.

"It doesn't matter, your treasury is still in our possession, the Armenians and the Romans have not found the castle, and there are eight thousand Talrants of gold and silver, enough for a year's salary for ten thousand infantry or five thousand cavalry." Stratonis reassured.

Mithridates smiled reassuringly and stroked his concubine's wrist: "Achilles came yesterday to present that the one hundred rowing boats supported by the Cyprus State are already in place. Takschill also said that 4,000 Armenian light cavalry and 4,000 barbarian infantry had been recruited. I figured it was time for me to make a move and go back to Pontus - here, and leave it to Tegrenice and Luculas to wrestle slowly. ”

"My Bixia, do you mean everyone by boat, is it a raid on Silesia?"

"Nope." Mithridates smiled slyly, "Achilles' fleet will swim in the waters of Silesia, but I will personally lead the men and horses of Takschill through the pass of Taurus and overland to Pontus. ”

"Oh, what about your son-in-law, Bixia, who has gathered a large army in this city to continue the decisive battle with the Roman legions who have rushed here. How do we get back to Pontus under his nose? ”

"Tak Schiller will go to his team, will," Mithridates Haha laughed, as if all the situation was under his control.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, accompanied by the sound of blocking and colliding, and then the door was pushed open, and Mithridates sat up alertly, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, this was not his city after all, and any danger could occur. But Zuihou, he found that the person who pushed the door and broke in was none other than his chief swordsman, Biduita, clutching his bleeding arm, his face was gray, and he stumbled and knelt in front of him.

"The Great, your youngest daughter, Adiana is still alive!"

Mithridates smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Bidita solemnly, "What about your love Bona?" ”

"It is my shame that I have left my mistress to the Romans." The tendons on Biduita's forehead were about to burst out, and she had a very painful expression.

Mithridates unsheathed his sword and threw it to the other man, "This is my sword, my soul and spirit, its name is Ottolicus (the hero who participated in the expedition of the Argo and the founder of Sinop), take it, bring your love Bona, and my daughter, no, now the queen of the kingdom of Godini, and my sister, bring it back from the Romans, there is an inside line over there that will help you." ”

"Yes, my Emperor." Biduita threw himself on the ground, lifted "Alto Licus" high with one hand, and replied.

A few days later, the clouds above the Colonel of Tresseta were scattered by the shouting: countless barbarian warriors: Arminians, Arabs, Syrians, Miti, Gaudis, Armenians, Arrakes, armor of various peoples, banners and scepters of various peoples, chariots and weapons of various peoples, all gathered under the command of Tegrenys, the king of kings on the high platform of the Grand Campus, and were willing to accept his command, and Tegrenice regained his confidence in fighting the Romans again. Because according to the statistics of the affairs officer, the military strength gathered by these barbarians is really amazing:

5,000 Armenian Janissaries;

10,000 Mithi archers and slingers;

fifty-five thousand Arax cavalry;

10,000 elite Goldini spearmen;

20,000 Syrian Hellenistic phalanx infantry;

120,000 barbarian light infantry;

thirty-five thousand servants and auxiliaries;

There were also 8,000 allied troops sent by his father-in-law, Mithridatis, led by the Pontic cavalry general Tak Schiller.

"In the plain between the Euphrates and Tigris, we will defeat the arrogant Romans, who have a pitiful army of less than 20,000 men, and dare to go deep alone and covet my new capital. We can crush our opponents like ants, and your heroic achievements will be passed down forever on this shijie along with the glory of my king of kings! On the high platform, Tegrenice roared hoarsely and waved all kinds of gestures, but the 200,000 people below were so great that they completely drowned out the speech of the King of kings.

Mithridates' army, also below, was lined up in a neat phalanx of foot cavalry, and Tak Schiller felt that his mind around him was about to be fried, and at this moment a tall giant man dressed as a cavalryman next to him said to him: "General, isn't the phalanx over there the same as that of Chalnus, King of Godini?" ”
