Then, Adiana pulled her hair and walked to a beautiful tent, where two maids whispered to her, "The wound on the Emperor's thigh has begun to fester. Adiana replied, "Who is with my father now?" ”

"There are only a few eunuchs."

Adiana hummed, and walked in, with a gentle smile, knelt down in front of Mithridates and kissed the back of her father's hand, and the king of Pontus curled up on it like a lion that had lost its claws, his face dark and gray with pain and defeat, "Good girl, I heard that you have taken in many of Pompey's deserters. ”

"I need them to help me train the new model army in the queue and tactics."

"No wonder my Bronze Shield Army has been squeezed out of the core of the army." Mithridates complained, consciously or unconsciously, "These eunuchs and attendants have also changed their unfamiliar faces. ”

"Because you need to recuperate, father, familiar people always take up your precious time to catch up with you." Adiana affectionately tucked Mithridates' clothes.

"What about Stratonis, she hasn't been to see me in a long time, you won't poison her quietly, will you?"

As if hearing a funny joke, Adiana laughed and said, "How so? She still has the keys to the vault, and six thousand Tallerts of gold and silver, all guarded by her armed servants, and how can I poison her? ”

"But after I die. You're going to kill her. Definitely. ”

"Then father, you must kill her sooner. And her people, because everyone knows that I will definitely kill her in the future, so this lowly woman from a singer's background, in order to save her life, will definitely take gold and silver to Pompey. Father, if you give me these six thousand Talents, I can revive the great Pontic Empire and make you King of kings. ”

"Ben can't stand again. I've fought all my life, and now I'm just trying to make a decent peace, but the Romans don't want to give me that chance. Mithridates muttered to herself, "My thoughts now are all wild fantasies, just to have something to do in the war, to deceive these men and servants who continue to follow me. Those jihuas of mine, even the Romans would not take it seriously, around the Bosphorus, to Thrace and Macedonia? Hear this. Luculas would have been in his country villa, with a branch of the vine. Drawing my march route on the sand, followed by hahadaxiao's "

Seeing that her father had no fighting spirit and no improvement, Adiana decided to let him rest, so she took out the burning oil lamps one by one, and the whole tent was gradually covered with a light veil of dimness.

In the bay of Tarlinton, with hundreds of ships on their masts, surrounded by broken clouds of seabirds, and the shore was full of white tent camps in the form of a checkerboard, and the heavily armed Calabis stood before the main gate, "Pritori", with priests and sergeants holding cinnamon sticks standing at its side.

"I have declared myself to be separated from the world, and from now on my idol is only Mars, and I have made a pact with him in the camp that I may plunder more of the enemy's livestock, men and women, and let the enemy's sword escape me. I, Calabis. Gao Nerlius. Marcos F, hereby pledges his loyalty to the Thirteenth Legion of the Lightning Throwers, and fights until the breath of Zuihou. After taking the oath of camp, Calabis stepped into the main gate, and he saw the camp of his 10th Brigade, which was originally in the 2nd City Legion, with the 4th and 11th Brigades, but now the Two City Corps mixed all the reserve veterans and the recruits who performed well in the counterinsurgency war into the new "Lightning Thrower" 13th Legion, and his two brigades were also merged into one, that is, the 10th Brigade of the 13th Legion.

During the battle, the 10th Brigade was usually located on the far left of the second column on the left flank of the regiment, and the same was true of the camp, which Calabis found without difficulty, and the battalion officer Pope planted the battalion flag in front of his large square tent, a flag with two rings of "Medal of Honor", representing the glorious achievements of their brigade in the past: the Battle of the Pass and the Battle of the Eagle Banner.

"What about Milou and Tagus?" Calabis and Pope asked after exchanging military salutes.

"You have been delayed in Rome and Sardinia for too long, and they can't wait, so they have been promoted—Milou is now the chief heavy javelinist of the Legion, and Tagus has gone to the First Brigade as a senior centurion." Pope said amusefully, "I'm the only one who stays with you and serves as your battalion officer." ”

"Yes, they are so heartless, and because of my embarrassing position, the Legion Council actually gave me the strange title of 'Temporary Battalion Officer and Temporary Legion Envoy'." Calabis placed his helmet on the stand at the door of the tent, then brushed his hair with his hand, "It seems that I must live until the end of this war before I can take up my official military position - who is the tribune of our brigade?" ”

"It's not certain yet, we won't know until Philip Proon in the province of Macedonia." Pop handed over a jug of water.

Calabis took the and drank it, then wiped his mouth, looked at the casual sitting posture and high-pitched conversation of the soldiers in the camp, sighed and said, "There are too few veterans. ”

"Yes, these rookies only have courage and blood, they only know how to fight, they don't know how to protect themselves, they can easily die on the battlefield, they must train for about three months before they can really go to the battlefield - this time the opponent is no better than those rabble in Catiline." Pop also leaned in, his hand on the stand where the helmet was hung, "Listen to my woman, your woman is pregnant again." ”

"Yes."

"Well done, your 'reserves' will definitely come in handy." After saying that, the two fisted each other.

On the shores of Greece, ships carrying soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion were heading for their destination in the turbulent sea, and Calabis and Pop sat in the middle of the bow deck, trying to maintain their balance, shouting: "If you can't stand it, tie yourself up with extra cables, which will effectively reduce your panic." But when a soldier tied himself to the deck, and found his body swaying up and down with the hull, it was even more terrifying, and he cried out, and then vomited all over his body.

The soldiers on the deck, as if infected, vomited one after another at their feet.

There was also a soldier, shouting that he saw the hull of the ship cracked, and it was useless for the centurion to suppress and persuade him, so Zuihou could only plug his mouth with a rag.

More soldiers, like malaria, trembled on the benches on their legs, and by the time they reached the sea of Macedonia, near the Gullipon Strait of Helispont, half of the men of the whole legion could not even get off the boat.

The Thirteenth Army Corps temporarily stationed here to collect war materials and then make the next move.

When Calabis and his soldiers were digging a trench in the outskirts of Philippron, a young military tribune stood in front of him, holding a pickaxe, and looked up to see that the tall and thin cheeks and eagle-like eyes of the other party were the same as Apis, who had freed him and Porti in the Battle of Rikdania.
