It seems that Hybrida wants to take Adena hostage in exchange for the retreat of the Pontus army, although Calabis thinks that his move is not wrong, but it is really morally harmful, and he can only stand in front of the low-ranking centurion: "Officer, you can't do this." ”

"Get out of the way." Hebrida spoke this time, which was already very polite, his thinking, when Calabis was his own slave, beating was scolding and love, but now that he was the servant of the princess, he was a little bad at encroaching on other people's private property.

"Sir, your task and I are to escort the princess to Sinop, whether she is a guest of the legions or a relative of a Roman ally—even if it is for the sake of protecting her, we can only take a respectful attitude and settle the matter."

Highbrida stared at Calabis for a moment, then pursed her lips and stood still, meaning that you should quickly watch it.

At this time, Naissa and Potty also came out of their tents in amazement, and were soon held by Safano and Arminius, one left and one right, holding their short swords to their waists, and Naissa screamed in panic, and Hebrida pointed at them, shouting: "Don't panic, women, you have screamed enough in your daily life!" Then Calabis climbed into the carriage - convincing Adiana that he was not so sure that he would do what Hebrida had to offer.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and Calabis shouted with a blank face.

In front of everyone's eyes, he trembled and pointed to the carriage, "Li, it's not the princess of Pontus inside!" ”

Claudius, dressed in an Adiana gown, was pulled out of the carriage by a group of soldiers, and when she saw the cavalry captain still wearing women's clothes without losing her "style", Hybrida, Uterris and others didn't know what expressions to put on their faces - how could he be here, and where did she go?

Claudius, who was rescued, looked extremely embarrassed and panicked, and before he could change into his women's clothes, he scolded him for being in Tegreseta, kidnapped by a gang of Pontus thugs, and stuffed into an ox cart, and he had no idea what happened after that.

At this time, Calabis looked at each other with Helenputina and others, although he was separated by the mask, he could imagine the frustration of the Amazon Queen, when he was "saving people", he didn't check his identity in a hurry, and as a result, he was on the road.

"Her Royal Highness, there!" Potty suddenly pointed to a certain hillside, where Calabis was standing on the carriage with a pergola, and saw that under the western hillside many of the generals were clustered around a richly decorated chariot with horses and on it none other than Adiana, with a peculiar haughty smile on her lips, her chestnut hair shining in the setting sun, her ornate cloak, and the scepter of the goddess of victory in her hand.

On the left side of the chariot was a Pontus general with a Kalkis helmet and black horsehair, the cavalry general of Mithridates, "Bison" Takschiller;

On the right, there is a Celtic warrior with an indigo tattoo on his upper body and a sword on his back, "Ibana's Right Hand", Bituita.

"Your Highness Adiana, you guessed correctly, this small army of the Romans is indeed here, since it has been surrounded by us, let's eat them as an appetizer for dinner." Tucker Schiller respectfully pleaded.

"Bison, my father's brigade is still behind, and I, Adiana, will be the vanguard for the time being, and I have my own opinions." Adiana then swung her scepter slightly, and several horsemen next to her stepped forward, only to see that she kept saying something to them, and soon several horsemen galloped down the hillside with flags, asking for a conversation with the Romans.

"Calabis, you translate!" Highbrida licked her dry lips and squinted.

"Your Excellency has mercy on you, and her Chrysostom tells you that the army of the Pontus Empire here is as many as five thousand men, and it is unwise to resist." One of the leading horsemen sat on horseback and shouted, "But the reason why you are in a humiliating situation of defeat today, and you have no one to blame for it, but to resent your greedy cavalry captain Claudius, who was bribed by our gold and betrayed your whereabouts!" ”

Claudius's handsome face turned pale in an instant, and he trembled and explained to the soldiers around him who were looking at him angrily, "This is a discordant ploy of the cunning enemy, I am the captain of the cavalry, the wife and brother of the commander-in-chief, and now I am the largest officer in this camp, and I am in charge, and no one shall disobey the officer."

The cavalry then shouted: "If you are in the camp, the three messengers of Governor Marcha, the brother-in-law of Your Excellency, please leave on your own." Because Her Excellency the princess does not want to be an enemy of her brother for the time being. ”

There was a neighing sound of horses, Helenputina nodded, she knew Greek, she didn't need Calabis to translate anything, Elkapa and Ella followed, and rushed out of the back door of the camp briskly, the Pontus cavalry on the hillside really kept their promises, and they got out of the queue, and soon Helenputina disappeared on the other side of the hillside, Calabis held the cart post, looked at the queen's back, and was stunned, did she just leave?

Also, Calabis, you are just a "bit elf" in the other party's heart

"All the officers and men of the Third Wing of the Sixth Brigade of the Roman Bacchus Legion, now you must lay down your weapons, take off your armor, line up in columns, and walk in front of Your Excellency the Princess, to sign your surrender! Otherwise, the attack will begin in an hour. With that, the Pontus cavalry raised their flags again, gave a salute in the direction of the camp, and then slipped away.

When Calabis translated this sentence, the camp was fried!

Almost all the soldiers said that they wanted to maintain the dignity of the legion and fight to the death with the despicable sneak attack of the Pontus cubs, and Hybrida also straightened his armor and helmet, and said to Utiris next to him with a complicated expression: "Sad, I didn't expect Zuihou to die with you." ”

Claudius walked slowly with trembling steps, "Don't be stupid, we still have the royal sister of Pontus in our hands, no one should die here." ”

"Your Highness Claudius, you heard the words of that stinky chick just now, she has declared war on us, and she actually asks us to surrender - the Romans never compromise with the enemy after going to war." After Hebrida finished speaking, she looked at Claudius's cowardice and sighed, "Zuihou bribed you with those five thousand Seths, it's really blind." ”

At this time, the flagbearers in the camp had already taken their positions, half of the soldiers had climbed 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 spat twice into the palm of her hand, then swung the short sword in her hand twice, and approached the colorless Nessa and Porti, "The battle is about to take over, and the custom of the Roman army is not to leave hostages, do you understand?" After saying that, he gave them Safano and Arminius an executionary look.

"Claudius! My favorite Claudius! You can do it, don't fall into the trap of Adiana's wild cat, she is trying to drive a wedge between us, she is playing all of us, she wants us all to die. Naissa pulled her throat, crying and fussing, and knelt on the ground with a trombone.

And Potty's big eyes looked at Calabis in the car in horror, Calabis's chest trembled, and now Potti's only hope can only be pinned on him, he doesn't care what kind of grievances Potty, Nessa and Adiana had in the court of Pontus before, but Potty is just a slave girl, she is not guilty of her own crimes, but the habit of the Romans is: if the master dies abnormally, his (her) slave must also die, or cut off by himself, or a third party to execute, there is no room for negotiation.

"Centurion of Highbrida, Centurion of Utarius. I'm willing to go and see Adiana, I've served her for a while, I beg you, don't execute the hostages for a while, let me try again! Calabis jumped out of the car and walked over to Hebrida.
