"Are there springs, woods, moors, wild horses, elk?" The queen asked a lot of "yes" questions in a row.

Calabis shook his head and said, "There are only people, all kinds of people, and their desires, which together build this great and erosive city. At this point, he even felt that it was not a very good thing to bring little Niko to the city of Rome. Helenputina was also silent, she bravely hooked Calabis's neck, looked at the man, and said: "Ella told me many times before her death that she hoped that Nicola could live a different life from our tribe, and she said that when a woman has a child, she will no longer be stubborn about her own ideas, isn't that so?" ”

Just as Calabis was about to answer something, Elkapa's voice sounded next to him, "Since Queen Bixia and the Legion Envoy have awakened, I have trespassed - Your Excellency, the Legion's centurions have been waiting outside the temple for a long time for your awakening." ”

The Queen's big eyes flashed with shyness and embarrassment, and she hurriedly turned her back to Calabis, motionless, while Calabis quickly and gently withdrew from under the blanket, lest she should wake up little Nyco's sweet dreams, and he crawled out, and Elkapa was standing at the entrance of the room where she was, with a sad expression, and she was greatly grieved by the loss of Ella.

Dressed in armor, Calabis greeted Elcapa and walked to the main hall of the temple. From time to time, there was the sound of stone bullets whizzing overhead. It seems that the Pontus army has begun to lay siege to the Acropolis. I don't know how long he's been fainting.

"Calabis, if you're going to ask who helped you change into clean and hot clothes after you fainted, don't be too impressed, it's my brother and a few others." In front of the temple, when Hebrida saw him come out, she gave a thumbs up and boasted, "After killing the Greeks, the reward will not be less." You have to know that we Romans are not good at them, and helping you change your clothes from top to bottom will simply affect my brother's perception in the hearts of his comrades. ”

"Isn't it you who deliberately poked a hole in the back of my short squirt while I was asleep?" Calabis walked down the gravel stairs and asked this question, which caused the officers and soldiers around him to laugh rudely, and the short and sturdy Pope had a face covered with soot, only the eyes of the thin slit still flashed, and he saluted Calabis with his helmet, "Ponticabyan is finished." I heard that the Pontus princess's new model army contingent took only one day to capture it. Claudius was escorting Governor Malcha as he fled outside the city. ”

"Brothers, now we can only rely on us, hold on for half a month to a month, General Petnius will definitely come to our aid with the main force of the legion."

At this time, all the centurions were silent, and Calabis stretched out his hands, meaning to be straight, and Hebrida licked his tongue and said, "When Marcha's bastard fled beforehand, he took most of the grain from the Acropolis, and our reserves now can only last for one market day." ”

"Bastard" Calabis wiped his face and said fiercely, there are indeed a lot of coins in the soldiers' boxes now, but coins are only coins after all, and cannot be eaten as food or clothing, and then he thought for a while, and said, "Kill the mules and horses brought in to satisfy your hunger." ”

"A lot of mules and horses were scattered, and a lot of them were pulled away by Marcha's men, and now there are only about thirty heads left, and they can't eat for a few days." As soon as Pop finished speaking, a stone bullet smashed into the stable next to the group, piercing through the roof, and all kinds of wood and bricks flew up with smoke and dust, with the cry of a mule, "Now there is one less." ”

"Then eat this dead mule first, and don't waste it." Calabis then walked towards the top tower of the acropolis, explaining to Pop as he went: "Except for the guards, let the soldiers stay in the temple or storehouse as much as possible, or hide under the battlements of the tent to rest, and do not move around, and cancel the daily drills to save physical strength and exertion." My dear Pop, though I am very sorry to say this, but from now on, the soldiers will be divided into three divisions, one of which will be responsible for guarding the city every other day, and only this one will be able to eat two meals that day, and the other two will reserve troops and eat one meal a day. ”

When they reached the top tower, several soldiers were sitting and resting against the wall, shields and javelins beside them, and Calabis did not wake them, but peered out through the narrow firing port. Because there is no shortage of stone in Ponticabion, the Acropolis is built very strongly, it is built on a high ground by the sea according to the top, and on the back is a steeper stone cliff, where the tower happens to run parallel to the top of the mountain, the whole Acropolis is a narrow rectangle, only one leads to the bottom of the mountain, which makes it difficult for the enemy to besiege it, and the main sluice gate is also deliberately opened between the city wall and the cliff, only one side can enter in between, the city gate is double-layered, and the eight towers and ballista positions around it together constitute a death trap at the city gate. On the bay side, the two walls of the Acropolis were like arms, holding small piers between them, and the walls also had eight towers, with intersecting angles, and the water areas on the tidal flats were all staked by soldiers to prevent ships from penetrating. In the city, temples, soldiers' quarters, stone trough cisterns, small squares, warehouses, sewers and other facilities are all available, overlooking from the top, the mountain peaks are covered with snow, the navy blue pine forest reflects the same color of the sea, the Pontic army has set up four camps in parallel under the acropolis, and in the bay connected to Ponti Kabiang, Ponticus's small fleet is lined up in a chain shape, "Probably Mithridates will soon enter his son's palace, and our command post still has a lot of things left there, so it is cheaper for him." "Sometimes I wonder what a strong bulwark it is that that fool of Malcha does not stay in the Acropolis." He took all the food and money away, completely out of greed, and Zuihou could only cheapen the princess. ”

"You have to add that if there's no food to eat, it's a sturdy coffin." Pop blew his nose.

"War supplies, nails, leather, weapons, etc., are still sufficient."

"Don't worry, Marcha is not interested in these things, by the way, I have an idea, is it good to eat the war horses of those Ala cavalry into the stomach."

"Good idea, warhorses don't do much under their ass right now, anyway." Calabis agreed.

As a result, there was a great commotion in the stables of the Acropolis in the evening, when a talkative soldier of the infantry brigade relayed the words of the legionary envoy, and almost made the Ala cavalry draw their swords and riot, and no one was willing to let the old man's mount become food in his belly, until Heybrida and a few other old centurions appeared on the scene, and then the bullet was suppressed.
