Soon, he was kicked in the chest by Hebrida and fell to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing, Hebrida said impatiently, "What a rotten day is today?" Before the army is going to fight, why are so many slaves and croaking! Then he turned to Safano and Arminius, lowered the four fingers of his left hand, and bent his thumb inward, again saying that he would not spare the hostages.

"Calabis, you send a message to the other side, saying that we are willing to give up resistance and surrender!" Hardly anyone believed that the words came from the mouth of Utarius, and with a dejected face, he slowly removed the centurion's helmet, gold chain, charm, and ring, and closed his eyes in agony.

At this moment, Claudius also came to his senses, and shouted, "Hebrida, why is it here that you, a low-ranking centurion, call the shots, and I agree with Ulterius's plan, your decision has been rejected - all battalions, lay down your arms, and assemble on standby!" ”

"Are you two still Romans? Is it still worthy to go to the temple of Mars! Seeing Safano and Arminius letting go of Nessa and Porti with embarrassed faces, Hebrida couldn't stand it anymore and roared at Uteius and Claudius, "Uteius, you eggless scum, I knew you were the coward you are today, and my brother should have killed you when he was at Sophini's pass!" ”

In the cold wind of dusk, Utiris did not listen to Hybrida's scolding, but still stood motionless, his eyes closed, presumably because it was a senseless sacrifice to resist. At this time, Calabis stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Porti, nodded firmly, and then walked to the flagbearer, and under the astonishment of the other party, took the "tongue of fire" of the trifecta (the flag of the Roman wing, a red triangle, nicknamed the tongue of fire), and under the gaze of everyone, a man slowly walked out of the camp and walked towards the car of Adiana.

"What a grand comedy, I didn't expect the proud Romans, Zuihou to ask an unknown slave to surrender. And don't forget, Calabis, you're still my slave. Adiana in the car looked at Calabis who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a sneering look, then she looked at Calabis and said in a soft tone, "Calabis, Calabis, you have to stand up quickly, you don't have to be like this in front of me, I understand, no one should die in this battle, I am measured." ”

In the wind, more than seventy soldiers of the Roman Seventh Legion bowed their heads, and Utarius, Hebrida and Claudius took the lead, neatly under the insults and ridicule of the Pontic cavalry on both sides, and walked to Adiana's chariot, "The right hand of Ebona, your favorite mistress, can now be retrieved." Adiana said to Pytuita, who had taken her back from the Amazones, "and then have the best centurions of the Roman legions kneel before you and kiss your boots." ”

Biduita triumphantly snatched the "Ebona" from Uterius's hand, "Filthy Roman dog, you have defiled my mistress. Then, Biduitha pinned Ebona to her waist, and instead pulled out the "Otolicus", which Mithridates had given him in advance, and struck the sword on the head of Utarius: "Say, invincible Mithra the Great, long live the princess of Adiana!" ”

Utarius, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled with excitement, and what he said, Calabis did not hear clearly, but Pytuita then laughed, raised "Ottolicus" and shouted to everyone: "This Roman said that he was afraid, he was afraid of Bixia's sword!" ”

"Long live the invincible Mithra the Great, long live the princess of Adiana!" All the Pontic cavalry held their banners and spears aloof, and shouted in unison.

Seeing Naisa and Porti, Adiana smiled meaningfully again, then gently jumped out of the car and walked in front of her aunt: "Dear aunt, aren't you happy?" You are going to tremble, now that you are no longer a captive of the Romans, come quickly, return to our Pontic Empire. Adiana smiled softly and opened her arms to Naisa, who finally squeezed out a reluctant smile and opened her arms to meet her.

Potty, who was following behind the master's mother, suddenly found that Naissa had straightened up, like an electric shock, and her back was high and she didn't move for a moment

On Nessa's soft lower abdomen, Biduza's "Aibona" was inserted, and the small hand holding the hilt of the sword belonged to the expressionless face of her niece Adian, and the blood hissed and dripped down the sword body.

Pytuita, Tak Schiller, and Calabis, all of them were stunned, and Adiana drew Bidita's sword and plunged it deep into her aunt's stomach as Naissa walked up.

"Did you know? My dear aunt, I have been waiting for this day to see the ** despicable blood in your body, dripping before my eyes, for the sake of my mother. Adiana's chestnut eyes were cold, and then she pulled out her sword, Naisa's eyes widened, and her open hands were about to hug, shaking stiffly, and slowly knelt at Adina's feet, she still had half a breath, and could only instinctively pull her niece's skirt, the corners of her mouth were already speechless, but obviously begging for mercy.

At last, Potty's mournful cry rang out on the hillside, and she picked up the body of her dead mistress and began to cry.

"Your Excellency, you must know that I can't pretend not to see this matter, when Bixia inquires." Tucker Schiller came back to his senses and said with some irritation.

Adiana turned around, put her finger to her lips, and made a no-fuss gesture, "Bison, welcome to the first time you can watch the tender game between the Mitra family. With that, he returned the bloody saber to Biduita, and said lightly, "Ibona's right hand, I believe that no one wants to cause trouble at this time—just say that she has been executed by the Romans beforehand, and that the body should be buried as soon as possible." Biduita had nothing to answer for the time being, so she could only bow with her fists in obedience.

"Utarius, Hebrid—I have said that I admit the superiority of your Roman tactics, and yes, my father was a little frustrated, and he always thought that Alexander the Great was the most hode, and that he could not keep up with the times. But your tactics are not like Lucuras's self-contained, and others can't learn them. I now hire Utarius to teach the Pontic officers tactics, and Hybrida is in charge of the training of the soldiers, and we Pontic people, when we fight against Rome in the future, we will no longer fight in a phalanx of 6,000 or 8,000 men, and we will also have a flexible hundred-man team that can perform all kinds of tasks. Adiana walked up to the two centurions, "I forgive you, but I need you to exchange them for the corresponding conditions. There is no need to worry about the salary, Uterius has 20,000 drachmas a year, which is equivalent to 80,000 cesdes; Highbrida you have offended me, so you can only give you twelve thousand drachmas a year. Moreover, I promise you a quota of two percent for each of the booty of the Pontus army. ”

The two centurions were pale, and they lowered their heads and refused to squeak, Adiana smiled, and was not angry, rubbed their heads, and walked up to Claudius, "You are a waste, just a traitor, maybe you should go and be the company of my aunt." ”

"No, I also know the inside story of the Roman legions, and I have the value of continuing to live." Claudius looked up and shouted in Greek.

"Then go back to your brother-in-law, we don't like traitors either, let the Romans deal with you themselves!" As Adiana spoke, a Pontic soldier brought a horse and forcibly pushed Claudius, who continued to shout, onto the horse and sent him away.
