On the left flank of the Romans, the light armoured men of the Gaecians, were overwhelmed by sixty Roman legionary cavalry. After learning about this situation in detail, Takschiller adjusted the direction and strength of the main attack in time - a thousand elite Pontic cavalry, a short charge, pressed all the Garacians into the river, and the Roman legionary cavalry was the first to turn around and flee, and the scattered Garacians even rushed the Roman soldiers who were camping in the rear.

Appis's face changed from calm to solemn, in this duel of time and perseverance, he could not hold on, if he did not make up his mind in time, three brigades, 1,600 Roman elites (1,440 infantry, plus a few cavalry), all of them would have to wither away in this dead place. He finally gave the order to "abandon the camp, alternate cover, and withdraw to the other side of the river", and at the sound of whistles and trumpets, all the centurians understood the determination of the officer: without saying a word, the men and horses who were building the camp behind did not say a word, put down their tools, raised their swords and shields, and stepped forward, replacing the brothers who had fought hard before, but the two Roman soldiers, at the time of handover, and at the most vulnerable time, were attacked by the sharp-armed Tak Schiller.

In the middle of the night, the Roman army was defeated and retreated, and there was no time to take away the bodies of the soldiers who had died in battle, and many people fell into the river and drowned and froze to death, and the four centians behind the palace, except for twenty who were captured, were all killed. Pontus's cavalry had been trekking across the river to continue the pursuit, but they were met with a strong counterattack from the three remaining hundreds, a reserve that Apis had placed in advance.

As Calabis was about to report the message back to Adiana, the two maids said that Her Excellency had gone to bed and was not to be disturbed.

Everywhere there were Pontic soldiers running back and forth at a rapid pace, and Calabis slowly walked to the barracks of the barracks, and in the firelight he saw Poti in the chariot.

Sitting in the car, shackled, with his head sideways, his thick black hair draped, Potty looked at him with a smile, "Calabis, are you here to comfort me?" xiexie you, you're such a nice guy. ”

The soldiers who were playing a game of lamb's leg bones were tossing the leg bones around them, and they saw Calabis, and as if they hadn't seen it, they all knew that it was the slave of the princess.

"Porty, I want to ask you something very important - if Adiana were to put you to death, would you accept it with ease?"

Hearing Calabis's question, Porti's face was a little strange, "What are you talking about?" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand over the railing and touched Calabis's face, "Calabis, I'm a little sorry, we didn't have a relationship before we died, you're still a virgin, it's strange, even if it's a slave, it's not like that." ”

"I'm not a virgin, and you don't want to die, Porty. I'll do whatever it takes to save you. Even if I'm still a slave, I'm not going to let you die. Calabis gripped the railing with both hands, and with great determination, the whole car trembled slightly.

“weishenme？” Potty's tone was still surprised, she really couldn't imagine that she was just a meat bullet at the bottom of the food chain of palace strife, and that Calabis, a little slave, would actually try to save her.

"Because I want to have sex with you! That's right, I covet your flesh, and I'm going to possess you so hard that you beg for mercy under my crotch! After you live, the first one will agree to this condition of mine! Calabis closed his eyes and shouted, this is what Adiana taught him just now, yes, he was willing to help Potty at the beginning, wasn't he attracted by her bewitching sexiness, no more morality, no more reserved, after shouting in one go, Calabis turned red, his mouth grew up, he gasped, and the sweat on his cheeks also flowed.

Hearing what Calabis said, the soldiers next to him whistled obscenely, and Potty couldn't help laughing, saying yes, I will use all my strength to serve you then.

Then, with his back slightly hunched, Calabis stepped out of the car.

At dawn, the Roman soldiers, who had retreated to the other side of the river, miraculously erected a camp with all the facilities, which made all the officers and soldiers of Pontus feel inexplicably surprised: a team was beaten so miserably, and instead of being defeated, it was able to build such a strong fortification in such a short time with the attitude of a defeated army.

Could it be that the hearts of the Romans were all made of bronze?

"A small miscalculation." After getting up, Adiana looked at the Roman camp opposite and said with a chuckle.

Tucker Schiller asked his subordinates to present the five captured "tongues of fire" flags to Adiana, "What about the owners of these flags?" ”

"All of them are dead." Tucker Schiller said triumphantly.

"Bison, the team flag is nothing, maybe we can do it this time and get the eagle flag of the Roman legion." Adiana deliberately made her tone rude and straightforward to win the favor of Tucker Schiller and the others.

In the camp, Apis stood on the wooden tower, looking at the Pontus cavalry galloping back and forth on the opposite bank, his mood fell to the bottom, more than 400 people were killed in battle, most of the servant army of Garashia fled, and almost all the rest were wounded. Moreover, looking at this situation, the three wings of the Seventh Army Corps stationed here earlier are estimated to be finished long ago, and there will not be even a single scum left.

The only hope is that Sonajus will come here with the main force of the Eighth Legion, according to the pre-defended Jihua, and then find a way to defeat Mithridaths.

At this moment, three messengers of the Bosphorus, dressed in masked armor, came to Appis, and the leader said to him in Greek: "Since the master is now an ally of the Romans, we can help your Excellency." ”

Hearing this, Appis turned his head in amazement, and after a long time asked, "Are you a woman?" ”

"Why, who says that women are not allowed to go to war!"

In the evening, Mithridates were the first to arrive in Mithridates, numbering eight thousand men: the king of Pontus spent a great deal of money while he was in Tegreseta, employing three or four thousand warriors of various barbarian tribes, and freeing a number of his slaves to fight with his army. In this way, with the 3,000 cavalry sent by Taksile, the strength of the Pontic side swelled to more than 10,000 people, while in the hands of Appis on the opposite side, only a few thousand men were holding on.

Even more striking than Mithridates' army was the size of his retinue, eunuchs, slave girls, gladiators, equestrians, playwrights, singers, doctors, and so on, hundreds of them, all dressed in fine jewelry and splendid clothes, in a formation that stretched the entire camp, most of which had been improvised by Mithridates after his return - he could never stand the excessively narrow pomp.

When Mithridatis, who was sitting on the wide chariot, saw his youngest daughter Adiana who was greeted below, his smile extended to the corners of his eyes, "My dear and well-behaved daughter, Zeus, I am very relieved that you can still be with me at my knees in such a difficult time." ”

"Father, don't you have the idea of marrying me to the king of some kingdom?" Adiana is straight to the point.

"This, this is of course, as long as the situation is calmed down, my father will arrange it—Bidoita, I commend you for your courage and wisdom, it is you who have saved my pearl. In addition, I asked with trepidation, what happened to my royal sister Naisa? Seeing the Galatian swordsman next to Adiana, Mithridates asked with concern.

"Unfortunately, she died in the rebellion, and her body was buried according to royal standards." Biduita replied with an expressionless bow.
