Saradu the Thracian amazed all the girls in the city—a word of praise for the swordsman carved into a wall in Pompeii.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Calabis was so angry that he was about to attack, but then Demetrius grabbed his arm: "Calabis, don't stay!" Calabis looked back, and fifty or sixty meters away, Hebrida was running towards them with angry eyes, biting her lip, and carrying her sword and shield.

"Get up for me." Calabis pulled his long arm, and with Adina's scolding "Binaural clay pot, you have more respect", she was lifted up directly, and then took out a short knife (this was specially issued to him by the three wings in front of the station), and then Adina's scolding was replaced by a panicked scream, "What are you going to do with the amphora clay pot!" ”

I saw that Calabis grabbed the hem of Adina's skirt, cut it with a knife, tore it with his hands, and turned back to Poti and Demitrius and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, come and help, hurry up." The two of them froze for a moment, and then joined the ranks of the "torn cabbage", so ashamed that Adiana yelled, and soon her skirt became a Hawaiian tusk, only longer than the knee, "Okay, it should be much easier to run now, hurry, Potty, you pull her away!" Calabis instructed as he ran forward, for Hybrida was only twenty or thirty meters away from them

In the camp of the king of Armenia, Tegrenyjung stood at the mouth of the tent with a sword, brandishing his sword to give orders to the chiefs and kings, his mind had been completely confused by mourning and alcohol last night, causing his orders to be either vague or in order, but the chieftains and kings could only nod their heads constantly, and the chariots and horses came and went rapidly, trying to dispatch an army of tens of thousands of horses and horses to effectively stop the offensive of the Romans.

"What about Chalnus of Godini, what about Challus of Godini." Tegrenice suddenly thought of this small vassal, and he needed King Godini to take his country's spearmen to the plain on the left to block the Roman cavalry attack.

But he yelled for a long time, and did not see Challus come to see him, until a servant came and whispered to him that Czarnus of Godini had abandoned the camp without permission and fled with his party, fearing that he had made a secret pact with the Romans beforehand.

Tegrenice was furious at the news, and slashed the doorpost of the tent with his sword, as if it were the body of the traitor Chalnus.

The fierce battle lasted until the afternoon: the Roman army successfully crossed the Sophini, many hundred-men wedged deep into the Armenian camps, some only a few stadia from the main camp of Tegrenys, the Armenians were killed and taken prisoner in thousands, and the remnants of the defeated army gathered around the camp of Tegrenys, as if it were safer here.

Many of his aides, including Prince Tegre the Younger, desperately advised Tegrenice to retreat to Tegreseta in a hurry, where it would be possible to replenish the rest of the army and compete with the Romans. But some of the chiefs from Arabia or Arminia went to the night feast of the King of kings, and drank wine and boasted, saying that the Romans had been badly dampened by their bravery in the day's battle, and that if they were treated well tonight, they would promise that the next day's counterattack would defeat the Romans until they were driven down the Aegean Sea.

Tegrenice was also very confused at the moment, he couldn't tell which side was telling the truth, because in today's battle, he didn't witness the situation on the front line at all.

At this time, he saw the Biduita at the banquet, the strong indigo-blue highland warrior, who was gulping down the wine and meat, and while looking at the plump female slaves who were wiping the table, he raised his glass and asked, "Your master, what mission did you come for?" ”

"It's to escort Father Meitdorus, but now it seems that this mission is yellow." Bidoita replied as she slammed the wine in her bearded mouthful.

"And will you keep me and Naissa safe now? The price is not an issue, and the few slave girls you are staring at are all yours tonight. Tegrenice continued.

Bituita Haha laughed and said it was a contemptible honor.

"You're not going to protect me the way you protect Metdorus, though?" Tegrenice half-jokingly tentatively.

"Please rest assured, now the contemptible master has no reason to turn his face with Bixia, so the contemptible man swears with his own sword that he will never face Bixia with a sword." Biduita drew the Celtic sword she was wearing, a treasure so brilliant that the kings and chieftains of the banquet were overwhelmed by its brilliance.

"Very haode weapon, does it have a name?" Tegrenice took a drink and was intrigued.

"Of course, she is my love Bona. The contemptible man is not the master of the sword, on the contrary, the sword is the master of the contemptible man, so my nickname is the right hand of Ebona. ”

Both Tegrenice and Naisa laughed, raised their glasses, and shouted, "Cheers to Ebona, the Celtic goddess of horse herding and war!" ”

"Cheers!" All the people present raised their glasses wildly.

On the other side, in the foothills of the mountains, nearly a thousand meters above the head of Tegrenys, in the vast twilight, the 3rd Wing, which was rushing very fast, encountered the Armenian alert detachment stationed at the mountain pass.

Neither side expected the sudden appearance of the other, and the Armenian soldiers, when they discovered the enemy's situation, rushed forward with a swarm of bees, and the first to bear the brunt of the hundred-man regiment commanded by Utarius, who was walking in front, the Romans' group horizontal tactics were too late to be used in the narrow mountains, and could only be mixed with the brave Armenian hill people's fighting troops.

"Diamond formation, diamond formation!" Utterus whistled and shouted loudly, and the flag-bearer beside him had three javelins in his body, like a pierced sack, and sat on the ground before he had completely collapsed, but only breath came out of his nostrils and mouth. Utarius took the banner and threw it on the ground, shouting, "This is the demarcation, do not take a step back, do not allow the enemy to take away the flag of the 6th Brigade", and said to the trumpeter: "Blow the signal to meet the enemy, and tell Hybrida to come up quickly!" The soldiers of the hundred-man team now formed a diamond-shaped formation according to his orders, so that the four sides of the team could be protected by shields, and arrows and flying stones smashed into them, making a continuous thumping sound.

The camping slaves sandwiched between the two hundred-man squads also began to be confused, and several Armenian soldiers had already rushed into their ranks, like a mountain leopard entering a sheepfold, and many of them were cut down and shot down, "Hide in the woods on the side, everyone back to back, leaning to the trunks!" Calabis held a bronze axe, which he had bought in the city of Amisus for a drachma, and with the inscription "Crafted in the workshop of Coppoleule", and moved together with Adiana, Potti, and Demetrius, and they slowly leaned towards a large tree by the side of the road.

An Armenian soldier saw them, and rushed with a short spear and a round wicker shield, and rushed with a roar, and Calabis's hand and axe trembled together, and Demetrius cried out for the gods' protection—but Adiana snatched the axe, and her grass skirt jumped with her running motion, dodging the soldier's stabbing blow, and struck the other man in the neck with an axe, and the soldier spurted a stream of blood, and then fell to the ground with inertia, and his legs shook twice, and he died.
