The Acayans rebelled against the Bronze Shield Army, which was besieging the city in front, and this decision was established the moment they saw Calabis "pushing" the princess down the wall.

Due to the special topography of the Acropolis, the Pontic army had to divide into two parts to attack the city, one part was the main force of the Bronze Shield Army led by Minand, who followed the slope of Haode in advance and attacked the southern part of the Acropolis, because only here was an open coastal land that was convenient for the deployment of large forces; Some were commanded by Stratonis's brother Pasius, and most of the craftsmen and slaves were there, but there were few regular soldiers, and siege positions were set up along the main entrance of the acropolis, that is, to the east, for no other reason, and the forests on both sides of the street were adjacent to each other, making it easier to obtain timber.

Now, the Acayans had burned the junction camp where the two Pontus armies had joined them, cut them off, and rushed to Minandha with their swords drawn, unstoppable with the desire to avenge the king (they did not bother to distinguish between Mithridates and his daughter's position).

Minander moved quickly, he beckoned to his personal guards, and carried the beautiful woman who shouted the name of his brother Pasius on his shoulders, abandoned most of his men who were still bravely attacking the city on the slope, and stepped on the sparkling waters, boarded the boat, and quickly anchored the great fifty-oared boat anchored on the shore, and of course they did not dare to go to Ponticabion, but turned to Pompey.

After all, there is a vault in Stratonis's hands.

After only a quarter of an hour, the hedgehogs gathered on the slope of the bronze shield army were squeezed and assaulted by the Acaya and the Romans from both directions, and the battle quickly turned into a massacre, with all the Roman soldiers waving their arms that were tired to the point of almost numbness. Stab to death the enemy who is still resisting. Or smash their heads and helmets with a pickaxe. "Don't kill any more, they've surrendered! The Bronze Shield Army in Pontus has surrendered! On the high platform of the inner wall, Calabis waved and shouted in order to stop the red-eyed soldiers, and the flag bearer next to him also kept waving the flag, but it still did not help.

Then, at the exit of the hidden corridor of the city wall, the Roman Ala cavalry rushed out with a clamour. Although there were only a hundred cavalry troops, they still rushed to the siege machine position of Pasius like a burst of sparks, and each cavalry had hay bales hanging under the saddle, and after igniting it, they threw it at the huge siege equipment, and then jumped off their horses, drew their swords and engaged the enemy's artillery and craftsmen like infantry. At this time, the veterans lined up in the tortoiseshell formation also came down from the main gate, in the center of the tortoiseshell formation. Constantly people lit fire pots and torches and threw them in all directions. Destroy the Pontic apparatus.

Everywhere was burning and collapsing, everywhere there were retinues fleeing, and Pasius also felt that it was too dangerous to continue to hold this position, but there was no way to join up with Minander and his sister, so he hastily gave the herald an order to "retreat to the quarry, and then assemble", so he stepped on his mount and fled, and this "retreat" soon evolved into a "disorderly retreat", and then into a complete collapse, and the people fled in the direction of the quarry, and the mules and horses rushed in groups, and were easily captured by the Romans.

It was not until sunset that Pasius and a few of his core soldiers set up a simple stone and wooden fence on a high ground in the quarry, rested and gasped, and looked at the vast sea beside him, and the burning and abandoned positions in front of him, and could only weep and gloom, so he prepared to retreat to the Cimmerian Strait and slip away by boat before the Romans chased him, and wait until he had the opportunity to meet his sister again.

At this time, several subordinates advised him not to act rashly, but to stand firm first, so as not to be pursued and killed by the Romans who arrived in a panic, and since there were many wounded soldiers and a lack of horses, he must first gather his men and horses—and Pasius saw that his subordinates were sincere, so he agreed.

"Open the gate, it's our horses." Several Pontic soldiers shouted excitedly, and those who were familiar with horses blew their whistles to summon, and in the dim sun, in the night mist, about a dozen horses and pack horses were running towards Pasius' camp.

The soldiers divided into two groups and pushed open the makeshift gate, and Pasius called two of his men to light torches, and ran to pick out a horse for his escape, which had just broken his foot.

The neighing of horses and the sound of horses' hooves sounded by the gate, and then Pasius saw two horses running towards him with their hooves, and he was very satisfied, but he did not pay attention to the terrifying look on the faces of the soldiers by the gate, and he heard the soldiers shouting:

"There's someone under the horse's belly!"

Sure enough, on the backs of the two horses, two people suddenly appeared strangely, of course this is Helenputina and Elkapa, they approached the camp of Pontus, they grabbed the saddle with both hands, stretched their legs on the opposite side of the upper horse, hid under the belly of the horse, and rushed in with the herd.

Now after determining the target, the long legs of the Amazon queen point to the ground, bounce the legs, spin, and then straddle, in one go, the Tiver shield in her hand "poof" pops out of the blade tip, and then the inertia of the horse, the stunned Pasius head directly cut off, the side galloping Elkapa took out a short javelin from under the saddle, and firmly inserted Pacius's head in the air, and then the two turned the horse's head, and Pasius's head picked up, and escaped directly from the gate, disappearing into the twilight.

In the middle of the night, the Acropolis of the Romans was still reveling, and they learned the custom of the barbarians, cut off the heads of the enemy dead in battle, and prepared to hang them on the walls of the bay in the coming day, and intimidate the navy of Pontus, Hybrida, drinking the wine captured from the Pontic camp, shouting that it would be good to have a fleet here, and he would be able to take a boat, destroy all the Pontic ships, and rush to the palace of Marcha to leave, and capture the emperor of Pontus.

"Divide half of the seizures among the Acayans, and allow them to continue to live in the camp abandoned by the Ponticus, and tonight the Acropolis will still have to be guarded, and I will personally patrol it after two nights." In front of the small temple of Minerva, Calabis told several centurions that he did not dare to put the Acayans into the acropolis because he was afraid that they would find out about Adiana's "cattiness".

"Listen, legion envoy, it's not okay to give half, at most a third, this battle is won by us Romans!" A centurion said in a disgruntled tone.

Calabis looked at him, pursed his lips and nodded, then hung his helmet on his waist and walked into the temple hall, where he saw Adiana sitting on her knees, and next to her stood a dagger and staring at the little Niko, who was obviously under the strict supervision of the envoy's daughter.

"Eat marsa? It was made of newly seized wheat flour, though it was not as delicious as my woman's. Calabis held up the bread and said to the princess, who was glaring at her angry and helpless eyes.

"Bastard!" Adiana gritted her teeth, and then two tears fell, and her eyes actually had a kind of determination, "The royal family of Mithra will not be willing to be insulted like this, and patience at this moment is to die in front of you personally, and when I go to Hades, I will curse you again for not dying well!" ”

After saying that, Adiana suddenly took out the gold pendant, twisted the lid, and poured the venom completely into her mouth! (To be continued......)
