Augustus Road

"Who is this rude and rude female warrior with no manners?" Although she knew the other party's identity, Adiana still wanted to show off her superior qualities.

"That's my mother, Karabis is my father." Little Nicole raised her head and said.

"Calabis, you were lucky three years ago, but I hope that my father and Obisius will successfully castrate you at that time." Adiana's tone was quite dissatisfied, and it was obvious that she did not want the amphorae to castrate you. There are too complicated aliens involved, "If I were to calculate, it was probably when Biduita rescued me that you had an affair with this rude female warrior. Oh my god, this kind of declining little girl is on the verge of extinction. Kingdom, I have no interest in mercy.”

"Yes, so I sincerely declare that you are now a distinguished guest of the legion's advance team, enjoying double food and salary treatment." Karabis didn't want this unreasonable princess to cause trouble, so he gave in to her as soon as possible and blocked her mouth, " Also, don’t take this female warrior seriously, she is just a mercenary of the legion.”

"Well, that's right, don't make me worry about everything, Calabis." Adiana regained her composure and was about to go to bed in the room in the temple.

"Are you willing to be your father's enemy?" Calabis stood there and asked the princess's back.

"He abandoned my mother and me in the palace. Now I regard myself as a dead person, no longer bound by ethics and morals. My current life is burning in place of my mother who died of resentment - Carla Bisi, I just want to have a big fight with you now, and I won't think about other trivial matters." After saying that, Adiana left a long and slant figure, turned into the winding corridor, and disappeared.

Calabis watched the princess leave, and was about to start related matters, but saw Elcapa's small body lying in front of him, "Your Excellency, the special envoy, you must apologize to Her Majesty the Queen for what happened just now."

"I won't waste my energy on such boring trivial matters, El Capa. I will use more important things to make up for the queen and my daughter." Karabis gently pressed El Capa's shoulders. "I know that your desire to revive the Amazon Kingdom is stronger than anyone else, and you don't want the current queen to be distracted by some bumps around the stove. Then we must seize the opportunity now, in the gap between enemies and allies. Gaining your own benefits - this is also for Ella." After saying that, Karabis patted the speechless El Capa and left.

The next day, Calabis arranged for the senior centurion Hybrida to lead the team, leading three large groups of Roman soldiers to sweep away the remnants of the Bronze Shield Army to the east. The Achaeans also accompanied them as servants. Centuries, as units, took the captured packhorses and cleaned, demolished and burned all the villages and towns along the way. This not only destroyed the hiding places of the remaining members of the Bronze Shield Army, but also turned the entire area into scorched earth to prepare for the imminent coming Pompey's army had no place to stand.

In the end, hundreds of Bronze Shields were surrounded on a seaside highland full of gravel and stone cliffs. They had no food or water, and did not dare to escape back to the Cimmerian Strait, because there were all Achayans who hated them. They feared they would be deliberately drowned by locals while taking a boat. Without too much trouble, all the Bronze Shields surrendered. Hebrida announced at the beginning that all the prisoners would be stripped of their weapons, armor and flags, and would automatically become military slaves of the Romans.

What's even more interesting is that Highbreda found something extremely valuable in the box they carried: the eagle flag of the Eighth Legion.

Around the Acropolis, the remaining personnel built dense wooden piles and deer villages on the beach and land. The reason for doing these things is very good: to prevent the Pontic fleet from sneak attacks or counterattacks. Of course, Pompey's ships cannot easily board. Once it is unable to land on the shore and is stranded on the sea, it is likely to be sunk by a storm that may appear at any time. This is something that any ship commander will worry about.

In the Pontic Bronze Shield Army camp, there were mountains of supplies, bags of poppies, beeswax, and wheat flour. Except for those that were burned, they were all sent to the Acropolis warehouse for long-term planning. Calabis and Adiana have already calculated that Pompey's fleet cannot get around it at all, because the Gulf of Ponticabion is still controlled by Achilles of Pontus, and more importantly, the lighthouses of the city and the islands in the bay. , and docks are all in the hands of Pontus people, which is of extremely important significance to naval battles in ancient times: the lighthouse is the best command post for the naval commander, and the dock can provide repair services at any time for ships damaged by artillery fire and storms-these two Pompey's fleet doesn't even have one, and it doesn't even have a place to stay. Once it enters a naval battle, it will definitely lose.

Pompey, who was proficient in naval warfare and had wiped out the entire Mediterranean pirates in a short period of time, would not fail to understand this.

"Hey, Calabis, have you seen the island outside the bay? There is a permanent lighthouse there. It is now occupied by a team from Pontus. If you hope to win our war in the future, that place will determine the balance of the battlefield. "The key." In the sea breeze, from the top tower of the Acropolis, Adiana pointed to a small island full of sharp rocks in the vast sea.

"Is that where your fleet burst into the bay from before?" Helen Putina, who was standing by behind the tower, suddenly asked.

A proud expression appeared on Adiana's face: "Yes, your former employer Malcha was very stupid. He should have placed a commander on top to regulate the entire sea area, and then let his fleet rely on the bay to cooperate with the two armies of the Acropolis. The earthenware jar defended us, but he did nothing. Our fleet easily came in, destroyed the long bridge, and severed the connection between the Acropolis and Ponticabion."

"Failed to defend, huh? Ella died because of it." Helemptina said this intentionally to Carapis.

Just as Carapis was about to comfort Niko's mother, Adiana said with a puzzled expression, "When the armies started fighting, there were always deaths." Well, Carapis was willing to admit that the princess was right about this statement, but Adiana was always a girl who didn't care about the occasion. The blade under Helemptina's Tifo shield stretched out, "I regret why I cooperated with Carapis and pulled you up with a chain after you fell from the top of the city? Now it seems that this was entirely out of Carapis's selfishness. You should have turned into a pile of rotten meat at the foot of the city wall!"

Seeing this, Carapis touched a shield against the wall, but he had no confidence that he could block the queen's blade in time.

But Adiana was not afraid of the blade. She just smiled, pointed at the queen, then pointed at Carabis and said, "Don't be silly. Now you and I are both hired by Carabis. You use brutal force, and I use a sharp mind. That's the only difference. Why can't we cooperate well and run this business well?" (To be continued.)
