Augustus Road

The three generals all stood in front of the carriage to receive their orders, and then four thousand soldiers and slave laborers began to work. Pope and Gable were responsible for the implementation of the project, while Sabo was responsible for scheduling. He was holding Lepidus in his hand. The imagined picture of Troy: first dig the foundation and the defensive trench, then use the excavated mud to build and consolidate the city wall, and then build the palace and temple. The required stones and wood come from the "tail" of Lepidus Castle.

"Amphora, it seems that the manpower is not particularly sufficient." Adiana was a little worried whether the project could be completed within a month.

"It doesn't matter. I have three hundred talents on hand from Caesar. My Majesty the Queen, I will hand over this money to you immediately. You can lend me some more and hire craftsmen, muralists and painters from all over Asia." Antique dealers are here!" Lepidus said nonchalantly, "As long as you have enough money, manpower, and excellent technicians, it is not that difficult to build an 'Ancient City of Troy' out of thin air."

Adiana was a very smart queen, and she understood immediately. She also held the scroll of "Homer's Epic", leaned on Lepidus's ear and said: "I will immediately ask the slaves in the palace to open up a tunnel in the camp. A special room is used to divide the key features of Priam Castle in the book into detailed memorandum entries. Since so much money has been spent, it must be done perfectly, right? "These two people? I have been completely immersed in the joy of pranks and can't extricate myself. After digging the foundations and trenches of the city, Lepidus said, "There must be a Scamander River. Because the epic records that this raging river is the source of water that must pass under the city of Troy." So below, the soldiers and slaves worked They dug trenches from the nearby river, introduced the "Scamandros River", and walked around the foundation.

"In addition, there must be two springs." After Lepidus said, they dug one more in the "south of the city" and the "north of the city" until water came out. At this time, Asia Minor was still a place with lush water resources and forests. .

But what Lepidus did not say is that the epic clearly talks about two springs. One is a cold spring and the other is a hot spring. But due to the technology at the time, Lepidus could not create an artificial hot spring, so he had to give up, because "artistic exaggeration" had to allow blind Homer to do it, right? Then came the palace and temple. This was also the most expensive part of the entire project. Everything had to be made according to the oriental style at that time. Not only did it have a stone base, but it also had steps, columns, and fine drainage ditches. , which is equipped with kitchens, stables, weapons warehouses, mints, etc., and the temple is also built according to the description in the epic. On the highest point of the palace, Minerva, which is what the Greeks call the god Athena, was built. The materials for the temple are all ready-made and can be transported from the nearby Lepidus Fort. It is very convenient and the scale does not need to be large.

Finally, it was also a market day. In the evening, the soldiers and slave laborers had already retreated to the camp to rest. Adiana was dressed in gorgeous clothes like Helen, hung with gold rings and gold ornaments, and was holding a stick sold by an antique dealer. The snake staff, with its beautiful hair hanging loose, strolled in the newly built "palace", smiling and circling Lepidus, and chanted loudly, "Dear stranger, have you ever resented my words?

This group of people is obsessed with the pleasures in front of them, harps and songs, taking them without paying anything -

The owner is a pile of bones, rotting in the rain,

Either abandoned on the land, or rolled in the waves. "

Her voice echoed among the empty columns, because behind her was only Lepidus, who was wearing a Corinthian breastplate. Listening to Adiana singing verses from "Odysseus", the two of them were obviously playing "roles" "Perform", then Lepidus pressed Adiana against the pillar in the depths, looked into her eyes and said, "Have I ever disobeyed my goddess's warning? My chestnut-eyed Minerva."

"No, I am not Minerva, I am Helen, the woman who caused the complete destruction of this city." Adiana pushed Lepidus away and said with a giggle, "Look at my outfit, Helen is in this palace. She took off her gorgeous jewelry and clothes, and then fled without looking back." As she said, Adiana really thought of herself as Helen, with a little enthusiasm and whispering, "Her crown, her dress, his. Threads, her snake staff, etc." As she said that, she stood on Yuhui and the "ruins", and as she said, she took off these things one by one, leaving only Muse. Her body was praised highly. After giving birth to a child, she was much plumper than before. Then she waved to Lepidus and said, "Come on, treat me as a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people. My Agathios, use your bronze spear to kill me without any hesitation." Pierce my belly with mercy."

Then, "Agyras" held the "spear" and fought fiercely with "Helen" on the "Ruins of Troy" for a whole night under the setting sun and stars, but there was no winner.

It wasn't until the next day, when Sabo and others led the team to continue forward, that the two of them secretly put on another set of clothes, and then threw all the remaining clothes from last night's play in a messy way among the palace columns. , to cause the chaos that happened when the city fell.
