Chapter 29 Father and Daughter (Part 2)

I have something to do in the morning, and today I will update the second time. Please support me. Happy Women's Day.

—————————————————————————

"Is there springs, woods, wastelands, wild horses, and elk?" The Queen asked a series of questions about "whether there is any".

Karabis shook her head and said, "There are only people, all kinds of people, and their patiences, to build this great and decaying city." At this point, he even felt that it was not a good thing to bring Nicole to Rome. Helenputina was also silent. She bravely curled Karabis' neck, looked at the man, and said, "Ela told me many times before her lifetime that she hoped Nicole could live a different life than our tribe. She said that a woman with children will no longer be stubborn about her own ideas, right?"

Just as Karabis wanted to answer something, El Capa's voice sounded next to him, "Since Her Majesty the Queen and the Legion's envoy have awakened, I have been traitorous - Envoy, the centurions of the Legion have been waiting outside the temple for a long time."

The queen's big eyes flashed with shyness and embarrassment, and she hurriedly turned around, facing away from Karabis, motionless, while Karabis quickly and gently pulled out from under the blanket, fearing that she would wake up the beautiful dream of Niko, so he crawled out, El Capa was standing at the entrance of the room, full of sad expressions, and she was extremely sad at the passing of Ella.

Carabis, dressed in armor, asked El Capa and walked to the main hall of the temple. From time to time, there were stone bullets whistling past his head. It seemed that the Bendu army had begun to besiege the Acropolis. I don’t know how long he had fainted.

"Karabis, if you ask who helped you change into clean and warm clothes after you fainted, don't be too moved, just brother and others." In front of the temple, when Hebrida saw him coming out, he raised his thumb and boasted, "After killing the Greeks, you can't lose money. You have to know that we Romans are not good at this, and helping you change clothes from top to bottom, which will affect my feelings in the hearts of my comrades."

"When I was sleeping, are you?" Karabis walked down the gravel stairs and asked this, which made the officers and soldiers around him laugh rudely. The short and strong Pop's face was covered with ashes, and only shining with his eyes shining. He held his helmet and saluted Karabis, "Pontikabien is finished. I heard that the new model army task force of the Princess Bendu had taken a day to capture it. Claudi was escorting the Governor Marca to escape outside the city."

"Brothers, now we can only rely on us. For half a month to a month, General Petterneus will definitely bring the main force of the army to help us get out of trouble."

At this time, all the centurions were silent, and Karabis stretched out his hands, meaning to speak straight, Hebrida licked his tongue and said, "When the bastard Malza ran away in advance, he took away most of the food and fodder in the Acropolis. Our current reserves can only last for one market day."

"Bastard..." Karabis wiped his face and said fiercely that there are indeed many coins in the soldiers' box now, but coins are just coins after all, and they cannot be eaten as food or worn as clothes. Then he thought for a while and said, "Kill the mules and horses that were brought in to satisfy your hunger."

"The mules and horses ran apart a lot, and were pulled away by Marca's men. Now there are only about thirty left, and it will take a few days to eat." As soon as Pope finished speaking, a stone bullet hit the stable next to everyone, penetrated the ceiling, and all kinds of wood and bricks flew up with smoke and dust, with the sound of a mule, "Now there is one less head."

"Then eat this dead mule first, don't waste it." Karabis then walked towards the tower at the top of the Acropolis, and told Pope as he walked: "In addition to the guard forces, let the soldiers stay in temples or warehouses, or hide under battle sheds in battlements to rest, do not walk around randomly, and cancel daily exercises to save physical strength and consumption. My dear Pope, although it is difficult for me to say this, from now on, the soldiers will be divided into three parts, one every other day, and one part will be responsible for city defense and alert. Only this part can eat two meals that day, and the other two parts will prepare troops and eat one meal a day."

When they reached the top tower, several soldiers were sitting on the wall and taking a nap, with shields and javelins beside them. Karabis did not wake them up, but looked out along the narrow shooting port. Because Pontikabiang is not short of stone, the acropolis was built extremely strong. It was built on a high ground near the sea according to the terrain. On the back is a steeper stone cliff. The tower is just parallel to the top of the mountain, and the entire acropolis is narrow.

The rectangle is only one of which leads to the mountain, which makes it difficult for the enemy to surround it. Moreover, the gate of the main gate is specially opened between the city wall and the cliff, and only one side can enter it. The gate is double-layered, and eight towers surrounding it and crossbow cannons form the death trap at the city gate. By the bay, the two walls of the acropolis are like arms, holding the small pier between them. There are also eight towers on the wall, with angles intersecting

The forks and the water areas on the tidal flats were all tied with wooden stakes by soldiers to prevent ships from breaking into the city. In the city, temples, soldiers' dormitories, stone trough reservoirs, small squares, warehouses, sewers and other facilities were all available. Looking down from the top, the peaks were covered with snow, and the dark blue pine forests reflected the ocean of the same color. The Bendu army set up four camps parallel to the acropolis. In the bay connected to Pontikabien, the small ship of Bendu

The line was lined up in a chain shape, "Probably Mitrada Tidal will enter his son's palace soon, and our command post still has a lot of things to stay there, it will be cheaper for him." Karabis said, "Sometimes I doubt why the fool of Marca did not stay in the Acropolis. What a solid barrier this place is. He took away all the food and money, and was completely greedy, and in the end he could only afford the princess."

"You have to add that if there is no food to eat, this is a solid coffin." Pope blew his nose.

"There are enough war preparation supplies, iron nails, leather, weapons, etc."

"Don't worry, Marca is not interested in these things. By the way, I have an idea, would you like to eat the horses of the Ala cavalry into your stomach?"

"Good idea, anyway, the war horses can't play any role under their butts now." Karabis expressed his approval.

As a result, a huge commotion occurred in the stables in the Acropolis in the evening. When a talkative infantry brigade soldier reposted the words of the Legion envoy, the Ala cavalry almost drew their swords and rioted. No one wanted to let the old guy mount become food in his stomach. It was not until Hebrida and other old centurions appeared that they suppressed it.
