Chapter 31 The Roar of the King (1)
"I am the head of this country, and it will never be as easy as reducing me from this position to a second-rate person." - Julius Caesar
—————————————————————————
"Being a male slave in the Amazon Kingdom? How can it be so easy? Those who do work with their hands have to cut off their feet, and those who do work with their feet have to cut off their hands. Those who do work with their mouths and minds like Karabis should cut off their hands and feet together." El Capa appeared behind the queen and said intimidatingly, and then she sent the pieces of horse meat in her hands to the Queen and Neko's hands, and said lightly, "I'm not hungry."
But Karabis clearly saw that the tribal archer's face was white and small, and even his blond braid was broken. This was a standard manifestation of malnutrition, and this braid was always proud of El Capa.
At this time, Hebrida, who was biting the horse meat in her mouth, walked over and said to Karabis: "God is going to do something soon, but you definitely don't agree."
"Then you still ask me?"
"It's to reduce the guilt you know afterwards."
"Tell me, dear centurion, I always feel guilty about you."
Hebrida cleared her throat and said, "We have to consider what to do if the horse is finished. Just now, my brother suddenly thought that before your red-haired woman was robbing her boat, she threw down several eunuchs and did not escape in the acropolis when you robbed the boat for her."
"You mean!" Karabis stood up indeed, and he immediately shook his feet in front of the centurion who was always low, almost unable to stand firm - he was so hungry that he was dizzy. But he still pushed Hebrida. "Where are those eunuchs? Say it quickly!"
Hebrida could only say that they had just temporarily detained the fat and fat eunuchs in the warehouse and made plans after they had finished killing the mules and horses. However, Karabis didn't believe his lies at all. He walked through the corridor in three or two steps and ran to the warehouse of the second-level city defense platform. He used his sword to open the locked door and ran in with Helenputina to see. Sure enough, several soldiers and butchers were sharpening them with their knives! Several eunuchs were locked on the wall with chains, and they were yelling violently with their necks like hens.
"Stop, don't eat people." The eyes of the Legion envoy's bulging out of starvation were about to burst out from Mars.
A butcher with a drooling mouth, without putting down the knife in his hand, replied: "They have been killed before, and it's no big deal to be killed again. Anyway, such people who are being slandered are like mules and horses. Before they are hungry, they are ready to get the knife before they lose weight."
Another soldier agreed and shouted: "This is the end of being an eunuch."
Before Karabis could answer, one of the eunuchs howled when they saw the in charge, and said, "Don't kill me, don't eat my meat. I am a Yagaya, and I was coerced to be a waiter of Marca. Many of my fellow villagers were serving as servants in the Bendu military camp under the city. And I heard that our king was killed by Mitradati, so I would risk my life to leave the city and get food for your army to come to the Yagaya."
Hearing this, Karabis's eyes shone again. He stepped forward and grabbed the butcher's knife, and stopped the ropes and chains on the eunuch's body. Then Helenputina walked forward and said, "Let El Capa and I take him to try our luck. I hope Goddess Diana has not abandoned us."
As soon as Karabis was about to ask me to go, Helenputina held his chest, "Take care for Neko, don't let Ella down on death, don't forget that you shoulder the responsibility of the safety of the entire legion advance team. I, Queen Helenputina of Amazon, is still employed by you. This is my duty. After successful rescue, you will have to pay for the most spectacular and beautiful temple of hunting goddesses in this city for Neko, Ella and our kingdom."
The night was low, and Karabis wrapped his cloak in his cloak and sat cross-legged in the corner of the tower at the top. A moment ago, Helenputina and El Capa, with the eunuch of Agaya, sat in the basket one by one from the wall in an inconspicuous corner: the queen took the burial first, and the fat eunuch had a second place. Of course, the small El Capa also stepped on the eunuch's shoulders, holding the rope and descending with him. Then the three disappeared in the darkness and groped into the Agaya camp.
"Karabis, I heard from my mother that you are my father." Niko, who was being held, was confused by Kaabis, and had more sleepy eyelids, saying.
"Yes, good girl, I'm your father."
"Did my father just buy me lambs and sailboats?"
"Yes, my father has another responsibility, which is to bring you a lot of younger brothers and sisters." Karabis quipped.
"Where is Ella?" This sentence immediately made Karabis not know how to answer. He thought about it and took out the embroidered Persian belt from the box next to him, tied it around his daughter's waist, and wrapped it up twice, "Era has gone to a very distant place to be the female companion of Goddess Diana. It will take a long time to come back. This is the gift she left to you... When thinking of Ella, you can look at the stars in the sky." As he said that, Karabis felt that Niko's head had regained its weight. It turned out that the girl had tilted her head and was already asleep.
At about the early hours of the morning, the queen of Amazon appeared on the top tower with a tired face, "Karabis, I have met the Agayans, but we have to gamble."
In the next two days, Minand, who was patrolling the besieged positions, found that the Agajas of Korkis were obviously very hard--they first dug a trench horizontally, then dig in groups and then vertically. Each time they dug, they erected a protective wooden shed on it, covered with sandbags and leather, so that the Roman rockets could do nothing, and the last wooden sheds were like giant snakes, climbing towards the slope built by the Copper Shield Army.
"When we arrived under the city wall, we used a pickaxe and a pickaxe to destroy the foundation bricks and stones. Also, we drove the stakes into the wall and then ignited the fire and burned the Roman wall easily collapsed."
Minand nodded with satisfaction and gave a few instructions. The general meaning is that if you dig a wall, our copper shield army will definitely reinforce, pounce into the acropolis, pull out this nail, and you will naturally have a lot of money on the credit book. After that, Minand walked swaying to the governor's tent and opened the curtain. Stratonics and Pascius had been waiting for a long time.
"Marcha was actually killed by Philip. I said I would like to pay attention. This would easily make Ubert suspicious." Stratonics looked at the governor and looked so scared.
