Chapter 4 The End (Part 1)
"All young men who are satisfied with their wishes are knights on horseback." - Ezekiel
On the high ground on the harbor of Stola, a group of Roman generals and lieutenants, holding flags of glory and scepters, surrounded by Pompey in wide-edged purple robe. The great Pompey, a curly hair on his forehead swayed in the wind, and a group of sailboats appeared on the edge of the sea and sky. "Everyone, I hope that this General Bendu and Princess who came to surrender would bring us the news that Ubert is still alive."
"The legion commanded by Crassus and Lukulas, I heard that it was surrounded by Mitradala in the Acropolis before, and I don't know if it was destroyed." Next to Pompeii, Demethlius of Galilee looked at his fair fingers and said carelessly, "God of General, King Petra has been subdued. We should now be able to tie the bay leaf rings on the legion's logo. As long as our powerful fleet appears in the Sea of Simmerian in three days, everything will be settled, and you will enjoy the second triumphal."
"Also, the wealth of the 6,000 Tarante of the Emperor of Bendu. With this money, I don't have to face those annoying guys in the Senate. Before returning to Rome, I will directly integrate most of them into the legion fund and serve as a reward for soldiers and a place to purchase them. From then on, my status will remain unmoved. You have to understand that taking a group of centurions and soldiers who are dissatisfied with military pay at any time is a chore for me. Tuna Lukulas doesn't know how to deal with it, so he is finished."
Demethlius smiled like a flower, "Don't worry, I have already handled the details."
Pompei nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am too focused on the military formation. The negotiations between Xiaoya's various kingdoms and the Free City should be annoying, right?"
"It's okay. It's much easier than dealing with various stitches in the city of Rome." The answer from the Galilee Jew made Pompei laugh happily. At this time, the ship coming from the opposite side had already landed, and the general and the princess took a small boat to land, with haggard and humble faces. They were accompanied by the surveillance of the centurion of the army, approaching the greatest general in Rome, "Tell me the current situation in the city of Pontica Bien in the most concise language." This was Pompei's request for Minand.
"My Copper Shield Army has been lost, the great General Triumph, this is the most fundamental reason why I came to surrender to you. I was defeated by the rebellious Agayas and the Thirteenth Legion advance team." Minand did not hide his failure.
"You have a division of the bronze shield army, and you will be defeated by the advance team in the city of Rome that has just been upgraded to a legion. Oh my god, I don't know whether to be proud or sad. But what I care more about is, where is Mitradati. Ubert?" Pompei continued to ask.
"General, he can't last long. He has suffered serious trauma. He is already in twilight years, and his son is all dead. Now his military fund is also transported by Stratonics on the ship, and he respectfully contributes to you! Sooner or later he will die in mutiny or pain, or according to the habit of a king, and he raises his sword to commit suicide." After Minander said that, Stratonics handed a bunch of keys forward and handed it to Pompei. The Triumph General expressed gratitude to both of them, but he added: "You two have extremely wise choices, but I still hope to explain to the Senate that these things are the spoils of our army."
As he said that, the pedals on the ship were put down, and groups of strong sailors and soldiers carried the heavy boxes in the cabin to the open space on the shore. Demethlius took the key from Pompey's hand, walked down and opened the boxes one by one. Under the crowd's onlookers, he raised the iron can in the first box high and smashed it to the ground. In the crisp cracking sounds, the clear yellow gold and white silver, rolled all over the army generals and soldiers, and everyone beat the shield with swords, and cheered hugely.
"By the way, what are you interested in? Sinop, Pontikabien, or the governor of the entire Bosphorus?" Pompey, who saw this scene, asked Minander and Stratonics affectionately and generously.
In the cheers, Demethlius also felt great pleasure. In order to increase his excitement, he picked up another jar in the third or fourth box and broke it under his feet again. What was greeted was not a warmer cheer, but a surprise of the whole person: Demethlius looked down, sweat oozing out of his nose and the people, and what came out of the jar was just a mess of iron, copper, and stones.
All the generals and schoolmen around Pompei, including Murira who had been fighting with tuna before, and Sekdelius burst into a cry of voice. The whole scene was very funny. Pompei's smile when he saw this scene and the curly hair on his forehead became stiff again. Then his eyes turned to Minander and Stratonis, who were as stupid as a wooden chicken. "I think you both owe me a reasonable explanation for this."
"Your Excellency, I count it every day, maybe this can is the only one!" Stratonice's voice was crying.
"Dear woman, do you think that if you put a can of iron into a hundred cans of gold and silver or a can of gold and silver into a hundred cans of iron, which one is more in line with Ubert's style of conduct!? It's hard to imagine that you are still his pillow, and we were all deceived by him." Pompey's tone calmed down at this moment, "But I haven't lost yet, we must be quick, and the people behind the scenes of the Thirteenth Legion should also act."
In the city of Ponticabien, all the soldiers in the barracks held their swords, and wolves ran and raided on the streets, ignited and robbed. The new model centurions who had served as officers in the Roman legion had strong ability to instigate soldiers to rebel. "After Mitradati took the taxes of this city, they would drive us to invade Italy along Dacia and Thrace. Maybe other Greeks could deceive you, but I ran out of Pompeii's troops and could not deceive everyone-Mi
Tradati once mobilized 160,000 troops, but in Greece, Xiaoya was completely destroyed by the Romans. Now we are just going to attack the city of Rome. I entered Bendu's new model army just for the sake of generous salary. I believe everyone is the same. There is no need to sacrifice my life here. Since Bendu King put so much gold and silver in the vault of the Copper Shield Army, and now the Copper Shield Army has also been destroyed, we can only ask for the one that should belong to us in a tough way!"
At this time, from the palace of Mitrada, some tax collectors and eunuchs with round hats walked out. They were mournful and fought with each other. As soon as they walked out, they were surrounded by angry soldiers, grabbed them and shouted loudly about what they wanted.
"The emperor has two daughters, who married to Parthia, the King of Cyprus, and Otpeli. She is still the wife of the King of Armenia. We are responsible for asking for reinforcements." The eunuch explained without possession. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
