But Crassus's expression was obviously unhappy with the proposal of Kasio. How much time would it take to pass through this desert? If the soldiers were only carrying standard combat equipment, as for mules and horses, they could not carry them. About five legions, with auxiliary troops, and nearly eight thousand mules and horses, consumed too much food and water. It would be much easier for a simple soldier team. As long as they crossed the desert, arrived at the Greek city there, and gained a foothold, they could easily launch a decisive offensive against Surena.

"But we must rescue the comrades who are still trapped in the Sixth Legion. They are taking on the major sacrifices of the role of sentinels. If we do nothing, it will be unfair to all soldiers." This is Crasso's answer.

This kind of answer will make all the generals, including Kassio, and the centurion, not have any objections, because they are legions of regular citizens, and they must not give up the rescue easily, otherwise everyone will be covered with terrifying stains in their future careers.

"But we cannot go deep into the desert too far. I still insist on my own opinion. We cannot discard the pack horses carrying equipment and food, and urgently recruiting ships, take transportation pressure along the Euphrates River, and slowly move closer to the city of Seleulia and meet Mindaz." The financial officer Kasio was still stubborn. At this moment, a laugh of unanimousness came out in the corner of the tent. This was obviously not the Romans, because there were no regular Romans who dared to laugh casually on such occasions. Kasio's eyes swept away. It was actually from the Arab chief Akbarus. He couldn't help but get angry at this guy. He asked, "Who gave the order that makes people like you unscrupulously in the military camp of the Republic? This is not a market for buying and selling animals in the city of Petra!"

Seeing the scene being awkward, Crassus explained carefully to Casio that he was still full of respect for his deputy general and financial officer, but unfortunately he was not obedient. He said that the great chief had helped the Roman army very much when Pompei's expedition to the east. Now many of the Pompei's army, even the chief vice-president Eugutavis, still recognize him, and it would be fine. The great chief was friendly and loyal. Then Crassus asked Akbarus why he lost his voice and laughed with a serious expression.

"I just want to say that although there are many talents here, I asked myself that I have lived and sold in Syria and the Assyrian desert for thirty years and still have a say in the favor and geography here. In addition, the inside line I installed in Taixifeng has received a lot of rewards, and Assassin Herod is preparing to evacuate Taixifeng."

What? The king of Parthia is going to leave the city of Taisie! This news surprised everyone, but Akbarus was serious about it. "I have clearly known the composition of the Parthian army ahead. They are not the main force of the country, and the main force happened to be severely injured by your deputy general Libidaus in the war of Mount Ramiy. Hellod is now in Aijira town and is always determined to abandon Mesopotamia and retreat to the distant city of Nisa (which is the Xia capital of the Parthians, and it is also the old capital). He believes that

The rise of this tribe can stop you. The elders of the Taixi Fengli are frantically transporting their own goods, and the enemy army in front of them is just Surena's private soldiers, with a total of no more than 20,000 people, most of them are poor light cavalry. In the previous battle in Sinaca, you have proved that the Roman army could easily destroy their impact. Therefore, Surena's troops are not so much coming to fight you, but rather being here to restrain you, making you hesitate and lose your determination to chase and annihilate the main force of Herod."

That's right, in my letter to me, Caesar repeatedly emphasized the importance of determination and enthusiasm. As long as he can cooperate with Libidaus, he will be fine to sweep the enemy in front of him.

Kasio stood there, silently. He was already tired and completely tired. The most difficult thing in reality was to pull a dying person back from the grave, which was harder than pushing a down-and-out man to the position of consul. Kasio retreated in a corner with a tired face, then sat down, covered his cloak in front of his mouth, and said that he would not make any suggestions.

When the chief centurion of the First Legion pulled up the wooden stakes of the tent in the camp, the sand and soil brought out were quickly swept up by the wind and flew towards the blurry field in the east. Then, teams of Roman soldiers held their own brigades and walked towards the desert. They left the city of Sinaca according to the request of the governor, threw down most of the pack horses, and also left the gentle Euphrates River. All the soldiers carried dry food for several days and carried 40 kilograms of equipment - swords, javelins, shields, pickaxes, and tent clothing.

The square luggage formed. Kassiyo, with tears in his eyes, firmly asked all the soldiers of the First Legion to store the will and all the silver coins in the small temple in Sinaca City. The soldiers lined up silently in the temple, carefully tied wool, ribbons, etc. to the small statues of various colors, some were made of wooden and some were made of copper. Many people even had gold chains and gold hanging belts obtained from their previous achievements, with the names of the family clans engraved on it, and there were small paper scrolls, with words begging people to write to their families.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Kassie asked to go out and see. It turned out to be a cavalryman named Ignagius. His favorite Spanish horse, after all his saddles were installed, suddenly became crazy and bitten several military slaves. Then he rushed into the Euphrates River and drowned, causing Ignagius to cry.

"I'll cry in advance, and die in advance. This method is much better than dying miserable in the desert." Kasio said silently.

Slowly, the shadows of the Roman legion soldiers were dragging longer and longer on the ground. What they saw in front of them gradually changed from a green plain to a semi-barren field. Finally, their military shoes stepped into the soft desert, and then they felt worried from their hearts. Then the desert beneath their feet rushed towards everyone like continuous waves, carrying dull and hot air. A team of 40,000 people, including five legions, about 30,000 people, plus 4,000 auxiliary cavalry, included two thousand Aidui, two thousand Geraxia, and five thousand stone casters recruited from all over Xiaoya. In addition, Crassu's private entourage and staff also had nearly a thousand people, but in this large desert, it was like a strange stream, which could be ruthlessly evaporated and erased at any time!
