Mitrada was sitting in the sedan chair, with its mouth hanging down, and its huge body shrank a lot, very depressed. Stratonics, who was sitting next to him, gently pressed the emperor's shoulder and comforted him, "Your Majesty, there is no more tragic and terrible news than this... But what you need now is the anger and belief of fighting the enemy, not the sorrow of nothingness."

"Yes, yes, we have to conquer this fortress, kill all the Roman dogs, use their heads and internal organs to pay homage to my sister, to Zeus and the god Mitra!" Mitradati took the sword of Altolicus and roared in a low voice. Then he suddenly saw Adiana, Turksil and others' eyes flashing, and he pondered for a moment, pointed at Karabis and said, "Who is he? Adiana, you have no such slave before."

"This man who has been following me when I was in trouble is a loyal slave. His name is Karabis, and he has obtained his when your palace falls."

"Oh, not only loyalty, but also has a foreign face that can despise the boy and the girl. Adianna, my good girl, maybe you should pay attention to it. It is not too late to hold chastity before getting married to the Kingdom of Codini. The pursuit of joy will continue after marriage." Mitradati looked at Karabis and said in a questioning tone, which was obviously aimed at Karabis. Then the man gasped and moved his fat body so that his posture would be more comfortable. He snapped his fingers, "I remember, good girl, I can completely ask about this small thing-Timus!"

At this time, the guard, the head guard, Obihus, who was beside Mitrada, covered his mouth and smiled humbly at Adiana. Adiana looked at the flattering guy from the old musician with disgust. She hated him and his daughter as much as her aunt.

Although Timothus, although he had a Greek name, he was actually a Scythian from the Bosphorus grassland. He was a doctor. Yes, he was an extremely strange doctor. He wore thick and dirty animal skins, his equally dirty hair combed into spherical cactus-like braids, and his face was full of scars carved with swords. This was done by the elders of the tribe when he was born. I hope this man would not be afraid of the blade in the future (he was indeed not afraid of the blades. Like the warriors, he relied on the blades and wound medicines to eat). He had a pottery jar in his hand. Everyone inside knew that it was full of poisonous snakes, with scythes, cloth strips, knives hanging on his waist. Two assistants behind him held fixtures, and skeletons were mixed.

"What's the matter?" Timoxiu touched his mouth and said in a rough and generous voice.

"My dear Timothus, immediately perform castration surgery on this person named Karabis." Mitradati turned his fingers easily and pointed at the shocked Karabis.

"Castration! It means to call me like Baloud in the palace, be a eunuch or a father-in-law?" Karabis and his friends were both shocked.

"No, today three days are the date for the White Deer God to jump into the sky. I cannot use the blade." Timoxiu refused briefly.

"Then it will be three days later."

"It won't work in three days. That's the day for our priests and horses, the fish god."

"You! Okay, Timothy, you have to remember this." Mitradati lost interest in continuing to study such a small matter. "I ordered all the troops to log wood all night and build siege equipment, and to lay down that fortress for me tomorrow."

On this night, Karabis made up his mind to slip away. He was not willing to "bet and face" under the ugly Timothus knife for a while. Even if Adiana offered him a salary of 3,000 drachmas every year, he could not change his mind. Instead of being a well-dressed eunuch in the people of the capital, it would be better to go to the Romans to be a physically and mentally sound camp slave-as long as he could take Porti to escape!

Karabis, sitting next to the wheel axle of Adianna's car, biting his nails and thinking silently.

Although Karabis would not be treated as "castration", the next day, the attack on the Apis camp began on time. Many infantry holding round shields howled, carrying firewood and pottery jars, trying to build several simple pontoon bridges in front of the Roman camp. However, Apis organized a group of slightly injured soldiers on the tower. They used crossbows and cast stones to shoot the Bendu soldiers marching through the river. Many of them were smashed to the heads and folded backs, or were heavy javelins shot out by the crossbows, and the blood donated from the river stained the entire river's water red.

However, the officers in Bendu relied on the large number of people and continued to shout loudly and curse their subordinates, sending them out in groups. Finally, two or three floating bridges leading to the Roman camp beside the corpses piled up, and then the monster-like siege ram "Kawuqi" was pushed up with a rumbling rumbling.

"Kawuzi" is 16 feet long, 8 feet wide and 7 feet high. The frame is built with lighter wood, and then two layers of branches are covered with both sides to prevent the enemy's spear and dagger from stabbing the soldiers pushing the object; goatskin is covered with top to prevent the enemy from throwing the flames and burning it; inside can a hammer hammer with a bronze sheep's head, or a scythe with a barb - because Apis's camp was erected with thick wooden fences, so the latter is used this time.

Three or four Kawuqi came in full force, but when they arrived in front of the Roman camp, they were all stunned - Apis was not idle last night. He asked the soldiers to quickly build two semicircular earthen walls in front of the fence, and the middle was filled with mud. This kind of sandwich-style thing, "Cwuqi" even had three extra heads, so it was impossible to penetrate!

Bendu soldiers were also powerful. When they saw that they couldn't get through, they carried the ladder and ladder on the earthen wall. They climbed up on the ladder. Like rows of ants, the soldiers under Apis surrounded the tower and the wooden ladder, operating the "scorpion crossbow" (a small hand crossbow), and violently shot out small and thin arrows, causing the Bendu soldiers to plant onions backwards and fall down. Then several Roman soldiers held sharp axes and cut off the pulleys on the ladder on the wall one by one...

Climbing the tower, the Bendu people on the wall were swept away all the way Mitradati Army was defeated. But before noon, the Romans in the camp were still eating. Most of the archers of Mitradati came from Scythia, Miti and other places, and they boarded the "elephant cart" according to the team. A large number of soldiers pushed these tall carriages with wheels into the range of the Roman camp, and of course the camp was also within the range of these archers.

The call sounded, and many of the archers in Bendu wore Eastern-style helmets, half-body lock curtains, covered with elephant carriages with leather-wrapped bows, and then stood up and shot them. Waves of arrows rose up in the air for a rapid pace, and then stayed at a point for half a second, then turned down, dived with the sound of death, and the Roman camp became a center of circle falling from all directions, descending "swoosh swish", piercing the heads, back of the soldiers, and nailed them to the ground, allowing the blood to flow out in the howling.
