Takton is the key to connecting Bitinia, Bendu, and Anatolian Mountains. Twenty years ago, it was originally the advance base for Mitradati VI to attack the west, but later it was captured by the Roman general Lukulas, and now it is a strong barrier guarded by King Ubertnian.

Five thousand small Kings of Ubertnia were recruited by Adiana before the war, who spent all the royal treasury and spent all the gold and silver. They were the mixed army of Cappadocians, Galatians, and the pirates who had previously been resettled by Pompey. They were here tenaciously guarding Taktun, resisting the Brutu Legion, and the re-established Copper Shield Legion by Minand. The two combined were no less than 15,000 people.

In the room of the core tower in the city, His Highness personally held a sharp sword, sat upright on a small ivory carving chair, with soft chestnut hair hanging, brown lynx hair cloak, and a golden box pendant hanging around his fair and slender neck. A large group of confidential slaves, maids and guard warriors were constantly busy, counting various data and battle situations:

"The letters of help sent to Gerasha and Armenia have been sent, and there should be three thousand archers and cavalrymen here to reinforce us."

"The document of using lake salt for withdrawal has been signed, stamped with the queen's seal, and sent to the Jewish Chamber of Commerce immediately."

"General Dihimos, who is in the Syrian province of Rome, has declared neutrality for the third time, and our backyard should not be disturbed by them."

"The soldiers' wages can be extended for another half a year. Our treasury still has so much savings, and there will be no risk of scarcity."

"Today, the enemy wanted to go to the side of Taktun City again and cut off our two paths. However, the trenches and fortresses dug by our army in advance were blocked. We won and killed 200 enemy cavalry."

After hearing this, Adiana smiled with satisfaction on her lips. Then, the famous female slave holding a letter in her hand, holding a letter, and saying, "The letter from the Roman cavalry commander is here."

"Captain? He has become the deputy of the dictator!" Adianna was even more proud. After taking the letter, she looked. Then she couldn't help but feel excited and walked to the crossbow cape outside the tower, which could just look down at the entire fortress and the enemy's siege position.

Originally, when Adiana marched into Silesia and drove Cicero away, she suddenly turned around and captured the city of Taktun. Because she had long expected that the decisive enemy would come from the north, especially the Minanders who hated her bones, she presided over the large-scale renovation and reinforcement of the fortress in Taktun, first around the old city. The new wall with a circumference of fifty-stadia was built. The wall was located at a high point facing the enemy. Below was a deep stream with a steep slope. The slope was filled with dense pickets and javelin heads. Then Adiana built a huge core granary and arsenal with an independent city wall, which was enough for 5,000 people to eat and fight for two years. On the city wall tower, she had already spent a lot of money to hire Xi from Samos.

La mathematician and engineer Philo designed the tower to be jagged, and the piping crossbow on it was accurately calculated and could shoot to any area below without dead corners. On both sides of the castle and connected to the canyon, Adiana built a wall of roads, protecting Taktun like two arms. Each had its own independent camps behind it, each with corridors and streets and Taktun and the hinterland of the rear kingdom, which could effectively prevent the enemy's light infantry and cavalry from raiding. Today, Brutu sent an ala cavalry team to do this. As a result, in front of the trenches and wooden fences, Adiana's projectiles were killed by Adiana's projectiles. Although the numbers reported by his subordinates to the queen were exaggerated, Brutu still lost at least thirty to fifty cavalrymen.

There were many bloody corpses in front of the trench, and some Ubertnian soldiers were cleaning there. This scene caught Adianna's eyes. She felt even more courageous. "Still the Karabis army came, I would wipe out the copper shield legion of Minander, a lowly slave. Now it seems that there is no problem at all."

After thinking about it, Adiana called the maid and said, "How many people are there with her in the palace? " The maid replied that there were about fifty people, all of whom were trained in dance and folk art. Adiana murmured, and then said that the fifty female slaves would apply makeup at night and send them to the camp of the meritorious soldiers, and take out a gift of one hundred Drakema silver coins for each person. Then, Adiana sent a letter of provocation to the besieged Minander camp:

"You and the slut Stratonis, through despicable means, called you two dirty illegitimate sons, the children of my father, bribed the villains around Pompei, and stole the fertile and vast land of the Kingdom of Bosphorus. They are still not satisfied. They do not know that they fear the gods and have indecent delusions. They take advantage of the Roman civil war to land in the old kingdom of Bendu. With your lowly origins, you still want to overtake the throne of the King of Bendu? Now after a month and a half of siege, you and the Roman counterparty unit cannot surpass the straits of the city. This does not show the contrast between strength and wisdom.

In any case, are Zeus on my side? Because I am a descendant of the authentic Mitra royal family, and my children are also the authentic grandson of His Majesty Eubert. The cavalry commander of the Roman Republic will soon lead the huge elites of five legions to this city. Your ashes with faint Mars will soon melt like the thin ice in the spring of the following year. Now, the noble couple will be exiled, poison your undesired sons and sacrificed them to the entire territory of the Bosphorus Kingdom. I can also consider giving the noble couple a way to survive." In addition, in the box where the letter is located, there is also a bag of sachets attached.

Minander asked the servant to open it. After carefully dismantling it, the servant fed a hunting dog in the tent. As a result, the beast just licked a few mouthfuls of the powder and shook all over his body. He cried loudly and turned into a stiff body.

This was Adianna's naked intimidation method. She was obviously proficient in the dark night method of her deceased father's death. However, she did not poison the letters and books, but just placed the poison in a conspicuous sachet to demonstrate to Menander, "If I want to take your life, it will be easy."

"I just live with a military slave of the Romans back then, and gave birth to a wild child who was unknown to the future. He claimed to be the grandson of Ubert. This kind of slut who abandoned the dignity of Mitra's royal family is worthy of writing a letter and clamoring! I will immediately capture the castle in front of me and massacre everyone, including her!" Seeing the scene in front of me, Minand angrily threw the letter at his feet.
