Chapter 19 Beheading (Part 2)

Several followers in front of Pacros were immediately bounced to death, and their bodies were almost torn apart. The prince lowered his body calmly and flexibly, skillfully turned his horse's head, held a spear, stabbed two Roman cavalrymen who were chasing under the horse, then shook out his lasso, captured and pulled one of the horses, and ran towards the Tigris River. In the middle, he was protected by a group of unbreakable cavalrymen. Seeing that the prince was in danger, the group of cavalry launched a suicide counterattack charge against the Liwus Legion and the Skylark Legion, who were rushing to pursue. After a fire, they were all caught and killed in battle like fallen leaves.

The soldiers of the Liwus Legion in the front team knelt on the spot and continued to load skillfully, while the team attacked again. They were about one Stadia away from the Prince of Parthia who was parked on the shore!

"Where are cavalry, cavalry!" Even the group of brass and spearmen abandoned the glory of capturing or killing the enemy princes with their own hands, and anxiously called on the cavalry to come, but the cavalry under Li Bida were scattered and chasing the enemy's defeated soldiers, and had not been gathered for a while.

At this moment, the high priest had already climbed up with the guards' escorts to Gao Fu, who had just tried to escape. "What a young hero. I didn't expect that Hellod, a waste, had such a heroic son." Under the flag, Li Bida looked at the siege and blocking, and was still calm in the siege, like a tiger with an age and powerless head, admiring the newborn baby lion.

Then, the high priest suddenly issued an incredible order, "If Pacruz is really lucky, he will order all infantry and cavalry not to chase after him and let him wade through the Tigris River. Let him go."

When the flags and warlocks sounded, all the soldiers chasing along the river bank could hardly believe their eyes and ears, but the high priest had always been forbidden. If he wanted to be a hero again, his previous achievements would be abandoned mercilessly. So the soldiers were all in a tight formation and watched Pacros continue to run along the river bank until he found a Asase. The prince turned around and looked at the high priest's eyes in the distance. Then he took the brisk horse he had captured, and jumped into the rolling river without hesitation and moved to the opposite bank.

Pacros finally escaped to the other side. He then rode alone into the city of Seleulia, which had not yet fallen, gathered several partners, and found a small boat. Then he risked his life at night to cross the Tigris again. After going through all the difficulties, he caught up with his father.

Half a market later, six Roman legions from Kale entered the unguarded Seleulia. On the evening of the same day, Libida's legion also entered the Dongdu Tessifon of Parthia without blood.

Almost all the city fortresses on both sides of the Tigris River fell into the hands of Libida. The kingdoms such as Nabatai, Petra, Masaget also sent envoys to express their request for submission.

At the gates of lion stone statues standing on both sides of Taisifon, the high priest dismounted amid cheers and said to Galius and others, "We do not need to pursue the enemy like Alexander the Great. This is the eastern territory of Rome in the future. This beautiful winter capital is just waiting for the messenger of Hellod to come, and he will definitely come to seek peace."

Then, the high priest leaned on his sword, and Neko followed him with a spirit and walked onto the boulevard leading to the Assassin Palace. On both sides were soldiers and horses and horses shouting slogans shaking weapons and torches. In this atmosphere of fanatical victory, the high priest stepped onto the royal temple on the side of the palace, where the small plaster statue of Herod was standing on the pedestal.

The high priest flicked his cloak and turned to all the soldiers who were listening under the steps, and said, "I have washed away my shame and anger for His Governor of Syria, the former death of Syria, and have avenged all the soldiers who died in the Kale Desert!"

"Long live!" All the soldiers raised their swords and spears and responded.

Then the high priest cried, and he shouted the second sentence on his back, "And this is the glory of His Excellency Julius Caesar."

The soldiers were silent for a while, then Flacus raised his fists and shouted, "Long live Caesar, long live the high priest!" Then all the soldiers shouted in unison and responded.

"Here, the temple of evil gods established by the Parthian rats will be destroyed, and replaced by the Temple of Diana." Li Bida took the torch in his daughter's hand, pointed to the pillars of the temple and continued to say the third sentence with pride, "Tesifeng will become the front line of the Roman Empire, and it will no longer be the Dongdu where the Parthians indulge in pleasure. Since that's the case, this statue should do this!" After that, he inserted the torch on the base, brushed it out of his sword, waved his hands with all his strength, and then, in the midst of the soldiers' crazy cheers, he cut off the head of the Herod plaster statue with one sword. The "head" rolled down the steps in the flames, and was soon broken by the soldiers who were fighting up.

The glorious merits of the high priest reached its peak after the capture of Tessifon. He would be the highest king of Rome. From this ocean to that ocean, no one dared to question it.

However, the performance of "killing Hairod" in front of the temple was just a performance of soldiers and gangsters. In private, in the palace on the artificial lake of the Taixifeng Palace where you can raft, Li Bida rewarded all the captured Hairod harem to his subordinates, and then met the secret envoy sent by the other party, just as he had calculated before.

"My second-tier legion in Xiaoya has not moved yet, and they are still eager to enter the city of Nisa to enjoy the scenery." Facing the envoy, the high priest just said this.

In the end, in order to preserve the throne, Hellod agreed to the humiliating conditions - all the land and cities on both sides of the Tigris River were cedeed to Libida, and Libida also supported Mindaz in the city of Chinodosha, became the king of the "King of Parthia", and wanted to be recognized by Hellod (this is a huge joke that Libida played against Hellod); the Parthian Empire, for twenty years, compensated 250 tarantes every year to the Romans; Parthian gave up all diplomatic relations with Egypt, Judia and Armenia; Hellod handed over his concubine's young daughter and married Lebida's servant Matthia to show his surrender. In the end, about 5,000 Roman captured soldiers from the Battle of Carre were all released within a month.

"The lion and the sheep are always happy and at ease." This is Li Bida's final arrogance of this peace talk, which was also written on Akuta, handed over to the Senate, the Executive Yuan and the People's Congress, and read in front of all the Romans.

However, I really don’t know whether this sentence was his feelings for the Parthians or his feelings for the Romans?
