Chapter 26 The Queen's Hate (2)
In the city of Pontika Biang, a Greek-style building courtyard, with snow still on the roof and steps. A light brown-haired girl in thin clothes crawled up along the rippling columns, then raised her eyes, pouted and folded off a long ice skate, and then slid down again, then jumped into the snow, holding the ice skate excitedly, dancing around like a sword.
The ringtone rang, and she saw a gray and arrogant little goat running from the snow. The ringtone was exactly the golden bell on its neck. There was a small car behind the lamb. The girl clapped and laughed, rushed over and stepped on the bleating little goat, lifting the "sword" in her hand higher, and with a pirate-like cry.
Then she saw a man in a legion cloak standing in front of the courtyard gate, holding the rope from the lamb cart in his hand, smiling at her, giving her a familiar feeling - yes, his lips and nose were exactly the same as his own. The girl under four years old got off the lamb and shouted to rush to the man. Karabis's tears were about to flow down again. He squatted down and stretched out his arms towards Xiao Niko, preparing to have the warmest hug between father and daughter.
As a result, the sharp icy sliver in Xiao Niko's hand was as fast as lightning, hitting his chin and chest hard, causing him to cover his face and kneel on the snow. Then Niko gave up the attack and stood there uneasyly, looking at the strange man.
"It's you, can you find this place?" Helenputina wore a home-colored lavender robe, braided her wavy red hair, walked down the steps, and El Capa and Ella followed her. Seeing this, she walked to the stables on the side of the yard, and began to feed the horses and put saddles on them.
"Yes, it's not difficult to find, Helenputina. I just need to find the Diana Temple in Pontikabiang. You must be nearest." Karabis bit his lip and stood up. Seeing that his mother was coming, Xiao Niko carried the ice sliver. Standing beside her mother, she was like a little samurai, but her eyes were looking at Karabis from time to time.
"There are three large and small places in the city, unless you started looking for it in the middle of the night last night." Helenputina said, holding her chin with her hands.
Karabis made a surrender gesture, "Yes, yes, I stuffed a lot of money to the officers of the Marca Palace, they told you where you were, and walked here. It took me a daytime."
"Now you see Niko, please go back. I received your gift." Helenputina patted Niko on the shoulder and signaled that she could go back to the house, but the little girl ran to the lamb again, touching the soft wool, while continuing to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two adults curiously.
"I want to ask, what's going on in your kingdom!" Karabis asked suddenly.
The three Amazon female warriors present turned their heads to Karabis. After a while, Helenputina said: "There is nothing to hide. There are only a few hundred people left in my kingdom, most of whom are women who are too old to fight, and a small number of slaves live in the forest and mountain villages."
"I can help you revive the Amazon Kingdom."
Helenputina smiled lightly, "Karabis, don't worry, because our kingdom has been like this for thousands of years. I just need to charge ten tarantes per year here in Marca to support everyone."
"But you can settle the accounts! Hundreds of elderly women who cannot work and can only rely on these rewards to support themselves. If this continues for only thirty years, the Amazon Kingdom will automatically perish. At that time, the one who bears the shame of the country's demise is my Karabis' daughter!"
Hearing this, the Queen of Amazon also raised her voice, "Niko has no father, she is just my daughter, the future Queen of Amazon."
Karabis took a step into the courtyard and placed his hand on his chest, "No, she is my daughter, I will swear in the name of a father for her temple full of hunting goddess Diana in Afilica, Spain, Gaul."
"You're so confused, Karabis, let's protect this city first under the edge of Bendu's army! At least I still hope you can survive." After Helenputina said that, she really took Niko's hand and entered the house...
"It's really boring, I'll take a step first." On the other side, El Capa, with his braided hair hanging, impatiently riding on the horse, Dalada left the courtyard. Then, "Storm Ella" rode a horse and brushed by Karabis, secretly patting his shoulder, "The Queen is about to change into armor and go to the palace of Marca to meet him, because the army of Bendu has besieged the Acropolis, and can fight side by side with you, Karabis, take care of him!" After saying that, he also whipped and rode away.
"Oh, see Marca?" Karabis turned around, looked at Ella's back, and then looked at the door of the main hall of the courtyard filled with snow. The little gray sheep looked at him and screamed intimately.
In Marcha's circular bedroom, Karabis sat on the ring chair with his legs raised on the drawing table. Claudi sat next to him with a dull smile, not sure how close and friendly he was to Karabis! Because all the centurions stood in two rows like a glaring King Kong, Marcha, the governor of Bosphorus, had his eyebrows hanging down, looking angry, and stood with his head bowed, almost like a servant.
Helenputina, El Capa and Ella, who were standing by the door, stood blankly in place, not understanding what happened last night.
"Queen of Amazon, right? Now your original employer has already transferred the army of your kingdom, yes, to a total of three people, to me, that is, you are now an auxiliary force of the Legion. I forgot to introduce it. I am the special envoy of the Thirteenth Legion, Karabis Gornalius Marcos, this is my superior, Lord Bablius Claudi, he is the deputy general of the Legion."
When he was introduced, Claudi tilted his face to Helenputina, still with a dull and charming smile, "To add, I have handed over the command of the front line to the envoy of Karabis, yes, full authority."
Helenputina looked at Karabis with her legs crossed, and asked seriously: "So, what are the arrangements for the war in the direction of the Acropolis?"
"We lack ships, and the long bridge and chains between the Acropolis and Pontikabien opposite the bay must prevent enemy ships from attacking and cutting off the two connections. Our opponent is Adiana, the princess of Bendu. This woman is extremely cruel and vicious and proficient in tricks." Karabis touched her nose, thought for a while, then put down her legs and pressed her hands to the drawing table. "There must be more wooden stakes and shipwrecks in the bay so that the ships of Bendu will not be allowed to come in."
