Chapter 29 Father and Daughter (1)

"I have no ability, I have to rely entirely on you. My mother told me that my responsibility is to be cautious." - The wife of Ishomahos of ancient Greece said to him

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bendu's monster ship had no intention of stopping. Its four sides were shot with arrows and flying stones, sweeping away the survivors floating on the water with great momentum.

Karabis stumbled to Helenputina's white horse, held the horse's neck, begged him to sacrifice his life for the hostess, and accept himself with great spirituality, although he had never ridden it.

The white horse whistled down and quickly knelt down. Karabis stepped up, and then he stripped off his heavy helmet and armor, wrapped his cloak on his body. The horse carried him to swim deeper, and the wind and water that were cold to the bones. At this time, a shout came from the shore. He turned around and saw Hebrida and several soldiers running to the beach and threw a lasso at him. He turned around to catch it and put it on his waist. The rocket shot by the Bendu people kept passing by, almost burning his hair.

The queen was a very responsive person. She promptly asked Elcapa to return to the rudder and rowed back towards the nearest acropolis. Ella also rolled the oars back on the boat. At this time, a big and small catapulted from the third-level rowing boat in Bendu hit Ella's boat. The boat swayed violently and lifted the little Niko, who was holding the lamb, into the water!

Almost three people leaped into the sea at the same time.

First, Karabis left the horse's back and swam hard to swim towards the direction where Niko fell into the water. The white horse did not make any noise. It had swam too far. It exceeded the limit that a horse could bear. After Karabis left, it hung its four hooves and slowly sank towards the bottom of the sea, shrinking into a blurry white shadow until it disappeared.

The second one was Ella, who was still wearing armor. She bit her ponytail in her mouth and didn't have time to take off her heavy armor. She just stabbed her into the sea and tried hard to lift Niko up with both hands to win even a little time.

The third one was the queen of Amazon. She wisely took off her armor and asked El Capa to continue to take the helm calmly in the direction of Neko falling into the water, and then jumped into the sea.

Hebrida on the shore pulled the rope and howled, "Get more ropes for me!" Several soldiers tied a knot on the ropes like relay to facilitate their legion envoy to swim deeper.

Karabis only knew to open his arms and use the breathing technique and swim speed that Tyranian taught him. He swam toward the direction of Niko in vain. He was like a flexible swordfish. He split the water waves and moved forward. The only thing he was afraid of was that before he swam to his daughter, Niko would sink into the water.

But when he grabbed Niko who was still floating on the sea, Niko's body sank suddenly, making him feel the soreness and weakness all over his body - he saw Ella, who was still holding his hands high in the waves, only half of her face was exposed above the water, her hair and body were all wet, and she was exhausted from being completely overdrawn. But when she saw Karabis taking Niko, she opened her eyes slightly, as if she smiled, then closed her eyes quietly, and with the armor on her body, she quickly sank into the sea water, first with the face, then her forehead, and finally with her stiff hands...

"Eira..." Karabis felt a wet and salty liquid flowing out of her cheeks. He remembered Ella's words, she had a child, but she could not save it. People without children could not understand the kind of love for the child and the pain of losing the child. But he could not continue to think more, because the rope was tightly placed on his waist, allowing him to make extra movements, and hugged Niko to the water as far as possible. Helenputina swam over there. She took the exhausted Karabis's force and pulled Niko over. Elkapa on the boat held a shield and resisted the flying arrows. While throwing a lasso, he quickly dragged Niko onto the boat.

At this time, on the tower of the Acropolis, the Roman soldiers fired stone bombs with fire at the small fleet of Bendu, and made a threatening attack, forcing the fleet to leave the shooting range of the Acropolis and move closer to the shore of the larger Ponticabien. Anyway, the main target arranged by Adianna for them was also here - the whole city had no intention of resisting, and the Bendu soldiers began to sit on the swift single-layer paddles and climbed onto the shore of the city. Soon the city began to emit flames and smoke, and it began to fall.

Karabis was very tired, his hands and legs were stiff like wood, and his eyes were full of black spots swimming around, "I have no energy to go back, so let's do it, forgive me, Porti." He didn't even have the strength to feel nauseous and vomit, and quickly floated on the water like a dead fish. His body swayed with the waves, and the salty and bitter sea water poured in from his nose and mouth bit by bit, and his consciousness began to blur, until in the end, he was dragged to the beach by Highbrida and others with ropes.

The soldiers and centurion gathered in front of the legion envoy who was still breathing and shouted loudly. Hebrida kicked several of them hard, "This bastard is not asleep again - go find blankets and stretchers for brother, and carry him to the temple where there is a brazier!"

A stone bullet that flew from outside the city slanted to the eaves of the Minerva temple in the city, shaking the roof, and the dust fell down. It hit Karabis's face. He opened his hard eyelids. In front of him were the black dome and the shaking chandeliers. It seemed that he was lying on the ground, covered with a thick blanket, and the sound of soldiers walking around in his ears. He subconsciously touched the side, but touched a small ball of pointed tenderness, with a slight throbbing. He turned his face and saw Helenputina's gazelle-like eyes, looking at him at a loss.

"Where is Niko?"

"She's on your side, Karabis."

Karabis turned his head again, and his arms regained consciousness. Little Niko curled up like a cat, laying in his arms, and his small pale face began to turn blood.

"Thank you, my good girl is still alive." Karabis lay down his head with his back, feeling that the greatest happiness was on both sides of his body. Then he remembered Ella's last smile, and tears couldn't stop slid down.

Helenputina did not let Karabis go from her chest, and she remembered Ella and shed tears. After a while, the queen turned over and got into his arms and asked softly: "Will you bring Neko back to the distant Roman city? What will happen to her there..."
