Chapter 3 Planning (Part 2)
"Who is this rude barbarian warrior who is rude?" Although he knew the other party's identity, Adiana still had to show her superior qualities.
"That's my mother, Karabis is my father." Xiao Niko said with his head raised.
"Karabis, you were lucky three years ago, but I hope that the father and Obihus will successfully castrate you at that time." Adianna said a little dissatisfied. Obviously, she did not want the bi-eared pot to have too complicated relationships with the opposite sex. "If I calculate it, maybe when Biduita rescued me, you had a mercy with this rough barbarian warrior. Oh my God, I don't even have the interest to pity this declining little kingdom on the verge of destruction."
"Yes, so I sincerely announce that you are now the VIP of the Legion Advance Team and enjoy double the food and salary." Karabis didn't want this unreasonable princess to cause trouble, so he agreed to her as soon as possible and blocked her mouth. "Also, you don't have to take this female warrior to heart, she is just a mercenary of the Legion."
"Well, right, don't worry about everything, Karabis." Adianna regained her vigor and prepared to go to the room in the temple to sleep.
"Are you willing to be enemies with your father?" Karabis stood there and asked in the back of the princess.
"He abandoned my mother and me in the palace. Now I think I am a dead person and no longer bound by ethics and morality. My life is now burning instead of my resentful mother - Karabis, I just want to have a big fight with you now and will not think of other trivial matters." After saying that, Adiana left a long and oblique figure and turned into the bent aisle and disappeared.
Karabis watched the princess leave and was about to start the relevant matters. But he saw El Capa's small body standing in front of him, "Encourt, you must apologize to Her Majesty the Queen for what happened just now."
"I will not spend energy on such boring trivia, El Capa, I will make up for the queen and my daughter with more important things." Karabis gently pressed El Capa's shoulders, "I know that your desire to revive the Amazon kingdom is stronger than anyone else, and you don't want the current queen to be distracted by the bumps on the stove. Then we must seize the opportunity now and gain our own interests in the cracks between our enemies and allies - this is also for El Capa." After that, Karabis took the speechless El Capa and left.
The next day, Karabis arranged for senior centurion Hebrida as the leader, and led three brigades of Roman soldiers to sweep the remnants of the Copper Shield Army eastward. The Agayas were also accompanied by the minions. They took the seized pack horses as units, cleaned, demolished and burned all villages and towns along the way. This not only destroyed the hiding place of the remnants of the Copper Shield Army, but also turned the entire area into scorched earth, leaving the Pompei army, which was about to arrive, without a foothold.
In the end, hundreds of bronze shield soldiers were surrounded by sea highlands covered with gravel and stone cliffs. They had no food and were short of water and did not dare to escape back to the Simmerian Strait, because they were all territory of the Agayans who hated them, and they were afraid that they would be deliberately drowned by the locals when riding a boat. Without much trouble, all the members of the bronze shield soldiers surrendered. Hebrida announced at the beginning that all the prisoners stripped off their weapons, armor and flags and automatically became Roman military slaves.
What's more interesting is that Highbreda found something extremely valuable in the box they carried: the Eighth Legion's Eagle Flag.
Around the Acropolis, the rest of the people were on the beachfront and on the land of the seaside, with dense wooden stakes and Luzhai. The reason for getting these things is very good: to prevent the fleet of Bendu to attack or counterattack. Of course, Pompey's ship should not be able to land easily. Once it cannot land, it will be stranded on the sea surface, and it may be sunk by the storm that occurs at any time. This is something that any ship commander will worry about.
In the Bendu Copper Shield Army camp, there were mountains of supplies piled up, bags of poppy, honey, and wheat flour. In addition to the burnt, they were all sent to the Acropolis warehouse for long-term plans. Karabis and Adianna had already calculated that Pompei's fleet could not get around at all, because the Bay of Pontikabien was still controlled by Achilles of Pomtu. More importantly, the lighthouses of the city and the bay islands were all in the hands of the people of Pomtu, which was of great significance to the naval battles in ancient times: the lighthouse was the best command post for the naval commander, and the dock could provide repair services for ships damaged by artillery fire and storms at any time - these two points were not available, and there was not even a place to settle down. Once you entered the naval battle, you would definitely lose.
Pompei, who is proficient in naval warfare and has wiped out the entire Mediterranean pirates in a short period of time, will not be confused about this.
"Hey, Karabis, have you seen the island outside the bay? There is a permanent lighthouse there, now occupied by a team of people. If you want to win our war in the future, that place is the key to determining the balance of the battlefield." In the sea breeze, on the tower at the top of the Acropolis, Adiana pointed at a small island full of sharp rocks in the vast sea.
"Before, your fleet rushed into the bay, right?" Helenputina, who was standing next to the tower, suddenly asked.
Adianna's face showed a smug expression: "Yes, your former employer, Marca, is very stupid. He should have a commander deployed to dispatch the entire sea area, and then let his fleet rely on the bay and cooperate with the Acropolis' double-eared pots to defend us, but he did nothing. Our fleet easily rushed in, destroyed the long bridge, and cut off the connection between the Acropolis and Pontikabien."
"I can't defend myself, right? Ella died because of this." Helenputina said intentionally to Karabis.
Just as Karabis was about to comfort Niko's mother, Adiana said with an inexplicable expression, "When the army began to fight, there was no immortal." Well, in this statement, Karabis was still willing to admit that the princess was right, but Adiana was always a little girl who ignored the occasion. The blade under Helenputina's shield stretched out, "I regret why did she cooperate with Karabis to pull you up with a chain when she fell from the city wall? Now it seems that this is entirely out of Karabis' selfishness, and you should turn into a pile of rotten meat at the foot of the city wall!"
Seeing this, Karabis touched a shield against the wall with his hand, but he had no confidence that he could block the Queen's blade in time.
