Chapter 5 The Return of Claudius (Part 2)

"I have two choices to go ashore, everyone. Even if the Greeks in Bendu are stingy, they actually wanted to kill my little babu." The muscular man was Macmillan. He was still very passionate when he arrived on the shore, hugging "Bab" Claudi even tighter. "Fortunately, our people saw the escaped little babu in the area of ​​Hersonez and rescued him, so the two choices were - the first, let me rob the city as much as possible."

"Sorry, I don't have time to listen to your second choice. Anyway, this city has been looted twice, so you should make your first choice, please." Karabis stepped forward and saluted the "Little Bubu" in Macmillan's arm. "Now I have something important to do, and I want to report to the Deputy General."

Macmillan looked at Claudi, and Claudi smiled shyly, then stood on tiptoe and said a few words affectionately to the other person's ear. Macmillan laughed loudly, pinched Claudi's mouth, patted his buttocks, and hit Claudi in front of Carabis, saying that he could temporarily lend him to the subordinates of the legion to discuss matters.

In the garden next to the palace, Claudi walked back and forth anxiously. He even held the hands of Karabis and the princess, begging them not to tell this, especially Karabis, not to spread the news between him and the pirates in the city of Rome. "How could it be? Deputy General, you will be the civilian guardian immediately, and you will rely on everything in the future." Karabis swore sincerely, and then he looked at Adiana and held the "Altolicus" held by the princess with his hand.

The princess hesitated for a while, then cast a trusting look, asking Calabis to take away the sword and the scabbard inlaid with precious diamonds. Calabis respectfully handed the magic weapon to Claudi. "Rong Bian. In fact, Mitradati has died. This is the princess. I think you know it too. OK, there is no need to repeat the extra words. The princess hopes that you will bring this spoil to Rome to perform their merits and compete with Pompey in the future."

"Is there any reason?" Claudi asked, stroking the sword in surprise.

"My Madam Princess does not want the body of the father to be acquired by Pompey, so do I. I believe the same is true for the Deputy General. I think everyone's interests are the same in this regard. In fact, I stuffed a fake body to swear Pompey, and you went back with this sword that can truly symbolize the identity of Mitradati, and there is this." Carabis also handed over the amber board he just wrote to Claudi, "Go and Caesar, don't give it to Cicero, they will naturally know how to do it, and they can even win a small triumphal sensation for you. You are the hero of the Thirteenth Legion. You are very good for your term as a civilian guardian. The civilians and nobles will worship you frantically. You are about to call the wind and rain in the city of Rome, and even Cicero, Gatu and even Pompey, will not dare to offend you easily." Carabis's words were full of seduction.

"Yes, I will bring this spoil that symbolizes the merits of our legion back to Rome, immediately!" Claudi's eyes shone brightly, "With Macmillan's ship, you don't have to worry about Carabis."

"Listen! Don't stop halfway. It's better to get ashore somewhere and go to Rome by land, so that you won't cause unnecessary trouble." Carabis knew Claudi's urinary nature and reminded him in a more emphasis, "Everyone's glory is all about you, and I stay here to complete some extra missions. Deputy General, I am the adopted son of Marcos, but I am also your sister's most loyal servant. Even if she is abandoned by the Lord, I still hope to contribute more to your brother and sister."

"This really touched me. Karabis, after returning to Rome, I will fight side by side with you at the banquets of all sizes and big and small. We are the closest comrades in the army!" Claudi's eyes flashed with tears, and he fisted with Karabis, and then turned around and left.

The city of Pontikabien in the setting sun was full of loneliness of the king's fall, and the golden colors covered the entire bay, just like a gorgeous mosaic. On a rubber wooden boat, Adiana, holding the urns and letters, was tiredly placed on Karabis' shoulders. She had explained to Achilles and Archilus that she hoped to rent a ship, first go to Casto City to meet Pompei, then go to Sinop to bury the bones of her father and brother in the royal cemetery of Bendu. Finally, she would obey Pompei's arrangements, or be named a noble lady who owns a city in the Bendu Empire, or be married to a vassal king like Charnus.

But Carabis expressed his objection, and he believed that using Achilles' ship was not safe enough - it would be better to repair the white sailboat brought by Adiana in advance - anyway, the crossbows only smashed the mast, deck and sail rope, and it was easy to repair. The craftsmen and the paddlers were everywhere in the army of Bendu after the disintegration, and even the price of employment was very cheap.

In this way, they have to spend two or three days in the Acropolis.

Then at the city gate before the sunset, Helenputina led the horse and wanted to say goodbye to Karabis again.

"Karabis, actually... I have thought seriously about this question, that is, Neko, no, even me, whether to live with you. I used to be prepared to give up the position of the Queen of Amazon and want to entrust Neko to you. Yes, you love Neko. Maybe Neko really needs a father, but... Neko is the deer in the forest. The city where you are must be a very terrible place. I only saw many people of all kinds, even a body was to compete for. So please forgive me, I cannot hand over my daughter to you. After losing Ella, I became gentle and more likely to be merciless."

"So you asked El Capa to take her away first, are you afraid I will force me to stay?" Karabis said, and then the Queen Qiang stepped forward and kissed him. "Please forgive me, Karabis, now I can only say that, Marca is dead, I have no reason to stay here again."

"Then I will conquer your kingdom in one day, take my daughter back, and build the Temple of Diana in every corner of Rome!"

"Yes, Karabis, Neko will always be your daughter. After you die, she will worship you. Of course, you have to make sure to pray for her peace and health before God. I will also pray for your health before the goddess - again." After that, the queen stepped onto the mount, looked back at Karabis, took off her silver armor to cover the tears that were already there, stirred up a burst of smoke and dust, and rushed towards Simmerian.

When Karabis could no longer bear it, stood there, lowered his head and let the tears drip into the land below, Adiana, who had been hiding under the city gate, walked out, hugged him from behind, and then plucked up the courage and said, "Binary-eared pottery jar, I don't want to marry the king of any kingdom. I don't want to end up with the same fate as my mother. I don't want to, help me!"
