Chapter 27 Hashidi Rebellion (Part 2)

PS: Thank you for your reward from Dafeng Baozi!

When the king was in the imperial court, the Chief Helton was very sincere this time. Not only did he deliver a large number of dairy sheep, but he also gave a considerable number of animal skins and date wine. He also told Libidaus about the itinerary below. If you go deeper inland, you will meet the cave-dwelling people of the Esios, which is a backward and cowardly nation. After crossing about five thousand Stadea, you will quickly turn to the north because you want to avoid the warlike third nation, the Galamantes. This nation is extremely good at driving light four-wheeled chariots, and has a large number of date groves and salt mountains. They usually enjoy killing the Esios. This martial nation is you.

The Romans should also be careful to avoid it. They can enter the Toston Valley when they reach the north. This is the dividing line of Libya. The valley is surrounded by large areas of forests and arable land, and there are quite fertile land for vineyards and olive gardens to plant. In this valley, Libya is a land of gravel. This best land is occupied by the Marksyers, the fourth Libyan nation. They claim to be descendants of the Trojans, believe in Athena of Greece, and the sea god Poseidon. They insist that Athena is actually the daughter of the goddess of Poseidon and the goddess of Lake Toriton. Later, after falling out with her father, they ran to Zeus as an adopted daughter.

In fact, the Marksy Essen are the main body of settled residents who own land and houses in Libya. Whether it was the former Carthage or the later Greeks, they all rely on these people for their rule and taxation basis. They are the true "Cyrene nationals".

"We need to record the reminder of the chief in detail, which is the main basis for planning the marching route." After three days of rest in Wang Ting, many soldiers in Li Bida's army would take some gadgets at night, such as colorful thick glass, rhino horns, Egyptian papyrus paintings, etc., sneak into the house with sticks and take a break from their busy schedules.

Then, they continued to walk along the desert and oasis. Not far from the western border of the country of Samones, the entire expeditionary force suddenly saw a place covered with the skeletons of people and animals. It was densely packed with tens of thousands of people. It was really scary to look from a distance. Sabo licked his cracked lips on his horse, and then took out a few books from the bed under the saddle, searched for it, and then asked the commander-in-chief and everyone.

Zo explained. "It seems that the Great Chief of Helton also mentioned it, called the 'Proi Cemetery', because this kingdom was originally from the Proi people, but many years ago, the desert to the south suddenly blew endless winds, blowing all the rivers in the country. The Proi people decided to go south to fight the south wind, and as a result, they were attacked by storms here, and the entire tribe was exterminated here, and then the Samones occupied the kingdom."

Fighting against the south wind. Of course, the imagination in this myth is not true. In fact, it is because of the deterioration of climate change. The water source of the Proi people was lost inadvertently. They migrated to the south in order to find a way to live. However, they did not expect that the south was even more boundless desert, which led to the genocide tragedy in front of them. Looking at the vast white and gray skeletons, Li Bida called the priests who followed the army to move out the statues and objects, and let the soldiers of all races kneel down and worship their gods.

In front of us, the Romans bowed to Mars, the Greeks bowed to Apollo, Zeus or Athena, the Egyptian bowed to Amon, Serapis, and the Nubian bowed to Amon. Under the light of heaven and earth, the fireworks ignited by the people of various gods before the sacrifices filled the sky, and prayers in various languages ​​rose and fell one after another, but the meaning was the same, to comfort the undead here, hoping to get the blessing of God, successfully cross this sea of ​​death, and safely enter the valley of the Toston River.

As a result, after walking in the desert for ten days, the scout cavalry in front of them cried loudly. They thought they could never see the end of the yellow gravel again, but they finally saw the mountains, and the scattered small spherical plants on it, and they actually found traces of the cultivated land. "The Serapis Legion is on both wings, taking the mountain road as a warning, the Thirteenth Legion and the auxiliary brigade guards are walking in the middle valley, and I personally led the affiliated cavalry brigade to search and advance in front!" Li Bida's cloak, with a blue feathered crown, rode a horse with the Vibichinas, rushed into the broken mountain range with bats and crows flying everywhere, and then the sharp-eyed soldiers could see it. There were shadows on the hillside, as if there were many people hidden in the cave.

"It should be the Essians. Go through this valley as soon as possible and camp in the wilderness outside!" As a result, halfway through the way, the black soldiers of the Serapis Legion on the two-wing mountain road fought with the Essians. These Essians suddenly emerged from the cave. As Helton said, these people were an extremely backward nation. They had no armor, but they had ostrich gray feathers on their heads, half naked, barefoot, holding shields covered with ostrich skins, and using simple rod-casting tools to smash stones at the Serapis Legion. Several soldiers in the front row were bleeding and were dragged to the back. Then the unceremonious Medegis raised their hands.

The skinned light shield inside was painted with various monster totems, colliding with each other, and a loud noise of horror. Then the black soldiers quickly divided into small groups and went forward, throwing spears stuck in the shield trough at the "Ostrich Warriors" or shooting arrow feathers in their hands. As a result, many Essio people screamed and rolled into the mountain stream. The rest were worthy of being cavemen, and mysteriously drilled into the well-connected acupoints and disappeared. Some bold Medeje people rushed into the acupoints and found that the skinless and blood-dripping corpses of snakes and lizards were hung inside. It seemed that these cavemen usually eat these animals alive, and they believed that this could enhance their ability to run and hide.

"Try to avoid chasing, maintain the formation of the marching, and fight back when the enemy shows up." Li Bida called several scouts to scatter and warned his soldiers to remain restrained and calm. After all, he was an uninvited guest. It was reasonable for the timid Essians to attack their side. At dusk, the three auxiliary brigades behind the Romans' last temple were basically safely out of the valley. At this time, the army soldiers in front of them had marked the camp and had reached half of the progress of establishing the camp. To be honest, the blacks rejected the rigorous and rigid style of the Roman army. Not only were the blacks there, but the atmosphere was scattered. They could fight the enemy happily under the scorching sun, but they were extremely disgusted with the camp meticulously building the camp without a great threat.

Therefore, Tagus and others made extremely arduous efforts to reverse this situation.
