Chapter 14 Lentils (Part 1)
"The great and sacred Augustus, here to pay tribute to you." - The words of the sword slave before the Colosseum of the Roman Empire show

The other party shook his fiery red hair twice, widened his eyes, stood in surprise, stared at the temporary governor of Chinodosha, looking up and down, his gazelle-like beautiful eyes were still the same, and then said softly, "You should ask where Niko is next, right? Let me tell you, she is very good now, can already ride a pony and settle around with me, El Capa is also with her, and my daughter is practicing her archery."
This is why her daughter is only in her early 10 years old and has to ride a horse and live a mercenary life with her mother everywhere. How could she be her daughter? Li Bida still couldn't accept it. Corinna is now living in an environment with a hot bathroom and a toy. In the future, she only needs to go to a private school with a maid to study for three years, learn to write letters to her best friend, and be able to write and record her mood on the books, play simple domino games, speak Greek, and be able to dress up beautifully to enter the ladies' banquet.
And my little Niko, is Helen Putina really going to train her into a female warrior and a female king?
But this topic has to be put aside for the time being. Li Bida decided to get close to Helen Putina first, and then walked down the stairs, saying, "How are you living if you haven't seen each other for many years?"
Helenputina was very calmly wearing a saddle on the horse's back and replied that she still lived the same life as before and could not die for the time being. This time she was also the guide for the Mathians to Chinodosha. The commission was four tarantes, because their horses were not very used to walking the mountains and ridges of eastern Armenia.
Before Li Bida could continue to ask, the Amazon Queen said readily, "I thought I would never meet you again, but I still met you. Although I looked down on men when I was young, you also worked hard and worked hard in a different environment from us. Now you are also the governor of the Romans, and I am the guide you hired. There is nothing wrong with this, Karabis."
"Yes, I'm back to this land. I've heard a proverb, that is, there are only three types of people who can walk around Spain and Syria in three years, Roman politicians, Roman soldiers and Roman merchants." Li Bida said with a self-deprecating voice.
"Then which kind of thing do you belong to?"
"I'm all three." The man opposite smiled bitterly again, "Maybe people with these three personalities must do their best to avoid a miserable end. At least I know. There is one in the Jukoma camp in Syria who is advancing towards an unknown fate."
In front of the temple of Banbisi, the clouds in May were low, and it seemed that a thunderstorm was coming soon. The decaying white hair on Crasso was shaking in the wind. His son stood beside him. The richest man in the city of Rome was standing in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and delivered a formal speech before the march. Because the victory of the partial teacher Libidaus in the Battle of Mount Ramiy inspired him, he finally regarded the Parthians and Surena opposite as enemies of the same level as the kingdoms of Anatolia and Cappadocia. So he motivated to the generals, staff and centuries:
"The Roman legion soldiers composed of citizens, the Republic will never abandon any fellow comrades. Then, opposite the ancient river, there are warriors close to a legion, struggling tenaciously under the despicable arrow feathers of the Parthians--so, we must rescue them, and then let the cowardly people in pants know the laws of the Romans, and they are not worthy of having wealthy cities like Seleulia, Babylon, Tessifon, and Nineveh. The barbarians should go back to the mountains to herd sheep and herd cattle, and we will give them to
They reexamine their opportunities and speak with swords and guns. But I must remind all the soldiers that after crossing the river below, the march will be long and somewhat dangerous, but compared with the honors and wealth obtained in triumph, everything is worth it. The first soldier to enter the city of Seleulia, the city of Tessy and the city of Babylon will be promoted to the chief centurion of the legion and enjoy the greatest gift and glory. But if you do not stay in your own combat duty, then I will demolish Juquema's pontoon bridge so that you will never come back!"
Crassus's last words shocked all the generals and the centurion, including his son. Even though the old governor had a joking expression on his face, the joke "let you never come back" was not suitable for speaking in such a situation where the army was trained before the expedition. Ordinary soldiers were especially taboo about this intent. The battlefield was a gap between life and death, and there were countless examples of a prophecy. So the open space in front of the temple started to roar, and the soldiers were talking with horror. They really couldn't believe that the Governor would say excessive words that told them to never go back. In the end, the centurions used their canes and spent a lot of effort to restore the scene to a similar calm.
At this time, several divination officials sent the used cattle internal organs to the hands of the coach Crassus, and then put them on Mars' altar through the other party's hand. As a result, Crassus took them absent-mindedly, and the half-cooked internal organs were still bloody. It slipped and fell on the soil beside the altar. All the soldiers shouted in surprise again. Crassus himself was a little confused. Does this mean that the God of War is not favored by this war? But he quickly calmed down. In the years since the founding of the city-state, what is the process and what role does it have? He is much more aware of than many civilians, so he found a pun to talk and tried to get away with it. "After all, this is not a sword on the battlefield. If it is a sword, I think I will hold it very tightly."
The ceremony ended in embarrassment. When the priests took out the eagle flags placed in the temple one by one and delivered them to the flag-holding officers in front of the columns of the legion, the soldiers lined up and headed towards the other side of the Jukoma crossing the bridge.
On the back of the temple, amid the rolling thunder, two priests with unknown expressions gave their internal organs and intestines to the financial officer Kassi. "Although I know that some inappropriate words will affect the morale and morale of the war, I have to say that the result of this divination is the clearest omen. I will say it clearly. Dear financial officer, you are an indomitable young man, but this battle will be as severe as the destruction."
