Chapter 22 Activities (Part 2)
No one was willing to let Akbarus die so easily. They wanted to torture him to death to avenge the robbers of death. This behavior was recognized by the officers. They took back all the money and goods plundered by the Arabs and captured many camels. Then the Roman soldiers did not hesitate to the gold and silver, but asked the Arabs to kneel on the sand, tear off their headscarves, shaved their hair and beards that they regarded as sacred, and then forced them to swallow them, watching them rolling naked in the desert, wailing slowly, and slowly dying.
As for Akbarus' death, it was even more miserable. The Romans stripped naked the robe and underwear of the greedy chief, tied his fat body on a donkey, and circled the entire battlefield. Then the soldiers surrounded him, burned with torches, beat him with canes, and some people cut silver coins in half with iron scissors and cut his flesh and blood. Akbarus's wailing sound was almost earth-shaking, and then Bagules suggested that he give this guy some homeland.
After tasting the special "fresh things", several soldiers understood it and sharpened a piece of wood and inserted the lower half into the sand. Then the soldiers even had leisure time and made a simple pulley lifting equipment to tie up the half-dead Akbarus and hang it up. They hung it on the upper end of the wooden stake tip. Two or three soldiers carefully supported him, flew away his fat legs, and then aimed at the stake tip, and slowly put it down...
Anyway, Faisal, who was standing on the hillside and looking at the execution, clearly saw that Akbarus, who had been beaten and broken to death, suddenly shook wildly on the wooden stake again. The debris and oil on his skin shook down one after another. It must have been an indescribable pain, but the onlookers cursed. Someone came forward to support him, hoping that he could slowly insert it on the wooden stake safely and steadily, and then slide down the wooden stake until all the internal organs were pierced and torn to death.
However, because the skin of the wooden stake is extremely rough, I think this chief has to last for almost a day before he can truly die.
"Greed will surely bring about the disaster." Faisal sighed and prayed to the gods for the victim. From a distance, his about to die was inserted into a wooden stick like a huge toad.
All the soldiers shouted loudly, and they also said that there was a Greek spy guide who had not been executed. Before the matter was over, Sabo carefully calmed their enthusiasm and handed over the seized materials to the soldiers' committee, all of which were distributed to the soldiers, including the defeated soldiers. He knew Li Bida's intention: to try to attract people to expand the army as much as possible while Crassus was defeated. Anyway, these things were all left by other legions, and it was okay to be generous to others.
"Where is the one who is going to pursue Surena's defender? He should be heading towards Kale City." Polo asked.
Sabo shook his head, "Go to Ikney first, try your luck and see if he can get the first team of the First Legion and the take-out eagle mark." Polo tilted his head. Looking at Sabo with a gambler's expression on his face, he felt that this guy was becoming more and more like a small Li Bida.
But when they came to the city of Ikney, their suggestions were rejected by the chief centurion of the other side. They believed that they were the elite among the elites of the Syrian province and would not be willing to be under the command of the generals of the partial commander. Even if Crassu died, "we will return to Jukoma Dong Camp and accept the restraint of the financial officer Kasio." It seemed that they would no longer have any common language with these gangs of elm-mouthed groups. Sabo led his existing team and once again guided by Faisal and returned along the mountain pass.
At this moment, General Selheth, who was left to restrain Libida, unexpectedly sent an envoy to ask for a secret meeting with Libida, "Helenputina. Why are you leaving?" Libida, who was playing with his daughter in the camp, said to Helenputina who turned around and was about to leave. Then he told the envoy that this was his family and there was no need to hide anything.
"Surena is now extremely arrogant, and his back team's supplies are almost defenseless." This secret envoy was really amazing.
After hearing this, Li Bida was stunned for a moment. He quickly winked at Alp. The other party immediately went out and took the guard to surround the camp closely. Then he said to the messenger, "It was Assasses of Parthia who asked you to come, right?"
The messenger had no intention of denying it, "Since your governor, Crasus, is dead, but a considerable amount of military power is still in your hands, if Surena takes down Kale again, Assassis will not be able to reward him unless the throne is given out." Then, the secret messenger added, "After capturing Crasus' camp, Surena seized no less than three thousand Talent's wealth, and he did not turn half of this wealth into the treasury. It is estimated that after returning to Seleuria in the future, he will use all of it for private people."
"So your Assassis needs to use my sword to weaken Surena." Li Bida asked with a smile by putting his daughter in his arms.
"Yes, all three thousand Tarants belong to you."
"Why don't it belongs to me? This is mine, I am the successor to the Crasus army."
"But I heard that there is another financial officer in Syria named Langinus. Kasio is still alive, and now in Antioch, he is the actual controller of this province." The envoy was not anxious and said calmly.
"Do you think this will threaten me?" Li Bida burst out laughing, but scared Xiao Niko. She obviously felt a cold feeling in her father's hand. "Then go back and tell your Assassin that Li Bida decided to return to Chinodosha immediately, let Surena capture Kale and return to Seleuria triumphantly. After he showed his stolen attention, he would still send troops to Antioch. I will wait for him and Kassi to suffer both losses and send troops to intercept him, or--" As he said, Li Bida pointed his slender finger straight at the secret envoy and said, "Or, I will attack Taisifon again. Anyway, I have the king's brother Mindaz on hand, so there is no shortage of calls for troops to send."
