"These Celtics can only brag." - Alexander the Great

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

But before the letter was returned, Li Bida added one, and I agreed to return the Fifth Legion of the province to you, so that you will have four legions at hand in the coming year, enough to be prepared for Parthia, and even no need to be prepared for - because Surena will die in my hands immediately, and the consul's revenge will be avenged by me.

Correspondingly, Surena, who was stationed outside the city of Seleulia, heard that after Herod entered the city, he never dared to mention the situation of the war, nor was he willing to lead his army into the city, because Surena felt that his current status and situation were very subtle. He defeated Crassu and cut off his head, but he was defeated by Li Bida, a deputy general of the Romans at Kale City. The diplomatic envoy who had been arrogant and rude before lost most of his supplies. How should he evaluate his merits and demerits be evaluated even if he could not define it. You must know that Parthia has seven great tribes, and his current status undoubtedly aroused the jealousy of the rest of the people. With just a small handle, his victory and glory can be wiped out.

Therefore, Assaces Hellod's attitude suddenly became very important, but Surena was still very "safe" to Hellod. He wore the crown of the other party by himself, which also represented the contract between the monarch and his subjects. So Surena mobilized all the educated staff around him to write multiple suggestions to the monarch of Seleulia. The central meaning was about three:

I hope to recognize my achievements in defeating Crassu in the form of a national celebration;

After wintering, I will volunteer to attack the Romans' Syrian province. I hope Assassis will continue to let me take charge of military power without any doubt;

Furthermore, before the celebration, Assassis should punish the responsibility of Selheth, who neglected his duties in the previous war, resulting in the defeat of the war, killing or exile himself, and deposing his official title and status of the honorary clan.

About half a market later, the king's messenger came to the camp on a horse and brought back the opinions of Herod. "Selheth has been imprisoned by me, and only needs to wait for the resolution of the elders in the city of Seleulia (the same as the elders' meeting) to receive the crime. Because the city of Cale still has strong Roman military power, you can take your entourage when attending the celebration. The army can be handed over to the adjutant to continue confronting the enemy, and do not relax. After entering the palace, I immediately appointed you as the assistant to my son Pacruz, and in the next year, the national military power will be delivered to you to go to Syria, but don't forget to bring Crassu's head. That is the most important part of the celebration."

Surena was so happy when he received such a affectionate and kind document from the king. He took it out many times and shared it with his concubines. Now he was left with less than seventy beauties, and the rest were all captured. However, those women had no intention of mourning the same kind. After losing most of their competitors, they were more charming and wanted to win more favors and favors from their masters.

After careful preparation, Surena left the camp a few days later and began to head towards the city of Seleulia with a huge and luxurious guard of entourage. "General Surena captured the Roman consul alive and wanted to offer victory in front of the king's palace!" Such exciting news was spread by specially hired messengers throughout Mesopotamia a few days before his departure to increase his popularity. He also fabricated a vivid story, taught the Greek guide Edlomax, and taught him how Crassus had captured the clever general's plan, fell into a swamp and could not extricate himself, and finally captured in a mess, and told everyone that it was so disgusting.

As for the veteran Pascianus, who was pulled to pretend to be Crasso, he rode on a high-headed horse and walked at the forefront of the team. He was now a one-eyed dragon. He was led in front of him. The Roman veteran learned a lot of Greek words and was forced to wear Persian women's clothes, holding Militu's pornographic books, and read the most dirty and vulgar jokes in public, which caused laughter from soldiers and the people. When people laughed at him, "Are you the consul of Rome? We don't want to," Pascianus would respond with a tense face and said, "Yes, I am, the ungrateful people, all the soldiers respectfully call me the 'great General Triumph'!" Then everyone laughed even more crazily.

When they saw the entourage behind the "Roman Consul", they were even more happy. Except for Rossius, who were captured together, the others were beggars, gangsters and Seleurian prostitutes. They laughed and hung money bags on the entourage, and some hung the heads of the Roman centurion's dead on the fascist axe, singing various yellow tunes to mock the Romans.

Behind the team was Surena's convoy, filled with purses and women. These people kept throwing coins at the onlookers, or the brave slave could climb into the car, and enjoy the women who could do as much as possible, drinking wine until they were drunk, and after being squeezed into "human fucking", they were quietly thrown on the side of the road in the early morning of the next day.

When this huge and absurd and triumphal team passed by the ruins of Babylon, Surena saw a madman running past the front of the team, shouting, "Proud General, you hang your belt with a trophy on your chest, and you are nothing like an ordinary person." But in the noise and carnival, no one cares what a madman means, including Surena.

Finally, in the city of Seleulia, there were celebration events, taverns, arenas and theaters, and Surena was like a Roman war hero, holding the petals all over the sky, from the main street to the front of the palace gate, all the lower nobles were listed on both sides of the street to welcome him, only his groom, Pomax Seris, disgusted by the scene. He sniffed his nose and warned his master that there seemed to be a scum of conspiracy in the corner of the palace.

"Your nose is blinder than your eyes, idiot." Surena scolded, and then asked him to put Crasus' head in an exquisite box and send it to the palace and present it to His Highness Assass.

So, Pomax Seris, holding his head, and Surena, wearing gorgeous clothes, was behind. The group walked through the long palace walls. When several eunuchs saw them, they hurriedly pushed the gate of the palace theater, because His Highness Assassin was watching the Greek tragedy with the elders, which was common to the upper nobles of Parthians.

When the door was pushed open, the high singing and beautiful melody immediately entered Surena's ears. When all the veterans saw him coming up from the passage on the side of the stage, they burst into thunderous cheers and applause. The smiling Hellod stood in the half-open box at the highest point and opened his arms to him.
