Looking in the dim starlight, Pompey took a deep breath.
At the entrance of the valley that decided the life and death of all their men, there were actually two rows of enemy soldiers wearing silver armor standing in a row.
There seemed to be two people lying on the ground behind the enemy soldiers.
After adjusting his mood a little, Pompey quickly made a judgment.
The enemy troops blocking the road ahead were not numerous, only about a hundred men, and the surrounding rabble did not rush to support them.
Since I still have a thousand people on hand.
If we charge forward with all our might, even if we can't wipe them out completely, we should be able to create a gap.
If we hesitate and wait until the enemies surrounding the king's tent in the south catch up, we will be unable to escape even if we have wings!
"There are only about a hundred of them. Charge! Fight your way out!" With this in mind, Pompey issued the order.
Although morale was very low, the soldiers of the Roman Republican Guard certainly did not dare to slack off in order to survive.
After receiving Pompey's order, they plucked up their courage, raised their daggers high, and rushed towards the hundred or so Murmidon warriors!
There were constant clanging and crackling sounds as the two strongest armies engaged in a fight.
On the one hand, it is to survive, and on the other hand, it is to protect the king and the mission entrusted by the king.
Both sides refused to retreat and soon became bloodthirsty.
Relying on giant spears and strong shields, the combat effectiveness of the Murmidon warriors is obviously stronger.
But the soldiers of the Roman Republican Guard are not weak either.
They refused to leave the front line even with minor injuries, and fought for their lives to open a way of survival.
With continuous attacks, relying on the advantage in numbers, they exchanged seven or eight for one, taking away the Murmidon warriors one by one.
After fighting for only a dozen minutes, half of the Murmidong warriors were seriously injured and fell down.
This short valley entrance was clearly not large enough to accommodate a full row of people.
If there are vacancies on both wings that cannot be filled, the defense's line will be completely shaken!
Lillian, who had already bandaged Xia Zhe's wound, looked anxiously at the battle ahead and could only pray silently in her heart.
No matter who you are, please come and provide reinforcements!
Otherwise, if the enemy escapes, it will be a small matter. If the king is harmed, everything will be over!
It seemed as if in response to Lillian's prayers.
Whoosh…
A sharp arrow shot out from the woods in the north, passed over Lillian and the Murmidon warriors in the front row, and accurately pierced the throat of a Roman soldier.
The soldier didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground and died.
Before Lillian could come to her senses, a large number of arrows shot out from the forest and flew towards the Roman soldiers who were fighting with the Murmidon warriors.
The morale of the Murmidon warriors, who were almost unable to hold on, was greatly boosted.
On the contrary, hundreds of Roman soldiers on the opposite side were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, and they suddenly became panicked.
"Come and see the king! He's injured and fainted!"
There was no doubt that the person who came was one of their own, and Lillian hurriedly asked for help.
Upon hearing this, several figures shot out from the forest.
The first person, with a graceful figure and as fast as lightning, came to Lillian in a few jumps, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.
"Princess Yina! You are Princess Yina! I knew you would come! If you come, the king will be saved!"
When she saw who it was, Lillian burst into tears of joy.
"Don't cry, Lillian! I brought Seranda's best doctor! All of you Romans will die!"
Of course it was Ina who came.
Ina said the last sentence to the Roman Republican Guard soldiers, deliberately raising her voice.
Then she waved her hand.
A large number of archers emerged from the jungle in the north, numbering more than ten thousand.
They rushed forward quickly, continuously shooting arrows of revenge at the Roman soldiers who were attacking the valley entrance.
In the rain of arrows, hundreds of Roman soldiers fell in an instant.
The offensive launched by Pompey was completely suppressed.
Seeing that things were not going well, Pompey had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat to the forest to the south, and then escape in other directions under the cover of darkness.
Yina refused to give in and ordered her subordinates to chase after the enemy and keep close to them.
After everything was arranged, she returned to where Xia Zhe fainted.
Xia Zhe, who was lying on the ground, had been carried onto a stretcher by Ajax and others.
Ajax, who hadn't seen Lillian for a long time, was comforting her.
"The king's head was bandaged in time, and the blood loss was not too much! Don't worry, if the medicine is used properly, the king will recover soon!" said Ajax.
After checking Xia Zhe's injuries and confirming that his bones and internal organs were not damaged, Yina breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a noise coming from the south, and Achilles and his men had caught up.
When the two friendly armies met, there was bound to be excitement.
Everyone carried the unconscious Xia Zhe back to the king's tent, talking about the great victory and the king's bravery along the way.
Xia Zhe woke up again and found himself lying on the bed in his bedroom which he had not seen for a long time.
The bedroom is decorated with various small ornaments everywhere, and the bedding also emits a faint fragrance.
The early morning sunlight shone through the window onto Xia Zhe, making him feel very warm and much more comfortable than in the military tent.
"Where is this? Why do I have such a big bump on my head?"
Seeing Lillian lying on the table in the room thinking about something, Xia Zhe asked.
"My king, you're awake! That's great! The doctor in Hebrew said you fainted because of excessive blood loss from your head and excessive anxiety. You'll be fine after a few days of rest!"
Hearing Xia Zhe's words, Lillian answered happily.
"Hybrean? Has our army arrived at the city of Hybrean?" Xia Zhe asked again.
"Of course! My king is sleeping in Queen Hybrian's bed now!" Lillian said with a smile.
The Queen's bed?
Xia Zhe was stunned when he heard this.
Oh, this is super high-standard treatment!
I've formed alliances with so many nations and tribes, but this is the first time I'm sleeping in their king's bed!
"Now that you're awake, I'll go call Her Majesty the Queen! You two haven't seen each other for a long time, and you must have a lot to talk about!" Lillian continued.
As she spoke, she stood up, ran out of the room and disappeared.
Long time no see?
What? Long time no see?
Have I seen this queen before?
Xia Zhe didn't understand what Lillian said at all.
He had no choice but to stretch and get out of bed to stretch his arms and legs.
Then sit down and wait for Lillian to come back.
Soon, hurried footsteps were heard.
Lillian brought a woman into the bedroom.
The woman looked to be about the same age as him and was extremely beautiful.
Her skin was slightly bronzed and her muscles were tight, without any of the sickly look of someone who had been kept in seclusion and never seen the light of day.
A heroic air naturally emanates from her face, making her stand out from the crowd!
Whenever a beautiful woman appears, or comes to see him alone, Xia Zhe is always overjoyed.
However, when he saw this person, he felt his heart tighten, and his head, which seemed to have healed, began to hurt again.
Ina!
Xia Zhe could recognize this savage woman even if she turned into ashes!
Could it be that she is the new queen of Hebrew?
If the queen is her, I would never lead the team here to seek trouble even if you kill me!
