Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 248 Mithridates

His good life has just begun, and he doesn't want to die here.

The other Thracians looked at Spartacus, should they be him?

Spartacus shook his head. With so many of them coming out, if the others were unharmed and only Aetius died, those Romans would not be suspicious.

"But we have to bring a few high-ranking people back so that we can get the information the higher-ups want."

said Aetius.

"no problem."

Spartacus fully agrees with this.

The wounded Thracian cavalry looked at Spartacus gratefully. If it wasn't for him, they would all have died at the hands of Aetius.

Therefore, he answered all his questions, and finally they took three cavalry prisoners.

"I won't report what happened today, but you'd better not do it in the future. If you violate military orders in the army, you will die."

Aetius whispered with a serious face.

"Thank you."

Spartacus said casually.

Aetius shook his head. He didn't know if Spartacus had listened. With his temperament, it's no wonder he won't suffer in the future.

It also happened that he was willing to suffer this kind of uselessness, and other people would definitely report this matter quietly.

***

The city of Nicaea was undergoing a fierce siege battle, with a steady stream of siege vehicles, ladders and towers leaning against the city wall, but they were destroyed by the defenders of Nicaea.

A gray-haired old man in a purple robe is leading a group of generals to watch all this from a distance. Although he is very old, he looks very energetic, but his face is extremely gloomy.

He is the Pontus King Mithradati VI who lived his life as a soldier. Now he is over 60 years old, which is definitely considered a long life in ancient times.

Although he was very old, he was still unwilling to be lonely, and led the army to conquer Asia again. What happened in front of him made him very dissatisfied.

He said to a Sizxini beside him: "Didn't you say that the Asians hated the Romans so much, as soon as my army arrived, they would all surrender? Why did it become like this now?"

The cold sweat on that Xizxini man's head, he never expected to become like this.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, the Asians really hated the Romans very much.

"Because the Roman army has come, they hate the Romans, but they are even more afraid of the Romans. When Sulla was in Asia, he did not slaughter many cities."

At this time a general said.

If there were pirates who attacked Dragon City back then, they would have recognized that this was not their leader, Lesix, who had suddenly turned into a general of Bendu.

"More importantly, Li Wei has ordered the governor of Asia to sign an order to restrict usury, which gives those Asians a little breathing space, and they are all very grateful to Li Wei and Lebiris."

Lysix said.

"What a bunch of bastards. If you give them some benefits, you forget how the Romans slaughtered them."

Mithrada said with a look of contempt.

But he quickly discovered the problem in Lesix's words, "Alexander, don't they think I'm not Levi's opponent? So they would rather resist me than submit to me."

Lysix, no, it should be Alexander who smiled wryly, why should he say something so clearly?

He was originally a favorite general of Mithridates, and was sent by Mithridates to Rome to contact Sertorius and those nobles to wreak havoc on Rome, and he was fortunate enough to live up to his fate.

As for attacking Dragon City, that was his private decision, and he was still very interested in Li Wei's sword-making skills.

"The people in the world are ignorant, how can they understand His Majesty's wisdom."

Alexander said.

"Don't come here. If I was really wise, I wouldn't be defeated by Sura. I'm not that kind of fatuous king."

Mithrada said with a big wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Alexander said sincerely.

In fact, if there were no Romans, Mithridates VI would be worthy of being wise.

He not only captured Galacia and Bissinia, but also conquered Asia, greatly expanding the territory of Pontus.

He also defeated Cota, the governor of Asia in history, and he defeated even the general Murena under Sulla when he attacked Bendu.

After being defeated by Sulla, he immediately ordered reforms.

In the past, the Bendu army was covered with gold and precious stones when they went out to war. There were gold-passing cabins and luxurious bathrooms in the fleet. It looked like a local tyrant.

But now these are all gone. He distributed the Romans' daggers and shields to the soldiers, and let the soldiers learn the Romans' tactics. There was no gold and gems in the army, and the whole army took on a new look.

It is precisely because of this that Alexander admired Mithridates VI from the bottom of his heart.

"You are the one who knows Levi the best among us. Tell me, who do you think has a better winning rate, me or Levi."

asked Mithridates VI.

Hearing this, Alexander was embarrassed for a while, this question is difficult to answer.

"This time Li Wei led twelve legions, plus one legion in Asia, whose strength far surpassed that of Sulla at the beginning. Moreover, with the full support of Rome, the Thracians and other tribes were recruited, which is really not to be underestimated watch for."

Alexander said very tactfully.

"Bold, Alexander, are you saying that His Majesty is not Li Wei's opponent?"

At this time, the eunuch Dionysus said angrily that he was loyal to Mithridates VI, how could he tolerate Alexander's disrespectful words.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I mean the enemy is very powerful. I'm afraid this time it will be a tough battle."

Alexander said quickly.

"It's okay, I still have this measurement."

Mithridates VI said, "However, we have also trained according to the training methods of the Romans, and our strength may not be worse than them. Isn't Murena's army defeated by us? So don't be too angry. Fear the Romans."

Hearing this, the corners of Alexander's mouth twitched slightly.

How many people does Mulena have, which can be compared with Li Wei's thirteen legions.

Moreover, your training method only sees the shape, but not the spirit, which is completely incomparable with the regular Roman army.

If there is a real war, they may become a drag on us.

"If you ask me, those training methods are useless at all. Fighting is still about daring to work hard. As long as you dare to work hard, no matter how many people there are, we will not be our opponents."

At this time, a barbarian chief said.

Everyone glanced at him, and now it was Otakus, a chief of the Dandaria people.

This expedition to Mithrada recruited a large number of barbarians, the number of these barbarians was at least 80,000, and it was because of this that he was able to recruit an infantry of more than 140,000 infantry and 16,000 cavalry.

Coupled with a large number of civilian husbands, it is claimed to be 300,000.

"We can't underestimate the Romans, their training methods are still very effective."

Mithrada said kindly.
