Roman Slave Owner

"What kind of bullshit training method, I think you are scared by the Romans."

Ottacus said with a look of disdain.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Losing at the hands of the Romans is an eternal pain in Mithridates heart, and generally no one dares to mention it. This reckless man is simply an idiot.

"Bold, Otarchus, do you know what you're talking about?"

Dionysus said angrily.

"Let's be honest."

Ottacus said disdainfully.

Mithrada's face turned livid, and the others cursed Ottakus one after another.

Although some tribal chiefs cursed, they still agreed in their hearts.

Those training methods have their uses. Isn't it just to slash with a knife in a war?

Alexander had a puzzled look on his face. Although this Ottakus was extremely powerful, he was a man with long sleeves.

I have a very good relationship with all the chiefs, and I also flatter Mithrada in various ways. What happened today? Taking the wrong medicine?

"That's enough, Ottakus. I now declare that you resist my orders, resist training, and deprive you of your military rights. Get out of here!"

Mithrada said furiously.

"you……"

Ortarchus was so angry that he pointed at him speechless.

"Your Majesty, should we give him another chance? Ortakus made an unintentional mistake."

"Yeah, for the sake of Ottakus's heroic fighting, let him be spared once."

"..."

Those tribal chiefs said one after another.

Ottakus is very good at being a man, and has a good relationship with them, and they have a part in boycotting training, so Mithridates can also deprive them of their military power.

What they didn't know was that Mithrada really wanted to take the opportunity to beat them.

"Let's go, let's wait and see."

To their surprise, Ottakus left in a fit of anger, making Mithridates fly into a rage.

This made everyone dumbfounded, what happened to Otakus today, and why he was so angry.

Alexander's face was gloomy. It was not a good sign that this kind of thing happened before the war.

At this moment, a messenger rushed over on horseback.

"Report to Your Majesty, our army has spotted the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry near Lake Ikeniz."

"Really, this is really great, this time I must let the Romans know how powerful it is."

Mithridates said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty is wise and will surely defeat the Romans."

"Well said, the Romans must be defeated in this battle."

Those generals and tribal chiefs said quickly.

Alexander's face was gloomy. I hope His Majesty will be more cautious and not make the mistakes of the past.

The two sides detected each other's existence almost at the same time, and the scouts of both sides were fighting fiercely, while Li Wei ordered people to camp near Lake Iznik.

The camp of nearly 100,000 troops stretched for several miles, occupying the northern shore of Lake Iznik.

In the barracks, Li Wei and the others were discussing the military situation.

"Our cavalry captured a few enemy scouts. According to the information we have received so far, the enemy's cavalry probably numbered more than 10,000, and the infantry probably reached 150,000."

Levi said.

Hearing this, everyone didn't take it seriously.

They have 13 legions plus more than 4,000 cavalry, plus more than 10,000 people from Thracians, Cretan bows and arrows from various allied forces, and more than 10,000 people from Makaro Island. .

However, in the history of Rome, there were many battles fought with less, and this point of the enemy was not in their eyes at all.

"There are many barbarians among the enemies, and those barbarian cavalry are very strong, and our cavalry is at an absolute disadvantage."

Levi said.

"It's nothing. After all, the battle still depends on the infantry to decide the outcome."

Belius said.

Li Wei nodded, infantry is king in Rome has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Before the appearance of stirrups, the combat effectiveness of cavalry was severely restricted.

Unfortunately, due to the long distance, his Numidian cavalry has not yet arrived.

"According to the information we have received, the enemy is likely to be extremely short of food. Mithridates sent a large number of troops to collect food everywhere. But they are attacking Nicaea. Once they capture Nicaea, their food shortage will be relieved to a certain extent. ease."

Levi said.

Everyone nodded. If there were really 300,000 troops, just thinking about the logistics would make one's scalp tingle. The Romans had never organized such a large army.

"The question now is whether we should fight them decisively, or confront them. If we confront them, they may collapse due to lack of food, but it may also lead to the fall of Nicaea."

Levi said.

"Of course they fought. This is our province. We have been letting them attack our city here. And with Bendu's strength, we don't care about it at all."

Dorabella said immediately.

"That's right, hit."

"I think it's also a good game."

"..."

All the generals expressed their opinions one after another, which did not surprise him, as expected, most of them were in the main battle.

It seemed that the generals were so confident that they didn't take the 300,000 troops in Bendu seriously.

"Since everyone supports direct war, let's fight."

Levi said.

He spent a lot of money for this war. All the legions are equipped with steel swords. Even if the opposite is the Roman legion, he will not be afraid, let alone the army of Pontus.

Then everyone discussed how to attack Bendu, and what made them most afraid was Bendu's chariot.

Pontus's chariot has scythes on both sides. Once these chariots are allowed to rush into the formation, it will cause terrible damage.

At this moment, Lucias suddenly broke into the big tent.

Li Wei looked at him in surprise. If there was no major incident, he would not have broken in without permission.

"General, a man named Euricus led thousands of cavalry to join him. He said that he was a tribal chieftain in Dandaria, who was once Mithridates' subordinate. Because he was dissatisfied with him, he Come and join us."

said Lucias.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and there was such a good thing.

"Did he say why?"

Li Wei asked, frowning.

"He said that Mithridates rebuked him in front of everyone and deprived him of his military power. He didn't want to lose his military power, so he brought his men to join him."

said Lucias.

Li Wei's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that in history, someone in the Bendu army pretended to take refuge in Luculus and planned to assassinate him, but failed in the end.

Could this be him?

Li Wei had a playful smile on his face, so he asked Lucias to take him in. Not long after, a tall man with eyes like copper bells, wearing armor and a beard walked in.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Ottakus immediately found Li Wei surrounded by the crowd, so he immediately knelt down on one knee.

"The sinner Ottacus pays his respects to General Levy."
