Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 317 Saturn Temple

"The Roman army is not guarding here. We can sneak attack the Roman army from behind at night."

Spartacus said.

Descending off a cliff at night?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, this idea is really crazy.

"Can this work?"

Onomamus frowned and said.

He looked out with his head, and felt that he could go down with his own strength, but the rope had to be long, but it was not necessarily the case for other slaves.

"Actually, using a rope to go down requires skill. I happened to know some herb pickers before and knew how to use a rope to descend. This is our only way out. We will die if we do this, but at least it is better than dying here."

Spartacus said.

After discussing for a long time, everyone finally agreed.

They have no way out, and this is the only way if they don't want to die.

So they immediately organized a large number of slaves and asked them to weave ropes, and soon ropes leading to the bottom of the cliff were weaved.

Then let those slaves train the skills of rappelling, which is similar to the rock-climbing rappelling of later generations. If they can master it, it can greatly increase the success rate.

In the middle of the night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, becoming the only light source on the top of the mountain. Spartacus and some slaves are sliding down the rope woven from vines.

In order to cover up their actions, these nights, the slaves either howled ghostly or howled, or made various sounds with gongs.

At the beginning, the Roman army was nervous for a long time, but soon they got used to it, and even thought it was the desperate wailing of the slaves, and even they couldn't think of any way for the slaves to escape.

Relying on the bright moonlight, Spartacus slid down a short distance rhythmically.

Occasionally there was the sound of falling gravel, but it was covered by the sound of the top of the mountain and did not arouse the vigilance of the Roman army.

Spartacus finally managed to descend to the bottom of the cliff, and then he quickly left his position to avoid being hit by falling rocks.

One after another slave soldiers descended to the bottom of the cliff along the rope and gathered around Spartacus.

At this moment, a black shadow in the sky smashed down.

Then it hit the ground hard and was smashed into a pulp.

Spartacus glanced at him, his face didn't change much, war always kills people.

Almost all the adult slaves descended, and Spartacus led them around to the rear of the Roman camp, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

The Roman army hardly had many guards in the rear, and their guards were all on the side facing Mount Vesuvius, and they never thought that the rear would be attacked.

After waiting for a long time, I found that a group of Roman soldiers passed by the earthen wall, and the earthen wall behind was built very short, without ditches or spikes, and they climbed up the earthen wall quickly and easily. It was obvious that the Roman army was careless.

This made Spartacus overjoyed, and he knew that tonight would be a success.

He and some gladiators built a human ladder to the earth wall, and then used the ropes he had prepared to pull a large number of gladiators up.

There were more and more soldiers on the dirt wall, and Spartacus quietly approached the gate of the barracks with all the gladiators.

Some soldiers were chatting in low voices, making all kinds of laughter from time to time, but they didn't notice the arrival of the god of death.

Spartacus gestured to Kress and the others, and then walked towards them with 10 gladiators with normal expressions.

They wear Roman standard armor, just like real Roman soldiers.

They have a lot of this kind of armor, all of which were seized from defeating Senas last time.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, a soldier spotted them and asked.

"We came to change shifts, some couldn't sleep, so we came early."

Curius said.

Both he and Spartacus had stayed in the Roman barracks and knew the regularity of the Roman army's shifts.

"Yeah, that's great, we can finally go to sleep."

A ten captain said, "By the way, what's the password?"

"The password is..."

At this time, Spartacus and the others had come to them, "Go to hell."

After speaking, he drew out his dagger and stabbed them fiercely. The sharp dagger quickly pierced their bodies.

Looking at the dagger on his chest, a soldier looked terrified.

"you……"

But by this time it was too late, Curius covered his mouth, and only let go when he found that he was no longer struggling.

"Quick, open the city gate."

Spartacus said.

Curius and the others rushed towards the winch in a hurry, and amidst the crackling sound, the camp gate slowly opened.

The slaves outside the camp rushed in immediately, and under the leadership of Spartacus, they immediately killed the Roman army camp.

Some soldiers just opened their eyes when they heard the footsteps, and found a cold light flashed in front of their eyes, and then their heads were separated.

"What happened?"

Hearing the voice from outside, Grebo said dissatisfiedly.

But he soon realized that something was wrong. The sound was too loud, accompanied by cries for help. Could it be that the enemy was calling.

Grebo rushed out of the camp to have a look, and found that there was a lot of fighting outside, and even many tents were on fire.

"How is this going?"

Graber said with a look of shock.

"It's not good, Judge, those gladiators are here."

A disheveled centurion ran over and said that he had no armor in time and only had a short sword.

"It's impossible. How could they rush in? I personally inspect the city defense every night, and it is absolutely impossible for them to fall."

Graber said with a look of disbelief.

"No...they came in from behind."

said the centurion.

"What are you talking about? Behind? This is impossible! How could they appear behind us."

Graber couldn't believe it even more.

"This... I don't know either."

The centurion was also very confused. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to appear behind.

At this time, Spartacus had brought the gladiators to kill them.

"Stop them!"

Grab said angrily.

But at this time, those Roman soldiers were like headless flies, not even wearing armor, only knowing to run away desperately.

The centurion also called for help, but no one listened to him at all.

Spartacus was getting closer and closer to the large tent of the Chinese army, and he even looked at Grebo in his pajamas.

"It's over! It's over!"

Graber immediately knew that the situation was over, and fled in a hurry.

An hour later, earth-shattering cheers erupted from the Roman camp.

"We won!"

"Long live Spartacus!"

"..."

Even Spartacus couldn't restrain his excitement. They defeated the Roman army again?

It's almost like dreaming.

In this battle, Spartacus defeated the 3,000 Roman army led by Justice Graber.

Capua shakes, Rome shakes.

In the city of Rome, the Senate held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.

After the meeting, Serabio came to Levi's house again.

It was as if he had come to his own home, and after seeing Li Wei drinking, he sat down and poured himself a glass of wine very familiarly.

"This is simply unbelievable!! Half a legion of the Roman army was defeated by a group of slaves!"

Serapio said with a look of shock that he still couldn't calm down his emotions, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

"Grebo was careless. No one thought that Spartacus and the others would use grape vines to descend from the cliff, and ended up losing the battle."

Levi said.

Graber had returned to Rome, and word had spread of Spartacus' victory.

Although the process was legendary, it still couldn't appease people's contempt for Graber. From the consuls, elders, and common people in the city of Rome, everyone despised Graber.

It’s okay if you lose to the regular army, but you lost to a group of slaves?

This is simply unreasonable.

"Opin wine?"

Serapio looked at the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Yes."

Li Wei said that this is a famous local wine in Rome, and it tastes very good.

The price is expensive, not worse than the famous Greek wine.

"What was said at today's meeting?"

"The Senate decided to select one of the two consuls to encircle and suppress Spartacus."

Serabio said.

"Yeah?"

Li Wei couldn't help frowning.

One of the most important tasks of the consul is to lead the troops to fight. It is normal for the consul to fight after the judge fails.

"Luculus said that he intends to lead troops to encircle and suppress Spartacus."

Serapio said with a sad face.

When it comes to battlefield qualifications, Lucullus doesn't know how many streets he has left.

It is not easy to persuade Crassus and Menmuse to support him, and their relationship has been quite bad recently.

"No! He must not be allowed to lead troops into battle!"

Levi said.

If Lucullus is out, what's the matter with him?

Did he need to go to great lengths to send Spartacus to Quintus' home?

Serabio was overjoyed, "Master, are you planning to support me?"

Li Wei gave him a strange look, "Forget it, Spartacus is not simple, don't underestimate him."

"Isn't he just a slave? What's so great about him."

Serapio said unconvinced.

"He defeated Senas and Graber. If you treat him as an ordinary slave, you will have a dead end."

Levi said.

"Patriarch, just support me. You didn't let me go on an expedition against pirates, and I agreed. Now you don't let me go to attack the slave rebels. It's really unreasonable."

Serapio said dissatisfied.

"Hehe, your wings are stiff, you won't listen to me anymore."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"How could it be? Sending troops is the meaning of the Senate. It's either me or Luculus. You can only choose one of the two."

Serapio said hastily.

Li Wei frowned even deeper, it was impossible to change the resolution of the Senate.

In any case, Lukulus must not be allowed to play, and the lesser harm is the lesser of the two, that is to say, only Serabio can be used.

"Do you really want to go?"

Levi said.

"Yes."

Serapio nodded very positively.

"It's not impossible for you to go, but you can't take our people there, no one is allowed."

Levi said.

"Why?"

"Because I don't think you can win."

Levi said.

"How is this possible? Spartacus is definitely not my opponent! I will be very careful!"

Serabio said.

"How about we make a bet, if you lose..."

"I will never lead troops in battle in the future."

"Well, remember what you said today. In addition, if you are accidentally captured by Spartacus, tell him, I am willing to trade Sarah for your life."

Levi said.

Serapio couldn't help rolling his eyes, why do you underestimate me so much?

"But Lucullus is more likely than me. Both the Senate and Metellus support him."

Serabio said.

"Don't worry about this. During the Eastern Expedition, he exchanged a promise for my support for him to fight for the consul. Go and tell him that as long as he doesn't go to encircle and suppress Spartacus, it will be considered that he has fulfilled this promise. "

Levi said.

Serapio said with a look of surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, I'm not going to leave anything to chance."

Li Wei smiled and said, "In addition, you can also spread the word that I am willing to personally go out to encircle and suppress Spartacus."

"This is absolutely impossible. The Senate will never agree. And you, a commoner, have no right to lead troops in battle."

Serabio said.

He knew how much the Senate was afraid of Li Wei, and they would never give Li Wei any chance to make meritorious deeds.

As for asking Crassus and Pompey to help, it is even more impossible. He knows how jealous they are of Li Wei, and it is not bad if they don't tear things apart.

"I know, I just want to disgust the Senate."

Li Wei said with a smile.

In case of another defeat in the future, he can completely throw the responsibility to the Senate, and then severely disgust them.

Serabio looked at Li Wei with a strange expression, but he didn't expect Li Wei to have such a bad taste.

At this moment, a slave came in.

"Master, Muse asks to see you."

"Oh, so there is news about Pompey, I didn't expect it to be quite fast, let him come in."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Not long after, Menmuse with a dark face walked in.

"Li Wei, as you wish, Pompey agreed."

"Really, this is really great. I believe Pompeo will definitely value our friendship."

A sincere smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

Menmuse hated it, you bloody scum, villain, stabbing a knife in the back, and wanting to take credit for Pompey, now you still have the nerve to mention the friendship between the two.

"Serabio, I think it's time for us to act. I want Metellus to pay the price."

Levi said.

"No problem, Levi."

Serabio laughed and said that the elders they controlled were finally over half again.

***

Inside the Saturn Temple, a large number of workers are busy.

This is where the treasury of Rome is located, and almost all the legion books are sealed here.

Since Sidigus sued Li Wei and Geta sued the Metellus family, a large number of financial officers and related staff have been stationed here.

They unsealed a large number of account books, and then checked them with an extremely harsh attitude.

Sidious looked at all this with a gloomy face, and now he was in a very bad mood.
