Roman Slave Owner

"Yes, we defeated Kress's army, but Kressin refused to surrender, and was finally besieged by us to death."

said the centurion.

"Where is his body?"

Spartacus asked, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Mount Ggannus."

"Take us there."

On Mount Gegannus, corpses scattered all over the mountain were randomly discarded on the ground, and a group of wild wolves gnawed at their corpses.

After seeing the slave rebel army coming, they looked vigilant, and when they realized that the momentum was wrong, they all slipped away with their tails between their legs.

"asshole!"

Spartacus couldn't help cursing angrily that these corpses were the corpses of the slave rebels.

On a hilltop, several crosses can be seen in the distance.

Spartacus led the crowd to the hill, and the body of Kress was in the middle. In addition, there were several slave leaders who were crucified. They were covered with whip wounds. Some flies buzzed around them, which made Spartacus unable to hold back tears.

At this moment, a corpse on the cross moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"He's not dead yet."

Curius exclaimed.

The corpse looked at Spartacus with surprise in their eyes, and opened their mouths a few times, but no sound came out.

"Hurry up and save him."

Spartacus said.

Everyone hurriedly rushed over to rescue the leader. During the rescue process, a lot of blood flowed from the wound again, almost making him pass out.

"I... can't do it anymore, Spartan... X, give us... revenge."

The leader said slowly.

After finishing speaking, he passed out completely. A doctor stepped forward to examine him, and then shook his head.

"Excessive blood loss, body fever, signs of infection, hopeless."

"asshole!"

Curius couldn't help cursing angrily, even if he and Kress were at odds, there was still a sense of sadness at this time.

"We must avenge them."

Onomamus said.

"Yes, revenge."

"revenge."

"revenge."

Everyone said one after another.

Spartacus carefully removed Kress's body, his eyes were full of hatred.

"You're right, we must avenge them. We'll set up camp and find 600 Roman prisoners."

"What are you looking for with Roman prisoners?"

"The Romans have always made us gladiatorial for their entertainment, to please the gods. Tomorrow I will make 600 Roman soldiers gladiatorial. Only in this way can the soul of Kress rest in peace."

Spartacus said.

"It's a fantastic idea."

"Hahaha, let 600 Roman soldiers fight, Spartacus, how did you come up with this method, those Romans must be mad when they know the news."

"..."

Everyone praised that all the leaders of the rebel army were gladiators.

Let 600 Roman soldiers perform gladiator performances in front of them, which makes them feel like they have turned themselves into masters.

The next morning, a large number of slave rebels surrounded a valley with three floors and three floors outside, and a Roman soldier was driven into it.

They were issued short swords and shields, and then split into two camps.

They looked at the rebels around them suspiciously, what do they mean?

Spartacus looked at them indifferently, just in front of him, Kress's body was placed on the pyre.

"Captives of Rome, I am Spartacus, the leader of the rebel army. You have killed Kress in a despicable way. He is a great gladiator, a true friend, and loved by all the rebels. Leaders. Now is the time for you to atone for your actions, and I order you to divide into two teams and fight each other like gladiators."

"If you dare disobey my orders,

I will crucify you and flog you to death, just as you have done to us. "

Spartacus said loudly.

There was an uproar among the Roman captives, which was simply unreasonable. They were Romans, and they were going to perform a gladiatorial show for a group of slaves.

"You are too much! Aren't you afraid that the Senate will retaliate against you?"

said a Roman soldier.

"Now it's officially started. If there is anyone alive after half an hour, he will be crucified."

After speaking, Spartacus threw the torch into the pyre, and Xiongxiong's flames burned, and then gradually engulfed Kress's body.

"Kill quickly! Or be crucified!"

"Crucify all these bastards!"

"No, they should be burned alive."

"..."

The slaves around shouted frantically, some Roman soldiers were terrified looking at those hideous slaves.

"I will never kill a Roman. Go to hell with me."

A Roman soldier killed the rebels directly.

The slave standing at the front blocked his dagger with a shield, and then the slaves around him swarmed up with grimaces, knocked off his dagger, and carried him to a cross next to him.

Some slaves laughed wildly and picked up hammer and nails and nailed him to the cross. Then one slave picked up a whip and beat him. Some slaves almost fought for the job.

"Hurry up, if you don't do it, you will all be crucified."

Curius yelled.

Those Roman soldiers had no choice but to raise their hands.

Just before the raging flames, more than 600 Roman soldiers began to fight each other according to the way the army fought. One Roman soldier was pierced through the chest by the opposite Roman soldier with a sword, and his eyes were full of hatred.

"Levi will avenge us, just wait, he will crucify you all by then."

"I'm waiting for him."

Spartacus said coldly.

At the gate of Dragon City, Li Wei and some officials are welcoming a large number of cavalry.

These cavalry included Armenians, Galacians, Pondus, and even Syrians and Arabs.

"Why do you have so many people here? Didn't I just find Diotarus and a few tribes in Armenia?"

Levi asked.

Calculating the time for the battle between the rebel army and the Roman army, he wrote a few letters in advance to King Galacia and some tribes that Armenia himself protected, hoping to hire some cavalry. The number does not need to be too many, at most two thousand is enough. But I didn't expect them to send more than 5,000 riders.

"General Li Wei, you are too polite. After knowing that you need cavalry, my king immediately sent us to listen to the order. If we fail to complete the task you ordered, let us make atonement with death."

A cavalry leader sent by Antioch said respectfully.

"Our king also said the same thing. If you have anything to do, just tell the general, and we will promise to handle it for you."

The face of an Arab cavalry leader almost turned into a flower with a smile.

The thrones of their kings were all canonized by Li Wei, and Li Wei was one of the three giants in Rome, so of course he desperately flattered Li Wei.

"In this case, I'm not being polite, let's go in and talk about it."

Li Wei laughed and said.

He led these cavalry leaders to Dragon City and settled the cavalry.

But the territory of Dragon City couldn't accommodate these cavalry at all, and had to settle part of the cavalry in Capua.

After some busy work, he hosted a banquet in honor of these chiefs.

All kinds of delicious food and wine were presented, and the cavalry leaders ate happily.

At this moment, a young officer with a childish face came in. It was Saverio, the captain of the Guards.

As the chief student among the orphans, his performance is the best among all the orphans.

Saverio said respectfully, "Patriarch, Consul Publicola and Clodianus ask to see you."

"What are they doing here?"

Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help frowning.

The two consuls came to ask for an interview, and they knew the reason without asking. Most likely they came to ask for help.

"I'd better go out to greet you in person."

In any case, he is also the Roman consul, so he still has to give him some face.

The cavalry leaders also asked to go together, and Li Wei was of course obedient.

Soon they saw the two consuls at the gate of Dragon City. Their faces were very haggard and their eyes were bloodshot. They seemed to be very sad these days.

"It turns out that the two consuls are here, and it is really disappointing."

Li Wei laughed and said.

"Li Wei, you also know the current situation, this time we are here to ask for your help."

Publicola said straight to the point.

The news of the defeat of the two consuls had spread, and Spartacus had 600 Roman soldiers perform gladiatorial performances for the death of Cres, which completely angered the Romans and the Senate.

The Senate has urgently recruited 8 legions to prepare to encircle and suppress Spartacus again.

"Yes, what help do you want?"

Li Wei said as he walked.

"We want to borrow troops."

Publicola said.

Li Wei has four legion crusaders and one legion guard in Dragon City. They have known this news for a long time. In addition, he also deployed a legion crusader in Capua. It can be said that Li Wei is the only one nearby. Someone who can help them.

"This is impossible! Spartacus has an army of 70,000, and my army must be used to protect Dragon City. You know the last time the pirates attacked Dragon City. I can't let this happen again."

Li Wei flatly refused, "I suggest you go back to Rome, and the Senate will make up for you."

Not to mention the failure of these two people, they did not return to Rome for a long time, and they still wanted to rely on that little defeat to make a comeback.

"If we return to Rome, the Senate will never give us another chance to lead troops."

Publicola said.

"I do have a way. You can suggest to the Senate that I lead the troops to fight, so that we can join forces, and you can also get rid of the shame."

Levi said.

Hearing this, the two consuls were extremely moved.

Although in this way, their brilliance will be covered by Li Wei, but at least they can wash away their shame.

"We'll think about it."

Clodianus said.

"who are they?"

Looking at the cavalry leaders in different costumes, Publikola asked.

"My mercenary."

Li Wei said, as for borrowing people from these cavalry, don't even think about it.

They also seemed to see what Li Wei was thinking, and in the end they didn't make fun of themselves.

The two consuls really let Li Wei out of the mountain according to Li Wei's idea, but they were flatly rejected by the Senate and ridiculed by the Senate.

Unwilling to fail, they attacked Spartacus again, but they were defeated.

Rome was shocked, the Senate was shocked, Spartacus led the army to continue northward, and Rome was in a panic.

Fortunately, Spartacus did not attack Rome, otherwise God knows what would have happened.

A carrier pigeon landed in Longcheng, and Morris quickly took it to see Li Wei.

"Has it finally started?"

After reading the letter, Li Wei said with a smile that the senate has finally started to choose generals, and of course this time the election will be made by the citizens' assembly.

"Where did Spartacus go?"

Levi asked.

"They have passed through Rome and entered Shannan Gaul."

Morris said.

"Send the order down, order everyone to get ready and go to Rome tomorrow."

Levi said it was time to return to Rome.

The next day, Li Wei led a thousand cavalry to leave Dragon City for Rome, and arrived in Rome in less than two days.

Looking at the majestic Roman city wall, a smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

I finally fulfilled my promise and came back with an army.

On the People's Square, Crassus was giving a speech to a large number of Roman citizens, making various promises to them, hoping that they would support him in being elected as the commander-in-chief of the encirclement and suppression uprising army.

A large number of veterans are also building momentum for Crassus, expressing their support for him, making him the most powerful force on the square. If nothing else happens, the commander in chief of the encirclement and suppression of the rebel army will fall into his hands.

At this time, a slave quickly came to him and whispered a few words, and Crassus' face immediately looked like he had eaten a stool.

"What did you say? Levi is back?"

Crassus said with a look of shock.

"Yes, he is on his way to the square."

said the slave.

"Bastard, what is he doing back at this time?"

Crassus said furiously.

As long as you think about it with your toes, you will understand that his return definitely has something to do with the general selection.

No, he must not be allowed to participate in the selection, Crassus thought.

At this time, there was a loud noise in the distance, which attracted the attention of countless people.

Crassus looked over and found that Li Wei came over surrounded by everyone.

The people expressed their warm welcome to Li Wei. Now that the Roman people are panicking, Li Wei's arrival can be said to give them a reassurance.

Crassus walked over with a sullen face.

"Li Wei. Why are you here?"

After seeing Crassus, a smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

"Of course I'm participating in the election, otherwise what would I do when I come back?"

"Don't you know that the Senate banned you from participating in Spartacus?"

Crassus said while holding back his anger.

"Do you still remember the oracle of the true god? The flames of war will burn all over Rome, and the honor of the Romans will be tarnished. Only I can solve this matter..."

Li Wei said coldly.
