Roman Slave Owner

A large number of senators gathered in the Roman Senate, and the new consul Cicero was delivering an impassioned speech.

"Fellow senators, under the guidance of the true God, the great Pope landed in Britain and defeated the barbarians there. This is an extremely great discovery! All thanks to the great true God! This is a miracle!"

"I propose a 20-day thanksgiving ceremony to commemorate our discovery of the New World."

Thunderous applause immediately erupted in the Senate. The discovery of the New World was indeed a very memorable event.

A hypocritical smile appeared on Men Muse's face, but there was a sneer in her heart. Just be proud of yourself. Soon you won't be able to cry anymore.

But he was also frightened by the greatness of the true God. He is simply omniscient and omnipotent, and even distant Britain knows it. If he were not in a hostile position, he would not mind serving the true God.

"I formally propose to discuss this. Chief Senator Catullus, what do you think?"

"I agree with this."

Catullus said with a smile.

"What's your opinion, Dolabella?"

"Seconded."

Things went very smoothly, and even Livy's opponents did not intend to make things difficult on this matter. This is a major event worthy of celebration.

Just when everyone was discussing in full swing, Brutim appeared outside the Senate. His face was very anxious, and he said a few words to the civilian tribunes guarding the passage. The expressions of those civilian tribunes also changed drastically, and they immediately He took him into the Senate.

"Everyone, we have just received a very important news. I think it is necessary to interrupt the Senate meeting."

said one of the plebeian tribunes.

The senators looked at him in surprise, wondering what could have happened to interrupt the Senate meeting.

After seeing Brutim, Menmuse looked a little unkind. Could it be that Catiline's affairs were exposed?

After looking at all the senators, Brutim said loudly: "Dear consuls, respected elders. I believe that many senators know my name and my identity. My name is Brutim, my friend. Just told me a very important news. Catiline is leading four legions to march towards Rome at full speed, and is expected to arrive in Rome the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, all the elders couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"How is this possible? It must be fake."

"Is he crazy?"

"..."

"Ridiculous! You are just a stained Roman citizen, how could you possibly know such a thing? I think you are talking nonsense. I suggest that he be detained for strict interrogation. Who ordered him to do this?"

Menmuse said coldly.

Brutim looked at him angrily.

This damn guy! Doesn't he know how important what he said is? Or are they all in the same group?

Thinking of this, Brutim couldn't help but feel horrified.

This is really possible, as Menmus and Catiline have been very close recently.

"I swear in the name of the true God, I promise that everything I say is true. If there is even half a word that is false, I am willing to fall into hell and suffer eternal torture."

Brutim said confidently.

The senators talked a lot and didn't know what to do for a while, but Cicero, Geta and others still believed in him because they all knew his identity.

This made them all serious, it was really scary to be in Rome the day after tomorrow.

"Guys, I think we must discuss this seriously and put the topic of Britain aside for now."

Cicero said with a serious face, "Senator Catullus, do you have any objections?"

"I think a mission should be sent to investigate this matter."

Catullus said.

"Senior Dolabella, what do you think?"

"I agree with the opinion of Senator Catullus. In addition, I think that emergency mobilization and the recruitment of troops should be carried out to deal with this matter."

Dolabella said.

"I object. It is too much to raise a large army before the matter is clear. Now we are bearing the cost of more than 30 legions in Britain and Parthia at the same time, and there are also a large number of auxiliary troops. The cost is really too much. , I think the investigation will be clear before conscription."

Menmuse said.

"Muse of Gate, please remain silent. It's still time for discussion."

Cicero said coldly.

Not only him, but also Geta and others discovered the strangeness of Menmuse. If Menmuse and the others supported this, the consequences would be terrible.

"Okay then."

Menmuse said.

So the discussion started next, and to their surprise, a veteran who had always been neutral began to give a eloquent speech, which continued for more than 20 minutes without stopping.

Cicero and others were very angry about his behavior.

"Senior Menelius, you are taking too long. You know the matter is urgent and we must make a decision today."

said Cicero.

"Consul Cicero, I think the situation is indeed urgent, but it is more important to find out the truth of the matter. I firmly believe in Catiline's character. I know him. He is a man with a great sense of justice and will never betray Rome. .Although he has conflicts with a very powerful figure, I don’t think he should be slandered so much.”

The veteran said righteously.

"That makes sense."

"Isn't this slander? How could he form four legions so quickly?"

"..."

Some elders started talking about it.

But Cicero and the others were livid.

Who else was that very powerful figure besides Livy?

I didn't expect him to be involved in this, it was simply unreasonable.

"Senator Menelius, do you know what you are talking about?"

said Cicero angrily.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. Some people start to bully others when they become more powerful. Although I consider myself a small person, I still want to say something fair. Someone sent someone to assassinate him, but he still slandered him. Others go too far.”

Menelius said disdainfully.

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the Senate immediately became strange, and some people almost applauded him.

They all knew that Catiline had been assassinated several times, and many people were aggrieved by this.

"Everyone, I also think we should investigate clearly before talking."

At this time, another elder stood up and said.

"Yes, that's my opinion too."

Another elder said.

"Senator Menelius, you have been talking for too long. I am announcing that no one can speak for more than 10 minutes. Anyone who does not speak for more than 10 minutes will be kicked out of the Senate for violating the order of the Senate."

said Cicero.

Although Cicero worked hard to control the agenda, things turned out to be beyond his expectations.

Perhaps inspired by him, many senators tried their best to extend the speech time. Until dark, the Senate still did not pass the resolution.

As soon as the Senate meeting was dissolved, Cicero and other senators immediately rushed to the Vatican. They knew that something serious was going on.

The lights in the Vatican were brightly lit. Emilia ordered people to entertain the senators, and then called Geta and other core senators to hold a small closed-door meeting.

Seeing that he was turned away, Caesar sighed. He was still not trusted.

In a simple room, not only Emilia was present in person, but Yulia, Monimee, and little Levi also appeared here.

After sitting down, Cicero asked anxiously: "Emilia, are these all true? Did Catiline really form four legions?"

"Yes, Brutim was sent by me. I thought the matter would be over, but I didn't expect him to be so skillful."

Emilia said with a frown.

"What can we do? We only have one legion here, so I'm afraid we are no match."

said Cicero.

"You still take things too simply. Catiline was able to form four legions so quickly without being discovered by us. This shows that there is a powerful force behind him. Lepidus did not do this. There is only one place that can have such a powerful force, and that is Rome."

Getta said.

"What you said makes sense. I think Menmuse's performance today is very suspicious."

Serabio said.

"This matter has nothing to do with them."

Geta sneered, "Even if we pass the resolution of conscription, we will probably not be Catiline's opponent. Those nobles have deep-rooted influence in Rome. If we fight in Rome, we will definitely lose."

"Then what should we do?"

Emilia asked.

"Catiline has a deep hatred for us, and he will definitely come to us for revenge, so I think everyone except Cicero will go to Dragon City, which is our territory. A decisive battle in Rome is too dangerous, here There are too many hidden enemies, and you never know when they will stab you in the back. At the same time, we should recruit all the crusaders to go to Dragon City."

Geta said.

Hearing this, Cicero's expression changed.

He was a Roman consul and indeed should not leave Rome at will.

"Is this really what you want?"

Cicero said with a grimace, "Wouldn't it hurt you to leave me alone?"

"I agree with Geta's opinion. I think His Majesty the Pope should be informed of this matter as soon as possible. I suspect that this matter is directed at His Majesty the Pope and the Holy Church."

Serabio said, while looking at Cicero with pity, the consul's timing was too bad.

"What's your opinion?"

Emilia said to Monime and others.

"This...I listen to you."

Yulia was a little confused.

"I also agree with Geta. I suspect they are here for the God-given weapons. All God-given weapons are produced in Dragon City. I think he will definitely attack Dragon City."

Monimee said.

God-given weapons?

The expressions of Geta and others changed slightly. God-given weapons have been too popular recently. They have not only become a weapon for Li Wei to attack cities, but also become a weapon for the Holy Religion to harvest faith. I don’t know how many people covet God-given weapons. Incessantly.

"You said it is very possible. If so, we will have to prepare for a war. Those tenant farmers and dependent people may also need to mobilize."

Geta said.

"We can also mobilize some believers."

said Cicero.

"No need for now. Unless Catiline takes action against the Holy Cult, I don't think believers should be mobilized."

Serabio said.

Listening to the discussion of several people, Emilia nodded repeatedly, and finally made the decision to withdraw to Dragon City tomorrow and mobilize all the dependent residents and a large number of tenant farmers. As for the believers, they will not mobilize for the time being.

Emilia said: "In this case, let's withdraw to Dragon City tomorrow and notify all the elders."

"The sooner the better."

Geta emphasized.

"Don't worry, I'll get the soldiers ready tonight."

Emilia said.

After notifying all the elders, those elders were in an uproar.

Some people were very excited, but most of them obeyed.

They had all experienced the brutal purges of Rome and knew that such things were no joke.

So the next day, a large number of senators left Rome with their whole families.

In addition to a legion stationed in Rome, there were also a large number of crusaders in Rome.

Many Roman citizens also learned the news and left Rome in fear.

For a while, the gates of Rome were blocked by citizens who were preparing to leave.

"Asshole, why did they leave Rome now?"

However, Menmus cursed loudly. He still hoped that Emilia and the others would stay in Rome and catch them all. This was bad, so he quickly called his cronies and informed Catiline of the news.

“What does doormuse mean?”

asked Catiline.

"My master means that you first send out cavalry to slow down their speed, and then the infantry march at full speed to annihilate them all before they return to Dragon City. Once they return to Dragon City, things will be in trouble."

Menmuse's henchman said.

"I understand, is it useful to just send the cavalry out?"

Catiline said with a smile.

"this……"

The confidant was speechless. He was not good at military matters.

"I only have more than a thousand cavalry, and the enemy's cavalry is at least 500. Plus a legion of enemies and a large number of crusaders, it is impossible to slow down the enemy's speed."

said Catiline.

He was not a rookie like Menmus who had never fought before. He was already a lieutenant general during the battle between Sulla and Capo.

"Then how should I reply to the master?"

said the confidant.

"Just reply with your original words. By the way, it's best to open the gates of Rome. I don't want any bloodshed to happen."

said Catiline.

"Okay then."

The messenger said, and then he had no choice but to leave here.

Catiline snorted coldly. He had already sensed Menmuse and the others' thoughts, but what could he do?

He had a deep hatred for Li Wei and others, and he had no worries and was alone.

Since Li Wei dared to do this to him, then he would bite him hard and let him know the consequences of offending him Catiline.

One day later, Catiline finally arrived in Rome with his army.

At this time the gates of Rome were closed, and Catiline smiled disdainfully.

He stepped forward and shouted: "I am Catiline, the former consul, appointed ruler of Rome by the gods, and I now command you to open the gates of the city."

On the city wall, Cicero looked at the army below the city with fear. Catiline actually led the army. What should he do?

If he had known this, he would have run away!
