Roman Slave Owner

At this time, a gladiator cavalry rushed over in a panic, The big thing is not good, a Roman army is rushing here,

Kress couldn't help being taken aback, How many of them are there?

About 3,000 people.

The cavalryman said, Kress' face changed immediately, 3000 people?

Could it be the team sent by Rome to encircle them?

Quick, everyone retreats immediately, the Roman army is coming.

Kress said loudly.

Hearing this, the gladiators did not dare to delay, they hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield, and then ran towards Mount Vesuvius.

Memius looked at all this out of breath. At this moment, he was afraid for a while. Their ring formation was almost broken by the slave rebel army just now, and finally he did not give the order to pursue.

Thank you so much, Memius,

A villager came up and said.

This is what we should do. As a crusader, we always keep in mind the teachings of the prophets, serve the believers wholeheartedly, and strive to spread the glory of the true God.

Memius said with a straight face, and then made a sign of the cross on his chest, God bless.

God bless.

God bless.

...

Those villagers all said that even if some of them were not believers of the Holy Cult, they were full of gratitude to the Holy Cult at this time.

Some even developed a resentment against Roman Catholicism, where were you when we were in danger, and it was the Crusaders who saved us.

Do you know which Roman army is coming?

someone asked,

Memius shook his head, he was not very clear about this either.

Not long after, the eagle flag fluttered, and a Roman army soon appeared in front of them.

A centurion came out and said, Who are you? Why are there so many wounded? Have you been attacked by slaves?

I'm Memius, the centurion of the Crusaders. I was indeed attacked by more than 500 slaves just now, but they have already fled to Mount Vesuvius. I don't know which army you are from?

Memius said.

Our leader is Justice Graber, ordered by the Senate to encircle and suppress Spartacus.

said the centurion.

Graber, I didn't expect it to be him.

Graber was also a member of the Claudius clan, of noble birth, and Memius had heard of his name when he was in Rome.

500 slaves? Gaius, you lead three brigades to immediately pursue the slaves.

After receiving the centurion's order, a handsome middle-aged man in a red cloak said that he was the commander of the army, Judge Graber.

Yes, Lord Chancellor.

Said a military tribune, and immediately began the pursuit with three brigades.

Grebo stepped forward to condolences to these villagers cordially,

In his opinion, exterminating those slaves is easy, on the contrary, he has to seize every opportunity to win the hearts of the people so as to prepare for his career as a consul.

Those villagers expressed their gratitude to him one after another, after all, it was his arrival that saved their lives.

You are Memius, the centurion of the Crusaders?

Greber looked at Memius with a sharp gaze and said.

He has also heard about the Crusaders, and they can often be seen maintaining order in front of churches in Rome.

Yes.

Memius said, bowing his head slightly to express his respect.

What are you doing here?

Graber asked.

As ordered by the Prophet, protect the believers of the true God from the slave rebels.

Memius said.

So it was Li Wei's order? Graber couldn't help but frowned.

Do you know the situation of Spartacus and others here? Would you like to be my guide?

Graber said.

I understand, but I'm afraid I can't be your guide.

Why?

The Crusaders will only fight to protect believers and spread the glory of the true God. It is not within our responsibility to destroy the rebels.

Memius said apologetically.

Protect believers...spread the glory of the true God...

An inexplicable smile appeared on Greber's face, It sounds good, so I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go to Mount Vesuvius right now. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me.

Okay, and thank you very much for saving your life.

Memius said.

Greber nodded, and then left here with the army.

The arrival of the Roman army made the slave rebels nervous again, and it didn't take long before Grebo came to the bottom of Mount Vesuvius.

After checking the terrain of Mount Vesuvius and asking the guide, he has a good idea of ​​how to deal with this group of slaves.

What an idiot, to have such an easy solution to them and yet be so hard.

Greber feels a little inconceivable about Senus's stupidity, maybe he is too arrogant.

Send an order to block the road down the mountain and set up a camp. I will trap them to death on the volcano.

Graber said very confidently.

Yes, Lord Chancellor.

In the Roman Forum, Serabio was giving a speech at the top of his lungs.

Dear Roman citizens, I want you to know the truth about what happened recently. Just over 120 years ago, someone used the same despicable means to point at Scipio. Scipio defeated Hannibal and made Rome's Great feats.

But some insidious villains ordered the tribunes of the populace to sue Scipio, and finally Scipio left Rome sadly. This is a shame to our Rome.

Just a few days ago, the same despicable thing happened in the Senate. They were not only accusing Lebiris, but also accusing Li Wei. Needless to say, Li Wei's credit has never been so extensive for Rome. country.

But less than a year has passed since this incident, someone couldn't wait to put him to death, and poured dirty water on him desperately.

Serapio said angrily.

Why do we in Rome treat our heroes like this? Let them shed blood and tears, can't they let them spend their lives in peace?

Listening to Serabio's words, the Roman citizens talked a lot and expressed their support for Li Wei.

During this period of time, Sidigus sued Lebiris, which caused a lot of trouble in the city. After all, Li Wei was defeated by the Senate. The Senate sent a ten-member committee to Asia to investigate the truth in person.

With the help of some people, they pointed the finger at Li Wei, claiming that all of this was instigated by Li Wei, and a considerable part of those bribes fell into Li Wei's hands.

This made Li Wei very angry. These days, the elders gave speeches here every day, accusing Sidigus and Metellus and others.

Sidious and another tribune of the populace stood in a nearby synagogue, quietly watching the crowd in the square. This was a synagogue specially built by Cato the Elder for the office of the tribune of the populace.

People don't seem to care about the stain on Levi, and their support for Levi hasn't diminished much.

said the civil tribune.

So what, at least people know Levi is not perfect. He makes mistakes, he corrupts.

Sidious said with a sneer.

Aren't you afraid that Li Wei will retaliate against you?

Of course I'm not afraid. Many elders are very dissatisfied with him, and they all support me to do this. The ten-member committee will come back soon. At that time, the only end for Lebiris is to go into exile. People will know that I am the real fearless power.

Sidious said with a smile.

Everyone knew that the person behind the accusation against Scipio was the Ombudsman Cato the Elder, but Cato the Elder did not suffer much.

He seemed to have seen Li Wei's embarrassment under his own accusation, and he became famous because of it.

The tribune of the populace looked at him with a complicated expression, and perhaps he would really be famous in Rome for this.

***

In the villa of Nepos on the Palatine Hill.

Bastard! Bastard! This is slander! Naked slander!

After reading the Roman Journal in his hand, Napos angrily tore the Roman Journal into pieces.

Since the two sides tore their faces apart, all the resources under Li Wei's hands were fully fired, and they violently bombarded the Metellus family and Sidigus.

All kinds of scandals about the Metellus family were exposed, which really opened the eyes of the Roman people.

Because Napos wants to be a construction officer, he is their target of fire.

He slept with a little girl last month, but they found out that little girl, and they wanted to sue him for rape.

The whole case was so uproar in Rome that his reputation was now discredited.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, that little girl was introduced by a knight, and she was definitely not raped, which made Napos have the urge to vomit blood.

We must sue them, it must not be done like this.

One of his Greek slaves said that his name was Jino, he was trusted by Napos, and he was often sent to do some very private things.

You are right. This matter must not be left alone. The honor of the Metellus family will not be tarnished.

Napos said viciously, By the way, what happened to what I asked you to do yesterday?

It's all done, and the deposit is given to them.

Jino whispered, he looked around, this matter is against the law.

Because of the impact of this incident, I need more supporters. You can find some more people. I am determined to win the position of construction officer this time.

Napos said.

no problem.

Jino thought for a while and said.

In the early morning, there was a long queue in front of a church, and a large number of low-income people and homeless people were queuing to receive food.

Menenius, I have some good news for you recently. Metellus Napos wants to be a construction officer. He needs support. Do you want to make a fortune?

Among the ranks, Brutium said to Menenius.

How much.

Menenius cheered up, and quickly said that every summer and autumn is a chance for them to make extra money.

5 dinars.

Done.

It's still the old rule, remember to gather in front of the charity relief home when the time comes.

OK.

Menenius said.

With this money, he can fill his stomach again.

He hadn't had enough to eat for a long time, and he was dizzy with hunger all day.

After all, it is very difficult for a disabled person like him to find a job. The church provides some jobs for the disabled, but unfortunately they are all taken up by veterans under Li Wei.

At this time, a crusader sat next to a table and said loudly: Believers of the true god, please pay attention, our crusaders are planning to recruit 1,000 new crusaders, and the requirements must be devout believers of the true god, aged 20 Between the ages of 30 and 15 dinars a month, including food and housing, anyone who is interested can come to me to sign up.

Hearing this, many people were moved.

Fifteen dinars a month is really nothing in Rome, even a low salary, but the key is to include food and housing, at least you don’t have to live hungry and full.

So some people came forward one after another, intending to sign up.

Menenius looked envious, but he didn't talk about his physical condition.

Aren't you going?

Menenius said to Brutium.

I'm not interested in that, I still like my current job.

Brutium said.

You call it work? Are you wandering around all day?

Menenius said with contempt on his face that he feels much better about Brutium now.

He has been persuading him to find a decent job, but Bruttim has always refused.

Don't look at me wandering around. The Charity and Relief Hospital takes care of food and housing. I earn at least 20 dinars a month, and there are many women who want to be nice to me.

Bruttim said proudly.

Menenius admitted that he was right, that Brutium was a man of considerable powers.

Ordinary people can only live in the Charity Salvation Home for three months a year, but he does not have this restriction, and he completely takes the Charity Salvation Home as his home.

He once asked why, but Bruttim always avoided answering.

Having received the free food, Menenius devoured it and parted ways with Brutium.

Walking on the crowded street, Menenius did not have much joy on his face.

Although Rome is prosperous, it has nothing to do with him, and it will only make him more lonely, because he is just a helpless tramp.

In order to avoid everyone's strange eyes, he found a deserted alley and found a shady place to sit down and rest.

Before long, he fell asleep.

I'm so sorry to bother you.

At some point, a familiar voice came from a nearby house.

It doesn't matter, you also have good intentions.

said a strange voice.

Menenius opened his bewildered eyes to see a nun coming out of a dwelling.

That nun is...

Casia?

Menenius?

The two quickly recognized each other, and it was Cassia who preached to him.

What are you doing here?

asked Menenius.

The church gave us a task. Let me convince those Roman citizens to send their children to church schools. Everything is free.

Cassia said, with an innocent smile on her face.

Free...

Menenius looked shocked, how much would it cost.

Cassia quickly saw what he was thinking, and quickly explained: This is only limited to Rome, and only Roman citizens have this benefit, and other places do not have this benefit.
