Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 380: Battle of Miracles

Some Teutons could no longer bear this terrible pressure and fled directly backward.

Some of them managed to stay, but why were their hands holding the weapons trembling all the time?

At this time, they discovered that the grenadiers lit the fuse again and then threw them over here.

Mom!

The Teutons could no longer withstand this terrible pressure and fled backwards.

boom!

boom!

boom!

...

There was another terrible explosion behind them, and feeling the terrible air waves, they fled faster.

Burton shook his head, turned his horse, and began to flee with the army.

A smile appeared on Li Wei's face. This was the conquest of barbarism by civilization, so he ordered his people to pursue them quickly.

Bugles sounded, and the Roman army began a full-scale pursuit.

Not only a large number of infantry were involved, but also more than 10,000 cavalry.

If nothing else happens, this will definitely be an epic victory.

In the Hostilian synagogue, Crassus showed a confident smile on his face. He said: Now I announce the results of the vote. The number of senators who agreed that I should serve as governor of Armenia and Pontus and lead 10 legions to support Pompey is 228, 187 opposed. This resolution officially takes effect!

Thunderous applause immediately erupted in the synagogue. Cicero, Geta and others looked livid. They had been too cowardly in the past six months.

They have been beaten down by Crassus and others, but fortunately Crassus and Pompey are leaving, and there are not many generals in the aristocratic faction in Rome. I believe that life will be much easier in the next few years.

I will be leaving for my new post in a few days. Thank you all for your supervision and encouragement during this time...

Crassus said sensationally.

At this time, a civilian tribune near the passage spoke a few words to a guard outside, and then took a note from his hand.

He excitedly interrupted Crassus's speech and said loudly: Everyone, I have a very important good news to tell you.

Everyone looked at him, and Crassus even showed a dissatisfied face, daring to interrupt his own speech.

We won in Gaul, and with the blessing of the true God we defeated the enemy's army of millions,

said the plebeian tribune excitedly.

All the elders looked shocked, and Carats stood up from their ivory seats.

What did you say? Did we really win?

Crassus asked.

Yes, the weapons given by God showed great power. It is said that there were thunders and thick smoke rising into the sky. Thousands of enemies were wiped out in one blow, and millions of enemies were terrified. The prophet Li Wei led the army to attack on the initiative, with 10 Ten thousand enemies have been defeated by millions, and we are currently pursuing the enemy with all our strength.”

The plebeian tribune said, waving the small note in his hand.

Hearing this, the elders couldn't help but open their mouths in exaggeration.

Is it so terrifying to kill a thousand enemies in one blow?

Crassus's face became extremely pale. He held on to the armrest with difficulty, and then slowly sat down.

Let me see it quickly.

Geta said.

The civilian tribune quickly handed the small note in his hand to Geta. The other senators quickly gathered around. After reading it, Geta's face showed a look of ecstasy.

God bless you! This is a miracle! A miracle!

Geta shouted excitedly.

That's right, we must hold a grand ceremony to thank the gods.

said Cicero.

The note was passed around among the crowd. After reading it, some people were shocked, some were extremely excited, and finally it was passed to Crassus.

After reading it, Crassus' face became even more ugly.

how could this be?

Great true God, why do you want to intervene in the war on earth?

At this time, Crassus' mouth was full of bitterness.

Dear elders, this is a great war! It is a miraculous war! It is the conquest of the pagans by the true God! I have a proposal,

I think there should be a 20-day thank-the-gods festival!

said Cicero.

I agree.

A very good idea.

...

All the elders said one after another, and some elders did not dare to speak even if they objected.

Our Holy Church will also hold a grand walk and invite all Roman people to eat and drink for three days. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Geta said with a laugh.

Definitely.

It's an honor for us.

...

The Senate quickly passed a resolution to hold a 20-day thank-the-god festival, which was the longest thank-the-god sacrifice in history, to commemorate this great victory. Even Rome had never encountered such a powerful enemy in its history.

The whole of Rome was in a state of excitement. People had never imagined that Rome would achieve such a great victory.

The Holy Cult took action according to the planned plan. They took walks, games, and free food and drinks. They wanted to take the opportunity to harvest a wave of faith.

In a secret room, looking at the Daily Romano in front of him, Caesar's expression kept changing.

The miraculous battle! God-given weapons made Gaul famous! The prophet defeated millions of barbarians!

Our army has killed more than 100,000 enemies and captured 150,000 enemies. We are still pursuing them.

“The greatest coronation in history, the prophet Levi is expected to carry out his coronation next month.”

...

The Roman Journal was full of news about Gaul, and it completely became Livy's personal propaganda machine.

But in recent days, the Daily Corriere dello Romano has sold out of stock, which shows how much people like these news.

Although Caesar didn't like to see this news, there was some news about the god-given weapons that he cared about most, so he kept paying attention every day.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Caesar's face showed joy, and he took out an exquisite necklace on the table, for which he spent a huge sum of money, intending to give Servilia a surprise.

He opened the room, and then a smile appeared on his face: Sevilia...

But soon the smile froze on his face, because someone he could never imagine appeared outside.

Crasus, why are you here?

Caesar said uneasily.

I'm sorry for disturbing your and Servilia's party. She asked me to tell you that she won't be able to come today because she has something to do.

Crassus smiled, then pushed open the door very familiarly, found a chair and lay down.

I said, I don't want to meet you. Do you know how many people are staring at you?

Caesar said coldly.

I understand, so I came here secretly, and I promise that no one will find out. I will be taking office soon, and I want to see you in person. This will probably be the only interview we have in the past few years.

Crassus said.

Caesar reluctantly closed the door, then sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.

Tell me, what's the matter?

Caesar said.

Things are developing in the worst direction for us. Many elders are wavering. They are afraid of Levi and the true God.

Crassus sighed and said, Do you have any news about God-given weapons?

No, that is their top secret. Not even me, not even Servilia has access to it. Everything is produced in the core area of ​​Dragon City and then transferred out through secret channels.

Caesar said.

But I've gotten some information.

Crassus laughed.

Caesar looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect their efficiency to be so amazing.

We spent a lot of money to pick up a few God-given weapons they called grenades from the battlefield. Many people died for this, but it was all worth it.

Crassus said: We found that this kind of thing will explode when it encounters fire, and then it will produce huge power. We had people analyze this grenade and found that its core secret is what they call black powder. Black powder is made of three There are three substances composed of certain proportions, namely sulfur and carbon powder, but there is one substance that we don’t know what it is.”

After speaking, he took out a small wooden tube, pulled out the stopper and poured out the contents. A black powder mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur appeared in front of his eyes.

There was no record of saltpeter being found in the ancient West until the 13th century. Their knowledge of saltpeter came from the Arabs.

The Arabs first mentioned saltpeter in a medical book. They called it Chinese snow, while the Turks called it Chinese salt.

Li Wei obtained saltpeter by making saltpeter using local methods, which was obtained through the reaction of saltpeter soil and plant ash next to toilets and cattle pens.

Caesar took a little carefully and looked carefully at his fingertips.

What do you want me to do?

Caesar asked.

I want you to find out how this stuff is made.

Crassus said.

This is impossible. Even Servilia and Geta don't know. How can I possibly get the method of making it?

Caesar flatly refused.

So can you get Levi's No. 2 and No. 3 battle plans?

Crassus asked.

This has always been a big stone weighing on his heart. He hid this news from everyone and did not dare to let them know, otherwise the morale of their group would probably disappear.

If Livi's No. 2 and No. 3 battle plans were not understood and Li Wei tried to trick him, he might be defeated even if he had 40 Roman legions.

Can't do it.

Caesar said unceremoniously.

Crassus looked at him dissatisfied, You are our highest-status person among them. If we can't even get you, then we are defeated.

It doesn't matter to me. I'm very satisfied being a veteran.

Caesar said.

But you betrayed them. If they knew, they wouldn't let you go.

Crassus smiled.

Damn, you threatened me.

Caesar said angrily that it was all because of that stupid woman. If it weren't for her, he might be celebrating this victory with Cicero and the others now.

Caesar, there is no turning back for you.

Crassus said.

Caesar gave him a sharp look, Even if there is no turning back, I can't figure out those two plans. That plan is probably only known to Li Wei alone, and maybe the slaves in the core area of ​​Dragon City.

Crassus felt extremely headache, and it was in the core area.

Should he lead 10 legions to launch a surprise attack on Dragon City? No, this is definitely not a wonderful idea.

Dragon City must also be equipped with God-given weapons, and even if there are 10 legions, they may not be able to win.

And he, Crassus, would not do such a thing without a retreat, which meant that in a military showdown with Li Wei, he had no confidence in defeating Li Wei.

Then what can you do? Now we are in the same boat.

Crassus said.

Caesar was silent for a while. If Crassus and the others could still reconcile with Livy, then there was no possibility of reconciliation for him.

According to his understanding of Li Wei, Li Wei would not let the betrayer go.

There's one guy who could very well make a huge difference.

Caesar said.

who?

Crassus asked.

Catiline.

Is there anything special about him?

Do you know why they put Catiline to death?

Caesar laughed.

Crassus shook his head, he really knew nothing about this matter.

It is said that the true god told Livi that Catiline was likely to cause a turmoil. Livi did not want to see turmoil, so he wanted to kill Catiline.

Caesar said.

Crassus looked at Caesar in shock, not expecting such a thing to happen.

But Levi failed in the end.

Crassus said.

Yes, I think we can get things back on his track and let Catiline find out what they're about.

Caesar said.

Crassus was also a smart man, and he soon understood Caesar's plan.

I remember that Catiline wanted to be consul, and I thought I could support him.

Caesar said.

You are right, no matter whether he can succeed or not, he will eventually be forced to fight to the death with Levi.

Crassus smiled and said, Thank you, you gave me very valuable advice.

What about the remuneration? I want to be a construction officer. I'm short of money. Can you lend me some money?

Caesar said.

Crassus looked at the jewelry on the table helplessly. From his perspective, this jewelry was worth ten thousand dinars.

It's impossible to pick up girls with the amount of money you spend without lack of money.

You know I can't support you openly, but I have a friend who is a loan shark. I can ask him to lend you some money.

Crassus said.

Borrow? Do I still have to pay high interest?

Caesar said dissatisfiedly.

No interest required.

Crassus said with some heartache.

Okay then, I need to borrow a million dinars.

Caesar said.

Crassus almost fell to the ground. He pointed at Caesar and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Do you know...how much a million is?

Of course I know, it's just that I need the money urgently.

Caesar said.

Okay then, whatever you want.

Crassus said, and then walked away.

He felt that Caesar was too greedy, but forget it, why did he need Caesar's help?

One million dinars is really nothing compared to his news.

Caesar smiled faintly, how could it be possible for him to work for nothing?

On the far coast of the Baltic Sea, the German army had already invaded a stone fortress.

They were wearing armor and were slaughtering some Angles.

Although the Angles were extremely brave, they still retreated steadily in the face of the heavily armed Germans.

An Anglian man wearing only half an animal skin, with most of his shoulders exposed, stabbed Wulfa fiercely.

Wufa easily dodged his thrust, then kicked him into the air.
