Roman Slave Owner
Chapter 401: One body with the country
That day Catiline sent a large number of soldiers to arrest priests and nuns from various places, causing a lot of riots. Mobile terminal
In a charity asylum, a large number of soldiers wanted to take away a priest in front of many homeless people, but they were stopped by many homeless people and poor people.
What are you doing?
one homeless man asked angrily.
By order of Catiline, the lifelong dictator, all priests and nuns are arrested and expelled from Rome.
One of the leading centurions said.
How can you do this? This priest is a respectable person. The Holy Religion is also a kind religion. How can you do this to them?
Another homeless man said as well.
The Holy Religion denies the Roman gods. This is its greatest original sin. And you'd better quit the Holy Religion within 10 days, or get out of Rome.
The centurion said fiercely.
Seeing that the homeless people were still talking, the priest quickly said: Please stop trying to persuade me. The growth of a religion is destined to be a history of suffering, and the Holy Religion is no exception. This is a hardship for the Holy Religion, and it is also a hardship for the true God. Our test. I hope you will remember the Takia principle, disguise your faith well, and keep your useful body. The great Pope will surely regain Rome, and you will be needed when the time comes.
The centurion almost twisted his nose in anger. Of course he knew what the Takia principle was, which means that when religion is subjected to irresistible force, you can disguise your beliefs and do things that violate the doctrine. These will Be forgiven by the true God.
Come with me quickly and stop talking nonsense here.
The centurion said, and then took him away from here.
He decided to report the matter to the higher authorities, and it would be up to the higher authorities to decide how to resolve it.
The priest looked calm, like a hero who was about to die.
The homeless and poor people watched the priest leave with tears in their eyes. They were going to have nothing to eat again. What should they do?
The same thing happened not only in charity homes, but also at church doors, mission schools and major orphanages.
The whole of Rome was almost in chaos. Some people found themselves having to beg again, some found that they could not get breakfast in the morning, and some found that their children could not go to school.
Ten years have passed since Livy ordered the establishment of mission schools. Ten years have been enough for the original students to graduate and reach adulthood, and another generation of students has joined the mission schools.
You must know that the average age of Romans is only about 30 years old. It can be said that church schools are related to the vital interests of almost every Roman citizen.
Although many nobles died in the more than ten years of Sulla's Rebellion, it did not really harm the interests of the citizens. Many citizens even made a fortune in it.
But this time Catiline's order really hurt almost all Roman citizens,
They even lost food, which made them hate Catiline and others.
When Menmus took to the streets, he found that the eyes of the Roman citizens were full of indifference and hatred.
Especially some homeless people looked at them as if they wanted to kill them.
There were fewer and fewer people in the Civic Square. No one wanted to listen to the speeches of those senators. Even if there were people who wanted to listen, they were free people and slaves.
This made Menmius very worried. He did not expect that the Holy Religion would truly become one with the country.
Unless the civil class of Rome is completely eradicated, the Holy Religion will never be extinguished.
Is it just that he can do this?
Rome is the Rome of Roman citizens. The history of Rome is the history of the city of Rome and the history of this city's conquest of its country. There is a very famous history book called From the Founding of the City.
If the civil class in Rome were completely eradicated, would Rome still be the Rome he was proud of?
Thinking of this, Menmuse had a wry smile on his face.
What happened in Rome quickly spread to Dragon City. Old Annius was already furious that someone dared to deal with the Holy Cult like this.
Emilia was also very angry. As members of the Holy Family, of course they had to do their best to protect the Holy Religion.
And the bastard Menmuse actually dared to tease them. Pompey and Crassus were clearly supporting Catiline, but he dared to hide behind them and pretend to know nothing.
With the unanimous decision of everyone, the church launched a general mobilization.
Priests from all over the country encouraged believers from all over the country. A large number of believers brought their own armor and food to form a crusade and headed to Dragon City, causing Dragon City's strength to skyrocket again.

In the palace of the Kingdom of Numidia, King Hypsar handed over a letter of request for help signed by Emilia, Yulia and others to his ministers.
The ministers all talked a lot after seeing it. They didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Rome.
Everyone, what do you think I should do? Do I need to send soldiers to support them?
Hepsal asked.
Rome's internal affairs are not so easy to interfere with. He has never forgotten how he came to the throne.
Of course we have to send it. Now that the Holy Religion has God-given weapons, how can Catiline be the opponent of the Holy Religion.
said a minister.
That's right. Although Livi is far away in Britain, he has a large number of troops. Coupled with those Gauls and Germans, I believe the final victory must belong to him.
Another minister said.
All the ministers spoke one after another, and most of them supported Li Wei.
Their cavalry participated in the battles between Gaul and Germany, and of course they knew the terrifying power of God-given weapons.
Hepsal nodded repeatedly, In this case, we will send 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to Rome to support Dragon City.
The port of Igius in Gaul was the logistics base for Livy's expedition to Britain.
The bloody atmosphere here has not yet dissipated. After learning that the Morini and the Britons were colluding, Livi immediately sent people back to let them cleanse the local Morini.
After a fight, the local Morini people were defeated. Except for those who died in the battle, the rest were sold into slavery. From then on, there were no more Morini people.
After receiving a letter from Rome asking for help, Bellius and Annius were extremely shocked. Catiline actually appointed a lifelong dictator. This was simply shocking.
We must send someone to inform His Majesty as soon as possible and let him lead his army back to Rome.
Annius said.
That's right. We should also draw elites from Gaul and Germany and go to Rome together.
Bellius said.
Annius has no objection to this. Levi is their protector. If they don't do anything at this time, when will they do it?
I will send people to gather elites from each tribe, and then lead them to Shannan Gaul. You will send people to Britain to inform Your Majesty of this news.
Bellius said.
OK.
After the two reached an agreement, Bellius immediately sent a large number of cavalry to various tribes to inform them, asking them to send troops and food to prepare to go south to Rome.
He led all the cavalry and three Roman legions to Alpine Gaul to prepare for the attack on Rome.

A stone castle hidden in a forest in Britain is now surrounded by Roman soldiers.
More than a dozen trebuchets are located 70 Roman steps away from the stone castle. In addition, there are a large number of siege engines and ladders.
Your Majesty, everything is ready.
Lysias said respectfully.
Then order the soldiers to attack.
Levi said.
As commanded, Your Majesty.
Lysias said.
After receiving Levi's order, the soldiers immediately pushed the siege vehicle forward, and some soldiers followed them carrying ladders.
The trebuchet soldiers decisively smashed the firing hammer, and the shells passed over the city wall one after another, and then slammed into the stone castle.
boom!
boom!
...
There were violent explosions, black clouds of smoke rose into the sky, shrapnel flew everywhere, and shock waves raged.
There were screams one after another in the stone castle immediately. This was the first time they came into contact with trebuchet shells. The terrifying power of the shells frightened them all.
Some grenadiers followed the siege vehicle. After entering the firing range, they used the cover of the siege vehicle to throw grenades into the food fort.
The grenades kept exploding on the city wall, causing the Britons to scream and retreat from the stone wall.
The soldiers carrying the ladder at the back immediately began to speed up. They leaned the ladder against the city wall, and then climbed up the city wall through the ladder.
Then came the siege engines. Someone stepped directly onto the siege engines and then climbed onto the wall of the stone castle.
There was no too fierce fighting on the city wall. The Roman soldiers successfully occupied the city wall and then advanced into the stone castle.
The fact is that not only this battle, but also the previous battles were equally devastating. Facing the attack of the Roman army, the Britons were completely powerless to fight back.
Not long after, a tall man with a long beard was escorted over.
The sinner Cassivironnus has seen Your Majesty. The sinner knows that his sin is serious and begs Your Majesty's forgiveness.
As soon as the big man came to Li Wei, he knelt down and cried.
Li Wei glanced at him indifferently. They were all a bunch of drama queens. They only came to beg for mercy after being defeated. Why did they go there earlier?
However, the pope's majesty must be maintained, so he asked: How are you going to ask for my forgiveness?
My people are willing to offer all their gold and silver, send hostages, and kill the Morini envoys, just to ask Your Majesty to let us go once.
Cassivironnus said.
Not enough! Far from enough!
Levi said.
We are willing to convert our entire family to the Holy Religion.
There was a hint of joy in Cassivironnus's eyes, and it seemed that Levi was willing to let him go.
Levi was silent for a while and continued: It's still not enough.
How can I get Your Majesty's forgiveness? Please tell me.
Cassivironnus gritted his teeth and said.
Livy mused that these Britons were like the Gauls, prone to rebellion.
Even after the imperial era, they were extremely restless and would massacre the Romans who immigrated here once they rebelled.
Does he want to be as ruthless as the Germans to these Britons?
Seeing the murderous intent flashing in Li Wei's eyes, Cassivironnus couldn't help but sweat all over his head. Did he think wrong?
At this moment, a soldier ran over.
Your Majesty, Madam's urgent message.
Levi couldn't help but frown, how could there be an urgent letter at this time.
Taking the letter in his hand, Levi opened it and read it.
After reading this, my face changed drastically. It was such a shame that Catiline actually occupied Rome and was very likely to launch an attack on Dragon City.
His expression kept changing, and finally he said to Cassivronnus: Kill the priests of your tribe too, so that I can let you go.
As you command... Your Majesty.
Cassivironnus said dryly.
Such a killing would probably destroy his reputation among the Britons, and others would no longer regard him as a leader.
Livi ordered his men to stay and clean up the battlefield, and he left with Lysias.
After reading this letter, Lysias was shocked.
how could this be?
Yes, I also want to ask others, Levi thought. I am afraid that his epic achievement as the conqueror of Britain will not be completed for the time being.
I decided to temporarily abandon Britain, withdraw all my troops to Gaul, and then return to Rome.
Levi said.
Is this really necessary? Crossing the Rubicon without the permission of the Senate is...
Lysias said.
Don't worry, I've made up my mind.
Levi said.
After years of painstaking efforts, Rome has been deeply marked by the holy religion, and it is time for a change.
Seeing Levi's determined look, Lysias could only nod.
Be careful of the Britons as we leave, I fear they may rebel.
Levi said.
He remembered that Caesar had to leave Britain when he learned of the Gallic rebellion, and that the Britons immediately rebelled.
I see.
Lysias said.

In Dragon City, Caesar was untying his little hands.
Ever since he came to Dragon City, he seemed to have been completely idle, and no one thought of him at all.
Even Aetius was assigned a position as a military tribune. On the contrary, he seemed to be a freeloader.
This made him very angry, how could they treat him like this.
At this moment, there was a sound from outside.
Did you see those purple-red floating soils? Scrape them all up. The pressure on them is tight now. There must be no less.
I understand, steward.
Hearing this, Caesar couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
Recently, he often sees slaves scraping this purple-red soil in toilets, cattle pens and other places. And as the situation becomes tense, it is said that Longcheng has sent people everywhere to purchase this soil.
This made him very suspicious, why did Longcheng spend money to buy such dirty things? Is it related to the god-given weapons?
It just seems unlikely that a god-given weapon could be related to something like this.
Just then, a slave walked in.
After seeing Caesar's attire, he quickly bowed, then lay on the ground and scraped up the floating soil.
What are you doing this for?
Caesar asked, feigning curiosity.
I would like to inform this elder, this is an order from above. As for the specific reason, I don't understand.
said the slave.
How long have you been digging these?
This is about...five years old.
The slave rolled his eyes and said, then gave Caesar a strange look.
Do you know what this is used for? I see that you have a great demand for this kind of thing recently, and you have started to buy this kind of thing everywhere.
I don't know, I just know it was sent inside.
The slave pointed in the direction of the core area. That area was very sensitive and slaves like them were usually forbidden to talk about it, so he did not want to name it.
