Roman Slave Owner

At this moment, hundreds of civilians armed with weapons and wearing armor walked over from the city, and they quickly walked towards the gate.

"Who are you?"

A guard hurriedly stopped them and asked.

"Gaius, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, they are my friends."

At this time one of his officers said.

The guard gave him a surprised look. The city gate is a defensive place, so how can anyone approach it casually.

But soon he was taken aback. He found that he didn't know when he was surrounded by a group of guards, all of them holding sword hilts and looking at him maliciously.

"You...you..."

The guard said with a shocked look.

"Do what you should do."

The officer said to the civilians.

A civilian in the lead nodded, and then passed them to open the city gate.

Seeing this, Cicero couldn't help being shocked, and said loudly, "What are you going to do?"

The civilians glanced at Cicero coldly, and did not stop their movements.

"What are you doing? Stop them soon!"

Cicero said angrily to the guards around the city gate, and then quickly walked down from the top of the city.

Some of the guards' eyes twitched, hesitating to do it.

"Everyone, I hope you'd better not make any moves. We have been comrades-in-arms for many years, otherwise don't blame me for being polite."

Said the officer.

As his voice fell, a large number of guards drew out their short swords, and then guarded in front of the civilians.

The civilians also drew their short swords and looked at the guards with disdain.

Seeing this, the other guards looked at each other, what should they do?

"You...you..."

Cicero flushed with anger, but he didn't expect these guards to betray directly.

Only then did he understand what Geeta said that day, there are too many hidden enemies here, even if they are recruited, they may not be the enemy's opponent.

Amidst the sound of clicks, the gates of Rome slowly opened.

Katilin rode a tall horse and walked in first. He was the first to see Cicero with a guard of honor.

A triumphant smile appeared on Katilin's face: "Isn't this our consul Cicero? I didn't expect that we would meet in this situation."

"Katilin, do you know what you are doing? You are rebelling!"

Cicero said angrily.

Katilin ignored him. He glanced around and found that there was no veteran.

This made his face gloomy immediately, what are those people doing? Why is no one to greet you.

"No! You are wrong! I just acted by the gods! The gods told me that I am the ruler of Rome. I should be the lifelong dictator of Rome like Sura, so I came, and the gods immediately It must be realized."

Katilin said.

"Now if you are lost and know how to return, lead your troops out of Rome, I will guarantee you nothing."

Cicero said.

"It's late! It's too late! Do you think you and I can do this? Why do you think I can form four legions by myself? Why do you think they will help me open the gates of Rome?"

Katilin said with a big smile.

"General Katilin, please be careful."

The guard officer's expression changed, and he said quickly.

Katilin gave the officer a cold look, and the officer glared back at him unceremoniously.

"Forget it, for your sake of offering the city gate, I won't care about you, but next time you have to pay attention to the tone of your speech."

Katilin suppressed his anger and said, "Take him to the dungeon."

"What crime did I commit, do you want to do this to me?"

Cicero said in horror.

"As the chief priest of Rome, he actually took refuge in the holy religion. This is a blasphemy against the gods. This is a capital crime. Take him down."

Katilin said with a sneer.

Soon soldiers stepped forward to take Katilin down, and his guards did not resist, because they knew that resistance was definitely a dead end.

"Manlius, you take someone to seal up the treasury. You must not steal money from the treasury in a mess."

"Yes, Archon."

"Longinus, follow me to the Hostilla Hall. I want to hold a meeting of the Senate."

"Yes, Archon."

A steady stream of troops entered the city of Rome, and the Roman citizens were extremely frightened. They seemed to have seen the recurrence of entering the city as Sula.

Katilin's face showed a cheerful smile, and his dream was finally coming true.

But after a few hours, his smile disappeared quickly.

In the Hostilla Hall, Katilin sat alone on an ivory chair.

He has sent people to find those elders, but only a few dozen veterans came, and all the remaining elders seem to have disappeared.

What do those his supporters mean? Just let yourself play here alone?

Katilin's eyes flashed with cold light from time to time.

After a long time, Menmuse appeared here, his face didn't seem to be pretty.

"Men Muse, where are the veterans who supported me? Where are they?"

Those people looked at Menmuse one after another, Menmuse's face was embarrassed, and some things should not be said in front of such a diverse group.

"We can talk about this in private."

Menmuse said.

Then he walked to an empty corner, Katilin took a look, and finally followed.

"In fact, this incident was beyond my expectation. Although they have disappeared, their guaranteed support will never change. They will support you with large sums of money, manpower and material resources."

Menmuse said.

Katilin looked at him coldly, don't they think they are a fool? Isn't it just trying to separate myself from this matter, so that I can leave a retreat in case I lose.

Menmuse's face did not change at all, but he looked at Cattilin lightly.

"You disappointed me."

Katilin said.

"Please trust their sincerity. Now you can do what you want. Whether it's conscripting soldiers, attacking Shengjiao, or going south to attack Dragon City, we support you. I suggest that you don't enlist the followers of Shengjiao, and you are the most It’s good to attack Longcheng as soon as possible, maybe they have mobilized Li Wei’s tenants now."

Menmuse said.

"I understand, but I want to become a dictator for life first! It's a pity that there is no one in the Senate!"

Katilin said.

"You can choose some people from the army to enter the Senate. That's how Sura did it back then."

"Of course I will."

The news of Cattilin’s occupation of Rome was like a nuclear bomb, which caused a huge response in Rome.

Soon Katilin recruited a large number of senators into the Senate, and then the Senate announced the appointment of Katilin as a life-long dictator.

This shocked many people. Another life-long dictator in Rome finally came into being, and then Katilin began to recruit troops.

After learning this news, although Longcheng did not make any statement.

But his actions were not slow at all. Not only did he send letters of help to Li Wei's allies, but also mobilized a large number of tenant farmers and civilians to join the army, and the whole of Rome became turbulent again.

Inside a dungeon, the sun shines on Cicero's sad face through the skylight.

Unexpectedly, the Roman consul, who was still aloft a few days ago, has now become a prisoner. There is no more miserable life than this, and I don't know how Cattilin will deal with him.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from outside.

Cicero looked out and found a man with a hood walking towards this side under the leadership of the guard.

The guard opened the gate, and then the man with the hood walked in.

"It turned out to be you? Menmuse."

After seeing the man's face clearly, Cicero said with a shocked expression on his face.

"Surprised, dear Cicero."

A friendly smile appeared on Menmuse's face, looking like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

"What are you doing here?"

Cicero said with a grimace.

The relationship between Menmuse and them has always been poor, not to mention that he may have played an ambiguous role in this coup.

"Of course I am here to save you."

Menmuse laughed.

Cicero looked at him in surprise. Could the sun come out from the west? He wanted to save himself?

"I know you are suspicious of me, and I assure you that I am innocent. There are indeed conflicts between us, but I firmly oppose any military coup. The reason why I stayed here is to work hard to resolve this dispute. More blood."

Menmuse said sincerely.

Cicero looked at him suspiciously, he really couldn't believe Menmuse.

But now he was saving himself, he decided to hold him still.

"Really, this is really great. I don't know what you plan to..."

Cicero said.

"Just rest assured, I have bought the guards here. Even your guards have been saved by me, as long as you don't forget my kindness."

Menmuse said with a smile.

Cicero couldn't help but curl his lips. During his time in jail, the nobles often showed their favor through the guards, and they secretly gave a lot of luxury.

In addition to being unable to gain freedom, his life is actually good.

As for their purpose, he certainly knew it too, didn't he just want to say a few words in front of Li Wei so as to leave a way out for himself.

"Shall we go now?"

"Leave now, you come with me."

Menmuse said with a smile.

Then he took Cicero and left here, and the guards were indifferent to his departure along the way, as if they were transparent people.

This made Cicero secretly deceive, and the power of these nobles really should not be underestimated.

After leaving the prison, Menmus took him out of Rome. The carriage and a large number of horses were already prepared outside, and his guards were also here, but their expressions were a little wilting.

"You go now, please tell Mrs. Emilia, I will try my best to prevent Cattilin from destroying Rome."

Menmuse said sincerely.

"I will, thank you for your life-saving grace, I will never forget your kindness."

Cicero also said.

Menmuse nodded in satisfaction, then watched Cicero leave.

In the city of Rome, Cattilin was drinking with his two best friends, Manlius and Longinus.

After becoming a dictator for life, Katilin was also very generous to his friends. Manlius was appointed by him as a cavalry commander, which is the most important official position after the dictator.

Longinus not only became the chief senator of the Senate, but was also responsible for the defense of the entire city of Rome.

He doesn't trust those nobles, he hopes to capture all power into his own hands.

"Katilin, why don't you seal up Li Wei and his veteran's property. Now their people are selling their own property frantically. Every time they sell an property, they will have many more soldiers."

Manlius said.

"Manlius, tell me, why should we be right with Levi?"

Katilin said.

"Have you forgotten that he sent someone to assassinate you?"

Manlius said with a shocked look that everyone in Rome knew the contradiction between Cattilin and Levy.

"They did send someone to assassinate me once, but they didn't do it a few times later. This is what their people told me."

Katilin said sarcastically.

"It's impossible, don't you believe them?"

Longinus looked incredible.

"Who knows this?"

Katilin said with a faint look, and to be honest, he couldn't believe the two friends in front of him.

Those nobles have great magical powers, who knows if they have any deal.

"Katilin, don't be stupid. Once Li Wei comes back, do you think he will let you go? Then you will die without a place to bury you."

Manlius said, "Now you just offend Li Wei. Once you do this, then you offend Li Wei and all the nobles, and you are really dead."

"I know."

Katilin said that in fact, he had secretly sent someone to negotiate with Emilia and the others. If they agreed to their terms, then he really didn't mind keeping peace with Li Wei.

"Also, Li Wei is the protector of many countries and nations. From Africa to Numidia to Gaul, from German to Eastern countries, Li Wei’s people are everywhere. If nothing else, Dragon City’s help The letter is already on the way. Once they organize reinforcements to log in to Rome, then we will be defeated. Time is life, and a day cannot be delayed. We must defeat Dragon City as soon as possible, and then integrate the power of the entire Rome. Only in this way can there be a ray of life. "

Manlius persuaded with all his heart.

"I see, you don't have to say any more."

Katilin shook his head and said.

Seeing Katilin's rejection all the time, Manlius and Longinus were also very helpless.

At this time the atmosphere became a little dull, and the three of them started drinking again.

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic.

"Report to the dictator. Just now when our conscripts outside of Rome came back, they encountered a group of cavalry and found that their behavior was suspicious. Under investigation, they turned out to be Cicero and his men."

"What are you talking about? Cicero ran away? This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Katilin was taken aback.

Cicero is his number one felon, how could he go outside Rome?

"Call the conscripts over~www.novelmt.com~ Manlius said.

Soon several soldiers walked in with a prisoner. Katilin asked in detail what happened, and then interrogated the prisoner. Katilin's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

"Send someone to bring Cicero to me."

Katilin said.

"Yes."

The guards quickly left here with Katilin's warrant, but after a long time, they returned news that Cicero was missing.

This made Katilin really furious.

"Men Muse! What a good thing you did!"

Katilin's eyes flashed a dazzling cold light, "In this case, don't blame me for being impolite."
