"Of course, everyone knows that the Emily family is the descendant of King Numa. Let me ask you where this thing comes from."

"It's a relic of a Roman knight named Boris who immigrated to Rhode Island. I got it after some misunderstandings. I hope you have time to transfer it to someone in the Emily family, so that it can be returned to its original owner."

“How did Boris himself die?”

Calabis gave Lisilia a strange look. He tied the rivets and buckles on the edge of the helmet with a belt, put it on his head, and confessed, "He was killed by Mithridates' army, and His wife and son." Then he stood upright, extended his hand to the virgin chief priest and saluted, then turned and left.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed all the time.

Calabis walked out of the temple and walked out of the shade of the trees. Poti and Paluma held hands, "Forgive me, I may have delayed the happy time of seeing little Leo's birth." He kissed his wife's The back of the hand, speaking of.

"You are now a citizen of Etrunia and have a bright future. The little lion is a very strong guy. Maybe when you come back from the expedition, you won't be strong enough to lift him over your head." Potty also said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me? Can I still call the child the father?" Karabis slowly let go of Potty's hand, and then kissed Paluma, "Take care of your adoptive mother."

"Will you snatch back the stolen eagle flag? Father, will you become a fighting hero in Rome?" Paluma raised his head and asked.

"I just want to be your and Boddy's hero."

Then, Karabis stretched out his hands and hugged and kissed each other the wives and daughters of Milu, Pop, Tagus and others, as well as the mother and daughter Fan Lundina, "I'm sorry, in the next few months, I will pay to hire prostitutes to enter your husband's camp, I will, otherwise they will keep complaining." This caused bursts of laughter.

"I must remind you that the time set by Cicero is almost here." Milu, a senior centurion in full military uniform and wearing a feathered Corinthian helmet, held a sword in one hand and pointed to the sundial at the street corner with the other. , speaking of.

About an hour later, in front of the notorious Momontan Prison, all the recruits stood in front of the prison gate according to their centurions. The surrounding walls and arcade roofs were filled with Roman people. .

After the iron fence of the arched cave was opened by several soldiers, Cicero, wearing a purple-edged robe, walked out slowly accompanied by Neruda, Claudius and a group of subordinates with beams, and then looked around at all the recruits. and the people, saying: "If you want to ask me what is happening to Lian Tulus and the other five people now, whether they are alive or dead. I can only answer you - they once lived in this world, and lived to the end, And they will never take up daggers or torches to endanger the safety of the city of Romulus."

"Live to the end" was a term that Cicero avoided. He tried not to use the word "execution" to people who were hanged.

The whole scene was silent for a while, and a male citizen sitting on the roof suddenly raised his fist and cheered: "Cicero, the savior of Rome, he is the father of the country, the father of the country!" Infected by this emotion, no matter whether they are soldiers, The people all believed that it was Cicero who saved them and the Republic from the edge of the abyss of conspiracy and catastrophe. Soon the shouts of "Father of the Founding" shook the area for several miles around, and many citizens waved their hands. Writing a copy of Cicero's "Against Catiline", tears filled their eyes and they embraced each other.

In the second row of the "Humblr" recruits, in a certain centurion, Karabis's eyes, hidden under the brim of his helmet, squinted coldly around him and whispered.

Cicero struck while the iron was hot: "But Catiline and his followers are still doing evil in Etrunia, threatening Rome at all times. Think about it, our territory extends from one end of the world to the other, and the sun stretches from our The country rises and falls on the other side of the country. Now there are still a group of people with evil intentions who want to bargain with Rome. The only answer I can give them is Roman sword fighting. Let the weapons talk to them! " Then he pointed his hand towards the new recruits, "And you, the soldiers and children of the Republic, according to hundreds of years of tradition, the Senate should award you the glorious symbol-the eagle flag before setting off, but this time it is not there. , It’s not that I don’t want to increase your glory, but the eagle flag that Marius used to annihilate the Cimbri was stolen by the despicable Catiline. Go to Etrunia, step on the corpses of the rebels, and then attack They said - you are the one who regrets! Let them all turn into corpses, because there are too many bad guys in the prison of Rome. Then take back the eagle flag and put it back in the Temple of Mars with dignity. "

Being so inspired, the emotions of the recruits and the people soon reached a fever pitch, chanting slogans of fighting to Etrunia and crushing the city of Fesule. At this time, a noble lady and two noble young men suddenly walked out of the crowd. Among them, the noble lady howled, knelt at Cicero's feet, and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Your Excellency, consul, I am a dead prisoner." Widow of Syracuse Cornelius Lentulus, I beg you to carry forward the virtues of a nobleman and grant my request. Do not let my dead husband be condemned and buried in the square, but let me and my son, Mark Antony, be free. , can give him a decent funeral.”

Cicero helped him up indifferently, "Julia, oh, Julia, a noble and virtuous woman, I am not targeting your husband per se, but his crimes - you must know that he is The moment he was put on the prison uniform, he even said that according to the prophecy of the Sibyl, there would be a third king named Cornelius in Rome - Oh my god, Jupiter, the word king came from a Roman's mouth It was such a heinous crime that he must be buried in the main square to serve as a warning to others.”

Suddenly, Claudius next to Cicero drew his sword, and the flames intertwined, blocking the stabbing of Cicero by a tall young man next to the noble lady. Claudius shouted: "This behavior is not good, horse!" But Antony!" There was a commotion, and the soldiers who were lectured by Cicero also drew their fighting swords, waiting for the order of the one who was stabbed.

"Hasn't this country bumpkin from Alpino, a resident of Rome, done enough harm to a nobleman like my stepfather? Not only did he take his life by hanging, but he also insulted his body, Cicero, I Cut off your tongue with a sword and hang it in the great square," shouted the tall Antony, Julia's son, who accompanied him. The thin young man grabbed his waist and quickly handed over his dagger, "Marco, what you need now is to calm down."

Claudius seized the opportunity, stepped forward and used the hilt of his sword to push Anthony away from a safe distance, and then said to the thin young man: "Thank you for stopping Marco, Curio, you are worthy of being this reckless guy's best friend." A good friend and his brain.”

Antony, who was controlled by Claudius and Curio, still couldn't calm down. With a sad tone, his strong aquiline nose was squeezed, and red oozed from his thick neck, he shouted, "Sir!" Cerro, the greatest orator and consul of Rome, your greatest achievement during your year in office is that you gained my hatred for you. One day you will understand!"
