"One day, when someone was cleaning a stinking ditch, he drove away a snake and a copper sleepy hazel rat. They are the patron saints of the city of Paris. Then Paris was burned down by fire. ∷∞,.."—— Gregory

"I am asking you to take off the head of this brave fighter and bury him properly." Lepidus stood under the monument, and then when he saw the soldiers of the Skylark Legion still hesitating, he shouted in the square , "If His Excellency Julius Caesar were still alive, would he allow such a thing to happen?"

As a result, many citizens voluntarily walked out of their mansions and gathered around Lepidus. They said, "We don't care who General Lepidus is, but what he said is reasonable and everyone must listen to it." Well, no one can reject the truth. Look how much your fighting has ruined the city of Rome. Is the army now trampling humanity and appeal under its military shoes just like in the days of Sulla and Marius? "

Everyone was talking about the Skylark Legion in a confused way. Finally, Lepidus waved his hand and Alp raised the long pole and picked off the head of Amatius who was on display on the stone tablet. Several slaves held it. The heads of the father and son were carefully wrapped in purple silk and placed in a small coffin. "They were buried next to the crematorium. After all, he claimed to be the grandson of Marius. Regardless of the authenticity, he did it for Caesar after all." He died unjustly." Lepida lamented, and then many citizens who volunteered joined the procession of burying the memorial.

Then Lepidus led the Medjet Guards. Went to the foot of Capitol Hill. Saw the Temple of Jupiter protruding from the high rock. The bodies that were pushed down and fell to death said to Alp, "Mobilize the good citizens to bury these poor people, and also take down the bodies of the slaves who were crucified. They were buried with stones and wood from the ruins of the barricades in the estate belonging to Julius on the Tiber."

Then, Lepidus raised his head and saw the red flag erected on the mountain. Several senators and heralds were looking at him and the guards. He shouted loudly and said, "Why are you hiding in the sacred forest? Why are you hiding in the sacred forest?" In the temple, why do you avoid visiting your concerned relatives? This is the behavior of those who commit crimes or let down the people. Do you keep saying that the city of Rome is built on the welfare of the public? Then look at what the city looked like after you killed the dictator Julius in this name! All institutions and relief stopped, the citizens turned into mobs, and the army trampled them. In the streets, the frontiers are filled with the danger of invasion, the governors and envoys of the provinces are in panic, more and more people are enlisted in the army, and the danger of civil war is imminent. Now you actually instigate Antony to kill the demonstrators at will. Their corpses were scattered on the hills and streets. Laws and sentences were changed day by day. The guilty were pardoned and the guilty were killed. The standard of order was completely lost. You don’t know if you heard what I’m saying. Look at the people’s aggrievedness. Be angry, if you still have eyes, the Roman ship is now riddled with holes, sailing in stormy waves with thunder and lightning, everyone is dismantling its decks and parts, reveling in carnival before sinking. Tomorrow, the pilot who drives it will be blind, the helmsman will be disabled, and the captain will be deaf. Even the serene-faced Poseidon Neptune will be angered by your arrogance and stupidity, and his trident will blow up a bloody hurricane. Maybe there are no reassuring predictions about the future in Sibyl's prophecy, so what are you doing!"

Just as Lepidus was shouting in a loud voice and furious at the foot of the Capitol Hill, the herald had already rushed into the temple hall and reported the news to the elders present, "Who gave him the courage to bark like this? Case has been killed. This foreign cavalry commander has become a dog with a broken spine. Do you really think that the glory given to him by the Republic is not worth mentioning? I have already said that a bastard like Lepidus can only be brought with him. He only needs to serve as a cavalry captain in the alliance army. His existence itself is a footnote to Caesar's misrule. I have never seen such a shameless person." Casca cursed loudly, but he still didn't say enough.

But when many senators heard that Lepidus led his guards to publicly collect the bodies of those executed by the Senate, Spinzer was furious. He shouted directly, "That guy Decimus, his sword-fighting slave just used Ornaments made of wax? Could it be that thousands of sword-fighting slaves couldn't defeat the dark-skinned pariah guard next to the foreigner?" After saying that, Spinzel asked the herald to call Deximos to suppress him. "If necessary, beat Le Bida to death in the street, or just push him off the high rock and execute him publicly."

Only Brutus was still hesitating. He strongly advocated waiting for Lepidus to finish scolding and leaving on his own. The previous action to suppress Amatius had already involved the reputation of the Senate. What we need now is caution. .

But no one paid any attention to him.

After a while, the herald ran over in a panic, sweating profusely, "Deximos is not on the holy mountain, and the iron fence he originally laid at the foot of the mountain has been removed, and thousands of sword fighting slaves are missing. They are all like The mercury disappeared like that!"

Casca was so frightened that he almost fell down and the chair beneath him collapsed!

The other senators were also screaming and hiding everywhere, as if the end of the world was coming. People were trampling and wiping their feet in the entire temple. Only Spinzel was still furious. He raised his sleeves and pretended to be loud at the herald. Shouting, "Don't spread news that you don't know to be true or false. Who can really tell the people here where Deximos is?"

"He sent several sword fighting slaves to report the news, saying that according to Caesar's arrangements during his lifetime, he should have been the governor of Shannan Gaul. Now he has taken his private army to the province to take over the army. I hope that the senator The court can give him recognition, otherwise, he will sit in the city of Mutina and watch the Holy Mountain be captured by thugs and Caesar's party, which may be much more exciting than watching a long Greek opera. "

"You bastard..." Spinzer was filled with anger. Just as he was about to explode, another herald came up and said with a frustrated look - Lepidus led the group of dark-skinned guards, holding bows and arrows. He and Dao saw came up the mountain.

"Scared!" Now even Spinzel was hiding in the shadow of the colonnade, as nimble as a deer avoiding hunting. Then he stretched out his head and shouted to the chaotic people. , "Idiot,,, sent an envoy to stop him and tell him that all conditions are negotiable!"

With great difficulty, several priests carrying flags walked out from the porch of the Temple of Jupiter, acting as messengers. When they went out, they found that Lepidus had already stood in front of the altar opposite, and all the black warriors behind him Drawing his sword and raising his bow, the priest was so frightened that he faintly shouted to Lepidus, "The specially chosen father has appointed us as plenipotentiaries..."

"Call Brutus and Aetius, the praetorians, to come out and speak to me," said Lepidus. To be continued. . )
