Rome Must Fall
Chapter 7 Temple of Flora
"I recognize you, the Spartan warrior of Thrace, the legend of the arena! And you, the lion from Gaul! Do you think that I am an admirer of both of you, and I often defend you two in the arena? For the sake of cheering, please let me go, my family still has to rely on me to support me! ..." The coachman begged again.
Cross was a little moved by what he said, but Spartacus said calmly: "Tie him up and take him away together."
Cross was a little surprised: "Spartacus, why do you have to make it so troublesome? Didn't we always leave things behind and let people get out of here?"
Spartacus's eyes flashed and he whispered: "If the Capua people didn't know that we had hijacked the carriage transporting gladiator weapons and equipment, they would have thought that most of us were using our bare hands as their garrison. When they come to chase us unsuspectingly..."
Cross's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips with his scarlet tongue: "It seems we don't have to run away in a hurry, let's fuck him hard first!"
At this time, Maximus emerged from the carport: "Spartacus, there are a total of 60 daggers, 15 long swords, 15 spears, 40 square shields, 40 original shields, and helmets in the car. 90 pieces, 90 pairs of greaves, and 5 fishing nets..."
"There's a lot of stuff!" Cross was so excited that he forgot to show his shame towards Maximus.
Spartacus was a little surprised: he knew that Maximus could read and hyphenate, but what he didn't know was that this young man was also very good at arithmetic and could so quickly store all the supplies in the carport. Count it up. It should be noted that these gladiators who are either from Thrace or Gaul are almost all illiterate. Most of them can only count on their fingers to do arithmetic within ten. Only Hamilcar can be relied on, but it is far from Mark. Sims calculate so fast.
Spartacus took a deep look at Maximus and asked, "How far is the temple you mentioned before?"
Maximus immediately stood up from the carport, looked around, compared it with the memory of the original owner, and said uncertainly: "It should be...not that far away, no more than five miles."
"Take us there and we'll rest there tonight."

Maximus now regretted bringing the gladiators to the Temple of Flora. Some of them actually committed violence against several priestesses in the temple, one of whom was an old man, in order to vent their desires and hatred of Rome. Human resentment. The shrill screams of the priestesses in the crowd were like whips, lashing Maximus' guilty heart. He wanted to escape from the main hall of the temple, which made him extremely uncomfortable, but he was stopped by a gladiator.
"Maximus, Cross said, you can't leave at will, go back and sleep." The man folded his arms and said coldly.
From the memory of the original owner, Maximus found the name of this person, Torquevaldo, a Gauls, a veteran in gladiators, and a fan of Cross.
You fucking people are doing these things, and you still want me to sleep! ...Maximus suppressed the urge to curse, and his tone became tougher: "I'm going to see Spartacus. I have something important to tell him. It's a matter of life and death for our brothers! Don't let me I’ll go see him, okay, if anything happens tomorrow, you’ll be responsible!”
Torquevaldo was startled by him: "You want to see Spartacus?"
"right!"
"What is it?"
Maximus ignored him and turned around and walked back.
"Wait!" Torquevaldo stepped out of the door and warned: "You can only go to see Spartacus, not wander around!"
Maximus ignored him and went straight out of the palace door.
Torquevaldo followed closely behind, escorting him around to the apse like a prisoner.
The ajar door was filled with light. Maximus pushed the door open and walked in. The eyes of Spartacus and others who were discussing matters inside immediately focused on him.
Maximus swallowed and pretended to be shocked and said: "Spartacus, please stop those brothers who are violating the priestess. They are blaspheming and will be cursed and punished!"
"That's the god of the Romans. He can't punish us Gauls. The brothers have suffered so much from the Romans, so they can vent their anger on Roman women." Cross didn't care at all, but sarcastically said to Maximus: " But you are so devoted to those Roman women, you are worthy of being a child raised by the Romans, no wonder you are a traitor!”
Maximus ignored Cross. He looked at Spartacus and said solemnly: "They are not ordinary Roman women, they are respected priestesses. What we do... will only Arousing the anger of the Romans, not only the Roman nobles, but also the Roman civilians will show hostility to us! At that time, there will be Romans everywhere in this land of Italy against us, and we will be unable to move! "
"We were originally going to fight against the Romans. If anyone dares to stop us, we will kill them. Anyway, it's either us or them who die. It's no big deal." Enoma Yi said angrily, as if she didn't care about life and death, only life and death. The look of asking for a big fuss.
Enomai is a Germanic man with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and an unusually tall and burly figure, like an iron tower. He is the most powerful among the gladiators, but his sword fighting skills are weaker than those of Spartacus and Cross. But in the arena of Capua, he already has a fierce reputation.
"The Roman commoners were different from the Roman aristocrats, especially the Roman poor who lived on the streets and could only live on free bread. They lost their land, owed a large amount of debt, and their living conditions were not much different from ours. They hated the Roman aristocrats. Even better than us, it is entirely possible for them to join us and fight against the Roman army, because only in this way can they regain what they want..." Maximus explained seriously.
In his previous life, he did not study history, but was a freelancer who liked to take on jobs at home, write creative works and graphic design, and be a homebody at the same time. Playing games is his biggest hobby, followed by watching movies and TV series online. He lives a lazy life, but is very serious about what he does. Especially when watching historical and biographical movies or playing war strategy games, he always likes to understand the historical background, weapons and equipment, etc. first, so that he can feel more involved. . There are many movies and TV shows about Spartacus. Although there are only a few real historical records, Maximus had a detailed understanding of the historical background at that time.
"Nonsense!" Cross rebuked loudly. He felt that this was just a reason made up by Maximus to help the priestesses.
But Spartacus was greatly shocked when he heard this. He strode up to Maximus and asked eagerly: "Is everything you said true? Will the poor people of Rome help us fight the Romans?! "
Spartacus's extremely excited expression stunned Maximus: Do you not know about this? This is what you did in history, so the rebel army you led grew larger and larger like a snowball, and eventually became a serious problem for Rome!
But then Maximus realized that the ancient hero standing in front of him grew up in a remote Thracian tribe, and later joined the Roman army to fight in Asia Minor. He was captured as a deserter, and was eventually transported to Italy as a As a gladiator, Spartacus, who was trapped in a gladiator school, could not have a deep understanding of Roman society, let alone have the foresight of a wise warrior. All he did was just follow the trend of history...
Thinking of this, Maximus immediately realized another problem: Compared with these gladiators, his martial prowess was not outstanding, he did not know how to lead troops in battle, he did not know how to herd and farm, and he did not know how to buy and sell goods. What is above everyone is the knowledge that far exceeds that of others. The knowledge that can understand the present and predict the future should allow you to gain a firm foothold in this group and have enough voice!
