"Brothers, you shed blood, you fought, you fought for the Republic, and now, after eight years of bloody war, the whole of Gaul has been conquered by us!"

Caesar, the base camp of the Roman legions in Gaetta, arrived at the commander's podium after a feast of the crowd. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Here, tonight is a high platform specially set up for him, so that tonight, the whole legion, after enjoying the Gaul cuisine, can see their great legional commander.

As soon as Caesar ascended the high platform, the soldiers below began to cheer collectively. They are singing, praising their leaders, and even worshipping.

Caesar waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers and centurions in the audience to be quiet. He still has something to say—

"Rome, however, does not agree with our actions. In fact, they accuse us, accuse me, of illegally waging this war. ”

"Oh, no!"

Caesar's speech was full of energy and charm, he could easily make the people present indignant or enthusiastic, just like this pre-war speech, in fact, everyone present did not know what Caesar was going to talk about, only Apis knew that this was one of the greatest moments in Roman history, and Caesar would announce tonight that he would be an enemy of the Senate and the whole Republic. Appis waits......

When the soldiers heard Caesar's words, they were outraged by the insolence of the Senate, and Caesar went on to speak.

"Just two weeks ago, our tribune, Appis, with hope and supplication, made my request to the Senate that Rome would be kind to his soldiers, and to the warriors who shed their blood for the Republic. With piety and humility, the tribune Appis made a request to Rome, to the Senate, that I would continue to serve as consul, but the Senate refused. They feared, they feared that once I, Julius Gaius Caesar, became consul again, would give the lands that Rome had plundered in the war to his soldiers. So the nobles in the senate, dressed in white robes, objected to my re-appointment to any office in Rome. However, I promised you that after the end of the war, the soldiers of Rome would receive their own wealth and land. But now, the group of fathers of the Fatherland in the Senate, rejected my request, rejected the request of all of us! ”

"Nope! They can't do that! ”

Caesar's series of speeches ignited the emotions of the Roman soldiers in the audience. They began to curse the Senate and the nobles of Rome. Appis stood in the crowd, listening quietly, watching the raging crowd around him. It's easy to see why. Since Marius's reforms, the Roman soldiers joined the army more for the purpose of land and wealth, and now, they have fought the war for eight years, and when it is time to divide the spoils, the other party will not do it, and will not give, and the soldiers will of course scold the Senate to death, and they are eager to rush up with a hammer and get back what originally belonged to them. Caesar was so stirring, but it was also the most reasonable way.

The legionnaires in the audience began to scold, their emotions soaring, while Caesar continued to wave his hands and signal everyone to be quiet.

"Moreover, not only did they refuse our legitimate request, they also convicted me of being a war criminal on the spot. I was to surrender my military power and return to Rome alone, to be judged by them, by the Roman people. In fact, not only did they declare me a war criminal, they also declared that you are also a war criminal, and all of you are war criminals! ”

"Nope! Never! ”

In the autumn breeze of the night, the light on the torch flickered with restless restlessness, Caesar's every speech in the barracks would cause the restlessness of the entire legion, their emotions were so encouraged by Caesar's little by little, and the anger continued to rise, Apis stood in the crowd, quietly watching everything in front of him, Caesar was like an old blacksmith who was good at lighting fires, he knew how to fan the wind at the most opportune time, add materials, and turn a fire into a raging flame, just like this speech in front of him.

The soldiers were enraged by Caesar's instigation, and some even drew their daggers and vowed to return to Rome and seek justice from the Senate. And Caesar went on to say-

"The tribune Apis was in Rome arguing with the nobles of the Senate for more power and wealth, but at the height of the negotiations, Apis was assassinated by the Assassins! Fortunately, it was at this time that the long war had honed his physique, and the tribune Apis was able to survive and escape from Rome to inform us of the news. ”

"The brutes!"

The soldiers shouted, their emotions had been stirred to the extreme, when Caesar shouted the name of Appis—

"Centurion Appis is out."

With a serious and heavy expression, Appis stepped out of the crowd under the gaze of all the soldiers of the army. Then Caesar reads-

"Centurion Appis, you fought for the Roman legions, for our soldiers, you did a good job, and now, what the Roman Senate doesn't give you, I'll give you. That's five hundred dinars, and you deserve it. ”

Caesar said, pulling out a heavy bag of coins and throwing them into Appis's hand. At the same time, it also provoked the eyes of other soldiers around him. And at this time, Caesar knew that everything that had to be said was almost enough, and it was time for the final mobilization.

"Soldiers, we fought for Rome, however, all the facts show that the corrupt and greedy nobles of the Senate, they do not care about our life and death, they do not care about our rights, they only care about their own wealth, and they do not even want to give more to the valiant warriors of Rome, but expect us to protect them. Today, I, Julius Caesar, will disobey the orders of the Senate, and I will return with my sword to reclaim the glory and wealth that is rightfully ours! To change this decaying republic! Will you follow me? ”

In the end, Caesar finally said his ultimate purpose. And, the crowd boiled. After a series of speeches, this is no longer a pre-war speech, or even mind control, Caesar instilled the Roman soldiers with the greedy and insatiable demon image of the Senate and the aristocracy, and painted himself with the aura of a hero who saved and liberated Rome.

"Caesar!"

As soon as Caesar's words fell, the whole field was full of people, and the soldiers angrily drew their short swords and shouted Caesar's name. Just as Apis saw the scene in the commoners' square, everyone was hungry for revenge, eager to reclaim their rights...... Although they are actually only the blinded party, because what they know is often only a part of the truth...... Appis sighed. (To be continued.) )
