30. The Abbis Conspiracy (II)
"Come down, you beasts! You are not worthy to rule Rome! β
At the foot of the steps, the Roman civilians armed with sticks and stones were so emotional that they could not bear it, they clamored to step down from Bris, and some even rushed to the door of the Senate, trying to rush in and arrest the senators in gorgeous robes, however, Appis still tried to persuade the commoners to stabilize their emotions and stay calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Violence doesn't solve anything. In his heart, Apis was glad to see such a scene, but now, all he needed to do was add a little tar to the flames, and then he could hide far away and watch the enraged civilians rush in and take out the men of the Roman Senate and beat them up.
"Appis, you're almost ready."
In the midst of the chaos of the crowd, Sekras squeezed over to Appis and whispered.
"Let him come."
At the same time, Apis bowed his head to indicate that the show could begin.
Soon, in the crowd, a dark shadow continued to crowd towards the "weak" tribune, and the Assassin of Aletion, wrapped in a black cloak, under the supervision of two "companions", rushed to Appis, who was giving a speech in the crowd to stabilize the mood of the civilians......
"Oh my God! What's he doing? β
However, there was a slight accident in the assassination performance, and someone in the crowd noticed the anomaly in advance and shouted loudly. However, the exclamation did not stop the Assassin from completing his mission, and with the only hope of survival, he swung his dagger and flew towards Appis, who was standing in the crowd. The scene is realistic, and almost all the civilians present believe that it was a real assassination!
"Poof."
However, Appis was prepared for it, because the whole operation was planned and planned by him in advance. Crane threw a punch in the direction of the black-clad assassin. The massive fist slammed into the assassin's abdomen. Then, the black-clad assassin, who had been hit with a heavy punch, screamed and fell to the ground.
Crane then rode on the Assassin under the horrified gaze of the crowd, and in order to make the assassination look more realistic, Crane rode on the Assassin and then gave the black-clad assassin two punches, and the manic fist swung in the face, and the poor assassin immediately had gold stars in his eyes and a nosebleed. However, it is better to suffer a little flesh than to die directly, and the Assassin is still cooperating at this point, in fact, even if he does not cooperate with Appis, it is useless for him to explain anything after the operation begins. Angry civilians don't believe it, or don't want to believe it at all.
"Oh my God! It's an assassin! β
The civilians who saw the bloody scene exclaimed. Soon, the dramatic scene caught the attention of everyone in the square, and even though the people on the periphery did not know what was going on inside, word of mouth spread among the crowds, and soon the news of the assassination of Tribune Appis by the Assassins began to spread throughout the square.
At this time, the tribune who led the civilians to rebel against the Senate was assassinated by the Assassins, who instructed the Assassins to come? The results are already clear at a glance.
However, even after the events had developed so far, Appis still pretended not to know anything. Crane grabbed the Assassin from the ground and hung the dagger around his neck to slit the Assassin's throat, before Appis shouted to stop Crane's actions. Even though all this action was negotiated in advance, it seemed so real at the moment, as if it were really an accident. Appis is a victim, yes, does look like a victim......
"Citizens, civilians, don't get excited, don't panic, I'm fine, I'm not hurt. It was just an accident. Accidentally. However, we must not speculate, and we need to investigate who instructed the assassin to assassinate the Roman tribune. β
"Does this still need to be investigated? Tribune, he must have been sent by the old men of the Senate! β
In the crowd, someone began to shout in response. Soon, his response resonated with everyone, and by this time, the emotions of the civilian population had reached an almost uncontrollable level. They were about to rush up and snatch the black-clad assassin who had just assassinated Apis from Crane's hands, and beat him to death. And Appis spoke againβ
"Calm down, I beg you, leave this assassin to me, and I will use torture to extract a confession and ask the mastermind behind it! If he had been sent by the Senate, we would have overthrown this rotten temple. But if not, I wonder who else wants to kill me. β
Appis shouted loudly. His request seemed so justified that the civilian population quickly agreed. And everyone has now poured out all their anger on the white and luxurious temple of the Senate.
"Rush in, brothers, get this herd out! They don't deserve to rule Rome! β
The civilians began to rush frantically towards the gates of the Senate. Billys rushed into the main hall in a daze, and then the bronze door of the Senate was shut. The civilians were a step late and locked outside the bronze gates, however, this did not prevent them from "besieging the city".
Some of the stronger men began to move the giant logs in the freight yard, trying to act as makeshift rams. The entire square outside the Senate was a furious crowd. A great revolt that exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination suddenly went into a frenzy outside the Senate in Rome.
However, at this time, Pompey's elite guards also arrived from the hillside.
They numbered about a thousand, all armed with fine chain mail, ornate legionary shields, and armed with sharp Roman daggers, all of which, of course, were required to be sheathed at Pompey's behest. In the event of bloodshed in the square, the riot would be out of control, Pompey was well aware of this.
Pompey's guards came in the dust, and the trumpets could be heard far away. With clear coats of arms and well-trained soldiers lined up in neat formations, the civilians of Rome soon knew that this was another of Rome's great generals, Pompey, who at this time was not as tiresome as the Senate. Even many Roman civilians still maintained reverence and worship for Pompey, after all, it was the great Roman general who extended Rome's territory to the east, expanding the territory of Roman rule by almost one-third, and thus doubling the tax revenue of the Republic. In the eyes of the Romans, Pompey was a symbol of Roman glory, and if it were not for the rise of Caesar, Pompey would have been worshipped as the first person in the Roman Republic.
Seeing Pompey's guards coming, the crowd was overwhelmed, perhaps out of fear, and the mood of the civilians cooled down slightly. However, the anger against the Senate still made many people reluctant to retreat. They stood in the square and fought hard against the thousand legionnaires sent by Pompey.
Pompey's guards sealed off their shields, forming an impenetrable wall of shields, and pushed towards the crowd, and the soldiers held shields in both hands and struggled to push away the civilians who rushed up......
Apis on the side quietly watched such a chaotic scene, silently put away his luggage, and Seklas gave Apis a look, indicating that according to the previous arrangement, the carriage was already waiting outside the city...... One last glance at the rioting city of Rome, Apis couldn't help but sigh, three months ago, he had returned happily and wanted to see Octavia again, but now, until he left, he had not been able to see her again. Fate is so manipulative. And the next time, when I come to the foot of this great city again, I don't know what kind of scene will be in front of me? Civil war has inevitably broken out...... (To be continued.) )
