Burying his fallen comrades, Selbas continued his army north, reaching the city of Mutina under the Southern Alps a few months later, where the Senate sent Governor Cancius with 20,000 troops to encircle the rebels again.

The training of the Selbas army is remarkable, and the edge of the battle is gradually revealed, and it is simply invincible.

People cheered and celebrated yet another victory.

In the camp of the Serbas, the main generals were present, and everyone once again disputed the direction of the advance, some advocated continuing to cross the Alps to get rid of Roman power, some did not want to stay far from their homeland and insisted to stay in Rome to continue to deal with the Roman army, and some swore to follow the leader Serbas to the death.

Although Chang'an did not have any position, he participated in such a meeting, on the one hand, out of awe and respect for the strong, and on the other hand, because of Serbas's importance for 'Maurice'.

Chang An sat in the corner, thinking deeply about his task.

Previous thinking: turn things around in the Selbas uprising, save from mistakes in several major battles, and even provide ships to cross the Strait of Messina when Selbas decided to advance into Sicily.

If you meet Cthulla's army again, you will definitely change the outcome of the total annihilation, or simply assassinate the main general Cthulla, who made the uprising completely unsuccessful.

However, even though it withstood countless encirclements and suppressions by the Roman army and won countless battles, the essence did not change.

What Selbas wanted was not a horse for the rest of his life, he led the slaves to revolt not because he loved war, but because he had to fight for freedom and peace.

So, shouldn't he settle for a new idea?

The argument continued, and Serbas quietly listened to the opinions and thoughts of the generals, and Morris in the corner was quiet all the time, not saying a word from beginning to end.

For some reason, Selbas suddenly wanted to hear what the young man with strange thinking had to say, "Maurice, do you have any thoughts on this?" “

At the meeting, the leader was named to speak, and Chang'an had to stand up, "The leader's decision is my idea!" “

"......" is probably like this for everyone, the leader wants a personal opinion, but he doesn't express his position.

"However, since the chief asks me what I think, I will say that I am not in favor of going to Gaul."

This is contrary to Selbas's assertion, but Selbas did not refute Chang'an's words, and has the intention of continuing to listen.

"Why should we go to Gaul? It was because it was a place that Roman power could not reach for the time being, but, mind you, it was 'temporary'! Rome's power was always expanding, and how many elite troops were still fighting overseas? How far are we going to be outside the Roman sphere of influence? ”

"Then if we stay, won't we always be surrounded and suppressed by the Roman army?"

"So, why do we keep on the run?"

"If you don't flee, do you have to sit still? The Senate will send troops to encircle us again! Until we are all wiped out! We have finally gained freedom, will we fight back to the original shape? ”

"That's a great question! First, we will not sit still; Second, we want more freedom than just the way we do it;

What we want is long-term freedom, and what we want is to completely change our destiny, which cannot be solved by winning a few battles, but we must completely solve this problem at the root.

Since the Senate has been sending troops against us, how about we overthrow it, destroy it, and re-establish our own Senate? ”

"Oh my God! Maurice, you're crazy! You know what you're talking about? That's the Senate! “

"Maurice! Your idea is crazy! ”

The uprising of the Serbas, only to seek freedom and liberate itself, never had more ideas and thinking, no purpose, no program, even the destination of the escape changed again and again, and failure seemed inevitable.

"Isn't it the best solution to break it and then stand it, not to break it, and to rebuild a country that can bring us freedom and peace? Once! ”

"Is that okay?"

'Why not?' Wang Hou will be the prime minister, would you rather have a kind? ’！ ”

One hundred and thirty-seven years ago, in the land of Daqin, China, a person named Chen Sheng stood in the rain of Daze Township and said this sentence.

"Selbas is our King, and he will lead us to a new kingdom in which all people will no longer be slaves, no longer bullied and oppressed, and all will live in peace. Don't you want this kind of life? ”

Who wouldn't want to have such a life? Now that we've come this far, why not go thoroughly? Everyone looked at Serbas with a blazing anticipation in their eyes.

The next day, the team did not continue north.

Serbas gave an important speech to the people in the city of Mutina, in which he advocated the abolition of slavery, the improvement of the treatment and status of the common people, and he would lead the people to build a free and peaceful country.

This is the result that everyone hopes for the most, after all, Rome is their homeland, since they can stay and rebuild their homeland, why not?

After Serbas's speech, the city of Mutina was cheered and resounded, and this day will be forever recorded in history, known as the Mutina Declaration.
