Chapter 112: The Aggrieved Caesar
Dressed in a magnificent robe and wearing a crown, Cosmos slowly walked a few meters in front of Maximus with a look of pride on his face, and said: "You have contributed a wonderful gladiatorial fight, warriors! ”。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Quintas?" Looking at the man who was following Commodus, Ji Mo squinted, he hadn't forgotten the threat of Quintas, and the pain in his chest.
Commodus focused his gaze on Maximus and asked curiously, "Well done, gladiator, by the way, they call you Spaniard?" What's your name? Why not take off your helmet and identify yourself!? ”。
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Ji Mo's eyes, his body tensed, and he was ready to attack and kill the other party.
If you take off your helmet, you're exposing your face, and that's what happens next......
"My name is Gladiator!" Maximus snorted coldly and turned around.
Commodus's face instantly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Slave, you are so bold that you dare to turn your back on me!" I command you, take off your helmet! ”。
The slave will turn his back to Caesar, which is disrespectful to the other party.
Maximus took a deep breath and took off the result of his helmet, he clearly knew that it was definitely a dagger! So he looked at the end of the season, and a look of apology appeared in his eyes.
Ji Mo shook his head slightly without thinking, and the internal force slowly worked.
Maximus took off his helmet and turned indifferently, a resolute face that Commodus had forgotten and hated appeared in his eyes.
Then, in Commodus's frightened expression, word by word, he said loudly: "My name is Maximus, Desius, Meridus!" The commander of the Northern Army, the general of Felix's legion, the courtier of Caesarmarcus and Aurelius, the murder of his son, the murder of his wife, I will avenge them in this life and in the next! ”。
The firm words made people not doubt his determination in the slightest, and the monstrous hatred seemed to strangle Commodus's neck, making his face turn pale in an instant.
Commodus's lips trembled with fear, Maximus' presence was not only a stain on him, but also a threat to him, as long as Maximus existed, then as long as he raised his arms and shouted, he could get the command of his own legion, and then pull him down from the king he had assumed to ascend by any means!
Quintas had a gloomy face, although he already knew that Maximus was not dead when the soldiers did not return, but according to his guess, the other party should have fled, but what he didn't expect was that the other party appeared in front of him in such a scene.
"Guards!" Quintas let out a soft snort, and the weapons of the Praetorian Guards surrounding the gladiator were unsheathed.
Ji Mo squinted, ready to take out Mo Li at any time.
Seeing this scene, the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene began to scold noisily, Maximus's loud words were listened to by them, and they who regarded Maximus as a hero because of the victory in the gladiatorial battle, and they represented their hearts one by one. From chaotic to neat, the shouts of several people converged into a few people, appearing in the sky above the gladiatorial arena, slowly resounding throughout the city of Rome.
"Live! Live! Live! ”
The voices of tens of thousands of people shook the sky, like the will of the gods, and they beat on Commodus's heart, making his face even paler.
He could have ordered the guards to kill Maximus on the spot, but if he did so, against the will of the people, then the prestige he had gathered for holding gladiatorial competitions and his previous efforts would be in vain! You must know that his reputation was already a disrepute, and in the eyes of the Romans, he was not a suitable heir, and to do so now would only prove that he was more brutal and put the people on the side of the Senate completely.
But why would he do it? Now the other party is just a slave, and if he wants to kill the other party, why do it now?
Thinking of this, Commodus even if he was unwilling, but like eating a fly, he raised his thumb upwards in the roar of the audience.
Here, the thumb up represents life, and downward, it represents death!
"Oh!" The audience instantly boiled, and Maximus' name rang out over the arena.
At this moment, Maximus became the absolute protagonist of the dueling arena!
In contrast, Commodus' gloomy face and gloomy eyes were slender.
Watching Commodus leave with the Praetorian Guard, he breathed a long sigh of relief at the end of the season, he didn't expect that in Rome at this time, these audiences actually had so much power.
However, this is a good thing, at least the danger has passed at this time, and as for what will happen to Commodus after this, it is only a matter of seeing the move.
Under the shouts of tens of thousands of people, Maximus slowly departed with the gladiators like a general who had won a battle.
At this point, he no longer seems to be a slave, an uncrowned king more like Caesar than Commodus.
……
In the dim, cell-like room, the flickering flames brought a glimmer of light to the room, making it possible to barely see what was in the room.
Ji Mo pillowed his arm, lay on a bed that was no different from a wooden plank, and said to Maximus, who was sitting on the other bed: "You said that tonight, will we come as guests?" ”。
"For example......" Maximus raised an eyebrow.
"Like, the restless senators, like the people of Commodus, or someone else......"
"Absolutely!" Maximus said firmly.
At this moment, two guards came over, opened the locked door, and said to Maximus: "You come out!" ”。
Maximus glanced at the end of the season and grinned, meaning, look, isn't this coming!
A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the end of the season, and when Maximus got up, he stood up and whispered in Maximus's ear: "Something, call my name, I will rush out!" ”。
"Rush out?" Maximus glanced at the iron gate, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, nodded, and said, "Got it!" ”。
As the iron door closed, at the end of the season, in the operation of the internal force, the ears moved, and they listened attentively.
A few minutes later, the end of the season breathed a sigh of relief as Maximus' footsteps reappeared.
Ten seconds later, Maximus was brought in by the guards again, and at the end of the season asked curiously, "How is it?" Who is it? ”。
"Lucia!" Maximus answered and collapsed on his bed.
"Oh?" The end of the season was even more curious, with a thoughtful look, looking at Maximus's constantly flashing eyes, and asked, "What is she for?" You, or Commodus, or whatever? ”。
"She wants me to rebel against Commodus and take Rome back from him!" As he spoke, Maximus sat up suddenly, lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Haha, ridiculous, what can I do as a slave?" ”。
"Why would she do that?"
"It's a dangerous position for her son to be made heir by Commodus, and besides, Commodus's affection for her, you know, is beyond that of her sibling......"
"Huh!" At the end of the season, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, speechless, this guy not only killed his father, but also loved his sister......
