Chapter Seventy-Six: Bloodshed on the School Ground
When Gaio and Simon arrived at the scene of the incident, there was already a living hell near the Doge's Palace.
The drizzle could not suppress the flames rising in all directions. The dead lay on their backs, and the screams of the wounded mingled with the sound of burning and peeling.
A badly burned Roman soldier was pitch black, with only a patch of red visible from his closed mouth, struggling—perhaps twitching—to silently cry out for help to the two men.
Gaiyo had excellent eyesight, glanced at the injury, and shook his head. Simon pulled out his dagger, put his hand on the wounded soldier's forehead, whispered a prayer, and then cut his neck with a knife, ending his pain.
Gaio couldn't help but ask, "Who did this? Look at this, Grand Magi?"
Simon sneered: "Well done." ”
"Let's go, let's go find the teacher...... Teacher?"
Not far away, Krymus stood calmly in the rain, his shackles all open, and beside him, Tisero, the vice-governor of Rome, hugged his thighs and wept bitterly.
When Duck stormed the Doge's Palace, Tisero was torturing Clemos in the underground torture chamber, which would have been turned into a barbecue with Pilate because of its deep location. Still, it scared him away.
All contact with the outside world was cut off, and the flames were burning overhead, and the people in the torture chamber shouted in unison for rebellion, which frightened him so much that he peed and peed on his pants. In the end, he simply hugged Clemos's thigh and didn't let go.
Clemos performed a miracle to protect Ticero and the rest of the Roma soldiers. The Julias, who were locked in their cells, wanted Clemos to help them escape, but he refused. Then, Clemos went up to the ground with Tisero, the others.
Gaio stepped forward, pulled out a short knife, pressed Tisero's neck with a knife, and said to Clemos: "Teacher, with this guy in hand, let's leave Jerusalem quickly!"
Clemos said, "Where to go?"
"Of course, it's outside the Roma territory, let's regroup and ...... again"
"Keep bleeding?"
Gai was speechless for a moment.
"I thought it would be enough to sacrifice me," said Clemos, calmly gazing at the ruins and dead bodies around him, "Judas, it's really unexpected." ”
Gaio and Simon looked at each other: "Judas?"
"My iniquity has increased. I don't go, and I can't go. Go away. ”
Gaiyo wanted to say something, but Simon pushed him hard: "Listen to the teacher's arrangement, go quickly, go quickly!"
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and reinforcements from the Roman Army arrived.
Gaiyo gave him one last look at Crimus and left.
As soon as the two left, Tisero, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up, pointed at Clemos's nose and roared: "You Jurian villain, you commanded your men to kill many Roman soldiers, you ......"
Shoot through the air with one stone!
Sharp arrows flew past the scalp, opening a long blood groove in the head.
Ticero sat down in fright.
In the distance, Gaio spat hatefully on the ground, crying and fleeing with Simon into the darkness.
Judas, you idiot, since you have such ability, why don't you just save the teacher?
Now, all the accounts will be counted on the people of Julia, and all the sins will be borne by the teacher!
Judas, you damn bastard!
Tonight, Jerusalem is destined to sleepless.
Before dawn the next day, the Roma soldiers knocked on the door of the house and ordered all the residents, whether Romans or Julias, to immediately go to the Colonelum to attend the meeting.
Under the pressure of shining knives and guns, the mighty crowd gathered towards the large school field.
At the entrance of the school yard stands a huge white wooden sign with a line of huge black letters written on it: "The Romans are immortal".
On the other side, the bodies of the dead Roma soldiers were neatly laid out until they reached the corner of the wall, and the burned ones were filled with grass, and those that were burned to ashes and could not be found were simply topped with a pair of armor.
It's a wonderful irony.
But at this moment, no one dares to laugh.
In last night's incident, the Roma Legion died to say that there were two hundred people, and now it has entered a quasi-berserk state, who knows what will happen next.
Looking ahead, on the viewing platform on the northernmost side of the school grounds, there were rows of Roman officials, three people in the center, on the left was the viceroy Tisero, in the middle was Leus, the supreme commander of the Roman army in Jerusalem, and on the right was the self-proclaimed Son of Light Cylia Krymus!
Amplification circles were installed around the auditorium and the school grounds so that everyone could hear them clearly. A little further in the center of the school yard are neat rows of round holes dug out of the ground, in groups of ten, and it looks like dozens of them. On one side of the school yard, several convertible carts with two horses are parked.
The most striking thing is the huge cross in the middle of the school yard, which is made of black iron, which is intimidating.
Who will be nailed to it?
Lius cleared his throat and said, "All of you here, I don't want to say anything welcome. Because I'm in a bad mood. As a member of the invincible Roma Empire, it makes me feel bad to have to guard the remains of two hundred and thirty-five loyal soldiers and talk a lot of nonsense with you. It feels like the king of the Julia is watching the Julia being destroyed and exterminated, isn't it, my respectful, dear king of the Julia?"
The last sentence is addressed to Clemos.
Clemos said calmly, "My life belongs to God, and the kings of the world have nothing to do with me. ”
"With your words, I am relieved. Leus turned his head and continued, "Who knows what it means to 'the Loma are immortal'?"
The deputy governor on the side, Tisero, hurriedly said: "The Romans are the noblest and best race, and any citizen of Roman, unless he dies naturally, should not die, nor can he die." ”
"Oh, but there's always a chance that, for example, someone is plotting against you or something. ”
Tisero touched the scar on the top of his head and said viciously, "Ten lives are worth one life!"
"So what are you waiting for? Soldiers, begin. ”
The Romans shouted in unison, and the wolf-like Romans were divided into two groups and dragged out of the crowd, old and young, ten Julias.
The crowd was in an uproar!
Ten people were randomly selected to fight the lives of the Roma?
The Roman soldiers, who maintained order, shouted and ordered the Julians to stand back, and if they did not comply, they were overturned with a scabbard.
Leus frowned, "Soldiers, why are you so kind to the thugs who are destroying the order of Roma's divine rule? If there is any more trouble, cut it directly. Reward with killing an enemy. ”
All the Roma soldiers let out a battle cry with excitement.
Then, the audience fell silent.
The ten innocent people who were pushed to the guillotine pit and knocked down already knew what was going to happen, and they all cursed.
There was also a loud circle near the guillotine pit, and loud curses were heard, and the scolded Romans laughed, especially Leus, who was smiling, as if he had heard the most beautiful music, while the Julia were all as earthy as the face of the earth.
Twenty Roma soldiers stood behind the victims, neatly divided into two groups, the front and the rear, each with a group of ten, ten in front holding daggers and ten in the back carrying battle axes.
"The Roma Legion, the most powerful war machine in the world, and every soldier is a good Roma citizen. However, no matter how good the background is, you must always see blood before you have the courage to be a good soldier. So, let the young men who have never seen blood come to this execution, boys, it's up to you, don't let the unlucky ones suffer too much. ”
Ticero flattered, "Lord Leus, why are you divided into two groups?"
"Public executions of death row inmates are generally done by cutting their throats, but they are inefficient. There are a lot of executions today, as long as the first team is qualified and the knife is done, the second team will be beheaded, and then the next group. ”
"What's next?...... you mean"
"Hey, what I said just now didn't make me clear enough? Ten lives are worth one life. It will be enough to cut off the heads of 2,350 Julia dogs. ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Someone shouted, "The Rommahites will kill us all, Julia, get up, get up!"
