In front of the dignitaries who had fled from the mansion in shock, he shouted: "What do you say about what should be done with Kventus, who wants to wipe out the nobles who do not go with Pompey?" β
The dignitaries had resentful expressions on their faces. They did not choose to flee from Pompey because they did not share Pompey's political views or were not optimistic about the political future of the Senate giant. Now, Pompey actually sent his son Cventus to take advantage of the banquet to use assassins, armies, and priests to try to wipe out the Roman nobles who supported Caesar, how could they not be shocked and angry?
As a result, there was a shouting and shouting of killing, and many nobles angrily shouted that he should be hanged in the Senate Square.
Hearing the frantic shouts of these people, Kventus's face turned pale, although he said to Caesar hard, but it is better to die than to live, from the first princeling of the republic to the hanged prisoner, how can this huge contrast not make him frightened?
Caesar Ha laughed: "Although Pompey is a political leader, his strategy makes me feel very cold, but I still regard him as a respectable enemy, and I am willing to give my political sincerity for the peace of the republic." Instead of killing you, Kventus, I'm going to give you a letter of remission. I hope that you, in view of your sacred status as a Roman citizen, will persuade your father, Pompey, to respect the unity and peace of the country, and to sit down and settle disputes with me in peace. I will not put forward harsh conditions. My conditions are as follows???"
Just now, Antony couldn't hold back the anger in his heart: "Your Majesty Caesar, now that Pompey has escaped from Rome, a frightened bird who has lost the protection of the army, and this time he has sent assassins to threaten the lives of you and the Roman nobles, how can we put forward such generous conditions?" β
Caesar was unmoved, but still smiled and showed his generosity, releasing Kventus in public and rewarding him with 100 ores. Let him bring Pompey a letter of truce.
This scene was well received by the Roman aristocracy and the citizens at large. They praised Caesar for putting the country first and peace first, and would rather take the initiative to negotiate peace when he had an advantage. Nor does he want the country to suffer from civil war again.
Anthony and other generals are worried. Worried about Caesar in a situation where he was in the ascendancy. The return of the tiger to the mountain will form a wide vertical for Pompey. Once Pompey recovers, he will definitely make a comeback. Provoke a civil war, and it will be much more difficult to clean him up like that.
But young Octavian pursed his lips and smiled. Kirk asked him why he was laughing. Octavian laughed: "Although Pompey's group has now fled to the seaside, his internal factions are rampant. There were both republicans who opposed the dominance of one party, and there were nobles who supported the interests of the aristocracy, as well as Pompey's own supporters, and patriots who were coerced by him. These guys follow Pompey, most of them because of the situation and Pompey's deception, and they may not all be of the same mind as Pompey and are willing to see the country continue to have a civil war. Once Caesar made a peace offer, and the conditions were very lenient and reasonable, if Pompey refused again, he would definitely lose the hearts and minds of the people, and his supporters would turn the bullet and return to Rome to support Caesar. If Pompey agrees, he will have to accept the position of being subordinate to Caesar, which is very disadvantageous to Pompey, who is obviously superior in overall strength. He's sure to be in a dilemma. β
Hearing Octavian's words, Kirk was overjoyed that this Octavian had already entered the Tao. He was only 11 years old. This main quest allows himself to support Octavian to achieve his rise, if Octavian is replaced by Liu Adou, then even if Kirk is exhausted, or simply replaced by a team of reincarnators with superior strength, I am afraid that I can only be unable to support the wall in the mud, and sigh with joy.
Space virus, so far there is no trace. Kirk and others scanned it many times, but whether it was Caesar, Antony, Octavian, or others, all suggested that it was normal, and there was no virus prompt. But Kirk knew that the more Octavian trusted him, the faster his own strength improved, and the greater the degree to which he could leverage his strength in the future, the greater the possibility of completing the task.
Wang Han discussed with Kirk many times, and finally came up with an answer that they feared the most, that is, the virus may not always appear as a person, and may be possessed by a character at some point. Only at that time, when the virus is found, can the virus be killed.
But this is only a possibility, and there is no evidence. Regardless, this mission will be Kirk's longest adventure since he entered space. If nothing else, at least until Octavian grew up, he couldn't go back. Fortunately, there is no need to spend more than ten years in the world of "Rome", marry a wife and have children. At each point of the plot, the space will jump directly, saving a lot of time.
Until Chubby's unintentional words caused Kirk to think deeply: "Space says anything unreasonable, fuck, Lao Tzu was attacked by the Tiber River, it is the most fucking unreasonable." There were 6,000 Roman soldiers besieging the four of us, which was definitely more than the 95% mortality limit allowed by the space. Properly and steadily! β
Kirk and Wang Han glanced at each other: "That's right! This is obviously unreasonable! β
Wang Han's heart turned like lightning: "The most unreasonable thing at present is that this original plot has no plot at all." There are two possibilities, either Pompey is possessed by the virus and controls the First Legion to ambush us, or Glebo is a virus and decides to lead people to ambush us. I can't run away from these two people! β
With the goal clear, Kirk and the others suddenly felt a sense of relief, even if it was the Roman gods, as long as it could determine that he suspected the virus, there was a way to cure it.
Kirk had seen Grebo twice, but had never had a chance to scan him in detail, and Pompey's team had not, and these two guys were indeed very suspicious.
At this time, Caesar's adjutant walked in and asked the four of Kirk to go to the barracks to discuss the matter.
It turned out that Caesar heard that on the banks of the Tiber River, the reason why Kirk was able to lead his army to defeat the First Legion was precisely because he used the influence of the five gods such as the god of war to make most of the priests and warriors who believed in the gods give up the battle. Now that he wants to rule Rome, the biggest problem is how to get the millions of superstitious people of Rome to recognize him as the rightful ruler chosen by the gods. Only in this way will he be able to put on a sacred cloak and quickly establish himself in Rome before the decisive battle of Pompey.
When Kirk heard Caesar's request, he was immediately head-to-head. Caesar's request this time was not simply to summon the gods with the [Gift of the Lord God]. He asked for a sΓ©ance, in front of all the citizens of Rome, to ask the Lord God of Rome to come down and give him blessings. This Kirk's [Goddess of Dawn's Forgiveness] can only be in vain, the god of war and other gods are just a projection that cannot speak and has no divinity, and it is okay to deceive the Roman soldiers on the battlefield, and to fool the people in front of the hordes of priests, I am afraid that they will be quickly exposed.
Caesar was also very polite, and asked Kirk to do as much as he could. If he did well, he opened his treasure collection and let Kirk choose one as a reward. Caesar was the conqueror of Gaul and the richest man in the world. The trophies he can look at are naturally all rare and fine.
The only problem is that the time is very tight, only three days. Because fighting on the front line can break out at any time. After three days, whether or not Kirk could ask the gods to send down their blessings, Caesar had to go to the front.
Kirk remembered the Lucky Bracelet of Veronnesia that he had repaired last time. Last time, because of stealing incense and stealing jade, he was broken by Elisia's husband Grebo, and was forced to escape from Rome ahead of schedule, and he didn't have time to go to the Temple of the Gods to do business.
Since Caesar generously made a wish, Kirk, who was determined to gather the [Gift of the Lord God] set, naturally had no choice but to try it.
Fortunately, he is not without foundation, the last time he sang and harmonized with Valkyrie, played with the goddess of luck Malfona, and drummed up a silver plot equipment against the sky, and later saved Kirk's life.
At least Kirk was able to find the temple gate with a pig's head.
He took Wang Han, Chubby, and Sheva to the Temple of the Gods. Revisiting the old place, remembering the situation last time, Kirk was very emotional.
As soon as he walked in, the six-piece set of [Gift of the Lord God] on his body faintly glowed with brilliance, echoing the brilliance of the six gods on the divine throne, Juno, Minova, Vesta, Mars, Venus, and Apollo, and actually formed a sharp hexagonal line.
"What is this?" Kirk felt a wave of horror in his heart, there could be no problem, right?
"Boy, did you do a good job!" A familiar voice came, and a beautiful lady walked towards Nana. Kirk was overjoyed when he saw it, it was actually Malfona, the goddess of luck in Roman mythology!
I was so lucky to see it at a glance.
Kirk hurried up and saluted Malfona: "Gracious lady Luck, it is a pleasure to see you. β
Malfona circled Kirk twice, and her beautiful eyes swelled for a while, making Kirk's heart furious, this goddess of luck wouldn't take a fancy to the Sprinkler family, right?
To say that the favor of Lady Luck is also the ultimate dream in the hearts of otaku, but this Malfona, but since the age of mythology, this lady has been born and existed. If so, she could be Kirk's ancestor at her age.
If even such a hardcore beauty can be eaten, how good is the appetite?
Kirk had a chill.
Fortunately, Malfona did not find the abnormality in his heart, otherwise the consequences of losing the protection of Lady Luck would be unimaginable. The extent of this disaster, chasing a certain hard writer was recommended by the editor.
She finally spoke: "I really can't believe that you actually have the equipment blessed by the six main gods, it's just a pity that ???"
Kirk wondered, "What is a pity? β
Before Malfona could speak, a heart-wrenching chuckle rang out, "It's a pity that you never received our true blessing. (To be continued......)
