Chapter 14: The Kidnapping of the Roman Emperor
The people in the stands were far away, and the conversation on the scene was relatively mild, they didn't know that the situation was starting to change, and they thought that there was a friendly and cordial interaction going on below! Hogg and these gladiators thought it was incredible, why did the Spaniards offend the emperor? The gladiator who knew Maximus looked at the shield a meter away, knowing that the situation was very delicate, and that if he didn't do it, there would be a bloody battle.
Without waiting for Camerdos to react, Maximus turned and left; I couldn't hear the conversation, and watching this action, tens of thousands of people in the audience were in an uproar; According to some royal rules, this is absolutely a naked contempt for the dignity of the emperor!
"You're so bold! How dare you turn your back on me! Camerdos was so loud that even the spectators on the first floor of the stands could hear him; The gentle smile was long gone, replaced by a twisted look of rage.
"Slave!" Seeing that Maximus had walked into the gladiators, Camerdos yelled angrily.
"Take off your helmet! Tell me your name! ”
Now it seemed to have an effect, and Maximus stopped; Whether in the colosseum or in the spectator stands, there was silence in the Roman Colosseum; Except for Wang Jun, the kneeling Hoge and their palms were all sweaty, what kind of plane did the Spaniards want? Take us to death?
Maximus paused for a second or two under the watchful eye, raised his hands up, took off his covered helmet, and slowly turned around.
Camerdos died in an instant, and Quintas behind him crashed directly.
This... Is this a Shenma situation?
short brown hair, chestnut eyes, cold eyes, familiar faces that could not be more familiar; Camerdos almost forgot that the man he thought he was dead was actually standing there, looking at him with hatred.
The smile was long gone, the anger was gone, and now Camerdos's face was dull, pale and stiff.
"My name, Maximus!"
"The commander of the Northern Army ..."
"The First Roman Legion, General Felix's Legion..."
"Marcus, the rightful emperor of the Roman Empire, a faithful servant..."
Maximus announced loudly, stunned everyone, is this the real ** in today's gladiatorial arena?
Maximus's prestige had long been known, and the people at the scene were amazed, didn't the empire say that he died in battle?
The senators who knew Maximus were dumbfounded, hell!
Lucyla jumped up from her chair, ran to her son Luces, and leaned in to look at the man standing in the center of the field!
"My son was murdered..."
"My wife was killed..."
"Whether in this life or in the next, I will avenge them!"
Maximus was facing Camerdos, and with each word, he took a step forward; The cold gaze almost froze Camerdos, so that Quintas did not dare to look directly; Every word resounded throughout the gladiatorial arena. Thinking of the broken and charred corpses of his wife and children, and the pale face of the old emperor, Maximus couldn't help but follow Wang Jun's previous prompts, loudly announcing his oath to the world, and did not speak softly as in the original plot.
The audience at the scene was not stupid birds, they didn't expect that the Roman general full of honor would have such a bleak end, his family was gone, and he became a slave; And looking at the current situation, Camerdos must be the mastermind behind the murder of Maximus, I really can't see that the seemingly gentle Camerdos is so vicious! What else is there that we don't know?
Tens of thousands of people pricked up their ears and looked at the center of the arena with wide eyes, for fear of missing a detail.
Standing in the midst of a pile of kneeling gladiators, Maximus ignored the tense circle of forbidden troops around him and glared angrily at Camerdos, who was ten meters away in front of him. All the forbidden troops clung to their weapons, for fear that Maximus would make a move to cut the emperor; Everyone has seen Maximus's performance on the field before, it is simply a killing machine.
Because Maximus had asked all the gladiators to kneel and not get up, everyone was led to ignore the kneeling group, and of course, it was not unreasonable for everyone to focus on Maximus with a group of ordinary gladiators who were still kneeling honestly without weapons and a Roman general who stood out from the crowd.
No one noticed that among the kneeling gladiators, the one at the front of the line was less than five meters away from the emperor, a distance that would not be very dangerous under normal circumstances; Wang Jun knelt quietly on the ground, motionless, because Maximus turned around and deliberately walked a little longer, Wang Jun, who was now between the two sides of the confrontation, was completely ignored; Low-key, sure enough, there are still some benefits.
The other gladiators did not dare to move for fear of causing chaos.
Oh, God!
The Spaniards who rescued everyone were actually Maximus, the most famous general in Rome!
This news was enough to dumb the gladiators, but then everyone heard that this Maximus had a grudge against Emperor Camerdos!
No way! This head is not enough.
No wonder Maximus asked us to kneel and pin up, as if he did not want to bother us; Hogg and the others were in turmoil in their minds; If there are more fierce materials, maybe it will be lighter to say that the direct crash.
Camerdos is already at a loss.
Kill him!
Kill him!
A strong voice roared inside.
Camerdos, who had made up his mind, grimaced coldly, leaned sideways closer to Quintas, and explained in a low voice.
"Soldier!" Quintas understood, and immediately shouted a command.
The Forbidden Army, which had completed the encirclement in three directions, immediately lowered their spears, while the centurion standing behind Camerdos and Quintas hurriedly rushed forward with a small group of Forbidden Army, trying to complete the encirclement; The fifty forbidden troops who remained at the gate rushed to the field at the same time.
No matter what the emperor thinks, the tens of thousands of onlookers are not happy anyway.
Your sister's! The words are not clear, and the shady curtain has not surfaced, so do you want to kill people?
What crime did Maximus commit as a general?
As a gladiator, Maximus was the winner of the day, and the rules of gladiatorial fighting for the survival of the victor should be respected.
Tens of thousands of people broke out.
"Survivor survives! Survivor Survive! The neat and powerful shouts almost overturned the entire arena.
At this moment, Camerdos's face became ugly, very ugly!
At this moment, Wang Jun broke out.
Most of the forbidden troops behind Camerdos had not yet rushed in front of the emperor, and the forbidden troops at the distance had not yet run at a speed; The only people who had time to rush to Camerdos were the Praetorian Commander Quintas, the Centurion of the Praetorian Army, and the other two Praetorian soldiers, who had been beside him all along.
Wang Jun reached out with his right hand, the sharp short sword was in his hand, and his body, which had been quiet, suddenly rushed forward, and the orthodox body that had been trained in gladiatorial combat for 2 years ejected out like a cheetah; Wang Jun's body reversed 90 degrees in the air, and then kicked his legs hard at the two forbidden soldiers who were coming in front of him.
The two Praetorian soldiers, who were running faster, were focused on Maximus, who was standing on his way, when suddenly a shadow blocked their view, and before they could understand what was going on, they received a violent blow to the chest. With two muffled sounds, the bodies of the two forbidden soldiers soared backwards, knocking down Quintas and the centurion hard, and there was no longer any life.
The tragic Quintas and the centurion, guarding the Emperor with their swords in hand, had just seen two soldiers rushing in front of him, one left and one right, and how could they have expected that the two of them would suddenly fly back upside down! What's even more tragic is that they flew backwards a few points faster than they had rushed forward before!
Quintas and the centurion only had time to subconsciously avoid each other's bodies with the tip of their swords, and a huge impact smashed them to the ground; Because the impact force was very strong, the two of them could not get up from the ground for half a day.
Wang Jun's current surname is still very considerable, strength: 17, agility 19, spirit 10, physique: 18 (ordinary strong men 5), and the bull man Maximus can only exist as a sparring partner. Quintas, these forbidden officers and soldiers who have no surname of 10, under the outbreak of Wang Jun's full strength, are all scum.
After everyone reacted, Wang Jun had already appeared at Camerdos's side calmly, and the bright dagger was already on his throat; The Praetorian Army stopped running, the spectators stopped shouting, and the entire arena suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Silence lasted only a few seconds.
Tens of thousands of spectators let out hysterical howls, you sister! Too... Exciting!
A small man who didn't seem to be strong kicked four people away with one kick!
Tens of thousands of eyes stared at the scene, but they didn't see how he put his short sword across the emperor's throat!
The power of the Stormy Bear!
Cheetah's speed!
Regardless of the command ability, the combat power of this seemingly ordinary and short gladiator who burst out in an instant can definitely be compared to Maximus; Well, maybe it's even more powerful!
The audience is glad that they chose to watch the gladiatorial fight today, this ** wave after wave, and one wave is stronger than the wave, it is so exciting!
Looking at Camerdos, whose face was extremely pale, Maximus's eyes flashed with sparks, and Wang Jun succeeded.
"Camerdos! Why kill His Majesty Marcus! Maximus began to growl; This is not his style, but Wang Jun has a point, how can he explain his anger without roaring?
In the eyes of tens of thousands of viewers, the quieter the voice, the more confident and guilty they are.
There was an uproar in the stands, and there was an uproar in the stands as well.
If Maximus was plotted, and there were still some people at the scene who knew about it, then the fact that the old emperor Marcus was killed by his own son is almost unknown.
In fact, in addition to Wang Jun and Camerdos himself, several other so-called insiders at the scene also relied on guesses, and even Lucyla, who was most sure of this matter, did not see the situation with her own eyes.
What is Super Fierce Material?
What is a shocking secret?
The current emperor is on the throne, this is super fierce material! This is the shocking secret!
"I ......, I didn't!" After being subdued by Wang Jun, Camerdos was a little confused, but when he heard this terrible sentence, he still shouted at the top of his voice.
"You didn't? Ha ha... No! Maximus shook his head and laughed out loud.
"Camerdos, how does it feel to hold His Majesty Marcus in your arms and suffocate him to death?" Maximus had already learned the details of the situation from Wang Jun, and now questioned Camerdos for verification; Second, just to tell tens of thousands of people around.
"You ......" Camerdos will be really confused, how can Maximus know about his darkest and most ** sin?
"You idiot! He's your father! ”
"Is it because he said you are not worthy to be the emperor of Rome?"
"Is it because he wants Rome to be a republic?"
"Or is it because he said he wanted to pass the throne to me?"
"After killing my father, you still want to kill me? Kill my child? Kill my wife? ”
Maximus's series of questions spread throughout the gladiatorial arena.
"Wow!" The audience can't sit still, your uncle! This Camedos is not ordinary vicious!
Suffocate His Majesty Marcus alive!
Destroy Maximus all over the place!
And the senate members who had a little bit of ideals were even more excited, the old emperor actually wanted Rome to become a republic!
Now there is only one question, is what Maximus said true?
In fact, things have developed to this point, and most of the people on the scene have chosen to believe Maximus.
Think about it, if Camerdos is in power, then why would he kill the military accomplished Maximus and his family?
Is there water in your head?
There was only one case in which Camerdos had absolutely valid reasons to kill Maximus, and that was when Maximus killed the old Emperor Marcus in Bohemia and attempted to seize power.
But at the beginning, the official information clearly said that His Majesty Marcus died of respiratory failure, and this information was released by Camerdos; It can't be that Camerdos helped his father's murderer cover up the crime!
Lucyla stood in the stands with her mouth covered, dazed; At the beginning, her brother Camerdos arranged for Quintas to kill Maximus, she knew it clearly, but she didn't stop it, just gave her brother a few slaps, and then ...... Lucyla immediately pledged her allegiance to her brother...... A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea.
