"Samsara 228, the rebel army you led has killed Bardax, complete (Competitive Surname Mission: Revenge!) First mission objective. You can choose to claim the quest reward immediately, or postpone it until you complete other quest objectives, and you must claim the quest reward when you exit the quest world. ”

After Xu Mo chose to postpone the claim of the mission reward, he led the heavily armed gladiators towards the Governor's Palace.

"Boss, Lucius's current situation, I'm afraid he won't wait for the envoy of Rome City anymore, why don't we wait for Lucius to leave the city and then intercept and kill him halfway?" Max asked in a low voice.

"Now everyone knows that Lucius is finished, in addition to us, I'm afraid there are many reincarnation teams also eyeing him, if you wait for Lucius to go out of the city, there will be too many competitors." Xu Mo explained lightly.

"However, wouldn't it be too dangerous to directly attack the Doge's Palace inside Pompeii!" Serna asked worriedly.

"No, attacking the Doge's Palace in Pompeii, if Lucius is not prepared, our advantage will be even greater!" Xu Mo smiled, raised three fingers and said. "First, the reservists assured Claudia that if Claudia was secretly seeking revenge on Lucius, they would be as neutral as Lucius had fought against his father before, and would not come to Lucius' rescue!

Second, the small space of the Doge's Palace was more conducive to the gladiators' personal force, rather than the Romans, as in the field. Thirdly, although we have forced Lucius to be alone, after all, he has been operating in Pompeii for so many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no other backhand to let him breathe. ”

"Besides, it's not like we're not unprepared, Claudia has paid off a captain of the Doge's Palace with a huge amount of dinars, and he will open the back door of the Doge's Palace with his henchmen, so that we don't have to storm the walls of the Doge's Palace!" Dinah sighed, "Lucius can even use Nilo, who was born and died for him, as a scapegoat, and his subordinates will naturally not die for him in a crisis." ”

……

"Huh? No, stop! Approaching the backyard of the Governor's Mansion a few hundred meters away, Xu Mo frowned and waved his hand to keep the team in place.

"Arres, what's wrong!" Cabal took a few steps forward and asked curiously.

"You see, there is no candlelight at the Governor's Palace!" Xu Mo pointed to the dark and quiet Governor's Mansion and said.

"It's late at night, so I'm probably sleeping, nothing unusual? Our movement is so small that the guards at the Doge's Palace should not be aware of it! Ragseus leaned over to the two of them and whispered.

"At this time, a normal person should indeed blow out the lamp and sleep, but can the guards of the Governor's Mansion sleep peacefully now? Shouldn't you be the guards of the Governor's Palace, in such a time of crisis, the lights are on and the security is high? Xu Mo said lightly, "It seems that Lucius has not been completely defeated, at least the situation in the Governor's Mansion is still under his control!" ”

"Arres, the Governor's Mansion is now less than three hundred guards, and now the brothers are all wearing heavy armor, even if we charge hard, we can level the Governor's Palace!" Ragalseus said proudly.

"Forgot the lesson from last time? Want to cry again? Xu Mo lowered his face and scolded, "Max, Dinah, you take a few people to stay, and the others will quit two miles away for me, find a place to rest first!" ”

"Oh!" Ragseus looked at the governor's palace and reluctantly agreed.

"Boss, there's movement outside the Governor's Palace, and a group of people are storming the Governor's Palace!" Xu Mo, who was half-asleep in a dwelling, suddenly heard a message from Max in his soul imprint.

"Oh? Max, you take someone to protect Dinah closer, so that she can observe the situation inside the Doge's Palace with her true mind. Xu Mo shook his head and drove away the drowsiness.

"Wow, it seems that there is more than one group of people, and several more groups of people have followed, and the total number has reached more than five hundred people. It seems that there are a lot of smart people, it is estimated that in addition to us, the reincarnators lurking in Pompeii, all the gladiators led by them are here, boss, you miscalculated, hehe! From Xu Mo's soul imprint, Dinah's laughter sounded.

"I miscalculated, why are you so excited!" Xu Mo said angrily, "Hehe, it seems that there are still a lot of acquaintances among these reincarnators, and that tin can is ...... Rowland! ”

"**, what is this, Lucius is hiding this kind of thing in the Doge's Palace!" Max looked incredulously at the guards of the Doge's Palace, and rolled out several miniature trebuchets.

"The reincarnation of Lucius's side...... It's amazing! Serna and Jeanne were also connected to their true hearts, exclaiming at some of the battles.

"At least four reincarnators, the reincarnation of the lead...... The offense and defense were weakened to one-third, and he couldn't use equipment props, and he could actually suppress two champion gladiators whose strength was no less than that of Kabal......" Xu Mo shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a burst of happiness in his heart.

"Boss, should we join the war, although it seems that the gladiators have suffered heavy casualties, but after all, they have a numerical advantage, if we don't participate in the war, I'm afraid we won't be able to make any profits!" Max said anxiously.

"Max, you're doing the same thing again!" Xu Mo said helplessly, "Serna is engaged in business, how can you always learn from her!" ”

“boss！” In the team communication, Serna was disgruntled.

"Hey, Lucius has withdrawn into the hall, doesn't he know that the narrow hall is more beneficial to the gladiators?" Max was surprised and said, "Ah, God......"

"It's ruthless! There is at least one of his hundred-man guards there......" Xu Mo and the others looked at the part of the mansion that collapsed in the Governor's Mansion in their true hearts, and they were all amazed.

"The gladiators have retreated, and at least three hundred of their companions have died!" Max let out a long breath, "Wait, Lucius, they seem to be chasing the gladiators?" ”

"No, they're not chasing gladiators, Lucius is going to take this opportunity to get out of the city, this is his best chance to get out of Pompeii!" Xu Mo smiled coldly, "Dinah, you hang them from afar, see which direction they go out of the city, Serna, Jeanne, wake up the others......"

……

At dawn, the sea breeze blowing from the southeast of Pompeii carried a slight wet smell, which made the tired team feel refreshed. Lucius took advantage of the light of day to look back at Pompeii and gritted his teeth. Last night's victory over the rebels rekindled the flame of hope.

Lucius was killed not only by mercenaries, but also by the guards of the Doge's Palace, and all the wounded were left behind by him. This callous behavior sent chills through the hearts of many of the guards at the Governor's Palace. In the process of leaving the city, many guards left him under the cover of night, and the guards who still follow him are less than fifty people except for a few reincarnators, and most of them are exhausted and have more or less injuries on their bodies.

However, for Lucius, it was all worth it, as long as he could evade the rebels, he still had a chance to make a comeback. Lucius planned to take refuge with his uncle, Luculus, who was fighting the Spartan army in the east.

As long as he was meritorious in the war with Sparta, when he returned to Rome, he was still greeted with flowers and applause. At that time, he will make everyone who has disgraced him today pay.

"Hurry up, we must get out of Pompeii's territory today!" Lucius told the guards that there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart before he left Pompeii completely.

"Master!" The guards in front of Lucius suddenly widened their eyes and shouted in panic as they pointed to the small hill in front of them.

Lucius was startled, and immediately looked back at the hillside, his pupils instantly shrunk into the eye of a needle. On the hillside in front of them, a heavily armed Roman army emerged like a ghost.

No, these people were not Roman troops, and Lucius immediately denied his judgment in his mind. Although the armor and swords and shields on the bodies of these people were all Roman standard equipment, and even some strong soldiers carried huge tower shields, they were not Roman troops. The formation of the Roman army was definitely not as loose and undisciplined as theirs.

They should be...... A picture quickly appeared in Lucius's mind: a team of slave gladiators on a wide plain, slashing more than half of the three Roman youth hundreds. Then the corpses of these Roman soldiers were stripped of bare pigs and armed themselves to the teeth with enemy equipment.

Lucius had a complicated look on his face, the team in front of him was the only gladiator rebel army that had not been performed according to the script, and the only rebel he hoped to defeat the Roman army. Now these rebels, whom he had deliberately spared, armed with the equipment of the three youth soldiers he had deliberately buried, stood in his way of escape.

Now, Lucius understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and this team had not appeared at all during last night's battle. Obviously, they have been hiding in the shadows, waiting for him to play all his cards, and only when he is weakest and weakest, did they choose to give him the final blow.

Xu Mo slowly raised his short sword, and then slashed forward heavily.

"Kill!" The gladiators erupted in earth-shattering shouts, rushing down the hillside like a torrent of steel towards the exhausted Lucius and his party.

"Boss, we're going too!" Dinah's voice rang out in the team communication.

"Well, follow the predetermined plan, be careful, protect yourself, and try to hold off those reincarnators!" Xu Mo nodded and commanded cautiously.

Xu Mo himself did not choose to participate in the battle, and stood on the top of the hillside with four guards covered in plate armor, observing the entire battlefield situation.

"You're their wise man?" A deep male voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Mo.
