Volume 2 The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 42 Deceive the Gods
"Tell me, how are you going to die? Do you simply kill yourself so as not to dirty my hands, or do you want me to kill you myself, and annihilate your souls by the way?"
Caesar's cold gaze swept over the faces of those men, and no one dared to look at him, and no one dared to stand up and talk to him......
Will, who had been standing behind Caesar and watching all this, suddenly stepped forward.
Will knew it was time for him to play.
If Caesar really didn't care about the lives and deaths of these people, then he wouldn't waste time talking to them.
Therefore, according to Will's speculation, Caesar should have wanted those people to submit to the power of Emperor Caligula.
After all, after the civil war, Rome's power was unprecedentedly weak.
Legends are powerful, and gods are powerful......
But Caesar is no longer a legendary powerhouse, he has become a new god, a new god based on Roman beliefs!
This meant that he could not intervene in the struggles between Rome and other countries......
Once he dared to inflict divine punishment on the enemies of Rome on the battlefield, it would mean the beginning of the divine war......
The gods' shot is more serious than the significance of the legendary powerhouse's shot.
That's why Will had the idea......
Caesar said so much, and used the representatives of the two senators to establish his authority, nothing more than for what he did next, and no one dared to question it.
All Caesar lacked was a man who stood up and offered to give in......
Moreover, this submission must be after his prestige......
Those people, however, apparently did not perceive Caesar's intentions...... Or, because Caesar shocked them so deeply, they didn't even dare to have superfluous thoughts now.
So......
"Your Highness Caesar, I think it's better for you not to kill them now. ”
Will respectfully bowed to Caesar, who had become a god.
"You, good...... After seeing me become a god, can you still be like this...... Nature. Tell me, why are you stopping me?"
Caesar turned around, looked at Will, and nodded, in recognition of his courage.
"Your Highness, the biggest reason why the empire is in turmoil is the group of senators, and they, although not the main masterminds of this conspiracy, are also accomplices. ”
Will said with a blank face, and after hearing what he said, the warriors who had fought for the Senate first looked grateful, and then angry because of his words.
However, Will did not care about this, he only continued to bow deeply to Caesar.
"I don't think it's too much to give them the death penalty for their guilt...... But killing them is easy...... However, this will deprive Rome of a group of loyal and reliable warriors in the future!"
"Oh?"
Caesar turned around and looked at Will in confusion, but judging by the occasional look of encouragement in his eyes, he was pleased with Will's performance.
But Will didn't plan to look up at Caesar, and after sensing Caesar's arrival and secretly observing, Will planned everything......
Including giving up the army, which in his opinion, had a high chance of surrendering to Emperor Caligula, and annihilating all of them here......
Will took a deep breath and decided to make up the reason why he was here first.
"Your arrival...... It is a great honour for me to set out today, and my father has entrusted me to take my men around the city in search of the lone senator, while he himself leads his men to the garrison of the Standing Legion...... Now it seems that the senators must have temporarily moved places...... And I happened to meet this legendary legion. ”
"Originally, I was only sent to train, but when I saw it, I could only come out to persuade me to surrender...... You may have observed this in the shadows. ”
"I'm not complaining about anything...... It can only be said that the patriarch who planned all this is too cunning, so cunning that he can blind your existence. Yet, you still came, and as a ...... A deity, it is a great honor for me, an honor to fight for a deity......"
Will said these words and deliberately controlled himself to tremble a few times, which seemed strange, but in Caesar's eyes, it couldn't be more appropriate.
In Caesar's eyes, Will's age can be said to be a child. is such a small child, but he usually behaves more calmly than some adults.
Today, when he saw himself, the trace of trepidation in his eyes was occasionally seen by Caesar...... But after that, he still wanted to be calm......
That's good, that holy family called Richard, has a good descendant.
Now, however, despite his best efforts, he is showing his weaknesses......
For example, in front of yourself, forcibly explain something.
Will gradually became stammering words, which invisibly satisfied Caesar's vanity, he snorted, sank his face, looked at Will, and said coldly.
"Tell me, why, you've been speaking for these soldiers from the beginning......? Are you in their league too?"
Caesar's threatening words made Will's facial expression become "panicked", and Will was "frightened" so much that he almost didn't stand firmly, but he still tried to defend himself.
"I ...... I have absolutely no other thoughts...... Neither did my father!"
"I just stumbled upon them...... I also see how powerful they are...... So ......"
"So I thought...... They may be under the command of His Majesty the Emperor...... Serve him...... I ......"
Will's hands were gesturing, and it looked like he was trying to argue. Judging by the cold sweat on his forehead, he was indeed very nervous......
Seeing this, Caesar slowly let go of the doubts in his heart, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "I know what you mean, and I know your father's loyalty...... But I still need a reasonable explanation—why, should I let them go? just because Caligula is that idiot, and there is no one around him?"
Will swallowed a mouthful of saliva, is this the explicit indication of the legend?
Then, Will respectfully lowered his head, tried to control his body to maintain a certain amount of trembling, and explained, "I just think...... Me and my men, though it may be possible to overcome them...... However, there will be a heavy price...... Then, His Majesty the Emperor was there again because of the previous rebellion...... His Praetorian Guard, too...... That's why I want them to see the situation and return to the embrace of the Empire......"
Will finished speaking intermittently, and when he finished speaking, he tentatively glanced up at Caesar, and sure enough, he saw a look of appreciation in the other person's eyes.
Caesar nodded in satisfaction, then turned around, pretending to hesitate for a moment, and then turned his gaze back to the warriors loyal to the Senate.
"I think what he said makes a lot of sense, so tell me, what is your answer? Do you choose death, or ......?"
Before Caesar could finish speaking, the warriors scrambled to swear allegiance to Augustus, and they were even afraid that Caesar would suddenly change his mind!
"I, we do!"
"For His Majesty the Emperor!
"Your Highness Caesar, please accept our faith!"
In this case, a lot, a lot...... Obviously, they were all made to lose their minds again by this surprise of escaping death.
"Very good...... Your future master, in the northwest of the city, go and meet him!"
Caesar waved his hand and drove them away.
The experiment was set up in front of a god
Caesar then came to Will's side, and Will took two steps back in fear, but quickly stopped and faced Caesar with his head bowed.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"No...... Afraid. ”
"Are you afraid, or are you not afraid?"
“...... Fear. ”
"Because, I became a god, right?"
Speaking of this, Caesar's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly put his mouth to Will's ear and said, "Before, the conversation between you and your father in the camp was known to me a long time ago!"
Hearing Caesar's words, Will showed a look of fear very cooperatively, and was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Remember, God, is omnipotent. Caesar looked at Will coldly, he looked at Will, snorted disdainfully, and continued, "So, put away your little cleverness...... You should learn from your father, from his respect for that fool at Caligula, and from his loyalty to the Empire!"
"Yes......" Will replied in a low voice, his voice filled with helplessness.
"Alright, stand up...... Anyway, how did you do today...... I admire your wit, and you know how to use my might to persuade those traitors to surrender in the face of defeat! However, I am curious...... What did you think originally? Don't try to deceive me...... You're facing a god!" Caesar said slowly, and when he mentioned that he was a god, he suddenly unleashed a majestic power hidden within his body!
"I want them to go north to serve and help our people fight against the invasion of the Kingdom Alliance!" Will almost blurted out, and after saying these words, he covered his mouth and looked at Caesar in despair.
"Hmph...... You should be glad you are honest at the moment!" Caesar glanced at Will dissatisfied, and then a divine light enveloped him, and soon, Caesar disappeared into this place, and his voice still echoed here.
"You have your own selfish intentions, but your way of doing things should serve the Empire!"
Will quietly opened Polya's pupils, and after confirming that Caesar was really gone, he stood up and patted the dust off his body very calmly, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Hmph, even if he becomes a god, he is still a fool like Caligula in his bones!"
