Volume 2 The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 32 Deception
In the royal palace of Rome, in peacetime, in the chamber where the Roman emperors summoned the ministers and senators, the three well-dressed people fought here and were inextricably linked.
"Tell me, where did the legendary legion 'Scipio the Great' and the legendary legion 'Golden Spear' go?Why did we not know about their disappearance until now?Tell me, why?!"
"Calm down, Turunus, it's not my fault and Sipp!"
"Barry, Barry, my friend, we don't need to defend ourselves! Turunus he's just afraid that we'll blame him for this, and bite us first!"
Turunus, the longest man in the Roman Senate, was also the one who held the most seats in the Senate.
He is 80 years old, he does not have the feeling of being old at a glance, on the contrary, his spirit is very good, among the three, he is the tallest, he glared at the two elders in front of him, one fat and one thin, especially when he heard the thin and cold eyes of the elder open his mouth to suspect that he was covering up his mistakes, he was even more angry!
"Sipp, you mean, I'm to blame for all this, right?" Turunus looked at Sipp with a blank expression, just waiting for the latter's reaction.
"Isn't it? Barry's men and I have imprisoned those loyal to the tyrant, but what about you and yours?" At the end of the sentence, Sipp suddenly became furious, and he almost pointed at Turunus's nose and cursed!
"Calm down, Sipp, my friend, calm down...... Don't argue...... "This time, it was the fattest of the three who spoke, his name was Barry, and Barry looked very rich, and his fat body made people feel disgusted...... At least in this day and age......
However, after convincing Sipp, Barry couldn't help but look at Turunus.
"Dear Elder, Turunus, I have no intention of questioning you, I am just stating some facts...... Although Sipp has offended you just now, what he said is what I and he have seen with our own eyes...... Your people ...... as I and Sip deal with the forces of rebellion in the city of Rome It is indeed encroaching on the property of the royal family...... Searching for the Riches of Augustus......"
“...... Hmph......"
"Don't stare at me like that, respected elder. Anger doesn't solve anything now...... Let's think about it, at least, now we know that the two legendary legions are missing......"
"Tell me, then, where they went? Did they leave Rome and disband themselves as civilians...... Or, go to their emperor, who has fled Rome, and be ready to come back here and put us to death?!"
"This ......"
Hearing Turunus' taunt, Barry stopped talking, because he didn't think it was necessary.
This shrewd old fellow clearly wanted to blame him and Sipp for all this.
"Alright, Barry, don't say it, my friend. Don't you see, no matter how much you respect this old immortal, he won't look at you squarely!" Sipp said these words as he stood in front of Barry, and finally, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, and spoke again: "Have you forgotten that on the night when the Praetorian Guard brought the tyrant to us, this old immortal and his men were the first to enter the treasury of the Roman royal family?"
"Slander, you slander!" Turunus' face flushed, and he waved the scepter in his hand, as if trying to get Sipp to take it back.
Unfortunately, before he could swing a few times, he was stopped by Barry.
Barry, a good old man who usually smiles, turned his face angry at this moment......
"Is it useful for you to say this? Tell me, Sipp, is it useful? And, Turunus, allow me to call you that, now is not the time to pass the buck! You must know that if those men find the Emperor and follow him back to Rome, we will all be executed! Since the death of the tyrant's sister, his personality has changed! So, don't leave anything to chance, understand?!"
Sipp and Turunus looked at Barry like this, and they were silent.
After a moment, Sipp hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "The reason why I came here today is to tell you something...... You should have seen last night's Blood Moon...... A Roman priest who had converted to SBC told me that yesterday SBC had sent an oracle claiming that last night's vision had been made by the Roman gods for a simple purpose – to prevent SBC from continuing to help us in Rome. ”
"Why didn't you say this kind of important thing earlier?"
"I just got the news early in the morning, and I'm here!"
Ignoring Turunus, who finally got a reason to continue condemning him, Sipu calmed down and continued: "In addition, there is news that can be confirmed, that is, the legendary legion 'Golden Spear' and the legendary legion 'Scipio the Great' have been destroyed under the conspiracy of the Roman gods!"
"What?!" Hearing this, Barry's face changed instantly!
"You heard it right, those two legendary legions were not loyal to their emperor, but simply, at the hands of the gods, they were destroyed...... Also, the priest whom the New God has entrusted me to tell me to pass on this message to you, that is, don't think of escaping, all the passages to the outside are blocked by a group of forces that even the New God cannot see!
"Really, but it's crazy!" Barry took a few steps back in disbelief, and so did Turunus.
"Two, I hope that our forces can be united, we still have one remaining Legendary Legion, and six Standing Legions, according to the conversion ratio that three Standing Legions can hold off one Legendary Legion, we still have a chance to win!" Sipp said firmly.
"Really?"
"Really, believe me, my friend. ”
"So, who should we put in command?"
Barry and Sipp then looked at Turunus, who was the only one who had experience leading the army.
"Please, then, Elder, forgive me for my rudeness, however, the fate of Rome is in your hands. ”
Sipp knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, and Barry did the same, because Sipp didn't need to lie, he was telling the truth, and if Rome was captured, then everyone would not want to live!
"Okay, I got ......"
Turunus nodded, a hint of terror on his lips......
