Volume 2 The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 24 The Dog
Ten minutes later, Caesar, who had already reverted to his original appearance as an old man, came to the door of Caligula's residence under the guidance of the attentive Richard father and son.
Although the current conditions are not very good, although it is a time of preparation......
Richard and Centurion Junius, as well as Calle before he died, did their best to build a lavish dwelling for Caligula that could accommodate dozens of people.
Such an environment somewhat reassured Caligula, who had been anxious these days, to calm down and think about how to manage Rome after this seemingly victorious battle.
However...... When Caesar saw all this, his brow furrowed, and his face became gloomy......
Subsequently, Richard and Will, father and son, were ordered to stand outside the door and wait......
Then, as the father and son, who were full of tacit understanding, made tacit eye contact, Caligula's screams came from the room......
"Fool! you are still so greedy for pleasure in this time, you don't have a little bit of Octavian in you!"
"You...... Who are you!Guard, Guard!"
"I am Caesar......! You ancestor, you pig, you don't look like a general at all, and now you are exactly the same as those idiots in the Senate!"
"No way, you can't be Caesar! My grandfather's adoptive father's uncle has long been ...... Ahh
"If you don't have the ability, don't be an emperor, look at the current Rome, what you have become?! And you actually gave the daughter of the Julius family to the Holy Family as a wife?!"
Richard, who was standing outside the door, covered his head helplessly, and raised his hand by the way to stop the guards who were holding weapons on guard and wanted to break into the room.
Well......
This is someone's family affair, and it's not easy to meddle......
Ten minutes passed, and after hearing Caesar's greeting, Richard and Will, as well as Junius, who had arrived at the news and was silent after hearing Richard's explanation, cautiously entered the room.
According to common sense, Will is not qualified to come in.
But Caesar seemed to appreciate the little fellow very much, and let him follow his father Richard, and follow him here, and ...... Observed the whole process of Caligula's beating......
Then, Caesar once again filled his body with the spirit of war, and changed back to the appearance of middle age.
Junius, who witnessed all this, turned over a gold coin on his body in a hurry, and after comparing the appearance of the middle-aged Caesar in front of him with the bust on the gold coin, his face showed ecstasy......
After entering the room, when he saw Caligula, who had been beaten into a pig's head, his face was blue and purple, lying at Caesar's feet, and there was Caligula who was out of breath, Will covered his mouth, forced a smile, and pinned his face to the side.
As for his father Richard, his acting skills were a little more skillful, he walked forward quickly, helped Caligula up with a heavy face, and in the face of Caesar's cold eyes, Richard sighed, and said with a complicated face: "Lord Caesar, you just need to be angry." However, His Majesty Caligula, he is, after all, the current emperor of Rome...... Still, my father-in-law. ”
Hearing the words of his father-in-law, Caligula, who obviously understood the meaning of these two words, looked up at Richard gratefully, and then staggered to the soft chair next to him.
And Caesar, after hearing these two words, he also understood the meaning of these two words, after snorting coldly, he looked at Richard gloomily, and asked: "You shouldn't have come to Rome to save him, seeing his current situation, I would rather the Roman Empire be destroyed than believe that the people who rule Rome will be like this!"
Caesar's words did not make Richard retreat, on the contrary, Richard, who had insight into human nature, had witnessed and remembered the way those elders in the Holy Family taught the younger ones who did not succeed...... Just like Caesar taught Caligula now!
So, Richard sighed, followed Caesar's words, and continued: "Your Majesty Caligula, a benevolent emperor, likewise, in my opinion, a great emperor...... You don't know, everything he did when he was in power...... Like you, he was tolerant of the common people, and at one time tried to restore the citizens' assembly that you admired, but was stopped by the Senate. Like you, he treats his soldiers with kindness, and in order to seek justice for the wronged knights, he even does not hesitate to turn against the elders who have already thrown an olive branch to him! Moreover, the Holy Family has also received his favor...... You may have overlooked that we did not come here from the far east to rescue Rome, but from the north to the south, and brought His Majesty out of the palace before he was killed!"
Richard's words clearly caught Caesar's attention, especially when he mentioned the word north.
In the north, there has always been a great threat from Rome...... Barbarians, the Kingdom Alliance, and the high-ranking monsters who are eyeing Roman territory......
Seeing that Caesar's face was gradually gloomy and had realized something, Richard sighed, looked at Caesar sincerely and said, "Venerable Augustus, please forgive His Majesty's decision...... In the present state of the Roman Empire, he graciously accepted us, who did not want to continue to be enemies of Rome, and resided in the northern province of Ivey. I am now the Archon of the Province of Ivey, responsible for defending against the barbarians of the north, the Warcraft Forest of the West, and my people as a buffer against the Kingdom Alliance's invasion of the Empire!"
After hearing Richard say these words, Caesar's eyes were even more cold, and after taking a deep look at Caligula, who was trembling, Caesar retracted the momentum on his body and said lightly: "Holy family, I hope that you can remember your promise today, and your loyalty ......"
"Of course, honorable Augustus!" Richard respectfully knelt down on one knee in front of Caesar, a sign of allegiance......
Seeing Richard like this, Will's heart couldn't help but rise with anger, humiliation, and sorrow......
He mourned that his proud father had done this for the sake of his people......
Most of the powerhouses of each race are the guardians of that race.
Unlike the gods believed in by this race, most of these powerful people can move freely in the human world, and provide a certain degree of help to the race within their ability and without violating the rules.
There are some ethnic groups that have few strong people, such as the barbarian tribes in the north, and until now, including Basso Natu, there are only three strong people.
However, apart from Basso Natu and the student he taught who was a hero-level powerhouse like him, another powerhouse was nowhere to be found......
Despite this, the barbarian tribe rarely encounters trouble, they fight among themselves, these strong people will not care, but once they encounter something that cannot be countered by mortal power, these strong people will stand up and do their best to solve the problem for them, so as to ensure the continuation of the race.
And as the most powerful force on this continent, the Roman Empire, or as the most powerful human race on this continent, the Romans. The strong man they possess is still an unknown number to this day.
Although this number is unknown, Will can be sure that it is definitely not small.
However, his father Richard told him that the riots in Rome happened because of the internal conflicts among the powerful men who guarded Rome, and the new god Jehovah did not know what means were used, so that the two powerful men known to Rome intervened in the riots......
Those two strong men were the Inspector General of the Supervisory Yuan and the High Priest of the faith.
But even so, when Caesar returned, Will knew that the riot was about to end.
The power and prestige of a legendary strong man are immeasurable, especially this strong man, who is also a man who can become a god in the hearts of the Romans, the noble Augustus - Gaius Julius Caesar!
But......
A hint of loss flashed in Will's eyes......
The strong of the Holy Clan, the few are pitiful......
And they still stand on the side of the rotten Council of Elders......
Because, they came from the Council of Elders......
Thinking of this, Will looked at his father with more distress in his eyes......
This man who often smiles confidently in front of him, this man who has been sleepless all night countless times thinking about the future of the Holy Clan......
But......
Will was proud, and even though he felt sorry for his father, he was proud of everything he had done......
Even if he was in front of his eyes, to ...... Caesar knelt down on one knee and bowed to ...... Caligula knelt down on one knee and ...... The priests of the New God Church...... Get down on one knee......
Will's hands clenched unconsciously, he felt the pain, but he still did not relax, and soon, blood flowed from between his fingers, and he retracted it very secretly......
Witnessing all this, Will is not the only one who has thoughts in his heart.
Standing aside, after confirming Caesar's identity, Junius, who had ecstasy on his face, saw that he had long been dissatisfied with Richard, who had taken over the two legions, knelt down on one knee, and finally spitted out a sentence mockingly.
"Richard, you really look like a dog now!"
Immediately after, there was a burst of arrogant laughter.
"Now, our legendary powerhouse has returned to Rome, and you are no longer of any use!"
Junius's face was full of madness, he had long been dissatisfied with a Holy Clan riding on his head and giving orders.
Today, after witnessing Caesar's return, the thoughts that he had hidden in his heart for a long time can finally be said without scruples!
After hearing his words, Will's face became extremely gloomy, and the same became gloomy, as well as Caligula, who was lying on his side, who had recovered, and ...... Caesar!
"Richard, be smart, hand over the military power quickly, and go back to the north!"
