Inside the city of Rome, a few homeless people are basking in the sun in an alley in the comfort of trash.
at the same time kept cursing Katirin, because he expelled the holy religion, which prevented them from receiving free food in the morning, so they all gritted their teeth at him.
An inexplicable light flashed in the eyes of one of the tall and thin hobos, occasionally interjecting a few words, but watching them more often.
It took a long time to say to them: “I heard that the army under the crown of the Pope is about to enter Italy. Have you ever thought of taking the opportunity to do something for the Pope and the Holy Church. This will not only enable us to go to heaven after death, but also more in our lifetime? Eat a few full meals.”
Saying to eat, many homeless people immediately felt hungry, and some even swallowed hard.
I haven’t been hungry, I really don’t know the pain of starving.
“Of course I think, how could Katilin be the opponent under the crown of the Pope, but we have no way out.”
said a homeless man.
“Do you have a way?”
asked another tramp, then looked at him with scorching eyes.
A trace of pride flashed in the eyes of the tall and thin tramp, and he said, “Yes, I know some of them. If you want to do something big, come with me.”
got up and left after speaking. The other tramp glanced at each other, and finally followed.
They have become homeless people. What can they miss? It’s a big deal, and they can go to heaven if they die for the holy religion. This is a good thing.
The tall and thin tramp led them through the winding streets, and finally came to a small five-story building.
There were some vendors outside the small building, and a vendor gave a gesture to the tall and thin tramp.
The tall and thin tramp nodded, and then walked in with everyone.
They came to a room on the third floor of the attic. A middle-aged man in short clothes, whom they knew very well, was sitting quietly in it.
“Father Varo, why are you here?”
a homeless man said in surprise.
As the manager of a charity aid home, his fame among the homeless needless to say.
“The church needs me here, so I am here.”
Varo smiled and said, “I am very happy to see you here. This proves that you are all devout believers of the true God. The true God will bless you, and you will surely be able to go to heaven in the future.”
“Thank you Father for the compliment.”
all the homeless people said one after another.
“I don’t know what the priest needs us to do?”
asked a homeless man.
“I need you to contact more companions. When the army under the crown of the Pope attacks Rome, I hope you can reconcile inside and out and take Rome. The Holy Church will definitely reward you generously, and you will surely win the approval of the true God. ”
Father Varo said.
“No problem, it’s on my body.”
A homeless man thought for a while and said.
“It’s just that we don’t have weapons. I’m afraid it’s not the opponents of the defenders.”
“Don’t worry, we will solve the weapon problem.”
Varo said.
“This is really great.”
“I have prepared some food and drinks for you, and everyone will discuss how to do this while discussing. In addition, I will prepare some activity funds for you. Don’t be stingy when you spend money.”
Varo said with a smile.
There is still activity funding, which is a good thing.
They glanced at the tall and thin tramp, why didn’t they see him put out any funds for activities.
Someone glanced at the tall and thin tramp and found that he was watching his nose and his heart, as if he had never heard of any activity funds.
This **** guy, he must be greedy for the funding of the activity.
“How much is the activity fund?”
someone asked.
“Three dinars per person per day.”
Father Varo said.
The homeless people are very excited, and they didn’t expect to give so much money, so much money is enough for them to eat every day until they die.
“Please rest assured, the priest, this matter is covered by us.”
“I, Orus, can definitely recruit 10 people for you.”
“……”
all the homeless people said one after another.
Varo looked at them with a smile. At this moment, someone brought a large amount of food. Looking at the delicious delicacies that exuded the fragrance, the homeless people were so excited that they even drooled out.
They usually want to be full, not to mention these delicious wines and dishes.
For a while, everyone turned into a starving ghost and reincarnated. Thinking of these meals, they certainly agreed to Varro’s orders.

Florence, where tens of thousands of cavalry are resting.
After receiving Livy’s order, Bellieus immediately crossed the Rubicon with more than 40,000 cavalry and entered the Italian mainland.
In addition to the cavalry they already have, there are 10,000 Gaul cavalry.
There are welcomes and guards in various cities along the way, but Belieus did not care about them, but went south at full speed.
After learning that Belieus was leading the army to go south, Brutim immediately went north, and finally ran into them here.
“Katilin has learned about your southward move. He sent three legions back to Rome, together with the original forces. At present, Rome has a total of 4 legions of defenders.”
Brutim said.
“I didn’t expect them to react so quickly. Originally, I wanted to sneak attack on Rome. It seems that I can only go directly to Dragon City.”
Belieus said.
“In fact, we can take Rome. The church and I secretly mobilized a lot of people in Rome. As long as your army arrives, we should unite inside and outside, and we will be able to take Rome easily.”
Brutim said.
Bellieus couldn’t help frowning, “The task given to me is to save Dragon City first, and leave Rome alone.”
“Dragon City is very safe now. Katilin has repeatedly suffered setbacks in attacking Dragon City. Now even the outermost wall has not been attacked, and there are still two walls inside.”
Brutim said, “Just give me one day, I promise to take Rome. You don’t need to worry about the siege equipment, we are ready.”
After hearing what Brutim said, Belieus was extremely moved.
Of course, the merits of winning the city of Rome will definitely make him famous and lay enough capital for him to become a consul.
He weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed, “Well then, remember that there is only one day. If it exceeds one day, I will immediately go south to Dragon City.”
“This is great, please believe me, we will be able to win Rome.”
Brutim said excitedly.
After agreed, Brutim immediately sent someone back to make arrangements.
The return of Levi’s army shocked the whole of Rome, which showed that he would no longer abide by the Roman law, he would follow the same path as Sula, and he would probably become a dictator for life.
No, his path is completely different from that of Sura, because Sura did not establish the holy religion, and he is not the pope. This is his unique path.
The surrounding area of Rome became turbulent. After days of marching, Belieus’s army finally arrived in Rome.
Blutim’s people also started to take action and arranged for some people to come and meet him with a siege truck, a tortoise-shaped machine, and a ladder.
Longinus was extremely nervous looking at the enemy army under the city wall.
He was extremely terrified of Levi, but fortunately, it was Belieus who felt that he still had the strength to defend Rome.
“Shall we attack the city now?”
Belieus asked.
“Wait, they haven’t acted yet.”
Brutim said.
At this moment, the church and the intelligence team have already taken action.
Thousands of homeless people gathered in a sealed charity rescue home, and a church member dressed as a civilian was distributing weapons for them.
These weapons are very crude, with short swords, but more of them are long spears. Only some officers of the intelligence team can receive full body armor and steel swords.
After receiving the weapon, they wrapped a white cloth strip on their left arm to distinguish them from the enemy, and then walked towards the western wall under the leadership of the members of the intelligence team.
In addition, some very devout believers walked out of the house with weapons. Under the organization of the church, they first gathered into a huge team, and then walked towards the west of the city.
It didn’t take long for some soldiers on patrol to discover these abnormalities.
Looking at the oncoming homeless man holding a weapon, a ten-husband strongly resisted the fear in his heart and said, “What do you do?”
The homeless sneered, and then killed them fiercely. Seeing the huge number of homeless men, these soldiers fled in terror.
Sirens sounded all over Rome, and Longinus quickly got the news.
“What did you say? A large number of civilians with weapons came here.”
Longinus said with a shocked look.
“Yes, there are civilians and tramps among them. I don’t know how many people there are, but there are at least thousands of them.”
said a centurion in horror.
Thousands?
Thinking of this, Longinus felt very worried.
If the enemy flanks back and forth, maybe the wall will really be lost.
“We must send someone to stop them.”
Longinus said.
After speaking, he sent two brigade to meet the rebels, but he still far underestimated their number.
Those civilians and homeless people walked past the western wall from all directions. Rome is really too big, with a population of eight or nine hundred thousand.
The strength of the 4 legions is very difficult to guard Rome. What’s more, in the face of more than 6000 rebels, some rebels fought fiercely with the enemy who came to intercept.
“Leave some people around them, others hurried to the wall.”
Father Varo said loudly.
He knew that these people were not as equipped as people, and they might not be their opponents in the end. It was reasonable to go to the city wall as soon as possible.
Some civilians and homeless people bypassed them directly, took advantage of the complex terrain of Subra District, and then slammed into the city wall.
At this moment, some heavily armed soldiers also poured out of nearby civilian houses.
They are all the elites in the intelligence team who are best at assault and kill, and they are also Brutim’s most trusted subordinates.
Those civilians and homeless people were shocked when they saw these people, thinking that they were enemies, and only when they saw their white cloth strips they knew they were their own people.
So under their leadership, they quickly smashed into a group with the enemy on the wall.
“Boom!”
There was a huge explosion in Rome.
“We can attack now.”
Brutim said.
Belieus nodded, and then commanded the army to attack.
A large number of soldiers pushed the tortoise-shaped machine and the ladder slowly towards Rome. The city of Rome was extremely difficult. They thought there was still a hard fight. The Armenians had already opened their bows and arrows and carried out a round against the enemy on the front of the city. Covered shooting.
But soon someone heard the scream of killing inside. It was the Gauls who swiftly lifted the ladder to move and leaned the ladder against the city wall.
Those who climbed up the ladder to the city wall, some places were attacked by the enemy.
The Romans used the iron fork to push the ladder forward, and then the ladder fell to the rear. Some Gauls screamed and fell off the ladder.
But there were some people who were not attacked. When they boarded the wall, they found that the Roman soldiers were fighting with some civilians.
Because of their well-equipped equipment, the Roman soldiers are pressing down on the civilians.
“Come and help us, we are under the crown of the Pope.”
A civilian said in Greek.
The Gauls knew it and immediately killed the Roman soldiers.
Belieus immediately discovered the weak spot on the wall. Under his command, a large number of Gaul soldiers continuously climbed up the wall from those places, and then spread to both sides.
Slowly, there are Gaul soldiers all over the western wall, and their numbers are still increasing.
Facing the huge number of enemies, the defenders were gradually suppressed.
At this time, some elite Roman soldiers also boarded the city wall.
With the addition of these Roman soldiers, the defenders were soon at a disadvantage.
These Roman soldiers are truly experienced in battles. How could these rookie defenders be their opponents, so the defenders were finally defeated.
“How is this possible! How can I lose so fast!”
Longinus said in horror.
Knowing this day, he would persuade Katilin to kill all the believers and tramps.
Seeing that more and more enemies are attacking the city Longinus finally decided to go away.
He knew that the number of enemies was far above him. Since the enemy had already invaded the city, he was defeated.
Seeing such a smooth capture of Rome, Bellierus felt very unbelievable.
But after learning what happened, I took it for granted.
After all, the Shengjiao and the intelligence team have been cultivating here for more than ten years. It is not difficult to understand that there is such a strength.
“We must thoroughly cleanse those nobles and the forces that oppose our knights, and we must not let this happen again.”
Belieus was riding on a tall horse, and his eyes flashed with undisguised killing intent.
“You are right, we must completely and completely eliminate their influence.”
Brutim agreed deeply.
As one of the two giants of the intelligence team in Rome, he has a general understanding of which nobles and knights might have participated in the turmoil.
He not only wants to clean up their families, but also uproot their customers, relatives and friends.
“I will leave this to you.”
Belieus smiled.
“no problem.”
Brutim took a deep breath and said.
He knew that this incident would offend many people and would be hated to their bones by them, but he was willing to do so.
