Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 405 Gift sword

The next day, when the sky was just getting dark, Li Wei opened his eyes.

The golden sunlight shot into the room, shining on Emilia. At this moment, she looked very lazy and charming.

At this time, her long hair was draped on the pillow, like a cat shrinking in Li Wei’s arms.

Li Wei got up gently from the bed, but unexpectedly awakened her.

“You are up.”

Emilia sat up and said.

“Yes, there are still many things to deal with today.”

Li Wei said.

“I always thought it was easy to be a leader, but I didn’t expect to have to bear so much pressure.”

Emilia said with a small mouth.

She regretted the pressure she had endured over the years. She had known it so that she didn’t want to care about these things.

“Actually, you have done a good job.”

Li Wei said, what else can he ask for if he can completely hand over the Dragon City to him?

Emilia couldn’t help rolling her eyes, do you look down on people?

After putting on the clothes, Li Wei and Emilia came outside.

At this time, a large number of generals and veterans gathered here. Li Wei’s return made them completely relieved, and they all chatted happily.

After seeing Li Wei, they stopped, and then gave Li Wei a salute.

“See under the crown of the Pope.”

“See under the crown of the Pope.”

“……”

Li Wei nodded, said a few words to them, and then came to a meeting room with Lucias, Serrabio and others.

“What do you plan to do next after this battle? Do you want to be a dictator for life?”

Serabio asked.

“This… I actually don’t want to be it.”

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

The lifelong dictator and the pope are still a bit low after all.

“But for the sake of the development of the sacred religion, I decided to stay for a few years.”

He hopes that Rome will quickly enter the age of holy religion, so that he can do what he likes.

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became weird, and Li Wei finally embarked on the road of life-long dictator.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Didn’t Katilin escape last night?”

Li Wei asked.

“No, some soldiers ran away and were finally caught by us. There was no Katilin among them.”

Getta said.

“This is a shame.”

Li Wei said.

He had hoped that Katilin would escape at night, so that he would save the effort of siege.

“It seems we can only attack the city honestly.”

Li Wei said.

Everyone nodded. They were very familiar with siege. Li Wei just ordered a few words and they took action.

finally decided to attack from four directions. Of course, only one was a strong attack, and all the others were feint attacks.

Katilin stood on the wall of Kapuya, his face looked a little disappointed.

The enemy in the distance had already acted and started to fill the trench, but he didn’t seem to see it.

“Why don’t you escape? You know we can’t keep it. You guard Muse escaped early.”

Manlius sighed and said.

“I am not reconciled. I am the Roman ruler appointed by the gods. I don’t believe I will lose to Li Wei.”

Katilin said, “Also, Menmuse can escape to Pompey to be his brother-in-law. What’s the point of my escape there? Be their lackey.”

He is a lifelong dictator like Sura, how would he want to live under Pompey and Crasu?

“But Li Wei is also the spokesperson of the true **** in the world, we can’t underestimate him.”

“……”

“I believe that the gods will bless me. They appointed me to be the ruler of Rome. I really succeeded. They will definitely bless me to defeat Li Wei!”

Katilin said frantically.

Manlius looked at him speechlessly, facing a man who entrusted all his hopes to the gods, what can you expect?

At this time, the morale of the Roman army under him was low, and they looked at a loss. You don’t need to guess what will happen next.

He regrets a bit, maybe last night he should have escaped overnight while they were not encircled.

It didn’t take long for the Roman soldiers outside to fill in trenches one after another, and then set up a trebuchet.

But the trebuchets on the city walls became powerful, and huge stones were thrown out by them, making their efforts to build the trebuchets failed.

There was a flush of flush on Katirin’s face. As long as the enemy’s trebuchet was destroyed, they would still have a chance to defend Kapuya.

And Menmuse said that Pompeo came back soon with an army.

He only needs to guard until Pompey returns.

In desperation, Li Wei’s soldiers had to abandon the assembly of the trebuchet, and then dig a zigzag trench.

Katilin was very puzzled about the enemy’s behavior, what did they mean.

Arrows rained down the city wall, and a large number of arrows were shot at the soldiers who were digging trenches.

But because the direction of the trenches was oblique, and they piled all the excavated soil to the front, blocking the arrows, resulting in the arrows not hurting them at all.

Besides, they also threw a grenade.

The same grenade is either blocked by those mounds or crossed the trenches, and it can cause very few damage.

In desperation, Katilin can only order them to stop these useless behaviors.

The soldiers under the city wall approached the city wall through the zigzag trenches, and finally dug out one by one individual trenches in the trenches.

At this moment, a famous grenadier entered the individual trench, and then one after another ignited grenades flew above the city wall.

“Not good! Be careful!”

Manlius said, and then he rushed to Katilin and pressed him under him.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“……”

One after another grenade exploded, turning the wall into a sea of ​​flames.

shrapnel flew around, shock waves raged.

Katilin feels like a small boat in the sea, which may capsize at any time.

When the shock wave stopped, Katilin spit out a mouthful of blood.

He glanced at the corpse that was pressing on himself, and his face became horrified.

“Manlius, how are you? Don’t die!”

At this time, Manlius was covered in blood, and there was an unknown amount of shrapnel on his body.

A mouthful of blood was spit out from his mouth, looking at Katilin, he said with a sad expression: “You have to…be careful, I guess…you have to…no more, thank you for letting…I be a cavalry… .”

As he talked, his hand dropped weakly.

“Asshole! Li Wei, you die for me!”

Katilin said frantically.

At this time, some undead soldiers rushed up and threw him off.

They knew that the enemy would definitely throw grenade again, and staying on the wall at this time was looking for death.

“Where are our grenadiers? Let them fight back!!”

Katilin roared.

The grenadiers on the wall immediately threw grenades down, but their casualties were too great.

Someone’s grenade was blocked by the mound, and some bombs exploded without hurting the grenadier who hid in the protruding part.

couldn’t cause much damage to the enemy at all, the two sides kept throwing, and soon the grenadier on the wall collapsed.

Some of them were killed directly, and some hurriedly ran under the city wall.

“What are you doing? Go up and blow them up for me!”

Katilin rushed to a grenadier who fled under the wall and said.

“I……”

The grenadier was crying, but how could he be caught by Katilin.

“You coward, die for me.”

Katilin scolded, and he lifted his dagger and pierced his chest.

A large amount of blood shot out from his chest, the grenadier glanced at him in disbelief, and finally fell unwillingly.

Seeing that the city wall fell into silence, under Li Wei’s order, a large number of siege vehicles and ladders stepped forward and leaned against the city wall.

Some Roman soldiers hid in the siege vehicle and hacked the city wall with axe, trying to cut a gap for the installation of explosives.

Those Gaul soldiers climbed up the city wall with ladders, and fought **** battles with the enemy who had just ascended the city wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Roman soldiers below set up a trebuchet again.

Li Wei stood in the distance watching all this quietly, and said softly: “If nothing happens, we can take Capua today.”

“That’s right.”

Lucias said.

The emergence of gunpowder greatly changed the siege mode, and it was obvious that Katilin still failed to adapt to this mode.

Both sides continued to gather forces on the wall, the wall almost became a meat grinder, and a large number of Romans and Gauls were killed on the wall.

After a difficult battle, the Romans finally drove the Gauls.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“……”

At this time, the explosives under the city wall exploded, blasting a gap in the city wall.

The catapult quickly threw out shells, and the grenadiers in the trench also threw grenades.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“……”

The sound of explosions on the city wall one after another, almost completely washed away the Roman soldiers on the wall and behind.

Katilin looked at all this almost desperately, and the loud horn sounded again outside the city wall.

A large number of German soldiers rushed down immediately, and then poured in from the gap and the city wall. The enemy soldiers were everywhere in Katilin’s sight.

Many Roman soldiers were terrified, but in the end they mustered up the courage to start fighting under the command of the officer. The two sides fought fiercely.

“we won.”

Li Wei said.

The generals nodded, and some even started to slap Li Wei’s flattery.

The number of their troops far exceeds that of the enemy, and there is really no reason to fail.

The development of the matter did not exceed Li Wei’s expectations. After a day of **** battle, they finally conquered Capua.

A large number of Roman soldiers surrendered, and then someone brought Katilin’s body to Li Wei.

“How did he die?”

Li Wei asked.

“Lizhan was killed.”

said a German soldier.

“Forget it, let someone be buried.”

Li Wei sighed and said, the civil war has finally come to an end, and Rome will open a new page next.

***

***

The cross flag is flying on the walls of the Vatican.

Li Wei waved to the people under the city wall, and those believers excitedly shouted various slogans.

It has been more than half a month since the defeat of Cattilin. Li Wei returned to Rome and performed his third triumphal style. Finally, he gathered three triumphal epic achievements for the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.

Moreover, Rome has added four provinces: Gaul, Upper Germania, Lower Germania and Greater Germania. Levy finally achieved that more than half of the Roman territory was laid down by him.

Coupled with the constant fermentation of god-given weapons, the coronation of the pope and other things, Li Wei’s reputation in Rome has once again reached its peak.

Every day, believers come to worship from all over the place, which makes Li Wei a little embarrassed.

It’s just a pity that now he is going to do something that they don’t like.

After returning to his room, some of his cadres have been waiting for a long time, because tomorrow he plans to hold a meeting of the Senate, and he will become Rome’s dictator for life.

Caesar pulled away the chair with great enthusiasm, then wiped the invisible dust with his hands, and smiled delightedly on his face: “Under the crown of the Pope, please sit down.”

Li Wei glanced at him indifferently, and sighed insignificantly at the same time. If it weren’t for Menmuse to be caught while running away, he couldn’t believe that Caesar had become like this.

“Thank you, Caesar.”

Li Wei smiled and sat down.

“No, this is what I should do. It is my honor to be able to serve the true God’s spokesperson in the world.”

Caesar said with a smile.

Li Wei glanced at him deeply, “If only you could really think so.”

Caesar’s face changed slightly, “What do you mean?”

Li Wei untied his saber and handed it to him.

“From today, this sword will be yours.”

Caesar looked at him suspiciously, what does Li Wei mean.

But Getta seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed drastically.

“I once gave Sura a sword of this kind, in addition to Pompey and Cedoliu. Do you know why?”

Li Wei said.

“Of course I know, because you said that they will be peerless generals, don’t I…”

Caesar said excitedly.

How could he not know, these things had been going viral in Rome, especially Sedorius.

When Li Wei gave the sword, he was just an ordinary judge, and he didn’t show the qualifications of a famous general.

It is Li Weihui who knows the bead, and at a glance he believes that he will become a famous player. Later, his performance in Spain also confirmed Li Wei’s judgment.

“Yes, all these are the teachings of the true god. The true **** knows everything and is omnipotent, so I can know many things in advance.”

Li Wei said with a smile.

Everyone present recalled what happened in those years, and once again felt immense admiration for the omniscience of the true God.

“I once owed someone this famous sword, and I don’t want to owe you anymore. You have the potential to become a greater general than Pompey, but for some reason, your talents may be buried, or even lost. Everyone. This is what I owe you. No matter what your future is, you are worthy of this sword.”

Li Wei said.

Caesar’s face kept changing, how could he feel that this didn’t seem like a good thing.

As if he might become a great person, he was finally smashed by Li Wei.

“Sit down.”

Li Wei said.

Caesar Yiyan sat down, and the others gave him a weird look.

With Li Wei’s evaluation today, Caesar will surely become famous, and his prestige will surpass the average veteran.

“Everyone, the esteemed chief elder Catullus has sent someone to inform me that he has agreed to nominate me as a life-long dictator, so you must go all out on the matter of the Senate tomorrow.”

Li Wei said.

“Please be assured that the Pope is crowned, the Senate is now ours, and it is a certainty that you will become a life-long dictator.”

Cicero said with a smile.

Seeing that the former supporter of the Republic, the father of the lawyer, became a supporter of the dictator because of Li Wei, Li Wei had to sigh the wonder of the world.

“Then who will become the chief of the cavalry? This matter must be settled now.”

Sailabio said.

The cavalry chief is the most important post besides the dictator. When the support of the Senate is obtained, he can even fight against the dictator and not obey the order of the dictator. Naturally, its importance is beyond doubt.

Hearing this, Getta and Belieus glanced at each other, and then avoided each other’s gaze.

Among them, Geta has the oldest qualifications, and he is the old superior of those old patriarchs and retainers. It can be said that he is the second person in the Li Wei Group.

Belieus has been chasing Li Weinan to fight in the North, often commanding cavalry to fight, and the qualifications are sufficient. Only the two of them can compete for this position.

There was a faint smile on Li Wei’s face, “Lysias, how about you do this position?”

Getta and Belieus’ faces changed drastically. They didn’t expect that Li Wei would let Lysias be the cavalry commander.

Lucias was a little flattered, “Can I really?”

“Of course, I believe in your ability.”

Li Wei said with a smile, “And I very much hope that you can hold this position.”

Lucias first glanced at Getta and Belieus with some embarrassment, but his face quickly became firmer.

“Since the Pope has ordered it, of course I will follow it.”

Li Wei nodded, and Lucias really deserved to be the person he valued. Maybe if he looked at it again, he could designate him as the next pope.

Next, we discussed about the affairs of the Senate. Getta and Belieus were a little absent during the whole process, but Li Wei did not comfort them, but decided to explain to them in private.

“In addition to this, there is one more thing. The believers of the Holy Religion have suffered a great loss in this matter. How should we compensate them? There are also some radical Roman believers who have done something against the believers of the Holy Religion. Good thing shall we put them on trial.”

Old Anius said.

Li Wei pondered for a while. This fact is too sensitive. If it is not handled properly, Rome might really be torn apart.

Although the Holy Religion has a great advantage in Campania and Rome, in many other areas, the traditional Roman Theological Religion still occupies a great advantage. Levy is very clear about this.

“We should indeed compensate the believers of the true God, who have been treated extremely unfairly. I decided to impose an additional tax on pagans in all provinces except Italy at a rate of three percentage points, except for the Holy Church and the Roman Catholic Church. All pagans are required to pay this tax. These taxes will be used to establish special mission schools for the Holy Church and teach Roman citizens all kinds of knowledge.”

Li Wei said.

Everyone thought for a while, 3 percentage points said it was not too much, but it was not too much, but I didn’t expect that Li Weilian would let those believers of Roman theology.

“As for those who persecute our believers, they should be dealt with in accordance with Roman law, not too heavy or too light.”

Li Wei said.

“Mian under the benevolence.”

Serrabio said sincerely.

Li Wei smiled slightly, he believed that time was on his side.

He only needs to wait quietly, and the whole of Rome will become the possession of the Holy Church.
