v8 Chapter 200： Persuasion (1)

After listening to Daves, the general of the General of Hernigen, Nehri, no longer hesitated. He asked: "His majesty the king, if the Equis and the Masi also ask for an alliance with your Dionia, Will you agree?"

Daves thought about it. He remembered that the Equis and the Masi were tempted by the Prinister rebellion last year. They joined the Wolsey and the Helsinki to invade Rome and were defeated by Camilos. Then, during the year when the Roman army conquered the Helsinkis, the two races rescued them again, and they suffered a fiasco and their strengths were severely weakened. They hoped to form an alliance with Dionia, and I am afraid to eliminate fears and guarantees. Territorial security, after all, the rumors of Dionya's observance of the covenant have been confirmed in Wolsey and the Helsinki.

"I am very welcome!" Daphus smiled and said: "I don't just hope that the Marx and Equi people can form an alliance with Dionia. I hope that other forces around Rome can also become allies of Dionia! ”

..........................................

At the end of the battle, Davers did not invite the leaders of the Wohe coalition to enter the Roman city for a banquet. On the one hand, the Wolsey people are eager to rush back to their defensive territory to prevent the Romans from revenge; on the other hand, Davers also considered the feelings of the people in Rome. Therefore, he distributed most of the spoils (mainly armor and weapons) he had obtained to the Wohe coalition soldiers, and they were grateful.

In this battle, in addition to the Wohe coalition forces to pay some casualties, the loss of the Dionyrian army can be neglected, the Roman army has not many casualties, but they have nearly 2,000 people captured, the worst is Latin Allied forces, they have more than 4,000 people captured.

Most of the Roman soldiers have successfully fled back to Villitre. It seems that the loss of the Roman army is not very large, but the defeat of this battle is another blow to the prestige of the Romans in the alliance, especially wearing Onia also captured so many Latin soldiers, so after the end of the battle, Daves did not let Plintos withdraw the siege troops to Rome, but also the fourth and sixth legions were also returned to Lintons, let him step up and attack the city of Gaby, and get it as soon as possible.

Dave, who returned to Rome with the joy of victory, called Pubrius and gave him an important task: to persuade the Romans on Capitolin Hill!

And also promised to him: If the Romans on the mountain dare to hurt him, Dionia will let the people on the whole mountain bury him! Regardless of whether he persuaded him to succeed or not, he will become the new veteran of the Kingdom of Dionia, and he will speak for the rights of the Roman citizens of the Kingdom in the Senate.

To this end, Publius made a careful preparation, and took the shackles the next day, boarded the Capitoline Mountain, and he took a Roman aristocrat who lived in the city of Vito, and was captured. The Roman soldier who was captured in the battle yesterday was also a nobleman.

After the Roman soldiers received the order, they opened the gate, and Pubrius, who had been waiting for a long time under the mountain, stepped into the mountainside of Capitolin. The Roman patrol soldiers who passed through all looked at him with strange eyes, and even some people verbally abused. He was psychologically prepared, pretending not to hear, followed by the leader soldiers, while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

The Romans used Capitoline as the acropolis because it is the highest hill in the city of Rome. The mountainside is steep and the top of the mountain is flat and the trees are so lush. The Romans think this is a gift from the gods. I must have lived in such a beautiful place, so I built the main temple on the top of the mountain.

However, after Publius went up the mountain, he was shocked by what he saw along the way: in less than 20 days, the trees in the mountains were cut down mostly, and the bare hills were covered with simple wooden houses and tents, countless ragged clothes. The people are lying in the middle of each other, all of them have dishes, and they are blind.

Along the way, Pubrius recognized many acquaintances, all of whom were civilians living in the hills of Sileo and Werner, either diners of the great aristocrats or civilians who had settled in Rome for generations. In the past, most of them were powerful helpers used by the nobility to deal with other civilians. At this moment, they were hugged with their wives and children. Seeing that he was only turning his eyes, he was reluctant to wave his hand and say hello. Waste... Seeing these horrors, Publius once again firmly believes that it was a very correct decision to lead the family to the Kingdom of Dionia!

Waiting until the top of Capitolin, the temple should be a solemn temple. The courtyard is also crowded with people who have escaped from the mountains. Not only does the quiet and clean sacred courtyard messy and dirty, but the air is still filled with Unpleasant smell.

Seeing this, Pubrius had a anger in his heart and a bit of sorrow, so when some nobles recognized him and learned that he came to negotiate as a messenger of Dionia, he was all against him. Loudly insulted and spurned, and even rushed up to beat him, but those who did not eat enough, walked and swayed, could not break the protection of the guards.

Publius did not put them in his eyes, but turned back to pity.

Finally the soldiers took him to the apse of the Temple of Jupiter.

"Please come in, the messenger of Deonia!" The captain deliberately said the word "Diaonia" very heavyly, in order to show his contempt for Pubulius.

Publius took a deep breath and strode into the hall.

"You still have a face here, Publius Manlius, the patriarch of one of Rome's most brilliant clan, you abandoned the glory of your ancestors, tarnished the reputation of your family, shamelessly turned to Rome. The enemy, now dare to step into this sacred hall, the angry Jupiter will be severely punished for you!"

Publius heard the man who said this was Marugin Nessis, if he used to talk to the prestigious old veteran before, because he was the most determined to demand the execution of Marcus. The supporters, even with the Manlius clan, couldn’t look pleasing to the eye, but they sneered at it, but today, Puelius looked straight at him, glaring at him, feeling calm: "Today, I am wearing The messenger of Onia, the king of Dionia sent me to discuss things with you, and there is no need to talk about other nonsense."

"Crap?!" Maruji Neensis was even more angry. He suddenly stood up and shouted at Pubrius: "Do you know why you are coming in?! That's because we have to punish Marr like that year." Cous is treating you as a traitor! Come here!"

With this scream, two imposing guards came in.

Publius immediately felt nervous. He tried to calm himself and shouted: "Kill me?! Then you have to do all the people on this mountain and other Romes captured by Dionia. The nobility is ready for my funeral!"

There was a commotion in the shrine.

"Pubrius, you don't have to threaten us! After your body falls off the cliff and falls into a meat sauce, it will not take long for the Dionyns you will be led by Camillaus. The army defeated, we will return to the city below, and reorganize the post-war Rome, just like that year!" Abilius immediately got up and shouted loudly to inspire people.

Publius laughed: "You are still doing a dream of returning to Rome! I suggest that you ask me now, two people who brought me up the mountain, De Simus. Julius Bruce. You are very familiar. More than ten years ago, he took the initiative to ask for a family and moved to Vai. This is a big news in Rome at the time. Now he will tell you, 'How quickly the Dionyns captured Kay Sreila and Victoria City, then captured him'.

Another person, you are more familiar with Maruji Neensis, Domijos Komenellius Sheila, this is your younger ancestor, formerly the squadron leader in the army led by Camillaus. He will tell you, 'How did Camillaus's army be defeated many times, and now these defeated soldiers will retreat to Satnikum, and they are afraid that the Dionyrian army will attack them! ‘...”

When Pubrius said this, the whole venue was like a frying pan, and the argument rose. Rome has been in recession for more than 20 days. In addition to fighting in the evening of the evening, the city of Rome has remained calm. After a day, the veterans have had a bad feeling in their hearts, but they did not expect the situation to be so bad. .

"...lie! This is a lie!..." Abilius screamed in a hurry, but it was obviously lacking.

"I don't care what happens outside As a traitor, you should be punished the most severely!" Maruji Neensis said after a shock at the beginning, he still said with a strong tone.

Publius avoided his threatening eyes and looked around at the Roman veterans who were talking about them. The horror on their faces made him feel calm. He took a breath and said: "In this case, there are all The Roman nobles accompanied me to death, and I have no regrets, come on!" He said, he waved at the two guards and then turned and walked outside the hall.

"Wait a minute!" Someone in the veteran shouted.

The tension of Pubrius was suddenly loose, and he slowly turned around.

"You are a messenger of the Day of Denia. Is there anything to do with us here?" Pottyus asked aloud.

Publius looked at him and looked at Marugin Nessis next to him, as well as other veterans who looked around with eccentricities. This was said in a hurry: "From the current situation, Rome The city fell, Kasera, Wei Ai, Yu Di Nai, Gabi have also been captured by Dionia, the 70,000 army led by Camilos may now have only 10,000 people left, hiding in Saturni The city of Qom is lingering, and Rome is no longer Roman of Rome, now or in the future!"
