Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 374 Fort

There was a fierce debate going on in the Hostili synagogue, and one elder after another became red-faced.

"I believe that the governor of Armenia should be severely punished, and it was his invasion that led to the massive Parthian attack on Armenia."

cried Cicero.

Just a few days ago, they received news that the Armenian governor secretly invaded Parthia.

The result was not only a defeat, but also led to Parthia gathering a large army to attack Armenia.

You must know that the Governor of Armenia is a member of Pompey and Crassus. He would not believe it if there was nothing fishy in it.

"No, the Armenian governor had to attack Parthia to protect the property security of the Armenian people. The previous Armenian governor also reported this situation several times. Parthian herdsmen often entered the country to rob things. We repeatedly protested to Parthia. But Parthia always ignored it.”

Another elder said.

"Facing the barbaric Parthians, we must be tough. I think we should form ten legions and expedition to Parthia."

Gabinius said extremely forcefully.

"Whether we should expedition to Parthia, I think we should postpone the discussion. After all, we are dealing with the war in Gaul, and it is not suitable for us to fight on two fronts."

said Cicero.

Looking at the senators under Pompeo who are getting tougher and tougher, the smell of conspiracy has already hit their faces.

"With General Livy here, I think the war in Gaul will be a complete victory, isn't it?"

Gabinius said with a sneer.

What could Cicero say about this? Could he say that he could not win?

"So I think we are fully capable of gathering a large army to expedition to Parthia. I propose that Governor Pompey be the Roman general. He has shown outstanding military talents in fighting Capo, Marius the Younger and others. In addition, He pacified the Spanish war, destroyed the Bosporus, and knows the situation there very well. There is no one more suitable than him."

cried Gabinius.

"You are right. I think Governor Pompey should be the general. I suggest that the Senate vote on this."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"..."

More and more senators agreed with this decision, which made the Cicero people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The fact that so many elders reached a unanimous opinion so quickly was obviously premeditated.

And he didn't expect that Pompey was so ambitious that he even tried to obtain the command of ten legions.

Coupled with the two legions in his hands, the legions in his hands have reached 12 legions. How can they agree?

"I firmly object that whether to go to war should be decided by the citizens' assembly, not the Senate. As for the candidate for the general, I think one should be selected from the existing senators in Rome."

said Cicero.

"Cicero, what do you mean? The Parthians have begun to attack Armenia. How can we sit back and watch our people being slaughtered by the Parthians. We must go to war! We must defend our people! We must defend Rome. dignity!"

One of the senators said impassionedly.

"That's right. Since the Parthians don't take Rome seriously, then destroy it. I suggest that Rome vote on the general selection immediately. I support Governor Pompey."

"..."

While the senators were arguing fiercely, Crassus was a little out of control.

Just a few days ago, they tried their best and finally stole Li Wei's so-called weapon of God.

Unexpectedly, they turned out to be iron shells. What's going on?

Is this what Levi calls the weapon of God?

Crassus felt that something was wrong. Did Li Wei discover something?

Or perhaps Levi's true divine weapon is not these.

Crassus's face was a little gloomy. No matter what happened, as long as it had something to do with the gods, it would always make people feel fearful.

How much more so when it comes to the true God who has repeatedly shown miracles?

Crassus regretted doing the right thing with Li Wei.

But when he thought of what Levi had said that day, he became furious.

No one can tell him to go away! Not even Levi!

Moreover, he also donated a large amount of money to the Holy Church,

I hope the true God can bless him, not just that guy Levi.

Crassus prayed secretly.

At this moment, the consul behind him touched him quietly.

Crassus looked at him with some confusion. At this time, he found that almost all the senators were looking at him.

What did they say just now?

Crassus looked at one of the senators calmly and gave him a questioning look.

The senator understood and said: "Dear consul, now we should go to war with Parthia and let Pompey become the commander for a vote."

"What you said makes sense. Although the consent of the Citizens' Assembly is required to start a war, we can definitely express the attitude of the Senate."

Crassus said calmly.

"I announce that we will formally vote on whether to go to war with Parthia. Pompey will be the commander and he will be authorized to command 10 legions."

The cold wind was howling, and outside Naibo City, a huge military camp that could accommodate 50,000 people for the winter had been set up.

Livi decided to divide his army into two parts, one part was stationed in Nebo City, and the other part was stationed in this military camp.

As for all the Aedui territories he had captured, he gave them up. With his small force, once all the Gauls came to attack, those places couldn't be defended, so it would be better to give them up.

After he defeats the Gauls, those lands will still be his, and he can't run away no matter what.

In a room built of blue bricks in the center of the military camp, red flames burned in the fireplace, making crackling sounds from time to time.

After returning from Vichysona, Lysias immediately came to report in person.

"Report to the general that the Germans do not agree with the alliance, and they also say that they will go to war with us. It seems that they are not calling the shots, but another German from the Sbebe tribe."

"The Germanic man's name is Nasuya. He is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He is a general of the Sbebe tribe. It is said that he is Wulfa's younger brother."

Lysias said with some frustration.

"Nasuya? Wufa's younger brother?"

Levi said with a frown.

"That's right, the Arudes people now completely obey the command of General Sbebe. They may have surrendered to Wufa."

Lysias said.

There's something wrong with this history, Levi thought to himself.

It seems that his little wings are becoming more and more powerful, and the storm he stirs up is already a Category 10 hurricane.

After his slaves returned, they almost unified Germany and became the king of Germany.

If there is another Seven Great Haters, and then leads the Germans south, this will be the Western version of Nurhaci.

"Naisua said that Wufa has decided to send hundreds of thousands of troops across the Rhine. They will join forces with the Gauls to deal with us together. He also said..."

At this point, he hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, just tell me what you have to say."

Levi said with a smile.

"He also said that he would twist your head off personally and offer your head to Wufa."

said Lysias indignantly.

He felt very angry when he thought of Nasuya's arrogant tone. Levi had an extremely high status in his heart, but Nasuya dared to insult him.

"It seems that there is someone who cares about me very much. After all these years, I still can't forget what happened back then."

Levi said with a smile.

Aren't you the same? Lysias secretly complained that he did not believe that there was no reason why Livy decided to expedition to Germany.

"It doesn't matter, let them come if they want. You have to believe in the weapons given to us by the true God. No matter how many enemies there are, they will not be our opponents."

Levi said.

Although Li Wei was like this, Lysias was still a little worried. If the two parties joined forces, would it be an army of 1.3 million or an army of 1.4 million?

Just thinking about that terrible amount made Lysias feel numb.

With so many armies, let alone these 12 legions, it would be extremely difficult for Rome as a whole to cope with them.

"You don't seem to believe that we can win?"

Levi said with a smile, he saw the worry in Lysias's eyes.

"How is this possible?"

Lysias quickly denied it.

"Follow me and I'll show you what I've prepared for the enemy."

Levi said with a smile, and then left here with Lysias.

Except for a few buildings, the military camp is almost complete, especially the winter stables and the soldiers' dormitories.

These are the ones most chosen to be built to cope with possible cold winters.

Li Wei took him to the wall of the military camp. The wall of the military camp was still made of mud. Li Wei had no intention of building it into a masonry structure.

Because that would outweigh the gains and losses. If the Gauls' army really came, these walls would not be of much use at all. By then they would probably leave the city to pursue the enemy.

Just 10 meters behind the wall, there is a masonry room 10 meters wide, 20 meters long, and about 3 meters high.

What's special about this room is that its walls are very thick, a full meter thick.

Levi built it so thick because he was worried about accidents during launch.

A straw shed was built above the room to protect it from wind and rain, and a huge counterweight trebuchet was placed in this room.

Some craftsmen are building a smaller room dedicated to storing stone bullets.

After seeing Li Wei's arrival, the craftsmen saluted one after another.

A centurion, a craftsman, came over and said, "General, how do you think we built it?"

Levi nodded, "Not bad. Have you conducted experiments to see if those city walls will affect the launch of stone bullets?"

"Absolutely not. We have conducted a lot of experiments and stone bullets of all weights can be fired over the city wall to a distance of 90 Roman steps outside the wall."

The centurion said.

"That's good. All counterweight trebuchet turrets will be built like this in the future. Build one for me every 70 steps, and I will personally accept it when the time comes."

Levi said.

"As you command, General."

The centurion said quickly.

fort? what is that?

Lysias found himself exposed to a new word.

After giving them a few instructions, Levi took Lysias and left here.

"General, is this where the weapons of God are used?"

Lysias said softly.

Levi looked around and found that only a few Guards soldiers were following them.

So he whispered: "Yes, remember to keep it confidential."

Just thinking about the explosion effect of hundreds of kilograms of black powder and fifty kilograms of pebbles is a sour feeling.

By the way, he can also place a large number of pebbles outside the military camp, which will have a better effect.

Lysias nodded quickly, he was very grateful for Levi's trust.

He knew that almost all the Guards had been transferred to a place for secret training, and a vast no-man's land was designated there.

A large number of cavalry surrounded it layer by layer. Except for Li Wei, anyone who came close would only die. No one was exempted.

Lysias was really curious about the weapon of God, so he continued to ask: "Is the weapon of God thrown by a trebuchet?"

"Throwing a trebuchet is only the most inferior method. As long as Rome is bathed in the glory of the true God, the range of God's weapons will become farther and farther. Its range can reach several Romans, dozens of Romans, or even thousands of miles. Rome. It’s just that our technology is too backward and we won’t see that day at all.”

Levi said with a sigh.

Lysias couldn't help but gasped, thousands of Roman miles?

Didn’t they fight all the way from Rome to India?

Is the weapon of God really that powerful?

Lysias had some doubts about this.

"I heard you're writing a book about me?"

Levi asked.

"This...yes."

Lysias said a little embarrassed.

"Write what I just said above, remember not to miss a word."

Levi said.

"Okay, Prophet."

Lysias said quickly.

Li Wei thought about it for a while, whether he should write a book like "Tui Bei Tu" with a few words: Those who lurk are not fish, and those who fly are not birds.

This seemed to be very beneficial to the spread of the Holy Religion. Thinking of this, he decided to write a book. It wouldn't take much time anyway.

The two were discussing various scenarios that might happen next. At this moment, a team that looked a bit dusty and simple stopped in front of Li Wei.

This made everyone a little stunned. Someone actually stopped Li Wei here.

Then a handsome Celtic soldier stood out from the crowd and looked at Levi quietly.

After seeing him (her) clearly, Levi opened his mouth in surprise: "Mo Ni...Mei? Why are you here? And dressed like this."

Monimee didn't say anything. She looked excited. Then, like a baby swallow, she pounced on Li Wei and clamped Li Wei tightly with a pair of fiery long legs.

"do you miss me?"

Monimee said.

"Of course, I think about it every day."

Levi said.

"Take me to your room and I want you to prove your word."

Monimi said with a bright smile.

"Next time, don't go into the military camp again. This makes me very embarrassed."

Levi said with a wry smile.

As a commander in chief, he understood the serious consequences of a woman entering the military camp.

"I understand, so I dressed up like this."

Monimee said.

Seeing this, Lysias and the others still didn't understand what was going to happen, so they all found excuses to leave.

Levi looked around and found that some soldiers were looking at him strangely.

This made him curse secretly, there shouldn't be any damn rumors in a few days.

Levi quickly asked her to get off him, and then took her to his room.

Guards soldiers were guarding the door outside, but a real battle had begun inside.

(The River Scorpion God looked at this quietly, and then omitted 3,000 words...)
