Chapter 402
Chapter 401 With the country
On the same day, Katilin sent a large number of soldiers to arrest priests and nuns everywhere, causing a lot of riots. Mobile https://
In a charity hospital, a large number of soldiers wanted to take a priest in front of many homeless people, but they were stopped by many homeless and impoverished people.
“What are you doing?”
A homeless man asked angrily.
“On the order of Katilin, the dictator for life, arrest all priests and nuns, and then expel them from Rome.”
Said a centurion headed.
“How can you do this? This priest is a respectable person. The holy religion is also a kind religion. How can you do this to them?”
Another homeless man also said.
“The holy religion denies the gods of Rome. This is its greatest original sin. And you had better withdraw from the holy religion within 10 days, or get out of Rome for me.”
The centurion said fiercely.
Seeing those homeless people still talking, the priest quickly said: “Please stop persuading everyone. The growth of a religion is destined to be a history of suffering, and the sacred religion is no exception. This is a tribulation to the sacred religion, and it is also true to God. Our test. I hope that you will keep in mind the principles of Takia, disguise your beliefs well, and keep your useful body. The great Pope will surely regain Rome, and you will need your help at that time.”
The centurion almost got his nose crooked by anger. Of course he knows what the Takia principle is. When religion is under irresistible power, he can disguise his beliefs and do things that violate the doctrine. To be forgiven by the true god.
“Quickly follow me and stop talking nonsense here.”
Said the centurion, and took him out of here.
He decided to report the matter up, and how to resolve it is up to the top to decide.
The priest has a plain face, like a hero who is about to die.
The homeless and impoverished people watched the priest leave here with tears in their eyes. They are going to have nothing to eat again. What can be done?
The same thing happened not only in charity homes, but also at church gates, church schools, and major orphanages.
The whole of Rome is almost messed up. Some people find that they have to beg again, some find that they can’t get breakfast in the morning, and some find that their children can’t go to school.
Ten years have passed since Li Wei ordered the establishment of a missionary school. Ten years are enough for the original students to graduate and reach adulthood, and another generation of students will join the missionary school.
We must know that the average age of Romans is only about 30 years old. It can be said that church schools are almost related to the vital interests of every Roman citizen.
Although many nobles died in the Surah Rebellion of more than ten years, it did not really harm the interests of citizens, and many citizens even made a fortune in it.
But this time Katilin’s order really hurt almost all Roman citizens, and even caused them to lose food, which made them hate Katilin and others to the bone.
When Menmuse took to the streets, he found that the Roman citizens looked at him with indifference and hatred.
Especially some homeless people, look at them as if they are going to kill them.
There are fewer and fewer people on the Civic Square. No one wants to listen to the speeches of the elders. Even if some people want to listen, they are some free people and slaves.
This worries Menmuse, but he didn’t expect that the Holy Religion has really achieved the same body with the country.
Unless the civil class in Rome is completely eradicated, the Holy Religion will never be eliminated.
Is it just that he can do this?
Rome is the Rome of Roman citizens. The history of Rome is the history of the city of Rome, the history of the city’s conquest of its country. There is a very famous history book called “Beginning with the Founding of the City”.
If the civic class of Rome is completely eradicated, is Rome still the Rome he is proud of?
Thinking of this, Menmuse gave a wry smile.
What happened in Rome quickly spread to Dragon City, and the old Anius was already outraged. Someone dared to deal with the holy religion in this way.
Emilia is also very angry. As members of the Holy Family, of course they have to do their best to protect the Holy Church.
And the **** Menmuse dared to tease them. It was obvious that Pompeo and Krasu were fully supporting Cattilin, and they even dared to hide behind and pretend to know nothing.
With the unanimous decision of everyone, the church carried out a general mobilization.
Priests everywhere agitated the believers everywhere. A large number of believers brought their own armor and food to form a crusade to Dragon City, which made the strength of Dragon City skyrocket again.

In the palace of the Kingdom of Numidia, King Hypsar handed the letter of assistance signed jointly by Emilia, Yulia and others to his ministers.
After seeing it, the ministers were all talking about it, but they didn’t expect such a big event to happen in Rome.
“Everyone, what do you think I should do? Do you need to send soldiers to support them?”
Hypsar asked.
Rome’s internal affairs are not so interfering, he has never forgotten how his throne came.
“Of course it must be sent. Now that the Holy Church has God-given weapons, how could Katilin be the opponent of the Holy Church.”
Said a minister.
“That’s right. Although Li Wei is far away in Britain, he has a lot of troops in his hands. Coupled with the Gauls and Germans, I believe that the final victory must belong to him.”
Said another minister.
The ministers spoke one after another, basically supporting Li Wei.
Their cavalry took part in the battle between Gaul and German, and of course they knew the terrible power of weapons given by gods.
Hypsar nodded repeatedly, “In this case, we will send 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to Rome to support Dragon City.”
In the port of Ijuus in Gaul, Li Wei’s expedition to Britain’s logistics base.
The **** atmosphere here has not yet dissipated. After learning that the Morini and the Britons were colluding, Li Wei immediately sent people back to let them clean the local Morini.
After a fight, the local Morini were defeated. Except for those who died in battle, all the others were sold as slaves. Since then, there will be no Morini.
After receiving the letter from Rome for help, Bellierus and Anius were extremely shocked. It was shocking that Cattilin became a dictator for life.
“We must send someone a notice as soon as possible to let him lead his army back to Rome.”
Anius said.
“That’s right, we should also draw elites from Gaul and Germanic departments and go to Rome together.”
Bellierus said.
Anius has no opinion on this. Li Wei is their protector. At this time, when will they not contribute?
“I sent people to various ethnic groups to tune in elites, and then led them to Shannan Gaolu. You sent people to Britain to inform you of this news.”
Bellierus said.
“Ok.”
After the two people agreed, Belieus immediately sent a large number of cavalry to the various races to send messages, so that they sent troops and food to prepare for the south to Rome.
He led all the cavalry and three Roman legions to Shannan Gaul to prepare for the attack on Rome.

There is a stone fort hidden in a forest in Britain, which is now surrounded by Roman soldiers.
More than a dozen trebuchets are located outside the 70 Roman steps of Shibao, in addition to a large number of siege vehicles and ladders.
“Under the crown, everything is ready.”
Lucias said respectfully.
“Then order the soldiers to attack.”
Li Wei said.
“Yes, submissive.”
Lycias said.
After receiving Li Wei’s order, the soldiers immediately pushed the siege vehicle forward, and some soldiers followed them with ladders.
Those trebuchet soldiers decisively smashed the percussion hammer, and one shell after another passed the city wall, and then slammed into the stone fort.
“boom!”
“boom!”
“…”
There were bursts of violent explosions, black clouds of smoke went up into the sky, shrapnel flew everywhere, and shock waves raged.
One after another screams immediately sounded in the stone castle. This was the first time they had come into contact with the catapult shells, and the terrifying power of the shells frightened them all.
Some grenadiers followed the siege vehicle. After entering the range, with the help of the siege vehicle, they threw grenades into the food fort.
Grenades exploded continuously on the city wall, blowing up the British people so much that they retreated from the stone wall.
The soldiers carrying the ladder behind immediately began to accelerate. They leaned the ladder against the city wall, and then climbed onto the city wall through the ladder.
Immediately there was a siege vehicle, and someone stepped directly on the siege vehicle and then boarded the wall of the stone fort.
There was no fierce battle on the wall. The Roman soldiers successfully occupied the wall and advanced into the stone fort.
The fact is not only this battle, but the previous battles were similarly devastating. Facing the attack of the Roman army, the British people had absolutely no power to fight back.
Before long, a big man with a long beard was brought over.
“The sinner Cassivillonus has seen the crown, and the sinner knows that he has committed a serious crime, and I beg for forgiveness.”
The big man just came to Li Wei’s face, he knelt down and cried.
Li Wei glanced at him lightly. It was a group of dramatists who came to beg for mercy if they lost. Why did you go early?
But the Pope’s majesty must be maintained, so he asked: “How are you going to ask for my forgiveness?”
“My clan is willing to offer all the gold and silver, take hostages, kill the Molini messenger, and only ask for the crown to let us go once.”
Cassivilonius said.
“Not enough! Not enough!”
Li Wei said.
“We are willing to convert our clan to the holy religion.”
There was a glimmer of joy in Cassivillon’s eyes, and it seemed that Li Wei was willing to let him go.
Li Wei was silent for a while, and continued: “It’s still not enough.”
“How can I get forgiveness from Mianxia, please show Mianxia.”
Cassivilonius gritted his teeth and said.
Levi pondered, these Britons were like Gauls, rebelling at every turn.
Even after the imperial era, they were extremely restless, and would slaughter the Romans who migrated here once they rebelled.
Is he going to be like the Germans to brutalize these Britons?
Seeing the killing intent flashing in Li Wei’s eyes, Cassivilonius couldn’t help but sweat, did he think he was wrong?
At this moment, a soldier ran over.
“Under the report, Madam’s urgent letter.”
Li Wei couldn’t help frowning, how could there be anxious letters at this time.
After receiving the letter in his hand, Li Wei opened it and read it.
After reading it, his complexion changed drastically. It was a very young age. Katilin actually occupied Rome, and it was very likely to launch an attack on Dragon City.
His face kept changing, and finally said to Cassivillonus: “Kill the priest of your clan too, so that I can let you go.”
“Yes… Mianxia.”
Cassivillonius said with a grim mouth.
Such a kill would probably lose his reputation among the Britons, and other people would never regard him as a leader anymore.
Li Wei ordered the people to stay and clean the battlefield, but he left here with Lucias.
After reading this letter, Lucias couldn’t help being surprised.
“how could this be?”
Yes, I would also like to ask others, Li Wei thought, I am afraid that the epic achievements of the British conquerors may not be completed for the time being.
“I decided to temporarily abandon Britain, withdraw the entire army to Gaul, and then return to Rome.”
Li Wei said.
“Is it really going to be like this? Crossing Rubicon without the Senate’s permission, but…”
Lycias said.
“Don’t worry, I have made up my mind.”
Li Wei said.
After years of painstaking efforts, Rome has been deeply imprinted by the holy religion, and it is time to change the sky.
Seeing Li Wei’s firmness, Lucias could only nod his head.
“When we leave, be careful of the Britons. I’m worried that they will have a rebellion.”
Li Wei said.
He remembered that Caesar had to leave Britain after learning of Gaul’s rebellion, and the British rebelled immediately.
“I see.”
Lycias said.

In the Dragon City, Caesar was solving his little hand.
Since coming to Dragon City, he seemed to be completely left idle, and no one thought of him at all.
Even Aetius was assigned the position of a military civic officer by them, but on the contrary, he seemed to be a casual eater.
This made him very angry, how could they treat him like this.
At this moment, there was a sound from outside.
“Did you see those purple-red floating soil? Scrape them all up, now the top is pressed tightly, there is no less.”
“Understand, take care of it.”
Hearing this, Caesar couldn’t help but pricked his ears.
Recently, he often saw slaves scraping this purple-red soil in latrines and cattle pens, and as the situation became tense, it is said that Longcheng had sent people around to buy this kind of soil.
This made him very suspicious. Why did Dragon City spend money on such filthy things? Could it be related to God-given weapons?
It just seems unlikely How can God-given weapons have something to do with this kind of thing.
At this moment, a slave came in.
After seeing Caesar’s attire, he bowed quickly and squatted up on the ground.
“What are you doing with this?”
Caesar asked pretendingly.
“Enlighten this veteran, this is the order from above, as for the specific reason, I don’t understand.”
Said the slave.
“How long have you been digging these?”
“This is probably… five years old.”
The slave rolled his eyes and said, then gave Caesar a weird look.
“Do you know what this is for? I think you have a lot of demand for this kind of thing recently, and you have begun to buy this kind of thing everywhere.”
“I don’t know, I just know it was sent inside.”
The slave pointed in the direction of the core area, that area was very sensitive, and their slaves were usually forbidden to talk about it, so he didn’t want to name it.
