Chapter 14 Meeting-(2/2)
Kirk, as a retinue, must also accompany him.
Voronos came back home radiant. Not only were his wife and children well, but his daughter also had a grandson, which made Voronos a little excited.
Under the escort of Voronos, Plo and Kirk, Antony rode a tall horse and rode all the way. He dismounted at the Senate House in the city center.
Along the way, crowds of people gathered from all directions and shouted: "Long live Caesar! Long live democracy!"
Antony waved greetings with a calm face, and Roman girls kept throwing flowers in front of him, making him feel like a hero returning in triumph.
His eyes kept resting on the large-character posters plastered all over the streets of Rome. This job was still done by Polo, and today's power is obviously related to this open letter from Caesar to the Roman people. In the letter, Caesar publicly stated
It exposed the fact that Pompey had surrendered to the aristocracy, boasted of his achievements, and called on everyone to oppose Pompey's wanton trampling of democracy and the promotion of aristocratic tyranny.
For Roman citizens, "democracy" was the sensitive word they longed for most, and it was also the basic spirit of the founding of the Roman Republic. The knight class who mastered basic military force, the wealthy top citizen class, and the merchant class were all democratic.
Firm supporters. They hate the actions of the great nobility and the powerful who monopolize power. They insist on maintaining the dignity and authority of the Citizens' Assembly and the tribunes, and oppose the aristocratic tendency of the Senate.
The political situation in Rome was constantly changing in the struggle between democracy and dictatorship, and between civilians and aristocrats.
This is the first time Kirk has entered the gate of the Senate. He knows that in the near future, Caesar will be assassinated here, ending his legendary life.
Antony was not stage frightened. There were very few Romans who could not give speeches. Antony stood on the rostrum, emotional and shouted hoarsely as he criticized the various accusations made by the Senate against Caesar for disobeying orders, acting indiscriminately, and greedy for money.
There was a heated debate among the Pompeian senators.
Kirk felt drowsy after listening to it. Both sides were obviously going to fall out, and they were sharpening their knives behind their backs, but they kept trying to make a clear argument and defend themselves. They blamed each other for provoking a civil war.
What interested him was that all the old men in the Senate were in good spirits, spitting stars flying around, and there was no trace of where they were. Speaking of excitement, there were also old men jumping on their feet, talking about chairs, and rushing to the podium.
, looking for Anthony desperately. Fortunately, this hot-tempered old man was held down by others. I really don’t know if he rushed up with a chair, Lu Bu’s tempered Anthony would be so angry that he would give him a sword and send the old man to heaven.
By the way, the Roman Senate is just like the Legislative Yuan of some precious island. After the verbal sparring, everyone finds it unsatisfying and starts a live-action PK. It is true that the essence of democracy is violence.
That's right.
But this Kirk had nothing to do with him. He was observing Pompey. Pompey was a short, fat, pot-bellied old man who had almost nothing to do with the handsome young general on the mural on the roof of his house.
But only the occasional flash of light in his cloudy eyes made Kirk feel that this was a generation of heroes who looked down upon the wolves!
Pompey finally stood up and concluded: "I propose that the Senate pass a resolution requiring Caesar to return to Rome to receive trial for his various wrongdoings in Gaul. We promised to conduct a notarized review and allow 10,000 citizens to observe, but
Reject Caesar's request to lead the Provence legion back to Rome. If you agree, please raise your hands!"
At this time, outside the Senate, the crowd chanted Caesar's name, and a riot broke out. Incited by big-character posters, the citizens of Rome had long been dissatisfied with Pompey's action of expelling the two tribunes, and everyone was united.
In the Senate, Antony shouted "No motion!"
But the Senate was in chaos, and no one among the senators was obedient. Whether they were Caesars or Pompeii, they were all shouting, shaking their chairs and fighting.
When Antony was trying to leave Rome with his troops, he was intercepted. A wooden stick flew from nowhere and hit Antony. During the melee, Volenus took the initiative, but a black stick hit the back of the head. He suffered
Injured, unconscious.
Kirk held the unconscious Warrenos and ran all the way, finally fighting his way out of the Senate through a group of violent senators.
In the Senate Square, a melee also began. Both the civilian faction and the aristocratic faction threw their arms away, and thousands of people fought in a melee.
In the square with countless bricks and wooden sticks flying across the square, Kirk ordered Xiaopang and Sheva to kick away whoever was blocking them. After suffering many stray bullets, the group of people were covered in bullets.
Xiaobao finally broke out of the siege.
Kirk is helpless. In this situation, it is obviously impossible to go to the temples to find the goddess of luck and do any tasks. There is no need to worry about Ilicia. She is a Roman aristocrat and has a strong foundation here. He can help her escape.
Another 10,000 ores were provided as funds, so she should be able to escape safely. The biggest gain of this trip is to be able to rescue Ilysia, which is a complete merit and the trip is worthwhile.
As for viruses, Kirk didn't find anyone abnormal at all. To be honest, except for Ilysia, he felt that everyone in Rome was abnormal, but obviously the number of viruses was not that high.
They protected the unconscious Volenus, mounted their horses together, and rushed out of the gates of Rome. Because Pompey was also caught in the melee and too busy to take care of himself, he did not send anyone to stop Antony. (To be continued. Please search
