Rome Must Fall Chapter 6: Temple of Flora

"I recognize you, the Spartan warrior of Thrace, the legend in the arena! And you, the lion from Gaul! Can you please consider that I am an admirer of both of you and often come to the arena? For the sake of cheering you two on, please let me go, my family still has to rely on me to support them!..." The coachman begged again.

Cross was a little moved by what he said, but Spartacus said calmly: "Tie him up and take him away together."

Cross was a little surprised: "Spartacus, why do you have to make it so troublesome? Didn't we always leave things behind and let people get out of here?"

Spartacus's eyes flashed and he whispered: "If the Capua people don't know that we have hijacked the carriage transporting gladiator weapons and equipment, and think that most of us are bare-handed, when they When the garrison came to chase us unsuspectingly..."

Cross's eyes lit up and he licked his lips with his scarlet tongue: "It seems we don't have to run away in a hurry. Let's **** him hard first!——"

At this time, Maximus emerged from the carport: "Spartacus, there are a total of 60 daggers, 15 long swords, 15 spears, 40 square shields, and 40 original shields in the car. 90 helmets, 90 pairs of greaves, and 5 fishing nets..."

"There's a lot of stuff!" Cross was so excited that he forgot to show his shame towards Maximus.

Spartacus was a little surprised: he knew that Maximus could read and hyphenate, but what he didn't know was that this young man was also very good at arithmetic, and could so quickly complete the carport. All supplies are counted. It should be noted that these gladiators, who are either from Thrace or Gaul, are almost all illiterate. Most of them can only count on their fingers to do arithmetic within ten. Only Hamilcar can be relied on, but it is far from Mark. Sims calculate so fast.

Spartacus looked deeply at Maximus and asked: "How far is the temple you mentioned before?"

Maximus immediately stood up from the carport, looked around, compared the memory of the original owner, and said uncertainly: "It should be...not that far away, no more than five miles."

"Take us there, we will rest there tonight."

Maximus now regretted bringing the gladiators to the Temple of Flora. Some of them actually committed violence against several priestesses in the temple, one of whom was an old man, to vent their desires. and resentment against the Romans. The shrill screams of the priestesses in the crowd were like whips, lashing Maximus' guilty heart. He wanted to escape from the main hall of the temple, which made him extremely uncomfortable, but he was stopped by a gladiator.

"Maximus, Cross said, you can't leave at will, go back and sleep." The man folded his arms and said coldly.

From the memory of the original owner, Maximus found the name of this person, Torquevaldo, a Gauls, a veteran in gladiators, and a fan of Cross.

You guys are doing these things, and you still want me to sleep! ...Maximus suppressed the urge to curse, and his tone became tougher: "I'm going to see Spartacus. I have something important to tell him. It's a matter of life and death for our brothers! Don't you let me I’ll go see him, okay, you’ll be responsible for anything that happens tomorrow!”

Tolquevaldo was startled by him: "Are you going to see Spartacus?"

"Yes!"

"What is it?"

Maximus ignored him and turned around and walked back.

"Wait!" Torquevaldo gave way to the door and warned: "You can only go to see Spartacus, not wander around!"

Maximus ignored him and went straight out of the palace door.

Tolquevaldo followed closely behind, escorting him around to the apse like a prisoner.

The ajar door was filled with light. Maximus pushed the door open and walked in. The eyes of Spartacus and others who were discussing matters inside immediately focused on him.

Maximus swallowed, pretending to be shocked and said: "Spartacus, please stop those brothers who are violating the priestess. They are blaspheming and will be cursed and punished. Of!"

"That's the **** of the Romans. He can't punish us Gauls. The brothers have endured the suffering of the Romans, so they can vent their anger on Roman women." Cross didn't care, and instead sneered at Maximus. Said: "But you are so devoted to those Roman women. You are worthy of being a child raised by the Romans. No wonder you want to be a traitor!"

Maximus ignored Cross. He looked at Spartacus and said solemnly: "They are not ordinary Roman women, they are respected priestesses, like us... This will only arouse the anger of the Romans. Not only the Roman nobles, but also the Roman civilians will show hostility to us! By then, there will be Romans against us everywhere in this land of Italy, and we will be unable to move forward!"

"We were originally going to fight against the Romans. Whoever dares to stop us, we will kill them. Anyway, it's either us or them who die. It's no big deal." Enoma said angrily, as if she didn't care. The attitude of life and death, just to make a scene.

Enomai is a Germanic man with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and an unusually tall and burly figure, like an iron tower. He is the most powerful among the gladiators, but his sword fighting skills are weaker than those of Spartacus and Cross, but already has an outstanding reputation in the arena of Capua.

"The Roman commoners were different from the Roman nobles, especially the Roman poor who lived on the streets and could only live on free bread. They lost their land, owed a large amount of debt, and their living conditions were not much different from ours. For Rome The nobles hate us even more than we do, and it is entirely possible for them to join us and fight against the Roman army, because only in this way can they take back what they want..." Maximus explained seriously.

In his previous life, he did not study history, but was a freelancer. He liked to take on jobs at home, write creative works and graphic design, and be a homebody at the same time. Playing games is his biggest hobby, followed by watching movies and TV series online. He lives a lazy life, but is very serious about what he does. Especially when watching historical and biographical films or playing war strategy games~IndoMTL.com~, he always likes to first understand his historical background, weapons and equipment, etc., so that he can More immersive. There are many movies and TV shows about Spartacus. Although there are only a few real historical records, Maximus had a detailed understanding of the historical background at that time.

"Nonsense!" Cross shouted loudly. He felt that this was just a reason made up by Maximus to help the priestesses.

But Spartacus was greatly shocked when he heard this. He strode up to Maximus and asked eagerly: "Is everything you said true? The poor people of Rome will help us fight against Rome." Human?!"

Spartacus's extremely excited expression stunned Maximus: Do you not know about this? This is what you did in history, so the rebel army you led grew larger and larger like a snowball, and eventually became a serious problem for Rome!

But then Maximus realized that the ancient hero standing in front of him grew up in a remote Thracian tribe, and later joined the Roman army to fight in Asia Minor. He was captured as a deserter and was eventually escorted He went to Italy to become a gladiator. It was impossible for Spartacus, who was trapped in the gladiator school, to have a deep understanding of Roman society, let alone to have the foresight of a wise man. All he did was to follow the trend of history. That's all...

Thinking of this, Maximus immediately realized another problem: Compared with these gladiators, his martial prowess was not outstanding. He did not know how to lead troops in combat, did not know how to herd and farm, and did not know how to buy and sell goods. The only thing that is superior to everyone is the knowledge far beyond others. The knowledge that can understand the present and predict the future should allow you to gain a firm foothold in this group and have enough voice!
