Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 371
“What are you talking about? How dare you say that we believe in false gods? You will definitely be punished by the gods. I want to accuse you. Iduy should not cooperate with you.”
The priest said angrily.
Rufus’s face became hard to look like, this guy actually planned to provoke the Aiduyi people to cooperate with them.
“Kill him for me!”
Rufus said to a crusader beside him.
The crusader nodded and drew his short sword and walked towards the priest.
“What do you want to do? I’m a priest of the Druid sect. You can’t do that.”
The priest backed away in fright.
At this time, the prisoners of war were also in a commotion, and some prisoners rushed to the priest, blocking between the priest and the crusaders.
“You can’t do this, he is our noble priest, and hurting him will be punished by the gods.”
Said a prisoner.
The crusader saw so many prisoners in front of him, and had to look at Rufus.
Rufus’ face worsened, he waved his hand and said.
“No matter who it is, as long as you dare to stop, kill them all.”
Upon receiving his order, the surrounding Crusaders immediately stepped forward and surrounded the priest and prisoners.
The captives looked at these murderous crusaders with fear.
“Stop it all!”
At this moment, more than a dozen Iduy soldiers and a priest came over.
“What are you doing? Why do you treat a noble druid priest this way.”
The Iduy priest said angrily.
Rufus looked at them with a bad face, “What are you doing here?”
Seeing the arrival of these people, the Helvesian priest was overjoyed and greeted him enthusiastically. Only then did people realize that they knew each other.
“I came to see my friend, but you didn’t expect you to plan to kill him.”
The Iduy priest said excitedly.
“They also persecute all people to believe in the true god, otherwise they will be sold as slaves,”
Helvetia technician provoked.
“What are you talking about? You forced them to betray the gods. Do you know what you are doing? You are insulting all the Gauls! I will tell this to our leader. You better let them go quickly. , Otherwise you will be in big trouble.”
Priest Iduy said angrily.
Rufus looked at him dissatisfied, “They are our captives, and how to deal with them is our right.”
“Even if you are a captive, you can’t force them to betray the gods. You are making enemies of all the Gauls.”
The priest of Aiduyi refused to give up.
The two kept arguing, and no one wanted to give in.
“Are you sure you want to interfere with how we deal with these prisoners?”
Rufus completely lost his patience.
Unexpectedly, a group of Gaul barbarians would dare to question the decision of the great prophet. He was looking for death.
“Yes, you can’t do this! If you do, you will face the anger of all the Gauls.”
Said the priest Aiduyi.
“Really? How about being an enemy? How can you stupid people know the greatness of the true God! Kill them for me! I will be responsible if something goes wrong!”
Rufus said loudly.
The crusaders no longer hesitated, and they stepped forward to slash the prisoners and priests, and those who tried to stop them were slashed to the ground.
“Help me! My friend!”
The Helvesian priest said in horror.
“You go and protect him.”
The Aiduyi priest said to the Aiduyi soldier beside him.
The Aidu soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them, but more Crusaders stopped in front of them.
The two sides pulled out their weapons and began a tense confrontation.
Rufus looked at all this with a sneer, really a bunch of ignorant barbarians.
At this time, the crusaders finally reached the Helvesian priest and stabbed him to death.
Seeing his friends and so many loyal believers were hacked and killed on the spot, the eyes of the priest Aiduyi were completely red.
“I swear you will regret it! Let’s go!”
After speaking, he left here with the Aidu soldiers.
Rufus snorted, then said to the captives: “Now tell me your choice.”

In a military camp, Li Wei had received a message from Rufus.
This caused him a lot of headaches. He understood the advantages of the sacred religion as well as its weaknesses.
He knew the rejection of other sects by Shengjiao, but he didn’t expect to be backlashed so quickly.
“Rufus is too reckless. Now that hundreds of thousands of Germans have crossed the Rhine, it is when we need to love Dui people, how can he destroy our relationship with Dui people.”
Bellierus said.
“I don’t think so, what about the Eduis? We are great Romans and don’t need to be used to these barbarians. We have promised to give them half of the Ségwanis land, but we didn’t expect them to intervene in us to deal with prisoners of war. This is too much. Moreover, spreading the holy religion among the prisoners of war meant that Rufus was going to be too extreme at best.”
Anius said.
His father was the dean of the Longcheng Monastery and the cardinal of the Holy Church. The crusaders and priests respected him far more than others, and he certainly wanted to speak for them.
“But this may cause all the Gauls to be hostile to us, which is very detrimental to our future war.”
Bellierus said.
“But they control too broadly. Who do they think they are? They dare to control us.”
Anius insisted.
The two refused to give in. The other lieutenants did not interrupt, but looked at Li Wei quietly.
Rufus’s actions are actually what Li Wei meant, and he still needs his decision in the end.
“Well, don’t fight anymore. Our original plan remains unchanged. We will continue to preach in prisoners of war, but we can hand over the Helvesian priests to the Eduy.”
Li Wei thought for a while and said.
He was indeed a little ill-conceived before, not considering the priests and prisoners of war, and he did not expect to cause such a big trouble.
“But this will anger the priests of the entire Gaul. They will urge the tribes to unite and attack us. They are very powerful in Gaul, and they are fully capable of this.”
Bellierus said.
Druid priests are noble, and they can even stop wars between different tribes.
There was a great uprising throughout Gaul in later generations, and it may not be without the credit of these priests.
“You are right, but preaching is our core interest. This cannot be violated. Even if we compromise, as long as we preach, the priests will regard us as enemies, and they will still persuade all tribes to unite and deal with it. we.”
Li Wei said.
He can indeed reorganize slowly, but his governor only has five years, and he cannot unify Gaul in eight years like Caesar. He has to expedition to Germany.
Therefore, he has too little time, and the Gauls are capricious and rebellious at every turn, so he decided to use the most intense way to completely solve the Gauls.
“If all the Gauls unite, then it will be difficult for us to win.”
Belieus said worriedly.
“Don’t worry about this, I have my own idea.”
Li Wei said, it’s time to use his secret weapon.
Although Levi seemed extremely confident, Belieus was still very worried that if all the Gauls united, then at least a million troops could be mobilized.
That’s an army of millions! Even if their twelve legions are strong, they are not their opponents.
At this moment, a guard came in.
“Report to the general, the leader of Aiduyi, Divichiba Agus, came to see you.”
“Let’s come in.”
Li Wei said, he didn’t expect them to come so soon.
Soon Divichiba Agus walked in with several priests. Unlike before, he was now extremely angry.
“Levy, I heard that some people are forcing the Helvesians and Segwanis to betray the Druids. I don’t know if there is such a thing.”
Divi Chiba Agus said.
“Yes.”
Li Wei did not intend to deny it.
“I always thought that the Romans respected our beliefs, so I always regarded you as our friends. Could it be that I was wrong before.”
Divi Chiba Agus said.
“Those people are my captives. How to deal with them is my right. You have no right to interfere.”
Li Wei said.
“You…you know that you are insulting the Gauls. No one can force the Gauls to betray the gods.”
Divi Chiba Agus said angrily.
“Then what are you going to do?”
Li Wei said coldly.
Divi Chiba Agus was stagnant, looking at Li Wei’s indifferent eyes, is he going to turn his face?
“I will tell this news to the Senate, and I hope the Senate can give me an explanation.”
Divi Chiba Agus thought for a while and said.
The Romans are in great power now, and if they turn their faces now, they will definitely not be the opponents of the Romans.
“Whatever you want, but before that, I ask you to give me all the prisoners.”
Li Wei said.
“Why? We also contributed to this war.”
Divi Chiba Agus said angrily.
“Because this is your war, we are here to help. And we have far more people than you, but it’s not too much to ask for a few prisoners of war.”
“What if we don’t?”
At this time a priest said.
“I will treat it as a betrayal of Rome, and then have to force you to persuade you to surrender the captives.”
Li Wei said lightly.
“You are too much.”
Divi Chiba Agus said angrily, he didn’t expect Li Wei to threaten them.
“Anyone who opposes the true God will be severely punished, and I will give you one day to think about it.”
Li Wei said.
“you……”
Divi Chiba Agus pointed at him with anger, speechless, “Very well, I will give you the answer tomorrow.”
After finishing talking, Divi Chiba Agus left here with everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, they didn’t expect the two parties to turn their faces so quickly.
“Are we going to fight the Aiduy?”
At this time Anius said.
“Yes, after they hand over all the captives to us.”
Li Wei nodded, “Regardless of whether they hand it over or not, we will ask them to hand over Dunolex to us for trial. According to my estimation, they probably won’t hand it over, and we can say it right then. Attack them.”
“Why not detain them so that we can easily win.”
Anius said.
“This is wrong. They are our allies now. If they are detained and attacked on their territories. This will not only make it impossible to talk to the Senate and the Citizens’ Assembly, but it will also chill our allies.”
Bellierus said.
It makes sense for Anius to think about it. Allies have always been a very important part of Rome’s combat effectiveness. It is really not good to do so.
With the transmission of Li Wei’s order, the entire Roman army began to act.
Although many soldiers were puzzled by this, they were very convinced of Li Wei’s ability. They believed that Li Wei would lead them to victory after victory.
The changes in the Roman army made the Aiduyi very nervous, they had a heated discussion about it, and finally conveyed their decision to Li Wei.
They refused to hand over the captives!
“Really? This is really great! Many times people often fail to recognize their position correctly.”
Li Wei said with a sneer on his face, he decided to follow the plan, first to salute and then to fight.
“Send someone to tell them to hand over Dunolex. If they don’t hand over him, we will launch an attack on the Eduy.”
Li Wei said.

“Asshole!”
Divi Chiba Agus did not expect that Li Wei would really turn his face, but he had promised to let his brother go.
As a younger brother, he certainly would not allow this to happen.
But he is the leader of all Aiduyi people, and he must listen to the opinions of the elders and priests, so he summoned them.
“We decided that we could not agree to him, he just wanted a reason to start a war.”
“That’s right, whoever is with him is the enemy of the Gaul. We have sent people to contact all the Gaul tribes and summon them to fight against the Romans.”
“…”
As expected by Divichiba Agus, the priests reacted more intensely. It seemed that whoever agreed to Levi’s terms would become their unshakable enemy.
Li Wei touched their most fundamental interests and triggered their most fierce counterattack.
Unlike the Roman priests, they are more influential and more powerful.
Some veterans also expressed their support. They saw Li Wei’s cruelty. This was to completely wipe out the Helvesia and the Segwanis. This is simply unimaginable.
Seeing this ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Divi Chiba Agus was extremely happy.
“What should we do now? If we refuse, they will go to war with us immediately.”
“We can pretend to agree to them, and then cross the Ara River as soon as possible, and then return to the royal city. The strength of the Romans is far above us, and only with the help of the royal city can we resist them. As long as the other tribes arrive, the Romans will undoubtedly lose. “
Said a priest.
Divi Chiba Agus nodded repeatedly, thinking that this was a good idea.
After deliberation, they finally passed the decision.
In fact, they went very smoothly. After learning that they had decided to hand over Dunolex, Levi didn’t seem to have discovered their plan, and the Romans became friendly with them.
So Divichiba Agus and others left the camp overnight, and then marched towards the Ara River at full speed.
But when they rushed to the Ala River, they found that the pontoon bridges were igniting a raging fire.
