Chapter 114: The Enemy Arrives
The storm is coming. This is not a speculation at the end of the season, but because Maximus' current reputation is almost at the critical point that Commodos can tolerate. When he can't bear it and cannot find a solution, he will directly choose the roughest solution.
Kill Maximus directly.
Maximus naturally understood this, so when he came back, he informed the end of the season.
"When I came, I saw Sislow!" With a smile, the bright smile that Maximus rarely sees now appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Have you brought the news from General Sislo's army?" Ji Shishi understood the reason why Maximus was so happy after thinking for a moment.
"That's right, the legion was not controlled by the people of Commodos. Now as long as we leave here, let us return to the legion stationed in Osia, we will immediately get the command of the legion and enter Rome directly at that time!"
"The key is how to leave here and return to Osya safely!"
Maximus said lightly: "That's right, so I have asked Sislo to find Lucia! Since her purpose with the Senate is the same as ours, it's time for them to work hard! I believe there will be news soon."
Sure enough, the next day, Lucia brought the most prestigious MP Grex to meet Maximus in the Senate.
At the beginning, Congressman Grix was reluctant to help Maximus leave Rome and let him lead troops to Rome's request, because he did not trust Maximus would not become the second Commodos after killing Commodos, but he had no extra choice.
Because Commodos has become more and more blatant recently, many members of the Senate Council have been arrested by him. If this continues, he will sooner or later face the situation of being arrested and then being executed secretly.
Rather than doing this, it’s better to give it a try.
"If nothing unexpected happens, instead of slowly letting Commodos eat them away, it is better to put your hope on you, at least you are more trustworthy." Ji Mo pondered and then spoke: "So when is the time they arranged?"
Maximus stroked his chin and said, "It takes them to arrange this before we can reply to us, but time should not let us wait too long!"
It was indeed not long, and it even surprised both of them at the end of the sensation.
On the next day, Lucia came here again with a anxious body.
Lucia was taken directly to the room where Maximus was, and when she was about to speak, she let out a scream of fear.
Pointing at Ji Mo, he seemed to see a ghost, and said, "Why is it you? Aren't you dead? Quintas said he watched you stab the sword into his chest with his own eyes!"
"Long time no see!" Ji Shi smiled faintly. The other party's reaction was normal, because since he came to Rome at the end of the season, every fight has all been wearing helmets that block their appearance. Not only Lucia, who was watching the fight in the stands, did not recognize Shi Shi Shi, but even Commodos and Quintas who had met each other closely.
However, who would have thought that a person who was stabbed into the chest by a sword could survive?
"Punctured a sword into his chest? What's going on?" Maximus, who had never heard Shi Hou say it, frowned.
"This..." Lucia opened her mouth and was about to say the time she heard it, but after just saying two words, Ji Mi interrupted the other party and said, "I will talk about these things later!"
Maximus looked at Shi Hou, then turned his eyes to Lucia with a hint of anxiety and said, "What happened so nervous?"
Lucia suppressed the strange feeling that she had when she saw the end of the season and spoke: "Mr. Grix was taken away by Commodos's people. Our plan is as fast as possible! In the middle of the night, Prosimo will take you to the entrance of the exit, and we have to hurry up!"
"Yeah!" Maximus nodded.
...
The night arrived as scheduled.
But the vicious uninvited guest broke the silence of the night, shocking Ji Mi who was quietly waiting for the arrival of the middle of the night.
Listening to the loud shouting outside and coming over at Caesar's order, Ji Mo said, "It's the Imperial Guard!"
"The situation is not good!" Maximus pondered, and a dark cloud rose in his eyes.
Needless to say, it is known that Lucia has a problem, after all, she is arranged for everything.
At this time, Prosimo opened the door and walked in. The rich-greedy slave owner looked calm at this moment, and he actually had a momentum of generous justice. It seemed that at this critical moment, he had regained the courage to fight against the enemy many years ago when he was a gladiator.
"Go away!" Prosimo said, turned around coldly, and walked towards the other gladiators' rooms. Since the enemy has attacked, it is very necessary to release the other gladiators to create chaos in order to protect Maximus from leaving safely.
"Prossimo, do you regret choosing to be a good person at this time?"
"Haha, I'm also a gladiator..." Prosimo stood up straight and his waist was bent, without any greed for money on his body.
The gladiators were released and gathered together, with a firm look on their faces, covering Maximus' departure. They were naturally clear about what they were about to face, but at this moment, no one retreated.
Maximus solemnly instructed: "As long as you find an opportunity, leave here! Don't just fight to the death!"
But only familiar slogans responded to him.
“Courage and glory!”
“Courage and glory!”
"Quick, hurry! I will definitely find Maximus! I can't let him leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
Listening to the roar outside, the gladiators left calmly.
"These are all real men!" Ji Mo praised in his heart. Not everyone can face the sword that is about to attack. They deserve respect.
Maximus looked back at the silent Ji Du and said, "End, prepare, let's leave here!".
After looking at the gladiators who were already fighting with the Imperial Guards outside, Ji Mo raised his eyebrows and spoke to Maximus: "You leave first, I'll chase you right away, I'll help these guys!"
"Stop kidding! What can you do alone!" Maximus shouted angrily.
"Haha!" Ji Mo chuckled and looked at Maximus and said, "If Lucia said that my chest was pierced, although you didn't ask me, you should have guessed something. Don't worry, I will definitely catch up with you! And now, I have been suppressing for a long time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mo's eyes flashed sharply, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. His body flashed, and he rushed into the Imperial Guard like an arrow.
Chapter completed!
