Chapter 2 Fire and Sword on the Tip of the Tongue (Part 2)

At this time, many Republican supporters started to clamor again. In the tide-like shouting, Li Bida and Anthony had already stretched their hands tacitly and made a gesture of "please give me a favor". At this time, thin thread-like raindrops floated above the entire venue, and the air became more dull and was about to burn.

"I will first tell Libidaus and Antonius two respected cavalry commanders that although your position is very important, the Republic will not always be very important. All its orders and possible methods of handling are engraved on the bronze engraving of the law by the wise ancestors, and they are determined to remember. For example, the consul had only one term, and Dicketto had only six months term, but Caesar forced everyone to serve as Dicketto for indefinitely, and five years.

The consuls who served ten years or even ten years. For example, the law stipulates that the Republicans were not allowed to cross the two natural boundaries of Brindisi and Rubicon, nor were they allowed to enter the city of Rome. However, Caesar had attacked his motherland before, which was very bold. Under his rule, many citizens were killed and more people were exiled. This is the reality of Caesar's rule, and now we are just trying to return the country to a normal and traditional state through extraordinary means."

"Then I ask you, Brutu, have you had a citizen of the Republic before your agreement with Cassia? Have you never fought with Caesar?" Anthony next to Li Bida immediately asked.

"Yes, I have always been a citizen. Caesar does not and has no right to deprive me of this innate qualification. Most of the people present can pat their chests and say, "I am a citizen of the Republic. I have a natural right to participate in the safety of the country!" Brutu was excited. He patted his chest and shouted, "I love Caesar, but I love Rome more and freedom more!"

"Then don't be excited - you and Casio were surrendered to Caesar in the waters outside Ephesus. You were standing in Pompeii's camp before. So did Caesar kill you? Did you exil to you?" Anthony asked aggressively.

"Don't fall into his tricks, Marcus, that guy wants to bring the topic back to personal relationships." Kassio reminded him.

At this time, the raindrops were drizzling, but Brutu blocked Casio's gesture with his hands, and then he answered Anthony's question publicly, "Yes, I surrendered to Casio, and Caesar once asked me to swear allegiance to him and gave me a pardon. I could have continued to survive, but the tyrant did not use the same method. Force all citizens to swear to him, use benefits, bribery and vows to force everyone to be loyal to him alone, and use the simple virtues of the Romans to achieve their unspeakable goals, so I can't bear it anymore."

"So Caesar forgives you, and most of you, so that you can use your sword to assassinate him in a despicable way, right? This is really an unspeakable goal!" Anthony said loudly, and then the people on the scene became excited. Those who supported Brutu and those who supported Caesar both cursed each other. The former called the latter a servant of the tyrant, and the latter accused the former of the despicable actors.

Brutu was even more excited and shouted, "Those who criticize me, if Caesar did not deprive you of your freedom, why didn't he give the suffrage of the consul, the suffrage of the governor, the suffrage of the chief executive, the command of the army, the priesthood, and the seat of the colonial committee to you!? He was not as good as Sula, the tyrant of the past, and Sula held a meeting after the end of the civil war, proclaiming to return the power of the Republic to you. But Caesar did not. He just used an excuse for an expedition to deprive him of the right to freedom. Rome had become a dead place for suffocating freedom, and could not see a trace of hope, and could not feel a spark. Everything was based on Caesar's personal joy and anger, but the Romans were born to die and not want to be slaves, and they would rather die than be free!"

At this time, the atmosphere of Brutufang was reached, and all the veterans and supporters shouted the slogan "Do not be free than death", and Kasillo behind him also applauded and laughed gloomy and comfortable.

At this time, only Cicero on the steps pondered and paced back and forth, paying attention to the change in Li Bida's eyes. He keenly realized that everything was not over.

"Brutu just talked about his beloved eternal law, and begged the dead Caesar, or the living us, to hand over the command of the army to the people. Then I hope to consult His Excellency Brutu - the right to go to the expedition and the right to delegate generals, and the right to draw lots of the provincial governor, which law stipulates that the Senate enjoys it!" Li Bida suddenly came over and fired fire at Brutu's faction instead of Anthony.

As a result, many people, including Brutu, were speechless. Yes, these powers were originally in the Hundred-Man Group Conference, but during the extraordinary period of the Punic War, the Senate took over these powers and never returned them again.

Seeing Brutu's speechlessness, Casca also came over and replied to Li Bida, "Because it is an extraordinary measure, just like now, the elected fathers of the Senate naturally have the right to guide state affairs at such a moment."

"But this extraordinary period is not irresistible, but it was created by you! Therefore, you should admit that some of the conspiracy groups in the Senate are the culprits who have trapped the country in the extraordinary and assassinated Julius and attempted to invade state power." Li Bida loudly counterattacked, and then the call for "punishing the murderer" there was like a collapse of mountains and seas.

"I have already said that it was an extraordinary period, and it was at the juncture of the Punic War." Kasca was also panicked.

"Isn't the war against Dacia and Parthia an immediate critical moment for the country? Didn't you give Caesar the title of Father of the Kingdom, lifelong civil servants and commander-in-chief of the war? Isn't it reasonable to make appropriate changes to the law in extraordinary times? The law of Rome is always changing. Only those with ulterior motives will use this as an excuse to make truly despicable behavior. If you have unspeakable goals, you - Casio, Urabella, Casca, Luga, Spineel, you used the stupid Brutu to achieve dirty goals - and Caesar was just extending the term of the consul. What's wrong with that?"

"Of course there is a mistake, because the term of the consul should be only one year. Caesar used war to occupy this position and kill people's freedom." Sipingzel took it.

"Now you finally admit that you are angry that Caesar occupied this position, not considering the issue based on public interests. People, now our Lord Spingzel is going to be the consul and command the army. Then I suggest sending him to the front line of the battlefield against Parthia and command the legion of the Republic. Everyone will say whether it is okay!" Anthony waved his arm excitedly and advocated to everyone. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
