"Since you have to collect taxes twice a year, you must ensure that we have two summers and two harvest seasons a year. £∝" - Marco Anthony levied heavy taxes in the East, and a municipal magistrate of a vassal city argued

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This killing lasted until the seventh day, and there were already 180 veterans and nearly 1,200 knights killed under the public enemy's declaration and the order of killing. Due to the participation of the army, the efficiency of the entire massacre has been several times. You should know that the firing squad had just executed the sixteen direct murderers one by one within three days.

The centurion and soldiers were densely spread in the city, and there were also forests, fields, roads and swamps outside the city, with guard posts and patrol cavalry everywhere. Ninety percent of the fugitives were found in various places and killed one by one. A veteran even hid in a cesspool, but was stabbed to death by the Gaul cavalry with a spear. His stinky head was not even wiped with the dirt on it, but he was sent to the square. Those who died were not only the murderer's relatives, but also the people who were related to his life in Pompeii, and even the marginalized people who were excluded and marginalized within the Caesar Party. As long as they were jealous of these people, especially those who were young Caesar for money and Anthony for personal grudges, they would be killed.

For example, when the Senate issued a public enemy announcement to Brutu and Casio, he abstained from his vote. He was targeted by the young Caesar. In order to avoid disaster, he put on his coarse clothes and ran to Mount Evandini, staying at the street corner. When he saw a funeral team going down the mountain, he smuggled in and pretended to be a coffin carryer. Because unlike the rich people who had garden-like cemeteries in the city, the poor people on Mount Evandini could only be buried in the mass grave outside the city. This gave Colora a chance to leave the city. As a result, he was searched by soldiers of the Ninth Legion at the city gate. Unfortunately, when the soldiers saw the funeral team, they immediately shouted:

"There should be nine normal coffin carryrs, one of them serves as the prime minister and eight are responsible for coffin carrying. Why are there ten of you?"

The other coffin carryrs were panicked and wanted to push Colora out because this person was not the person at their funeral. Fortunately, the centurion who led the lead was particularly "witish". He scolded the soldiers and said that he should not pay attention to the number of coffin carryrs, but check the inside of the coffin. Now many public enemies will use this trick.

So the soldiers uncovered the lid, and a person rushed out of it, screaming and rolling on the ground. Although it was only a moment, Colora recognized him as the former consul Valentius, who was also a public enemy. It seemed that he was going to hide in the coffin and mingle outside the city like himself. He was really "destined". As a result, the centurion stepped forward and stabbed Valentius to death from behind. The soldiers cheered, as if he was killing a livestock. The entire checkpoint was in a happy chaos - everyone was identifying the identity of the deceased, and then ran to receive the reward - Colora actually became a blessing in disguise and successfully got out. Later, he ran to Spain to avoid disaster, and successfully became appointee Libida, and then continued to live his life as a judge and an inspector, enjoying high life and glory.

Colora is just an example. Soon the handling of the public enemy changed. Pansa was quickly excluded and he was unwilling to participate in this kind of thing. His spirit almost collapsed and he fled into his own home to recuperate. Slowly, the hidden contradiction between Anthony and Young Caesar was highlighted - they began to "pierce each other" with each other. Anthony sent a firing squad to kill Young Caesar's friends, and wanted to list his stepfather Phillips as public enemy. Young Caesar was not outdone, and killed more than a dozen knights protected by Anthony and deprived their property.

The "war situation" between the two became more and more intense. Not only did they publicly criticize each other in the square, but Anthony soon targeted Caesar's confidant Rufus, the financial officer who was originally Sicily, followed Curio to fight against Afilica. After Curio was wiped out, he fled back to Italy. Now, Rufus stood on the side of Octavian of Caesar, and Anthony's think tank Curio wanted to kill him because of his past personal grudges (who refused to save him in the war), so Anthony prepared to kill Rufus.

More importantly, Anthony's wife Fulivia took a fancy to the Lufus' mansion and tried to take it for himself. In this way, the couple instructed another close confidant of the Caesars Party, Caridius, to fabricate slander "evidence" and put Rufus on the death list. The next day, Rufus' head was sent to Anthony, but he was not interested at all. He just said lightly, "This is the result my wife Fulivia wants. I gave her the head to inspect it."

After checking in the atrium, Fulivia ordered Rufus's head to hang on his porch. The next day, Young Caesar also sent a "gift" to the hostess: Caridius' head, Young Caesar asked Fulivia to hang the head as well.

Anthony was so angry that he immediately rushed to the square with the guards to fight with Young Caesar, but was dissuaded by Li Bida. "It's better, let's divide the district boundaries so that everyone will be responsible for the same urban area, do not interfere with each other, and independently carry out the work of declaring and eliminating public enemies. If this happens, there will be much less conflict."

The peacemaker's plan was finally accepted, so Libida was the Ostia River Harbor and Mount Evandini, Octavia was assigned to the Subra District and Jukola Street, and Anthony was the Mars Grand Campus Field.

The killing below was even more terrifying. The butcher knife was not only aimed at the elders and knights, but also the rich free people, vendors, chefs, and even actors, especially those who often went to the aristocratic courtyards in the past. They also liked to talk nonsense, show off and shallow "wisdom". There were many people who were in operation. A banquet emcee from Greece named Bifordras had always liked to joke on the occasions they were running. Once many years ago, he joked about Caesar's bald head, but was now exposed by his slaves in the portal and chased and killed by Octavian's firing squad.

On the contrary, Li Bida and Leo, in the neighborhood where the father and son team were stationed, sheltered many fleeing veterans, and of course they were also restrained, because Li Bida was afraid that Anthony and Young Caesar would use this as a reason to attack him, so he handed over the identification of this to Princia and Helsious, so from morning to night, countless people were congested in the villas where the two were, and would rather lose their money than save their lives.

There are few people in the Grand Plaza of Roman Citizens today. Apart from the guards, it is like the resurrected Sulamarano Civil War, and it is full of fierce scenes of human heads. Crows, vultures and wild dogs come to eat in groups. The number of deaths rose sharply, and finally four hundred veterans, two thousand two hundred knights, tens of thousands of free people, guests or slaves died tragically.
