Vol 8 Chapter 190: Riots on Capitolin Hill

Why is this so? The reason is very simple. The Romans headed by the Roman elders and nobles retreated to Capitoline. Although the Dionian army only blocked it and did not attack it, they often sent people to yell at the mountains, such as "Your expedition." The army of Helsinki sneaked into the city of Rome and was repelled... Kaysera and Vai Ai have been captured... The Roman army led by Camilos was defeated in Ostia..."
At the beginning, only a few Latin people were yelling. Later, many Roman civilians familiar with the mountain joined the team. They added some other content to the shouts: for example, "We have already lived in the original. Your comfortable home...we have the land that belongs to you..."
Although the veterans have repeatedly avoided: "These are lies, the tricks of the Dionians, want to create chaos in us!..."
However, the people on the mountain listened to the shouts of the mountain. During the day, they could see many people dressed in Roman civilian costumes in the square, and they seemed to have a cordial conversation with the black helmets and black Adian soldiers. The things that carry the parcels are left (in fact, it is the Roman civilians who apply to become a Diaonian citizen, and the food they receive to the plaza every day), and it is inevitable that they will be suspicious. Coupled with the predicament in the mountains, some confusion has taken place.
Therefore, the veterans finally ordered that the piece of the cliff that clearly saw the square be blocked.
In the gloom of the dark temple of Jupiter, hundreds of Roman veterans who had just watched the triumph of the square at the top of the cliff sat in a dignified manner, and the atmosphere was somewhat suppressed.
"Cough! Cough!..." Pottyus's cough sounds extraordinarily clear in this quiet space, attracting everyone to focus on him, but he really coughs because of his weakness, and he doesn't think The desire to speak first.
After a while, Anbutos, the manager of Capitolin Hill, who was temporarily appointed by the Senate, broke the silence: "The fathers and the newcomers are new, I want to remind you that although the people cannot see the square today. The situation, but they can hear the shouts in the square, I think this will cause a lot of trouble for them, so I hope you will manage your family and diners after you go back! Scipio also want to be vigilant, Let the soldiers pay attention to maintaining order!"
"I have sent more soldiers, you can rest assured." Big Sippi responded.
"Hey!" Apleus suddenly shouted and saw everyone staring at him. He stood up and shouted loudly: "We have been up the mountain for ten days! Ten days! Why didn't you see it? Our army is going to attack the city?! Is it true that the soldiers of Camillaus have been defeated by the Ionians like the Dionyrians?!"
Many of the elders heard this and did not consciously shake their bodies. This is exactly what they are most afraid of.
"Cough cough... There are 70,000 troops outside the city, and Camilles is the commander, and there are so many Latin allies and colonial cities to support, how can they suffer fiasco!" Portitos tried to comfort everyone.

Since going up the mountain, in order to unite against the enemy, Apelius has been warned by Maruji Neensis. "Don't slam the dictator in the face of danger, causing unnecessary panic." But long-term pressure makes Apu Leus finally broke out again: "If Camilles's army did not fail, then where are they?! Wouldn't it be to escape?!"
Maruji Neensis immediately shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't believe the rumors that the enemy said, 'Our army was defeated in Ostia,' but this rumor also tells us a message, Kami Luce may lead the army to attack Ostia!"
The veterans who have been rich in war experience, headed by Portitos, Maruji Neensis, and Great Scipio, have of course made reasonable speculations about the reasons why Camillaus has not attacked the city for a long time. Both accepted this explanation.
But at the moment, Apulius is still not arrogant: "Why go to attack Ostia instead of attacking Rome directly?! Is it that Camilos is confused and thinks that we Romans live in Ostia? That small town?!"
"Rome city is thick and thick, and there are heavy guards. It is not as good as Ostia. Camilos is likely to attack Ostia, consume the strength of the Dionyrians, and block them in the interior. , forcing them to go out of town to decide the battle, or choose to stop the war... Aprius, these words I explained once yesterday, don’t let me say the second time again!
Maruji Nenesis sharply looked straight into the Arp Leus, the one who supported it in one hand suddenly began to become somewhat disobedient, which made his eyes angry.
Apureus did not speak.
However, some people raised doubts: "Camilus attacking Ostia may be the right strategy, but we all heard what the enemy said, 'Vicée and Kasera have been captured by them.' Yesterday they Also said, 'Sulvotem and Kosa also surrendered to them, even our allies Etruscans also formed alliances with them'... If these are true, even retake the Osti Ya, I am afraid it will not work."
These words immediately caused the rumors of the veterans.
Maruji Nenesis’s speaker is Lukritius, although he hates the old guy who doesn’t open the pot, and publicizes a topic that everyone is very worried about, is it The mind is dizzy? ! But for an old man who has been in the Senate for decades, he is still jealous, so he said perfunctorily: "I said that this is the enemy's lies, we don't have to believe."
"Why don't you send people to go down the mountain to investigate? Just like Pantius in the past! If we can be sure that these are the lies of the enemy, we and the people are relieved."
Maruji Neensis finally couldn’t help himself, and he said with anger: "Luketius, you are sleeping in addition to worshipping Jupiter every day. Have you seriously participated in the meeting and participated in any business? Scipio told him what we have done?!"
"Up to now, we have sent five warriors and dive down the mountain to inquire about the news, but we have not seen it yet." Scipio said solemnly: "When the Celts occupied Rome, they were slack, and they were stuck. The blockade of the Pitolin Mountains is not strict, and the Diaonians...you can see that they are camping under the mountain and know that it is very difficult to sneak up."
"Well, Camillos, as the dictator of Rome, will definitely try his best to defeat the Diaonians, just as he defeated the Celtics that year!" To avoid Lucy Titus being too embarrassed Initiating a squabble, Ambustus interjected: "We still have to pay attention to important issues related to us! Our food is only enough for 20 days. If Camilles fails to recapture Rome in 20 days, we I have to go hungry.
There is drinking water. Although there is a small spring on the mountainside not far from the Juno Temple, it is not enough for more than 5,000 people. Fortunately, just after the rainy season, there are still a few rains in the ten days. There is still a lot of water in the temple, but it doesn't rain for five or six days. It is very difficult for us to drink enough water for everyone...
There is disease, we rushed up the mountain, did not bring much herbs, the people crowded in the mountains, eating bad, not sleeping well, coupled with a bad mood, some people were sick and could not get good treatment , can't heal..."
The words of Ambustus made the veterans look even more worried.

Hey!
Pottyus sighed.
When the Celtics invaded, we only had a few hundred people when we retreated here, but now the number is ten times that of the time. Naturally consumed materials are also Much more..."

Don't we have to drive too many people out of Capitolin?
asked one of the elders anxiously.
This made the temple awkward.
Ambustus said quickly: "We don't need to do this! I mean... we have to strictly control the consumption of food and water~EbookFREE.me~ to prevent the disease from happening, so that we can stick to it in the mountains. For a longer period of time, stick to Camilles to rate the soldiers to repel the Dionyns and retake Rome..."
I haven't waited for the veterans to start discussing. The crowd stood up and said aloud: "My fathers and newcomers, I have doubts about whether Camilleus can recapture Rome! Just the Tritonian triumphal You have all seen, so many Roman civilians have joined their triumphant celebrations. What does this mean?! The civilians in Rome are betraying us and supporting the invading Dionia! With the support of the civilians, wear The Oniyas have more soldiers to defend Rome, and Camilos leads the army to be able to --"
"Nonsense!" Maruji Neensis screamed, screaming at the man who spoke: "Apulius, are you crazy?!"
Apleus also excused at the moment: "I am not crazy, my mind is very clear, you are equally clear, but they are all escaping! When Rome fell, so many people were trapped in the city, the first few days We can still see and hear the sound of fighting in the city, even the fire, smoke... But now! How many days have we not heard the fighting, but the square is getting more and more lively, I am afraid The Dionyns are thoroughly -"
"Guards! Guards! Let me put him down and shut it up!" Maruji Nenesis snarled.
Big Sippia hesitated. After all, this violated the regulations of the Senate, but saw that many highly respected elders such as Portitos, Ambustus, and Lucritius were nodding, and he immediately called. The guards.
