Vol 8 Chapter 114: Roman Senate in crisis

"For the safety of Rome, it is always prudent to be cautious! The citizens of Rome are mostly transferred to attack the Helsnikis. There are only 3,000 young and middle-aged citizens in Rome, and there are indeed some emptiness in the army!" Sith took the message and raised his own concerns, and offered to take the initiative: "I propose to immediately mobilize citizens over the age of 50, and also arm the civilians and free people in the Avon Ting district. It was the famous slum area of ​​Rome City at this time, guarding the city of Rome together, until Camillaus led the army back! When the meeting was over, I immediately went to the city guard Casius and completed the matter together."
Although many veterans expressed doubts that Diaonia would immediately attack the city of Rome, but for security reasons, they still agreed to the proposal, and even some people suggested: simply send people to contact the surrounding Latin allies, let them send Citizens came to help guard the city of Rome.
However, some people expressed their opposition: most of the citizens of the Latin League all went to attack the Helsniki with Camilos. Where are the extra soldiers to help us, I am afraid that they will know that the Dionyans invaded the Latin The news will instead ask us for help.
This proposal is finally gone.
At this time, Abinius sighed: "According to the previous report, Camillaus has been attacking the city of Feren Tirum for some time. It is at the most critical moment, if he is allowed to withdraw now. The efforts I have made before are probably in vain."
Many people have listened and sighed again and again, seeing that the Helsinkis will be destroyed, that piece of land will belong to Rome, but when they are about to succeed, they will give up and let them be willing.
Apelius, the enemy of Camilos, took the opportunity to stand up and accused: "The elders and the newcomers, Camillaus, as a Roman dictator, led an unprecedented 70,000 army, consuming huge amounts of money every day. Food, but so far has not conquered the city of Feren Tirum, completely destroying the forces of the Helsinki, and also let Rome fall into such a dangerous situation, he must be responsible for this! We should not let him withdraw the army first, Instead, he urged him to take down the city of Feren Tirum in these two days, and then return to Rome quickly, so that it will not waste our supplies for the army. If Camilles can't do it, wait for it. After returning to the Dionyrians, we should consider whether to give him punishment."
The words of Apleus made some elders feel heartfelt.
This made Portitos very angry, because if Apleus's proposal was approved, it would mean that his proposal to "let Camillas return to the army as soon as possible" is likely to be shelved by the Senate, so he is angry loudly. Blame Apelius: "You are putting the city of Rome in danger!"
Despite the great hopes of Pottitus, Apelius was able to catch an opportunity to sue Camillaus and to fight it out. He retorted loudly: "According to the practice of Ambustus, we will be able to do tomorrow. Organizing nearly 10 million defensive troops, there is such a sufficient force to defend the city, I have never heard of any forces capable of storming a city within one day, let alone a Roman who can accommodate more than 100,000 people. City, we must have confidence, can hold on to Camilles to return to the army!
What's more, this is just an adult guess. The Diaonians have a greater chance of not attacking Rome immediately. After all, this is a big risk, and we have to discard it for this small possibility. I don’t think it’s a smart way to get rid of the Helsnikis and get a new colony. I don’t think it is good for us in Rome.
It is precisely because the Daonian army has invaded Latin, other races that hate Rome will inevitably jump out again against us. We must only destroy the Helsinkis and seriously weaken the power of the Walsi people. Concentrate on all our strengths against our enemy - Diaonia!

Apelius’s remarks were justified, and Potistus was speechless at the time.
At this time, Marugin Nessis, who also sat in the ivory chair in front of the venue, spoke: "Apelius is right, urging Camillaus to eliminate the Helsniki as soon as possible, which is beneficial to us. The Dionyns fight!"
Originally, many of the veterans were very impressed with the advice of Apleus, and the support of Maruji Ninshi Shi was to let them make up their minds. This is because Maruji Siensis is also a veteran veteran of the Senate. His age is similar to that of Potitis, and he has served as the governor several times (less than Potitis). It was only because when the Celtics broke through the city of Rome, he did not stay and stick to the Capitoline Hill, but he retreated early. This became a stain on his political career, so after the reconstruction of Rome, in the veteran He seems to be relatively low-key, but this does not mean that his influence is small. After all, his full name is Pubrius Cornelius Marouginnes, he is a Roman giant. The most important representative of the Komenelius clan in the Senate.
Despite the opposition of the veterans such as Potitis and Ambrosius, the final Senate passed the proposal of Apelius: urged Camilous to capture the city of Ferentirum within three days, and then quickly Returned to the army to return to Rome.
Portitos looked at Apelius, who was looking at himself. He hated it. He knew that Apelius seemed to be thinking about Rome. He was actually reporting private enmity. Because no matter whether Camilles captures the city of Ferentirum within the prescribed time, he will not have a good fruit to eat, because even if he completes the task, and Rome is attacked, the people will resent him as a dictator. Protecting Rome, he is likely to be accused at the Citizens' Congress after the war. And if he does not care about the order of the Senate and returns to the rescue in time, he will offend the veterans who are eager to expand and win more benefits.
Damn Aplius! Portitos said loudly: "Since we have made a decision, we should immediately send a messenger to inform Camillaus, and also let him know the news of the attack of the Dionyrian army, so that he can step up the battle. Prepare to capture the city of Ferentirum as soon as possible."
Although Potistus said so, he didn't think so. In his understanding of Camillaus, he worried that Camillaus, who was attacked by Rome, would probably refuse to attack the city of Ferentirum. Return to the army. After all, Camillas is a dictator. During his tenure, his power is supreme. He can deny the resolution of the Senate and do things according to his own ideas. In fact, during the expedition, Camilles could have chosen a veteran in the Senate as his agent and had the right to decide everything in the city. Unfortunately, Camilles, who was modest and cautious and did not like to take power, gave up this. A right has led to today’s dilemma.
However, Apleus apparently also perceives the intention of Portitos. He directly responded: "We must not forget that Camilos is a dictator. During his tenure, the proposal we passed can only be against him. The suggestion, if he does not want to obey, we also have no way to take him... So I suggest that the special courier appointed by the Senate to rush to the barracks of Feren Tirum, first tell Camilous the proposal we passed, wait until At the end of the siege, tell him about the invasion of the Dionyrians. To this end, we should block the gates of Rome and prohibit anyone from going out..."
"You are crazy! You are defying the laws of Rome! You are provoking the dictator of Rome! Cough... Cough..." Pottyus gasped with a cough, and the body with a cane was a little unstable. .
The next old man hurriedly helped him.
Maruji Nenesis’s seemingly concerned persuasion:
You don’t want to be too excited about the old friends of Portitous. Apelius is also doing this to allow Camilos to concentrate on the task and not to divide it. Heart. He also thought about the overall situation of Rome, and he risked being punished by Camilos."
"Yeah! I think Apelius's proposal makes sense!..." There is an endorsement of Maruji Neensis, and many veterans have expressed their support for Apelus. They are the reason Dare to be so bold, the reason is self-evident: although Camilleus treats the enemy with brilliance in the military, he is gentle and amiable to the Romans and even the veteran of the Senate. During his three dictators, he spent most of his time. And the rights to stabilize the country were handed over to the Senate, and they did not over-recognize, and they did not punish any veteran, even Apuleus, the sinner who tarnished his reputation and killed him in Rome. It is also safe and sound, and has been staying at the Senate~EbookFREE.me~ so that these veterans will be fearless.
Seeing that the veteran elders like Lukritius also expressed support for the new proposal of Apleus, Potistus calmed down, sat back in his seat, closed his eyes, and simply disappeared, not bother.
Sure enough, the elders finally elected the messenger to be the city guard, Milusius, to know that his full name is Milusius Cornelius Scipio, and the old veteran Maru Ginen Sith belongs to a clan, and thus knows who he will listen to.
Potitus learned about the result and only snorted.
After the election, the venue fell into a short silence. Ambustus took the opportunity to go to Rome to mobilize the war and get approval, and Apelus also went out to inform the city chief Milu. Hughes implemented the resolution of the Senate.
The other veterans continued to sit in the venue and even started to contact the slaves to bring dinner to them. Obviously they were prepared to continue discussing the night. After all, did the Daonians land? Are there battles with the army they have led to Paulus? Do you really want to capture Ostia? ... These need to be determined, so they are waiting to continue to have news from the West Coast.
