Chapter 20 The Destruction of the Pearl (2)

Little Gatu's hot words aroused Merisus's indignation. He once lost his calmness because his wife and children died tragically in the fight between the rioters because of the so-called "legal" and "faith" and other words. He raised his hands and asked: "If you are so indignant and dissatisfied with Caesar, why don't you be brave enough with your citizens in the city of Rome, but run to our vassal city and incite swords to kill the people. What is our city? Who dares to disobey the orders? Could it be that we granted Caesar the great power of military and political power? So many high-ranking people in your Republic have given up their freedom and dignity, so why should we die to defend your rights? And in your eyes, we do not deserve the most basic freedom to obey and protect the city!"

Merisus became more and more excited as he spoke, and tears couldn't help but slide down his cheeks. He remembered the painful experience, and finally sobbed with his shoulders. Even the soldiers who were listening to the quarrels were silent. Xiao Katu stood on the steps and was speechless. Finally, he could only say to him: "I can only say that I am very sorry about this, but I will never go to talk to the generals who besieged the city or kneel. I don't expect to change everyone's wishes, I just have to stick to myself."

"Your persistence and stubbornness have killed tens of thousands of innocent people," said Merisus.

"If you want to blame, blame Caesar, who started the war. He was the first to destroy order and rules, otherwise no one would die. I eat on the ground every day just to mourn these innocent souls." Xiao Katu said calmly.

"Then you should die in this siege battle. If you survive, you will also implicate people from other places. Your hypocrisy cannot save anyone's life. You are a butcher executioner. You will not shed blood!" Merisus was completely excited and cursed. Soon the soldiers drove him out. At this time, Merisus did not have any fantasies in his heart, and decided to die with Xiao Katu, in order to get consequences and meaning for his wife and children's death.

He was on the dim street, carefully and slowly stepping on it. Most of the stinky corpses in the scorching heat were innocently killed or starved citizens. These people were happy and plump not long ago. In the current season, they should lie under the cool shade of the courtyard. Young men and women bit the hook pen in their mouths, and while thinking, they wrote emotional words on the board. Children were running around in the sun with toys, while the elderly were lying on the bed without doing anything, listening to the lazy cicadas in southern Gaul. The young couple looked forward to their future life, and were freely and happily, and reproduced at any time and anywhere...

Now everything is destroyed. Everything is not as beautiful as before. Marcelia, this pearl city by the ocean, is really completely finished.

"Since Xiao Jiatu wants everyone from all over the city to accompany him to bury him, then I will turn around and ask Xiao Jiatu to bury him for our city!"

At night, Triali's men hung linen and cables with wooden poles. After begging for the understanding of the Immortal God, they climbed up the gable from the house behind the temple, then lit things and threw them in through the narrow window. Soon the flames rose, Bipu sounded, and Gatu was awakened by a noise. He jumped up to get the dagger that was originally placed by the cabinet, but found it impossible to find it. At this time, the entire Immortal Temple was full of shouts and scoldings. "The riots and riots against you have already happened!" Sochis ran up to report with a panic expression, "For your safety, it is better to leave here as soon as possible. A noble man found a ship for me, and he can run out at night, not to mention that there will be wind and rain tonight, and the enemy's blockade fleet may not be able to find us."

"No!" Gatu shouted, then looked for his sword everywhere. Munagius and Sochis explained that because the servants and entourage were afraid that he would commit suicide with the sword, they put away the weapon.

Xiao Jiatu's eyes became fierce, and she shouted that she was betrayed by her disciples and slaves, and she even beat and slapped several of them. Munajius and others were so scared that they all lie at his feet, asking him to calm his anger and decide how to decide on the matter and future as soon as possible. "If you really cherish your disciples and friends, you should treat yourself well!"

The scene was already chaotic. Even the Sicilian soldiers who had vowed to follow Xiao Katu, now as Xiao Katu said, "Human hearts are like boilers. Only when there is fire can it heat up. Without fire, it will not last long and it will become cold." They began to worry about their lives and property, or were secretly bewitched by someone, and began to take off their armor and throw them away their weapons and run away.

The mobs rushed in from all directions and began to smash stones and arrows into the temple with slingshots and hand-throwing methods. The dome door and window were quickly covered with bullet marks. The night wind was filled with shouts of "killing Gatu". Xiao Gatu burst into tears on his back and shouted, "Why do we have to deny our beliefs in order to survive? Then what we learned in the past is useless?"

At this moment, Munagius winked, and Sochis immediately, together with the servants, and together with the servants, he set up the shouting little Katu and left the burning temple through the side door in a mess.

On the street, the mobs were still crowded together and kept a distance from them. They were neither willing to relax their goals nor dared to get too close. They just threw debris from afar. Xiao Jiatu also had to turn back to argue with them, but was constantly pulled and ran forward by the soldiers. It was raining at this moment. Once it was dawn, it was time for Li Bida's besieged army to make a general attack.

"There's no time!" At this moment, a sudden inspiring shout from the crowd, "Citizens, don't be as cowardly as Xiao Katu. Everyone rushed forward together. Even if there is any damage, as long as it can save the city of Marcellia, it is worth it, and it is also the hero of our city!" In the end, this statement played a decisive role. The people in the front screamed and pounced on them. Sochis swung his sword and slashed the two in the front, but was also overwhelmed by the crowds coming from behind.

On the ground, a crazy woman grabbed his sword with her hands and let out a terrifying cry, raised it high and stabbed it repeatedly. Sochis was soon stabbed to death by blood and blood, which aroused the confidence of thousands of people on the field. They bravely stepped forward, beaten the arms and beat them, and killed the soldiers and slaves around Katu one by one, seized their weapons, first killed Apollonide, who was trying to escape, and then stabbed Munagius, who protected Katu, and trampled him to death.

When he reached seven or eight swords and pierced into the little Katu body leaning against the corner from all directions, the greatest citizen raised his head in pain and looked at the dark night sky with raindrops constantly falling.

In an instant, stone bullets with fire, with strange and grand sounds, passed through his rapidly shrinking pupils.

Li Bida's siege has begun!
Chapter completed!
