Rome.

"Burn them, damned heretic!"

In the courtyard of a Romanesque four-story house, countless men, women, and children shouted in unison.

On the stairs in front of them, a group of soldiers was dragging several men and women down, the latter cried out in horror, but they were only answered by the roar of hatred around them, one of the young men suddenly broke free from the soldier who was grabbing him, and pounced on the woman next to him to grab her hand, but at the same time the short sword in the hand of a soldier pierced him in the back, and he threw himself forward with a scream, hugging the crying woman.

"Blasphemous woman!"

A man on the lookout suddenly yelled.

Then he rushed up and hugged the woman, and then several other men's eyes lit up, and they rushed up without hesitation to tear them apart together, regardless of the crowd gathering here, and directly pressed the woman to the ground, the young man screamed in mourning, and at the same time the soldier behind him pulled out a short sword, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, stretched out his helpless hand, stared at the dead eyes, and watched his lover who suffered **** swallow his last breath.

The onlookers cheered and swarmed up, stepping on his dead body and rushing into his home, and then began to fight for his property......

The Senate had decreed that the lives and property of heretics were no longer protected by Roman law, unless they burned their heretical cults in public.

Heresy tokens.

Scriptures.

Or denounce other heretics.

Otherwise they will all be auctioned off as slaves, their property, their lives, and their women will no longer be protected by the laws of the Empire, and the heretics will be burned in public as blasphemers, or thrown into the gladiatorial arena as training trophies for the gladiators, and given to the beasts of prey.

And it's not just the city of Rome.

The whole empire no longer allowed any heretical beliefs, and once the propagator was found dead, the believers were reduced to slavery, and all Roman citizens and the inhabitants of the conquered lands of the provinces had to believe in the gods of Olympia and abandon their previous beliefs, otherwise they would all be treated as heretics. Of course, it is best to believe in the gods of war, Ares and Athena, including their romanized names changed back to Greek names, and all the names of the gods of Olympia changed back to romanized, after all, the god of war came to call himself Ares instead of Mars. Although he didn't mention this question, he didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, after all, the senators didn't want Rome to become the next Pompey, and Pompey was destroyed overnight because he offended the gods.

You have to be careful.

Anyway, those heretics are not legitimate, and it is not the first time that the Empire has dealt with them in this way, but in the past, those were limited in scale and most of the time they took a blind attitude, and this time it was simply a complete one.

And so began the revelry of the city of Rome.

All the Romans who had purified their faith and the soldiers and officials of Rome rushed into the houses of heretics whom they knew the details for a long time, and dragged them out to force them to return to their pure faith, and lit fires that disagreed, raped their women, and plundered their belongings. And such a carnival can easily get out of control, in fact, countless people waiting to get rich expect it to get out of control, so chaos spreads in Rome, the streets are full of burning heretics, women's cries are heard in one house after another, those looting treasures are sweeping the city under the sign of the gods, even some non-heretical Romans have been looted, in fact, the order in the city of Rome has been out of control.

However, the Senate was not prepared to interfere.

Anyway, no matter how chaotic it is, it won't affect them, they are very safe in their own mansions, and besides, chaos like the city of Rome has long been commonplace, in this coup d'état, the vast majority of the heads of state are killed by murder, the Janissaries kill their masters and elect a new one, or even simply sell the throne as goods to the city of the high bidder, this level of chaos is not worth mentioning.

"This is Rome!"

Yang Feng sighed at the back of the crowd.

The next moment, wearing a black cloak, he walked to the public pool, and then as if boiling, the water vapor surged from the pool, and in the blink of an eye, the entire house was flooded......

Three hours later, inside the bottom of a merchant ship in the port of Ostia.

"They are kidnapping God's pious people, dishonoring chaste women, greedily drinking the blood of baptized children, and those devil's slaves ruling over the people whom the Lord trusts, and if you remain indifferent, God's believers will sacrifice more in this persecution. Therefore I encourage you and I beseech you, not me, but the Lord Himself, believers in Christ, all soldiers, rich and poor, must act quickly and let us enter a holy war, a war for faith, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot, blood for blood! ”

Yang Feng, who had changed his skin, said solemnly.

In front of him, hundreds of Yahweh believers listened quietly, the woman who was rescued by **** and then rescued by him and brought him here by the way, with the flame of revenge burning in her eyes.

"But, but doesn't the Lord teach us to be tolerant?"

One believer said weakly.

"Tolerance of the devil is blasphemy against the Lord."

Yang Feng continued to say solemnly.

"Yes, we can't bear it any longer, they persecuted us again and again, our tolerance was not exchanged for their tolerance, only they persecuted more cruelly again and again, for more than a hundred years, they have killed countless of us, raped countless of our women, robbed us of our property, sent our relatives to the gladiatorial arena for their entertainment, we must resist!"

Another voice roared.

"But we don't have weapons!"

Another believer said weakly.

"The Lord is with us, faith is our weapon, and as long as we have the courage to die for the Lord, anything is our weapon, even if it is just a stick."

Yang Feng said.

As he spoke, he picked up a large wooden stick of unknown purpose next to him, and held it up in the air to make a wave, just like Brother Tucker in Robin Hood.

Anyway, playing a god stick or something is the job he is most familiar with, and demagoguery is his forte, obviously it is not enough to make the Romans pure in their faith, and this kind of persecution of Yahweh believers is not the first time these guys have done it, although it was all over in the end, but it seems that there was no big trouble. The force value of Yahweh's followers in this era is too low, far less than Spartacus, who made the Romans anxious back then, and it would be boring if this time was the case, he wanted not a unilateral purge, but a religious war to bleed the Roman Empire, and it was better to break the empire to pieces......

It's not impossible.

At this time, the generals stationed in the Roman Empire itself were a bit warlord-oriented, including Caracalla, who had killed his younger brother before he took power, and for this reason, he was assassinated by his own guards the next year in history, and then his captain of the guard, who was born from the descendants of slaves in North Africa, was elected by his subordinates as the head of the empire according to the Amnesty of Annus. But at the same time, the Eastern Legion elected another Roman as its head, and then there was a civil war, and the latter was assassinated after the victory, and then there was a civil war, and the Roman Empire fell into a half-century-long internal melee, which is also the crisis of the third century in the history of the empire.

So he wanted to incite the believers of Yahweh to rise up in revolt, and then officially open the curtain on the civil war and division of the Roman Empire.

"There's a soldier coming!"

Just then, the sailors on the deck suddenly ran in and shouted.

There was chaos in the cabin.

"Do not be afraid, do not be cowardly, the Lord is with us!"

Yang Feng muttered solemnly.

As he spoke, he walked directly to the deck with the big wooden stick, and the one behind him who shouted to resist pulled out a small dagger and followed, and then even the **** woman stood up, looked at the others with disdain, and then followed behind empty-handed, and the others in the cabin looked at each other.

The owner of the boat hesitated and poked his head out, watching Yang Feng and the three of them walk towards the gangway, he cautiously leaned out, and could see more than a dozen soldiers on the dock coming, it was obvious that they were being informed, and soon Yang Feng and the three of them walked down the gangway, just colliding with those soldiers. Then the scene that made his jaw drop on the ground appeared, and he saw the new brother holding a cross in one hand and waving a big wooden stick in the other as if he had entered a no-man's land, almost knocking over one with a stick and making those soldiers powerless, and around his body, there seemed to be a faint layer of fluorescent shroud, which looked extremely solemn and holy.

"Miracle, the Lord has appeared!"

The owner muttered to himself.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran back to the cabin, and then beckoned the sailors to roll out two large wooden barrels, which opened and revealed the hilts of dozens of short swords.

"The Lord has appeared, and miracles, miracles have appeared!"

He drew a dagger and roared excitedly.

Then he and those sailors drew their short swords and rushed out of the cabin, and the remaining believers behind them followed out suspiciously, looking at the dock with dumbfounded eyes, at this time Yang Feng, who was faintly visible in the holy light, was still beating those soldiers, of course they didn't know that even if the thousand-year-old demon in front of them didn't use superpowers, killing a few Roman soldiers was the same as playing. All they could see was a brother with the blessing of the Holy Light, holding a cross in one hand and reciting the Bible, and the other hand brandishing a large wooden stick and strolling forward like a stroll of soldiers, the man and woman behind him had already picked up the soldiers' swords, and the slaves who had been watching the excitement also silently joined in like a flock following the shepherd.

"The Lord is with us!"

The shipowner roared excitedly.

"The Lord is with us!"

All the believers on deck roared excitedly.

Then they rushed to the docks......
