"It's naïve." Severus, who was also looking blankly at the fig tree outside the window, learned that the senators of the Senate were about to propose to the alien messenger that gold and silver should end the 'undesirable conflict'. He pursed his lips disdainfully.

"These fools, at a critical juncture of the Empire, are trying to kidnap me and seize power? Now that the enemy has already arrived in the city, still thinking about spending money to buy peace? Money? Hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers, hundreds of thousands of huge ships. An expedition of this magnitude came to the city of Rome after many hardships and countless battles. If you want to pay this huge army to retreat, how much do you have to spend! It is not enough to move the whole city of Rome!! Severus thought angrily.

Glancing coldly at the elders, Severus looked at a henchman at the entrance of the hall in the distance and nodded slightly.

In a short time, a large group of Roman knights wearing red tasseled crowns and red cloaks rushed across the Grand Roman Forum to the council chamber.

After the long opening speech finally ended, Guo Jia clapped his hands with a chuckle. After a pause, he turned his gaze to Emperor Severus and asked softly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, what are your plans?" Will this war continue? ”

"Ahem." Severus raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, and said with a somewhat wandering gaze, "I think it's time to end this war." With that, Severus gestured to Arnubis with his gaze.

"That's right." At this time, Arnubis couldn't continue to pretend, and after pulling an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth, he looked at Guo Jia and said, "Our Roman Empire is willing to pay a huge amount of military expenses for your army, and I hope your army can leave here." We signed a peace treaty and will never fight again. ”

Guo Jia slowly lowered his eyelids and pursed the corners of his mouth without saying a word. There was silence in the Buryat chamber. All eyes were on the black-haired alien. Or uneasy. Either with anger on his face, or with a secret joy in his heart, or with a blank face. Everyone was waiting for Guo Jia's reply.

"Huh." After a moment of silence. Guo Jia slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked proudly at the Romans in the council room. With an inexplicable smile on his face. A look of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "How much can you contribute?" ”

The Romans were relieved. Some people are good to talk about, but they are afraid that they are not willing to talk about it.

"This." Arnubis wanted to say less, but he was afraid of angering these aliens. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand pounds of gold, fifty thousand pounds of silver!" ”

As soon as Arnubis's words fell, a tumultuous noise erupted in the entire council room. Almost everyone stood up and attacked and insulted Arnubis with excitement! Such a huge fortune was given to the alien race by the bastard Arnubis so lightly? Who in the council chamber could not be angry? As for the consequences of not paying, that's not something that these angry people need to think about.

"Hey." Guo Jia looked at the Romans who had begun to fight with disdain, and his heart was full of disdain. It's all about this time. I'm still thinking about guarding my goods. I didn't want to say yes on my side, but they made a fuss on their own. I really don't know whether to live or die!

"Quiet! Be quiet!! Several respected senators struggled to maintain order, and even the guards outside the council chamber were called in, which gradually calmed down the chaos. Still, there were people cursing at Arnubis and throwing shoes at him.

Arnubis, whose face was gloomy, looked at the shoes that had fallen beside him, and the anger in his heart had burned to the top of his head.

"These idiots!" Arnubis didn't know what to say. The present city of Rome could hardly resist the onslaught of an alien army. What do you want to do at this time to settle these aliens without spending money and buy respite for Rome? This period of infighting led to a significant decline in the military power of the Romans, who were already largely unable to resist the invasion of foreign armies.

Glancing at Severus, who was expressionless, Arnubis's eyes were full of anger. He was cheated and took the initiative to take the lead. In the future, you won't be able to mix in the city of Rome.

"I refuse." Guo Jia's steady voice immediately quieted the entire hall. Guo Jia sneered and walked onto the marble floor that could be wiped to reflect a clear human face. Raising his head slightly, he said in a deep voice, "We are now in the city." We're in a position to win. ”

Turning his gaze to Arnubis, he smiled and said, "What you said was to give money." No matter how much, for us, we will put it here, and we can take it when we enter the city. Therefore, we rejected the offer to exchange goods for the return of soldiers. ”

After a pause, Guo Jia looked at the Romans with different expressions, and then said, "We will only accept one proposal. That is surrender. ”

"Impossible!" The young Zhuang Romans, whose faces were flushed, immediately became angry and clamoured. Severus and the others also looked at Guo Jia with unkind faces.

At this time, the Romans did not reach the point of exhaustion. They still have a lot of power in their hands. It's just that they don't belong to each other, and they are even hostile, and they can't form a joint force. Although it is in the midst of internal and external troubles. And lost the right to dominate the sea. But the Romans would never have chosen to surrender at this time. Around the city of Rome gathered dozens of legions, totaling more than 100,000 people!

"We're strong." Guo Jia paced back and forth in the conference hall with his head held high. "We have enough hellfire to destroy an entire city," he shouted. If you resist, the city will be burned to the ground. You guys. Really figured it out? ”

......Hearing this, Severus and the others, who had seen the power of incendiary bombs in naval battles, fell silent. They thought that if the mighty hellfire was set off in the city of Rome, the city that represented the glory of the Romans would ......

Thinking of this, Severus and the others immediately shuddered.

"Don't be delusional!" There were young radical Romans who shouted: "The glory of our Romans, you barbarians will not understand!" With the blessing of the great gods, the Romans will surely defeat any enemy! You too will eventually fall at the feet of the Romans and become lowly slaves! ”

"Yes, that's it!!"

"Well said!"

"Great!"

"Die, barbarian!"

A large number of Romans began to heckle. These people lived in peace and ease in Rome all year round, and heard the news every day that the empire had conquered wherever and where. The radicals, who were full of Roman pride and pride, would not have understood the horrors of war!

What's more, Rome was in chaos at this time. I don't know how many people are thinking about fishing in troubled waters. How could they possibly agree to surrender?

"In that case, then we don't have anything to talk about." Guo Jia glanced at the surging Romans in the council hall with disdain, and said coldly, "Everything is done on the battlefield." Leave! ”

Guo Jia didn't expect these Great Qin people to be so stubborn. I've seen the terrifying power of hellfire. Naturally, they should know that once they launched a siege battle, it would be impossible for their city to stop the terrifying power of hellfire.

"Miscalculated." Guo Jia shook his head secretly, he didn't expect that the things that he was full of confidence would actually end like this. It seems that Lord Taiwei still understands that this kind of thing will not happen if he does not completely defeat the enemy, put the snow bright sword on their necks, and surrender voluntarily.

"Kill this alien and use him to sacrifice to the gods!"

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

Guo Jia's arrogant attitude angered many radical Romans. It has always been the Romans who have been arrogant to show off their might in front of foreign races, when did the situation turn the other way around? They roared and tried to sacrifice the great god with this arrogant messenger.

The atmosphere of encouragement immediately made the scene start to get out of control. Even if Severus and Arnubis intervened to stop it, it would be useless. Many fanatical Romans ran to the guards and tried to kill people with their weapons.

"Bastard! This group of barbarians, the two countries don't understand if they don't fight each other? Guo Jia, who was calm, was already extremely angry in his heart. I thought that a country that could have such a civilization must know the most basic etiquette, but where did I think they would be so crazy?

"Miscalculated." Guo Jia smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, "Sure enough, what Lord Taiwei said is right, I was blinded by the thought of meritorious service this time." Not to mention being buried here in vain, it also affected these entourages. ”

"Uh-!!" Although he couldn't understand what these Great Qin people were saying, Dian Wei, who was Guo Jia's guard, understood the actions of those Romans pulling out their weapons. When he entered the council chamber before, Dian Wei, as the captain of the guard, was not confiscated. At this time, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately pulled out his double iron halberd, roared angrily and guarded Guo Jia's side, and killed him in the direction of the gate.

Some agitated Romans stepped forward to try to stop them, but they were easily killed by the fierce Dian Wei without accident. Mutilated limbs and splattered blood pushed things in unpredictable directions.

Killed someone, saw blood. By this time, even Severus and Alnubis could not stop things from deteriorating rapidly.

With Dian Wei's guard, Guo Jia quickly rushed out of the council room, and also picked up a short sword from the killed guard to defend himself. The great Confucians of this era, civil and military are necessary.

"I've got you covered today." Guo Jia came behind Dian Wei and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, hey." Dian Wei, who was as majestic as an iron tower, laughed, waved the iron halberd in his hand, laughed and said, "What's wrong with this, Lord Taiwei ordered us to protect the adult, then we will bring the adult back!" ”

"Good!" The young Guo Jia also showed a smile on his face, laughed and said, "Let's kill today!" (To be continued)
