And old Pompeii was quite the drama queen—
His face showed an expression of immense grief.
Ye watched with great interest and remarked: "It doesn't look fake."
The grief was genuine, but the exact reason for it was entirely up to Pompey to decide.
At this moment, Pompey immediately spoke—
He said that he had just heard a lot of shocking news from His Excellency Lista, and he still couldn't believe that the upper echelons of Rome had become so corrupt.
Just now, he suddenly realized the current crisis in Rome and that reform was imperative.
Having suddenly realized his mistake, the old Pompey began to loudly proclaim and openly support Listaye and the Gracchus brothers' various new laws.
And he will succeed Lord Lista and pronounce the crimes of these elders.
When Pompey began to announce the various crimes of his old friends one by one, the vivid and descriptive descriptions made one wonder if he himself had participated in the crimes.
No one even considered how Pompey knew so much information when Lista and Pompey had only exchanged a few words.
But it doesn't matter anymore—
Even if the issue doesn't stand up to scrutiny, no one is foolish enough to stand up and accuse anyone.
It's clear to everyone that old Pompey has completely sided with the Night.
At this point, the increasingly enthusiastic old Pompey seemed to transform into light, truly becoming a messenger of justice, and began to represent the law in criticizing and judging those who were guilty.
Meanwhile, countless elders stared intently at old Pompey with bloodshot eyes, each one instantly transforming into a Sharingan, wishing they could kill Pompey with their gaze. Ye laughed when he saw this scene.
Traitors are more hateful than enemies.
With just a few clever tricks, he dismantled the seemingly enormous and cooperating Senate, Rome's strongest ally, and even turned them into enemies.
If Ye were to kill all the elders by himself, the problem could become very serious.
Wars will break out all over Rome.
In particular, class struggle will become completely irreconcilable. Blindly being radical will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but may even make the situation worse.
But things are different now—
Internal strife has been stirred up in the Senate.
At that time, the strength of the civilians can be effectively preserved. Watching them fight each other from the sidelines, observing their rise and fall, is truly wonderful!
"Damn Pompey!! You traitor, how could you—!" At this moment, one of the elders was so angry that his eyes were seeing stars, and his anger was rising. Since he was already so desperate, he might as well fight him to the death.
Just as this elder was about to self-destruct, intending to bring Pompey down as well and let the people know that this seemingly dignified and righteous old man was not a good person at all.
however--
The next moment, Ye's sword flew out and pierced through his throat.
When that elder was nailed to the ground in the square.
Countless elders cried out in terror.
Someone's dead!!! Although there was blood before, at least the person was alright, but now a veteran has actually died.
This completely shattered the elders' hopes.
He's really daring to kill people!
"Lord Pompey, you may continue..." Ye said this only briefly before continuing to watch the show.
And it was precisely because of this one sentence that the elders immediately blamed Pompey for everything!
—! Are they afraid they'll report Pompeo?
Pompey has indeed completely sided with Listerine, damn it! If it weren't for Pompey, perhaps no one in their Senate would have been killed, or at least no one would have died in front of them.
The elders were filled with despair and sorrow—their hatred for Pompey the Elder had reached its peak.
They dared not hate the horrible demon Lista Night, but for the traitor, that hatred was amplified two hundred percent.
Pompey was completely stunned at this point...
He felt a tremor in his heart, and a sense of hatred welled up inside him, but he dared not show it.
Lista Night is pushing himself to the brink of ruin.
Some elders were more offended by dying directly than by being reported and then tortured.
The families behind those elders will stand completely against him and will never let him go.
He knew that Lista was using him and manipulating him to achieve her desired goals.
But he could only pretend he knew nothing, that he had been tricked—this was the greatest disgrace in the world!
Chapter 124, "The Last Hero of Rome," right?
When Pompey realized he had no other choice but to follow the night into the dark.
Hesitation only leads to trouble. The old fox, who seems to understand this principle well, has finally shown his true fangs to his former compatriots.
If at the beginning Pompey still harbored a sliver of hope of returning to the opposing camp, he didn't dare to offend the elders too much.
His subsequent accusations were even more furious and frantic!
People are no longer going there specifically for one or two individuals, or for any particular person.
Instead, they immediately confront an entire family upon receiving a report.
night:……! ! !
666666, is the firepower really that strong?
He still underestimated the old fox's true abilities.
Unexpectedly, Pompey's combat power is so fierce... Knowing so many dark secrets, and hearing about those dark and cruel things, Ye's smile gradually faded.
He suddenly thought to himself—You deserve to die, Your Excellency Pompey!
He didn't believe that Pompey knew so much about Rome's darkness without having been involved himself.
Sooner or later, however, he will get rid of those opportunists like old Pompey.
Rome didn't need these parasites. If he weren't worried that wiping them out all at once would completely shake Rome's foundations, he might have really wanted to act recklessly.
Afterwards, Pompey's behavior seemed to be a fuse, a perfect example!
When Pompey was halfway through his speech, many of the elders became restless, fearing that if he continued, they would become targets of purges... Moreover, they realized that Ye was truly capable of taking action, and waiting any longer would only lead to their deaths.
They must take action; they must save themselves!
Driven by a strong will to survive, some elders approached Ye, and soon a unique denunciation meeting took place in the central square of Rome.
The elders denounced each other and desperately tried to curry favor with Ye, hoping to join his side.
However, aside from the initial and fastest batch of elders, when nearly a third of the elders sided with Night, Night became less willing to accept their surrender.
Many of the elders had already been exposed for numerous crimes by Pompey and others, and were therefore already nailed to the execution rack, beyond saving!
And just as this massive movement was drawing to a close, the angry roars of the people grew louder.
In the end, many elders were utterly despondent and were pushed onto the newly erected gallows.
"Thank the gods for their mercy."
You should have died by burning at the stake or other cruel methods.
Under the witness of the gods, he would now merely have his hands bound as a public display, preserving his physical integrity and dignity. That night, he bid farewell to the elders.
The elders let out roars filled with resentment, unwillingness, and despair.
Some cursed, some pleaded, and some wept. At this moment, these once supreme rulers of Rome were now groveling, remorseful, and desperate, revealing the most vulnerable side of human nature.
When faced with the fear of death, they were afraid, terrified, and utterly terrified.
Even the greatest heroes in the world, when faced with the agony of waiting for death, may not be able to bear the despair and kneel down to beg.
Moreover, these are high-ranking officials who are incompetent and have long been corrupt souls.
Their disgraceful behavior was completely exposed to the public, allowing the Romans to observe and judge them...
The exhilarating sensation was something the Romans had never experienced before.
On this day, some wept, while others cheered, but aside from the differences, there were also similarities—almost everyone roared.
But Yena's last words, supposedly out of mercy, were seen as devilish by the elders.
Although hanging doesn't leave them unrecognizable after death like burning at the stake, who says it's not painful? If you really want a quick death, beheading would be faster.
And in the final despair that was suffocating, truly suffocating them.
The miracle didn't happen!
Or rather, the light of miracles shines upon their enemies.
Many senators were hanged on this day, and their bodies were eventually displayed in front of the gates of Rome.
As news of what happened in Rome that day spread, very quickly—
The incident caused a huge uproar throughout Rome, and even several neighboring countries were shocked.
The once arrogant and powerful Roman Senate was thus reduced to a mere handful of survivors through wanton slaughter.
This red storm came suddenly and too quickly—so quickly that many people didn't even have time to react or realize how serious the problem was before it was too late to turn back.
The heavy casualties in the Senate naturally enraged the top Roman nobles behind it.
but--
Just when all the factions thought they would turn their swords against their common enemy, Night!
First, a family, angered by the death of a nobleman in the Senate after being denounced by Pompey, suddenly imposed economic sanctions on the Pompey family. Later, they even sent private soldiers to invade the Pompey family's territory, killing many people.
That night, the entire Pompeii family was stained crimson.
After a night of terror and lingering fear, the enemy was finally defeated when Pompey's private army arrived at dawn.
Many Pompeii nobles had already fallen in pools of blood, and Strabo Pompeii was so terrified that he began to talk nonsense.
Old Pompey was furious—
After investigation, all the evidence pointed to another family.
