If what they said at the beginning could make the civilians a little wary, but the subsequent slander of Marcus touched the sensitive nerves of the civilians: "I recognize you, you are the lackey of the Cominelius clan. You were the one who falsely accused Lord Marcus at the citizen meeting!"

"Graius, you were among the nobles who captured Lord Marcus, and you dared to appear in front of us!"

...

Just as the crowd was excited, a voice shouted: "Beat them to death and avenge Lord Marcus!" Soon, the quarrel turned into a fight, and the venue became chaotic, screams and cries sounded.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this on the stage, Thormid was afraid of chaos, so he hurriedly asked Davers for advice: "Do you want to stop it?"

But Davers shook his head: "Wait a minute."

After a while, the trumpet sounded, and the soldiers on the sidelines roared again and sent a team to squeeze into the crowd. The dozen nobles and diners who were beaten to death were beaten to death. The soldiers dragged them out and threw them on the sidelines without caring about it. However, they sent doctors to treat other injured civilians.

At this time, Davers continued to whisper on the platform to the calmed crowd: "You probably don't know yet. After Marcus learned that he was falsely accused, he quietly wrote a letter to his family, expressing his determination to die. Do you want to know what he said in the letter?!"

After hearing the translation of the voice transmitter, the Roman people were curious and guilty and shouted without hesitation: "Think!!!..."

"Then let Pubrius Manlius read this letter to you." After Davers said that, the Roman people were surprised: Pubrius Manlius is the elder of the Roman Senate and the current patriarch of the Manlius clan. He actually defected to the Dionians?!

When the people who expressed doubts saw the person walking onto the platform, they widened their eyes in surprise: It was indeed Publius Manlius.

Facing the gaze of the Roman people, the current patriarch of Manlius lowered his head in shame. At this time, Davers's voice sounded in his ears: "Start, Lord Publius!"

He shook his whole body, and his mind appeared in his mind last night's fierce soldiers cut off more than a dozen heads of the Roman nobles he was familiar with in front of him. The blood and heads on the ground shattered the fragile resistance in his heart. For the survival of the family, he chose to surrender, just like when Marcus was executed by the Senate, he quickly made a decision to "submit to the elders and no longer use the name of Capitolinus."

Under Davers' smiling gaze, his hands trembled slightly, and he took out the letter written by Davers's notes imitating Marcus under the oral of his words: "...Pu...Pubrius, my brother, you don't need to... come and persuade me again. I know the despicable tricks of the Senate. I slander me to restore the king's rule, and this is to kill me!

I have fought bravely throughout my life and have never surrendered to anyone, so I will never kneel down and beg for mercy from them. Even if they use great crimes to slander my reputation, usurp my honor, and make the civilians who follow me in dispute doubt me, I am fearless!

My only regret is that I have made a promise to help those who believe in me, follow me, fight with the Senate together, help them relieve their heavy debts, let them all own their own land, and let their cattle and sheep be grazed on public land in Rome! In fact, there is another promise in my heart that I have never told them, that is, to allow them to have the opportunity to run for senior officials in Rome, become veterans, and serve as consuls... Unfortunately, all this can no longer be realized.

I finally understand now that it is almost impossible to win power for the common people through words! If the gods can give me another chance, I will definitely arm the people, use sharp spears and the anger in my heart to overthrow the terrible and greedy rule of the Roman nobles, and establish a beautiful political system like the Kingdom of Dioria in the south of Rome that I often told you. Regardless of nobles and civilians, every citizen enjoys equal rights!——” When I read this, Publius Manlius looked up at Davers not far away. The real writer of the letter was listening carefully, as if the letter really existed.

When his eyes turned to the high platform, he suddenly saw that many people were already sobbing. He was stunned for a moment, subconsciously increased the volume and continued to recite: "Pubrius, my brother, you will work hard in the family in the future. If possible, try to help a group of civilians in difficulty... I am very unwilling to die as a dictatorial crime! The gods are above, and they will punish me for my grievances. Those who benefited from my death should not be happy too early! Signature: Marcus Manlius Capitolinus."

After reading the letter, there were already crying in the square. Most people did not doubt the authenticity of the letter. They were moved by Marcus' persistence in fighting for their rights before his death. They were ashamed of not resolutely saving such a great and noble leader.

Amid the crying, someone shouted excitedly: "Marcus!"

I received loud responses from countless people: "Marcus!!!Marcus!!!Marcus!!!..."

The people in the square spoke in unison and shouted his name excitedly.

The shouts echoed over the city of Rome, which actually attracted the elders and nobles on Capitolin Mountain to stare into the square. They saw the crowd gathering in the square and thought that these Roman people were fighting against the Dionians, but they did not know that these Roman civilians were excited to mourn the noble traitor they hated the most.

The excitement of the Roman people continued for a while before gradually calming down.

At this time, Davers said loudly: "A year after Marcus's death, a plague occurred in Rome. This is by no means the warning of the priests, "the gods were warning to the dictatorial Marcus," but the punishment of the gods to falsely accuse a great Roman hero! And today, we, the Dionys, came to Rome, also in response to Marcus's curse, to overthrow the Roman nobles who were above and cruelly oppressing you, and to build a new Rome with you as Marcus said in the letter!"

While Davers was giving a passionate speech, Pubrius Manlius nodded constantly.

Although the Roman people were still full of vigilance and suspicion, their eyes were less angry when they looked at Davers.

Someone plucked up his courage and asked loudly: "How do you want to build a new Rome with us?!"

"Good question!" Davers immediately responded: "Next, my newly appointed Roman Administrator will answer your question and issue my order!"

Then, the Romans saw a gorgeous Borton man wearing black piping and white patterns walking up the platform with his head held high and his chest raised. After saluting King Davers respectfully, he turned to face the people below.

Standing in front, some people living in the slums of Rome suddenly opened their eyes in surprise: Isn't this Valquez?!

Someone couldn't help but shout, "Valkers, is it you?"

Valques raised his head and said proudly: "I am now the Administrative Administrator of Rome appointed by His Majesty the King, and the position of the municipality you are familiar with is higher. Please respect me next time you speak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. Everyone whispered to each other. Soon the news spread throughout the audience: a Roman civilian who was once like them, who had become a slave, but now he has become a high-ranking official of the Kingdom of Dionia, standing on the platform to speak to them.

Davers looked at the commotion calmly on the stage, and was very satisfied with the huge impact of the example of Valquez on the Roman civilians. He knew very well: in Italy, in the land of the Western Mediterranean, there were citizens of a city-state who had separated from the original city-state for some reason and invested in another city-state, and might even be an enemy state, but they would basically not be reused, would not enter the core circle of the city-state, and often became civilians. This is also an important source of Roman civilians.

One (of course, there will be some clans in other countries who will join with hundreds of people to join Rome, and they will be accepted by the Roman clan communes and share their power, but they will become nobles). Like Persia, they can open their minds and accept Gentile fugitives, even enemies, and give them heavy use. This practice is a very rare in the entire Mediterranean countries, which also caused the Greeks and Persia to be mortal enemies, once they are expelled from their own state, they often go to Persia.

And now what will happen to the Roman civilians after suddenly seeing the huge changes in Valquez's social status? Davers will wait and see.

The neat roar of the soldiers of the Dionian soldiers once again calmed the square.

Valques cleared his throat, took several breaths, recalling what he had worked hard to memorize yesterday, and said loudly: "Well, His Majesty King Davers declared to all the Roman people that, 'Since Diony's possession of the Roman city, all the debts owed to the nobles by the Roman civilians have been abolished, and all the slaves of the Roman nobles and the servants of the former Roman city have become free people-'"

As soon as Valks finished speaking, the slaves located at the back of the square cheered.

In comparison, the Roman civilians seemed a little calm. Rome was occupied by aliens, and most of the elders and nobles ran to Capitolin Mountain. Of course, it was impossible to ask them to pay off their debts, but they also relaxed their eyebrows and knew in their hearts that as long as the nobles could not repel the Deonians, their debts could be permanently written off!
