The storm is coming. This is not a wild guess at the end of the season, but because Maximus's reputation is now about to reach the critical point that Commodus can bear. When he can't bear it and can't find a solution, , will directly choose the crudest solution. ??
Just kill Maximus.
Maximus naturally understood this, so when he came back, he informed the end of the season of his decision.
"When I came here, I saw Sislo!" With a smile, a bright smile that Maximus rarely sees now appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Did General Sislo bring you the news?" At the end of the season, after a moment's thought, he understood why Maximus was so happy.
"That's right, the legion is not controlled by the people of Commodus. Now as long as we leave here and return to the legion stationed in Ossia, we will immediately get the command of the legion and go directly to Rome! ".
"Then the key is how to leave here and return to Osya safely!"
Maximus said calmly: "Yes, so, I have asked Sislo to find Lucia! Since her and the Senate have the same purpose as ours, now is the time for them to contribute! I believe it will happen soon. There is news."
Sure enough, the next day, Lucia brought Grix, the most prestigious member of the Senate, to see Maximus.
At first, Councilor Grix was reluctant to help Maximus leave Rome and let him lead troops to Rome, because he did not trust that Maximus would not become the third king after killing Commodus. Two Commodus, but he had no extra choice.
Because Commodus has become more and more blatant recently, many members of the Council of Elders have been arrested by him. If this continues, sooner or later, he will face being arrested and then secretly executed.
Instead of doing this, it's better to give it a try.
"If there is no unexpected result, instead of slowly letting Commodus eat them away, it is better to put hope on you. At least you are more trustworthy." Ji Mo pondered, and then said: "Then they arrange When is the time?".
Maximus rubbed his chin and said: "This still needs to be arranged before they can reply to us, but we shouldn't have to wait too long!"
It did not take long, and even the end of the season surprised both of them.
The next day, Lucia came here again with a lot of anxiety.
Lucia was taken directly to the room where Maximus was by Proximo. When she was about to speak, she let out a cry of fear.
Pointing at Ji Mo, as if he saw a ghost, he said: "Why is it you? Aren't you dead? Quintas said that he saw you stabbing the sword into his chest with his own eyes!".
"Long time no see!" Ji Mo smiled faintly. The other party's reaction was really normal, because since Ji Mo came to Rome, he wore a helmet that covered his face in every gladiatorial fight. Thea didn't recognize it, and even Commodus and Quintus, who had met up close, didn't recognize Ji Mo.
However, who would have thought that a man who had his chest pierced by a sword could survive.
"Stab yourself in the chest with a sword? What's going on?" Maximus, who had never heard of the end of the season, frowned.
"This..." Lucia opened her mouth, about to tell the time she heard, but after saying two words, Ji Mo interrupted the other party and said: "We will talk about these things later!".
Maximus glanced at the end of the season, then turned his gaze to Lucia, who was a little uneasy, and said: "So nervous, what happened?".
Lucia suppressed the strange feeling caused by seeing the end of the season and said: "Congressman Grix was taken away by Commodus' people. Our plan is, the sooner the better! In the middle of the night, Proximo will Take you to the exit of the exit, we have to hurry up!"
"Yeah!" Maximus nodded.
…
Night comes as expected.
However, the vicious uninvited guest broke the silence of the night, shocking the two people at the end of the night who were waiting quietly for midnight.
Listening to the voices shouting loudly outside, coming here on Caesar's orders, Ji Mo said: "It's the Praetorian Guards!".
"The situation is not good!" Maximus groaned, a dark cloud rising in his eyes.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that there is a problem on Lucia's side. After all, she is arranging everything.
At this time, Proximo opened the door and walked in. This money-grubbing slave owner looked calm at this moment, and there was an aura of generosity in his body. It seemed that at this critical moment, he had regained the memory of the role he played many years ago. The courage of a fighter to fight against the enemy in the arena.
"Hurry up!" Proximo said, turned around coldly, and walked towards the other gladiator rooms. Since the enemy had already attacked, in order to cover Maximus' safe departure, he released the other gladiators to create chaos. It's very necessary.
"Proximo, do you regret choosing to be a good person now?"
"Haha, I am also a gladiator..." Prosimo straightened his bent waist, and there was no longer any smell of greed in his body.
The gladiators were released and gathered together with firm faces to cover Maximus' departure. They knew what they were about to face, but at this time, no one even flinched.
Maximus solemnly warned: "Leave here as soon as you find an opportunity! Don't just fight to the death!".
But the only response he received was familiar slogans.
"Courage and Glory!"
"Courage and Glory!"
"Quick, quick! We must find Maximus! We can't let him leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
Listening to the roar outside, the gladiators left calmly.
"These are real men!" Ji Mo praised in his heart. Not everyone can face the sword that is about to attack calmly. They deserve respect.
Maximus looked back at the silent Ji Mo and said: "Mo, get ready, let's get out of here!".
Looking at the gladiators who were already fighting with the imperial guards outside, Ji Mo raised his eyebrows and said to Maximus: "You leave first, I will chase you right away, and I will help these guys. !".
"Stop joking! What can you do alone!" Maximus shouted angrily.
"Haha!" Ji Mo chuckled, looked at Maximus and said, "Lucia said that my chest was pierced. Although you didn't ask me, you should have guessed something. Don't worry, I will definitely I will catch up with you! And now, I have been suppressing it for a long time!".
After the words fell, Ji Mo's eyes flashed with a stern look, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand. He flashed his body and rushed into the Imperial Guard like an arrow.
"Where did that knife come from?" Maximus was stunned for a moment. Although he guessed that the end of the season must not be an ordinary person, he did not expect that it was so... magical!
