Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

As for contact with the active-duty soldiers, through the introduction of Lord Tiberius, our men have already met Lord Scipio.

The other party stated that he was only concerned with fighting the war and would not take sides in Rome's internal affairs.

Proni Yug—the man named after the land of 'Yug'—was the leader of the retired soldiers recruited by Night to protect Tiberius, and now he follows Night.

And now Proni is looking at the figure of Night with utmost respect, longing, and fervor.

Because he had been following Night and the others and witnessed all of Night's plans, Proni was completely convinced that the man before him was the savior of Rome—the true "last hero of Rome".

Even the mighty Senate was completely outmaneuvered by it.

The Gracchi brothers respectfully referred to him as their mentor on their life's journey—they learned a great deal from him and became aware of many dark aspects of Rome that they themselves had never realized without careful observation.

This caused the Gracchu brothers countless heartaches and tears.

Having witnessed the many feats accomplished overnight, Proni no longer hesitated or wavered, believing that the night would truly allow them to reclaim their land and return to a normal life.

How long has it been?! I never imagined that the future, which I had given up hope of, would have such a new possibility.

In the past, they were forced to lose all semblance of humanity, and could only wander around as vagrants and scoundrels, willingly degenerating and associating with trash.

But now—the opportunity has arrived, and he, Proni Yug—along with his thousands of brothers, wants to be a human being!

Night: "Very good. As long as Scipio's army doesn't get involved, that's the greatest support for us."

It seems the army has long been dissatisfied with Rome.

Haha—this was Rome's own doing, actively pushing its soldiers to the opposite side.

If the new legal reforms succeed, all soldiers will benefit from them, and they have no reason to stop them; in fact, they should not only not stop them, but they would also want to join in.

Proni – Inform the men to have more soldiers disguised as civilians join the ranks protecting Tiberius.

We're moving on to the next step of our plan!

【Lue the snake out of its hole! 】

Night: ...Once weapons are turned against civilians, the Senate loses its impartiality and the enraged populace will be pushed to the opposite side.

very good--!

Although the enemy might be the entire landowning class and upper class of Rome.

But his teammates were the common people and soldiers of all of Rome.

This time, the advantage is on my side!

At this moment, Ye was extremely confident, and just as he was giving orders to Proni, on the other side—

Similarly, the Senate nobles were also extremely confident about the upcoming 'assassination'.

It was less of an assassination attempt and more of a deliberate attempt to kill someone openly.

Tiberius was not like Luchinius. When Luchinius proposed the agricultural land law, very few people paid attention to it or supported him.

Until he was killed, probably few Roman commoners remembered his name.

However, killing the protected Tiberius from among a large number of civilians would be much more difficult.

Ultimately, the Senate decided to deploy a private army...

They killed all the civilians, including Tiberius!

That would be safe enough—if the Senate were to risk injuring Tiberius out of concern for the safety of civilians, they would be laughing in exasperation.

And history seems to have returned to its starting point.

The Senate is prepared to use the same reason again this time.

In other words, using the fact that the civilians protecting Tiberius often carried self-defense weapons such as wooden sticks as a pretext, they directly condemned it as the civilians supporting Tiberius's rebellion.

Since it was a rebellion, those citizens and free men were no longer Romans.

They are the kind of people who should be suppressed!

Like the rebels on the Spanish battlefield and the rioting slaves in Sicily, they must die!

Only bloodshed can quell Rome's anger; all dissenting voices must be suppressed!

Chapter 106 Outnumbered? Let's see who's surrounding whom.

A few days later, under the deliberate guidance of the night.

The Senate quickly seized the opportunity.

Their investigation revealed that night had not left Rome for a long time.

Tiberius, however, continued to give speeches in cities around Rome, advocating for reform of agricultural land laws.

Now, the powerful hero Night is not by his side to protect him.

They're just a bunch of civilians, a complete rabble. It shouldn't be difficult to kill them.

Furthermore, the senators had heard that Tiberius's presentation would include more proposals for new legal reforms.

The nobles immediately realized that after the three land laws proposed at the Senate meeting were not passed, the other reform matters had not been disclosed to them.

The existence of the agricultural land law alone was terrifying enough, causing many nobles to lose sleep over it.

They were afraid that Tiberius would say something shocking again!

So the Senate decided they couldn't wait any longer—! Kill Tiberius!

They must kill them...!

Even if it offends the Gracchus family, it doesn't matter.

If Tiberius isn't eliminated soon, Rome's situation will be in grave danger.

However, the Gracchi brothers, Listaye, and others are currently enjoying great influence and support in Rome.

Just in case, the private armies of the various nobles they mobilized were all absolutely loyal and would never betray them.

Unlike the Roman soldiers who were poorly fed and had their land seized, these private soldiers were supported by their families and received very good treatment, so they had no reason to rebel against their providers.

At the same time, in order to prevent too many civilians from supporting Tiberius and others, their fighting strength was considerable.

The nobles also thoughtfully dispatched a larger number of troops.

On the day of the speech, many young nobles, following their family's orders, led their armies and mingled with the crowd to the city streets near the Tiber River where Tiberius was located.

Historically, Tiberius was killed here, and he and his followers were thrown into the river to feed the fish.

When these noble private soldiers, filled with confidence and murderous intent, arrived at the scene, they were momentarily stunned by what they saw.

People, people everywhere—

The number of commoners who came to listen to Tiberius's speech was unexpectedly large, so large it was almost unbelievable.

At a glance, it was densely packed with people, a sea of ​​people, a throng of heads, making it impossible to see the exact number.

"With so many people, are we going to kill them all later?"

"You're insane!!"

How could you say something so stupid? Of course, you should only kill the majority of the most vocal supporters.

Deal with those troublemakers along with Tiberius.

Then, out of fear and terror, the others will naturally disperse on their own. At this moment, the two young nobles were whispering to each other.

"Don't be fooled by the large number of people here. They're just a bunch of civilians who've never seen blood. In a critical moment, a few of them might be able to form an effective fighting force."

Once they see someone retreating, they will likely immediately become frightened and want to flee.

"That's right..."

They're just a bunch of rabble.

In comparison, many of our soldiers are veterans who have served on the battlefield and have participated in battles against bandits and pirates for many years, protecting their families' property in various ways.

Their power is indeed incomparable to that of ordinary civilians.

At this, the two young nobles immediately felt relieved, exchanged glances, and revealed knowing, arrogant smiles.

As everyone knows--

What they thought was a quiet conversation had already been discovered by retired soldiers lurking in the crowd and relayed to the other side of the night.

That's right—

Night is here too.

The Senate could never have imagined that their belief that night was still in Rome was outdated.

Although he was indeed still in Rome in the morning, he arrived in the city in an instant in the afternoon thanks to the chariot enhanced with the concept of "Pegasus".

That's right—the concept of Pegasus.

This power is the concept of the Pegasus Chariot, which was previously inherited from the Achilles template.

Just like any gun-type weapon can be imbued with the concept of a divine gun and used as the divine gun Hector.

After incorporating the concept of the Pegasus, even without spreading its wings to fly, the horse runs on the ground at a speed as fast as a shooting star.

This is why Ye was able to rush here in such a hurry.

He came to provide a safety net for Tiberius.

At this time, they learned that the nobles' men had arrived.

Hearing the message relayed back—

Night laughed: Heh? More people?

It's not just your side that has soldiers capable of fighting.

They not only had soldiers, but their numbers were several times greater.

Did you get his permission to become the sixth son?

Night, too, was confident and composed, calmly awaiting the beginning of everything.

Soon, accompanied by a commotion in the crowd, Tiberius arrived, protected by a group of disguised retired soldiers.

Countless people cheered Tiberius's name with fervor.

In fact, Tiberius's various pronouncements and brilliant speeches had already spread throughout Rome in written form.
