Chapter 888: Rome wasn't built in a day
Romulus looked at this scene, and he also continued to simulate.
Month 7: You and Lei Musi went down the mountain. You first decided to look for your grandfather Numitor, however, you couldn't find any trace of Numitor at all. Just at this time, you looked up at the sky and saw countless butterflies gathering together, turning into an arrow. You followed the guidance of the arrow and soon found Numitor.
The butterflies were done by Lin Ye using Insect Magecraft. Although using Crest Worms would be more appropriate, obviously, butterflies fit his temperament better.
August 3: You and Lei Musi began to gather people with lofty ideals under the banner of Numitor.
August 28: You gathered more than five hundred warriors. You were the commander-in-chief, and Lei Musi was the deputy commander. You officially launched an attack on Amulius.
September 4: Amulius learned the news of your attack, and he gathered an army of two thousand in Alba Longa.
Two thousand against five hundred, it should have been a one-sided battle, however, when you released the Noble Phantasm *My Spear Reaches All Things*, more than two thousand soldiers were entangled and bound by countless vines before they even got close. You returned in a great victory, and Amulius fled in panic.
September 5: With the appearance of Numitor to persuade them to surrender, you successfully incorporated two thousand prisoners, and at the same time, more and more soldiers defected to you. Your army expanded to three thousand people.
"Three thousand... and it's already a 'great army'."
Until now, Lin Ye still hasn't gotten used to this county-war-level "great war" in the West. Compared to the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons of the same period in China, Lin Ye is really unable to complain.
Early on, Alba Longa was already the strongest among the thirty-nation alliance. It is estimated that the total military strength of these thirty nations does not exceed fifty thousand.
September 15: Romulus led three thousand soldiers and rushed into the capital of Alba Longa, however, no matter how Romulus searched in the palace, he couldn't find Amulius's figure. Finally, through the mouths of the captured soldiers, he learned that Amulius had already hidden in the Temple of Vesta!
"Despicable!" Romulus looked at this scene angrily.
In the Age of Gods, no one dared to offend the majesty of the gods. If he dared to rush into the Temple of Vesta today, Vesta could make Alba Longa disappear from this world tomorrow!
Even if Vesta (Hestia) has a relatively good personality, it is the same. The majesty of the gods cannot be offended.
"There must be a way!" Romulus continued to watch.
In front of Romulus, Amulius stood in the Temple of Vesta just like that.
"Romulus! You won! But I have hidden all the wealth of this country in this temple! My daughter is the priestess of the temple, so I can enter, but you can't! Now! I want you to swear to Mars to let me leave safely! Otherwise! You will never get these treasures! And you will never be able to kill me!"
Listening to Amulius's words, the hot-tempered Lei Musi was ready to rush in regardless of everything, however, the quick-eyed Romulus immediately pulled him back.
"You are my brother! Even if there is divine punishment, I should be the one to bear it!"
Just at the moment Romulus was ready to move forward, suddenly, everyone saw two figures appear above the Temple of Vesta; it was the Goddess Vesta and... Lin Ye!
Vesta looked at this scene below, and she frowned directly and said: "Amulius, your behavior has disturbed the peace of my temple. Now, you will no longer receive my protection."
"What!" Amulius's legs went soft, and then he knelt directly on the ground, and Romulus, who had been waiting for a long time, naturally would not miss this opportunity!
Amulius! Captured!
"Lin Ye... how did he do it?"
Romulus stared blankly at this scene. Smart as he was, he could naturally guess that Vesta's personal descent was invited by Lin Ye, but why? Why is this goddess so respectful to Lin Ye?
"I'd better continue watching. There will definitely be an answer later."
September 16: Amulius was beheaded by you in front of everyone, and at the same time, your grandfather Numitor re-ascended the throne.
Everyone cheered for Numitor and your name!
September 18: Lei Musi, who had become a prince, went to the Temple of Vesta to ask for the hand of his beloved, the priestess Ilia.
The High Priestess said: "No."
Lin Ye appeared and said: "I think it's okay."
The High Priestess nodded and said: "Then I also think it's okay."
Subsequently, Lei Musi successfully married his bride.
October 3: On the way of your inspection, you heard people talking about the heir of Alba Longa. Numitor only has the two of you as grandsons. Some people think you should inherit the throne alone, while others think the country should be divided into two for the two brothers. And that day, Numitor also summoned you to his front. Facing your grandfather's inquiry, you choose:
Option 1: I am the eldest grandson of the king, my contribution is greater, the country should be inherited by me.
Option 2: My brother and I have a bond stronger than steel, dividing the country into two is also possible.
Option 3: An elder brother should have the demeanor of an elder brother, the country should all be given to the younger brother, I don't want any of it.
"This..."
Looking at these three options, Romulus fell into entanglement, but it was only for a moment, and soon he made a decision:
"It's just a country. With my ability, I can establish a better country wherever I go. This country, let it be given to my brother. I choose three!"
Hearing your choice, Amulius was dumbfounded, but he still decided to respect your request, so he decided to announce that Lei Musi would be the next King of Alba Longa.
That night, when people were cheering for the birth of the new king, you silently packed your bags and prepared to leave, however, just at this time, you saw Lei Musi also walk out with a bag on his back.
"Brother, we swore in front of our mother that we would always be together. As for this throne, our grandfather is still alive, let him continue to serve as king."
"Lei Musi..." Romulus looked at this scene excitedly. Lei Musi, you are worthy of being my own brother!
That's right! Since we have already sworn to our father in front of our mother, then we must be born on the same year, same month, same day, and also die on the same year, same month, same day! ===== CHAPTER 890 =====
