Rome must fall.

Chapter 414: The Oracle of the Goddess Danu (II)
Vercingetorix listened attentively but remained silent.

Lulios knew that this young leader, who had always been quite astute, still had doubts about what he said, "The leader of the Nix tribe is the descendant of the goddess Danu," so he went on to say, "In fact, the reason I came to see you from the Nix tribe this time was because of the oracle given by the goddess Danu!"

"Oh?! What oracle?!" Vercingetorix was finally moved.

"A few months ago, the goddess Danu gave an oracle to Chief Maximus..." Lurios leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Vercingetorix with an inquiring look in his eyes. Although his tone was light, it contained a certain strength: "The goddess Danu told Chief Maximus that next year a war will break out in Gaul where the Gauls will resist the Romans. The main commander of the Gallic warriors to fight against the Romans is a leader named Vercingetorix!
This war will cause great trouble to the Romans, but in the end the Romans will win, and by then all the brave Gauls will be slaughtered. The Gallic leaders such as Vercingetorix who led this war will be escorted to Rome to participate in the Roman victory parade, to be cursed and ridiculed by the Romans, and eventually die there...

From then on, no Gaul tribe dared to resist the Romans again. They all prostrated themselves at the feet of the Romans and were willing to be enslaved by them. As time passed, Gaul would eventually be annexed by Rome, and the name of Gaul and its traditions would no longer exist..."

At this point, Lurios's expression was extremely heavy, and he said in a sonorous voice: "The goddess Danu could not bear to see the Gauls who worshipped her suffer such a tragic end, so she told her heir, 'Maximus, the leader of the Nix tribe', to send someone to find the Gaul leader named Vercingetorix and stop him from launching this war to avoid the destruction of the Gauls!"

When Lurios finished speaking, time seemed to stand still for a moment. Vercingetorix's expression froze on his face, his eyes widened with disbelief in his pupils, his lips slightly parted, but he never said "this is absolutely impossible". Only his body was trembling slightly, which was a huge shock to his previous cognition caused by Lurios' words.

Lulios knew Vercingetorix. He suddenly felt happy, but then he felt a little scared. He stretched out his hands, palms to the sky, bowed his head and prayed sincerely: "Great and merciful Goddess Danu, please forgive your believer Lulios, he should not have doubted you!..."

Vercingetorix came back to his senses, staring blankly at Lurios who was repenting devoutly, and murmured in confusion: "After the Roman elder named Caesar became the governor of Gaul, we Arverni followed our past traditions and welcomed his arrival, and even provided some support.

But later I found out that Caesar was not here to be our Gauls’ ally and help us solve some conflicts and troubles, but he wanted to conquer our entire Gaul region and make all the Gaul tribes obey him. Therefore, he could decide who would be the tribal leader at will, execute a Gaul noble at will, and collect food and supplies from various tribes at will. He didn’t care at all that our Gauls would starve to death due to lack of food…

Now, in the entire Gaul region, no matter whether it is the chiefs, nobles, or ordinary people, no one can guarantee their own safety. Everyone is very uneasy, so not long ago I quietly invited those tribal chiefs who were once dependent on us Arverni, protected by us, and not close to the Romans to come to Gorgorvia for a gathering.

Everyone agreed that we could not remain silent any longer and we must unite to resist the Romans as soon as possible, otherwise one day we would end up like Akoc, the leader of the Sinoe who was arbitrarily executed by Caesar.

Moreover, many leaders who attended this meeting also promised that after they returned, they would secretly contact other tribal leaders who had not received the news but harbored hatred towards the Romans, and ask them to participate in the next secret meeting to discuss how to resist the Romans.

The leader of the Carnites also said that Gogovia was too close to the Roman province to keep secrets, and suggested that future secret gatherings be held in his territory...

Also, many of the leaders who participated in this opportunity believed that the Arverni had not suffered from the destruction of the Romans in the past few years and were the most powerful, and I, Vercingetorix—"

Vercingetorix showed a proud look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I was able to lead a group of homeless people and warriors from various tribes to finally defeat my uncle who had a huge army, recapture Gorgoria, and avenge my father. My ability to lead the army is undoubtedly outstanding. I have also served in the Roman army for several years and understand the tactics of the Roman army better than other leaders... Therefore, everyone recommended me to be the commander-in-chief of this military operation against the Romans!

When the meeting was about to end, we put the flags of each tribe together and made a sacred oath that we would follow the requirements of the meeting, resolutely fight the Romans, and never betray! ...

For this reason, I have been collecting food during this period of time, and began to recruit those Gallic warriors who lost their homes and wandered around due to the atrocities of the Romans. I believe that you, Lurios, have seen it when you entered this village. We——"

Vercingetorix stared at Lurios and growled unwillingly from the bottom of his throat: "All the tribes that hate the Romans are actively preparing to start a war against Rome in the entire Gaul region, but you want me to stop the war at this time!"

Burned by the other party's gaze, Lurios hurriedly explained: "I didn't ask you to stop the war, this is the oracle of the goddess Danu! -" "Even if this is the oracle of the goddess Danu -" Vercingetorix's tone was slightly softened, but his expression became more determined: "Even if we stop resisting the Romans, can we avoid the demise of our Gauls! No, that will only delay our death! We will continue to obey the various harsh demands of the Romans, and eventually become their raised hounds, and forget our pride as Gauls!

We Gauls love to fight and are brave in fighting. We are a race born in battle. Even if we know we will perish, we will shed our last drop of blood on the battlefield! ——"

Lurios interrupted him quickly: "No, Vercingetorix, the omniscient and omnipotent goddess Danu is not asking you to stop the war against the Romans, but hopes that you can postpone the war. I haven't finished the oracle of the goddess Danu-"

"Postpone the war against the Romans?!" Vercingetorix was stunned.

Lurios said loudly and confidently: "Yes, postpone the war! Don't start it next year, but the year after!"

"Why the year after next?" Vercingetorix wondered.

Because in the year after next, a civil war will break out in Rome. Caesar and a Roman senator named Pompey will be the leaders of the two sides in this civil war. The scale of this civil war will be very large, involving all the provinces of Rome, and the fighting will be very brutal. One side is determined to completely destroy the other side before it will stop, so this civil war will last for many years!

By then, Caesar will concentrate all his efforts on dealing with his political enemies and will withdraw most of the Roman troops stationed in our Gaul region. When you start a war again, it will be easier for you to defeat the few remaining Roman troops in Gaul, thus freeing the tribes from Roman control..." Lurios spoke very seriously, as if he had witnessed the development of the entire situation with his own eyes.

Vercingetorix fell into deep thought.

Arverni had some knowledge of Rome because of their frequent trade relations with Rome, while Victimoli had spent some time in Caesar's army and knew even more.

He knew that Rome had been in political turmoil in recent years. He also knew that at the beginning of this year, Rome had not elected a consul for a long time due to the chaos. There were even rumors that the city of Rome was in chaos. Moreover, Caesar returned to Inner Gaul earlier than in previous years to spend the winter, so some Gallic leaders even thought that Caesar might rush to Rome and never return to Gaul. This is why they decided to launch an attack on the Roman army next year.

Vercingetorix, who knew Rome better, pondered over what Lurios said for a long time before he asked, "Caesar and Pompey have been allies for a long time. Their relationship is very close. This is known throughout Italy. How could they become rivals?"

"Caesar, Pompey and Crassus did form an alliance a long time ago, and the three of them jointly controlled Rome, but you may not know that Crassus died in the war with the Parthians this year, and the three-way alliance no longer exists. Last year, Caesar's daughter who married Pompey also died in childbirth, and the relationship between the two was no longer close.

In order to conquer Gaul, Caesar continued to expand his army, which had posed a threat to Rome. The Roman senators had long wanted to remove him as the Governor of Gaul and disband his army, but they just didn't have the courage. Now that they saw their opportunity, they would definitely try their best to pull Pompey, the only one who could fight against Caesar, into their camp, and then they would have the confidence to recall Caesar and bring him to justice.

Will the cruel and ambitious Caesar be willing to give up everything he has and return to Rome to be punished? ! A few decades ago, there was a civil war in Rome. At that time, it was a war between Mar... Marius and Su... Sulla. Now it is just Caesar and Pompey. "

“Is this also the oracle of the goddess Danu?!” Vercingetorix was surprised to see that Lulios’ analysis was very reasonable.
