Roman Slave Owner

Solomon spent seven years building the temple, and then spent thirteen years building his own palace next to the temple. In the temple, there was a small room called the Holy of Holies.

It is said that the stone tablet that Moses and God agreed to is stored in the Holy of Holies, and no one except the chief priests is strictly forbidden to enter the Holy of Holies.

But there were also people who broke into the Holy of Holies, like Pompey and a Syrian king, who broke into the Holy of Holies, for which they were cursed by the Jews for eternity.

Later, the whole of Jerusalem was completely destroyed by the new Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, who not only demolished the city wall, but also destroyed the temple.

This temple is the second temple, which was built by the Jews by order of Cyrus the Great.

He not only allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem, but also allowed them to build the temple. For this reason, some Jewish prophets called him the Messiah, which means the savior.

Looking from the bottom of the mountain, the entire Temple Mount is white, and only the top of the mountain is shining with a faint golden light. It is said that it is because the gate of the temple is inlaid with gold.

"Let's go up and have a look."

Levi said.

So he took a group of personal guards and walked towards the Acropolis. The layout of the entire Jerusalem was very irregular, like a maze.

This gave many Jews a chance to hide. Along the way, he kept discovering that Jews were captured by the Roman army.

Coming to a destroyed bridge, Levi looked down.

This is a wide valley where the Jews built a dam to provide drinking water for the Jews in Jerusalem.

"Is there no other way?"

Levi asked.

"Yes, but those bridges were also destroyed."

John said.

"Then let people fill it up."

Levi said.

Looking at the long valley, John opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Li Wei mobilized a large number of Jews and Galacians and asked them to collect various things and throw them into the valley.

Some Jews tried to stop them. They condescended to shoot arrows down, but they were dispersed by Levy's ballista.

The terrain of the valley became higher and higher, and he finally filled it up after ten days.

At this time, the Jews who were hiding in the tunnel were also captured, and after overcoming various obstacles, they finally came under the Acropolis.

Nothing to say, continue to attack the city.

The Acropolis is far stronger than the outer city, and the Jews are simply crazy.

Behind them is the Temple and their children, and they must not let Rome come in.

The city walls were breached twice, but they were driven out by the Jews, which made Li Wei's temper very bad recently.

This evening, John walked in with a timid look on his face.

"General, we cannot attack again tomorrow."

"reason?"

Li Wei looked at him viciously, and if he didn't give him a reason to satisfy him, he would definitely let him know the consequences of entertaining him.

"Tomorrow is the Sabbath. According to our canon, we must rest on the Sabbath."

John said.

"Sabbath?"

Li Wei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

It took God seven days to create the world, and the Sabbath does not refer to Saturday, but to Saturday, on which the Jews should stop working.

Since the Jews are a country ruled by theocracy, they strictly observe all religious regulations, including the Sabbath of course.

"Hahaha!"

Li Wei suddenly laughed.

Lucias looked puzzled, and asked very cooperatively: "I don't know why the general is laughing?"

"The Sabbath is good! I like the Sabbath the most. You don't have to attack the city tomorrow!"

Levi said.

Not only was John not happy, but he seemed to have lost his parents. In fact, he guessed what Li Wei was thinking.

Not only civilians but even soldiers refused to work on the Sabbath.

How did Pompey break into the Temple?

They broke in on the Sabbath day!

Many Jewish soldiers refused to work that day.

In fact, it was not just this one time in Jewish history that the country was destroyed because of the Sabbath.

Thinking of this, Li Wei immediately deployed, and he will attack the city with all his strength tomorrow.

At this time, Aristoblus in the city had fallen into despair.

"Are they really not willing to defend City tomorrow?"

"Yes, many soldiers claim that the Sabbath is for rest, and he is a devout believer, and they refuse to resist the enemy on that day."

Peter said bitterly.

"Are they all idiots? They want to rest when the enemy's army is close at hand? Don't they think they are dying fast enough?"

Aristobulus growled.

Peter's face was gloomy. The Jewish state is a country ruled by theocracy. The soldiers did what they asked before, but they didn't expect to smash their own feet.

"Tell them that tomorrow no matter what, some people will be selected to defend the city wall."

Aristobulus said.

"Leave it to me."

Peter said.

The next day, having again breached a breach in the Acropolis, Livi ordered the Thracians to attack the walls.

To his surprise, although there were soldiers resisting on the city wall, it was completely incomparable with peacetime, and the Thracians quickly invaded the acropolis.

Li Wei immediately ordered the Roman army to attack with all its strength, a large number of Roman troops entered the Acropolis, and the Acropolis was finally broken.

There were shouts of killing everywhere, and facing the overwhelmingly superior Roman army, the Jews had no power to fight back.

Not only did they break into the Acropolis, but they also broke into the Temple.

After about half a day, everything including the temple was occupied by Roman troops.

Li Wei led people into the temple, and he was extremely curious about the temple.

The temple is roughly composed of three parts, the outermost is a city wall 10 meters long and 35 meters wide. On the city wall, there are two gates composed of copper pillars 10 meters high.

After entering the city wall, there is an open courtyard inside. The three sides of the courtyard are small two-story buildings, and the small buildings are full of various gold and silver treasures.

The portico leads to a sacred hall with a table made of gold for worshiping the gods, and ten lamps of gold on the walls, besides which there are pools of water and pools of copper.

At the innermost point is a staircase leading to the Holy of Holies.

Li Wei walked up the steps and came to the outside of the Holy of Holies.

Outside the place of arrival are two statues of cherubs covered with gold, which are about 5.2 meters high and made of olive wood.

John felt uneasy, whether he should stop Levi or not.

This is the residence of God, how could a mortal like Li Wei step in.

But if it is really blocked, will the consequences be very serious.

He thought for a long time, and finally stood in front of Li Wei.

"Respected General Li Wei, the front is our holy place, please don't break in, that is a place that only the chief priest can enter, even I have no right to enter."

John had a pleading look on his face.

"Bastard, you dare to stop General Li Wei, don't you want to live?"

Lucias said angrily.

Li Wei didn't answer right away, but thought for a while.
