Revolt of the Praetorians Page #4

Synopsis: Rome chafes under the rule of the Emperor Domitian and his Egyptian mistress, Artamne. A mysterious champion arises to fight against the Emperor -- a masked man known as the Red Wolf. In fact, the Red Wolf is Valerius Rufus, one of the Emperor's trusted centurions who's aided by none other than the Emperor's court jester, the diminutive Elpidion. Rebels in league with Valerius kidnap Artamne, planning to exchange her for two of their imprisoned colleagues, but Artamne escapes and soon both Valerius, (now exposed as the Red Wolf), and his fiancee, Lucilla, are sentenced to be immersed in a cauldron of molten lead. Valerius's friends, however, rise up to rescue him and to liberate Rome.

If only he could join us.

Fight by our side.

Who would be, this red wolf?

A Senator? A Patrician?

Or perhaps one of us?

- Father! Father!

- Greetings my friends.

- What have you decided?

- Nothing. We're discussing what to do.

Friends, there's no more time to waste.

We have to fight!

We're a few, but soon,

the people will be with us.

What do you intend to do?

First:
we need weapons.

And I took care of that.

- Outside, I have a cart full of them.

- Excellent!

Second:
we need to help

Flavius and Rutilus

We can't leave them

in the hands of Caesar.

That's what we're talking about.

Attacking the palace would be foolish.

Then?

Then, I think I know what to do.

When the soldiers are in the mountains

We'll attack once...

...and bite them from every side.

Then...

...we'll use your tactics,

at the right time.

Now, let's hide the weapons.

They'll be very useful.

As for Flavius and Rutilus,

we both, can handle it.

Alright.

Hide them in Calpurnius's cave.

They will be there, handy and safe.

- I'll do that.

- See you later.

Move!

Move!

Let's go!

Lazy scum! Hurry up!

- Useless creatures!

- Stop!

Four stay here, the others go there.

Let's go!

Welcome, Cocceius Nerva.

- It's an honor to welcome you.

- Greetings to you, Calpurnius.

Our friend Fabius

advised me, to see you.

We want you to keep these

for a awhile.

Yes, I see. Tell him that I have

a great admiration for him.

- He can always count on me.

- Thank you.

Let's hide them there, in the caves.

They'll be safer, away from the slaves.

They're dangerous and can't be trusted.

They're with me for the bed and food.

Come.

Let's do some work!

Here we are my friends!

Let's unload, quickly!

Help! Help!

Please, someone help us!

The red wolf kidnapped Artamne.

Quickly!

- Watch out! The red wolf!

Sentinels, watch out!

Move, go up or else

you'll regret!

There he is!

Decurion!

Decurion, here they are. Decurion!

Guards, here.

Follow me, quickly!

Quickly!

Let's get out of here!

Had you been on guard,

instead of sleeping...

...perhaps you'd have had time to

warn the guards, and save your queen.

Do not fear for Artamne's life, Divine...

They did not kill her, for a reason.

They will not harm her.

Ah, you great fool!

A man gets in and out of the palace,

as if it was his home...

...and you tell me not to fear!

Although... I believe to be someone

that has access to the palace.

I could not agree more, Caesar.

Only someone as Valerius Rufus,

would be able to get the red wolf.

If you get him, I will nominate you

commander of the Praetorians

Thank you, Divine.

I promise to search everywhere.

Get out!

Everything is alright, Nerva.

The place is safe. He'll be on guard.
