章節 67: Purging Corruption

Marcellus was sitting in his study, signing what appeared to be an arrest warrant. After becoming the embodiment of government authority in the Western Roman Empire, Marcellus had become increasingly aware of the extent that corruption plagued the ranks of society. Embezzlement, bribery, nepotism, extortion, lobbying, and outright incompetency could be found in every corner of the Empire. It was truly sickening, and something needed to be done about this. 

It was becoming apparent that Marcellus would need to make an example of the profligates and corrupt officials that were spread across his realm. It was because of this that Marcellus had tasked his army with the purpose of arresting every corrupt and incompetent bureaucrat within the Western Roman Empire. He would not spare the cancer that had long since begun to rot away at the realm.
