[ju-] Julius Caesar is [2] inside the [-e] electricity plant where the workers have barricaded themselves with a bunch of electric 冫 ice walls to defend themselves against the Roman general. Julius 决 decides that he will kill them all as a result, and so directs his Roman legion to launch 夬 boulders at them, destroying not only the ice, but all of the generators. It was a mistake for the workers to 决 decide to futilely resist Caesar, it seems.
