Ancient Rome: From Slave Owner to Supreme Emperor

"Damn Sparta!!"

Strabo cursed in his heart, and then shouted to Ye Tian:"Satan, I didn't expect you to dare to keep Spartan warriors in captivity openly!!"

"Hehe... they are my slaves! I can raise them however I want, isn't that right? Have I violated any law of the Roman Republic? It seems that I haven't violated the interests and glory of the great Rome, right?"

Ye Tian said indifferently, then rode his horse slowly forward, walked a few steps and turned back and said:"I thought you dared to stop me? Lord Pompey, do we have a grudge? But you compromised today, I hope this will not become your nightmare!"

After that, Ye Tian left without looking back!

"Ha ha……"

Ye Tian laughed triumphantly, very arrogantly. Since he had made an enemy, Ye Tian did not show any modesty or politeness. Instead, he showed an arrogant attitude towards him.

"Damn Satan!!"

Strabo's face was extremely dark, terribly blue, and his fists were clenched so tightly that the veins were bulging.

However, facing a hundred Spartan slave warriors, he was not sure of winning, otherwise, he would really leave Ye Tian here forever.

"grown ups……"

Strabo's lieutenant said to him in a deep voice, while at the same time he made a killing gesture with his hand on his neck.

"There is no chance of winning, so don't ask me to do it!! Behind that guy are Andrew and Cinna, Marius, and Julius who have just gained power!"

Strabo said in a deep voice, his face was very gloomy.

"What if we add a thousand infantrymen?" the deputy general said in a low voice.

"Go back, bypass them, and we will go back to join the infantry overnight!"

Strabo's eyes flashed with cold light. He didn't believe that a thousand infantry plus a hundred light cavalry couldn't defeat a mere hundred heavy cavalry.

"drive!"

"drive!"

……

As the order was conveyed, more than a hundred light cavalrymen began to gallop and disappeared under the sunset glow.

"Master, they have already taken a detour back!"

Not long after, Basas returned to Ye Tian and said respectfully

"I understand. Let's set up camp here, eat well and rest well tonight, and prepare for the battle tonight or tomorrow!!"

Ye Tian nodded and gave the order in a deep voice.

It was beyond doubt that someone wanted to kill him, and this time he went out to suppress the slaves was the best opportunity, and those families would not miss this opportunity.

Wipe him out together with the rebellious slaves, and put all the responsibility on the slaves. Even if Marius's camp had some doubts, there would be no evidence.

Because Ye Tian only brought a hundred slave warriors, it was reasonable for him to be killed by the rebellious slaves.

If Ye Tian was Strabo, he would not miss such an opportunity.

So, putting himself in Strabo's shoes, when Ye Tian knew that Strabo had taken a detour, he probably guessed what Strabo was thinking.

"An excellent Roman commander? Haha...that's all!"

Ye Tian smiled disdainfully.

If the identities were reversed, Ye Tian would never do such a stupid thing, but lead the cavalry to slowly hang behind the enemy, or find a reason to return with them, and then send a cavalry back to the front to notify the infantry in the front to prepare for an ambush, and finally outflank the enemy from the front.

In this way, not only will the intention of attack be reduced a lot, but the winning rate will also be greatly improved.

Of course, perhaps Strabo made such a decision because he felt that he had Ye Tian in his grasp and looked down on the one hundred cavalry led by Ye Tian.

More than a thousand against a hundred, if attacking head-on, the winning rate is very high.

The night slowly dimmed, and piles of bonfires slowly rose up, burning very vigorously. As time passed, bursts of barbecue aroma filled the air.

"Badak, it's cold at night, make a few more pots of broth and share them with the miners! If they catch a cold and get sick, it will be our loss!"

Ye Tian called Badak and explained to him indifferently.

The meat was all fresh meat, which was just obtained by the Spartans from hunting. The Spartans could eat meat and share some soup with the miners.

After all, these miners would help him build water conservancy projects next. Without a good body, how could they have any strength.

For the coolie slaves, Ye Tian's principle was to desperately squeeze their value, and at the same time, to feed them well, dress warmly, and rest enough.

Only slaves with strong physique and good health can provide more value.

Moreover, only in this way can the loyalty and enthusiasm of slaves be improved. If they are suppressed and deprived blindly, and do not give slaves a way to live, it would be strange if they do not revolt.

Because of different values, the truth that is very simple to Ye Tian cannot be understood by other nobles and slave owners in Rome.

The nobles and slave owners are greedy, stingy, and high above. They wish that the slaves do not have to eat, but can cook for them. The most work, the hardest work.

But it's good this way, the cruelty, ruthlessness and indifference of other nobles and slave owners can set off Ye Tian's greatness and kindness, so the slaves who are transferred to his hands can quickly accept their identity, actively support, be loyal to, and love him.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Sure enough, after hearing Ye Tian's voice, the miners not far away couldn't help swallowing their saliva, gurgling, with a flash of disbelief and shock in their eyes, and thinking of Ye Tian's promise to them on the road today, they felt a little touched in their hearts.

I don't know how long it has been since they have received care from others.

That feeling is really easy to move people.

This is a cruel slave owner, so cold and ruthless when killing people, but at the same time he is an extremely kind slave owner who cares about obedient and well-behaved slaves.

Feeling the slight increase in the loyalty of the miners, Ye Tian flashed a little proud in his heart

"By the way, what are your names?"

After Bardock left, Ye Tian pulled the three girls into his arms, smiled and asked them

"My lord, my name is Anya.……"

"My name is Philin……"

"My name is Dai Lin……"

The three girls spoke timidly, but very well behaved.

"I'm tired, help me massage my back and legs, and we can eat the meat when it's cooked!"

Ye Tian leaned against a stone and said lightly, making the three girls swallow their saliva gently, with a hint of joy in their eyes.

Eating meat?
