Pirate Company

Compared to the Red Earth Continent, the Gladiator Empire is almost one of the few top powers. Its every word and deed has naturally received the daily attention of the countries on the Red Earth Continent. It is impossible to hide what happened in the Eternal City.

In order to prevent some interested people from joining in the fun, the Gladiator Empire made an official report on what happened in the Eternal City the next day.

Not only the Red Earth Continent, but the front pages of newspapers throughout the world recorded the incident. The newspaper wrote: More than two hundred gladiators led by Sparta launched a rebellion, and finally seventy-four people broke through the siege and fled the Eternal City.

There was no mention of pirates in the newspapers, and this is all that ordinary people can understand about what happened in the Eternal City.

A rebellion with a small number of people, no one will pay too much attention to it. Ordinary people who read the newspaper will soon forget everything about it recorded in today's newspaper.

According to the official report of the Gladiator Empire, it is okay to deceive ordinary people. The major forces that have planted enough eyeliners in the Eternal City will naturally not believe it.

The intelligence personnel under them sent back first-hand information for them in a timely manner. The information placed on the desks of the bosses recorded the devastation, the mourning, the flames of war, and everything about the Eternal City.

Pirates, will they sweep the entire Red Earth Continent again?

A group of bigwigs from the Red Earth Continent sighed in unison when they saw the shocking scene recorded in the data before them.

Different from the big guys, a young man with blond hair in the Xiful area has a completely different view on this incident.

He believes that his time has come.

Early in the morning, all the ministers were called together, and Harald waited until they were all present, and said, "The time to start the war has come."

"My king, please think twice." The gathered ministers heard Harald's nonsensical words as soon as they came up. It is not a fun thing to start a war in their hearts, and they all expressed their rejection without thinking.

"Look at it, no one will pay attention now, a war has been waged by our small country." Harald threw the information he had just obtained in front of the ministers.

Picking up the information in Harald's hand, the ministers circulated it among themselves, and soon after reading the contents of the information, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is it possible, the Eternal City was bombarded by pirates."

"That's the truth, our chance has come, let's prepare for war." Harald said without doubt.

"Of order, my king." Facing the king's willful decision, all the ministers had no choice but to nod in agreement.

No wonder, after the World Conference ended, Halfdan returned to his own country, inexplicably fell ill, and died within a few days. Everything in this country now has the final say of the young people in front of them.

However, the ministers knew in their hearts that the king was right about one thing. When the Red Earth Continent was in such chaos, it was the best time for their small country to expand outward.

If you work together, things will be much easier. Just do what you say, Harald didn't take long to prepare, he led his army back, and started the war of outward expansion.

As he expected, no one in the countries on the Red Earth Continent would care about the petty wars they waged. In this way, under the noses of all the bigwigs, Harald was powerful and occupied many neighboring countries.

Even so, no one pays attention to the wars in their small countries.

Their minds were all focused on the mighty gladiator empire. They hope that seeing the decline of a powerful empire, they don't have to worry about other things.

…………

After the previous incidents, the situation of the Gladiator Empire can only be described as devastated. Although they gave an official notification, the gold coins that Juus took away from the Eternal City with the flavor of the gladiator empire could not deceive anyone.

The merchant ships walking in the central sea saw Juus' pirate ship full of wealth from the Eternal City, and even the mighty gladiator empire fell into the hands of Antoli Pirates. How could they have the heart to resist? , when they passed the central sea area, they had to obediently offer a sum of money that Juus was satisfied with, and they all bowed and bowed.

Seeing this situation, Juus' power was further strengthened. At the same time, the swelling in his heart is also increasing day by day. He does not stop doing two things, and once again targets the merchant ships of the Gladiator Empire. One-third of the food originally transported from the Ramses Empire to the Gladiator Empire fell into the Antoli Sea In the hands of the thieves, the gladiator empire has seen a food shortage.

Due to the lack of food and the threat of starvation, the residents of the Gladiator Empire began to condemn the Senate, accusing them of being incompetent in dealing with pirates.

In addition to the food shortage, there was also a slave rebel army led by Sparta inside. The gladiator empire was almost at a critical juncture of survival. The high-level officials in the empire finally stopped all internal strife and began to clench into a fist.

All the top brass of the Gladiator Empire first targeted the Spartan rebels who were making trouble.

Through the unanimous decision of the Senate, they sent the chief executive, Claudius, and led three thousand elite soldiers to suppress the Spartan uprising army that appeared near Mount Vesuvius.

Due to the outstanding performance in the arena, Eve and Zhou Yixian also became members of this team.

"Damn thief, it's one step too late."

Claudius, who was chasing Sparta all the way, hurried and slowed down and finally slowed down a step. Looking at the scorched farmland in front of him, he issued an angry accusation.

The Gladiator Empire was already seriously short of food, and Sparta's destruction of the farm was undoubtedly making the situation worse. If this rebel army cannot be wiped out in time, the future of the Gladiator Empire may really have no future.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Claudius saw that the soldiers under him were a little tired from the long pursuit, so he decisively ordered to take a rest first, and called the outstanding young men under him, hoping to get some from them. useful way.

Speaking of an outstanding young man, how could he miss Zhou Zhou's leisure.

Zhou Yixian first said: "According to my observations along the way, except for the slave owners who were killed in the destroyed slave farms, there was no slave body. This situation is undoubtedly a dangerous signal. We have every reason I believe that all the slaves in the farm have joined the uprising team."

"Why do you see it?" Claudius asked.

Zhou Yixian replied: "Because of the food shortage, the slave owners will definitely not have extra food to distribute to their slaves, which will inevitably cause most of the slaves to starve to death. Based on the above situation, anyway, there are no slaves who have no way to survive. Participating in the uprising would be more became their only way of life."

"Caesar has a good follower." Claudius glanced at Zhou Xian approvingly, and he couldn't help but test Zhou Xian's mind, and continued: "In your opinion, how much does the rebel army have now?" man, how are we going to do it."

"Based on the scale of passing through the farm all the way, the number of rebels is no less than 10,000." Zhou Yixian first judged, and then gave his own opinion, "Facing such a huge enemy, we should first call Members, wait until the reinforcements arrive, and then pursue them."

"A good proposal." Claudius nodded, but the answer he said on Monday was not the answer he wanted. The Gladiator Empire has reached the point of life and death, and every second wasted, the Gladiator Empire is in danger. Of course, he does not agree with Zhou Xian's proposal to wait for rescue.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Claudius asked Pompey next to him.

"As for the approximate number of rebels, I completely agree with that." Pompeo said that Zhou Yixian's judgment was similar to his own.

"Are you also planning to wait for the increase?" Claudius asked.

"No, not only do we not need to wait for additional personnel, but we should speed up our march." Pompey replied.

"Tell me your reason," Claudius said.

Pompey said: "Your Excellency's three thousand elite soldiers, due to the unanimous support of the Senate, can be said to have sufficient food and resources. On the other hand, the rebel army composed of slaves can't even eat enough to eat. How much fighting power can it have. So , we can easily take down the opponent in one fell swoop without any additional personnel.”

"The whole army listens to the order, speeds up the pace, and pursues the rebel army." After getting his own satisfactory answer, Claudius made a decisive decision and issued an order to pursue.

"My lord, don't worry." Pompei just said that he wanted to pursue him, but he stopped him again. Under Claudius' puzzled eyes, he explained: "Don't rush to chase, we just need to follow the opponent far away. Just don’t let them have a chance to relax and breathe. The rebel army who lacks food can’t last long, as long as they wait until they are the weakest, and then strike with a thunderbolt, the rebel army can be easily suppressed.”

"Not bad, very good." Claudius looked at Pompeii with indescribable satisfaction.

Pompey's proposal was immediately unanimously approved by everyone, and Claudius was not in a hurry to command his soldiers to chase the Spartan rebel army.

Instead, they hung behind the rebel army unhurriedly, and whenever they wanted to stop to take a breath, they would suddenly kill them, making the rebel army run for their lives and be exhausted.

"May I be blessed." Looking at Pompeii's back, Zhou Yixian sighed.

The reason why Zhou Yixian proposed to wait for the increase is naturally to buy some time for Sparta to escape. However, Pompeii is worthy of being one of the leaders of the future gladiator empire. There is really nothing to say about the military vision. He can see the fatal flaws of the rebel army at a glance, so Zhou Xian has no good way to slow down the pace of the march. up.

At this moment on Zhou Yixian, we can only follow the pace of history and take one step at a time. When it is really necessary, he doesn't mind giving a little help to the rebel army. It is still too early for the rebel army to be wiped out, which is very unfavorable for the implementation of his next plan.
