Pirate Company

"The pirates are coming, run away."

Caesar returned to Pergamon with thousands of pirate captives. When their fleet appeared on the coast, it caused a panic among the local residents.

Because, in this fleet that suddenly appeared on the coast, there were many ships flying pirate flags, sailing impressively in the fleet. The local residents thought that pirates were targeting them again for looting.

The Central Sea is almost overrun with pirates. Every resident living along the coast of the Central Sea has suffered from pirates to one degree or another. However, no one has ever thought of going to sea to exterminate pirates. Because, the Gladiator Empire had a battle with the Central Sea Antoli Pirates before, and the final result was the loss of Rhode Island.

Even the powerful Gladiator Empire is no match for the pirates. Naturally, no one dares to touch the pirates' tiger whiskers anymore. They can only endure the pirates' harassment in silence, praying that they will not be the next to die at sea. The thief slaughters the people with the knife.

Due to the Gladiator Empire's inability to exterminate pirates, pirates have become like inner demons to the residents living along the Central Sea. No wonder just seeing the pirate fleet approaching would cause them great panic.

"It's not a pirate, it's Lord Caesar who's back."

"Look, the pirate has become a prisoner of Lord Caesar."

As the fleet approached, the residents who saw clearly the situation on board immediately gave out deafening cheers to welcome Caesar's triumphant return.

Caesar's previous behavior of recruiting soldiers to exterminate pirates had already been seen by the people. They just didn't expect that Caesar would come back soon. Unlike when he set out, this time his fleet was filled with pirate prisoners.

Caesar's behavior undoubtedly greatly increased the morale of the local residents. They had a feeling in their hearts that in the near future, they might no longer live under the fear of pirates.

Finally, someone defeated the powerful pirates on the sea.

"Long live my Lord Caesar."

When Caesar's fleet led a long string of pirates off the ship, they found many familiar faces among the many pirates. These pirates were the pirates who had been harassing them. Now they saw what they had been afraid of for a long time. The pirates became Caesar's prisoners, and the residents of Pergamon once again let out deafening cheers from the bottom of their hearts.

This time, what came out of their mouths was more praise for Caesar.

"This group of pirates will get the punishment they deserve. I guarantee that every one of them will be nailed to the cross of shame."

In response to the cheers of the people of Pergamon, Caesar paraded around the streets with his captive pirates and ran directly to the residence of the Chancellor.

He learned that the chief judge of the Gladiator Empire happened to be here, and the chief judge was the only official of the Gladiator Empire with the power to impose death sentences in the provinces of the Gladiator Empire.

A group of pirates who have caused trouble for a long time can only show the prestige of the Gladiator Empire by being tried by the laws of the Gladiator Empire.

The Gladiator Empire, shrouded in the shadow of pirates, urgently needs a public execution of pirates.

"Your good name will spread throughout every inch of the Gladiator Empire."

Seeing Caesar's disappearing back, the residents living in Pergamon couldn't wait to disperse. They wanted to share what they saw in front of them with everyone they knew.

I believe that the battle between Caesar and the pirates will soon spread throughout the Gladiator Empire. As a result, Caesar's reputation among ordinary people will greatly increase.

"No one is following him." After leaving the street, Caesar maintained his superior demeanor and looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following him. After confirming that no one was behind him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The whole person was like a frustrated ball, and he immediately changed his face. He looked at Yiyi Xian beside him like a money-grubber, and said: "As for the number of pirates' property, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Why do I feel that there is still more?" It’s omitted, how about we check it again carefully?”

"I reiterate once again, the property in the pirate treasure land is as much as what you see in your eyes, and there is absolutely no mistake." Along the way, Zhou Xian didn't know how many times he was harassed by Caesar, and he was merciless Rejecting the other party's request, he said with a serious face: "You must have full trust in your collaborators. Besides, this fund will be used as the start-up capital of our plan. No one will misuse a cent. I can Guarantee it with your own character.”

"Otherwise, it's okay to say that when it comes to money, you have character to make a fool of yourself." After hearing that Zhou Xian mentioned using character as a guarantee, Caesar had no choice but to give up the request to check the property and secretly slandered what Zhou Xian said. reliability.

"You don't seem to be too happy about it. How about we divide the property and go back to our respective families." Zhou Xian seemed to feel that Caesar was questioning his character in his heart, and said deliberately: "Anyway, we have a large sum of money. Money is enough for us to spend the rest of our lives happily, so why ask for anything more."

"I was wrong. I was wrong." Seeing that Zhou Yixian was about to give up his choice, Caesar decisively gave in. He kept begging for mercy and said: "What will I do if I lose you? Others don't know your character. Don't you think it's okay?" I don’t know yet, there’s no need to check again, it’s whatever you say.”

"This is what you said, don't go back on it." Zhou Yixian said.

"I will never go back on my word. If I go back on my word, I'll be a puppy." Caesar raised his palm, as if swearing again and again that he would never bring up the previous incident again. Zhou Yixian finally let Caesar go.

Caesar, who was poor and scared, every penny of property was very important to him. If anyone wants to take away his wealth from him, he will fight bravely like a little hen protecting his cubs. However, in front of Zhou Yixian, he lost his temper completely.

Caesar also knew that it was basically impossible to extract a single word from Zhou Yixian's pocket. Who is this person in front of me, who often chanted a mantra, every penny is like my relatives, and the loss of every penny will make me as painful as losing a loved one.

A money-greedy person meets someone who is more money-greedy than himself, what can he do. What's more, if because of a small matter, Zhou Yixian really quit his job, Caesar would lose more than he gained.

Wanting to seize the position of the dictator of the Gladiator Empire, he, who has no one under his command, can't get away from Zhou Xian's support behind him.

Seeing that Caesar had completely given up the idea of ​​taking money from his own pocket, Zhou Yixian finally felt happy, and gave Caesar a satisfied look with his childish eyes, as if saying:

There should be errand fees for running errands. I ran all the way from the Eternal City to the Hidden Island to rescue you. Why don’t you take more as a thank you? It makes sense for me to change this matter to any corner of the world.

Come on, it's my fault to covet Mo's common wealth without permission.

Tired of Caesar, he didn't want to entangle too much with Zhou Yixian on the issue of the pirate's property, so he changed the subject and said, "Why didn't we execute the pirate on the spot, why did we have to bring it back to Pergamon for public execution. In doing so, Doesn’t it seem a little redundant, anyway, the pirates have to be executed, so why bother.”

"I know, I heard him say it, it seems to be some kind of public opinion guidance." Along the way, Xingye was like a curious baby who knew nothing, and finally encountered a topic that he could participate in. He took the initiative to grab the white and said: "Whoever guides the direction of public opinion will be able to take the initiative."

"Guidance of public opinion?" Caesar whispered the inexplicable words he heard in his mouth. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of the reason, so he gave up and said, "I don't understand it very well, you can just figure it out."

The novel viewpoints that pop up in Zhou Xian's mind from time to time have been fully proved, so Caesar didn't pay too much attention to it. Another novel method in Zhou Xian's mind.

Because he knows that as long as he does it according to his ideas, he can always achieve unexpected results.

"You can use this method as a method to deceive people like your speech, and sometimes it is even more effective." Seeing Caesar's puzzled look, Zhou Yixian took the initiative to briefly explain the role of public opinion.

"Does public opinion really have such a terrifying effect?" From the simple description of public opinion on Monday, Caesar had a terrifying perception, thought about it secretly, and sighed wishing to surrender: "I really don't know, you Why are there so many novel ideas in my mind? If you control it properly, even the will of the country can be deflected. Fortunately, you are not my opponent, otherwise it would be almost impossible for me to realize my inner ambition. God."

Caesar is still very talented in terms of right and wrong, and he can understand some things at a glance. In the simple message given by Zhou Yixian, he basically grasped the reason why the other party wanted to disclose the purpose of the tactile pirate.

Zhou Yixian wanted to use the pirates in his hands to let the people of the Gladiator Empire understand a truth through some reasonable guidance of public opinion. It is not impossible to eliminate the cruel and difficult pirates. He really wanted to use a public execution of the pirates to build up the confidence of the Gladiator Empire in destroying the pirates.

When the Gladiator Empire wipes out the domestic rebel army and frees up its hands, it is bound to find a way to destroy the Antori Pirates, which is the root cause of the cholera in the Gladiator Empire.

Ordinary people in the Gladiator Empire have long hated the Antoli Pirates. It is because of their troubles that they can't get enough to eat now.

Cutting off people's food and clothing, the hatred is as deep as the sea.

The Antoli Pirates, who had angered the entire Gladiator Empire, will surely be hit by the most violent storm of anger from the terrifying state machine of the Red Earth Continent.

With the merits of exterminating the pirates in front of us and a little reasonable guidance of public opinion, if the Senate wants to support Caesar, I am afraid that ordinary people will not agree.

Once the Gladiator Empire targets the Antoli Pirates, the pace of Caesar's rise will be unstoppable.
