Pirate Company

The Central Sea, which had been calm for a while, finally arrived as scheduled due to Zhou Xian's deliberate provocation.

Taking advantage of the rare period of peace, the Central Sea has resumed its usual busy sea trade. Many ships, loaded with cargoes, are sailing on the calm channel of the Central Sea. There are too many merchant ships on the channel. The vast sea seemed a little crowded.

Anyone who sees this picture will have a feeling of enthusiasm. The merchants on the merchant ships had no other choice. They had suffered from the pirates for a long time, so they naturally wanted to take advantage of the time when the Antoli pirates stopped, and they could earn more money to support their families by pulling more goods.

"Everyone work hard, we will reach our destination soon."

The merchants on board urged the sailors below, hoping to reach the delivery point faster. Facing the merchant's constant urging, the sailors showed no dissatisfaction on their faces, instead they worked harder. They also wanted to earn their own reward quickly.

Most of the time, they always lose everything.

Without the harassment of the pirates, the people on the merchant ship worked very hard.

"Captain, we're done."

They worked together and worked happily, but it didn't take long for them to be happy again. They saw thousands of pirate warships flying the pirate flag appearing in front of their eyes in the calm central sea.

Looking at the posture, almost all the Central Sea pirates were dispatched together.

"Get out of the way, the boat is about to crash. It's too late, get ready to be a prisoner."

The appearance of thousands of pirate warships blocked the already crowded channel. Many merchant ships that had no time to change lanes could only watch their own merchant ships being loaded into the invincible pirate fleet.

They didn't want anything else, they just wanted the pirates to keep their lives, even if they were sold as slaves, it didn't matter too much.

It turned out that everything was planned by the pirates.

Just to put it bluntly, there is no reason for pirates to be safe. They do this because they want to catch us all and eat us all at once.

Looking at the huge pirate fleet that suddenly appeared, the people on the merchant ship all thought so.

When facing ferocious pirates, it is best not to meet their eyes.

"How is it possible, it didn't hit it."

Everyone in the merchant ship who closed their eyes and waited to die waited for a long time without hearing the sound of the bang. Some people boldly opened their eyes and observed the surrounding situation out of curiosity. They found that the pirates, who had always been plucking their hair, ignored the merchant ship in front of them.

Relying on the good pirates on board, they turned the rudder and avoided the countless merchant ships in front of them. Soon, thousands of pirate warships disappeared from everyone's sight while everyone on the merchant ship was stunned.

"Did the pirate change his mind, or did we have hallucinations?"

Everyone on the merchant ship was a little confused.

"Captain, what should we do next? Do we want to continue sailing?" The sailors of the merchant ship, after their lives were no longer in danger, decided to listen to the captain because the scene in front of them was too weird.

After all, most people who can become captains are well-informed.

"I'm still sailing, hurry up and find a place to get rid of the goods in your hands, and stay on the road honestly recently, the Central Sea is no longer safe."

All the captains who were asked the same question by the sailors below gave almost unanimous answers.

They knew that to make the pirates put down the prey in front of them, there must be an existence that threatened them. It doesn't take a second to know that this threat must be the Gladiator Empire.

With such a large-scale mobilization of pirates, the central sea is bound to turn into a sea of ​​flames.

War is coming.

Who stays, who dies.

"Hurry up, show me the strength you have for breastfeeding. No matter where you go, go back to the Red Earth Continent first."

Thinking that they might become victims of the flames of war, a string in the minds of the captains suddenly tightened, and they desperately urged the sailors under them to leave this dangerous sea area as soon as possible.

The sailors who understood the seriousness of the situation from the captain's mouth will not have any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, not only the strength of breastfeeding was used up, but also every trace of strength in the body cells was used up.

In an instant, there was no shadow of a ship in the crowded channel.

Unlike the clean waterway in the depths of the Central Sea, the surface of the Central Sea close to the coast of the Gladiator Empire is still full of excitement.

Hundreds of warships sailed unfamiliarly on the sea not far from the land.

"How long will it take before we can form combat power?" Pompeii asked a person beside him as he looked at the busy hundreds of warships at the shore training base.

"My lord, I believe they will be able to fight the pirates soon." The man dressed as a slave beside Pompeii replied respectfully.

He is also one of the many sea peoples who were originally conquered by the gladiator empire, and has excellent sailing skills. It is precisely because of his ability that he successfully became a popular man in front of Pompey.

His status has risen all of a sudden, he was appreciated by Pompey and enjoyed the benefits of power, and he willingly became a loyal follower of Pompey's subordinates.

As for the hatred and so on, he had already seen it out of the blue.

"I hope that this time can be brought forward a little bit." With the unremitting efforts of his subordinates, the sailing technology of Pompeii's soldiers has improved rapidly, but he is still a little dissatisfied.

He clearly knew that it would probably take decades for ordinary people to completely wipe out the pirate strongholds of sporadic branches on various islands in the Central Sea.

Based on the actual situation, the Senate generously gave Caesar and Pompey three years.

Regarding the extermination of the pirates, Pompeii already had a plan in mind, and he was confident that with the plan he appointed, he would be able to wipe out all the pirates in less than three years.

Once his subordinates form combat power at sea, it's time for him to completely suppress Caesar's prestige. He wants the entire empire to see who is the most reliable guardian of the empire.

The reason why he wanted to let his subordinates form a fighting force against the pirates faster was nothing more than a sense of urgency in his heart. His competitors have achieved good combat results, and as a result, many pirate strongholds have been wiped out.

In fact, Pompeii didn't quite understand why Caesar always knew every pirate's stronghold as if he had a pair of eyes in the sky.

He also wanted to quickly obtain some effective results for the senate to see, but the soldiers under him didn't know how to sail. In the end, he could only suppress his anxiety and train the soldiers under him first.

No matter how anxious, the boat can't move, and we can only look at the ocean and sigh.

"My lord, there is no need to rush the matter of sailing." The people around Pompeii also understood the situation, and said: "Caesar's actions seem to be effective, but compared to the pirates who are so numerous on the sea, they are not harmful at all. With their The method of clearing and suppressing slowly, if you want to wipe out all the pirates in the central sea, you don't know that you have to wait until the year of the monkey."

Pompeii said: "You know more about sea affairs than I do. However, I always have a bad feeling in my heart that the other party will not give us too much time. If it is possible as soon as possible, let's do it as soon as possible. Some reasonable Casualties are acceptable."

Pompey's words undoubtedly meant that he wanted to train the soldiers under his hands to death. Sensing Pompeii's determination, the people around him didn't say much, and left with a pledge.

Now that he has no worries, he can let go of his hands and feet.

Pompey just said that he had a bad feeling, and it really happened.

After leaving the small island where they were hiding, thousands of pirate warships appeared on the coast.

"How did they know that the place where I trained soldiers... Yes, it must have been secretly manipulated by Caesar. It's a pity that the other party can't be used by me after all."

As soon as the pirate fleet appeared, Pompeii guessed exactly what happened in his mind. In his mind, the figure of a troublesome young man appeared.

All of this must have something to do with Zhou Yixian, the only person under Caesar who has such abilities.

"He really didn't lie to me."

Not only Pompeii, but Juus, who led the huge pirate fleet, also had Zhou Xian in his heart.

When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous.

As soon as the two sides met, the war came instantly.

Boom, boom, boom!

As soon as Pompeii's fleet entered the range, the pirate fleet lined up, and the sound of fierce artillery fire instantly rang out on the sea.

You don't need to think about how terrifying a salvo of thousands of cannons is. Due to the effect of the recoil, behind the pirate fleet, the calm sea surface unexpectedly formed a scene of huge waves emptying out of thin air, all rushing out towards the sea area behind.

The huge movement caused by the waves and the roar of thousands of gunfire formed a rare sound effect in harmony.

"The shelling is coming, hurry up and move the boat to avoid the shelling."

The soldiers on Pompeii's hundreds of ships are destined to have no blessing to listen. At this moment, they were only in a hurry. A group of soldiers suddenly found that the ship that could be operated smoothly before became difficult to control. It was still up to them how hard they worked. The ship in their hands just didn't obey. effective evasive action.

boom!

In fact, in the face of such dense artillery coverage, evasion has become redundant. The only thing they can do is to beg themselves to have good luck and not be hit by local artillery fire.

Perhaps because they did not pray in advance, Pompey's soldiers were not very lucky. It didn't take long for the fleet, which was twisting like a living target, to be urged by the pirates' artillery fire.

Many oversized flagships of the fleet were the first to be hit. Dozens of shells hit them together, and the entire hull instantly shattered into countless debris. Together with the soldiers on board, they sank into the cold seabed.

"Forget about the boat, it's important to escape first."

A group of soldiers had never experienced combat at sea, and a salvo of cannons from thousands of pirates scared them silly. Many people forget the fact that they can't swim. They plunged into the sea and never came up again.
