Pirate Company

"You made a wise decision." Seeing the other party let go, Zhou Yixian let him go and looked for other targets. Everyone present, when they saw Zhou Xian's eyes looking at them, subconsciously lowered their heads, avoiding looking directly at him.

They are really scared, they are afraid that if they are not careful, they will become the next unlucky ghost.

Zhou Yixian's behavior finally reminded the elders of the Senate, who is in charge of the central sea now, they want to continue to conduct maritime trade in the central sea, without the nod of the young people in front of them, they don't even need to think about it over this matter.

Either continue to persist and lose all the income from maritime trade, or agree to let go of the power in hand and continue to enjoy the benefits of maritime trade.

There are only two options left before the Senate. For the first time since the pirates in the Central Sea knew about it, they realized that it was so easy to make money through maritime trade.

They don't want to let go of this quick way to get money, and they don't want Caesar to become a dictator. For a while, the entire Senate fell silent, and they didn't know how to make a choice.

Zhou Yixian didn't want to give everyone time to hesitate, so he forced him: "Caesar becomes a dictator, who agrees and who opposes?"

The elders of the Senate also know that it is time to make a final choice. The other party is obviously well prepared for today and will not give them a chance to delay.

Money, power!

"We agree." Everyone in the Senate pondered for a long time, and finally made a choice. Among the choices between money and money, they finally chose money.

The reason why they made such a choice was nothing more than an expedient measure. They could see that Caesar was bound to become the dictator of the Gladiator Empire.

At this time, if I still can't figure it out, maybe the other party is going to make an example. They didn't want to be this unlucky ghost, of course they flinched first.

Anyway, in the power struggle, it happens from time to time that you sing and I come on stage. Now that Caesar is the dictator, it is hard to say whether he will be or not in the future.

Although Pompeii has retreated from the Eternal City, he still has more than 100,000 troops in his hands. If Caesar wants to truly become the dictator of the gladiator empire, he must first pass the level of Pompeii.

Regardless of the last of the two, whoever will win the final victory. For them, if they keep their own business, even if they lose in the final power struggle, at least they can still live the life of a rich man.

The Senate compromised, and no one could change the fact that Caesar was in power. After agreeing on a series of details, the members of the Senate collectively said: "Through the consensus of the Senate, Caesar is given the title of dictator, and everything in the Gladiator Empire will be decided by Caesar."

With the appointment of the Senate, Caesar finally became the dictator of the gladiator empire. With his demonstration, it may be difficult for the Gladiator Empire to continue to maintain the republican system. After enjoying the beauty of monopolizing power by one person, who would not want to be the next dictator in the power struggle launched by the gladiator empire in the future?

Beginning with Caesar, the gladiator empire has moved from the republic to the age of empire.

"Since you have agreed to the position of dictator, I will do my part." This is what Caesar did this time. He did not pretend to be pretentious and made his first appointment after becoming a dictator. "My follower, Zhou Xian, I will now fulfill my previous promise and appoint you as the commander of the Gladiator Empire Navy, and you will be in charge of the Gladiator Empire Navy in the future."

"I'm going, doesn't that mean that he will have the final say on the affairs of the empire's seas in the future."

The elders of the Senate did not expect Caesar to trust Zhou Xian so much and give him so much power as soon as he came up. The way they looked at Zhou Xian was suddenly different, and it was foreseeable that they would definitely handle their relationship with Zhou Xian in the future.

The reason why the Antoli Pirates dominated the Central Sea was that they did not have the support of a powerful country behind them. Once the resource supply is cut off, basically it can only go to perish. The Yixian Food Fleet was originally the dominant family in the Central Sea, but now with the support of the Gladiator Empire behind it, who can shake the status of the Yixian Food Fleet in the Central Sea in the future.

Since then, the chaos in the central sea has been determined by the young man in front of him.

Suddenly in power, Zhou Yixian didn't have any special feelings, but nodded to Caesar and gave him a reassuring look.

Zhou Yixian said: "The ocean belongs to me, and the land belongs to you."

His words basically showed that he would never have any thoughts about the Gladiator Empire. Although the two are friends, they are still brothers, and some things must be made clear in advance.

"I believe in you, that's why I let you serve as the commander of the empire's pirates." Caesar replied.

After so many years of getting to know each other, Caesar also understood that the other party had no attachment to power at all, and only wanted to make money. Even if he gave up the position of the dictator of the Gladiator Empire to the other party, the other party would not be tempted at all, but would find it troublesome. Too much work would leave him no time to enjoy life.

What's the point of making money if you don't have time to spend it after making money.

This has always been Zhou Xian's life creed.

Caesar and Zhou Yi were busy, and there was a scene of brotherly love, and the two of them were very happy. A group of onlookers, who shared the power of the Gladiator Empire with the Senate, felt uncomfortable.

Is it really okay to just become a dictator and put us aside?

The sea is mine, and the land is yours.

You two really dare to say, dare to do.

Don't forget, there is still a deep-rooted aristocratic class within the Gladiator Empire. If you do this, let's not talk about it. You can ask them if they agree.

In their view, Caesar didn't seem to have learned the compromise methods that should be in politics, and he didn't intend to share any power in their hands at all.

Originally thought that Caesar became a dictator because he just wanted to show his support, but now that the other party really wants to be a real dictator, everyone in the Senate refused to agree.

The previous battle between the Lucius family and Marius, Sulla, who became the dictator, still vividly remembered how severely the Senate suppressed them. It was impossible for them to see this happening before their eyes again.

It seems that we need to increase our support for Pompeii. After a failure, I believe he will be more sensible.

After Caesar and Zhou Yixian finished dividing up the loot, the meeting of the Senate was over, and there was nothing to talk about, so everyone went back to their respective homes and went to find their mothers.

The meeting ended seemingly peacefully, and we can meet each other again, and there is another undercurrent surging under the gladiator empire.

…………

Pompeii, who was thrown to Brundis, the Kingdom of the Gods, on Zhou Yixian, after a period of recuperation, finally recovered from his injuries.

When he woke up and found that he had traveled abroad, Pompeii couldn't be in a better mood. He wanted to fight back to the Gladiator Empire, but he was in a foreign country and he had no subordinates by his side, so he could only think about it.

Fortunately, things have turned around recently. Many representatives of the aristocratic class of the Gladiator Empire, after figuring out his whereabouts, came to him one after another.

Those who found Pompeii had nothing else to do but one purpose, which was to support Pompeii to return to the Gladiator Empire and regain control of the Gladiator Empire.

Recently, after Caesar came to power, he gave great support to the civilian class. He has won the support of many people, but his actions undoubtedly angered the entire aristocratic class. That's why they approached Pompeii, hoping that the other party could defeat Caesar in order to ensure their status.

Seeing that the other party asked for himself, Pompeii of course learned to sit on the ground and raise the price. In the end, after a round of bargaining between the two parties, the aristocratic class found him and agreed to fund his 11 legions, 7,000 cavalry and a fleet of 600 warships.

With the support of the aristocratic class alone, such a huge legion can be formed. It is not necessary to think about how terrifying wealth has accumulated in the hands of the aristocratic class.

With regard to the funding of the nobles, one thing needs to be specifically stated. The fleet of 600 warships was not requested by Pompeii on his own initiative. He has been crippled by Zhou Yi's idle hands in sea battles, and he no longer wants to touch the sea fleet.

However, with Zhou Yixian sinking their merchant ship before, the aristocratic class wanted to break the monopoly of the Yixian Food Fleet Group on the Central Sea, and it was almost as if they were forced to hand over 600 warships to Pompeii.

And there is an attitude that if you don't agree, we won't fund it. Who is to say, in the gladiator empire, there are generals with sea combat experience, apart from Pompeii, they really can't find a better competent person.

For the right to rule the Central Sea, they must hide back.

Thanks to the support of the nobles, Pompey surpassed Caesar in power by a lot at once. He was strong and strong, but he couldn't help his inner ambition.

Everything the nobles in the Gladiator Empire did could not escape Zhou Xian's monitoring. The strange thing is that Caesar and he did not stop the private actions of the aristocrats, as if they were deliberately condoning them.

In the Eternal City, Caesar's new home, the two stood in the hall.

Caesar said: "All the mice that hide in the dark should come out."

Zhou Yixian said: "Once Pompeii's army is defeated, they will never have a chance to come back. This is almost all their strength."

"That's good, we will win the final victory."

"Be confident, the winners can only be us."

Allowing Pompeii to assemble the army, the two also had the intention of doing their best in one battle. Those who should jump out jumped out, and they also saved the trouble of solving them one by one in the future.

After a brief exchange, the two left the hall respectively.

The enemy is ready, and they will be ready.
