Rome Must Fall

Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Carlisipempas shook his head mockingly: "You are wrong, I am a fart wise man, I am as stupid as you are to think that I can freely obtain the wealth of the sea, even Rome can't stop it Us, hum!

The real wise man is Maximus, the leader of the Nyx tribe. He began to remind me a few years ago that 'our wanton actions at sea will inevitably anger Rome. Once the overlord of the Mediterranean recognizes his true nature, not only Adri Yahai, pirates in the entire Mediterranean will have nowhere to hide'——"

Kalsipempas suddenly stopped talking and fell into deep thought. In fact, he didn't take Maximus's reminder to heart at first, but later as the Nyx tribe became stronger and Maximus became more famous, Sheng, the rumor that "he was favored by the gods" also affected foreigners such as Carlsipimpas who had close contacts with the Knicks. In addition, Maximus reminded Carlsypampas many times in the past two years. This made him start to pay attention to this matter.

However, since the iron ore has been handed over to the Aldiyi tribe in the mountains to the west, because this matter is done well, the poverty situation of the tribes in the mountains can be greatly improved. However, the demand for iron ore from the Nyx tribe is increasing day by day. Once this is done, The inability to complete the supply of iron ore to the Nix tribe on time gave Ambrasinos and other southern tribe leaders an opportunity to seize control of the iron ore. The upward momentum of the tribes in the mountains will be seriously affected. blow.

Therefore, as the leader of the mountain tribe, Kalsipempas had to spend a lot of time personally in charge of the iron mines to ensure the smooth operation of the mining without hindrance. Therefore, the time for going out to sea for plundering gradually decreased, and later he simply entrusted Onoma Bai. Tis took his place and managed his band of pirates.

Although he has begun to restrain his men from going out to plunder, he has not yet planned to completely disband them. However, the arrival of these people today shocked him: since what Maximus warned has come true, then what he said Will the subsequent development of ?

Calsipempas thought for a long time before speaking out what Maximus once said: "After the Romans fully surrender us, merchant ships in the Mediterranean can safely sail and trade. This will be of great benefit to Rome. I believe that From then on, the Romans would regard the Mediterranean as their inland sea and protect it carefully.

Once there is another incident of pirates robbing merchant ships, they will definitely send out fleets to encircle and suppress them with all their strength, so don't wait for Rome's maritime encirclement and suppression operations to end before quietly going to sea to plunder!

For the safety of all of you, I suggest you give up being a pirate, go back to your respective tribes, and settle down to farm and herd—"

Before Carlsipempas finished speaking, several pirate leaders headed by Agatacus shouted: "It is because the tribe is poor that we have to go out to become pirates. If we go back to the tribe now, the tribe will be full of people." I’m afraid there won’t be enough food to eat, and everyone will starve to death.”

"You're lucky, you have a tribe to return to, haha... My tribe was wiped out by other tribes 10 years ago, otherwise I wouldn't be wandering around the sea with my brothers."

…

Even Onomabatis came close to Kalsipempas and whispered: "Boss, based on my understanding of the brothers, most of them have become wild outside. Let them come back." It may be difficult to farm and herd in peace in one’s own tribe, and there might even be trouble!”

"It is better to live than to lose your life and have your body hung on a cross by the Romans." Calsipempas warned in a deep voice.

"...Maybe it would be easier for them to die in battle." Onoma Baitis murmured in a low voice.

Calsipempas glared at him, turned to look at the others, and asked, "How many of you are there now?"

"I have forty-seven brothers."

"I have thirty-six people."

"Thirty-one."

"Twenty-eight."

"Nineteen."

…

Including the 105 brothers under his command who escaped pursuit, the number exceeds 250. These are more than 200 strong men who have been fighting at sea for many years, like wolves and tigers! ...Calsy Pampas made a careful calculation, felt slightly startled, and hurriedly asked: "Where are these brothers?"

"They all came together, but I'm afraid of causing you misunderstanding, so I asked them to wait on the mountain over there first." Koblen Bodus turned back and pointed to the mountains in the distance.

Kalsi Pampas breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his eldest son approvingly: These people were able to bring so many men from the tribe to come here again. Koblen Budus must have played a big role in this. Look, He knew very well that if so many people continued to stay near the tribe for a long time, there would be no guarantee that problems would not arise...

He thought about it for a while, and then said: "Since some of you are unwilling to return to the tribe, some of you have no tribe to return to, and you can no longer continue to be pirates, if you want to live well... maybe there is only one way - That’s joining the Knicks tribe.”

"Nix tribe?" Except for Onomabaitis, the other pirate leaders are unfamiliar with this tribe. After all, they are not Ardei people. They all come from the mountains in the south and usually wander along the Adriatic coast. Naturally, I haven't heard anything about the Knicks.

Kalsipempas briefly introduced the situation of the Nix tribe to them, but of course concealed the true origin of the Nix people.

The pirate leaders learned that the Nyx were a mercenary army a few years ago and came here at the invitation of the Ardei. However, it only took them a few years to defeat the powerful Pannoni tribal alliance and occupy A huge tract of land...the news shocked them.

At the same time, they were also moved by the Knicks tribe's willingness to absorb people of all races and allocate more than fifty acres of land to them, so they decided to discuss it with their subordinates first, which of course included Onomabai. Tis.

Watching them hurriedly rush to the distant mountains and forests, Kobrembdus asked a little worriedly: "Father, you suggest that they join the Nix tribe, but will the Nix people agree to accept them?"

"Of course I have to ask for the opinions of the Knicks, but I think Chief Maximus will agree." Carl Sippenpas said firmly: "Because they are short of labor now, and they just took another one from us not long ago. I took away five hundred Pannoni slaves and suggested that I should try my best to feed and house the slaves and ensure their safety...

Haha, if I hadn't asked my brothers to venture to the coastal towns of Africa to capture batches of prisoners in recent years and enrich our mining team, otherwise our iron mines would also have insufficient labor. Maximus owed I'm a favor!

This time I received an invitation from Maximus to attend the summer festival of the Nyx tribe. By the way, I could ask him to let these pirate brothers join the Nyx tribe. He shouldn't refuse.

However, without his consent, all these people cannot be taken to the territory of the Nix tribe. I have to keep them here first——"

Kalsipempas looked at his son and said solemnly: "While I am away, you will stay here and manage the iron mine for me for a period of time. The important thing is to keep an eye on these guys." We can’t let them cause trouble here, I will ask Onoma Baitis to stay and bring my brothers to assist you.”

"Don't worry, father, I will take care of this place and prevent anything from happening to it!"

The reason why Koblen Budus is so confident is that he stayed here to manage the iron mines during the past few years when Carlisle Pampas couldn't help but go to sea to plunder. Therefore, he is very familiar with the affairs of the iron mines. He was also familiar with the more than 800 tribal warriors stationed here to guard the slaves. With their help, he was not worried at all that these pirates who had just escaped from death would act randomly.

Half an hour later, Onomabatis led a team of more than 200 people to the vicinity of the simple dock. After discussion, the desperate pirates finally agreed to join the Nyx tribe. Of course, Carlisle Pampas was in Adri. Personal prestige among Asian pirates played a large role in this.

Despite Themispoulos's strong objections, Kalsipempas insisted that the iron mines were now in the hands of the tribes in their mountains, and he certainly had the right to allow these pirates to temporarily live in the iron ore camps.

The iron ore camp is also on the bank of the Kupa River, not far from the mine and the dock. Before the Knicks entered the mountains, it was just a deserted beach. Later, the Aldie tribe decided to reopen the iron mine, led by Budo Karibasi. Tribes that lost their territories, such as the Cicelitses and the Cicelites, were responsible for the management. In order to accommodate thousands of slaves and the nearly a thousand warriors who guarded them, leaders such as Budokaribas led the people to build dormitories, houses, warehouses and fences on this deserted beach near the mine.

When Kalsipempas and the others took over, they further improved the camp. Now it is a village with wooden walls, a watchtower, and houses inside. Its scale has exceeded that of any Aldi tribe living in the mountains. There were even requests from Ardei soldiers stationed here to bring their families to live here, but Kalsipempas ultimately did not agree.

The maximum number of people who lived in this camp was more than 10,000. Later, due to the Knicks tribe's repeated extraction of slaves and other reasons, the number of people living in the camp today is only about 6,000. There are enough spare wooden houses for these two people. More than a hundred pirates lived there.

Early the next morning, the two Ardei elders, Chalsipempas and Themispoulos, set off with a fleet loaded with iron ore, accompanied by Agatacus and several other pirate leaders, as well as representatives. The brothers first went to the Nyx territory to meet Dioscris and Nikala Redas, the pirate men of Kalsi Pampas.
