Pirate Company

The enemies had already reached the gate of the house, and the soldiers of the Gladiator Empire were still sleeping soundly. They didn't need to think about it, but they knew that there was only one big defeat waiting for them.

The rebel army led by Sparta took advantage of the night, and Claudius lost about half of his troops after a round of rushing. Looking at the soldiers who were killed by the rebel army like a god-like soldier, Claudius deliberately organized his hands to fight back, but he was powerless after all.

In the end, Claudius could only take a few guards, and fled back to the Eternal City in a hurry under the cover of night. The weapons, equipment and food left by the 3,000 elite soldiers were all cheap for the Spartan insurgents.

The Senate was expecting the news that Claudius would bring them a big victory, but unexpectedly, they brought back a defeat that they didn't want to see. On the day they returned to the Eternal City, Claudius was removed from all positions by the Senate.

Through Claudius' narration of the battle between the two sides, the Senate analyzed afterwards that if they hadn't urged too hard, they might have successfully wiped out the rebel army. However, who would have thought that the rebel army would suddenly appear in one's own barracks, which led to the defeat of the battle. After thinking about it, the Senate did not want to understand what kind of means the other party used to kill them in their own barracks without anyone noticing.

In the end, they could only sigh helplessly: Time is, fate is also!

The rebel army that had won the first battle was like a single spark that started a prairie fire. The news of their victory instantly spread to every corner of the Gladiator Empire. Many slaves, free farmers, and even soldiers who had long been dissatisfied with the authorities defected to the ranks of the rebels. The ranks of the rebels led by Sparta suddenly expanded to 70,000 people.

The Senate, which had such a headache, could only appoint a new consul, Varenne, who led a 12,900-member legion to intercept the rebel army led by Sparta in three ways. After a while, the rebel army was blocked in a In the col. The Senate, which thought they were finally winning this time, did not expect that what awaited them was news of another big defeat.

After the army led by Varenne was turned around by Sparta's golden cicada trick, they were almost killed by the insurgents who were waiting for work, and the whole army was wiped out. The winner even became the spoils of the rebel army. .

After this battle, the number of rebels grew to as many as 120,000, which completely dragged the Gladiator Empire into the quagmire of war.

The situation of the rebel army is very good, and there is no need to pay too much attention on Monday. And now, he was assigned a new task by Marius.

In the waters of the Central Sea of ​​the Red Earth Continent, a dilapidated ship was sailing. The leader was a young man, who was sitting leisurely on a deck chair blowing the sea breeze, and there were two beautiful women standing beside him.

This person, none other than Zhou Yi, was free. It has been more than a month since Caesar was captured by the pirates. Recently, the pirates sent a special letter to the Eternal City. The letter said that they had reached an agreement with Caesar, and the other party was willing to pay fifty talents In exchange for his freedom,

If the Eternal City is willing to pay the ransom, take Tarrant to an unnamed island in the Central Sea and bring back the person you want.

At the end of the letter, there is a detailed record of the island where Caesar stayed.

Marius who received the letter, because of the affairs of the Gladiator Empire, was enough to make him burnt out, and he really couldn't take care of him. In the end, the glorious task of redeeming Caesar could only fall into the hands of Caesar's follower Zhou Xian.

After Zhou Yixian received a broken ship from Marius and a dozen so-called sailors, he came to the central sea and embarked on the road to redeem Caesar.

They are expected to take five days to reach the small island where Caesar is located, and they have been sailing in the central sea for about ten days. Almost one and a half months have passed since Caesar was kidnapped by pirates.

If you still can't find the island where Caesar is located, Zhou Yixian is a little worried. Because of his lateness, the pirates thought that Caesar was playing with them, and the pirates had already chopped them into meat sauce and threw them into the sea to feed the fish.

"No, Julius Caesar is not such a person who dies so easily." Lying on the recliner, he took a sip of the juice delivered by Xingye leisurely, Zhou Yixian silently cheered for Caesar, and then turned his head and asked the soldiers under him : "Have you figured out the direction? If it's later, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find Caesar's bones."

"My lord, we have tried our best. According to the address recorded in the letter, it is obviously the place before. We don't understand why this happened. Give us a little more time, and we will definitely be able to find the island where Lord Caesar is."

The most outstanding sailors under Mario, upon hearing Zhou Xian's question, hurriedly took out the letters in their hands, and carefully compared the environment in front of them with the place recorded on the map to see how far away they were.

They were really scared. If they still couldn't find the designated location, if it was because of their delay that Caesar lost his life, they might suffer as well.

It's just that sometimes, if you try hard in the wrong direction, it will be a fruitless matter after all. At this moment, the sailors on the ship had all the letters in their hands upside down, so how could they find the island where Caesar was located.

They have been living on land, and it is a bit too embarrassing for them to rely on them to sail on the sea.

"The map in your hand is upside down, do you know?" Zhou Yixian looked at the sailor pretending to be busy, and kindly reminded him.

"."

The sailors, who pretended not to hear, turned the map in their hands around without missing a trace. They suddenly found that the reversed map was familiar to them. Once they turned the direction, they couldn't even understand it.

"You guys won't be navigating with the reversed map all the time, are you?" Xingye asked frankly.

"No, we've been on the right track, um, there's nothing wrong, that's the direction, and we'll be able to find Lord Caesar soon, please rest assured, adults."

It is impossible to admit it. A group of people in the water randomly found a direction on the vast sea and accelerated the speed of the boat.

After all, whether they can successfully find Caesar, they can only beg for the favor of the goddess of luck.

The invincible gladiator empire on land, but in the sea, is that all?

Zhou Yi was too lazy to complain about them. Seeing that Mario, one of the big bosses of the Gladiator Empire, had the best sailors under him at this level, he understood why such a powerful empire would be defeated by mere pirates. It's a matter of life and death.

It turned out that most soldiers didn't even know the nautical charts.

However, Zhou Yixian was not much better than them, otherwise he wouldn't be lying leisurely on the recliner. As for Xingye and Eve beside him, they couldn't count on it.

Have any of you seen that a princess of a country has to do it herself to take a boat?

I was a little lucky on Monday. Fortunately, the kidnapping of Caesar was just a temporary idea of ​​a few pirates. If Juus kidnapped Caesar, Caesar would have to wait until the year of the monkey to be rescued, relying on the naval power of the Gladiator Empire.

Forget it, let's see fate.

Caesar's fate is in the hands of a broken ship driven by a group of unreliable friends and a dozen "excellent" sailors.

I have to say that the future Caesar seems to have a problem with making friends.

Just when a group of people waited for the goddess of luck to visit, the island was nowhere to be seen, but the pirates did. All I saw was that in the boundless blue sea with rippling waves, several ships with pirate flags suddenly appeared, speeding up blatantly, blocking their way.

"This is the first wave of pirates I have encountered." Zhou Yixian complained: "The probability of encountering pirates in the central sea is much higher than that of encountering small islands."

Counting the wave of pirates in front of them, Zhou Yi idled their ships, this was already the third wave of pirates they encountered.

As soon as the ships of the two parties came into contact, a pirate leader swaggered onto their ship on Monday. Seeing the clothes of Zhou Yixian and the others lying on the deck, he knew he had caught a big fish.

The people in front of them were obviously not dressed like ordinary people. The pirate leader was afraid of meeting someone he couldn't provoke, so he asked first, "Who are you?"

The three of them were busy on Monday, as if they didn't hear each other's questions, they were still doing what they were doing, drinking juice, eating melon seeds, lazily blowing the sea breeze, but no one noticed the rash boarding Pirate leader.

Even the dozen or so sailors on board the ship didn't take a straight look at the ferocious looking pirate leader.

That's right, the pirate bosses in front of them are all the pirates of the third wave they encountered, and they have long been used to it. What's more, with those two adults on board, they have nothing to worry about.

One can turn a person into a stone sculpture, and the other can swallow a person in the endless darkness, even the bones cannot be found. If the two of them don't provoke you, just burn the incense.

Hurry up, my life is gone.

The sailors recalled Zhou Yixian and Eve's terrifying strength in their hearts, and they looked at the pirate leader in front of them with a hint of pity.

The performance of the people on board was all seen by the pirate leader, and he immediately felt insulted. I have been in the pirate industry for so many years, and I have never met people as bold as these people in front of me.

You have to say, seeing this uncle, a boatload of people were too scared to speak, kneeling down and begging for mercy, isn't this the normal scenario for ordinary people to encounter pirates.

One by one, just ignore it, what does the pity in your eyes mean?

"Who the hell are you guys?" I wondered in my heart whether I was the pirate leader who was not enough to be a pirate. This time, he almost yelled, and asked several people what he had asked before.

The yelling of the pirate leader finally attracted the attention of the whole ship this time.

Hey, you're done!

The pity in the eyes of the sailors became more and more obvious.

Why, you want to disturb us to see the scenery?

Zhou Yixian and the three of them looked at the pirate leader with puzzled eyes.

"Sorry to bother you."

For some reason, feeling the gazes of three well-dressed young men, especially the gazes of the young man and a slightly arrogant and beautiful woman among the three, the pirate leader suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong, and felt embarrassed scratched his head.
