Pirate Company
Chapter 217 Antoli's Past and Present
He has been struggling to find the other person, and since he came to his door today, Juus certainly doesn't mind punishing Zhou Xian. However, before he could be proud, he saw a shocking scene.
I don't know when, the ground around Zhou Xian turned into a thick black, and at a glance, there is a feeling that the soul is about to be swallowed. Juus saw that as soon as his men stepped onto the black ground, before they had time to react, they were swallowed up silently.
Si!
The pirates on Crete couldn't help but gasped when they saw the extremely strange and terrifying scene in front of them.
Hundreds of master pirates disappeared from the world without even a single wave rising. Anyone who saw this scene would have such a reaction.
"It has become stronger again, what a monster."
Zhou Yixian shot casually, and Juus keenly felt that if he faced the opponent alone now, the result of the fight would be hard to say.
In the past, he felt that if Zhou Xian used some of his own special means, he would definitely not be able to handle it. However, now Juus had a feeling that even in a normal fight, he might not be able to beat the opponent without using those hidden methods.
Every time they meet, Zhou Yixian puts different pressure on Juus. Zhou Yixian showed his own strength, so Juus naturally didn't dare to continue to make trouble for the other party.
Juus said: "As you said, we don't necessarily have to fight to the death. Let's return my subordinates."
Having played against Zhou Yixian many times, Juus still has some understanding of his abilities. What he said gave both sides a step down. As long as Zhou Yixian stopped making excessive moves, the conflict between the two sides would not continue to intensify.
"The next time you beg for mercy, remember to say it earlier."
Zhou Yi raised his free hand, and a black column of smoke rushed out of his hand, and the hundreds of pirates who had been swallowed by the darkness before were thrown in front of Juus like garbage.
Seeing his men missing arms and legs, Juus didn't get angry. There are world rules in this world, provoking the strong should pay a little price.
Although the subordinates lost a little body parts, they finally saved their lives, and their strength will definitely decline, but these people are still good at sea navigation, and that is enough.
Now that the two sides found the steps, Juus looked a little better and said, "I know your purpose, needless to say, but I want to hear how you moved me to agree to join hands with Caesar to deal with Pompeii."
"It's not that we joined forces, but that you have to attack Pompeii." Zhou Yixian corrected Juus' thoughts and continued: "You have also seen the picture just now, and you must want to know that helping Pompeii train soldiers is some Who. You don’t need me to tell you about their identities. They belong to the Phoenicians just like you. Pompey didn’t trust them. In order to prevent your compatriots from rebelling, Pompeii didn’t issue them weapons.”
"You should understand what I mean. Pompeii is driving your compatriots like livestock."
"This reason is not enough," Juus said.
The formation of the Antoli Pirates is inextricably linked to the powerful Gladiator Empire. The Phoenicians have always had the title of "Central Sea Horse Coachman". Relying on their control of the maritime transport trade in the Central Sea, they founded the Kingdom of Carthage.
Soon, Carthage, with its strong economy, was targeted by the Gladiator Empire. Due to the small size of the country, the Phoenicians were not opponents of the Gladiator Empire at all.
Although Carthage resisted, it failed to resist the attack of the gladiator empire in the end. When Carthage fell, the fire burned for 17 days, and the embers were one meter high after the fire was extinguished. That's not all, the Gladiator Empire shoveled up the ashes and sprinkled salt on them, which was a curse to prevent Carthage from being resurrected.
Killing people.
Most of the few Phoenicians who survived became slaves of the Gladiator Empire, conducting maritime trade activities for them.
As a member of the Phoenicians, Juus escaped to the sea by luck and started working as a pirate. Relying on his powerful strength, he gathered many navigators who were conquered by the gladiator empire and forced to work for the gladiator empire. With a common hatred for the Gladiator Empire, they engaged in the good profession of pirates at sea, in order to harass and destroy the Gladiator Empire.
This is the origin of the Antoli Pirates. It is almost the sin of the Gladiator Empire itself that caused the previous crisis within the Empire.
This is also the reason why the Gladiator Empire is determined and wants to wipe out all the pirates in the Central Sea. Because, there is already an irreconcilable contradiction between them.
It is true that Juus is a Phoenician, but years of pirate experience have made him forget the hatred of subjugation. Now he is completely qualified as the leader of the pirates.
He will never do anything that is not beneficial.
Even with the knife resting on his neck, he remained unmoved. If the Antoli Pirates want to help deal with Pompeii, Caesar must pay enough.
Juus said: "The partners of the Antoli Pirates are my compatriots. I cannot sacrifice my compatriots in vain in order to become the historical Carthage Kingdom. You are a good lobbyist, and you have done your homework in advance , Even the entanglement between the Antoli Pirates and the Gladiator Empire is somewhat understood. What I want to tell you is that there is no eternal hatred in this world, only eternal interests."
"If you want the Antoli Pirates to take action, you must show enough sincerity."
Juus' words not only represent his personal meaning, but also represent the meaning of the entire Antoli Pirates. At first, it was indeed because of their hatred of the Gladiator Empire that they finally came together and formed the Antoli Pirates Alliance. However, after enjoying the thrill of looting, they were lost in death and killing, and the hatred in their hearts had long been lost.
Now they are just a group of pure "sea beggars", but whoever has a stutter, they can do anything that makes people feel ashamed.
Just like before, it was for money, and they also didn't mind betraying the rebel army to help the Gladiator Empire, a former enemy.
After dealing with the Antoli Pirates for a long time, Zhou Yixian certainly knows the style of the opposite group of pirates. He hadn't planned to join forces with the pirates. When the entire Gladiator Empire wanted to wipe out the pirates, he and Caesar would not have done such an irrational thing.
Zhou Yixian's purpose of coming here is just to hope that Antoli Pirates can take the initiative to trouble Pompeii, and not let the other side's business of destroying pirates go too smoothly.
After all, both Caesar and Pompey had a common task, and whoever did a better job would get greater support from the Senate.
With the Antoli Pirates waiting to die, sooner or later they will be wiped out by Pompeii. After all, the Antoli Pirates are the product of a group of bereaved dogs huddling together to keep warm. In the face of the powerful imperial machine, it is really not enough. When Pompeii had enough time to train his soldiers, the Antoli Pirates would not be far from being destroyed.
Although there is a group of excellent gladiator imperial army under him, the soldiers under Pompeii don't know how to sail. What he needs now is time to train his soldiers so that they can have enough navigation skills to support his war against pirates.
The purpose of being free on Monday is not to give Pompey time. You want time to train soldiers, so I'll leave you with no time.
"I won't give you what you want." After seeing himself on Monday, Juus was ready to see off the guests with a look of disappointment on his face, and then said: "I think you have already got the news about the anti-piracy law passed by the Senate before." "
Before Zhou Yi could continue talking, Juus interrupted: "Pirates have never been a legal profession. Whether or not there is this code of the Senate has little effect on the Antoli Pirates."
Without hearing what he wanted from the other party, Juus didn't want to continue talking with the other party.
Zhou Yixian was unmoved, and continued: "You may not be very clear about the specific regulations of this code. There is one point that I think you will be interested in."
Juus had only heard about the Pirate Law passed by the Gladiator Empire, but he really didn't know the specifics of it. Hearing Zhou Yixian's words, he immediately became interested and said, "Let's hear, is there anything worthy of the attention of Antoli Pirates."
As long as the other party wants to move, Zhou Yixian will have a solution. He said with a smile: "There is no other matter, but there is one thing. However, any force that conducts transactions with pirates without the permission of the Gladiator Empire will be regarded as a joint venture of the Empire." The enemy will be hit hardest by the Gladiator Empire."
"What."
Hearing Zhou Xian's words, Juus couldn't keep calm anymore, and stood up from his seat. This move of the Gladiator Empire is undoubtedly going to completely cut off their source of income, so he can't help being in a hurry.
All kinds of materials looted by pirates must not rot in their own hands. So the merchants who bought the black materials from the pirates came into being. This group of merchants bought the materials looted by pirates at low prices, and then resold them to make a lot of ill-gotten wealth.
Even, many of the clients of this group of merchants are victims who have been robbed by pirates. After this, they spent several times the price to buy the goods and materials that they originally delivered.
Pirates and shadowy underground merchants have become interdependent existences, and neither of them can survive without the other. Once the Gladiator Empire gets its act together, a group of underground businessmen living on the Red Earth Continent will no longer dare to trade privately with pirates.
Without the necessities of life provided by this group of merchants, the fate of the Antoli Pirates is almost predictable. Landing They don't even think about landing. Now the coast of the Central Sea is full of defense forces from the Gladiator Empire. On land, the Antoli Pirates were no match for the soldiers of the Gladiator Empire.
One move to get rid of the bottom line completely messed up Juus.
You are the first grader, don't blame me for the fifteenth grade!
The Antoli Pirates, who originally planned to avoid the limelight, had to fight back. Cutting off their money is more unbearable than killing their parents.
"Captain, it's better to give it a go than just sit and wait."
The pirates of the Antoli Pirates also couldn't sit still.
"I have to admit, I was moved by you. I think you came to see me, it should be more than just giving me a message." Juus also knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and said to Zhou Yixian: "Don't It’s a detour, I want all the information in your hands.”
"Happy to oblige."
Zhou Yi was very happy, and sold all the bases for training soldiers in Pompeii to Juus unconditionally.
