Pirate Company

With the existence of the pardon order, the pirates in the Central Sea surrendered one after another without a fight. The original hostile relationship between the pirates and the Gladiator Empire became that of a boss and an employee.

Zhou Xian's method can be regarded as solving the pirate threat that has existed in the Gladiator Empire for many years. It is impossible to say that all pirates will buy into the matter of working for the Gladiator Empire. There are always some inherently evil people who are unwilling to give up on pirates. Occupation, continue to plunder in the central sea.

This group of pirates who persist in their pirate business seem to particularly hate Yi Xian, the man who disrupted the prosperity of the pirate industry. They always like to cause trouble for Yi Xian Food Company's merchant ships.

In just one month, several merchant ships under Zhou Xianshou were robbed by pirates.

The threat at sea has been eliminated, and Zhou Xian, who has been living a life without his boss, can no longer count his money safely at home.

So, he called back Xingye, who traveled to the Gladiator Empire with Eve, and planned to completely eliminate this group of pirates hiding in the dark against him.

"Is there any result?"

Zhou Zhou was idle on the deck of his flagship, blowing the sea breeze as if nothing had happened, and asked Xingye beside him as if chatting.

"Ciligia." Xingye has recently been following Eve, traveling around on the pretext of work, and live broadcasting the delicacies of newly opened Yixian food restaurants in various parts of the Gladiator Empire, and has become a well-known beauty food anchor. She was a little happy to make money while traveling, and suddenly she was called back by Yiyi Xian. Of course she was a little reluctant, and said: "I have nothing else to do in the future, so please don't bother me. In order to promote your gourmet products, You are already very tired at ordinary times. As a qualified boss, you have to learn to be considerate of your employees."

Xingye is not really short of money. As the princess of Mermaid Island, she just thinks it is interesting to be a live broadcast. Through live broadcast, she can get to know many interesting people and things she has never seen before.

She originally ran away from home and planned to explore the outside world, but under the guidance of Yi Xian, she became a popular anchor under Yi Xian Live Broadcasting Company.

"I will make it up to you."

"Is there any new food? Let me try it quickly."

"Finish the work first and then talk."

After a brief exchange, Xingye still succumbed to Zhou Yixian's tried and tested trick, which was to use new delicacies to make her work honestly for him.

Eve and Xingye were born as eldest ladies, so they usually didn't buy into him, so he had no choice but to make this move, but the effect was pretty good. Every time the two of them moved their index fingers, they would obediently listen to Zhou Xian's words.

With Xingye's sea positioning ability, it will be much easier to find pirates who like to cause trouble for the merchant ship of Yi Xian Food Company. In order to solve the problem once and for all, Yi Xian set off towards Cilicia with his large fleet.

The dispatch of such a large-scale fleet on the central sea naturally could not hide from the prying eyes of interested people. As soon as Zhou Xian led a large fleet of food ships to dispatch, someone immediately reported the news to Pompeii who returned to the Eternal City.

"Is the news confirmed?" Pompeo asked.

"My lord, you can't be wrong. Many people have seen it." The man replied.

"The fish has been hooked, and our plan can be implemented." Pompeii said with joy on his face. After his men left, he murmured with a hint of determination: "Now that you have left, don't even think about coming back again."

Judging from the conversation between Pompeii and his men, it is not difficult to see that the piracy against Yixian Food Company was premeditated. I just don’t know what kind of ulterior conspiracy there is behind Pompeii.

Not long after Zhou Xian left with his men, the old problems of the Gladiator Empire happened again. The Senate made a decision to send Caesar, who had been in the limelight recently, to go on an expedition to the surrounding small countries to get some money for the Gladiator Empire. Flowers.

In fact, this decision of the Senate is understandable. There is no time for greatness and justice between countries. There is only bloody plunder and profit collusion behind the scenes.

Weak people will be bullied, and this will never change no matter where they are, especially in this pirate world, it is even more obvious.

Due to the long-term civil strife and the war against pirates, the internal finances of the Gladiator Empire have been seriously unable to make ends meet. Looting the surrounding small countries is a feasible method that the Gladiator Empire thought of.

Now that he had popular support, Caesar, who still lacked sufficient military exploits, didn't think much after receiving the order. He led his men and left the Eternal City in a flash to work for the empire.

He was thinking beautifully that he must take the opportunity to perform well, but what Caesar didn't expect was that it would not be so easy to return to the Eternal City after he left.

Some time after Caesar had left, Pompey appeared in the Senate.

"We followed your wishes and kept Caesar away from the Eternal City. Why are you here?" Everyone in the Senate did not look good when they saw Pompeii's arrival.

The order Caesar received before was not their intention at all, but a decision they were unable to make under Pompeii's coercion.

They are not stupid, how could they transfer Caesar away from the Eternal City at such a critical time.

When the empire launched an operation to exterminate pirates, Pompeii had received sufficient support from the Senate. With money in hand and people in hand, Pompeii's ambitions naturally couldn't be suppressed.

His behavior of often criticizing the Senate has long made everyone in the Senate very dissatisfied. Since he did not have enough power to compete with him, Caesar undoubtedly became the last bargaining chip of the Senate against Pompeii.

The Senate would choose to support Caesar, not because they really wanted to see Caesar's rise, they just didn't want Pompeii to monopolize power and lose the power in their hands.

It is foreseeable that a power struggle within the gladiator empire will be staged again. These people in the Senate really healed their scars and forgot the pain.

They wanted Caesar and Pompey to continue fighting and profit from the crowd, but Pompey didn't want to give them this chance. Caesar's sense of threat to him is increasing day by day, and Pompey just wants to quickly deal with this existence that threatens his status at this moment, and he doesn't intend to procrastinate at all.

The people in the Senate did not have a good look at him. Pompeii had long been used to it. He didn't care about everyone's behavior. He said in an orderly tone, "I have something to trouble you when I come here this time. Help me finish this task." After the incident, I think I won't bother everyone for a short time."

"No matter what you want us to do for you, we will never agree again. Don't forget that the opinion of the Senate is not the opinion of a certain person."

Before Pompeii finished speaking, someone stood up and refuted. As bigwigs, how could they be willing to be driven over and over again.

"Before you speak, I advise you to think carefully." As soon as Pompey finished speaking, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the Senate, holding the weapons in their hands and putting them on the necks of those who had previously refuted Pompeii. The scared opponent immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Satisfied with everyone's performance, Pompeii went on to say: "You seem to have forgotten the glorious tradition in the gladiator empire. Whoever has the most soldiers has the right to speak. But now... I think you are willing to listen. I miss you." help me with something."

"If you have something to say, it doesn't have to be like this. We will agree to whatever you want us to do for you." Everyone in the Senate had their knives on their necks. How could they have the courage to resist? They could only do what the other party said. .

"My request is very simple, first remove Caesar's military power, and second, declare Caesar a public enemy of the gladiator empire." Pompey said.

"Is this request too unreasonable? Caesar has such a high reputation and support among ordinary people. You don't need me to tell you that it is difficult for us to fulfill your request. Ah."

The person who opposed Pompey's opinion in the Senate hadn't finished speaking, but the soldier next to him stabbed him in the heart with a knife, knowing the other party's life.

thump.

The man's weak body fell onto the cold stone slab.

None of the people in the Senate dared to speak out anymore.

"Please remember, I am ordering you, not begging." Pompei glanced at the blood-stained corpse lying on the ground, and said, "There will be another time, and you should understand what will happen."

"Do everything as you say." After everyone in the Senate made a decision, they all sat on the ground limply as if their bodies lost their strength.

Nothing, nothing left.

In the future gladiator empire, they will no longer have the final say.

After understanding this incident, they were left with hesitation and helplessness in their hearts.

They clearly knew that the war between Pompey and Caesar was inevitable, and no matter who won the final victory, they would not give them a good face.

Especially Caesar, they made such a decision, they basically fought against each other. If Caesar had won the final victory, the result of the Senate would only be more tragic.

That being the case, it is better to simply support Pompeii.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons in their minds, the members of the Senate finally chose Pompeii's team.

There is no way. Although Caesar has risen rapidly in recent years, it is still a bit worse than Pompeii. In addition, Pompey made a small plan to transfer him away from the center of power, and everyone in the Senate became less optimistic about Caesar.

If it was said that the people in the Senate stood against Caesar before and had Pompeii's coercion, then now, it is entirely out of the decision made by the people in the Senate for their own consideration.

Without Pompey forcing them to do anything, they would have dealt with Caesar ruthlessly.

The next day, the Senate issued an order to lift Caesar's military power. When the Senate made this decision, it immediately caused an uproar among the people in the Gladiator Empire.

Senate, I'm afraid you have lost your mind.

Regardless of whether the Senate was insane or not, the people of the Gladiator Empire also knew that Caesar would never surrender willingly, and would definitely fight back decisively.

A few days have passed since the first good day, and the Gladiator Empire is about to fall into the quagmire of war again.

Tell me, who do we go to for reasoning.

The pessimistic people of the empire only hope that this war will end soon.
