Pirate Company.

Chapter 229
With the existence of the pardon order, the pirates in the Central Sea continued to surrender without a fight. The relationship between the pirates and the gladiator empire changed from the original hostile relationship to the relationship between the boss and the employees.

Zhou Yixian's method can be regarded as a solution to 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 wicked people who are unwilling to give up pirates. Occupation, continue to plunder in the central sea.

This group of pirates who stick to the pirate business seem to hate Zhou Yixian, the person who broke the prosperity of the pirate industry, and they always like to trouble the merchant ships of the food company.

In just one month, several merchant ships under Zhou Xian's hands were robbed by pirates.

The threat at sea is eliminated, Zhou Yi is busy living the life of letting go of the boss, and counting money at home is not stable.

So, he called back the Starry Night who traveled to the Gladiator Empire with Eve, intending to completely wipe out the pirates hiding in the dark against him.

"Is there a result?"

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

"Kirikia." Xingye followed Eve for a while, and used the pretext of work to travel around, incidentally broadcasting the food of the newly opened gourmet restaurants around the Gladiator Empire, and became a well-known beauty and food anchor. She was a little bit reluctant to make money while traveling, and was suddenly called back by Zhou Yixian. Of course, she was a little reluctant and said: "There is nothing else in the future, please don't bother me. In order to promote your gourmet products, I am 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 very interesting to be an anchor. Through the live broadcast, she can meet many interesting people and things that she has never seen before.

She originally ran away from home intending to explore the outside world, but under Zhou Yixian's guidance, she became a popular anchor of Yixian Live Broadcasting Company.

"I will make it up to you."

"Is there any new food, give me a taste."

"Let's finish the work first and then talk about it."

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

Whoever called Eve and Xingye was born like a young lady, so he didn't usually buy him much, so he had no choice but to make a bad move, but the effect was not bad.Every time, the two of them moved their index fingers, and they would obediently listen to Zhou Xian's words.

With Xingye's ability to locate at sea, it is much easier to find pirates who like to trouble the merchant ships of Yixian Food Company. Zhou Yixian set off for Kirikia with his large fleet in order to get it done once and for all.

The dispatch of such a large-scale fleet in the Central Sea naturally cannot be concealed from the prying eyes of interested people. As soon as Zhou Yixian led the Yixian Food Fleet to dispatch, someone immediately reported the news to Pompeii who returned to the Eternal City.

"Is the news confirmed?" Pompey asked.

"Your Excellency, 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 was overjoyed, and after his subordinates left, he murmured decisively, "Since you have left, don't even think about coming back."

Judging from the conversation between Pompeii and his subordinates, it is not difficult to see that the piracy against Yixian Food Company was premeditated.It's just that they don't know what kind of ulterior conspiracy lies behind Pompeii.

Not long after Zhou Yixian left with his men and horses, the old problem of the Gladiator Empire happened again. The Senate made a decision to send Caesar, who has been in the limelight recently, to go out on an expedition to the neighboring small countries to make some money for the Gladiator Empire. Flowers.

In fact, this decision of the Senate is understandable.Between countries, there is no time for greatness and righteousness. There are only bloody plunders and collusion of interests behind the scenes.

The weak will be bullied, and it will be eternal wherever you go, especially in this pirate world, which is more obvious.

Due to the long-term civil strife and the war against pirates, the internal finances of the Gladiator Empire have been seriously out of reach.Looting the small surrounding countries is a feasible way that the Gladiator Empire thought of.

Now that there is public support, Caesar, who still lacks enough military exploits, didn't think much about it after receiving the order. He led his men and horses and left the Eternal City in no time to work for the empire.

In his heart, he thought that he must take advantage of the opportunity to perform well. 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 left, Pompey appeared in the Senate.

"We have kept Caesar away from the Eternal City according to your wishes, what are you doing here?" Everyone in the Senate did not look good when they saw Pompey's arrival.

The order Caesar received before was not what they meant at all, but a decision they had no way to make under the threat of Pompey.

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

During the empire's campaign to eradicate pirates, Pompeii had already received sufficient support from the Senate.If you want money and people in your hands, Pompeii's ambitions can't be suppressed.

His frequent behavior of pointing fingers at the Senate has long made everyone in the Senate very dissatisfied.Since he did not have enough power to contend with him, Caesar undoubtedly became the last bargaining chip of the Senate against Pompey.

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.
