After some inventory, the battle damage data came out.

In one battle, the Skeleton Army lost 180 soldiers and horses, [-] warships, more than half of the stone bombs, crossbow arrows, bows and arrows prepared on board, and the food shortage lasted for a month.

In the large cabin of the Skeleton, Lu Meng called the chiefs of the various ministries to discuss the military situation.

This is the second time the Skeleton Army has suffered a disastrous defeat.

In the past, it was defeated by the Italian First Army, and that battle was almost destroyed.

This battle is equally dangerous.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the generals in the cabin was somewhat gloomy.

Sitting at the top of the seat, Lu Meng glanced around and glanced at the generals. He understood their emotions to some extent, so he added a bit of anger: "Everyone, there is another bad news that I need to tell you!"

"bad news?"

"What bad news?"

The pupils of the generals shrank suddenly, swallowing the spittle from their throats one by one.

"Skull Island and the eighteen islands of our skeleton army have been razed by the Roman army!" Lu Meng said in Greek, "God has abandoned our home!"

"How could this be?"

"Skull Island is so hidden, if no one leads the way, no one can find it!"

"And this battle is clearly prepared by the Roman Empire's army!"

"We have spies among us!"

All the generals had gloomy faces, peering at each other with murderous intent.

Although the pirates are happy with the situation, but for those small pirates, for the skeleton army, they have begun to break away from the pirate way of life. Skull Island is the place where the skeleton army lives and lives.

Now that this place is gone, do they want to go back to the old days when they wandered around without stopping?

"I've already dealt with the spies!"

Lu Meng said: "I told you today that there is only one purpose, what should we do in the future?"

"Where do we go?"

The generals were silent.

"I, Poseidon, am incompetent. I put you in danger today. I am willing to give up my position as the leader of the skeleton army. As long as whoever can lead everyone out of the predicament, I am willing to elect him as the leader of the heart!"

Lu Meng retreated to advance.

"No!"

Turras suddenly stood up: "Lord Poseidon was sent by God to save us homeless people. Since following Lord Poseidon, we are no longer those rats crossing the street. Everyone shouts and beats us. Straighten our backs and be human, we can face the majestic Roman Empire head-on, without Lord Poseidon, we would not be where we are today!"

"That's right, Master Poseidon, this battle is not your fault, it's the spies who tipped off the information, which led to such a failure!"

"Master Poseidon, we have entered into such a situation, do you still want to abandon us?"

The generals respected Lu Meng very much.

Although they have rebellious characters, whoever treats them well and who makes them live a good life, they will remember in their hearts.

"Since you trust me so much in Poseidon, how can I be sorry for you, I let you fall into such a situation!" Lu Meng's face was deep, and his voice was loud: "I will definitely bring you out of the predicament!"

Lu Meng paused, and continued: "After today's defeat, we will have no place to stand. The Roman army is chasing us. I don't have enough food and grass. No matter where I flee, I can't hide from the Roman warships." Chasing, if you want to survive, there is only one way!"

"any solution?"

"What can be done?"

Pairs of eyes lit up sharply, and their eyes were filled with the desire to survive.

"In this world, the Roman Empire is the absolute overlord. I'm just beating an egg to a rock. The Roman Empire has now used ten legions. We can't even win a single legion. We can't compete with such a huge Roman Empire!"

Lu Meng started to get to the point, and said quietly: "But the Roman Empire is not without enemies, you have heard of the Eastern Devil!"

"Oriental devil?"

"It's the oriental devil who is at war with the Roman army in Egypt, Syria, and Antioch!"

"Master Poseidon's hair and skin are different from ours. I have never seen it in Rome. Could it be that your master is the so-called Eastern Devil?"

The generals looked at Lu Meng suspiciously.

They were pirates, so they might not be the strongest in battle, but they were the fastest to receive news.

They had somewhat heard the news that the Roman Empire and the Eastern Devils were at war.

It's just that this matter is far away from their Roman sea, and they don't care.

"That's right, I'm also an Oriental!"

Lu Meng frankly admitted: "I come from the Great Wu Dynasty in the east. A few years ago, I joined the army of the Dynasty and fought against the Roman army, but I was scattered and couldn't go home, so I stayed. I am the same as the Roman Empire. Enemy, so I choose you!"

As soon as he said this, all the generals changed their colors a little bit, and several generals held their sabers and were secretly on guard.

"Don't worry, everyone, we are going through life and death, and I will never harm you!"

Lu Meng sighed, and said: "I wanted to be happy with you on the sea, ignoring the rivalry between the two overlords, but the Roman Empire can't tolerate us, I don't want to die, and you don't want to die, so I want to take You go back to the East!"

When the generals heard the words, they remained silent.

A pair of eyes looked at each other.

All I could see were the bewildered eyes of sitting around.

If Lu Meng had uttered this sentence before, no matter how affectionate and deep-rooted the words were, ten out of ten pirates would not agree with them, and some would even draw their swords and kill them quickly.

But the pirates of the Skeleton Army are facing the current situation. There are chasing soldiers behind and tigers and wolves in front. They can't go, they can't go, they can't stay. The words touched their hearts.

They are just pirates, living in the sea by stealing, and they don't have a deep sense of family and country righteousness in their hearts.

Nor are they loyal ministers to the centuries-old Roman Empire.

They just want to survive.

Now that the Roman army has put swords around their necks, how to survive is the most important thing in their lives.
