Roman Slave Owner

At present, we have a lot of information about the pirates, for example, they will target our transport ship, and they have contacts with some officials in Naples, so I decided to set a trap for these.

Levi said.

Trap? What trap?

Morris asked.

Recently we had a ship going to Egypt and I decided to let it go out of Naples.

Levi said.

The master means to lead them out?

Valens said.

That's right, since they will specifically target us, why don't we take the opportunity to lure them out, then find their lair, wipe them all out, and take the opportunity to rescue Camillus.

Levi said.

I think it's a good plan.

Morris said, Maybe we can take the opportunity to lure that traitor out.

During this period of time, the deployment of manpower in Naples has been stepped up. We must find out who is their accomplice?

Levi said.

Obey, Patriarch.

Morris said that Livi bought a large amount of land in Naples and settled a large number of Roman citizens there, so he also had a very strong influence there.

Geta, your task is to draw the elite from the guards of Dragon City, secretly transfer them to the transport ship, and don't let them be discovered. In addition, I will set off from other ports to help you.

Levi said.

As you order, Lord Admiral.

Gaita said.

This battle is very important. We must find out who is behind the scenes, and we must not let them continue to be so arrogant. Valens, you go to contact those pirates. On the surface, you agree to their request, but only ask for time to raise funds, and they must Prove that he is still alive, and leave the matter to Valens.

Levi said.

Understood, Patriarch.

Valens smiled faintly.

There is a town on a deserted island in the Mediterranean Sea. There is a stone wall outside the town. This is where pirates gather.

In this era, pirates were extremely rampant, with a large number of people, at least more than a hundred thousand, and Lysix was one of the very powerful forces.

Camillus was restless in a dungeon, not thinking about eating or drinking, and he had lost a lot of weight in just half a month.

What he is most worried about is whether Li Wei will pay him the money. You must know that it is 5 million dinars. If it were him, he would never pay it.

Fatty, it's time to eat.

At this moment, the voice of a pirate came over.

Okay, what's for dinner today?

Camillus said flatteringly.

It's still wheat porridge and a piece of black bread. What good meal do you, a prisoner, want to eat?

The pirate said contemptuously,

After speaking, he put a bowl of wheat porridge in front of him.

Camillus had a bitter face, and every day it was either wheat porridge or black bread. This meal was really unpalatable.

By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. Your son-in-law has promised to pay the ransom for you.

said the pirate.

What did you say? It's impossible!

Camillus was shocked. He couldn't believe that Li Wei would pay 5 million dinars for him.

That was five million dinars, enough silver to pile up a hill.

Of course it is true, but they want to prove that you are in our hands, and they also need to prove that you are alive.

said the pirate.

How do I prove it?

You write this passage down, and we will send it to Levi?

Old Tullius died, and young Tullius decided to mourn for a year. What is this?

Camillus said suspiciously.

This is what they asked you to write. If they can recognize your handwriting, they will know that you are still alive.

said the pirate.

All right then.

Camillus thought for a while and said.

If he didn't write, these pirates would never let him go lightly. It's better to be honest and avoid the pain of flesh and blood.

After seeing him write, the pirate took his note to a hall in the center of town.

Lysix was discussing matters with his pirates while enjoying the wine.

So, Li Wei really has a boat going to sea?

Pylos said.

That's right, their goal is Egypt. It is said that after the last time the transport ship was hijacked, the goods there were almost sold out, so they need to replenish quickly.

said one of the pirates.

How much is that shipment worth?

asked Lysix.

It's not clear, but according to their estimates, the market price is at least 300,000 dinars.

said the pirate.

It's no wonder that even Scipio is tempted by the method of making sugar. These things are so profitable. It's worth how much we just rob him.

Said a pirate leader.

At least one million dinars.

Pylos said with a smile.

I'm afraid he's going to cry with heartache.

A pirate leader said with a laugh.

That's right.

Then are we going to grab it?

Of course we're going to rob it. If we don't rob so much money, wouldn't we be fools?

Pylos said.

After speaking, he looked at Lesix, who was at the top. In the final analysis, he still has the final say.

Boss, here's a note from him.

said the pirate.

After receiving the note, Lesix took a look and let the pirate go down.

Since there is an opportunity to make a fortune, of course we cannot refuse.

We did it, said Lysix.

On a pier in Naples, there was a lot of voices.

A slave carried the boxes one by one to the Black Pearl, a large ship with five tiers of oars.

It is said that the name of this ship was given by Li Wei himself. As for why such a strange name was given, no one knows.

It has a copper-skinned ram on its bow and a huge crow drawbridge on board.

The crow suspension bridge is the most classic naval warfare equipment of the Romans. In the first Punic War, the Romans defeated the Carthaginian navy with it.

It is actually a kind of stringing equipment fixed on the bow boom with ropes, and iron nails are installed on it.

When approaching the enemy ship, the Roman soldiers would untie the rope, so that the crow suspension bridge would fall directly on the enemy ship, and the sharp iron nails would be directly nailed to the deck of the enemy ship by using inertia.

Roman soldiers would then land on enemy ships via the Raven Drawbridge, allowing them to turn naval combat into what they do best: hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, the Black Pearl is a battleship, and Li Wei never thought of concealing this. Many of his transport ships are battleships.

Annius bowed his head, hid his head under the wine barrel, and wore a slave collar around his neck, which was a terrible feeling, but fortunately it only had to be endured for a short time.

Cage yelled at the 'slaves', telling them to speed up so as not to miss the time of sailing.

At this moment, a dock official came over with a flattering smile on his face.

Excuse me, is this battleship the Admiral's Black Pearl?
