Roman Slave Owner

The passer-by asked him if he wanted to make a fortune and live a life of a master.

Of course he agreed without hesitation, and then followed the man away.

Until now, he doesn't know who he is working for. The task he received is to study hard, enrich himself, and get close to Caesar at the same time.

Then he made his fortune completely, he got a lot of money, and the business went well.

But he knew that these were all illusions, these were all orders made to him by the force represented by the passer-by.

This made him even more in awe of that force. Although he didn't know why they let him approach Caesar, he still faithfully carried out the task.

Only when you have been poor can you know the value of life now, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to complete this task.

He took out a small slip of paper, wrote something, put it carefully in a purse, and left the house.

When he came to an unremarkable grain store, the owner of that grain store's eyes lit up after seeing him.

"Hello, dear Mr. Aetius, you are here again."

"Yeah, I want to buy a can of wheat. If you find someone to bring this can to my house, you won't have to look for the money."

said Aetius, pointing to an amphora, and tossed him the purse.

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to deliver it to you right away."

The boss's eyes were narrowed with a smile, and he put the money bag into his own pocket calmly.

It didn't take long for the note to reach Makian's hands.

"Caesar wants to join the army. If you want to get close to him, should you join the army too?"

Seeing this, Marcian became thoughtful.

If you want to get close to Caesar, I am afraid that this position cannot be low, otherwise you may be looked down upon by Caesar.

But this is a trivial matter, as long as you can find Li Wei to solve it.

Inside Rome, Pompey offered a sacrifice at the Temple of Jupiter, followed by divination.

Since the Senate assigned Pompey four legions, Pompey led the army first.

Wearing a bright red cloak, Pompey looked full of vigor, full of confidence in the future.

Only Li Wei understood what a difficult battle he was facing.

The expedition of the Roman army was quite complicated, not only to offer sacrifices to the gods, but also to divination.

A soothsayer sprinkled some grain on the ground and released a large rooster that had been starving for days.

The fortune teller stared at the big rooster closely, and the word "eat fast" was almost written all over his face.

The big cock saw the grain in front of him, and immediately started to eat it happily.

"Good luck! You can go to war!"

The fortune teller immediately shouted loudly, and Pompey and others were relieved.

This is the divination ceremony of the Roman expedition. Only when the big rooster eats the food is it auspicious.

In order to ensure good omens, fortune tellers often starve the big rooster for several days.

But even so, sometimes things go wrong.

This fortune-teller will follow Pompey on the expedition. Theoretically, every time the main general goes to battle, the main general will ask about the luck, but some generals do not believe this, such as Luculus.

"Take care this time, Sertorius is not easy to deal with."

Li Wei said to Pompey.

"I know, I used to joke that he was a famous general, but now it seems that he is really extraordinary."

Pompeo said.

Li Wei secretly pointed his middle finger, it seems that he really made fun of him a lot back then.

"You have to be careful, the Mediterranean Sea is so big, pirates are not so easy to destroy."

Pompeo said.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind."

Levi said.

The two embraced lightly, and then Pompey led the soldiers out of here.

"Patriarch, why didn't you choose me as the lieutenant general, I also want to fight for Rome."

After Pompeo left, Serapio complained.

The Senate authorized Li Wei to select 16 lieutenants from among the elders. Li Wei gave some to his old subordinates and some to his allies, but he did not choose Serapio.

For this reason, he felt very wronged, and he, Serabio, also had the idea of ​​fighting for the country and honoring his ancestors.

Li Wei looked at him with contempt, "Have you ever fought a war?"

"This... this... just follow you. A group of pirates, can't you beat them?"

Serabio said.

His words attracted a group of eyes around him, and he really came here with the intention of messing around with the military.

Seeing the disdainful eyes around him, Serabio said indignantly, "Actually, I have studied military affairs hard these days, and I have quite a lot of experience in leading troops to fight."

"Then I will test you. Guess how long it will take me to wipe out the pirates. If you guess correctly, I will definitely take you with me next time I go out."

Levi said.

"this one……"

Serapio's eyes rolled, this time it won't work, but next time it's okay to follow the army.

"Two years, I guess two years will kill the pirates."

Serabio said.

As for how long it will take to eradicate pirates, both the Senate and the people are arguing a lot.

The Mediterranean Sea is really too big, and the pirates are too mobile. They think that it will take a very long time to wipe out the pirates, so they gave three years to wipe out the pirates.

Moreover, the position of former consul granted to Li Wei can have twelve guards.

In addition, he can also appoint his deputy to be a former officer, and those former officers of honor are equivalent to officers, and can have 6 guards.

"What about you? How long do you think it will take me to destroy the pirates?"

Li Wei asked those veterans.

"I guess a year."

"A year and a half."

"..."

Although they spent less time talking than Serabio, Li Wei guessed that this may not necessarily be what they said from the bottom of their hearts, and it was more flattering.

But it's a pity that all their flattery was shot on the horse's legs.

"Let me tell you, it will definitely not exceed half a year."

Levi said.

Those elders couldn't help but look at each other, this is unlikely.

The Mediterranean Sea is so big, even if 12 legions are scattered in the Mediterranean Sea, it is not enough to see. Pirates are not so easy to destroy.

"I know you don't believe it, and think I'm talking big. Now let me tell you a word, the truth will always be in the hands of a few."

Levi said.

"Yes, of course I do."

"I believe that the Patriarch will be able to wipe out the pirates within four months."

"..."

Seeing their insincere expressions, Li Wei smiled, not bothering with them.

"Serabio, I need you to help me keep an eye on those who oppose me in Rome, and don't let them make trouble. Besides, isn't this attacking Bisignia?"

Levi said.

Bissinia is located near the Bosporus Strait in what is now Turkey, where the king and Caesar got together.

The king died recently, and after his death, he dedicated Bissinia to Rome, making it a province of Rome, but unexpectedly, King Pontus suddenly sent troops to attack Bissinia.

"Yes."

Serabio said.

"You encouraged the Senate to let me recover Bissinia after destroying the pirates. It is best to leave the power of continuing to fight to me."

Levi said.

"..."
