Roman Slave Owner

He not only brought the newly recruited 1,000 guards, but also the guards from Capua and the private forces of some Capua nobles and knights. These nobles and knights were very happy to help Li Wei at this time.

With their concerted efforts, those pirates were defeated steadily.

Soon a pirate leader returned here with a look of embarrassment.

"Boss, they are too powerful, we are not opponents."

The two looked at him speechlessly, forget it, they shouldn't be counted on.

"Notify everyone to evacuate."

Lesix sighed and said, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity to obtain the steel sword formula after this retreat.

After receiving Lysix's order, the mercenaries withdrew immediately, joined the other pirates, and retreated outside the city.

The inner city was full of cheers at first, but soon there were loud cries.

"Bastards! What a bunch of bastards!"

In the Vatican, Li Wei couldn't help being furious after learning the news that Dragon City was attacked.

A group of pirates dared to sneak attack on Dragon City, and they almost succeeded, which made Li Wei so angry that he couldn't restrain himself.

What made him even more angry was that Naples had also joined the rebellion, and it was obvious that the nobles in exile had also intervened.

"Let Annius call a meeting of the Senate, and hope that the Senate will allow me to return to assist Dragon City and form an army of six legions. The current situation has reached a very dangerous point."

Li Wei said that he remembered that the Radar Rebellion did not seem to be so severe in history.

"I see."

said Lucias.

"By the way, inform the church, my sharecroppers and veterans that I need their support. Let them arm themselves as quickly as possible, and all losses will be borne by me."

Levi said.

"Yes, sir."

That night, the Roman Gazette went all out to print and spread the word.

"Naples rebelled, tens of thousands of pirates ravaged the Campania region, and Campania was corrupted."

"Shocked! Lepidus actually colluded with pirates. This is a disgrace to Rome."

"Whether there will be another massacre after Lepidus captures Rome, let this newspaper analyze it for you."

"Li Wei hopes that the Senate will allow him to return to Campania and form six Roman legions."

"..."

As the most powerful weapon of public opinion under Li Wei, the "Roman Daily" once again played a major role.

There was a panic in the city of Rome, and people rushed to buy the "Roman Daily", hoping to understand the situation of the outside world.

Housing prices in Rome plummeted again, and Li Wei was even in the mood to quietly buy real estate.

As for Pompey losing to Lepidus? How can this be.

After buying a copy of the "Roman Daily", Luculus' heart was very heavy. He just took a few glances and walked towards the Temple of Jupiter on Mount Capitol.

Annius has called a senate assembly, and he must hurry there.

The elders of the Roman Senate are generally not allowed to leave Rome,

In this way, they can rush to the scene as soon as possible to hold a meeting.

The address of the meeting of the Roman Senate is not fixed, sometimes in temples and synagogues in the city, such as the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of the Mother Earth, the Temple of Pollux, the Cornelia Synagogue or the Yugoslavia. Leah Hall, etc.

Sometimes it will be outside the city, but if it is outside the city, it cannot exceed the border of Rome, such as Bellona and the Temple of Apollo.

Here they generally received foreign envoys who did not want them to enter Rome or discussed requests for a triumphal ceremony.

Before long, he came to the Temple of Jupiter.

At this time, many elders had already arrived in the temple, and some of them also held the "Roman Daily" in their hands, making excited voices from time to time.

Seeing Lukulus coming, several elders came over.

Since Sulla appointed Luculus as the guardian of his children, Luculus tried his best and finally managed to attract some elders to surround him, forming a small group.

But more people, such as Li Wei, Carat, and Pompeo, didn't take him seriously at all.

Lucullus had only been Sulla's financial officer. Although the logistics were done well and he had raised a large number of warships for Sulla, he was young and lacked prestige, and the Senate was the most particular about seniority.

Seeing them whispering, Crassus rolled his eyes and surrounded them.

"Luculus, are you going to agree to Li Wei's request?"

Crassus asked.

"Of course, Dragon City was attacked and Naples rebelled. Li Wei has no intention of dealing with Lepidus. It's better to go back and eliminate the Naples rebels."

Luculus said.

"I think he should take some lieutenants from us, what do you think?"

Crassus said.

After hearing his words, Lukulus was moved. Pirates are a free honor, and no one thinks too much honor.

So he said, "It really should be done."

"I think we should negotiate terms with Serabio."

Crassus said with a smile.

Luculus hesitated, then nodded, and they walked in the direction of Serapio.

By this time he was in conversation with some of the senators, and Serabio's influence in the senate was growing, depending on the expansion of Marcian's lending business.

Forced by various temptations or threats, they had to agree to Li Wei's conditions, but there were still some veterans who did not buy Li Wei's account at all, so Serabio had to exchange for their support through various exchanges.

"Serapio, Luculus and I have something to talk to you about."

Crassus said with a smile.

"What's up?"

Serapio asked suspiciously.

"We can support Levi's proposal, but I hope Levi will choose me and Lucullus as lieutenants."

Crassus said.

"This... Aren't we friends? What conditions do we have to talk about?"

Serapio said dissatisfied.

"Come on less, return the public to the public, and return the private to the private. Who will do things that are not beneficial. You can just say yes or no."

Crassus sneered.

Serabio sighed helplessly, and originally wanted to cheat Crassus, but he didn't expect Crassus to be fooled at all.

"How many people can you get me?"

Serapio asked.

"If there are more than 130 people, but some people are not here, there must be more than 100 people."

Crassus said proudly.

Serabio and Luculus both looked at him in shock. They didn't expect Crassus to develop such a powerful force in the Senate without making a sound. It was really shocking.

Crassus smiled triumphantly. He knew that the number of elders he had mastered was not as good as Li Wei, but who else could match him except Li Wei.

Serapio gave him a deep look, and then said to Luculus, "What about you?"

"This... 12."

Luculus blushed a little and said.

Compared with Li Wei and Crassus, this number simply makes him feel ashamed.

Serabio didn't laugh at him, and being able to win over 12 veterans is pretty good.

There was a faint sneer at the corner of Crassus's mouth, but the sneer disappeared quickly.
