game rules! They are all made by the strong. Gan Yong's self-confidence not only comes from his confidence in the combat power of his men, but also from his familiarity with the sea routes in this area of ????the Aegean Sea. During several months of dormancy, his voyages traveled almost every corner of this sea area. An island, anywhere pirates might settle down. Hu Zhe and Luan Bu each led their squadrons to detour back to both sides. The main strategy adopted by the Qin army this time was the strategy of splitting and attacking together. However, the real trump card was not the naval battle, but the wrath of thunder. On the Qin Army's ship, teams of the Tianlei Army have been practicing in Troy Port for three months. The Tianlei soldiers who played a decisive role in the land battle, led by their leader Peng Sheng, have basically adapted to the rough waters of the sea. Life. Peng Sheng was the one who invented Sky Fire. Over the years, the leader of Ju Shui Military Manufacturing Co., Ltd. had been studying the power of Sky Thunder with great concentration, and this time, he also came with a new invention. ¡ª¡ª. The sea breeze of Peloponnese is as gentle as the hands of the goddess Athena. For the Greeks who advocate love and freedom, carefree sea sailing is what they yearn for the most. However, it is really sad to be in the chaos of the struggle for hegemony but to be the weakest party to be bullied. The harassment of pirates made Dikar, the leader of the Greek Merchant Alliance, extremely exhausted. Unlike the powerful Qin and Rome, the Greeks were just a loose alliance composed of city-states with different interests. They had nothing but interests between them. Under Macedonian rule, the Greek city-states included the largest city, Athens. Apart from the garrison soldiers responsible for guarding the city, there is no main field force of its own. But now when the merchant ships encountered the threat of pirates and when Philip IV's army no longer existed, the Greeks became panicked. Who can we rely on to protect legitimate maritime trade? The Romans? of course not. Who is behind the skeleton pirates, Dikar knows very well, whether it is Scipio or Crassus, their real purpose is to make the Greeks surrender, but how is this possible? If no Qin people show up. Dikar's choice is naturally certain. After the fall of Macedonia, the Greeks can naturally only become a province of Rome. But now, the conditions offered by the Qin people are more favorable, and from Dikar's perspective , comparing the national power of Qin and Rome. He did not think that Scipio's army could gain the upper hand. The Romans, at most, could only show off their power on their doorstep in the Mediterranean, while the Qin people spanned the entire continent and defeated one opponent after another. Such a comparison. Needless to say which one is more powerful. After being frightened by Aris's misjudgment, Dikar thought so wildly, and as evening approached, he finally couldn't resist his sleepiness anymore. After hurriedly giving instructions to the captain on the ship, he retreated into the cabin. middle. Prepare for a good night's sleep before lying down. He was still thinking that he might be able to land on Crete early tomorrow morning. The proprietor went to rest. As hired crew members, their sense of responsibility has naturally dropped a lot. For them, the most important thing about making a living at sea is not the safety of the cargo, but whether the body can bear it. Although the threat of pirates makes them vigilant, the threat of septicemia is undoubtedly greater in comparison, so necessary rest is indispensable. The crew rested in twos and threes, with only lookout Aris still hanging on the mast. As punishment for his misreading of the situation during the day, he also took over the watch duty this night. Aris was very aggrieved. What happened during the day was really not that he was dazzled, but the blindness caused by not seeing green plants for many days and eating meat all the time. Moreover, they were so far away, and there was no difference between a group of sea kites and a fleet of ships. Late at night. The sea is quiet, except for the rhythmic sound of waves lapping against the side of the ship, and only the roar of unknown giants from the bottom of the sea can be heard from time to time. Aris was sleeping and sleeping, and the hard days on the mast made him miserable. But when he thought about the group of companions with red eyes below, he decided to sneak down quietly. "What's the sound?" Aris was awakened by the sound of "Peng" in the hazy state. When he looked for the sound, what he saw in the darkness made him widen his eyes. One nautical mile away from the merchant ship, a thick black shadow suddenly appeared. In this black shadow, the sound of waves hitting the ship's side was heard from time to time. It was this abnormal echo that made Aris alert. "It's the sea, the pirates are coming, the skeleton thief Grell." Aris shouted desperately, his voice sharply piercing the silent night sky. In the cabin. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡He vaguely heard Aris screaming, which made him very unhappy. If Aris's father hadn't served the Dikar family for many years, he wouldn't have kept this guy who would only cause trouble if he was tired at work. Dikar's fat body rolled over, and he decided to ignore Aris's howling for the time being. This guy was probably staying on the mast for a long time and wanted to come down to rest. "It's true, it's true. The pirate ship is only one nautical mile away from us." Aris's shouts became more and more anxious. Dikar thought so, and naturally other merchant sailors also thought the same. Therefore, even though Aris's throat was about to burst, there was no one on the deck. ¡ª¡ª. Pichus was excited. Among the pirates, he was weak in body, strength, and at a disadvantage in fighting. He was unable to kill his opponents in a follow-up battle compared to other pirates. Therefore, errands such as detecting the enemy's situation, discovering the enemy's traces, and selling stolen goods were his most important tasks. like. This time the big fish is about to be caught! And as the person who discovered the clues, no one can take away the credit. When the spoils are divided, can Picius imagine what he will get? However, the only pity is that Boss Greer insists that these goods can only be sold to the Romans. If he could make the decision himself, both the Carthaginians and the Egyptians would have bid much higher than the Roman merchants. When he thought of the gold coins he had been given, Picius's eyes seemed to be filled with ever-expanding mountains of gold. On the edge of the gold mountains, there was a blond woman with a hot figure and a high ass looking at her charmingly. Hold yourself. "Rima, this 'saohuo' is waiting for me." Pixius swallowed dryly and whispered in his heart. The woman in his imagination was now under the taboo of the boss Greer. However, Picius felt that he also had a chance to get close to this beautiful woman, because one time when he eavesdropped on Greer and Rima's love, he unexpectedly discovered a secret. With a majestic body and a huge thing as big as a ball under his feet, Greer turned out to be an incompetent guy. That night, even though Rima used her upper and lower mouths, she still couldn't wake up Greer's little brother. Under such comparison, Pihouston felt that his capital was too strong. "Pixiu, you bring the small paddle boat up, remember, kill the howling troublesome guy first." Greer's cold voice sounded, making Pihuis wake up from his fantasy. The small oar boat can accommodate three or five people. However, because the boat is small and has light load-bearing capacity, under the vigorous rowing of a few strong pirates, its speed is nearly twice as fast as that of a large ship. "Boss, what if this is a trap? Why not let the big man William lead the people?" Pichuis hesitated and said anxiously. It would be an insult to his intelligence to take risks like this and let him, who has a smart mind and has the reputation of being the wisest among pirates, carry out such a thing. "William, he has his mission, Pichus, you won't let me hope, right?" Greer raised the sharp blade in his hand and shouted. This thin man has made him very unhappy recently. In addition to showing off his clever mind from time to time, he also spreads rumors among the pirates that Grell is not a man. This is really abominable. Pixius bowed his head helplessly and followed the order. In the face of powerful violent weapons, his little cleverness was of no use. Fortunately, the guy on the merchant ship opposite who kept howling seemed to have lost much strength. Moreover, this period of desperate shouting did not seem to let him down. The people on the merchant ship were alert.
