Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Could the strongest oppressor he was talking about be himself?

In the battle of strength and words, Spartacus inevitably saw a hint of Ye's ambition. If it was the lies told to the ruling class in the past, he would not believe a word of it.

But if the other party really reaches the strongest position, will the world he talks about come true?

Spartacus didn't know. He hesitated again and again, and finally decided to follow his original plan.

Don't think about things you can't figure out, just do what you can now.

for example--

Save your compatriots.

However, not long after Ye left, Crassus came and expressed his intention to give Spartacus away, which soon made Spartacus feel the way fate played tricks on people.

Even though he said he didn't want to leave, Crassus's attitude was very tough and he didn't allow him to refuse.

When you put yourself in the position of a weak person and can only be manipulated by others and move forward according to the plans set by others, disrupting all your original plans, this once again forces Spartacus to speed up his actions.

at the same time--

On the other hand, I know that I have to take my time to conquer a man like Spartacus. That man has a very strong will and his own views on the world. He is not so easy to conquer.

But even if he cannot be conquered, after today's meeting, Ye believes that his words can leave a little seed in Spartacus' heart, and that is enough.

In the future, Spartacus will be a great help in completely integrating the voices within Rome.

Sometimes, it is foolish to suppress all voices of resistance by yourself.

This will only push oneself to the opposite side of everyone. Even if one has invincible power, he can only be a lonely tyrant at best. Such a person can be a general, but is not suitable to be a king.

Just like the Romanian King Impaler who used his own strength to defend his country, in the end it was the people he had protected with his own strength who betrayed him.

The people feared the brutality of his power and regarded Piercing the Rainforest as a symbol of the devil's power.

But they ignore that it is that brutal force that guards their land.

Chapter 167: Fighting Evil with a Dragon; Marius: Listen to me, thank you

The so-called keeping the enemy in check is self-respecting.

If there were no more criminals in the world, what would the police be for?

Sometimes rebel forces like Spartacus are very necessary for Ye.

However, the identities of the two have to be slightly swapped. To Ye, the truly corrupt and dirty old guys who are leaning over Rome in his eyes are the senators, the highest level of the country.

If he did not follow the official line, he would be happy to side with Spartacus and, based on slaves and the masses, start a new flame on the Roman land.

But now that he has come, he is ready to accept this barbaric Roman Republic with imperfect systems in all aspects.

Then let Spartacus help you clean up some of the termites that are difficult to clean up obviously.

Even in the future, the storm of liberation led by Spartacus will sweep across France, Britain and other regions...

At that time, Ye could even take over these lands legitimately in the name of saving these countries.

No, that's too evil.

Even he himself couldn't bear to watch it. But Ye didn't deceive Spartacus. If he had the chance, he would build a more stable and peaceful country instead of the chaotic and disordered world like now.

After that, Ye began to select the slaves he wanted in this special arena.

That night, I presented my budget——

He said he had twenty talents (thanks to the Pompey family for giving him more money!). Money was not a problem. He just wanted high-quality gladiator fighters, the more the better.

The temporary person in charge of the Colosseum was excited at the time. This business was too big for him to make the decision, so he invited Crassus, who had just sent away Marius.

Including Gnaeus Pompey and Caesar the Younger before, Ye finally had contact with the future three giants of Rome.

When Crassus welcomed the night with a smile -

And sincerely call him a friend.

Crassus: “My dear friend, I have learned your order from my men.

What kind of slaves do you want?

Don't worry, I, Crassus, can guarantee you that we have everything you need! You will definitely be satisfied!"

Ye: "I want a group of powerful Spartan warriors. If possible, it would be better to have some strong female gladiators."

Crassus: “No problem.

I even have female Spartans here!"

For the sake of twenty talents, even Crassus did not often have such big business. If the other party could bring him a lot of wealth, he would do it even if he asked him to worship Night as one of the twelve main gods.

Although Crassus had previously expressed his intention to send Marius a batch of Spartan warriors, it was naturally impossible for him to pick out all the stock. Even if Ye's order was big enough, it wouldn't matter if he gave Marius two fewer.

Anyway, Lord Marius only really cares about Spartacus, and the other warriors are just extras.

(Marius: Thank you!)

Night: "Are there any female Spartans?"

Ye was a little surprised and felt as if his eyes brightened.

The fertility rate of Spartan warriors was not high, or in other words, most of their children might not survive safely and grow up to adulthood.

Even the most basic historical records about how the Spartan warriors trained their own people show that when the children grew up and had a certain degree of mobility, they would be sent to the mountains to survive in the wilderness.

They even have to spend the entire winter outside fighting with wild wolves.

Only this kind of test of blood and fire can give birth to truly powerful warriors. There are not many men, let alone women, who can survive this kind of hellish intensity, and there are even fewer female Spartan warriors.

Crassus said that the price of female Spartans was more than three times that.

Ye readily agreed and did not bargain.

Scarcity makes things valuable——

Anyway, you don’t have to pay for it yourself.

Seeing that Ye was so straightforward, Crassus directly told Ye about his inventory -

In addition to the group of warriors that he originally wanted to give to Marius, Crassus still had fifty male Spartan warriors and twelve female Spartan warriors.

Hearing this number, Ye's eyelids twitched. He even suspected that he had sent people to Sparta to plunder the local tribal population.

The Battle of Thermopylae only gathered 300 warriors, but you have one-fifth of the population.

Ye said he wanted them all...

This made Crassus' attitude even more enthusiastic.

Crassus: "My friend, I actually have more than 20 Spartan warriors, but they were originally reserved.

If you are willing to pay three times the price, I will sell you ten more."

Ye: "I can pay five times as much... I'll take all the remaining twenty or so."

Crassus: ...!

This is a real rich man!

Suddenly Crassus' breathing became rapid.

Although the slave money doesn't add up to much, which merchant can resist this five-fold profit? !

It is still a normal transaction without any risk.

If you don’t take the huge pie in front of you, you are a bastard.

Damn——!

Crassus: "Okay! Then I'll give it all to you, my dear friend!"

At this time, Crassus had forgotten about Marius.

I'll find an excuse to prevaricate later. Anyway, since Spartacus has made an investment, the minister still has to be grateful to me.

At that time, I will say that all the Spartan slaves have fled in rebellion! But I still have equally powerful Thracian warriors under my command. Looking at the strength of Spartacus, there is no need to say more about the excellence of the Thracian warriors, right?

When the time comes, he believes that the elder will understand his "sincerity" and "helplessness".

however--

When he saw that Ye didn't even blink, he agreed.

Crassus suddenly felt like he had suffered a loss!

Damn, with such amazing money power, it seems that the price can still be raised? If I had known earlier, I would have tried to bid ten times the price.

Usually it was Crassus who used his money to bully others, but this time he actually met a rich man who didn't even take money seriously.

This is probably how the king of ancient Babylon spent his money lavishly.

Ye: "In addition to Spartan warriors, I also want Thracian warriors. No matter how many you have, I'll take them all!"

Crassus' heart suddenly skipped a beat...

Um, the Thracians want it too?

Crassus, who had just prepared himself to send more Thracian warriors to Marius as compensation, quickly put the idea aside.

If you don't do business when you have it, you are a bastard...! Especially when the profit is doubled!

Crassus: "Well... I do have quite a few Thracian warriors here, but..."

Ye frowned slightly: "Also booked?"

Ye was somewhat dissatisfied, and even suspected that Crassus wanted to cheat him because he was rich. Although the money was cheated from Pompey, it was not so easy to get.

If Listaya dares to take it, do you, Crassus, dare to take it too?

Chapter 168 Crassus takes the blame: Is Sulla going to kill me? !

There is certainly no shortage of slave warriors among the Roman nobles now. Even if there is an occasional need, there will not be such a large demand for fresh blood replenishment.

I haven't heard of any nobles of the Na family sending private soldiers to suppress bandits. He is the only one in the whole of Rome who needs a large number of soldiers.

Or was it that the Senate already ruled Crassus and was deliberately blocking him?

No one would be stupid enough to restrict his growth in this way.

A dangerous thought flashed through Ye's mind.

His real strength does not come from these so-called private soldiers.

If there really is an elder who is restless, he will teach him a lesson on how dignity is built on the edge of a blade.

When he felt dissatisfied that night, the dangerous aura that was faintly emanating from him was like a flood or a beast. The huge sense of oppression made Crassus' face change.

Crassus came to his senses a little and put away some of his greed.

He said, “I’m not lying to you, this group of warriors and the previous Spartan warriors were originally from a certain big shot in the Senate.

I just gave you all the Spartans.

Now we can only get more Thracian warriors to make up the number.

If you don't care so much about the gladiator's bloodline and origin, I actually have many ordinary gladiators with good fighting ability under my command.

Ten in a set, if you buy more, five or more, I can give you a discount."

Sincerity is a secret weapon. Crassus clearly knows what attitude to adopt when facing different types of guests in order to leave the best impression and create continuous wealth for the future.

His attitude was very sincere.

Even with Ye's powerful perception, there was no hint of lies in the other party's tone.

If it wasn't intentional, forget it...

Ye: "One and a half times the price - Thracian warriors, I'll take as many as you can."

This time, Ye did not ask for an exorbitant price. After all, the Spartan warriors still had a trace of Hercules blood in their bodies. In Ye's eyes, they were warriors with great training value. In addition, Spartans were rare...

Not to mention three or five times, he would still want it even if the price was ten, twenty or a hundred times!

certainly--
