Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

And if there is a need in the future, they can be immediately recruited as military personnel under him.

It is not difficult to obtain beauty and wealth in Rome, provided that you are strong enough.

As for the fastest channel for advancement for the grassroots class, Gaius Marius has already set the best example.

The best way to copy is to follow the military route.

Those who control the military have the greatest say in this era.

If Ye wanted to take the military route, there was a good opportunity at this moment.

Now, due to the wheel of history, the Alliance War has not yet ended.

The place where the night fell before was where the slave owners said that Rome had suffered defeat after defeat in recent years and that the wars on multiple fronts were the continuous failures of the Alliance War.

An anti-Roman alliance formed by Italian allies centered on the Marsi people.

Because the Marsi people resisted most fiercely among the allies, it is also called the Marsi War.

The uprising started in Oskulen.

Except for the Idallarians and Umbrians, almost all the allies (eight tribes of Roman minions) were involved in the uprising. The uprising spread throughout the Italian peninsula, with the strongest forces in the central and southern parts.

The reason why this war was so intense was not because Rome had weakened or the Italians were too powerful, but mainly because of a very embarrassing issue.

I originally thought it was just a rebellion suppression, but when the fighting started I realized how tragic it was.

Among these allied forces that rebelled against Rome, many soldiers were originally separated from the Roman soldiers.

The two sides were brothers in the same army and were very familiar with each other.

Many enemy generals were originally Roman generals who fled back to their hometowns and raised rebel forces.

They used the same military formations, tactics, and even had similar equipment.

The place where we live is also a place where you are in me and I am in you.

It was called a resistance war, but it was almost a civil war.

In this disgusting battle, even a Roman consul, Lupus, died along with 8,000 Roman soldiers.

Another Roman consul who had also played a brilliant role in this battle could no longer fight and had led his troops back to Rome, thinking hard about how to end this frustrating war.

And this person Ye was also very familiar with, he was Caesar's uncle, Lucius Caesar.

He was familiar with this man not only because he was Gaius Caesar, the uncle of the future Julius Caesar.

At the same time, it was this man who promulgated the "Julius Citizenship Law", which gave the Italians their due citizenship rights and stopped the war.

This was also what Ye had imagined before, the era of obtaining Roman citizenship, which he failed to catch.

certainly--

It turned out that it wasn’t that I missed the train, but that the train hadn’t even started yet.

Even more——

Ye misjudged Caesar's age. When he first mentioned the name Gaius Caesar in front of Harriman, the other party excitedly said that this was his nephew.

Seeing Harriman's old appearance, Ye thought Caesar was an adult now.

But after truly understanding this changed Roman era,

Ye only then realized that Caesar was still in his teens.

Not to mention the future Roman dictator,

Caesar hadn't even become the most basic tribune.

To be more precise, he was still playing in the mud in the family, ahem! This is a bit exaggerated, but Caesar obviously had not started his career at this time and was still in the learning and growth stage.

It was only then that Ye realized that Harriman Julius might have known from the beginning that he and Gaius Caesar did not know each other at all.

After all, Ye, an outsider, had no chance to get to know Caesar, who had not yet left his family to grow up, and become Caesar's friend.

But sometimes smart people don't need to say much,

Instead, they tacitly carry out transactions based on what they need.

Now Ye can only hope that Harriman Julius can give some help and have more say in the Julius family.

If the Julius family could not help him solve the problem of being an illegal resident in Rome,

Let alone wanting to get involved in Rome's military wars and control Rome's military power.

Chapter 50: Excessive fitness may even attract the same sex

Fortunately, if you want to live a good life, night is not the only option.

He also has a simulated universe——!!

As long as you are cowardly enough, sooner or later your individual power will be strong enough to ignore the threats from the country and the world.

Even if he is alone, no one can control his freedom in this era.

Think of a world called the "Demon King", a god-killer who can form an army and a country by himself.

Even if he is alone, no country in the world dares to speak loudly to him.

When it arrives, everyone will bow their heads and line the streets to welcome it. If they want power, many powerful forces will immediately come to them on their own initiative, just to get the protection of the strong and obtain more resources.

The real power comes when you have power within yourself.

certainly--

It doesn’t mean that power and the military are weak.

For ordinary people, if it is a night without a simulated universe, if they want to live well in this era and live better than anyone else, then they must take the military route.

Even when Caesar was young, he was a scholar at first, but later, after witnessing the power of another Roman giant, Pompey, he understood the decisive difference between having soldiers or not, and also understood the charm of the army!

Only by mastering the military power can one truly master Rome! This also led Caesar to abandon civil affairs and pursue military affairs in the future.

Although the simulated universe can become stronger, Ye doesn't mind training a powerful army for his own command.

Do whatever it takes to use the resources at your disposal to become stronger, and never get too proud or stop.

Focus on strengthening individuals through training, supplemented by developing strength, and take both approaches after distinguishing the priorities.

He believed that in this era in Rome, he would soon be able to blend in well and live the 'ordinary' and happy life he wanted.

Mmm - simple happiness!

Especially for people like him who have experienced near-death experiences more than once, they are more greedy for the freedom of living.

Life, life—it’s still life!

Anything that prevents him from living freely is an obstacle on his way forward. Even if the king of gods Zeus stands in his way, I will kill him for you to see!

Apollo, the God of Light, would never have imagined that his favorite hero and blessed warrior would actually be a traitor whose head was filled with all kinds of disrespectful thoughts towards God.

That is, not deliberately disobeying God, but also not loving or respecting God.

Or it could be said that he simply does not have the natural reverence for gods that the ancient Greeks and Romans had.

If Apollo knew that Ye was such a lunatic, I wonder if he would regret it and want to take back his blessing.

By this time, Night had arrived at the slave market.

Perhaps it was because of the continuous defeats in recent years that the Romans had no mood to have fun. Well... unlike the Sahara Desert, at least the nobles in the capital have been much more restrained here.

How can we have the time to have fun if we are worried about losing battles every day...Now no one wants to lead troops to fight, but they have to.

Your family pushes my family, my family pushes your family, and we all despise each other...

Not only the common people are disgusted by the long-lasting war, but the nobles are also...

Such an anxious environment also led to the deserted slave market, with not many people hanging around.

When Ye came here, he was dressed in the finest clothes of the era.

Ye has lost a lot of that exotic charm, and his facial features are more three-dimensional. After changing his look, he looks like a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and won't stand out among people from both the East and the West.

In addition, everyone in ancient Rome had black hair and black eyes, so Ye did not seem too out of place among the Romans at this time. Except for a few careful people, no one would notice Ye's foreign identity at first glance.

When the gatekeeper at the entrance of the slave market saw him, he just thought he was a scion of a noble family.

Although I couldn't help but look at Ye a few more times,

And these few glances are not about how special Ye is, well - they are indeed very special,

Even though Ye had tried his best to blend in with Rome in terms of clothing and other aspects, his handsome face comparable to that of the sun god and his strong chest muscles and slender collarbones that were inadvertently revealed between his collars,

But not bloated, like the golden ratio of the twelve main statues in the Roman Forum,

All of this makes Ye stand out among the crowd, like a crane among chickens, and the most outstanding one.

As we all know, a large part of Rome's clothing and culture was inherited from Greece.

And if you use your imagination a little, you will get an idea of ​​how Ye looks like now, just by looking at how loose and casual Greek clothing is.

It was a perfect figure that even the ladies couldn't move when they saw it.

Exposing only part of the muscles is more attractive than exposing all of them.

Even being too perfect can attract people of the same sex... For example, now -

"Could this be a prince from some country?" The gatekeeper was amazed when he saw Ye Shi and thought so.

It is so unfair that God created such perfect human beings.

How can other ordinary humans survive?

Just seeing such a face would make you feel ashamed.

Even the lover of Venus (Aphrodite), the goddess of love and beauty in mythology,

Anchises (father of the hero Aeneas), the handsome man who made all women crazy, looked just like this!

The existence of the night seemed to not belong to this dirty slave market.

His arrival brings glory to this place.

When I walked into the slave market at night, the gatekeeper hurriedly made way.

The first thing Ye saw when he entered the market was a group of slaves being escorted, wearing small white hats.

This represents that they are prisoners of war, and the white powder smeared on their legs represents that they are still waiting to be sold.

The wooden plaques hung around their necks listed their age, birthplace, skills, and the nicknames given to them by their slave owners.

Good luck——

I originally thought that at this point in time, there would be no good slaves.

On the way, Ye also learned from Harriman about some of the processes regarding the slave trade of that era.

Every morning, slave owners would drive newly trained slaves to the market. Most of the strong slaves were bought early.

The rest either have character problems or are too expensive.

Before entering the market at night, seeing how deserted the market was, I had prepared myself mentally to return empty-handed.

I didn't expect to see prisoners of war coming down from the battlefield as soon as I came in.

These prisoners of war were originally soldiers, and with a little training they can be used as qualified fighters.

Although the status of a prisoner of war always adds a lot of danger,

In comparison, it might be better to buy some strong men with cleaner backgrounds and train them from scratch.

But Ye had his own plans...

These were minor issues, and he was more concerned about whether these warriors were physically strong than that sort of thing.

Whether it is to guard the manor or to participate in wars with him in the future, some young and strong warriors are needed.

But for Ye, efficiency is the most important thing.

He needed some soldiers who were easiest to take up and could do the job right away, rather than farmers who were only good at doing manual labor.

Chapter 51: Thracians are good, but Spartans are better, descendants of Hercules!

Ye glanced around lightly, and the life flames of the soldiers were magnified one by one in his perception.
