Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor - Chapter 35

” Speak , Pompey, that rich  child promised you what benefits. You dared to assassinate me??”

After calming down, Ye Tian asked toward all the Spartan slaves lying on the ground.

“We failed. If you want to kill us, then kill us. There’s nothing to say!”

One of them wiped the blood off his mouth  corners and  said obstinately. But his eyes showed  a little downcast light. They were twenty people, but were actually defeated  by an empty-handed  person  in such a short time.   Although they were locked and the hands were inconveniently moving, but they were the Spartans, the strongest warriors of all.

Whether they were too weak, or the young Patrician in front was too strong.

“At first, I thought all the Spartan men were  really men, but I didn’t expect that they  had such cowards like you guys. You are so easy to knuckle under such a playboy. Do you even have the bloodline from your ancestor?”

Ye Tian sneered.

“Please don’t insult us. We didn’t serve anyone, let alone him, he is just a little kid whose pubic hair hasn’t come out yet!”

Another slave warrior said to Ye Tian in the heat of passion.

“That’s so weird. Before you die, are you still hiding and keeping the secret for him?”

Ye Tian smiled coldly.

“No, you think too much, we are just dying people and don’t want to say more …”

That Spartan slave shook his head and explained.

“Speak!”

Ye Tian said lightly.

“He didn’t promise us anything, just gave us a chance to kill a slaveholder . If we can kill you, we have a chance to run away from Rome. We are just eager to get freedom …”

One of the Spartan slave warriors explained loudly.

“He certainly didn’t tell you that I am also a Patrician, right? You thought, if Pompey wants to kill ordinary citizens, or ordinary Patricians without a strong background, does he need to borrow your hand? Also, do you really think that you can run away from Rome after killing me? After killing me, Pompey will kill you guys for the first time. That in addition to preventing his conspiracy from  leaking, besides, he can also get a military exploit using your head. You are really stupid enough!!! After being sold by a little fart boy, you still help him to count the money. I really don’t know if there is shit in your head … ”

After hearing their explanation, Ye Tian smiled. Were  these Spartan warriors’ minds also filled with muscles? They actually believe that Pompey would  help them escape from Rome.

Sure enough, after questioning by Ye Tian, they all lowered their noble heads, blushing.

“Kill us …”

One of them closed his eyes in shame and said to Ye Tian.

“Kill you, I won’t…”

Ye Tian said indifferently, made all the Spartan slave soldiers freeze in place. Their eyes were filled with incredulity that these young Patricians did not plan to kill them.

Just now, they still wanted to kill him.

“Do you want us to live worse than die?”

One of them asked desperately.

“Isn’t the Spartans strong-willed? Why are you all so pessimistic?”

Ye Tian smiled, these Spartans were really  dead in their brains.

“Reputedly, Spartan warriors believe in the God of War and follow the strong. You don’t allegiance to these greedy slaveholders and arrogant Patricians, I can understand. However I am only one person but defeated all of you guys, do you have any words to give me? ”

Ye Tian said lightly.

“what do you want?”

The Sparta slave soldier asked in a deep voice. Indeed, Ye Tian alone defeated twenty of them , he was indeed a powerful man,  way too much than them. Such a person was indeed worthy of their admiration , At least to win their surrender by  force.

“Loyalty to me, I will not only absolve your indecorum to me, but also absolve your capital crime! After all, you are just used by a little rat.”

Ye Tian said lightly, letting all the Spartan slaves freeze in place.The hostility in their heart slowly disappeared.

Incredible Roman!

This was the only thought in their mind.

“Allegiance to me, I will not let you go to mining, nor will let you to farm, nor will send you to the colosseum , but let you be my warriors! Although you are still the slaves, you still have the hope to get free. You will not fight for Rome, but fight for me, for yourself !! ”

Ye Tian’s voice was deep and forceful.

“Fight for us?”

These Spartan slave warriors were in a little chaos, but they knew they were convinced.

“It’s also fighting for yourself …”

Ye Tian nodded, and then he repeated the policy he had spoken to the first batch of spartan slave warriors, making these current spartan slave warriors imagine  their bright futures.

“Really?”

Their hearts beat furiously and the voice was also trembling a little. As long as they worked hard, they could restore their names and family surnames, even could marry their wives and build their own families. And even their descendants could be free from  the status of slaves.

This was what they didn’ t even dare to think about before.

“True or not, you have to be trying by yourself, besides, there is another group of your countrymen living here very well ……”

Ye Tian said lightly.

“Choose!”

Ye Tian said in a deep voice: “choose an infinite possible future or end your life here immediately!”

“Master!”

“Master!”

…

Not hesitating for long, the twenty Sparta slave soldiers kneeled and greeted respectfully to Ye Tian.

First, using the powerful force impressed them, then using the infinite possibility of the future to lure them. Finally , hitting them with sticks, and then feeding them with sweet dates,how could they even stand up?

Ants still wanted to live if they could choose, let alone humans. As long as they are given dignity and hope, everyone wants to live.

“Open the chain yourself, then come with me to meet with your compatriots!”

Ye Tian said calmly. Seeing their loyalty directly soared to more than sixty, Ye Tian was very satisfied and felt very at ease.

“Thank you, Master ……”

“Thank you, Master ……”

…

The Sparta slave warriors were first stunned, then moved with incomparable gratitude.

This master actually treated them with so much trust  and kindness!

Perhaps this was a master worth their following and loyalty!

With this thought, their loyalty rose again.

Ye Tian’s mouth raised an arc, he was very proud.

The Sparta slave warriors, who had let great nobility bear nothing but headaches and  hated, were actually submitting to him after being beaten by him.

Just thinking about this, Ye Tian felt  proud of himself.
