Neoptrimos was placed under house arrest, and the other naval officers were kept separately. Anaxaxos kept an eye on them, and had been without food for three days.

Fallen to the ground is a qualified navy, and there is no one who can't survive because of hunger. The other sailors also knew that the situation was not good, but they lost their backbone and had to wait. Moreover, on land, the sailors could not compete with the land forces of the Northern Legion.

The funniest part is in the dark cell, where every evening the lights are dimmed, and the glamorous-looking and hot-bodied dancers will do a striptease for them. Through the prison fence, these hungry people drooled, and they were dull and boring all day long, and finally there was such a "view", who would refuse?

In the darkness of despair, the basic survival and desire of human beings are very prominent. Anaxaxosos exploited the weaknesses of human nature effectively.

On the evening of the fourth day, each of the dancers led a naval officer out of the prison and into a warm, bright and comfortable room. There was food and drink in it, and there were beautiful women to serve.

The sailors, whose eyes were green with hunger, ate and drank heavily, and they didn't care where their comrades were at this time.

After a full meal and wine, the longed-for beauty of "the one" took a bath and went to bed.

The admirals were overjoyed, and they were all hungry and thirsty for the heavenly pleasures that followed the prison disaster. After all, Neop Trimos is also a normal person with seven emotions and six desires.

After daybreak, they were released. And they were taken together to the port of London, ready to return. Some people are still immersed in the brilliant spring light, and even a little reluctant.

Arriving at the port, all the soldiers of the Aegean Fleet were assembled and on standby. Anaxaxos is holding a send-off ceremony for them. Neoptrimos and the officers around him looked dazed, unable to comprehend the progress of the matter at all.

"General Anaxaxos, this ......

"Needless to say, General Neoptrimos.

Since I can't keep you, I'll have no choice but to send your fleet home.

Take me to say hello to Brother Wang, and tell him that everything is going well here at the old man's house, don't worry.

I had discussed with your soldiers:

Personally, I will pay you twice as much as you would have paid you as a Navy instructor for a year to help us train new recruits in the Northern Theater.

But you're so mean. ”

The sailors showed a clear change in mood, and there were bursts of boos. Neo Primus didn't react.

He went on to say:

"Since you are unkind, then it is inconvenient for me to keep it. It's just that I can't let you take away the British girl you have suffered these days. But. ”

He paused deliberately,

"There is a rule in Britain:

If the British girl who has lost her body has no one to want, she must be executed! You have defiled these pure maidens, and you have abandoned them on the island.

Even if I am a Macedonian, I have to follow the local customs and follow the rules of the locals.

I think you have done your own sins at least to see the whole process with your own eyes. ”

With that, with a wave of his hand, the guards led the group of women to the shore.

"Let's go."

Anaxaxosus was clearly merciless, and did not give anyone room for reaction. The guards went up and tore the women's clothes.

The British crowd of onlookers screamed as if to cheer. This makes the event seem more plausible.

In fact, there is no way to know whether there is such a rule among the British people, they are just watching the fun.

"Shhh Boom~"

Tattered clothes, snow-white flesh, the cries and pleadings of weak women.

This scene is in stark contrast to the solemn farewell ceremony of the Navy officers and sailors.

The officers who have had a skin-to-skin relationship saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. These men saw their women in tears, but they were powerless to resist. There is a strong desire to protect in my heart.

"Stop!"

All eyes were on the source of the sound, which was Neoptrimos.

"Anaxaxos, if you want to achieve your goal, you don't have to play with your life like this."

"Huh~?

Neoptrimos, you have to pay attention to the evidence when you speak. It's no one else who is playing with human life now, it's yourself.

Do you want me to point out your mistress among them?

The weak woman who didn't even want her life for your love, she didn't betray you, and you ruthlessly abandoned her, whether she lived or died. ”

"Enough, Prince Anaxaxos.

After much consideration, I decided to stay and help you build your new navy. ”

"Huh? Good news, the execution continues. ”

"Why?"

"These girls who have lost their virginity have no one to want, according to ......

"Plop."

Neoptrimos knelt in front of Anaxachos and said:

"Lord Anaxaxos, I pity and sympathize with the plight of these girls, may I ask for their lives?"

Anaxaxosus deliberately turned his back to Neoptrimos and spoke arrogantly:

"Good. These girls are left to you to dispose of them, and you can distribute them however you want. You are their savior.

When it comes to hiring for a year, that's one year, and the salary is doubled. Remember, you are my mercenary fleet. ”

The moment Anaxaxosus turned around, his expression was still smug, and his eyes were sinister and cunning, full of evil.

This staring at each other sent a chill down the spine of the honest Neoptrimus. His gaze suddenly became hollow and blank.

"Remember, master. You are my employer for one year from now on. ”

Anaxaxosus got his wish and received a powerful mercenary navy. Of course, he did not forget to ask Rome for instructions.

His nephew, Podare Ríos, who was far away in the Roman Palace, did not understand what was going on here. When he received the letter, which was full of reasons and excuses for Britain's need for sea power, he only subconsciously said: "." The old fox is back on the Aegean Fleet. I don't have time to pay attention to him. ”

The application for a postponement of the fleet's return was immediately agreed.

Now, Podarre Rios is busier with his official duties, and he is immersed in constructing a new battle plan. There was a momentum of war in the East, and the eastern defense line of the kingdom was passive and lacked offensive. This means that Podare Rios needs to form a new corps and a new fleet.

The upstart of the East, the Pontus Kingdom has recovered from the battle for hegemony and has become ambitious. On the opposite shore of Byzantium: on the edge of Asia Minor, they deployed more and more troops, and their navy began to sail frequently in the Hellespont, which was a red flag.

At this time, Byzantium was still in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Podarre Rios immediately increased the combat readiness of the entire region, and began to deploy high-end troops here without interruption to build the backbone framework of the new legion. His Byzantine fleet had already been launched for cruise, all of which were new warships.

The flames of war in the Far East have been ignited, and he is ready to continue to support them.

You know, at the same time as these new developments emerged, the kingdom was also engaged in all-out warfare with Carthage in North Africa and the Mediterranean.
