Night's gaze swept over the warriors, and in his perception, the life force of the soldiers was magnified one by one.
However, after checking for some time, he was slightly disappointed
Although these warriors were much stronger than ordinary people, their physical fitness couldn't compare to the elite soldiers from the Trojan War.
He couldn't tell if this was due to the decline of the divine era or if humans in this world were simply not as strong as those in the Greek universe.
Ultimately, Night had to pick the best among the average, focusing on the most outstanding ones.
At this moment, the slave trader standing next to the slaves noticed Night's impressive appearance and demeanor.
His eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically approached, rubbing his hands as he introduced himself:
.....
"Respected patron, these are freshly captured Italian soldiers from the Social War.
Many of them were originally Roman soldiers, and their capabilities are guaranteed.
They are perfect for guarding your estate and you won't regret buying them!
Do you see any you like?
Of course—
Because they are newly captured soldiers, they can follow orders but still have rebellious personalities.
For someone of your stature, I recommend stepping aside with me. I have even better slaves who are more obedient.
Not only soldiers, but also many young and beautiful girls who are definitely worth purchasing, though they may be a bit more expensive."
....
In Rome, as a slave trader, you might lack many things, but you must have a keen eye.
Offend a noble, and you might not even know how you died.
Conversely, if you please these wealthy lords, they will spend lavishly.
At this moment, in the slave trader's eyes, Night's extraordinary aura made him appear immensely noble.
Hearing the slave trader's words, the latter frowned and asked, "I need physically strong ones.
A bit rebellious is fine.
Do you have stronger slaves?"
The slave trader confidently responded, "No problem. I have many Greek and Thracian captives from earlier battles.
You will definitely be satisfied!!"
Greeks and Thracians?
Speaking of Thracians, Night couldn't help but think of that arena warrior, a fierce man like a wild beast—Spartacus.
That famous cry: "Better to die for freedom on the battlefield than to die for the amusement of nobles in the arena," echoed the sentiments of slaves who saw him as a hero.
Thracians were indeed formidable, but their strength made them difficult to tame.
They were inherently proud, but Night was confident in intimidating them.
These warriors, who respected strength, might not revere those pampered nobles who couldn't tell grain from chaff or carry a load, but they respected powerful individuals.
And his strength, to these ordinary people, was almost epoch-making.
Moreover, he wasn't buying these warriors to use as slaves or for gladiatorial combat to entertain nobles, and he wouldn't insult their dignity.
He was buying warriors to cultivate his own forces.
In fact, compared to soldiers with Roman citizenship, these slaves, as private property, would be more obedient as long as you were strong enough to suppress everything.
Not to mention, in Night's domain, demeaning practices weren't popular.
Calling them slaves was more akin to considering them subordinates or family private soldiers.
Being chosen by him was undoubtedly a fortunate event.
Soon, under the slave trader's guidance, Night was led deeper into the slave market, where the environment was noticeably better than the chaotic entrance.
Night briefly glanced around and saw many neatly dressed, beautiful young girls.
Each one had fair, tender skin.
Their swan-like necks, whether blonde, platinum blonde, black-haired, or red-haired, were all long and slender, with prominent curves, making them stunning beauties.
Their ages ranged from young girls to mature women.
Their legs were marked with white powder, indicating they were still for sale.
Compared to the poorly clothed warrior slaves at the entrance, these beautiful girls were well-dressed and protected.
Clearly, the quality here was much higher, favored by nobles and wealthy patrons.
To better entice these wealthy customers, the slave traders provided meticulous service, ensuring the slaves were not physically mistreated before being sold.
However, Night's gaze only flickered with amazement before he moved on.
Although the beauties of ancient Rome were quite stunning, after witnessing the transcendent beauty of the Black Tower (Herta), Night's standards had risen significantly.
And First, he needed to focus on the slave warriors.
If he had money left over later, he could buy a few beautiful girls to serve him.
However, he didn't place much importance on women.
If he wanted to experience pleasure, there were plenty of beautiful nymphs, goddesses, princesses, and noblewomen in Greek mythology.
And as long as he possessed power and strength comparable to heroes, he could have any beauty he desired.
The Greek universe was full of beauties willing to offer themselves ti the heroes...
Everyone despised the disgraceful and thuggish behaviors of heroes, their habit of throwing wild parties and abandoning their conquests, yet everyone envied heroes and wanted to become one.
Night did not reject his various desires.
But even if he ever wanted to become a hero, he wouldn't indulge himself like Zeus or Poseidon, who had no basic taste and would take anything...
Even cows, horses, and sheep weren't spared.
Such main gods, whose minds were full of lust, were essentially beasts enslaved by their desires.
And those heroes who threw wild parties wherever they went.
It was said that even Heracles, the hero of heroes in Greece, had a record of being with 49 women in a row.
Heracles' heroic character was relatively well-regarded in Greece.
But he still followed the era's passion, and under the matchmaking of an old king he rescued, he was paired with the king's daughters,
Yes—'daughters.'
He spent nine months with fifty princesses of a country, doing nothing but indulging in pleasure daily.
Except for one shy princess, all of them became pregnant and bore him sons.
Two of them even gave birth to twins, resulting in a total of 51 boys.
It is said that these were the ancestors of the Spartans.
Compared to the Thracians and ordinary Greeks, Night actually preferred the Spartans.
In a mythical world like this, Spartans, who held off tens of thousands of Persian troops for several days and nights with just 300 men, might indeed carry the bloodline of Heracles.
The descendant of the mighty hero.
Which leader wouldn't covet such warriors and subordinates?
