"Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Vassal Tribes"

I see clearly that all of us who are alive are nothing but empty shadows, empty dreams. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

- Sophocles (Athenian, one of the three great Athenian tragic writers)

Although Bai Feng's words have always emphasized that the people of Rome are different from people in other civilized worlds, Gamilios will not easily believe people in the civilized world, after all, this is a tragic lesson that countless barbarians have exchanged for blood and tears.

As if sensing Gamilios's questioning, looking at the leader of Gamilios who was reluctant to answer, Bai Feng once again explained to the leader of Gamilios in his sincere tone:

"Leader of Gamelios, you Tasya tribe can consider whether or not to accept it after I have put forward the conditions, and if you Tasya tribe really think that the conditions of our Roman city are too harsh, then we can talk about it again. ”

Gamilios, the leader of the Tasia tribe, did not agree after Bai Feng said this, he still had a struggling expression on his face, and it was not until Bai Feng was a little impatient that he made up his mind and asked Bai Feng:

"Your Excellency Bai Feng, it's not that I don't want to hear what your conditions are, but how do I know that you will definitely abide by the conditions you have proposed?

As is customary for you civilized people, you will always put forward conditions that are easily acceptable to us, and when we have accepted your terms, you will launch a surprise attack against us in violation of the peace treaty.

Such a bloody lesson has been too much for us, and countless of our allies have given up their resistance under so-called favorable conditions, only to end up in slavery or slaughter in the civilized world.

It's not that we don't want to give our tribe a glimmer of life, but we really don't know whether this is a survival or a path to destruction, how can you be sure that you will abide by the treaty, Your Excellency Bai Feng?"

Well, even under the threat of war from White Peak, these barbarians were still unwilling to accept the peaceful conditions of Rome City, and perhaps they could not blame the barbarians of the Tassia tribe for being too cautious, or they could only blame the Celestial Dragon Empire for going too far.

To be sure, if Bai Feng himself was in the situation of the Tasya tribe, he would not dare to trust the enemy's conditions under any circumstances, but Bai Feng still wanted to use peaceful means as much as possible to solve the problem of the Tasya tribe.

Therefore, he could only continue to patiently explain to the hesitant Gamilios:

"Leader Gamelios, we in Rome have nothing to prove that we will abide by the treaty, but I can use the treaty to ensure that the independence of your Tasya tribe will not be interfered with in any way!"

Seeing that Gamilios was about to refute himself again, Bai Feng directly reached out to stop Gamilios from speaking, and he said the conditions one by one by himself.

"The conditions we want in Rome are very simple, there are only six in total, first, your Tassia tribe must nominally become a vassal tribe of our Roman City, of course, this is only in name, and it does not require your Tasya tribe to really become our vassals.

Second, you Tassia tribes must start a full trade with our Roman city, I know that the biggest problem facing your Tasya tribe is the food problem, but our Roman city has plenty of food resources, and we can take what we need to trade.

Thirdly, you Tassia tribe must provide our city of Rome with a mercenary army of five hundred Tasya tribesmen, this mercenary army can be commanded by your Tasya tribe, but the command must belong to our city of Rome.

In order to thank you Tasya tribe for providing this mercenary army, we in the city of Rome will provide you Tasya tribe with enough food for 2,000 people free of charge every month, and this mercenary army is also supported by our city of Rome itself, so you do not need to pay a slight.

Fourthly, you Tasya tribe must send a thousand young men to build a road together with the five hundred young men of our Roman city, which will be an important road connecting the city of Rome with the camp of the Tasya tribe for our trade.

Fifth, you Tassia tribes must stand on the side of our Roman city diplomatically, in short, if we have a war with other barbarian tribes in Rome, you Tassia tribes must not stand on the sidelines, but must become our allies!

Sixth, you, the chief of Gamelios, must send his heir to our city of Rome, and this is only a necessary measure for us in Rome to ensure that your tribe of Tasya complies with the conditions, after all, there is a lack of mutual trust between us.

Leader of Gamelios, as long as you, the tribes of Tasya, are willing to agree to these six conditions, our army in the city of Rome will be withdrawn immediately, and from now on, we in the city of Rome will become the closest allies with the tribes of Tasya.

As for the previous incident of your Tasya tribe taking the initiative to invade our Roman city, at the same time, our Roman city will also give you enough dried meat for 5,000 people to eat for a month to help your Tassia tribe tide over the current crisis.

If, then, you want to get enough food from our city of Rome, you will have to exchange what you can get your hands on from your tribe, and leave this to the ordinary merchants below us, and we need no need to take care of it. ”

The six conditions proposed by Bai Feng were beyond Gamilios's imagination, because these conditions were not very harsh conditions for the Tasya tribe, but were extremely beneficial to the Tasya tribe to some extent.

After the Tasya tribe lost 70 percent of its youth, the Tasya tribe who were not strong enough soon faced a serious food problem, and the conditions of the Roman city were just the solution to the Tasya tribe's problem in this regard.

In particular, Bai Feng was willing to give away enough dried meat for five thousand people of the Tasya tribe for free to eat for a month to help the Tasya tribe tide over the current crisis, such a condition was really something that Gamilios could not refuse.

Even if the Tasya tribe was not at a disadvantage, Gamilios would consider agreeing to these conditions of the White Peak, of course, provided that there was no condition of the first subordinate tribe, which was a real defeat clause!

Even if Gamilios had already decided to agree to Bai Feng's conditions, he did not make a decision on the spot, but returned to the army of the Tasia tribe with these conditions;

When Bai Feng found that a list of vassals had appeared in the attribute panel of Rome City, Bai Feng knew that this war was over, and he finally resolved the war between Rome City and the Tassia tribe in a peaceful way!
