In the future, the Aceni Kingdom will be ruled by Queen Boudicca, and after many major events have been agreed, another thing has to be put on the table: what should be done with Queen Boudicca's camp here.
If all the hundreds of thousands of people in this camp were to be moved back to the hinterland of the Essini Kingdom, it would be a huge project, and the Essini Kingdom, which was now rapidly declining in numbers, would not be able to support so many old and weak women and children.
It just so happened that Bai Feng also planned to open a new port on the east bank of the Cangluo River, and he felt that the hundreds of thousands of people under the rule of Queen Boudicca could become the sixth town directly under the city of Rome, and stayed on the spot to settle in the coastal areas on the east bank of the Cangluo River.
Queen Boudicca herself had no opinion on this, and Nabazani and Assam were naturally not qualified to give any opinion, so Bai Feng issued an order to Eggers' Eagle Legion to build a residential town for these hundreds of thousands of people.
After the hundreds of thousands of people here were placed under the direct rule of the city of Rome, the total population of the Aceni Kingdom dropped to about 500,000, while the number of towns directly under the Roman City became six, and the population directly exceeded the population of the Aceni Kingdom.
Since the hundreds of thousands of women of Queen Boudicca did not need to be moved, there was no need to delay their return to the kingdom of Aceni, and on the morning of the third day of the meeting, Queen Boudicca was ready to return to the kingdom of Aceni under the escort of the generals.
The 4,000 elite cavalry that Bai Feng promised Queen Boudicca before were all handed over to Queen Boudicca on the second day of the meeting, so that the personal guard legion directly belonging to Queen Boudicca was officially formed into an army.
As for Joshur's Third Legion and the Legions of Nabazani and Assam, they will have to wait until they return to the Kingdom of Essini to slowly replenish them, and the town of Essieni, which already belongs to the city of Rome, will not provide them with any more soldiers.
Queen Boudicca's departure time was eight o'clock in the morning, and the army returned all the way back to the Iceni Kingdom needed food and grass, and Bai Feng had prepared it for them, and handed it over to General Joshur's troops for escort.
An hour before departure, Queen Boudicca, who had been carefully dressed, invited Bai Feng, who was still in the camp, to take a walk along the banks of the Cangluo River, and this time, Bai Feng did not bring his own entourage, but accompanied Queen Boudicca to the riverside alone.
Neither of them spoke first, but walked side by side, and as the minutes passed, the cold winter wind blowing slightly on the riverside made the thinly dressed Queen Boudicca finally sneez.
"The winter in the wild land is still very cold, and you will be alone in the Aceni Kingdom in the future, so you must take good care of yourself. Bai Feng whispered words of concern in Queen Boudicca's ear, and took off the cloak behind his armor and put it on Queen Boudicca.
"Yes, I see. Perhaps it was Bai Feng's concern that made Queen Boudicca feel embarrassed, she just replied with a slightly red face, and then stopped talking; looking at Queen Boudicca, who was walking forward, Bai Feng thought about it and still didn't say anything.
The sparkling Cangluo River ceased to be choppy in winter, and the calm surface of the river only swayed slightly under the cold wind, and the transport ships of the city of Rome were still carrying the soldiers of the army in an orderly manner, and it seemed to be a busy scene.
"Bai Feng, you say, after I return to the hinterland of the kingdom this time, how long will it take for us to meet next time?" Just as Bai Feng was walking and watching the ships coming and going on the Cangluo River, Queen Boudicca suddenly stopped, stared at Bai Feng and asked this question.
"Boudicca, if you miss life in Rome, you can always return to the Doge's Palace for a while, the gates of Rome are always open for you, and the Doge's Palace is your home, and I am waiting for you to come home. ”
"Then, if you have time, will you go to the hinterland of the kingdom to see me?"
Facing the young and pretty face of Queen Boudicca, Bai Feng smiled and nodded, just as Bai Feng opened his mouth to say something, the horn of the army assembly sounded in the camp behind the two, which was the prelude to the start of the army.
Hearing the sound of the horn, Bai Feng's heart was also reluctant to leave Queen Boudicca, and Bai Feng, who had experience in the Roman world, was not a fool, how could he not see Queen Boudicca's affection for him?
Although the marriage contract proposed by Eggers was rejected by Queen Boudicca herself, in a series of events that happened later, Queen Boudicca's Acenian tribe supported the city of Rome, and anyone with a discerning eye can see why.
How could Bai Feng turn a blind eye to Queen Boudicca's efforts? It's just that Bai Feng, who is concerned about Bai Rou and the development of Roman City, is really unwilling to let Queen Boudicca's full tenderness put her full of tenderness on himself.
But this morning's invitation from Queen Boudicca, Bai Feng still saw everything from Queen Boudicca's rare dress;
With the sound of the horn, Queen Boudicca's eyes quickly moistened, she suddenly rushed up and threw herself into Bai Feng's arms and hugged Bai Feng tightly, feeling the sobbing of the beauty in her arms, Bai Feng had to pat her on the back lovingly.
This moment is the world of two people who only belong to Bai Feng and Queen Boudicca, and it is also the beginning of Queen Boudicca's infatuation with Bai Feng; Queen Boudicca, who has been crying for a long time, finally wiped away her tears and returned to the camp alone.
Seeing the lonely figure of the beautiful woman leaving, Bai Feng wanted to say something but said nothing, and he remained quietly by the riverbank until Queen Boudicca, with her army, left the camp and slowly disappeared from his sight.
After Queen Boudicca led the army away, Bai Feng was not completely assured of Queen Boudicca's safety, Joshuael's army and the elite directly under Queen Boudicca, could protect Queen Boudicca's authority from interference, but it was difficult to resist the cold arrows shot from the shadows.
Adrien and his nine battlefield ghosts have all been secretly sent out by Bai Feng, and their mission is to protect Queen Boudicca's safety in the shadows, and anyone who tries to harm Queen Boudicca will be severely attacked by them!
Bai Feng did not make specific arrangements for the duration of their mission, he only asked Adrion to send someone back once a month to report the situation, and if there was any turmoil in the Aceni Kingdom, he needed to send back the news to the city of Rome immediately.
In other words, Adrien and the battlefield ghosts under his command not only have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Queen Boudicca, but also need to keep an eye on the internal situation of the Aceni Kingdom for Bai Feng, and their task is not easy.
