Gatus, who had never thought that Bai Feng would hand over these six thousand elite warriors to himself, was completely shocked, and when he saw Bai Feng's encouraging eyes, he reacted from the shock, and hurriedly excused himself:

"Your Excellency the Governor, how can I command those 6,000 elite soldiers, they are trained by the two commanders Leng Gundam and Leng Gaofei, not to mention, with my ability, I will definitely not be able to command them!"

Seeing Gatus look so honestly frightened, Bai Feng also shook his head helplessly, and then walked down from his main seat, came to Gatus's side, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be so arrogant about yourself, Gatus, since I will hand over these six thousand elite soldiers to you, it proves that I believe you can command them well, and whether you will disappoint me depends on whether you work hard or not. ”

"This ......" Facing Bai Feng's encouraging eyes, Gatus finally strengthened his confidence, and he mustered up the courage to promise to Bai Feng, who was looking at him expectantly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to command these six thousand soldiers, and I will definitely not disappoint you, Governor, let alone let the six thousand soldiers damage the prestige of the city of Rome!"

After getting the result he wanted, Bai Feng smiled again and patted Gatus on the shoulder, then walked up to Bazel with an expressionless face, and said to Bazel with a smile:

"Leader Bazel, I have heard of your name, and I admire you for your courage and courage to stand up against the invasion of the Essini tribe thirteen years ago, and I hope that the leader of Bazel can fight side by side with our Roman city!"

"Fighting side by side?" Bazel sneered disdainfully, he looked at Bai Feng's kind eyes with an arrogant expression, and said in a rather unkind tone: "Since you know that thirteen years ago I will desperately resist the westward expansion of the Aceni tribe, you should understand that it is impossible for me to be in the company of you despicable villains, you still have to die of this heart!"

"You ......" Licinius and Gatus, who were enraged by Bazel's arrogant attitude, just wanted to stand up, but Bai Feng stretched out his hand without looking back to stop the two impulsive generals under his command, and then Bai Feng continued to persuade Bazel:

"I know that you are outrageously angry at the way Licinius has captured you, Chief, and I understand your insistence on being unwilling to serve our city of Rome, but are you really wrong to decide that our city of Rome is acting in conjunction with the tribes of Tasya?

Thirteen years ago, it took you five years to sacrifice the lives of countless warriors to barely repel the attack of the Aceni tribe, but don't you understand why the Aceni tribe has not attacked again for eight years?

It is not you, Bazel, who are fearing the Essini tribe, but the internal division of their tribe, and now that the Essini tribe has once again extended its tentacles to the west of the Cangluo River, isn't that enough to alarm you?"

"You mean, just because the Aceni tribe is preparing to expand westward again, we should be annexed by you and the Tasya, right?

"Well, then I'll tell you the difference between the two, if your tribe is annexed by the Aceni tribe, then the entire tribe, including yourself, will face the cruel revenge of the Aceni tribe, which was doomed thirteen years ago.

And after your tribe is now annexed by the Tasya tribe, the people and warriors who once belonged to your tribe will become the subjects and warriors of the Tasya tribe, and even many warriors will become the warriors of our Roman city.

You are a native of this land, and you cannot be unaware of the difficulties of surviving in your barren lands, while our city of Rome will continue to provide sufficient food to the Tassia tribe to promote the development of the Tasya tribe.

In other words, as long as the people of your tribe join the tribe of Tasya, they will no longer have to struggle to make ends meet, nor will they have to pay with their lives for the food they need to survive, isn't that enough?"

"After all, you just want to control the Tasya tribe through food, and then let the warriors of the Tasya tribe use it for you, don't you?" This Bazel is really extraordinary, he can even point out Bai Feng's purpose in one sentence!

"The reason why you think so, Leader of Bazel, is because you still don't know our Roman city, and every warrior from the tribe of Tasya, if he is willing to fight for our Roman city, then he is a warrior of our Roman city.

For us in the city of Rome, we have never taken advantage of this concept, and what we have given to the tribes of Tasia is not to control their food, but to do our duty as allies, and besides, we in Rome have no cannon fodder, only Brother Roze!"

Bai Feng answered Bazel's question with his firm and powerful answer, and also made Gatus behind him secretly relieved, after getting this unexpected answer, Bazel did not say anything more, but fell into deep thought.

"If I surrender your city of Rome, can you bring me back to the forefront of the war?" The hall of the Doge's Palace, where no one spoke, was unusually quiet, and Bazel, who had been pondering for a long time, finally decided to surrender the city of Rome, and asked this sentence.

"As long as you, the leader of Bazel, are willing to surrender to our Roman city, then you are one of the commanders of our Roman city, and the 10,000 soldiers brought by Gatus this time will all be under your command, and you will become the general with the most commanding troops in our Roman city!"

"I want the thousands of warriors of my own tribe, they are the most handy troops I can use, and they are the most loyal warriors to me, I don't want them to belong to anyone, I want to command them myself!"

"In addition to the ten thousand warriors brought by Gatus, I also grant you permission to go to the tribe of Tasia and bring all the warriors of your old tribe to the city of Rome, and from now on you will be a member of our city of Rome!"

Bai Feng, who firmly believed in the principle of employing people without suspicion, accepted all of Bazel's requests, and gave Bazel enough power to directly become the general with the most troops in Rome.

In the face of Bai Feng's arrangement, Licinius, who would never question any orders from Bai Feng, still had no doubt, and Gatus wanted to say something but did not say it in the end, while Bazel, he accepted Bai Feng's appointment and privileges as usual.

With the addition of Bazeel, the strength of the city of Rome has developed by leaps and bounds again, you must know that Bazeel is the first foreign great swordsman level general that Rome City has, and he is also a high great swordsman;
