"Chapter 49: The Savage Land"
Human knowledge is like a circle, inside the circle is known, and outside the circle is unknown. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe more you know, the bigger the circle becomes, and the more you don't know.
- Zeno (Greek philosopher, student of Parmenides)
The barbarians of this world live in a very different environment from the barbarians of the Roman world, and the barbarians of the Roman world generally live in the densely jungled Iberian Peninsula, Gaul, Germanic land and other regions, and the dense primeval forest is their best cover.
And the barbarian land that Bai Feng knew about the barbarians of this world living in seemed to be full of boring desert areas, and if it weren't for the solid soil under his feet, Bai Feng would even feel that this place was completely a vast desert area.
The wilderness without forests was undoubtedly more dangerous, and the terrain with nowhere to hide made it impossible for all barbarian tribes to hide the location of their tribal camps, and also exposed the city of Rome to any barbarian tribe that could reach the area.
The closest barbarian tribe to Rome was the Tassia tribe, and now the Tassia tribe who took the initiative to attack Rome has become a reliable ally and a trusted vassal tribe of Rome, but there are many more from unknown enemies, as exemplified by today's cavalry.
After the soldiers of the Tasia tribe under the command of Gatus had finished cleaning the battlefield, Bai Feng rode his horse in the direction of the Tasia tribe under the escort of Licinius's cavalry;
"Gatus, where did these cavalrymen in green uniforms come from today? Is there still a powerful tribe to the east of our Roman city, and how much difference is the strength of your Tasia tribe compared to them?"
"Governor, I'm afraid things are far more complicated than you think!" Facing Bai Feng's question, Gatus, who was originally excited about this harvest, changed his face suddenly, he subconsciously clenched the short sword at his waist, and then explained with a solemn face:
"In this land where we live, people in the so-called civilized world will always refer to all of us as barbarians, but our reality is far more complicated than outsiders seem, and they have only touched some of the edges. ”
"Gatus, what do you mean is that the so-called southern region opened up by the Celestial Dragon Empire with countless manpower, material and financial resources is simply the edge of the barbaric land, and the actual barbaric land is far more complex than the civilized world realm imagines, right?"
"Yes, the Barbarian Land occupied by the Celestial Dragon Empire is only the edge of our eastern region, not even the edge of the Barbaric Land, because the entire Barbarian Land has been divided into three parts: East, Middle, and West thousands of years ago.
The place where our Tasya tribe lives is in the middle of the eastern region of the barbaric land, and the entire eastern region has an area that is not inferior to that of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and the central and western regions west of the eastern region are not inferior to our eastern regions.
I don't know much about the central and western regions that are too far away, and the only thing we Tasya tribes know about is the three overlord tribes in the eastern region, they are the Aceni tribe in the east, the Luxi tribe in the west, and the Wert tribe in the south. ”
Hearing this, Bai Feng's heart had already vaguely guessed where the green-armored cavalry who took the initiative to attack him came from this time, but he was still not sure how strong the so-called three overlord tribes in the eastern region were, and what the strength of the Tasya tribe was in the eastern region.
"Gatus, I want to know what kind of strength your Tasya tribe has in the entire eastern region, and how strong the three overlord tribes are. With Gatus's explanation, Bai Feng's expression also became serious, and he asked in a solemn tone:
"Based on your own feelings, what position do you think the strength of our Roman City is in the eastern region, and if one of the three overlord tribes in the east attacks Roman City with all its might, do we have the strength to defend ourselves?"
"Alas......" Gatus, who has always been positive and optimistic, also showed a rather decadent look at this moment, he first sighed, and then looked helplessly at the distant sky, he continued to patiently explain to Bai Feng:
"Governor, the strength of our Tassia tribe is only moderate in the eastern region, and this is before our Tassia tribe experienced the defeat of Roman City, and now we are afraid that we have been reduced to one of the weakest tribes in the eastern region.
As for the three overlord tribes, they are not at all the existence that our Tasya tribe can compare with, you must know that the wild land we live in is extremely difficult to survive, and the most difficult thing to survive in such an environment is to feed the population of our own tribe.
At its peak, our Tasya tribe had 5,000 brave warriors, but it could barely feed more than 10,000 old and weak women and children, and the Estheni tribe alone I know of had a total population of more than a million people, and its strength can be imagined.
Half a day's journey to the south is the city of Rome, with our Tasya tribe as the center, and a day's journey east to the border of the Aesini tribe, which is almost as theirs as the entire southern region of the land.
Although the Esceni tribe did not spread all over the vast area, the land belonging to the Aesini tribe was not allowed to be entered by any other tribe, and in order to ensure the Esini tribe's domination, they would even organize a large number of cavalry to patrol the border areas. ”
In Gatus's explanation, Bai Feng's heart also fell to the bottom little by little, and at this time, if Bai Feng still didn't understand the identity of the green-armored cavalry he encountered today, then his experience in the Roman world would be completely blind.
But what if you know a lot of things? Why didn't Gatus answer his own questions, after Bai Feng learned about the strength of the Essini tribe, the answers to these questions didn't make any sense.
Along the way, Bai Feng didn't ask Gatus about the Essini tribe again, and everyone could see that Bai Feng was preoccupied, and they didn't dare to easily disturb Bai Feng, who was in deep thought.
After the group arrived at the camp of the Tasya tribe, Bai Feng did not greet the leader of the Gamilios who greeted him this time, but after jumping off the war horse, he directly pulled Gamilios and walked straight to the meeting hall in the camp of the Tasya tribe.
Maxi, Darnell, and Bai Sheng still followed closely behind Bai Feng, while Licinius led the cavalry to temporarily enter the town militia's barracks to rest, and Gatus continued to go back to repair the road with the town militia and the Tasya tribesmen.
