The heavy atmosphere suppressed everyone in the council hall, even Bai Feng himself did not speak again, all the information about the Eastern Alliance had already been finished, and there was no need to mention the current situation of the army in Rome City, what else could Bai Feng say?
"Governor, why do the small tribes who have been forced to move resist the rule of the Eastern Alliance and go all the way south? Is there any difference between the Tasya Tribal Alliance and the surrender of the Eastern Alliance?
Under normal circumstances, under the premise that their independence cannot be guaranteed, it is better to surrender directly to the side of the strong than to take refuge with the weak; at least they can change to a stable living environment, why would those small tribes choose to move south?"
The dullness in the council hall was finally broken by Eggers, who was once the military commander of the Esini tribe, and Eggers really had a keen eye that other generals could not match, and he directly found out the most critical part of the information that Bai Feng had just provided.
Eggers asked several questions one after another about the southward migration of those tribes into the Tasya tribal alliance, and Bai Feng's eyes lit up; there was no doubt that the reason why Bai Feng did not mention this information just now was to test the generals present.
Licinius and Antio were both generals summoned by the Temple of Apollo, and they were also generals who knew Bai Feng well, and Bai Feng did not have the slightest doubt about the strength and loyalty of these two imperial generals, but their abilities were indeed extremely limited.
If Bai Feng let these two battlefield warriors fight to the death on the battlefield, then they will definitely not let Bai Feng down, but unfortunately, finding a suitable strategic plan now is more important than taking weapons to fight on the battlefield, Bai Feng can only pin his hopes on Eggers and Bazel.
Gatus was too young and too experienced to offer any constructive solution to the predicament that Rome was currently facing, and how could Nelson, who had been under the command of Eggers for many years, surpass the battle-hardened Eggers.
"The reason why those small tribes would rather move south and merge into the Tasya Tribal Alliance than surrender to the Eastern Alliance is because the Eastern Alliance has always had a very brutal ruling model, and all the conquered tribes, their men, women, and children, will become slaves of the Eastern Alliance.
In other words, once a tribe is conquered by the Eastern Alliance, the warriors of that tribe will become cannon fodder on the battlefield of the Eastern Alliance, and their families will become slaves with no status and can be insulted by the enemy. ”
"Hiss......"
The brutal rule of the Eastern Alliance exceeded the expectations of all the barbarian generals present, and they really couldn't imagine that their own people from the same tribe in the barbarian land would deal with their own people like the forces of the civilized world, which was simply shocking!
"Bang!" Shocked, he was naturally deeply angry, especially Bazel, who had always had a fiery temper, and he slammed the table and said angrily: "Such a scum who enslaves his compatriots dares to live in a barbaric land, and we will punish him on behalf of the goddess of war!"
"Governor, I also think this is an opportunity for our Roman City, the excessive brutality of the Eastern Alliance will make our Roman City occupy the name of righteousness, and if we raise our arms, there may not be more other tribes standing behind us. ”
"General Eggers, do you think that the other tribes of the eastern region will stand behind our Roman city? You must understand that our Roman city does not represent the native barbaric earth power, but the civilization force that they have always rejected. ”
"Actually, what so-called civilized barbarians are just artificially divided yardsticks; the tribes we live in the wild land are called barbarian tribes by the people of the civilized world, but are we really barbarians who don't understand etiquette and have no culture?
The rejection of the so-called civilized world by our tribes does not mean that we are unwilling to accept friends who come with good intentions, but we are always deceived by merchants from the so-called civilized countries, and gradually develop a sense of distrust towards them.
It is better for us to be the Aceni tribe, we have already investigated the details of the city of Rome before launching an attack to the west, and if it were not for the reassuring behavior of the city of Rome against the tribe of Tasia, how could Queen Boudicca really return to the city of Rome regardless of the life of the tribesmen.
As long as there is an alliance of Estheni tribes and Tassia tribes to promote the city of Rome, other tribes in the eastern region will easily accept the existence of the city of Rome, especially the surrender of our Essini tribe, which can definitely push the prestige of the city of Rome to a very high level.
As for the newly emerged Eastern Alliance, what they have done has completely betrayed the teachings of the druids and broken their oath to the gods, and the warriors of the tribes of the Eastern Region who believe in the goddess of war will not let them go!"
With Eggers's words, Bai Feng's tension in his heart was also relieved a lot, if it was really like what Eggers said, Roman City could be recognized by other tribes in the eastern region, then this threat from the Eastern Alliance might not be a bad thing.
"It's a good thing to have the approval and support of the tribes in the eastern region, but it will also take time for us to get their approval, and the Eastern Alliance's army has already fought before that, and our top priority is to figure out how to deal with them. ”
"This is not difficult, since the Eastern Alliance can gradually expand to the size it is today, there will be a large number of warriors in their army who have been captured from other conquered tribes to serve as cannon fodder, and these warriors will be the key to our early victory in the war.
As long as our army can capture a group of these cannon fodder warriors in a head-to-head confrontation with theirs, and persuade them to defect to our army in Rome, we can quickly break up this enemy army invading south, and take the initiative in the war.
I think that with the fame and prestige of our Aceni tribe in the eastern region, these enslaved warriors will certainly not refuse the great opportunity to break free from their enslavement, and we can even use these warriors to annihilate this southern enemy army in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" The strategic blueprint outlined by Eggers successfully moved Bai Feng's heart, and the excited Bai Feng praised the strategic plan proposed by Eggers on the spot; after determining this strategic plan, Bai Feng directly ordered the generals:
"This strategic plan proposed by General Eggers is the plan of our Roman city to deal with the Eastern Alliance army, you generals will immediately go back to reorganize their respective legions after the meeting, and tomorrow morning we will officially set out for the camp of the Tasya Tribal Alliance.
This time to meet the southern invasion army of the Eastern Alliance, all the armies of our Roman City have been dispatched, and the goal is to completely destroy this southern invasion army of the Eastern Alliance, and win this crucial first battle for the rise of our Roman City!"
