"Chapter Twenty-Eight: Persuading the Barbarians"
Poor reason, after giving us your arguments, you want to strike us again! Your victory is your defeat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
- Democritus (the great materialist philosopher of ancient Greece, one of the founders of the doctrine of atomic materialism)
When the barbarian army approached the battle formation that his side was waiting for, Bai Feng did not rush to issue any warning to the other party, and it was not until the enemy army entered the two hundred and fifty meters of his own army's battle formation that Bai Feng took the initiative to ride forward with three followers.
The appearance of the sword-wielding attendant Maxi and the shield-wielding attendant Darnell, who were guarding Bai Feng's side on the left and right, was not a big deal, but the appearance of Bai Sheng, who was carrying a giant axe on his shoulder, made the rare and solemn barbarian army become a lot of discussion again.
On the premise of not knowing Bai Sheng's true identity, Bai Feng naturally didn't feel anything wrong with taking Bai Sheng to take the initiative to fight, but the barbarians of the Tasya tribe looked at Bai Sheng who was following Bai Feng in shock.
Even Gamilios looked at Bai Sheng in disbelief, he really couldn't understand why the first warrior of the Tassia tribe would follow behind the enemy of his own tribe in front of him, and more importantly, didn't the first warrior of his tribe have already died in yesterday's battle? How could he reappear today?
Bai Feng, who was not blind, could naturally clearly see the shock and discussion of the barbarians, and he quickly followed the barbarians' gaze to look at Bai Sheng;
After continuing to ride his horse close to only fifty meters away from the barbarian army, Bai Feng gently tightened the reins, and after the war horse stopped, Bai Feng shouted to the leader of the barbarian army, Gamilios:
"I am Bai Feng, the commander of the Roman army, and I ask for an interview with His Excellency Gamilios, the leader of the Tasya tribe, if we can, we will try not to use the means of war to solve the problem, after all, there is no deep hatred between us, why do we have to kill you to the death?"
The barbarians who looked at each other didn't know what Bai Feng was trying to do, but now the army under Bai Feng's command had an absolute advantage; in the eyes of the barbarian warriors, this must be a cunning enemy who wanted to win the war through deception, which was also their usual method, so some of the barbarian warriors also shouted after reacting:
"You cunning and shameless enemies must be trying to use some means against us, so that our Tasya tribe will not fall for you, and if you want to attack our tribe, then you can come, and step over our corpses!"
The barbarian warrior's words drew a round of applause from the other barbarian warriors, who all held aloft the various weapons and shields of different forms in their hands to express their disdain for what Bai Feng had just said.
Gamilios himself watched all this with a cold eye, as the warrior said just now, the cunning and shamelessness of the enemy is proved by the blood of countless barbarians, and now what barbarian warrior would choose to believe the words of those who come from the civilized world?
Bai Feng, who thought that he still had some measure, would not be furious because of the barbarian warrior's words, let alone launch a direct attack on the Tassia tribe because of this, ignoring the barbarian warrior's provocation, Bai Feng continued to explain in a loud voice:
"Chief, you and I both know that you Tasia tribe will not be able to stop our Roman army from attacking at all, do you really want our army to destroy the Tassia tribe in one fell swoop after the defeat of your remnants?
I hope you can understand the most basic fact, that is, our city of Rome has never taken the initiative to attack your Tasya tribe, but your Tassia tribe attacked our Roman city first, and this is a war that you provoked, shouldn't you come out and explain?
I can solemnly assure you here that the army of our Roman city is definitely different from the armies of the rest of the civilized world, and we will not take the initiative to attack any barbarian tribe, nor will we do anything to harm you.
The reason why I want the chief of Gamilios to come out for an interview is only to settle the conflict between our city of Rome and the tribes of Tasya, and this is the sincerity of our city of Rome, and I sincerely hope that His Excellency Gamilios will not fail to live up to my hopes!"
In the face of Bai Feng's explanation, the barbarian army also fell into a deathly silence from the previous discussions, although Bai Feng's words were ruthless, but no one could deny that what Bai Feng said was the truth, which made all the Tasya tribe warriors speechless.
The helpless leader of Gamelios also sighed, and slowly rode away from the barbarian army under the gaze of all the barbarian warriors, and came to the place where Bai Feng was.
Looking at Bai Feng's unusually young face and Bai Sheng standing behind Bai Feng, Gamilios also said with a bitter face:
"I am Gamilios, the leader of the Tasya tribe, and I have never heard of the city of Rome before, and I don't know how your city of Rome came into this area in just two months, because two months ago your city was still a wasteland.
But this time, it is really our Tasya tribe that is beyond our strength, your Roman city has much more strength than our Tasya tribe, I understand that with the strength of our Tasya tribe, we are not qualified to negotiate terms with you, but I still hope that you can let our Tassia tribe go, even if it is to let those of us who provoke the war fight with their lives. ”
Looking at Gamilios, who was full of silver-white hair, Bai Feng shook his head seriously and said:
"Leader Gamelios, I think you may think too badly of us people in Rome, as I said earlier, we Romans are different from people in other civilized worlds, I don't need you people to pay the price with your lives, and I won't do anything other excessive to your Tassia tribe, we in Rome just want to be friends with you Tasya tribe. ”
"Friends, our Tasya tribe will never refuse people who sincerely want to make friends, as long as you are willing to return the army in Rome, our Tasya tribe will warmly entertain you friends!"
"Hehe, Chief Gamelios, you also understand that there was still a little misunderstanding between our Roman City and your Tasya tribe before, and based on the existence of this misunderstanding, our army in Roman City will not be easily withdrawn.
However, as long as you Tassia tribe are really willing to make friends with our Roman city, our Roman city army will naturally all retreat, but there is a certain price to be paid for being a friend of our Roman city, I wonder if your tribe is willing to pay the price?"
