"Chapter 7: The Storm of Dignity"
Faith is to believe what we have never seen, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
- Alighelli Dante (Italian poet, one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance)
When Licinius's army returned to the barracks, all the troops that had been roaming the west bank had already been stationed in the barracks, Bazel's Tigers were still stationed in their previous positions, and more than 8,000 soldiers under the command of Queen Boudicca were resting in the barracks.
While ordering Licinius to lead the army into the barracks, Bai Feng also returned to his tent with Antio and the others and Nelson, who was seriously injured and dying;
"General Nelson, why is he injured like this?!" As soon as he saw Nelson brought in by Antio's general guard, Eggers, who was already as pale as iron, rushed up on the spot and pushed away Gatus next to Nelson, and asked Bai Feng angrily.
"Bastard, what are you, but a defeated and captured subordinate, and an old fellow like you dares to speak like this to our governor, I think you're tired of being crooked, right?!"
Eggers' action of pushing away Gatus and roaring at Bai Feng completely angered the Roman generals in the military tent, especially the grumpy Antio, who even scolded and drew the short sword at his waist, ready to rush up to teach the unruly Eggers a lesson.
This time, Eggers angered not only the fiery Antio alone, but even the calm Bazel involuntarily pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword under Eggers's actions, not to mention the other generals' entourage.
Seeing that the situation in the military tent was about to get out of control, Queen Boudicca, who had been watching coldly, suddenly asked Bai Feng, who was silent, "Could it be that the Governor of Bai Feng is such an unmeasured person?" General Eggers is just concerned about the chaos, and his words and deeds are a little excessive, and the generals under the Governor's command are inevitably too emotional, right?"
"Hehe, words and deeds are a little excessive? It doesn't matter whether my Bai Feng is a measured person or not, the important thing is that I will never sit idly by and watch any of the soldiers under my command be insulted by others, this is my Bai Feng's principle, and it is also the principle of our Roman City!
General Eggers was the commander of the Cheetah Legion in Rome, Gatus, and he must apologize to General Gatus for this, or he will have to pay the price for his actions, which is the way we Romans do things.
Also, even if General Eggers was not the commander of the legion who was pushed to the ground by General Eggers just now, but one of the most ordinary soldiers in our Roman city, he must personally apologize, and our soldiers in Roman City cannot be bullied by anyone!"
Bai Feng's words made Queen Boudicca speechless, but more of it was for the soldiers of Rome City present, which can be regarded as Bai Feng's promise to the soldiers of Rome, they fought bloodily for Rome, and Rome City should also maintain their dignity.
All the soldiers in the military tent who heard these words couldn't help but show excited looks, and Gatus, who was the person concerned, clenched his fists with red eyes, only Eggers glanced at Bai Feng with a serious face in shock.
When Queen Boudicca told Eggers that she had decided to lead the Aceni tribe to the city of Rome, the newly released Eggers could not accept such bad news, and even thought of killing himself to end this nightmare reality.
Because in the opinion of Eggers, who had followed Plasus all his life in the southern and northern wars, the Aceni tribe was the most powerful and noble tribe in the entire eastern region, how could such a powerful and noble tribe submit to the power of outsiders?
Therefore, he vehemently opposed Queen Boudicca's decision, and begged Queen Boudicca to flee back to the east bank immediately while the Roman army was loosely defended.
After the quarrel was fruitless, the stubborn Eggers chose to obey in the face of Queen Boudicca's solemn orders, but he did not give up the pride of the Acenian tribe in his heart, and he decided to give the so-called governor of Rome an embarrassing dismount!
After leading the army into the Roman military camp for repairs, Eggers and Queen Boudicca were taken by Bazel to Bai Feng's Chinese army commander's tent to rest temporarily, and waited for Bai Feng's return to the camp.
Frankly speaking, Eggers, who was the commander of the Aceni tribe, felt very unbelievable in his heart when he saw Bai Feng for the first time, and he really couldn't imagine how such a half-old boy could control such a powerful force in the city of Rome.
The fleeting surprise did not hover in Eggers' heart for long, he felt that Bai Feng's youth might magnify the effect of his dismount, and at this time, Nelson, who was seriously injured and dying, was carried into the military tent, so Eggers began to use the topic to play.
Needless to say, Bai Feng, who didn't know how to read minds, didn't know that Eggers was deliberately using Nelson to embarrass him, but he had his own principles and persistence, and then there was a scene of Antio drawing his sword in the military tent.
The reason why Bai Feng didn't order Antio to stop this time was to let Antio win dignity for Gatus, and even Bai Feng personally leaned over and pulled Gatus who was pushed to the ground; looking at Gatus who was blushing, Bai Feng just patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything else, after all, the difference in strength between Gatus and Eggers was too great.
Queen Boudicca, who spoke out to stop her, her reaction was all within Eggers' expectations, and it was also part of Eggers's own plan to dismount, but Bai Feng's explanation and answer were completely beyond Eggers's imagination and shocked him again.
As a veteran who followed King Prasus on the battlefield for 30 years, Eggers felt that his life was not shallow, at least it was still clear whether a person was worth following him, for example, Queen Boudicca was a leader worth following.
Although Bai Feng's youth was a bit excessive, after his words came out, Eggers understood why Queen Boudicca insisted on being attached to the city of Rome, and as long as the city of Rome had such a leader, how could they not be strong?
Glancing around at the excited soldiers of Rome in the military tent, Eggers smiled helplessly, it seems that he still lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot! But Eggers is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, since the matter has come to this, he can only apologize to Gatus:
"General Gatus of Rome, I suddenly saw General Nelson, who had been seriously injured just now, and he had not controlled his emotions and strength for a while, and if my behavior made you feel uncomfortable, then I am here to formally apologize to you, and I hope you can forgive me. ”
