With Bronno joining the city of Rome, the distribution of all the Dart tribes' armies was clearly known to Bai Feng and others, and with more than 20,000 captured enemy troops becoming part of their own army, there was no suspense in the follow-up battle.

Originally, Bai Feng planned to take the Eagle Legion, the Tiger Legion, and the Mobile Force to the north early tomorrow morning, but now Bronno and his troops have been added, but for security reasons, the troops led by Bronno are limited to 3,000 people.

In fact, the reason why Bai Feng chose to take Bronno to the remnants of the enemy army was entirely because of Bronno's own self-recommendation, according to Bronno, the troops left behind by the Dart tribe in the rear camp were all non-descendant troops, and he was sure to persuade the enemy to surrender.

The total strength of the enemy army is still about 6,000, if these 6,000 people choose to resist stubbornly, with their combat effectiveness, they will at least bring 3,000 casualties to the soldiers of Rome, such a price can be avoided without paying Bai Feng.

If Bronno's persuasion really worked, it would not only reduce the casualties of 3,000 soldiers in Rome City, but even add 6,000 new soldiers to Rome City;

However, considering that Bronno was the deputy general of the enemy army who had just surrendered after all, and Bai Feng did not particularly trust the enemy soldiers who were willing to surrender, he still subconsciously controlled the number of soldiers under Bronno who went out with the army to 3,000 to avoid accidents.

After all the military issues were discussed, this military meeting was also held late at night, and tomorrow morning the army will go out, and today all the generals have fought the battlefield for a day, Bai Feng hurriedly let everyone go back to rest.

The three enemy generals who were willing to surrender to Rome were also assigned by Bai Feng to Bronno, who was responsible for assisting Bronno to jointly command the more than 20,000 soldiers who surrendered;

When the generals had left the tent, the exhausted Bai Feng fell asleep on the marching bed in the tent, and his exertion and anxiety on this day were not something that others could imagine, and he even felt that he was going to die for several years.

In the quiet of the night, the whole barracks seemed unusually quiet, except for the footsteps of the patrol soldiers and the burning and bursting of firewood in the braziers, there was no other sound in the huge barracks, and the exhausted soldiers had long fallen into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when it was just dawn, Bai Feng, who was sleeping grogily, was woken up by the loud sound of military horns in the barracks; he had no choice but to force himself to put on his clothes and armor, and then wash his face with cold water, and then walked out of the military tent in good spirits.

The three generals who needed to lead the army today, such as Bazel, Eggers, and Nelson, got up early, and when Bai Feng walked out of the military tent, they were already reorganizing their respective legions, and even Bronno carefully selected three thousand soldiers were waiting for Bai Feng's arrival.

After tidying up a bit, Bai Feng left the barracks with Licinius and his general's guard, followed by Bazel's Tigers and Eggers' Eagle Legion, and as for Nelson and Bronno, their troops had already set off early.

The mighty Roman army is advancing north along the path of yesterday's enemy army to the south, and if nothing else, the entire south bank of the Cangluo River will be completely under the control of the Roman army by tonight, and the southern invasion army of the Eastern Alliance will be completely annihilated.

In fact, the situation was even better than Bai Feng expected, the main force of the Roman army had only advanced for three hours, and the first good news came back from the Roman light cavalry under Nelson's command, and all the troops in the enemy camp had surrendered.

The 5,000 elite soldiers of the enemy army, who were responsible for controlling the 20,000 slave warriors, were easily surrendered to Brono under the personal persuasion of Bronno, and without the suppression of these 5,000 elite warriors, the remaining 20,000 slave warriors would naturally not refuse Nelson's surrender.

Although the name of the city of Rome was far less resounding than that of the Estheni tribe in the entire eastern region at this time, the strength of the Tasya tribal alliance was well known to the tribes on the south bank of the Cangluo River, and more importantly, the rule of the eastern alliance was too brutal.

These warriors on the south bank of the Cangluo River would rather have their tribe annexed by the Tasya tribal confederation or be loyal to the Roman city with which they were unfamiliar, rather than be enslaved by the Eastern Confederation as slaves, much less have their families enslaved.

The army under Bronno has increased by 5,000 elite soldiers, and Nelson has increased by 20,000 barbarian warriors, and in just three hours, the total strength of the city of Rome has increased by 35,000 people, which makes Bai Feng have to sigh at the wisdom of bringing Bronno.

However, this was only the first good news, and soon the second good news came: as Nelson and Bronno's army advanced to the enemy's camp to guard the conquered tribesmen, the 1,000 cavalry also surrendered under Blonor's persuasion.

At this point, all the Eastern Alliance armies that invaded the south bank of the Cangluo River were all eliminated, and whether these enemy soldiers were annihilated by the Roman army or surrendered by the Roman army, the Eastern Alliance army completely disappeared on the south bank of the Cangluo River.

At this time, another question was very prominent, that is, what should be done with the rescued barbarian people, who numbered up to 150,000 people, whose homes had been destroyed, and who could not survive if the city of Rome were left to fend for themselves.

What's more, the question of the life and death of these barbarian people also involves the 20,000 warriors that Bai Feng wants to incorporate into the city of Rome; if the city of Rome doesn't care about their families, then how can they be willing to serve the city of Rome?

Forced to be helpless, Bai Feng had no choice but to order Nelson to escort the 150,000 barbarian people south, temporarily stationed in the camp of the Tasya Tribal Alliance, and wait until Bai Feng thought of a better way to deal with them, and then deal with these homeless barbarian people.

Fortunately, all the food captured by the Eastern Alliance army was received by Nelson's army in their barracks, so that they could have food to sustain the 150,000 people for two or three months, otherwise the city of Rome would have been completely tragic.

Now there are about ten days left before the end of this month, and the treasury of Rome only has 25 gold left, and when the phenomenon of not having enough treasury funds to buy grain in the market appears, Bai Feng does not have the ability to conjure up grain out of thin air.

With the seizure of this vital batch of grain, Bai Feng will have enough time and energy to solve the food problem in the city of Rome, and the addition of 150,000 vassal population is nothing more than doubling the size of Bai Feng's planned military cantonment, which can still solve the problem in the end.

In addition, there was another thing that made Bai Feng's annoying mood suddenly turn beautiful, Nelson found twenty old god statues in the camp where the barbarian people were being held, and they were already on their way back to the barracks!
