"Chapter 8: The Deal of Treatment"
The human will is not always omnipotent, for laughter and tears follow the passions that produce these things, and the most sincere man is the least able to control them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Eggers' active apology, the atmosphere in the military tent did not deteriorate further, and Antio, who drew his short sword, also snorted angrily and inserted the short sword back into the scabbard at his waist, and Gatus also accepted Eggers' apology with a flushed face.
After temporarily resolving this small turmoil, Bai Feng sat straight on his own handsome seat, and this time the generals stood on the right side of the military tent, with only Queen Boudicca and her general Eggers standing side by side on the left.
"Governor Bai Feng, our General Nelson is so seriously injured, can you in Rome treat him as soon as possible?" After Bai Feng sat in the handsome seat, Queen Boudicca immediately asked Bai Feng if she could treat the seriously injured and dying Nelson in time.
On the way back to the barracks, Bai Feng had already asked the war doctor Hua Mu to treat Nelson's wounds with some of the most basic first aid methods as much as possible, otherwise, with Nelson's injuries, he would not have been able to make a bumpy ride all the way to the military camp in Rome City.
Even so, Nelson's injury is extremely serious, and if Nelson is not treated effectively as soon as possible, I am afraid that he will not be able to be saved, because his injury has been delayed for too long.
"We in the city of Rome are not able to effectively treat General Nelson at this time, and Dr. Huamu, the only person who can deal with Nelson's injuries, is powerless, and this involves a top secret of our City of Rome, which must be chosen by Her Excellency the Queen. ”
"What kind of choice?As long as I can save General Nelson, I can promise you any conditions!" Faced with Bai Feng's mysterious secrets, Queen Boudicca gave her own answer without the slightest hesitation.
Well, it seems that this Boudicca queen really likes to say 'any conditions' at every turn, maybe she doesn't feel anything like that, but it's a big temptation for Bai Feng, who made Bai Feng's head have so many colored things.
"Because one of the top secrets of our city of Rome is a top secret, it is only our soldiers of the city of Rome that can enjoy a special treatment of our city of Rome, for which Her Majesty may hire General Nelson and his cavalry to our city of Rome......"
"This is absolutely impossible! Nelson's cavalry is the elite division left by the previous king to Her Majesty, even if Nelson chooses it himself, he will not be able to give up the most elite cavalry troops of our Aceni tribe for his life!"
Before Bai Feng could finish speaking, Eggers, who was on the right hand side of Queen Boudicca, stood up fiercely to refute Bai Feng's suggestion, and Eggers, who was quite excited, would even sit back and watch Nelson die rather than hire Nelson's cavalry to the city of Rome.
In fact, Bai Feng also had his own selfish motives in making such a request; the city of Rome has always lacked a cavalry force, and the Roman light cavalry that the city itself can recruit is too poor in combat effectiveness to play an important role on the battlefield.
Now that the Essini tribe has such an elite cavalry of more than 6,000 people in front of Bai Feng, how can Bai Feng, who is eager for cavalry, be indifferent? Otherwise, Bai Feng only needs Queen Boudicca to hire Nelson to Rome City, so why bring cavalry?
"Yes, Governor of White Peak, I can promise to hire all Nelson and his cavalry to the city of Rome, but you must promise to bring General Nelson back, and if anything happens to General Nelson, then my promise will be null and void!"
"Your Majesty, you ......"
"Eggs, don't you understand the present state of our Aceni tribe, and what is the use of us forcibly keeping Nelson's cavalry in our own tribe, have you forgotten that they were just taken prisoner by the army of the Roman city?
Our Aceni tribe is no longer the powerful existence that once dominated the east bank of the Cangluo River, and since my three so-called brothers teamed up to attack us, we don't even have the strength to survive on the east bank of the Cangluo River.
If it weren't for the willingness of the Governor of White Peak to negotiate peace with us at the end of the war, do you really think we are qualified to make so many demands on the city of Rome? The revitalization of the Esthenic tribe is important, but for us, survival is even more important!"
Bai Feng, who had always felt that Queen Boudicca's qualifications were mediocre, did not expect that this taciturn queen could say such a thing, and even Eggers himself did not expect that the little girl who was once well-behaved and obedient by his side had grown to such a point.
Queen Boudicca's words are cruel, but they are very reasonable, for the current Essini tribe, survival is indeed above anything else, if even survival cannot be maintained, how can anything else?
Eggers, who was obviously distracted, did not defend anything, but took two steps back with a pale face, and Queen Boudicca raised her head again, stared at Bai Feng with her burning eyes, and said to Bai Feng seriously:
"Governor Baifeng, you better hurry up and use the special healing method of Rome City to treat General Nelson, as long as you can pull him back from the brink of death, he and all the cavalry under his command will become the mercenaries of your Rome City!"
"Gatus, you first lead someone to carry General Nelson to a clean barracks outside, and then find Hua Mu and ask him to do his best to treat the seriously injured General Nelson, hurry up!"
After seeing Gatus leave the tent with Nelson, Bai Feng withdrew his gaze and said with a smile to the overly calm Queen Boudicca:
"Your Majesty Queen Boudicca, let the matter of General Nelson be left to our doctors in Rome for the time being, and now it is time for us to talk about the alliance between the city of Rome and your tribe, and we must not let our alliance be made to the point of being a false one. ”
"Governor of White Peak, I hope that before our Aceni tribe formally discusses the alliance with the city of Rome, you can have a full understanding of the situation of our Aceni tribe at this time, which will be beneficial to both you and me. ”
Hearing Queen Boudicca's words, Bai Feng also became interested in the situation of the Aceni tribe, if nothing else, the Aceni tribe should face more than one side of the Roman city, but I don't know what about the strength of the other side?
When Queen Boudicca was arguing with Eggers just now, Bai Feng heard Queen Boudicca admit that their Aceni tribe had been attacked by at least three forces before, which may be the direct reason why Queen Boudicca led her troops westward.
