"Chapter 4: The Queen's Homecoming"
Anger is the most obvious weakness of character. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
- Alighelli Dante (Italian poet, one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance)
The defeat of the war with the city of Rome meant that the Aceni tribe had lost the military basis on which it depended for survival, and without the army as a guarantee, why did the Aceni tribe survive under the oppression of other ambitious kings and three generals?
Since her three brothers joined forces to lead an army to attack her camp, Queen Boudicca will no longer believe in the so-called family affection, rather than being swallowed up in the future, and will not surrender to the city of Rome now.
When Queen Boudicca planned to contact the forces on the west bank of the Cangluo River to deal with the city of Rome, although she was not able to contact the tribes on the west bank before the city of Rome, she learned a lot of detailed information about the city of Rome.
For example, the once weak tribe of Tasia, who failed to attack Rome and became vassals of Rome, only to have regained their strength under the protection of Rome, as is a well-known fact on the west bank of the Cangluo River.
What's even more touching is that the city of Rome really kept their promise, only maintained their nominal rule over the Tassia tribe, and did not actually meddle in the internal affairs of the Tasya tribe, and even spared no effort to help the Tassia tribe develop.
Even the food problem of the Tasia tribe was solved by the Roman city, and the food sent from Rome to the camp of the Tasia tribe was constantly delivered, and even the scout cavalry of the Essini tribe were shocked.
You must know that the shortage of food is a cruel problem faced by the barbarian tribes in the entire wilderness, no matter how powerful the tribe is, it is impossible to completely solve the food problem of its tribe, but I did not expect that the city of Rome can have almost inexhaustible food.
These pieces of information about the city of Rome were firmly remembered by Queen Boudicca, but now they have become the reason for Queen Boudicca to lead her tribe to take refuge in the city of Rome, who has made Queen Boudicca have no way to maintain the survival of the Acenian tribe.
After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Feng was not in a hurry to say anything more to Queen Boudicca, he quickly clicked on the attribute table of Rome City in his mind to see if there was any Essini tribe in the vassal power attributes inside.
Vassals: Ethini Tribe・1/7 (Normal)
Region: Barbarian Land
Faction Leader: Queen Boudicca (Junior High Swordsman)
Population: 147297
Force strength: 56,132 warriors (including apprentice swordsmen and above)
Forces: King's Cavalry Guards (6542, Nelson, High Great Swordsman), Esini Army (32186, Eggers, Top Swordsman)
Force Loyalty: 50 (up to 100)
The Acenian tribe did appear among the vassal forces of the city of Rome, but judging from the name of the Acenian tribe, the once unified Acenian tribe should have split into seven independent forces, and Queen Boudicca's power was one of them.
It may be that after the Escini tribe was subsumed into the vassal power of the Roman city, the Escini tribe warriors captured by the Roman army were no longer prisoners, but restored their original identity, otherwise how could the Escini tribe have so many warriors?
After confirming that Queen Boudicca had indeed surrendered, there was no need for Bai Feng to let the soldiers of the Tiger Legion imprison the warriors of the Aesini tribe, so Bai Feng ordered Bazel behind him without looking back:
"Commander Bazel, let your men release all the captured Escini warriors on the spot, and from this day onwards, the Escini tribe is also our allies in Rome, and their warriors are no longer our enemies, but our friends.
Besides, you go and bring General Eggers with you, and remember to untie him and tell him that Queen Boudicca is here at this time, and let Queen Boudicca tell him about the rest, and you won't say anything more!"
"Yes!" Bazel, who has been in Rome for the shortest time, is the fastest outsider to adapt to the laws of Rome, and when faced with Bai Feng's undoubted orders, he will always carry them out without any doubts.
Bazel turned around without any doubt to carry out the order, but Boudicca, who was sitting opposite Bai Feng, asked Bai Feng in disbelief: "Aren't you worried that I just lied? What if I suddenly regret it?"
"Hehe, I believe that you Queen Boudicca is not a person who can lie, I am a good person, I trust you to consider persuading you to become an ally of our Roman city, if I don't trust you, I will directly order a counterattack across the river. ”
Bai Feng's words were said by Queen Boudicca's heart trembled violently, the word 'trust' contains too much, so much that Queen Boudicca never dared to use this word easily, only for Eggers, she would involuntarily use this word.
Maybe from today onwards, Queen Boudicca's heart will have one more person who can let her use this word, sometimes touching and trusting is really just a matter of a moment, not to mention that Queen Boudicca is also a twenty-three-year-old girl.
The other people present didn't understand Bai Feng's approach, nor did they understand the change in Queen Boudicca's expression, but Yue'er beside Bai Feng couldn't help but roll her eyes at Bai Feng, as the controller of Rome City, could she not know Bai Feng's small movements?
In any case, Bai Feng still succeeded in incorporating Queen Boudicca's Aceni tribe into the vassal power of Rome City, and after the dazed Eggers was brought here by Bazel, Bai Feng temporarily left here with his own people.
Leaving only the calm Queen Boudicca and the excited Eggers talking on the spot, Bai Feng rode north to meet his general Licinius, and the reason why the city of Rome was able to win so cleanly was that Licinius and his First Legion, as well as the four thousand pikemen of the Cheetah Legion, were the real heroes.
In order to show his attention, Bai Feng, who was idle anyway, took Gatus and Yue'er and others to meet Licini and his army, while Bazel continued to clean up the battlefield with his Tiger Legion, and the archers and elite soldiers of the Cheetah Legion under Gatus were also temporarily handed over to Bazel for unified command.
After fighting this war, Bai Feng felt that his Roman city could finally have the capital to stand on this wild land, with the surrender of the Aceni tribe, the goal of Roman City no longer had to be placed on the west bank of the Cangluo River, the east bank area would become the new expansion direction of Roman City, and that was the place that was really suitable as a foundation!
