Less than five days after the combined forces of Rome and the Essini tribe set off, Adrian, who was far away in the hinterland of the Essini Kingdom, received an order from Bai Feng brought back by the ghost of the battlefield.

In the afternoon when he received the order, Adrien secretly infiltrated the camp of Francis, which was occupied by Upton's army, and took advantage of the chaos in the camp to enter Upton's residence, and when Upton returned home, the hidden Adrien came out.

As the eldest son of Atabaz, the general of the Aceni Kingdom, and with the courage to organize this military rebellion against Francis, Appleton's own ability should not be underestimated, and the sudden appearance of Adrien only surprised him a little.

This time, Adrien ventured to talk to Upton, not only to convey White Peak's alliance intentions, but also to bring detailed information about Francis's army, and before Upton could ask, Adrion sent this valuable information.

When Upton learned that Francis's 50,000 elite troops were only a day's journey from the camp, his face really showed a solemn look, because Upton knew that with the 40,000 troops under his command, it was impossible to resist Francis's attack.

The 50,000 elite divisions commanded by Francis are the most elite 50,000 warriors in the entire Aceni Kingdom, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to the 40,000 rabble under Upton at this time, they are all real elite warriors.

At this time, Upton did not show any panic, nor did he hurry to make any military deployments, he just turned his gaze to Adrien, and seriously asked Adrien the purpose of his visit.

Now that Upton had spoken of the matter, Adrien had no need to conceal it, and he first told Upton about his identity on behalf of the city of Rome and the Acenian tribe, and then forwarded to Upton the letters of surrender from Queen Boudicca and Eggers.

In fact, Upton knew only about Queen Boudicca as the daughter of the teenage king eight years earlier, but he knew Eggers' name well, and that was the powerful man of the four great generals of the Aceni kingdom in the past.

The joint persuasion of Queen Boudicca and General Eggers soon shook Upton's desire to fight Francis to the death.

After much thought, Upton chose to surrender to Queen Boudicca and General Eggers, and then he asked in detail when Adrien's Roman city and General Eggers' army would arrive, and Adrien gave the answer truthfully.

With more than 20 days to go, it may be difficult for the Roman army to reach the camp before Upton's army is destroyed, but Upton decides to take a gamble and do everything he can to resist Francis's onslaught for the next twenty days.

In fact, Upton also thought about abandoning the plan of withdrawing the entire army from this camp, but this plan really did not work, because Francis had 30,000 elite cavalry under his command, and it was impossible for any escape to escape from Ascension under the pursuit of enemy cavalry.

Rather than flee in all directions, it is better to resist Francis's 50,000-strong army in the camp here, and the 50,000-strong army is still in the camp anyway, and the determined Upton will always have a way to delay Francis's attack.

After Adrien reached a certain agreement with Upton, he left Upton's camp and rushed in the direction of the combined forces of Assam and Nabazani, whose 70,000 troops were the key to saving Upton.

During the secret conversation with Upton, Adrien did not tell Upton what he was thinking, because Adrien believed that the reason why Francis chose to divide his troops was to attack Upton's army without any worries.

If Francis hadn't divided his army, Upton's threatening strategy might have been useful, but now that Francis had divided his army, and he was joined by 50,000 loyal elites, Upton's strategy was almost impossible to achieve.

The only way to keep Upton's army from being wiped out by Francis before the Roman army reached the heart of the kingdom of Aceni was to have Assam and Nabazani take the initiative to help Upton.

Overnight from Upton's camp to the two camps where Assam and Nabazani were at each other's horns, Adrien first visited the relatively stronger Nabazani, who was calmer than Upton when he suddenly appeared.

The nimble Adrien also understood that there was no need to beat around the bush when dealing with an experienced veteran like Nabazani, and he directly handed over to Nabazani the information of Francis's army and the letter of surrender signed by Queen Boudicca and Eggers.

As for the situation of Upton's army at this time, Adrien also informed Nabazani in 1510, and explained his thoughts to him in detail, hoping that Nabazani and Assam could join forces to help Upton's army resist Francis's attack.

However, the surrender of Queen Boudicca and Eggers still made Nabazani hesitate, he was not a young man like Upton, and he needed to carefully consider the implications of this matter.

He had seen the combat effectiveness of the army of Rome in the previous battle of the Longbow, and even Nabazani, who had always been proud of the Acenian Kingdom, had to admit that the army of the Roman City did have more combat effectiveness than the warriors of the Aceni Kingdom.

Especially under the premise that Queen Boudicca formed an alliance with the city of Rome, the army of the city of Rome has the name of righteousness, at least it will not be regarded as an invader by the people of the Aceni Kingdom, nor can it arouse the hatred of the warriors of the Aceni Kingdom.

After much deliberation and inner struggle, Nabazani finally decided to accept the persuasion of Queen Boudicca and Eggers, and in order to help the Ppton army break the siege, Nabazani was even willing to help Adrien persuade Assam to surrender.

With Nabazani's assistance, Adrien walked directly into Assam's camp openly, and after seeing Assam, he didn't need Adrion to say a word at all, and Nabazani pulled Assam into Queen Boudicca's camp.

Now that Upton, Nabazzani, and Assam, the three forces within the Essini Kingdom, are all willing to accept the persuasion of Queen Boudicca and Eggers, what Adrien needs to do next is to send the information back to Bai Feng.

As for the joint reinforcement of Upton, that is what Nabazani and Assam need to think about, and it has nothing to do with Adrien, and Adrien, who is temporarily acting as an emissary, has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Nabazani and Assamem.
