- Giordano Bruno (Italian thinker, natural scientist, philosopher and writer)

"Queen Boudicca, ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of my visit to the Kingdom of Esceni must be well understood by everyone, for long before Queen Boudicca returned to the Kingdom of Estheni with her army, we had decided to build a road connecting the city of Rome with the Kingdom of Esine.

This vital road can not only strengthen the close connection between our Roman city and the Essini Kingdom, but also continuously transport the various resources of our Roman City to the hinterland of the Essini Kingdom, and help the Aceni Kingdom to regain its strength after the war. ”

After everyone was seated, Bai Feng, who was sitting side by side with Queen Boudicca, began to be honest about the purpose of his visit;

General Qiao Xiuer below wanted to speak out to help Bai Feng, but was stopped by Bai Feng with his eyes, and now what Bai Feng needs is not General Qiao Xiuer's support, but the true thoughts of the nobles present.

Nabazani and Assam, who had always maintained close contact with the nobles, knew that the reason why those representatives of the nobles did not express their stance on the road construction plan proposed by Bai Feng was mainly because they were worried that Bai Feng's Roman city forces would interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Aceni Kingdom.

For the aristocratic forces of the Aceni Kingdom, how to maintain their own prerogatives in the Aceni Kingdom was their highest priority, and once the rule of the city of Rome threatened their own privileges, it was not acceptable to them.

To be elected by other nobles to be a representative and to attend this meeting is enough to show that several of the nobles present have an extraordinary position within the Aceni Kingdom, and even Queen Boudicca sometimes has to take into account the opinions of these nobles.

"Governor of White Peaks, is this road you are talking about just a road connecting the city of Rome with our kingdom of Aceni? ”

After much deliberation, Nabazani decided to step forward and help Bai Feng to explain to the nobles the purpose of the construction of this road, although the construction of this road may not be a good thing for the Acenian Kingdom, but it is definitely not a bad thing.

Nabazani, who is familiar with everything in the Essini Kingdom, knows that with the strength of the Essini Kingdom itself, it is impossible to return to its former heyday, and even the survival of the Essini Kingdom is problematic.

The shortage of food is a natural problem that the barbarian tribes cannot solve, and more than ten years of war have caused the Aceni Kingdom to lose a large number of young and strong people, which directly leads to the current Aceni Kingdom is already facing an extremely serious food problem.

If it weren't for the food from the city of Rome that sustained the Esthenic kingdom, perhaps the kingdom of Essini would have been completely torn apart due to lack of food, and this consideration alone would have been enough to convince Nabazani to approve of the construction of this road.

"General Nabazani, I can assure you and the entire kingdom of Estheni that this road, which connects the city of Rome with the kingdom of Aceni, was built to strengthen the link between our city of Rome and your kingdom of Aceni.

As long as this road is built, we in Rome will be able to send more food and other resources to you, helping you to recover your strength as soon as possible, and this road will greatly expand the scale of trade between us.

Your kingdom of Esceni is rich in natural resources, and our city of Rome is blessed with fine goods made by skilled craftsmen, and with the construction of roads, our trade will grow on a larger scale, which will also promote our mutual development.

Of course, I will not deceive you that there is a necessary military purpose for our Roman city to advocate the construction of this road, that is, we in Rome want to deal with the military threat from the southern Vits tribes together with you, the kingdom of Aceni. ”

"The military threat of the Werther tribe?" The nobles of the Essini Kingdom were naturally unaware of the strength of the southern Witt tribe, but they did not understand what the construction of the road between the Roman city and the Essini Kingdom had to do with the Witte tribe?

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the Essini Kingdom was strong in the past, it was naturally impossible for the equally powerful Werther tribe to take the initiative to invade your Essini Kingdom, but does the current Essini Kingdom still have the military strength to compete with the Werther tribe?

What's more, there is no Cangluo River to separate the Essini Kingdom from the Werther tribe as a moat, so in the future, once the Werther tribe perceives the weakening of your Essini Kingdom, their possible military invasion is almost inevitable.

In order to prevent this from happening, we in Rome advocated the construction of this road, which would not only connect the city of Rome with the kingdom of Aetheni, but also extend south to the border area between the kingdom of Estheni and the Vitus tribe, and build a fortress there. ”

"Governor of White Peak, you mean that the army of Rome City under your command will follow this newly built road and enter the border area between our Essini Kingdom and the Witt tribe to help our Essini Kingdom prevent the invasion of the Witte tribe, right?"

The impulsive Assam ignored Nabazani's dissuasive eyes, and directly questioned Bai Feng, who was sitting on the top seat, in an extremely indignant tone;

However, Queen Boudicca's face was not aimed at Bai Feng, she was dissatisfied with Assam's questioning attitude, and Queen Boudicca, who was about to reprimand Assam, was held down by Bai Feng under the table.

"General Assam, I know that you may be dissatisfied with my statement, and even think that this is a conspiracy by our Roman city to station its troops in the kingdom of Aceni, but I would like to ask you, do you think that the kingdom of Essini can resist the army of our Roman city?

If the city of Rome really wants to destroy your Acenian kingdom, then I will annihilate you and the army of General Nabazani as early as the annihilation of Francis's army, and in that case, will there still be the Acenian kingdom?

Since we in Rome have decided to support Queen Boudicca's rule over the Aceni Kingdom, then the Aceni Kingdom under the rule of Queen Boudicca will become our trusted ally, and you can refuse to garrison the border, but we do not insist on it. ”

Sitting in a high position for a long time has made Bai Feng accustomed to the obedience of the generals, and Assam's face-to-face questioning did not really anger Bai Feng, but it made Bai Feng feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, and his originally smiling face became extremely grim.

Bai Feng's words made the atmosphere in the council hall suddenly become solemn, and even Assam himself realized that his actions just now were so impulsive, but helplessly, the others had no intention of relieving him.
