"Betrayal? You may be overestimating my position within the Dart tribe, how could the Dart tribe, one of the three most powerful tribes in the Eastern Alliance, make a slave-born person the upper class?
My father was the leader of a tribe that was annexed by them when the Eastern Alliance was just rising, and he became the ghost of the Dart tribe because of his freedom, and our entire tribe became a slave of the Dart tribe, and as the son of the leader, I am no exception.
Helplessly, my fairly sober mind and barely able cultivation talent were valued by the leaders of the Dart tribe, and as a result, I went from being a dirty slave to a chieftain's attendant, while I spent more time serving the chief's son.
With the continuous expansion of the Eastern Alliance, the strength of the other tribes of the Eastern Alliance has become stronger and stronger, and the hegemony of the Dart tribe in the Eastern Alliance has gradually been attacked by other tribes, and this situation is not what the leader of the Dart tribe wants to see.
However, he could not stop the rise of other tribes, and in desperation, he could only give full play to the advantages of his tribe in the number of troops as much as possible, and expand the scope of his tribe's rule by attacking from all sides, so as to enhance his own strength.
The gentleman I served was also the son of a chief, and was rightfully appointed commander of an army all the way, but how could he command an army when he only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry?
In order not to die in the chaos, I could only help him to reorganize his army and win the war, and he chose to reuse me because of this, and I was approved by his father.
For the next few years, I remained his lieutenant until a little more than a month ago when we were sent to the south bank of the Cangluo River, and this time I was still the lieutenant general of the army, and the son of the leader was still the chief of the army, the one you had slain. ā
Bronno's explanation was as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, but Bai Feng could tell the truth from the expressions of the other three, but from his description, Bai Feng couldn't see anything wrong at all.
"General Bronno, according to what you just described, the relationship between you and the Dart tribe should be regarded as a father-killing feud, but it seems that you have nothing else to do except this accident, why is that person still so resentful of you just now?"
"Do you think that the generals of the Dat tribe, who think very highly of themselves, will sincerely obey the orders of a general who used to be a slave? Or do you think the Dat tribe will really give power to a slave?
To put it nicely, I have always been the lieutenant general of the son of the leader of the Dat tribe, and to put it mildly, I am just a retainer of the son of the leader of the Dat tribe, and no one from the Dart tribe really takes me seriously, even those ordinary warriors.
Even if I am a nominal lieutenant with no real power, I am still a nominal lieutenant, which is enough to make the proud and arrogant Dart tribesmen uncomfortable, especially those who sit in the position of general, and regard me as a thorn in the flesh, which is normal.
If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have the strength to stand up to the few guards that the leader of the Dart tribe had placed with his son, how could I have stayed in the Dart tribe until today, but now I'm finally free from the Dat tribe, haven't I?
Frankly, your army has killed the eldest son of the most important leader of the Dart tribe on the battlefield today, and as soon as the news reaches the Dart tribe, the war between the Dart tribe and you will become a real battle to the death, and you should be prepared in advance.
Otherwise, when the Dat tribe has free up their hands, you will not have a chance to prepare again, and with the combat strength of your army, you will need at least 150,000 troops to resist the attack of the Dat tribe, and I remind you of this. ā
"Boy, what are you? Just because you are a prisoner, you are also qualified to evaluate the combat effectiveness of our army, if you are really so powerful, why can't you defeat us?" As soon as Brono's words were finished, Licinius, who was full of displeasure, directly opened his mouth to mock.
This is not to blame Licinius, anyone who hears these words from the mouth of the defeated and captured enemy general will be unhappy, but Bai Feng still stretched out his hand to stop Licinius's taunt, and after Licinius retreated, Bai Feng asked Brono:
"General Bronno, I have two small questions for you to answer: first of all, the first question, in addition to your 50,000 troops south of the south, how many troops are left in the rear of the Dat tribe south of the Cangluo River?
The second question is, what do you mean by waiting for the Dat tribe to free up their hands, can I understand that the current Dat tribe, and even the entire Eastern Alliance, are in some kind of predicament, and they will not be able to intervene in the affairs of the south bank of the Cangluo River in a short period of time?"
"You're more shrewd than I thought!" Hearing Bai Feng's two questions, Bronno just smiled slightly, then first praised Bai Feng, and then adjusted his arm that had been tied for a long time, and replied to Bai Feng:
"Before we crossed the Cangluo River with our army, the Eastern Alliance, which had been in a state of outward expansion, had already formed a military confrontation with the powerful Luxi tribe, and it was said that several minor clashes had broken out later, which I am not very clear.
It was not until five days ago that several messengers from the Dat tribe arrived at our camp with the shocking news that ten days earlier a full-scale war had broken out between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe.
In order to deal with the military threat of the Luxi tribe, all the eighteen tribes of the entire Eastern Alliance were closely united, and almost all the outward expansion of the Eastern Alliance's army was assembled at the border with the Luxi tribe, and even we were asked to lead our troops back immediately.
As a result, our great general was not willing to give up the opportunity to make an easy contribution on the south bank of the Cangluo River, so he sent only 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry back, and then he left only 6,000 men in the rear, and continued to march south with 50,000 troops himself. ā
After the information obtained by the Roman light cavalry was personally confirmed by the enemy's adjutant general, Bai Feng's face finally showed an excited smile, and the faces of the other generals in the military tent were also full of excitement, and even the corners of Eggers' mouth rose slightly.
With only 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry left, the enemy had no chance of turning the tables under the attack of the three legions of the Roman army; the initial victory in this war belonged to the Roman army, and the defeat of the enemy army could no longer be avoided.
Bai Feng, who tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, once again looked at Bronno with his curious eyes: can this general with a bumpy fate become another general in Rome City?
