Queen Boudicca was not surprised that Bai Feng was able to call her name, who had made the more than 8,000 soldiers of the Aceni tribe have become prisoners of the army of Rome, Bai Feng wanted to know these most basic things could not be easier.
Just now, Bai Feng was shocked by the youth of Queen Boudicca, after really seeing Bai Feng, Queen Boudicca's youth was incredible, however, the eight-year queen journey had already honed Boudicca's tempered favor and was not shocked, she only shrank her pupils when Bai Feng spoke, and nothing else showed it.
It wasn't until Bai Feng finished speaking that she met Bai Feng's expectant eyes expressionlessly, and said in a voice without the slightest emotion: "Our Aceni tribe has completely failed this time, and as the queen of the Aceni tribe, I can only admit our failure."
And the loser is not in any position to make demands! Even so, I hope that you will spare General Eggers of our Aceni tribe, and that I will grant you any conditions as long as you can spare him!"
"Are you sure it's any condition?" Hearing Queen Boudicca's confession, Bai Feng glanced at the good-looking Queen Boudicca with slightly frivolous eyes, her figure was really proud of ordinary people!
Frankly speaking, the appearance of this Queen Boudicca is not a stunning beauty, compared to the charming and moving Yue'er and the alluring Binglan, but she exudes a high-ranking queen temperament, which makes men easy to be impulsive.
Coupled with her convex figure and hot personality, Bai Feng has to admit that such a woman is still very tempting, which is why Bai Feng teased her during the negotiation, it is indeed Bai Feng who did not hold back!
"Yes, I'm talking about any conditions! As long as you are willing to release General Eggers, even if you want to get me, you can, but before that you must release General Eggers and return to the East Coast, and I will stay here with you for the night!"
"Hehe, this, forget it. I was just joking, and I ask Her Majesty not to take it personally. Such a sharp answer, even Bai Feng's cheekiness couldn't bear it, so he had to laugh twice and quickly change the topic.
Of course, if it weren't for Yue'er's face becoming gloomy just now, maybe Bai Feng would really be able to continue to tease this domineering Majesty, considering Yue'er's existence, Bai Feng could only obediently talk about serious things.
"Actually, in the final analysis, the war between our Roman city and your tribe was provoked by your tribe itself, and if it were not for the cavalry of your tribe who took the lead in attacking our Roman city, we would not have fought this war with your tribe out of self-preservation.
Now the war has come to this point, and our army of Rome has defeated the army of your Aceni tribe in both battles, and even the commander of your Aceni tribe army has become a prisoner of our Roman city.
In such a situation, you Essini tribe will have to pay a certain price, otherwise, the victory of our Roman city will be meaningless, Your Majesty, are you willing to pay the price for defeat?"
After the official start of negotiations, Bai Feng avoided talking about the invasion of the Essini tribe when talking about this war, and only used the previous cavalry conflict as the cause of the war, which can be regarded as shrinking this war, and Queen Boudicca naturally understood Bai Feng's deep meaning.
Although Queen Boudicca didn't understand why Bai Feng, as the victor, did this, she still had no choice but to deliberately welcome the captured Eggers in order to save the captured Eggers as much as possible:
"As the victorious side of the war, your city naturally has the conditions to make any demands on us, and since we Essini tribes have been defeated, we will not run away from the price we should pay, as long as we can do it, we will do it as much as possible. ”
"Well, Queen Boudicca is a cheerful person, so I'll be honest. After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Feng immediately smiled and slapped his hands to praise Queen Boudicca's cheerfulness, and then he went straight to the point and said:
"Our city of Rome has also paid a terrible price in this war, especially the soldiers who stopped the southward cavalry of your Aceni tribe, and their casualties were no less than your cavalry.
If you Esseni tribe do not pay some price for this battle, then I will not be able to convince the soldiers who have won the bloody battle, so I ask that you Escini tribe become a vassal tribe of our Roman city!
As long as you Esseni tribe is willing to become a vassal tribe of our Roman city, we will release all your captured soldiers unconditionally, including General Eggers, whom Her Majesty values very much, and our city of Rome will not enslave your Essini tribe.
This can be attested to by the countless soldiers from various tribes under the command of our Roman city, and after you Esini tribe becomes a vassal of our Roman city, you can not only trade with our Roman city, but also enjoy all kinds of free assistance from our Roman city.
And the price you need to pay is to provide a certain number of mercenary warriors to our city of Rome, and even if these mercenary warriors are hired by our city of Rome, we will pay them and your tribe for hiring them, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Seeing that the Aceni tribe was gone, Bai Feng put forward the long-awaited request in his heart, that is, to make Queen Boudicca's Aceni tribe the second vassal tribe of Roman City!
Once Queen Boudicca agrees to White Peak's request, White Peak will be able to extend his Roman power to the east bank of the Cangluo River, and when the port of Rome is completed, White Peak will officially march on the entire Aceni tribe when the Roman city port is completed.
Queen Boudicca's Aceni tribe is just a force in the complete Acenian tribe, compared to the other large number of Acenian tribe split forces, Queen Boudicca's force is not strong, but Bai Feng hopes that they can become a springboard for Rome City to enter the Aceni tribe, which is the key to Bai Feng's plan.
"We Esseni tribes can become vassals of your Roman city, but we Esceni tribes must retain their own army and independence, and your Roman city must protect our tribe when our Aceni tribe is attacked by the enemy. ”
This time, Queen Boudicca did not answer Bai Feng directly, but fell into her own contemplation, and Bai Feng did not urge her, and after less than a moment of contemplation, Queen Boudicca gave Bai Feng an answer that made Bai Feng extremely satisfied.
