"Why did you arrest me? Leonie, you are but the head of a weak clan, what right do you have to detain me! ”

"Because you and the Romans have disregarded the lives of tens of thousands of tribal warriors, I have the right to detain you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Felix was going south to Gaul in the early hours of the next morning, and after applying for the consent of the great chiefs of the Suebi tribes, Leonie immediately led people directly to the tribal camp where they were preparing to defect, and arrested Felix, the leader of the Sintre people, in the astonished eyes of everyone. Also arrested were several elders of the tribe who were in charge. The Germanic alliance has always been about freedom and equality, and all tribes are free to fight, and now, Leonie's actions have undoubtedly broken this tacit understanding and tradition. Felix snarled and struggled.

"What proof do you have with the Romans? I'm the leader of the Hinterre clan, I can go wherever I want, I volunteered to go to war in the first place, and now, even if I want to quit, you have no right to stop me! ”

Felix asked, standing in front of Leonie and ranting loudly. Had it not been for the Germanic guards holding his arm, the tall tribal leader would have knocked down the swaggering Leonie in front of him with a single punch. However, despite the strong resistance of the clan elders and Felix, Leonie took the people directly to the tribal tent. Here, the leaders of seven or eight other tribes were arrested at the same time, but the Hinterre tribe was the largest of these tribes.

It wasn't until he was captured in the tribal tent that Felix learned that the arrest had actually been approved by the tribal assembly, and that the Romans had promised not only their own land, but also other tribal lands and livestock, which led to today's scene. However, Felix still insisted on his principle of freedom to participate in the war, and even after leaving the tribe, he did not do anything unfavorable to the tribe, so in front of many elders and chieftains of the Suebi Alliance, Felix still held his head high and glared angrily ahead.

"Felix, leader of the tribe of Cintre, strong as a buffalo, we have brought you here today, not to detain you, nor to attack you and your people, but only to show you the treacherous plot of the Romans, who, like you, are the heads of eight tribes, all of whom have been equally tempted by the Romans, to take their benefits, and to move south to live in a new land, and yet, I tell you, the Romans have promised you the same land! Yes, the land is very fertile, with many cattle and sheep, but when they get there, they will find that the Romans have not fulfilled their promises to you, at most only half of them, and you have lost the strength to resist. ”

Among the dozens of Suebi tribal leaders sitting in the tribal tent, Costabia, the patriarch of the Makmani people, was the first to stand up and said to Felix in a strange way. In the tribal alliance, Costabia can be said to be an exception, he does not rule his own tribe by brute force like the leaders of other tribes, but he rules his tribe and army by wisdom, and he often does not see any weapons by his side, but the people of the tribe are very afraid of this cunning leader.

"But how can I trust you? Costabia? Your cunning words can control your tribe, but not me. Also, today, even if the Romans had not promised me any land, I would have gone south to occupy that land, and my people had no advantage in this war, and I had to find a place for them to live, for I and my people had shed too much blood for this war. ”

In the face of Costabia's words, Felix replied-for-tat. And the next moment, he could see the angry looks of the patriarchs of the Suebi Alliance present, and they were almost about to rush up and tear him apart. And the more this happened, the more Felix felt that it was the right decision for him to leave the Great Clan Alliance, and the Suebi would not share any of his interests in the war, and every time he fought, he and the weak tribes present rushed ahead, bleeding.

However, before the people of Suewei could stand up and question, a weak figure in the crowd stood up again, and made a crisp and bright sound, and Leonie stood in the center of the tent and made a crisp sound with her fingers, signaling that the hostages should be brought up.

Then, the Celtic who had been beaten and bruised was brought up, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them with curiosity, and it was obvious that the incident provoked by Leonie was lively to watch, and these Suebi tribal leaders were accustomed to this kind of scene.

"Don't question Costabia, Patriarch Hinterre, see, you want proof, and that's what I brought you. From him, my people found letters from the Romans, as well as silver coins. It was a coin used only by the Romans. It bears the portrait of the Cruel (Caesar). And, after a night of torture, this Roman spy has confessed that he had infiltrated our camp and bribed the elders of your tribe. ”

Leonie said, walking over and kicking the wounded Celtic in the forehead. The wounded Celtic messenger immediately cried out in pain, and the leaders of the Germanic tribes present laughed gloatingly, like a group of butchers waiting to disembowel their prey.

The Celts lay on the ground, dying. Felix, on the other hand, had nothing to say.

"In fact, you don't have to hide your actions and motives, Patriarch Felix. Your original intentions and motives are not wrong, you want to seek a land for your people to settle on, you want to end this life of displacement, you want what each of us wants. But you chose the wrong person to work with, you should not trust the Romans, cooperate with the Romans, and promise them seemingly good terms. What happens if you agree to their terms? Let me tell you. The Romans will not embarrass you at first, because they have to fight against the rest of the tribes, and one day, our alliance will be divided by them little by little, step by step, and our war will be lost, and then the Romans will remember you, the land and interests that he once left behind. At that time, Rome will rule your tribe like our neighbors, and it will demand taxes from you and your people, cattle and sheep, and even women. The Roman GIs could even rape* your women and children on your territory if they wanted to. This is the Romans. At that point, do you have the strength to resist? No, once you resist, Patriarch Felix, Rome will send an army, slaughter your patriarch, and burn your village. And you, then, no longer have allies. ”

Leonie said, walking beside Felix, her account of the destruction of her homeland by the Romans in the past, of what she had seen years ago......
