137. Gray-robed girl
"Since the Huns already have a territory in the north, there is no problem for Pannonia to give us the Gepids, right?" ”
Aldarik's face was a little stiff, he knew that it was not good for him to turn his face like this now, but the pressure of public opinion in the country was very high, and he could not compromise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Feng's face was also a little pale, it was not good for him to refuse, and it was not good to accept it.
No, he had to fight the mighty Gepids, and while the other barbarians might help the Papal army, it would definitely be detrimental to the weakened Huns who were in a dangerous situation.
Accept that his prestige on the side of the Huns will plummet, and the image of the Holy See will become weak and deceitful, which is the deadliest of all, more terrible than everything. So Ye Feng would rather die than accept it.
So, is there only one war after all? Ye Feng thought of it, he stood up and said:
"Between countries, the most powerful diplomatic word is the sword and the sword! I thought I could have avoided World War I, but war seemed inevitable. ”
Speaking of this, Aldarik's head also lowered, after all, Ye Feng was also his old friend. Friendship between friends and the interests of the country must sometimes be subordinated to the interests of the state.
Aetius was a good friend of Attila's, and Aetius sobbed silently when he learned of Attila's death.
Ye Feng continued: "However, the war will definitely not be a civil war! ”
Ye Feng turned his back and circled the map in front of him, the northern part of the Balkan Peninsula was drawn, the vast area north of the Rhodope Mountains and south of the Danube River was inadvertently decided by a big hand.
Ye Feng said: "These lands can be given to the Gepid people, and the spoils will be divided by us, this time we will point our swords at Constantinople, this immortal fortified city!" will also surrender to the hooves of our horses! ”
Ye Feng didn't wait for Aldaric to answer, so he said to everyone with a smile: "How is it?" Are you still happy with your plan? The entire rich region of Eastern Rome will be at our mercy! Like a child, haha! ”
With the exception of Ardarik, all the other barbarian leaders shouted loudly, "Oooo ”
Aldaric was in a dilemma, but finally agreed. In the end, Aldaric persuaded the greedy people to come to the comfort and warmth of the Balkans.
The goal of this march changed abruptly, and the goal was Constantinople. And the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Marcian, was still innocently staying in his splendid palace, smiling.
I didn't know that a catastrophe for the Eastern Roman Empire was imminent.
Ye Feng rode his horse slowly, the sound of horses' hooves behind him shook the sky, and there were also slow infantry, and the footsteps were rattling. The powerful military appearance, a total of more than 100,000 troops, walking on the vast land, but it is like a handful of yellow sand in the desert, insignificant.
Ye Feng looked at Aldarik, who looked sorry and hesitant beside him, but he smiled quietly in his heart. Ye Feng generously said to Aldarik: "Don't worry, my friend! Enjoy this trip to the fullest! It's going to be fun. ”
Aldaric nodded, not speaking, but there was still a hint of apology in his heart.
Moving on, there was a mountain range, and the cavalry, in order to preserve the physical strength of the horses, dismounted one after another, led the horses and walked with the infantry.
The mountains are undulating, the mountains are continuous, the tall mountains are like giants, trying to keep the army out, and the army still maintains its passion and blood in the difficult journey.
After a difficult march, the troops finally crossed the Carpathians and reached the plains of Pannonia.
In the wooden palace of Attila, the Patriarch of Pannonia, the black-clothed archbishop of Pannonia, greeted the apostle Ye Feng with a smile on his face. Ye Feng also returned with a bright smile.
The wooden palace is simply decorated, there is nothing else except simple daily necessities, and it is unbelievably simple, if it is said that it is a palace, it is better to say that it is a front-line command post.
The simple wooden palace is not large, it has the simple virtues of the steppe, and it is definitely not like the Roman palace, pompous and extravagant, luxurious and atmospheric, it is a simple setting that cannot be simpler.
An ordinary hall, a simple kitchen, a modest bedroom. There are also swords full of war, hanging from wooden walls, and scaly iron armor hanging from wooden shelves. and a Hungarian steel sword purchased from a merchant, glittering and full of power.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the wooden palace. As a result of the riots, all of the Hun king's cronies fled the palace, leaving only an empty court, but not exactly, one of the daughters of the Hun king Attila remained in the palace because of her kind personality and her devout faith.
So Garfield and the fanatical believers did not embarrass her, but gave her good care and let her be treated like a princess. When Ye Feng met this pious female believer, Garfield made a special statement about her piety.
Ye Feng couldn't help but have some expectations for her, in Ye Feng's plan, he originally planned to support Deng Ji Xiqi, a puppet, to serve as the king of the Huns, and then indirectly control the Huns himself, but Deng Ji Xiqi was even more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
He alone led six legions of 30,000 men belonging to him, wandering through the Pannonian steppes, plundering everywhere. Became a group of thieves. And his power is still very large.
Ye Feng has not taken over the Huns so far, although many believers blindly obey the orders of the church, but many middle and high-level Huns have never forgotten the glory brought to them by the Hun King Attila.
At this time, as long as Deng Jisiqi gave an order, it was very likely that these middle and high-level Hun nobles would encourage the commoners to rebel, and if the barbarian alliance dissipated and did not have the strength to suppress these uneasy Huns, the situation would be very dangerous.
Attila had many children, and Kiri was just one of them because of his large harem, and when the fanatics rioted, she firmly believed in her faith and was spared, but in fact she had a reputation for piety.
She is not a weak princess, but a noble warrior.
She strictly obeyed the precepts of the Holy Text, rode a horse and archery, and possessed superb riding skills and exquisite archery skills.
When Qili knelt in front of Ye Feng, Qili's heroic appearance really made Ye Feng's heart move, as a person who has been marching and almost forgetting the appearance of a woman, seeing such a golden ratio figure and a girl with a delicate face, it is inevitable that there will be a little throbbing in his heart.
Ye Feng looked at Qili's eyes with holy eyes, Qili was dressed in a black gray robe with a tight waist and chest, which looked even more charming, and there was a faint fragrance, so that Ye Feng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
