When something is perfect, it suffers and joys more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, not only Bai Feng was very interested in the situation of the Essini tribe, but even the other Roman generals in the military tent were also interested in the distribution of power on the east bank of the Cangluo River, especially Bazel and Gatus, who later joined the Roman city.
For the various tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River, they have always known very little about the Essini tribe on the east bank of the Cangluo River, and they don't even know how powerful the Essini tribe really is except for the frequent invasion of the Aesini tribe.
It wasn't until the Essini tribes invaded the tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River during the time of Plasus, that the tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River, led by Bazer, began to really learn something about the Essini tribe, but it was extremely limited.
Later, after the end of the brutal five-year war, the divided Essini tribe completely distanced itself from the Cangluo River, and the independent Essini tribe forces returned to the hinterland on the east bank of the Cangluo River, and the tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River naturally no longer knew the situation of the Aceni tribe.
If it weren't for some small merchants who traveled between the east and west banks of the Cangluo River and some inconsequential news, I am afraid that Bazel would not have known that the Aceni tribe had split into several independent forces;
The weak tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River simply did not have the ability to build large-scale ships across the Cangluo River, and they naturally had to limit their sphere of influence to the west bank of the Cangluo River, which was also a reality determined by their own development potential.
Now it is rare to have one of the forces of the Aceni tribe from the east bank of the Cangluo River, willing to explain to you in detail the specific situation of the Aceni tribe on the east bank of the Cangluo River.
"Ever since the failure of our Aceni tribe's westward expansion eight years ago, my father, King Prasus, has been betrayed by my three elder brothers and three other generals, who have left my father's army at night.
Because of their collective departure, my father, who had lost a lot of strength, had no choice but to lead his loyal men and warriors back eastward, but unfortunately, his health did not survive enough for him to return to his homeland, and my father died on the way east.
Before my father died, he passed his throne to me, and the 10,000 elite cavalry led by General Nelson was his last legacy, and then, with the assistance of General Eggers and General Nelson, I ascended to the position of queen of the Aceni tribe.
After becoming queen of the Aceni tribe, I did not continue my father's plan to move eastward, but chose to lead my people to stop and reclaim the land and start a new life, which was undoubtedly more advantageous at the time than moving eastward.
Not long after my three elder brothers and three other generals returned to the hinterland with their combined forces, they quickly split into six separate forces, and when they learned of their father's death, they fought with each other for dominance.
For more than seven years, these six forces fought against our entire Aceni tribe, countless warriors died in the civil war, and more old and weak women and children were displaced, and even reduced to food for wild beasts.
My tribal camp, on the other hand, has been fully developed in the past seven years, and with the fact that we have taken in a large number of refugees, our own strength has grown rapidly, and it is no exaggeration to say that by the time the war was fought, our tribe was already the most powerful.
Seeing that my tribe was growing stronger, my three elder brothers hoped to help them fight for the ruler by wooing me, but I refused to do so, only to invite the three of them to join forces to attack.
Unsuspecting, we suffered heavy losses and had to retreat westward under their attack, and after retreating westward to the Cangluo River, the existential crisis of our tribe finally broke out.
Although our tribe still has 50,000 or 60,000 warriors, more than 100,000 old, weak, women and children in our tribe need food; hunting alone can no longer meet our food needs, and in order to survive we can only attack the tribes on the west bank of the Cangluo River. ”
At this point, Queen Boudicca did not go on, in fact she did not need to continue, and all that happened next, the people in the tent were first-hand witnesses, and all they wanted to know was what had happened before.
After listening to Queen Boudicca's story, Bai Feng had to admit in his heart that Queen Boudicca's experience was indeed quite pitiful; her three brothers were really shameless to a certain extent, and they even joined forces to attack their sister for the sake of profit, which is simply inferior to a beast!
Thinking of his sister, Bai Feng thought of his younger sisters in the Bai family, the gentle and lovely Bai Rou, the shy and introverted Xiao Wu Bai Han, and the brutal and cute Xiao Qi Bai Ling'er, are they okay now?
I hadn't seen these people for more than half a year, and suddenly remembered that their Bai Feng's heart was also sour, and then he saw Queen Boudicca standing alone below, a feeling of pity arose spontaneously from the bottom of Bai Feng's heart, and he comforted Queen Boudicca with rare tenderness:
"Boudicca, let the past pass, in the future your Essini tribe will have our city of Rome to rely on, and I can assure you that as long as our city of Rome exists, your Esine tribe will not be bullied by anyone!
Tonight we will rest in this camp for a while, and tomorrow morning you will return to Rome with 10,000 warriors of your Aceni tribe, and I will first provide you with enough food for a month's needs of 100,000 men.
In addition, the wooden boats you used to cross the Cangluo River are still too dilapidated, and in the future, we in the city of Rome will organize large-scale warships to help you transport supplies, and I will help you avenge the three brothers who have attacked you one by one!"
"Governor Bai Feng, you, why are you suddenly so good to me?" Looking at Bai Feng with a tender face, Queen Boudicca really couldn't understand why the person in front of her changed so quickly, you must know that everyone was still a mortal enemy on the battlefield before!
Don't say that Queen Boudicca felt very confused, even the generals of Rome City in the military tent couldn't understand Bai Feng's mind at all; only the moon hidden in Bai Feng's body and experiencing Bai Feng's life in the Bai family did he understand what Bai Feng was thinking at this time.
"Boudicca, don't call me the Governor of Baifeng in the future, just call me Baifeng, you and I are allies, you really don't need to be too angry with me. Bai Feng, who didn't answer the question, smiled again and said something shocking.
