Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 391 Conditions

Since the enemy's formation is very dense, these arrows can always hit some enemies.

The Anglos and Saxons also began to fight back unceremoniously, throwing javelins at the enemy.

But the range of their javelins was too short and was not as good as bows and arrows.

Moreover, the number of javelins was small, and they were all thrown quickly.

After discovering this, some Armenian cavalry carried out focused attacks on some areas, constantly consuming their javelins, and soon exhausted their javelins, and then launched attacks on them unscrupulously.

Some Numidian cavalry also joined their ranks. They also attacked from both sides, but they threw javelins.

Their javelins are powerful and heavy, and can easily pierce the enemy's shield and cause damage to the enemy.

The injured Angles and Saxons were soon frightened and angry. Their javelins had been used up, and they could only passively withstand the enemy's attack.

Some people left the formation in anger and charged at the Numidian cavalry with short spears. The Germans these days are all violent and do not understand what military discipline is.

Seeing this, the cavalrymen were overjoyed. They surrounded them one after another and annihilated the enemies who had left the formation.

El and Taiti were extremely angry. These damn cavalry had killed so many of their tribesmen. Why didn't their reinforcements come yet?

Belius had a cunning smile on his face. He was like a wolf king, commanding the wolves to hunt.

As long as the enemy's weakness is torn out, he will command the cavalry to launch a tidal wave of attacks against the enemy.

But what made him hesitate was whether the enemy would really send reinforcements.

At this moment, a cavalry captain ran over on a war horse.

"Report to the lieutenant that the Sbebe army has been dispatched and is rushing towards this direction."

"Really? I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be right."

Bellius said.

If it hadn't been for Li Wei's reminder, he might have sent people to launch a full-scale attack at this time.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!"

Bellius shouted.

The passionate trumpet sounded, and the cavalry who had been launching a fierce offensive immediately retreated like a tide, and then quickly disappeared from their sight.

Seeing this, Taiti and El were relieved, and then they yelled angrily.

After being attacked by this round, their losses were too heavy.

The cavalry from all ethnic groups arrived one after another. Seeing the wailing Anglos and Saxons, all the German generals felt sad. Fortunately, the enemy's cavalry did not choose to attack themselves.

Wu Fa's face was ashen, the enemy's cavalry was too arrogant.

"How are your casualties?"

Wulfa asked.

"We suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and basically all the cavalry were killed."

El said with a dark face.

This expedition was really a big loss. Not only did more than half of the clan members suffer casualties, but they also caught nothing. He really would never come again next time.

"Don't worry, I have sent cavalry to hunt them down. I believe they will pay a heavy price."

Wu Fa consoled him.

"This is really great."

Taiti said innocently.

After a night's rest, the chasing cavalry rushed back one after another.

The enemy used Armenian cavalry to defeat them, but not only did they not gain any benefit, but many of the cavalry were injured by the enemy's arrows.

This made Wu Fa feel very depressed, and the morale of the entire army was extremely low.

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough food now. We really can't stay any longer unless you, Your Majesty, can provide us with food."

Taiti said.

"Yes, we have a long way home and we don't have enough food to eat. I hope your majesty can let us go back."

Another German general said.

Other German generals also said the same thing, and Wufa's face became increasingly ugly.

Thinking of what he had experienced these days, he finally spat out blood with a "wow" sound.

Seeing this, the German generals were shocked. Unexpectedly, Wufa actually vomited blood, and they all became quiet for a while.

"You bastards! How could you do this to His Majesty!"

A tribal chief of the Sibebi tribe said angrily.

The German generals were very embarrassed, but they didn't mind.

They all worship the strong, so don't blame them for looking down on him if he loses the battle.

Wufa gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand to stop the chief.

"This is all my fault. It was my command error and I failed to capture the enemy camp."

Wu Fa said, "Since everyone is eager to return home, I won't stop you. Everyone can go back now."

The German generals looked at each other and then took their leave, including the Anglo and Saxon tribes he came to rescue.

Seeing this, Wu Fa's face turned gloomy. He knew that from now on, his prestige would plummet, and it was unclear whether those German generals would still obey him.

Some chiefs of the Sibibe tribe started to curse, but Wufa waved his hand to tell them to stop cursing.

"Everyone, the current situation is very serious. If nothing goes as expected, Levi will be chasing our Sibebi army closely."

Wufa said.

Hearing this, the chiefs were a little panicked.

"This is how to do?"

someone asked.

After this battle, Sibebi's army suffered heavy losses. There are only about 70,000 soldiers capable of fighting now. Once the enemy attacks, they will be at an absolute disadvantage.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have sent people to contact the Kadi, Ubi and our tribe. They will send troops to pick us up along the way."

Wufa said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise and mighty. He has thought of this a long time ago."

said a tribal chief.

Wu Fa's face turned red, why are you trying to flatter me? At this moment, you insist on saying that I am wise and powerful. Isn't this just pointing at my nose and scolding me?

However, he knew that the tribal chief had no intention of doing so, and it was probably an unintentional mistake.

"Okay, let's head south at full speed, return to our tribe as soon as possible, and then assemble the army and fight again."

Wufa said.

Speaking of this, his face looked a little sad.

The enemy had all of Rome to provide supplies, and their tribes not only had to run for their own food, but also had to prepare their armies for war.

Over the course of this year, we don’t know how many people will starve to death.

The chiefs also thought about this, which made them look extremely unhappy.

One of the chiefs said: "It's better that we retreat to the black forest."

"You don't understand Levi. I can guarantee that if we retreat to the Black Forest, he will burn all the Black Forest."

Wu Fa said in a faint tone.

"How can this be?"

"Asshole! How could he do this!"

"If he really does this, we will fight them!"

"..."

The tribal chiefs were furious, as if a pot had exploded.

The Black Forest provided them with abundant food and their escape route.

If Levi burned the Black Forest, it would simply put them in a dead end.

"We'd better go back first, and we'll talk about other things later."

Wufa sighed and said.

The tribal chiefs responded one after another, and then left here together with their tribesmen.

In the Roman military camp, Li Wei was receiving envoys from the Teutonic tribes.

While the cavalry was moving south, Livi was not idle either. He sent people to negotiate with the Teutonic tribes, hoping that they would surrender to Rome.

After putting forward their own conditions, the Teutonic tribes quickly sent envoys to return the visit.

"Your Majesty, the greatest Roman general. Our three tribes are willing to maintain peace with Rome. The reason for the war between us is because of Wufa's order. I think this is just a misunderstanding."

The tall, powerful envoy looked at him and said, but his eyes were moving around, showing shrewdness from time to time, which gave people the impression of being unreliable at a glance.

"No! I think you made a mistake. What I want is not peace. If I were you to surrender to Rome, the whole of Germany would become Roman territory. You must obey the orders of the governor. Of course, we will abide by your traditions and ensure that you The tradition lasts forever.”

Levi shook his head and said.

Historically, the Germanic people have always scolded Rome for not respecting their traditions. Are they pretending to be fake even though they are getting benefits?

What good traditions did the Germanic people have at this time?

After losing the battle, a group of women ran forward and took off their tops. This tradition? Or maintain various barbaric customs of primitive society.

Since the Germanic people like to pretend to make others respect their traditions, Li Wei decided to sign a treaty with them so that they could maintain the customs of primitive society for thousands of years.

Seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence, isn't this what you have always wanted?

The envoy's expression did not change. Surrendering to Rome was nothing. After all, they also surrendered to Wufa.

There is little national consciousness at this time, and there is nothing wrong with surrendering after a defeat.

On the contrary, some people who lost to them suffered a worse fate, and almost all of them were killed.

Because they don't want prisoners or slaves, they just want territory, and the standard is to leave no land but no people, but he still intends to fight for some conditions for the three Teutonic tribes.

"Your Majesty, your conditions are really too much."

The messenger said with a serious face.

"which aspect?"

Levi said with a smile.

"all."

The messenger said very forcefully.

"So you're going to go to war with us."

Levi smiled.

Hearing this, the messenger's eyebrows jumped.

Now the Teutonic tribe is in trouble. If they can defeat the Romans, they will not mind giving the Romans a hard bite. The key is that they cannot win.

"Of course not! It is not impossible for us to surrender to Rome, but you need to defeat the Sbebes first to prove you."

The messenger said.

"No problem, I hope you will remain neutral during this period."

Levi said.

The messenger rolled his eyes, and then said: "You know this makes us very embarrassed. It is difficult for us to disobey Wu Fa's order unless you can show your sincerity."

Levi burst out laughing, this Germanic man is really cunning.

Now Wu Fadu can't protect himself, but he can still control them.

"What kind of sincerity? Do you want some food?"

Levi said with a half-smile.

This messenger was almost swallowed to death by him, how can you let him continue talking like this.

"Haha, I didn't expect that your eyes would be straight, your Majesty. It is indeed like this. But this is the compensation you Romans gave us. Not only did you burn down our clan, but you also killed so many people."

The messenger said with complicated eyes.

"Only the defeated countries have to pay compensation to the victorious countries. How can the victorious countries pay compensation to the defeated countries? When you three tribes went south and killed so many Romans, did you give us compensation?"

Levi said with a smile.

"We are not defeated yet!"

the messenger said angrily.

"Really? Then let's meet on the battlefield. Wu Fa's army has moved south, and this is a good opportunity for us to show off."

Levi said.

"Your Majesty, we are negotiating sincerely. Could you please stop mentioning war all the time?"

The messenger pretended to be dissatisfied and said.

He knew that if the Roman army really went north, the Teutonic tribe would probably be destroyed.

"The conditions I gave you will not change. Either agree or go to war."

Levi said coldly.

"you……"

The envoy was so angry that Livi was speechless, but he really did not have the courage to say such things as war with Rome.

"I know that you are short of food, and the true God is merciful. As the Pope, I can support you with some food in the name of the Holy Church. In return, you three tribes need to send soldiers to fight for me privately. I know this makes you very embarrassed, you Just fight for me after I defeat Sbebe’s army.”

Hearing this, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Romans had defeated Speybee's army, then there would be nothing wrong with surrendering to them.

"When will your food arrive?"

"After defeating Sibebe's army."

Levi smiled.

"..."

"Can you hurry up? We are in urgent need of a lot of food."

"Can't……"

After much discussion, the two sides agreed that before defeating Speybee's army, the Teutonic tribes needed to remain neutral, and the Roman army should not attack them.

After defeating Speibe's army, Livy should pay the Teutonic tribes enough rations for 100,000 people for a year.

In return, the Teutonic tribes need to send 30,000 troops to fight for Li Wei, during which all expenses will be borne by Li Wei, and the army should be paid salaries.

The envoy was very satisfied with this agreement.

In this way, the lives of many tribesmen can be saved, and fighting for the Romans can also make money, which is much better than fighting for Wulfa.

He is not a German who knows nothing, he certainly knows the value of money.

"Cheers to our cooperation."

Levi said, raising a glass of beer.

The Germans drink beer, but don’t like wine much.

"Cheers, you are a respectable majesty."

The messenger said sincerely.

"By the way, tell your generals. If they are willing to convert to the True God, then they will have the right to use God-given weapons. God-given weapons are weapons given to the Holy Religion by the True God. Only believers of the True God can use them. Otherwise, it is blasphemy. Will be punished by Rome."

Levi said.

"God-given weapons...is this true?"

The messenger's eyes were red.

The prestige of God-given weapons has long been known to everyone among the Teutonic tribes.

They didn't know how many people had died on this weapon. He never thought that they could also possess God-given weapons.

"Of course, I am the Pope of the Holy Religion."

Levi said with a smile.
