"So we can only give in and obey Rome's will to ensure that we will not suffer a fatal blow in the future." Shen Pei said with a touch of sadness.
Feeling Shen Pei's sadness, Jiang Qi was obviously a little disappointed. At this moment, Jiang Qi's peripheral vision inexplicably observed that Shen Pei's figure was a little blurry. However, when he looked closer, he found that it was just his own vision that had some blurry appearance.
question.
"What's wrong?" Shen Pei asked casually.
"My eyes were dazzled just now, and I saw that the figure of the military advisor was blurry." Jiang Qi said casually without realizing it. The judge was startled, and then smiled, "Your eyes!"
[After all, it is only my will. It cannot be sad or perfect. Whether it is the loss of ideals and the excitement of fulfilling dreams and taking off, it will dissipate. Now is not the time.] The trial match greeted Jiang Qi to leave, and then silently adjusted himself
mentality.
"Pope, you seem to be in a bad mood?" The guard in knight armor raised his sword and looked at the absent-minded female pope who had finished praying and asked in confusion.
"The Romans are going to win again." The female pope whispered, "Where should we hide next time? Why are they so strong and getting stronger."
As one of the first nations in the history of the world to possess iron tools, the Celts were not as bad as the barbarians.
After all, the Celts were one of the top civilizations in the world at a certain time, with religion, relatively complete animal husbandry, relatively complete agriculture, the world's top metal processing and manufacturing industry, as well as currency and simple handicrafts.
It can be said that it was entirely possible for the Celts to occupy the entire Mediterranean bathtub before Rome. However, no one can say for sure about destiny. The Celts, who clearly had all the prerequisites for civilization, bumped into Rome.
He successfully burned the city of Rome, trapped the Roman senators who escaped on seven hills, and hung all the Roman senators who did not escape on tree branches.
This is probably a turning point in history. In 390 BC, Rome was ravaged. After realizing its shame, it became brave and began to go against heaven.
The outline of the following story can almost be renamed Don't Bully the Young and the Poor. In short, before this day, Rome was just a salty fish at most. After this day, Rome seemed to have been given a genetic modification injection, and it really began to go against the will of heaven. The whole process
God blocks and kills God, cheating all the way.
There are three hundred people in the Senate, all of whom have exactly the same will. If their son doesn’t want it, if his grandson doesn’t want it, and if the whole family dies, they will die. With such a highly unified will, if Rome doesn’t contract the Mediterranean bathtub, who can?
So the Celts were in trouble. The Scythians could talk, the Germans could talk, the Teutons could talk, and the Anglos could talk, but you, the Celts, couldn't talk.
Such a large Celtic nation was severely maimed during the rise of Rome. At its peak, it had a population of more than three to four million, spread over half of Europe, and almost all of them were not hacked to death by the Romans. But now
, the Celtics have less than 300,000 left.
Today's Celts have completely understood what Rome meant by the phrase "subjugation of the country and annihilation of the nation". There is no compromise, no surrender, only death.
What's more important is that the Celts now have no capital to confront Rome. Even one or two single-digit Roman legions with their own auxiliaries are enough to annihilate this former overlord of Western Europe. Celts
People have reached the point of no return.
The guards of the Knights fell into endless silence when they heard this sentence. They looked at the Pope and didn't know what to say. This was no longer a gap that could be bridged by rhetoric. The Celtics' current size was even equivalent to that of the Slavs.
Servants are not qualified.
If the Slavs hadn't experienced the farce that followed, and their minds were still in a state of ignorance, and they regarded the Celtics as comrades who had fought with them, the Celtics' current size would have been comparable to other places in Europe.
Rome may also be annexed.
Because they are too weak, the entire race only has a total of 300,000 people. There are nearly a hundred barbarians of this size in Europe. Most of them are the leg hair of Roman dog legs. They are not even qualified to be Roman leg hair.
It's not enough, and the Celtics now bear the title of the three barbarians and the number two enemy of Rome. How ridiculous this is.
As an opponent, at least on the same level, are the current Celtics worthy of being enemies with Roma? No!
If her servility could make Rome let go of the Celts, the female pope was even willing to feed the tiger with her own body, but it was useless. The Celts sacrificed a warrior to go to Rome to sue for peace, but the Romans chopped off his head and threw it away.
.
Then the Roman Senate asked other barbarians to send a message to the female pope - a barbarian tribe of 300,000 people is rare in our Roman Empire? 30,000 blacksmiths who know how to cast, I, Rome, would rather not have them. The Roman sages are watching from the Seven Hills.
We have a blood feud that has lasted for six hundred years. Only if you die can we give an explanation to the sages buried under the seven hills.
Now that we have talked about it, there is no need to talk about it. However, if Rome is so tough, it also makes the female pope understand how weak they have become. For the current Rome, the Celts are casual.
You can press the ants to death.
How weak, how desperate, and the female pope, who had placed her will on all the heroes in the epic mythology, had to follow in the footsteps of those people and lead the Celts to find a way out.
For the survival of the race, pray to the Slavic barbarians that you once looked down upon. For the survival of the race, pray for Rome, which is your enemy. For the survival of the race, you may even commit yourself to others.
"Your Majesty, we can fight again!" After the female pope fell into thinking and paused for a long time, the knight in heavy armor knelt down and said solemnly.
"And then perish standing still?" the female pope asked softly, "Okay, you go on inspection, I will handle this kind of thing."
After driving the members of the Knights out, the young Pope stood and took off his hood. His original golden hair color had turned into dark purple, absorbing the mythological archetypes accumulated by the Celts in the past thousand years.
It's now fully understood.
As a price, the Celts would permanently lose the ability to summon heroes from myths. However, this is no longer important. The Lake of Goblins has long been filled in by Rome, and the Celts without a medium will also lose their ability to summon heroes from myths.
It is impossible to use this power out of thin air.
"Even if you already have the power of a demigod, it doesn't make any sense." The female pope sighed with the ball of light in her hand.
Even such a powerful force, which is effective for the unorganized barbarians at the bottom, has little value to the second level of the food chain. As for the Romans at the top of the food chain, this kind of power has no effect on war.
Influence.
"Sure enough, that man is right. Even if one's personal power reaches this level, it will be meaningless in the coming war. And the Celts..." The female pope recalled what Shen Pei had said.
, couldn't help but sigh.
The appearance of Shen Pei was indeed a shock to the female pope, because when Shen Pei came, she was sent by several Slavic clan chiefs. It was also at that time that the female pope knew that the Slavs had already taken refuge in the Yuan family and became the Yuan family.
's subordinates.
During this period, the female pope also secretly asked the Slavs, "You are not willing to take refuge in Rome, why should you take refuge in the Yuan family?"
The Slavs' answer was also very simple, "There is no benefit in taking refuge in Rome. We have to obey their orders and give them money, food and materials. The Yuan family gives us wine."
The female pope was very helpless with this answer. She always felt that the Slavs who were bribed by wine were really embarrassing. Then she secretly inquired twice and determined that the Yuan family was very strong, so she decided to help with the matchmaking. However, she was later judged and matched.
Killed back.
"You want us to provide protection?" Shen Ping looked at the female pope as if she was mentally retarded.
"Well, the Romans will attack sooner or later." The female pope looked at the judge sincerely.
"What does it have to do with me?" Shen Pei said with a sneer, "We, the Han Dynasty, have millions of troops. Even though the Roman Empire is powerful, it can only establish diplomatic relations with us on an equal footing."
"We can be your subjects." The female pope said sincerely.
"Oh, what's the use of you?" The judge dismissed the Celtics as worthless two or three times, and they were justified. At least the female pope was completely unable to explain the judge who had read the information before.
Of course, the original purpose of the trial match was to see if there was any advantage that Celtic could take advantage of. He was also mentally prepared for Rome to call and give Celtic an explanation first. After all, he was not one of our own, so the trial partner
There is no pressure at all.
However, after arriving, I found that this small tribe really had no future. It was okay except for iron smelting and casting. However, this kind of thing is okay among barbarians. Compared with the current level of the Han Dynasty, forget it, don't be embarrassed.
The Han Dynasty was now engaged in large-scale iron and steel making.
Therefore, Shen Pei was already mentally prepared to sell the Celts to Rome. Anyway, it would definitely delay time, and for the sake of the Han Dynasty, Rome would definitely study it. Although according to Shen Pei's estimation, even if
The Celtics have been sold, and the Romans will definitely have to fight, but they can delay it for at least a month or two.
After a brief scan of Celtic, except for a half-broken legion that can still be used, the rest are miscellaneous soldiers. As for the soldiers other than soldiers, they can't be on the stage. Naturally, the trial match is much tougher, and it is so weak.
There's no point in talking about the level, just sell it to Roma to buy time.
Unfortunately, subsequent developments made Shen Pei give up on this idea. The girl in front of him, who did not show any aura, was a world-breaking master and very strong.
"The Celts have no way out. The Romans will not let you go. We don't need the subjects. The subjects can be sold if they can't be protected. We need our own people. Choose." Shen Ping's body bloomed with a smile.
He looked at the girl with an imposing manner no less than that of the Pope.
