Chapter 24 The Priests of Fikiaris (Part 2)

Then Li Bida pointed and said that there were four million to the priests, warriors and the people of your tribe. As for the debts of your tribe, you don’t have to worry about them. In fact, I learned before coming that most of the debts were eventually attributed to one person’s name: I will do it for you, and I will exempt two-thirds of the debts, and the remaining one-third can be compensated by providing military service to Governor Caesar. I have calculated that as long as your tribe provides me with two thousand light cavalry, the lease period is half a year, or directly, as long as the day when the Helveti is defeated, I will repay them all. How about it?

Then Li Bida offered two conditions. One was that after the war was over, I could help your subordinates redeem the people who had sold to Rome one by one, of course, try to redeem those who were still alive; the other was that once the war was victorious against the Helvetis, His Excellency Caesar would allow you to be the "Roman ally". From then on, you and the nobles would gain citizenship and no longer have to worry about the threat of war and debt.

These conditions made Yadminiels lower his head and silent. At this time, Li Bida leaned forward and spoke earnestly, "Time is like a deer's vigorous pace. As a legion envoy, I came with the seal and documents of the Governor, but I would only stay in your division this time. Otherwise, such generous conditions would fall into the hands of other tribes. You have to know that there is a tribe named Belion who sends cheap or even free food to the legion camp all day, just to obtain an ally, if it were not for the importance of your division's geographical location..."

OK, OK. Yadminiels had to agree to the request in the end. After all, the bloody lesson three years ago was still in front of him. Even if he had resentment in his heart, his eyes still had to look forward. After reaching a package of agreement, Li Bida walked away with two thousand cavalrymen in Feilong City. Yadminiels, who was standing on the tower, suddenly felt something was wrong, but he still held Li Bida's gift to him in his private name, two cans of Greek country wine, and was unwilling to think too much. He sniffed at the omnipresent afternoon sunshine.

About two days later, at the tribal boundary mark of the Seiconi and the Alobrokis, teams of light riders moved in the distance from the sight of the Seiconi standing in front of the fields and huts.

This was Li Bida's request. Each hundred people were one team, three or four furlongs apart, and they were turning around again and again. As a result, at the boundary marker, everyone in Sequinny talked with the cavalry of the opposite tribe, "Why did you even agree to the Romans' request for war and join the Allies, but we and the Aduyi didn't move?"

The cavalry were reluctant to answer first, but later they were a little younger. They seemed to be unable to hold back their temper and replied: "The Roman legion envoy has come. This time it is really strange. He did not go to your tribe first, but came to us instead. Perhaps it was because he saw the Helvetis shamelessly harass us before, so that the agreement would be better reached."

"Hit? Hey. You have to make it clearer!"

"Oh my god, fellow villagers of the same species, the Helveti are the wolves with fangs in Lake Man. They have plundered many of our fields, granaries and towns, and many of them have been kidnapped and sold to slaves. So our king would rather give up his past grudges than join forces with the Romans." These Alobrocitan cavalry have been spreading these news "inadvertently". And under the short pineapple hills in the distance, Li Bida watched this scene motionlessly with the scorching sun on his head.

At about dusk, when panic completely affected the entire tribe of Seguanni, Li Bida safely walked into the settlement and siege of the tribe with several entourages.

As a result, the next day, Li Bida brought out another two thousand cavalry and joined a large team of four thousand cavalrymen, and walked towards the Aiduites in a mighty direction.

On the fourth day, Libida walked around the Ala River and Seigni Gorges, and brought 6,000 cavalry provided by three tribes and several envoys to Caesar's camp. "Are you saying that the Helvetis during the migration burned and ravaged your fields? This news is indeed, can you sign the chief's name on the documents submitted to the Senate?" After hearing the confession, Caesar said in surprise.

"The situation is completely true. My Governor General, not only do we love the Dui tribe, but even our closest tribes can guarantee that they were attacked by the Helvetis. This is a very shameful military invasion. Governor General, we have always been the closest allies of the Republic and are most worthy of the Republic. Almost every time you fall into war, we will provide auxiliary cavalry, so you should not let us suffer such great shame in front of the Roman legion! You must help us before our towns are destroyed and children become slaves." The Envoy of Aidui bowed and said.

At the same time, the messengers of Alobrocys shouted angrily, saying that the Helveti had burned out their fields and houses, and they had nothing but white land, so they were willing to provide all the help of the Roman Legion.

Caesar and Li Bida secretly looked at each other and laughed at each other. In fact, during the migration of 300,000 Helveti, the probability of such incidents that invaded foreign races was infinitely zero. But no matter what, these irrational confessions from pro-Roman tribes gave him sufficient excuses - to hold the Senate hostage and start a war against Helveti.

"Of course this is possible, but I need your cavalry. These six thousand cavalry will be my future winning magic weapon. After the service period is over, I will send them back to your tribes with generous rewards. In addition, before the war budget of the Senate is allocated, I also need you to provide considerable military rations." Caesar hurriedly handed the Chen Qing document to the confidential slave next to him and said hurriedly.

After the mission left, Caesar excitedly shouted to all the generals present, "Chasing, chasing!" Tomorrow, he could use six thousand barbarian light cavalry to chase the Helvetis and drive them to the narrow bank of the Ala River, so that they had to bypass Torosades and were forced to trek across the Ala River, run to the Santoni area, and then detour to open the Seignoni Gorge!

Then, Rabinus nodded to the Governor, walked to the center of the curtain and talked about the combat plan: The Ala River is an extremely gentle river, and there are almost no waves, so the Helvetis will probably use this hydrological characteristic to hike across the river instead of building boat bridges or bridges that they are not good at, which will give us the opportunity to annihilate them.
