Chapter 401 Roy's Four Requests

"Aurora, you just have a dead brother now."

Looking at Aurora who looked stubborn, Roy leaned into her ear and whispered a threat.

"If you don't obey me, not only will you suffer torture worse than death, but your brother Amlius's wife, son, daughter, and the rest of your family will also suffer torture worse than death. Let them The person who is being tortured is not me, but your family who doesn’t care about their life or death. But if you obey me - I can guarantee that all of your family members will survive.”

After hearing Roy's threat, Aurora glared at Roy with an even more angry look, and finally said through gritted teeth.

"As long as you don't hurt my family, you can do whatever you want to me."

Roy showed a satisfied smile and turned to the Etruscan leaders.

"Why are you still hesitating? Now you should understand that you cannot defeat the Athenian Empire in the war. This is exactly why you were willing to stop the war just now. Princess Aurora is just a banner that unites you. If you can defeat me Soldiers, even if I threaten you with Aurora's life, you will not give up your easy victory."

This battle in the plains of Milan.

Although the Etruscans had a five-fold numerical advantage and the fighting will to defend their homeland, this still could not make up for the strength gap caused by weapons and equipment.

Just now Roy threatened Aurora's life. The real reason why the Etruscan leaders were willing to stop the war was that they didn't want their soldiers to die in vain.

"Now you can't defeat me on the battlefield. Even if I give up conquering the Po River Plain, you will suffer from famine due to food problems. If you don't want thousands of people to starve to death, your only choice is to surrender to me. I have received precious food here. I have already taken care of your unwillingness to surrender to outsiders. If you want to marry Princess Aurora and become the king of Etruria who will legally inherit the throne, do you really want to make the stupidest choice? "

After seeing that the leaders looked at each other, but no one was still willing to surrender, Roy continued.

"In one year, I will train an army of 100,000 people on the Apennine Peninsula, and let all these 100,000 troops use sharp black iron weapons. If you surrender now, you can get better treatment from me. Wait until one year later, Even if you want to surrender to me, I will not give you this opportunity, and you and your family will become prisoners and slaves."

"One hundred thousand soldiers with black iron weapons——"

Roy's words made all the leaders look horrified.

Now Roy only had thousands of soldiers using black iron weapons to defeat the Etruscans and replace the Etruscans' dominance in the Apennine Peninsula.

If Roy really armed one hundred thousand soldiers with one hundred thousand black iron weapons a year later, the Etruscans would have no way to survive.

Some leaders with weak attitudes said one after another.

"I support you marrying Princess Aurora and inheriting the throne and becoming the new King of Etruria."

"As long as you can guarantee our interests, we have no reason to oppose you."

"My tribe is short of food. As long as you promise to provide us with food, I will support you to inherit the throne."

Seeing the weak leaders surrendering to Roy, a tough leader immediately yelled angrily.

"How can you weaklings surrender to outsiders?"

Then, the leader with a tough attitude looked at Roy and said.

"Although it is a fact that we cannot defeat you, and it is a fact that we need you to provide food, but if you want us to surrender to you, you must agree to my conditions."

"Listen to your request. As long as it's not too much, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"My first request is that your and Princess Aurora's children will inherit the throne of the Etruscan king and rule us in the future. My second request is that you must provide us with food and not let us Starve a tribe to death. My third request is that you must guarantee the identity and power of our tribal leaders.”

After hearing these three conditions, Roy said with a smile.

"I accept your request. In the future, Aurora and I's child will be the next Etruscan king to rule you. The Etruscans have become my people, and it is my responsibility to take care of you. I will definitely not let my people starve to death. There is no problem in ensuring the identity and power of you leaders. You will still be the leaders of your respective tribes in the future."

After Roy finished speaking, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw a cavalry team of two thousand people approaching.

"That is--"

Seeing that Caesar was coming with two thousand Athenian soldiers armed with iron guns, Roy was surprised at first, and then showed a surprise expression.

With these two thousand Athenian soldiers armed with iron spears, Roy was more confident in negotiating with the Etruscan leaders.

After Caesar rushed over with two thousand Athenian soldiers, the Etruscan leaders showed despair when they saw two thousand Athenian soldiers wielding iron spears.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Roy surrounded by the Etruscans, Caesar came to the periphery of the crowd, raised the iron gun in his hand and said.

"I will kill these people now. Your Majesty, please hold on a little longer."

"Don't mess around."

Roy explained with a smile.

"Can't you still see? I am discussing with the Etruscans about their surrender to me. I plan to marry the Etruscan Princess Aurora, and then legally inherit the throne of Etruria of the throne.”

"That's it. I thought His Majesty held their princess hostage and was surrounded by them."

"Caesar, where did your horses come from?"

"It was stolen from several Etruscan tribes - borrowed from some friendly Etruscan tribes. I heard that your Majesty was going to attack Milan, so I took elite soldiers with iron spears Coming to support.”

Caesar, this bastard, really doesn’t follow the rules——

Although Caesar violated the law not to rob civilians of property, he brought 2,000 Athenian soldiers to support, which undoubtedly made great achievements.

Roy said to the tough leader with a joking smile.

"I have agreed to your request, and now it is your turn to agree to mine. My first request to you is that you Etruscans must all transform into an agricultural nation within two years. My second request to you The first requirement is that you must accept my implementation of the laws and policies of the Athenian Empire in the Po River Plain. My third requirement for you is that you leaders must obey all my orders. Just continue this war. After you all become my prisoners, not only will I not have to accept your demands, I will also confiscate your property and reduce your family members to slaves. "

After seeing Caesar arriving with two thousand Athenian soldiers, Roy became emboldened and tough-minded. The leader who was tough just now could only lower his head and say.

"We are willing to accept your request."

"I almost forgot-"

Roy continued.

"I have a fourth request. You Etruscans will no longer worship the sun god Jupiter. You will become a farming people. From now on, the goddess Persephone of our Athenian Empire will be the patron saint of the Po River Plain." "
