- Niccolò Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)

Just when Bai Feng actively led his army to attack the hinterland of the Aceni Kingdom, the war between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe also reached a critical moment, and the two sides mobilized a total of more than 500,000 troops in the border area for a decisive battle.

The leader of the Luxi tribe, Viriacius, personally led 200,000 elite divisions against the 400,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance, and compared to the profound Luxi tribe, the newly rising Eastern Alliance could only use the numerical superiority to target the qualitative superiority of the Luxi tribe.

Of the eighteen tribes in the entire Eastern Alliance, only the three most powerful tribes, the Dart tribe, the Aiden tribe, and the Walkley tribe, each produced 50,000 elite warriors, while the other 25 warriors were an army that everyone cobbled together.

A month before the decisive battle, the leader of the Dat tribe learned of the death of his eldest son on the west bank of the Cangluo River, and the hapless warrior who had informed him of the news had been slashed by his sword at his waist in anger.

Even the slaughter of this unfortunate creature could not calm the deep pain of the loss of his son in the heart of the leader of the Dat tribe, and he desperately wanted to immediately command the entire army of the Dat tribe and cross the Cangluo River to avenge his beloved son.

Unfortunately, the war between the Luxi tribe and the Eastern Alliance made him have no time to care, and even if he sent some troops to attack the Roman city on the south bank of the Cangluo River, he could not do it.

As the leader of the Dart tribe, one of the three major tribes of the Eastern Alliance, Mullen was unable to avenge his son's pain, and in the end, he sent a small force of 5,000 men back to the south to reconnoitre.

The army of 5,000 non-elite divisions was just a small reconnaissance force for the Dat tribe, which had nearly 100,000 troops, and the other leaders of the Eastern Alliance did not care about the whereabouts of this force.

This reconnaissance force, sent by Mullen himself, made its way south to the north bank of the left flank of the Cangluo River, and lacking boats to cross the river, they had to transport their men to the south bank of the Cangluo River in units of 100 men, only to be met by Nelson's cavalry troops.

The landing enemy force of several hundred men was met by the Roman spear legion of more than 6,000 men, and the first landing reconnaissance force of the Dart tribe was annihilated on the south bank of the Cangluo River without even a bubble.

The reconnaissance force of the Dart tribe, which has eaten a trench and grown wisely, quickly gave up this kind of behavior that was no less than sending to death, and instead found a way to collect more boats, intending to cross the entire reconnaissance force across the Cangluo River at once.

As they gathered their ships, the number of twin ships in Rome increased dramatically, and when they had gathered enough ships for a second crossing, a patrol fleet of three twin ships appeared.

Three twin ships approaching the wind quickly rushed into the group of enemy ships trying to cross the Kura River, and the rampage of the twin ships sank all the enemy ships that were unfortunately hit, but this was only the beginning.

Each of the twin ships of Rome had a hundred longbowmen of astonishing range, and three of the three twin ships had three hundred longbowmen ready to fire a salvo, and these longbowmen also fired a quick salvo of arrows after the twin ships rushed into the enemy ships.

The naval officers of Rome, who were well-shipped, used their strength to teach the reconnaissance force of the Dart tribe a good lesson, and before the bewildered enemy army could organize its defense, another patrol fleet of three twin warships also rushed to the surface.

It took about half an hour for the two patrol fleets of the city of Rome to wipe out almost all of the reconnaissance force of the Dart tribe, and the entire surface of the water was filled with sunken wooden boats and floating corpses of enemy soldiers, and the naval officers of the city of Rome did not lose a single soldier.

Only a few dozen of the enemy reconnaissance troops managed to escape back to the north bank of the Cangluo River and escape from the rain of arrows from the longbowmen, while the terrified Dat soldiers fled back to their tribe without the slightest hesitation.

When Mullen saw these dozens of lost warriors, this time he did not become irrationally angry, but instead comforted the warriors who had escaped, and only then did he learn in detail from their mouths what had happened to them.

At this time, Mullen truly realized that the strength of the city of Rome should not be underestimated, and when he regained his composure, he did not blindly send a small army to send him to death, but temporarily focused all his attention on the Lucian tribe.

Maren had more than one son, and the loss of his son had very limited effect on him, and a brief outburst of anger was just a normal reaction to him, and when he accepted it, the loss of a son was not a big deal for him.

Marlen, who had seven wives, had thirteen sons and six daughters, and the loss of one son was not a big deal for Mullen, and if it weren't for the fact that this son was the eldest son on whom he had high hopes, he wouldn't even lift his eyelids!

However, the impact of the death of the eldest son on Maren and the Dart tribe was not so easy to end, because Maren had to choose a suitable heir among his sons, and the Dart tribe also needed a new leader heir.

As a result, a fierce battle for the position of the heir was raging within the Dart tribe, but until the war between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe was over, all the fighting was still in the incubation period, and the war with the Luxi tribe was the most important thing.

The battle-hardened Viriacius had long been annoyed by the aggressiveness of the Eastern Alliance, and this war between the Luxi tribe and the Eastern Alliance was also a challenge to the entire Luxi tribe aristocracy against the Eastern Alliance.

However, it is difficult for the Luxi tribe, which is scattered in strength, to gather a large number of troops at once to attack the Eastern Alliance, so in the tug-of-war between the Luxi tribe and the Eastern Alliance, the Luxi tribe, which is at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, will always suffer some small losses.

After a few lessons, Viriacius was determined to settle the threat of the Eastern Alliance once and for all, and while the armies of both sides were still fighting each other in the border area, Viriacius reassembled 150,000 elite troops behind the border!

When the 150,000 Luxi tribe reinforcements, led by Viriasius himself, arrived in the border area, the total strength of the Luxi tribe reached 200,000 people, and all of them were composed of powerful elite divisions.

Comparatively speaking, the 400,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance are much more uneven, but the strength of the Eastern Alliance is not fake, and the existence of more than 150,000 elite divisions makes the army of the Eastern Alliance still have an absolute superiority in quantity and quality.

In fact, if it weren't for Viriacius's absolute confidence in himself, he could have postponed this Armageddon for a month, and at that time, he would not have 200,000 elite divisions under his command, even 400,000 elite divisions might be able to take it!
