During the period of the Macedonian plague pandemic, the Macedonian kingdom was weakening, and the strength of the native region was depleted. Latin Rome, as a kingdom that was geographically independent of its own territory, had a greater responsibility to stand up and become the main force at this time. Aloyos felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders and the need to be the driving force behind the war.

The king did not ask the Romans to do more, as their task was to deal with the Romans in the north. Aloyos had his considerations, and the Romans were always threatened with war, and the Romans were not so easy to deal with. Besides, once the war began, he was ready to duel with the Romans as soon as possible, and annex northern Italy with a quick victory. This requires the main elite army to carry out the war, and the more troops the better.

But with the rich Latin Plains, Aloyos has the power to do something extra. Dividing his troops elsewhere and sending the First Greek Army to land in Marseille was his actual action to support the kingdom against the barbarians. Now he is ready to continue to do something on this front, increasing the number of troops in the port of Marseille.

In addition, since there was a shortage of transportation in Macedonia itself, the logistics of the Aegean Naval Regiment and the Invincible Legion in Austria were mostly borne by Aloyos. They shipped supplies to Illyria and then to Austria. The transport escort was carried out by the Aegean auxiliary fleet stationed in the port of Tarentum.

The Germans and Gauls regained their strength and once again organized new forces to attack. An attempt to recapture the salient that Macedonia wedged into its territory. Many battles broke out between the two sides, but the Macedonian army was still strong, repeatedly resisting each other's attacks. During this period, the Germans and Gauls made frequent sorties, and the strategic posture was very active. Moreover, the barbarian army was quickly replenished, and there was a full corps in three or five months, but there was still a lack of training. Macedonia confronted it, and even if it did not continue to attack and expand its territory, it was still possible to maintain the results of the battle.

The two sides of the war were held each other for another year. In the meantime, Macedonia made a breakthrough in individual directions. The strategic location of this region is particularly important, being the famous Black Forest of the Germans, Agridigumat. The army of Gueras personally defeated the Germanic army and captured Mainz. The king had been preparing for a long time to achieve this strategic goal. Damasos's troops had previously decisively captured the Salzburg salient, providing the necessary support for the Invincible Corps.

After sending Podarerios back to Thessaloniki, Garras led his army to Budapest to reorganize. Here the king received a shipment of cavalry from Rome, and they stockpiled more rations and sent them to Salzburg in preparation for the offensive operation. When the Invincible Legion arrived in Salzburg and joined up with the Aegean Naval Regiment, it was attacked by the Germanic army, and the two armies joined forces to repel several enemy attacks. As a result, the time for action was postponed.

After three months of bloody fighting, Macedonia finally defeated the coalition forces from West Germania. On this day, King Gueras and Prince Damasos were chatting and resting in their tents, when Adimo Satuk, a veteran spy who had not been heard from for many days, returned.

He reported that the Germans had gathered a large army near Mainz to attack the rear of the Macedonian army in the middle of the road to Pannonia. The enemy army consisted of tribal brutes from central and western Germania, divided into three forces.

One was led by Vercaris and came from Upper Germania; One was led by Badroga and came from Lower Germania; There is also a group of troops in the city of Mainz, and the main one will be Valria. The total strength was equivalent to the number of a half-full army of Macedonia. Although their troops are divided into three routes, they have good coordination and cooperation with each other.

"It seems that this time the Germans were ruthless, so they insisted on launching an offensive for three months, and now they have put together another army regardless of losses."

"Well, they couldn't break through our defenses in the vast plains of Central Europe, so they changed their strategy and wanted to raid around the rear to find fighters. We can't let their army go, Brother Wang! Let me take the Aegean naval regiment to take the initiative and crush the Germanic army in their Black Forest. ”

"It's better to let the outnumbered men fight, my invincible legion has better cavalry, suitable for attacking. Giant catapults and Cretan archers that can effectively deal with hordes of Germanic pikemen.

Most of your legions are Greek infantry, which is better suited for defense. You're still stationed in Salzburg. ”

"Yes!

Judging from the military strength, Brother Wang will definitely be able to defeat the tribal alliance this time, and then take Mainz in one go. The central Germanic city of Mainz is definitely a strategic point. It was not only a symbolic center of Germania, but also an important city, one of the most advanced in the development of the barbarians. There are plenty of supplies and facilities in the city, and if we take it, we will be able to get a great tonic in the area. Military and economic significance. ”

This is exactly what it is: those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the army, the food is not for three years, and the food is used for the country, because the food is for the enemy, so the army can have enough food. With the formation of a situation of feeding the war with war, the Macedonian army is no longer so dependent on domestic supplies, and to a certain extent, it has been freed from the restrictions of long-distance transportation. Army operations are no longer subject to domestic emergencies.

Garras likes to be stable in his use of soldiers, and the whole army advances and retreats. The whole force is highly coordinated, huge but able to echo from beginning to end. For example, Changshan is a snake, hitting its head and tail, hitting its tail is the first to reach, and hitting it is both head and tail.

With great speed, the Invincible Legion marched swiftly through the Black Forest at Agripumat to an open field. The area is high in the east and low in the west, and there are woods on all sides. The middle is flat and wide, suitable for face-to-face battles. Garrus took a fancy to the battlefield and let the army line up for battle, and then rested in place. He sent scouts to probe the enemy and find the enemy's main force.

The Germanic army didn't want the enemy to come so quickly, and it was a bit of a surprise. Originally, they were preparing to launch a surprise attack, but now they have become the enemy to attack. But in any case, when they received the news, they immediately went to meet the Macedonians.

When the Germanic general Varia approached the battlefield, he began to lay out. He wanted the Macedonians to take the initiative to attack, and then the other two scattered troops would outflank them from both sides. Take advantage of the cover effect of the forest to catch your opponent off guard. However, Valria's wishful thinking failed, and Garras was a very steady and patient veteran, and he would not let the enemy lead him by the nose.

After a stalemate for most of the day, Varisi finally couldn't hold back and told the other two troops to go together to find the enemy and have a good time. The Invincible Legion waited for a long time, and finally waited for the Germanic army to emerge from the woods and show up.

Only then did the king order the entire Macedonian army to advance forward.
