- Franzisco Petrarch (the first humanist of the Renaissance, known as the "father of the Renaissance")

At noon on August 17, four days before the official attack, the army led by Eggers quietly arrived at the border between the Acenian Kingdom and the Watte tribe east of the river, and by this time, the connection between the Werther tribe and the west of the river had long been cut off by the Roman city navy.

The Hexi region, where the core of the Vitte tribe was located, was wary of the city of Rome because of the blockade of the Cangluo River, and coupled with the large number of Bazel's army, the cautious Hexi army of the Werther tribe soon sensed the intention of attacking the city of Rome.

The Hexi army of the Werther tribe, which had prepared for war in advance, quickly launched a fierce counterattack after the attack of the Lion Legion of Upton, and the Lion Legion, which was caught off guard, suffered its first major defeat since the founding of the army.

The poor performance of the lion legions on the battlefield caused contempt and disdain for the Vitte army, which had been wary of the Roman army, and the army of the Roman city was nothing more than that, in the eyes of the victorious Werther warriors.

When the main army led by Bazel himself arrived on the battlefield, the army of the Werther tribe paid a very heavy price for their own light enemy, and nearly half of the troops were killed and captured, so that the Werther tribe's Hexi army lost a quarter of its total strength.

Unlike the Hexi army, which was prepared for war in advance, the Hedong army of the Werther tribe was unaware that war was about to break out, and even the day before the attack of Eggers' army, the army of the Werther tribe was scattered along their long border.

With 60,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, the total strength of the Hedong army was about 10,000 more than that of the allied army under Eggers, but the combat effectiveness of the two armies was very different, and the Roman army in this aspect of the allied army had an absolute advantage.

The military intelligence provided by the ghosts of the battlefield gave Eggers a detailed understanding of the distribution of the Werther tribe's army east of the river, and the targets he chose to attack were the four largest military camps of the Werther tribe along the border.

These four garrison camps of the Werther tribe's Hedong army concentrated 80 percent of the Werther tribe's strength in the Hedong region, and as long as Eggers' army could annihilate these four enemy forces at the beginning of the war, the coalition army's attack on the Hedong region would be extremely smooth.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, Eggers redivided his army into four separate attacking armies, one of which was led by Eggers himself, and one each led by Bronno, Nabazani, and Assam.

Eggers, who personally commanded the Eagle Legion and the mobile troops, attacked the largest enemy force consisting of 15,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, and the commander of this enemy army was also the supreme military commander of the Werther tribe in the east of the river.

The enemy army led by Bronno to attack the Dragon's Legion was composed of 10,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry, and the enemy army led by Nabazani and Assam to attack the Legion of the Headquarters was two enemy armies of 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry.

The total strength of these four Werther tribes was 45,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry, and once these 60,000 troops suffered a devastating blow, the remaining 15,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry of the Werther tribe in the Hedong region could no longer resist the attack of the combined forces of Rome and the Acenian Kingdom, and the Hedong region would soon be occupied by the army of Eggers.

On the day of the execution of the battle plan, the four-way army under the command of Eggers surrounded the four military camps of the Werther tribe with lightning speed, and launched an unusually fierce attack on the enemy troops in these four military camps.

The Werther tribesmen's army, which wanted to use the cavalry troops to break through, was blocked by the fierce Roman city army and the Esine Kingdom army, which were blocked by flesh and blood, and the narrow exit of the barracks was both the advantage and the disadvantage of the Werther tribe.

The soldiers of the Werther tribe, who were blocked by the whole army, could use the barracks gate to block the attack of the Eggers' army, but they had to be limited by the barracks gate, so that the Eggers' army could withstand the enemy's cavalry onslaught.

The strongest army under Eggers' command was the one commanded by Eggers himself, and the enemy army he attacked was also the strongest of the four armies of the Werther tribe, and it was a battle that was doomed to death from the beginning.

The elite soldiers of the Eagle Legion used tacit lunges to suppress the enemy troops in the barracks, and the soldiers of the Werther tribe, commanded by the Supreme Commander, also used their bravery and fearlessness to attack the encirclement and defense of the Eagle Legion again and again.

After two days of see-saw charging and suppression, the battle between the two sides finally entered the most intense white-hot stage, the longbowmen of the Eagle Legion temporarily withdrew from the battle, and the infantry of the two armies began to use the most primitive hand-to-hand combat to decide the outcome of the battle.

After the special training, the officers and men of the Eagle Legion have improved their cooperation in the battle formation by leaps and bounds, and in the fierce battle, they have marched and retreated in a unit of 100 people, and they have tacit cooperation to strangle the enemy troops who rushed out of the barracks.

The almost one-sided trend of the battle made the commander of the Werther tribe army lose the confidence to continue the battle, and in order to win the last glimmer of hope of victory, he proposed to Eggers the usual method of the barbarian generals to solve the battle as quickly as possible - heads-up!

In the eyes of the generals of the civilized world, even if the strength of one's own general is indeed good, this method of one's head-to-head competition in front of the battle is really a loss of the identity and majesty of the main general.

However, in the barbarian world, where martial arts are still the norm, heads-up is still an indispensable procedure for the two armies to fight; the battle between soldiers and generals is the battlefield order strictly observed by the barbarians, and it is also the only way for the inferior side to turn defeat into victory.

Faced with the challenge of the enemy's commander-in-chief, Eggers, who was already strong, naturally had no reason to refuse; Eggers won this battle, and more than 10,000 soldiers in the camp of the Werther tribe surrendered; if Eggers was defeated, he had to let the enemy leave the barracks.

A fair bet and a fair duel made the morale of the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting bloody battles soar at the same time, and even the soldiers of the Eagle Legion in Rome could not change the enthusiasm and fanaticism of the barbarian warriors in them.

The long-awaited duel between the two armies ended in the end, and Eggers, who was only one step away from the Sword Master, defeated the enemy commander cleanly in only one minute, much to the disappointment of the soldiers who had planned to watch a fierce duel.

Victory at the lowest cost, that's why Eggers accepted the challenge, the defeated enemy commander, with a pale face and his men surrendered, and Eggers won the first victory against the Werther tribe!

After successfully annihilating the strongest army of the Werther tribe, Eggers led the army to reinforce Bronno's army, helping him to annihilate the second army of the Werther tribe, and seven days later, the four main armies of the Werther tribe in the Hedong region were all annihilated!
