"Unite against Rome? You are crazy? Youngster. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the middle of summer, when Caesar's army was on an expedition in Britain, a meeting of the tribes of Gaul was secretly unfolding in central Gaul, on the territory of a tribe called the Averni. The meeting was led by a young man from the tribe - Vicintoli. However, his words were initially opposed by the other Gallic tribes.

The patriarch of the Edui people, Oske, was the first to object.

But this young man of the Averni tribe dared to convene this tribal assembly, and he was already ready.

"No, I'm not crazy, it's that you haven't woken up yet. Oske, the patriarch of the Edui clan, and the chiefs and elders of the other tribes, I Vicintoli dare to stand here today and unite you against Rome because I believe that none of our tribes will be willing to submit to Rome in this way. You have a raging anger of revenge in your hearts, but you dare not release it, why? Because you fear that the rebellion against Rome will be suppressed more bloody and brutal, so you are afraid, you are afraid, you are afraid. But Rome is not as terrible as you think, they are sparsely numbered, they are scattered, they are arrogant, they have their own weaknesses. ”

Faced with the question of the Patriarch of Edui, Vicintoli did not answer directly, and his reply at first was very calm, and only after seeing that the other patriarchs present did not object to his preface, he continued-

"I once served as a cavalry captain under Caesar, in charge of commanding a tribe's cavalry, I am familiar with Roman tactics, all our previous battles, the reason why we can't beat them, first, is because we don't know how to fight the Romans, their phalanx is so strong, any frontal attack will be broken by it. We are not familiar with their tactics. Yes, that's a reason. Second, we are not united. I saw that while some tribes were fighting against the Romans, others even came to the aid of the Romans, transporting them food and grass and providing cavalry. We're helping a beast bite its own companion, why? ”

"Well, even if you are right, you are familiar with the Romans' tactics, but how can you guarantee that we will be able to defeat the Romans under your command? You don't know how they treat those who resist them. ”

In the middle of Vicintoli's remarks, Brick, the leader of the Sennonnes, interrupted him and briefly raised his concerns.

"Join forces. Together, we can defeat them. That's why I've called you here today. As long as we were united, and all the tribes united their armies, it would be a huge army, and we would be ten, or even twenty, thirty times as numerous as the Roman army. At that time, you were still worried that you would not be able to beat them? Still worried that you will be threatened by the bloody nouveau riche? ”

……

The proceedings of the meeting were closely controlled by Vicintoli, who, as the heir of the clan, had persuaded some of the smaller tribes around his tribe to support him and speak for himself at the meeting before convening the tribal assembly. This Gallic man had a unique trait from other Gauls, he was wise, brave, and strong. Caesar had taken the young man in high esteem and had summoned him to be the commander of the Gallic cavalry, but now the man had chosen to return to his tribe and rally his countrymen against Rome.

Vicintoli's speech was very effective, and the meeting was held secretly in a Gallic tavern, the first tribal assembly, which was attended by not many people, only a dozen, the chiefs and chiefs of the various tribes. Viccintoli didn't need to shout loudly, everyone in the room could hear it clearly. Although at this time, in terms of seniority, Vicintoli was not an elder among them, but the young man's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing everyone's heart, and resonated with the other tribal patriarchs present.

Yes, recall the years of Caesar's conquest of Gaul, the various tribes of Gaul were basically fighting on their own, and the only time they united was the great battle that took place on the territory of the Belgians last year, when the leader of the Eblones, Pirno, united the forces of six tribes against Rome. And just six tribes beat the Roman legions to the point of being out of breath, and Caesar even lost two legions as a result.

But several patriarchs still have concerns......

Farrell, the patriarch of the Carnudes, stood up—

"But even if all of us here support you, the Horde's power is still too small. What should we do if the Romans find out that we are gathering a large army and are coming at us? ”

"You don't have to worry about that, Patriarch. My eyeliner told me that the Roman army was now in Britain, that overseas continent, and that it was entangled in the local tribes. I can't come back for a while. We must seize the precious time we have now to unite as many other tribes as possible, and we must enlist the support of at least twenty tribes and bring their armies together before the Romans return. Only then did there be hope of defeating the first wave of the Roman legions' offensive. I'm ready, and before you come here, my cronies have traveled to the territory of the Aguitanians in the south to enlist the support of the tribes there. ”

The question of Farrell, the leader of the Carnudes, was quickly answered, and Vicintoli was well prepared for the meeting, a Gallic warrior who did not use an axe and a sword like the other Gallic warriors, and who had already thought of all possible scenarios before breaking with Rome. And seized the time when the Roman legion commander was not in the tribe, and vigorously agitated the surrounding tribes to rebel against Rome with himself. This meeting was only a prelude to the great Gallic uprising.

He was about to set off a monstrous wave, and today, this secret meeting of the Gallic tribes, was only the eve of this storm.

Two days later, more Gallic tribes converged on the territory of the Averni, but this time, instead of blocking their entry, the Averni welcomed them warmly, and the leaders of these tribes, with their own troops, men, and food and livestock, came to the camp of Vicintoli, the largest Gallic tribal alliance in history, which was quietly formed.

"Brothers, sisters, all those who are suffering from the brutality of Rome, you are gathered here today, not for a party of wine and meat, but for the greatest war of resistance that has ever existed, where we want to gather hundreds of thousands of troops, to defeat the Roman army and free ourselves from Roman rule. Unite, my brothers and sisters, we will prevail over Rome. That nouveau riche, we will tell him with our own axes and swords that the tribe will never be slaves! ”

Vicintoli was on the playground, shouting loudly, and the morale of the Gallic tribal coalition was instantly ignited. And more of the Gallic tribes, under the persuasion of the men of this tribe, are preparing to stir up, and it will be a great revolt, Vicintoli is convinced......
