Seven hundred seventy-six. Germanic Grand League
The revolt suffered the heaviest defeat, the four tribal alliances were completely defeated, and even the leader of the revolt, Herman, died on the way to retreat.
The power of the Romans, especially Caesar, was completely beyond the expectations of these Germanic peoples. What was supposed to be a simple uprising turned out to be a heavy casualty.
The only thing that makes people feel strange is that when the Roman legions were about to annihilate them, why did the Romans suddenly withdraw their troops?
This is puzzling.
Along the way, they were all silent, especially Stiles, whose most experienced tribal leader, Heilman, was killed in battle, and his beloved wife, Hesnia, fell into the hands of the Romans.
Now, what should he do? Before his death, Hermann explicitly instructed himself to become the leader of the tribe and led all the tribes to the Germanic Alliance. But is he capable of leading the Saxons? Where do you go to find the Germanic League?
Stiles's mind was confused......
The team was quiet, a huge group of escapees, no one was willing to talk much, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
They were bitter about the defeat of the uprising, and they were also confused about the future. They had no idea what to do next, even though Styles had already conveyed Heilmann's deathbed wishes. But will the Germanic Confederation accept them?
Previously, they had already rejected the demands of the Germanic League somewhat rudely. Now, they were the losers, but the Germanic alliance had just achieved a great victory over the Romans, the mentality and position of both sides. It's not on a grade at all.
While they were thinking about it, a large group of soldiers appeared in their path. Originally, these Germanic people thought that the Romans were blocking the way, but when they saw that those people were also their own compatriots. A heart was just a little relaxed.
"I am Archon Ernst of the Germanic League. Sent by Lord Brem, I am Guo Yunfeng of the Demon Three Emissaries......" As soon as the man with the double sword on his back spoke, it caused a whisper from the rebel tribe.
The Three Messengers of the Devil - this name was feared by the Romans. And now one of them is standing in front of them.
"We ......"
Before Stiles could say anything, Guo Yunfeng had already said: "No need to say anything, I know that the Dao uprising has failed, and our consul has asked me to meet you here." Go to us, where no Roman will dare to look us in the face! ”
There - no Roman dared to face us!
When he said this. All the members of the rebel tribe couldn't help but gasp. What kind of arrogance could make them say such things?
The team moved silently again...... Keruman couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that we will fail?" How do you know that Lu Dao should wait for us here? ”
"Because our consuls know the word." Guo Yunfeng walked ahead with a huge team, and said lightly: "He knew that this uprising would definitely fail, and he also prepared in advance. When the Romans were in the most anxious to besiege you, he asked me to find a way to get the attention of the Romans. Open a path for you......"
Moment. All the Germanic people understood that this was the most important reason why the Romans suddenly retreated when they were about to win!
Although this person who claims to be Guo Yunfeng is an understatement, they must have done a lot of extremely difficult things in it.
A grateful heart is quietly rising in the hearts of these Germanic peoples......
These Germanic people who participated in the uprising ended the uprising in a tragic form, broke out in an incredible form, and then miraculously received the Germanic League.
When they arrived at the headquarters of the Germanic Alliance, they were even more surprised that they had finally seen it with their own eyes!
It was a completely different realm from what they had known before.
Start by stepping into their territory. A large number of sentry posts swam around, behind the woods or boulders. There are also countless hidden sentinels. It is simply impossible for anyone to approach quietly.
To reach where their tribe was, they had to pass through a narrow mountain road, and the army could not be deployed at all, and they would be attacked horribly from the mountains at any time.
After passing this mountain road, dozens of archers immediately opened their bows and arrows and asked loudly for the password, and it was not until Guo Yunfeng said the correct password that they put down the bows and arrows in their hands.
"Today's slogan is the Almighty Odin......" Guo Yunfeng continued to say in his indifferent tone: "The password will change every day to prevent the Romans from mixing in. ”
Walking further, a large area of woods appeared on the side, and several people suddenly sprang out of the woods, each with a weapon in their hands, and the leader came to the front and said respectfully: "Lord Blood Devil, you are back." ”
"Charman, I brought my friends." Guo Yunfeng's face finally showed some smiles.
"Ah, the people of the Saxon tribe." Charman looked at the fleeing people, "Your Excellency the Archon is already waiting for you there. ”
"Thank you, my friend."
The leaders of the rebel tribes looked at each other, thinking that they would be safe by passing through the obstacles in front of them, but they did not expect that the security here was even tighter. Any troops that have passed the obstacle in front of them will have the idea of slacking off when they get here, but here they will be dealt a fatal blow by those hiding in the woods.
Further on, it gradually became more open, and there were more people, old people, women, children...... The old men were picking up the freshly picked grains, while the women were fiddling with a strange machine, and the laughter of the children was heard on the side.
"It's a loom that weaves soft fabric and makes comfortable clothes." Guo Yunfeng explained: "This is also what the Archon brought to us. ”
And on the other side, a kind of huge machine side. Surrounded by dozens of Germanic people, heroic laughter was constantly coming from that burst.
"What's that?" Keruman asked curiously.
"Germanic trebuchet."
Guo Yunfeng's casual answer surprised everyone. Germanic trebuchet. This is the Germanic trebuchet!
In the battle with Caesar, the Germanic trebuchet exerted its incomparably great power, causing the once powerful Roman legions to suffer an incomparably heavy blow.
And when these newcomers saw the powerful weapons of war for the first time, it was difficult to put into words the huge psychological shock they were given......
"You ...... How many such trebuchets are there? Uyle asked cautiously.
"Twelve."
Guo Yunfeng's casual answer surprised them again. God, they have a whole dozen of these trebuchets!
And at this time, Edler, the leader of the Cherusians, suddenly pointed to the other side and said: "Look, what is that! ”
There, a large group of people dressed as slaves. Pulling a presumably damaged trebuchet.
"You have slaves too?" Keruman seemed a little unconvinced.
Guo Yunfeng looked at it: "The wheel under that trebuchet is broken and is about to be repaired...... Ah, we have slaves too. Roman slaves. ”
An understatement, but it made everyone extremely surprised.
Roman slaves? These Germanic people actually used Roman slaves?
"We have many Roman captives......" Guo Yunfeng seemed to be unimpressed by their surprise: "Our people were captured by the Romans, without exception, they all became slaves, and now we have captured their people." Why don't you use it as a slave? Relationship with each other. should all be reciprocal. ”
That being said, the fact that the Germanic people really used the Romans as slaves made it difficult for these newcomers to adapt for a while......
Suddenly, pieces of cheers rang out, and Guo Yunfeng smiled: "Lord Archon is here." ”
Surrounded by the Germanic people, the man who was always wearing a skull mask appeared on the battlefield for a long time:
Archon of the Germanic Union – Ernst. Brahm!
For a moment, the ranks of the refugees fell silent, and everyone looked with a look of fear at the legendary figure who had defeated the Roman army countless times.
"Welcome. My friend. Coming to the fugitive, the voice behind the skull mask sounded: "I'm sure you must have been frightened a lot along the way. But now that you're here, you don't have to worry about anything. Not a single enemy will appear with us. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I am the new leader of the Saxon tribe, Stiles." Stiles stepped forward and said.
Wang Weiyi looked at him: "Ah, you are Stiles...... I am very saddened by what happened to the leader of Heilman, and I hope that the Saxons will be able to avenge the leader of Heilman under your leadership...... By the way, I have a little gift for you......"
Stiles was confused, but when he saw the gift given to him by Wang Weiyi, the whole person was stunned at first, and then shouted wildly:
"Hasnia!"
After saying that, he rushed forward regardless of the same, and hugged the "gift" that the consul gave to the living - Hesnia!
"Stiles, Stiles, my love!" Hesinia also hugged Stiles and cried loudly.
This scene made many people quietly shed tears......
They hugged for a long time, and then they let go, Stiles's eyes were red, and he turned to Wang Weiyi: "Honorable Archon, how do you know that she is my wife?" And how did you get her out of the Romans? ”
"There's nothing I don't know." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "When I want to save someone, no one can stop me." Steens, I know you've lost someone you respect, and I don't want you to continue to lose your wife. ”
Stiles looked at the other party in a daze, and then slowly knelt down: "Honorable Archon, I can't repay your kindness to me, from now on, Stiles's life is yours, and you can take my life anytime and anywhere." ”
"What we lost, sooner or later, we will get it back!" Wang Weiyi didn't let him get up immediately. Rather, he said to all the fleeing: "The Romans have deprived you of your land, deprived you of your freedom, now." and taking the lives of countless of your relatives, a true Germanic cannot bear such a humiliation. I, Consul of the Germanic League, am willing to avenge you, and am willing to take all your men to the Romans to claim all that you have lost......"
Speaking of which, he made Stiles stand up: "But. You alone will not be able to wash away such a shame, and there will never be one. When the Germans are united, we are an invincible force. But once we are scattered, the Romans can easily defeat any of our tribes! I was distressed by what had happened to Heilman, but he had made an unforgivable mistake, thinking that he had relied on the strength of a few tribes. to be able to defeat the Romans. But he was wrong. His last thing happened was that he died at the hands of the Romans, and I didn't want to see such a tragedy happen again. ”
He paused there before continuing: "We need a whole organization, we need a strong leader, and the Germanic Alliance now has such a leader, and that is me!" What about you? Will you obey my commands? If you want. I will lead you in battle to avenge all who have died. If you don't want to. I'll have someone give you plenty of food and get you out of here!" But what I can tell you is that there is no one but me who can wash away your shame! ”
Those who fled were silent, silent...... Then Keruman was the first to half-kneel on the ground: "Honorable Archon, all Lombardians are willing to do your bidding. ”
"The Cherusi are willing to do your bidding!"
"Dunkterti is willing to do your bidding!"
Wang Weiyi looked at them and nodded silently...... From now on, what he had been waiting for for a long time finally came:
The whole of Germany was finally completely united. For the Germans, this was the greatest blessing, and for the Romans, the most terrifying scene finally happened:
The Germanic Grand League!
From this day on, the Grand Germanic League was officially formed, and every Germanic people worshiped a common "king":
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bram - Skull Baron!
In the 3rd century BC, the Germanic peoples began their great migration, which traveled south along the Elbe to northern Bohemia and along the Saale into Thuringia. At the end of the 2nd century BC, Germanic tribes who had settled in Jutland invaded the Mediterranean culture and confronted the Romans. In the middle of the 1st century BC, a large number of Germanic people came from the hinterland to the Rhine River, and there were constant military conflicts with the Roman Empire. After a long struggle, the Vandals, Burgundians and Goths of the Germanic tribes occupied the Vistula River valley. In the middle of the 1st century BC, the Celts were expelled and eventually settled in a vast area east of the Rhine, north of the Danube, and between the North Sea.
But these tribes are scattered organizations that do not share a common goal and are rarely united. The only time there was a unity was probably the Teutons and the Cimbri joining forces against Rome, and the challenge of Ariovidus to Gaul.
But both times they failed.
However, everything changes when someone who is not originally part of this era appears. The Germanic Grand League finally formed a whole on this day!
Now, Wang Weiyi already has the capital to challenge the Romans!
The newcomers were well arranged, and from the front, Caesar, having quelled the Germanic revolt, retreated to the other side of the Rhine and demolished the bridge again.
Caesar was a very clever man, and he knew that he would not be able to complete his mission of conquering the barbarians at this time, and that he had to endure until his strength was strong enough.
Caesar did think very well, but he ignored his opponent:
Ernst. Brahm!
Caesar used the hands of the barbarians to get rid of Sentumaros, who posed a threat to his rule, but Wang Weiyi had already arranged a new opponent for him:
Sevious!
In every respect, Sevios is far better than Sentumaros, and more difficult than Sentumaros, and his arrival will pose the most immediate threat to Caesar, which is enough to give Caesar a headache.
But Wang Weiyi's thoughts were not limited to these, and on the night of the formation of the Germanic Grand League, he decided to return to Rome again. And it will leave early tomorrow morning.
"Is Rome really that attractive to you? Or are you worried about the pair of sisters? Elena was very suspicious of Wang Weiyi's motives for his trip to Rome.
Wang Weiyi laughed: "There are both, but the attraction of sister flowers to me is far less strong than forcing Caesar to make some actions in advance." ”
This sentence immediately attracted his companions, and Richthofen opened his eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Do something that makes history happen sooner." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "Caesar will break with Rome sooner or later, and he has no way to deal with us now, but the Roman army must not be his opponent." If the Romans had been able to plunge into civil war earlier, I think our best chance would have come. ”
His companions glanced at each other and soon understood that Ernst was going to do something crazy again.
No matter where he is, he is always like this, always doing something that others don't expect. He seems to have a very weak concept of the word danger, or more accurately, he doesn't know what danger is.
Now, what is probably a headache for the Romans is going to happen again! (To be continued......)
