"The list of Helvetians we have captured before shows that before the migration, the Helvetians and other tribes were entrapped, there were a total of 386,000 people, of which 92,000 were men in the prime of life, and now we have counted about 110,000 left." The figure he had predicted for Chief Alobrogis was about the same: 300,000 Helvetians, 200,000 killed and captured, and only a third survived.

"I know this number, ration of food and money back to Lake Leman, Rabinus has also taken care of it, what else do you have a problem?"

"Yes, that is, the enemy's losses are not in line with our count, there is a difference of thirteen thousand, and according to my detailed investigation, the thirteen thousand men lost must all belong to a small tribe called Vibichinas, who previously settled on the river island of the Renus River, and later acted with the Helvetians."

"You mean they're still hiding in the Adoi region?" Caesar's tone immediately became alarmed.

"That's right, being able to hide so well shows that although this tribe is small, the quality of its leaders and personnel is very strong, and I ask Your Excellency to forgive them after they are searched out, so that they can be our combat force." Li Bida took the opportunity to say in a good way.

Caesar said that there is no hurry, anyway, this matter will be left to you and the Twelfth Legion, in the current situation, even if the Vibichinas are hidden, they will not be able to run far, you still deal with the "Gallic Assembly", I won't talk much tonight, it's up to you and Rabinus.

As he spoke, the two rode horses and walked in front of the group, talking and walking. Behind it are wheat fields and villages with crosses of forests.

In Bibrakde's temporary residence. Hundreds of representatives of the Gallic tribes. Standing in the hall, only a young man with long light yellow hair sat silently on the bench in the corner, as if all the situation had nothing to do with him, and an old man dressed up pressed his shoulder: "Vicintoli, bring some tribal representatives to make a send, and don't let the Romans see your dangerous tendencies." ”

"Uncle, what kind of representative am I? I was only after my father was poisoned by pro-Roman members of the clan. As a puppet, I came to the dregs of the hall and watched the various Gallic tribes flattering the Roman dwarfs, well, maybe I should have a few small silver coins from Gallic to throw at the monkey players, and behold, the dwarf Roman governor is here! His hair resembles that of the Germanic people, villains who covet our land and wealth. With that, young Vicintoli stood up. He applauded enthusiastically with the crowd, while leaving his earth-colored uncle behind. As if he hadn't said anything rebellious at all, he stood on both sides of the porch and welcomed Caesar and his generals who had entered proudly.

When he approached Vicintoli, Caesar paused and asked the tall lad, "If I remember correctly, you are the representative of the Alveni tribe, and I deeply regret the tragedy of your father." ”

"My father's dangerous remarks against Rome deserve to be publicly executed in accordance with tribal rules, and His Excellency the Doge needs not express regret." Speaking of the cause of his father's death, Vicintoli spoke as lightly as a stranger, "and I myself am at once willing to lead the tribal cavalry and follow His Excellency the Doge against the Germans." ”

Caesar didn't say anything, but bowed behind Vicintoli, his uncle, the current chief of the Alveni tribe, and then the delegates rushed forward, holding Caesar's hand and kissing it, and Libida, who was following Caesar, could clearly see that Vicintoli had quietly retreated to the edge of the noisy crowd, watching all this with cold eyes.

After the greetings, Caesar asked Libida and Labinus to come forward and announce the reason why he wanted to convene the "Gallic Assembly", the real and credible reason, and Libida held up the instrument with the seal of the Germanic chieftain Aliovistus, in public:

"You have heard of this document for a long time, and I need not deny that for a hundred years the Gallic tribes have been divided into two major regional groups, one led by Alveni and the other led by Eduy, and the struggle between the two is no secret."

Vicintoli on one side muttered, "That's why I hate this, for those who are in the midst of infighting and who are prone to bring in the Romans to slaughter their fellow clansmen, and when I take power, I will definitely put them all to death, and Gaul must get rid of these tumors so that the body can have any hope of rebirth."

As a result, he scared his uncle so much that he wanted to shut his mouth to death.

So when Alveni and the Secongnese were defeated by the Edui in the struggle for supremacy in Gaul, they came up with a solution, which was to pay for the Germans of the Black Forest! If your Excellency the Doge remembers correctly, three years earlier the Ivian of Adouil had complained to the Senate that the Alveni tribe had sent 15,000 Germanic mercenaries to Aliovistus, and that by now there were 120,000 Germanic settlers in Gaul, and they had fallen in love with the richness and prosperity of the place, and did not want to return to their homeland, which was full of forests. These Germanic people, with Aliovistus as king, were ready to dominate all of Gaul at any time, and before the arrival of His Excellency the Doge, he wrote privately to him, and with a bribe of eight hundred Talents, he was ready to deceive him into becoming an 'ally of the Republic', so that Gaul could claim the throne and conquer dissidents in the name of the Republic. Li Bida's words were extremely lethal, and suddenly panic and angry screams broke out in the hall.

Caesar smiled very firmly to soothe everyone's worries, "Of course I did not agree, nor did I accept this bribe, let alone eight hundred Talents, even eight thousand, and I will never abandon you and allow the Germans to set foot in the territory of Gaul." ”

In an instant, Lybida then pointed to Vicintoli on the other side and said to his uncle, "Here are the representatives of the Alvenies, and the chiefs of the Eduis, Diviach and Lesgus, and the former's brother Dunolex, are also present, and I ask them to explain them." ”

First of all, Deviachi came out to complain bitterly about the tyranny of the Germans, saying that he was the only one in the whole of Gaul who had not given hostages to Aliovistus, so he could only beg Caesar to help the whole of Gaul be freed from the clutches of Ariovistus' enslavement.

Then, even the Honorex took Caesar's hand and began to weep, saying that the reason why his wife, the Helvetics, had left Lake Leman and offended His Excellency the Doge was mostly because of the helplessness of the Germanic barbarians who had infiltrated and attacked him, and he resolutely expressed his firm gratitude to His Excellency the Doge for his reconstruction, and was grateful on behalf of all Gaul, and was willing to unite closely with the Helvetians to assist His Excellency the Doge in defeating the Germans, so as to atone for his crimes.
