- Aristotle (one of the great philosophers, scientists, and educators in the ancient history of the world)

Just when the 20,000-strong army of Calabis was slaughtering the Alesian tribe with a 50,000-strong army, another force began to move, that is, the British barbarian forces from the overseas islands!

The British barbarians were originally just a barbarian force living on overseas islands, consisting of the London tribe of Upper Britain, the York tribe of Lower Britain, and the Diwa tribe of West Luli, and they were also one of the extremely fierce barbarian tribes.

Originally, these British barbarians had little contact with the barbarians of Gaul and Germania, after all, they were cut off from each other by the sea, and apart from some simple trade exchanges, the British barbarians had no contact with the barbarians on the continent.

Later, as the British barbarians grew in strength, they began to attempt to cross the ocean and attack the Irish islands closer to them; As a result, the weak island of Ireland was occupied by the British barbarians, and the fourth tribe of the British barbarians was born, that is, the Diwa tribe with Ireland as its ruling area.

After this successful cross-sea battle, the experienced British barbarians naturally began to covet the land on the mainland; It happened that at this time there was an independent tribe between the Germanic barbarians and the Gallic barbarians, the Samarobriva tribe, which was not very powerful.

This Samaro tribe had little to do with the Germanic barbarians, nor did it have much contact with the Gaul barbarians; What's more, they also occupy the Belgian region, which is just across the sea from the British barbarians.

The existence of such a barbarian tribe is simply an excellent springboard for the British barbarians to extend their tentacles to the mainland; After the four British barbarian tribes consulted, they organized a large expeditionary army and appointed Balenas, the most warlike of the entire British barbarians, as the commander to attack the Samaro Briva tribe in Belgium.

The British barbarians, who also possess a martial spirit, have many similar classes to the Gallic barbarians, as well as some more special and more powerful troops; As far as the regular arms are concerned, the main arms of the British barbarians are the British Infantry and the British Samurai, and the more elite ones are the British Elite Samurai and the British Druid Order.

Yes, the Druid Order; In terms of religion, both the Gallic barbarians and the British barbarians were Druidic religions, and both had very powerful Druidic orders. The difference between the two sides was that the Druids of Gaul were generally engaged in actual battles, while the British Druids only encouraged the British warriors before they set out for battle, rather than participating in the battle themselves.

In addition to these regular types of troops similar to those of the Gallic Barbarians, the British Barbarians also had very cost-effective British totemic warriors; These so-called British totem warriors are similar to the fanatical warriors of the Gallic barbarians and Germanic barbarians, but they are poorer in weaponry and care more about the power of faith.

The real elite elite troops of the British barbarians are the unique chariot troops among the barbarians; In fact, the construction of these chariots, which were only controlled by the British Barbarians, also gave the British Barbarians the only chariot troops in the Barbarian world.

Even in civilized countries, the forces with chariot troops are almost all the kingdoms of the East; Those kingdoms are the successors of Alexander the Great, who have had the method of building chariots since the time of Alexander the Great and have formed powerful chariot troops, and other forces have not had such good luck.

As for why the British barbarians had a way to build chariots, it is not for outsiders to know; In short, everyone knows that the British barbarians have two kinds of chariots, a light chariot with a relatively light weight and a heavy chariot with a heavier weight, both of which have unparalleled power on the battlefield and are also terrifying to the enemy!

If the chariot troops of the British barbarians can make the enemy fearful, then the other army of the British barbarians is really to make the enemy smell and change; This army is the most terrifying head-thrower of the British barbarians!

The headers, as the name suggests, also know what this army does; These troops are the British barbarians who have organized themselves on the battlefield to take the heads of the dead of the enemy one by one, and throw these heads at the other enemies in battle.

Thinking about it briefly, when your own army was fighting against the British barbarian army, suddenly a group of people rushed out of the British barbarian army, took the knife in their hands and cut off the heads of their own soldiers who died on the ground, and threw them at the soldiers who were still fighting; Such a scene makes people shudder to think about.

The combined army commanded by Balenus was composed of 20,000 British infantry and 10,000 British warriors, as well as 5,000 British totem warriors and 5,000 British elite warriors; In addition to these 40,000 regular troops, Barenas also has 3,000 light chariot troops, 2,000 heavy chariot troops, and 1,000 headers!

According to the British barbarians, a chariot would be staffed by four warriors, and each chariot would have two groups of men to take turns fighting; That is to say, a light chariot unit of 3,000 people has 375 light chariots, and a heavy chariot troop of 2,000 people has 250 heavy chariots, which is already almost all of the chariot troops owned by the entire British barbarians.

In addition, the British barbarian generals also had the habit of letting their own guards use chariots; Balenas himself's personal guard has a full fifty heavy chariots, which can be regarded as a very powerful force.

After the successful conquest of the Belgian region, the Samaro Briva tribe naturally became history; However, Barenus was not a murderer, and after capturing the armies organized by the Samaro Briva tribe, Barenas did not slaughter them, but took them all under his command, which was nearly 20,000 barbarian warriors.

In fact, the Samaro Briva tribe was a fairly wealthy tribe; As a barbarian tribe connected to both Germanic and Gallic barbarians, and as a major concentration of maritime trade between the British barbarians and the mainland barbarians, the Samaro Briva tribe naturally amassed considerable wealth.

It's just that these precious treasures are only cheaper than Balenas in the end; Yes, it's the Barlenas that is cheaper, not the British barbarians. Barenus was originally the leader of a small tribe, and fighting bravely on the battlefield was only his way of strengthening his tribe; But he didn't expect that the mutual distrust of the four British barbarian tribes would allow him, an outsider, to gain the command of the army!

People are ambitious, especially a careerist like Balenas, who is bent on developing and growing his tribe, and he has extraordinary ambitions; After easily occupying the Belgian region with his army, the fire of ambition in Balenas's heart burned again when he saw the 20,000 enemy troops who had surrendered and the 46,000 mighty troops under his command.

The tribe of Balenas in Upper Britain was but a small tribe with a population of no more than five thousand and a warrior of three hundred; Even though Barenas wanted to develop and grow his tribe wholeheartedly, he still had to maintain a cautious and respectful posture under the suppression of the London tribe, and did not dare to show even a trace of other thoughts.

Today, Balenas has landed on the riches of Belgium and has seized the wealth of countless Samaro Briva tribes accumulated over generations; With an army, territory, and wealth, all three, what else does Balenas need to fulfill his ambitions?

All that Barenus needed was action, and all the gold and silver treasures he had seized were taken out by Barenus to buy the British warriors who were willing to follow him; Soon, the 46,000 warriors cobbled together by the four major tribes of the British barbarians all fell under the money offensive of Balenas.

Immediately afterwards, Barenas succeeded in persuading the 20,000 captives of the Samaro Briva tribe, giving them freedom and at the same time giving them enough money and wealth; As a result, Barenas had 20,000 loyal barbarian warriors under his command.

With an army of 66,000 and a rich and prosperous place in the barbarian world like Belgium, Balenas resolutely broke with the four major tribes of the British barbarians; And all the warships and ships that transported the army to fight across the sea were seized, and the four major tribes of the British barbarians did not have a chance to fight back at all!

The four great tribes of the British barbarians who were so ruthlessly put together by Barenas, in addition to slaughtering the tribes of Barenas in a venting manner, could only stare at the self-respecting Barenas across the sea; However, the four tribes of the British barbarians will not rest on their laurels, they have begun to gather strength again, and they are closely united to take revenge on Balenas!

Unfortunately, having lost the main force and almost all of the chariot troops, as well as almost all the warships and ships, the revenge plan of the British barbarians was only a distant idea; Balenas also knew that the four major tribes native to the British barbarians did not have the strength to retaliate against him in a short period of time, and he did not take the possible counterattack of the four tribes into account.

For Barenas, the isolated island of Britain will no longer be his own world, and the vast continent in front of him is the best stage for him to display his ambitions; The Gallic barbarians, who are in civil strife, are not worthy of ruling the vast land of Gaul at all, and the Amaurica region west of the Belgian region is the Gallic barbarian Rennes tribe, which is also the new goal of Balenas!
