- Homer (Homer, the blind poet of ancient Greece)

Although the Damu tribe was the most powerful tribe of the Germanic barbarians, the Qadi region was also the most prosperous region in the Germanic lands; However, the prosperity of the Qadi region is limited, and the strength of the Damu tribe is also limited, and after losing tens of thousands of elite Germanic warriors one after another, it is impossible for the Damu tribe to organize more armies in a short period of time.

When Caesar's army reached the Qadi region, the total strength of the Damu tribe that could be used to meet Caesar's army was only 15,000 Damu tribe warriors; No one thought that the army of the Julius Empire would almost completely annihilate the tens of thousands of allied forces of the Germanic barbarians in the Macomani region, and the armies of the Bodenshom and Gothic tribes were still on their way to reinforce the Dahm tribes.

This time, Caesar did not leave any regrets for himself, but led his four legions to attack the army of the Dahm tribe as quickly as possible; The stubborn resistance of the warriors of the Damu tribe could not change the absolute difference in numbers between the two armies, nor could they save the fate of the defeat of the Damu tribe, which was destined to belong to Caesar.

After the destruction of the army of the Damu tribe, Caesar's army, which had paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties, immediately launched an attack on the core area of the Damu tribe; Before reinforcements from the Bodenshom and Goths arrived, the most powerful of the Germanic barbarians, the Dahm tribe, was destroyed, but Arminius retreated to the region of Agridigumat under the protection of Vercaris.

Upon learning of the fall of the Damm tribe, the reinforcements of the Bodenshom and Gothic tribes immediately chose to retreat at full speed; The army of the Bodenshom tribe was lucky enough to return to the Saxon region, but the army of the Gothic tribe was ambushed by the army of Rabinus on the way, and was completely annihilated by the army of Rabinus.

It turned out that on the fourth day after the Gothic tribe sent out to reinforce the army of the Damm tribe, the three legions led by Rabinus entered the Gothic region; How could the Gothic tribe after losing the main army be the opponent of the three legions of Rabinus, before Caesar's army destroyed the Damm tribe, Rabinus's army had already wiped out the Gothic tribe.

After conquering the Gothic region, Rabinus led his three legions westward to the region of Cadi to join Caesar's main army; Unexpectedly, on the way, he found the main army of the Gothic tribe retreating in a hurry, so Rabinus annihilated all the cavalry troops of the Gothic tribe by the way.

After conquering four Germanic barbarian regions in succession, Caesar did not let go of the Bodenshom tribe, who wanted to reinforce the Dam tribe; As soon as Rabinus led his army into the territory of the Qadi region, Caesar's order for Rabinus to lead his army to attack the northern Bodenshom tribe was sent to Rabinus, and Rabinus naturally led his army to carry out the order.

Half a month later, Rabinus led a large army that had eliminated the Bodenshom tribe and completed the occupation of the Saxon region to the Kadi region; By this time, Caesar's army had completely occupied more than half of the Germanic lands. More crucially, four of the seven tribes of the Germanic barbarians had been completely wiped out by Caesar's army.

In order to resist the strong army of the Ulius Empire, the Germanic barbarians regrouped 80,000 Germanic warriors in the Agripucumat region, where the Mainz tribe was located, and prepared to fight to the death against the invading army of the Ulius Empire; These 80,000 Germanic warriors included not only the combined forces of all the Germanic barbarian tribes, but also the 20,000 elite divisions trained by Karabes for the Germanic barbarians.

After learning that Caesar led an army to relaunch an attack on the Germanic barbarians, Carabes, in order to have enough reasons not to participate in this war, took the initiative to lead all the troops under his command to launch a new round of attacks against the Gaul barbarians; In addition, Karabes quickly returned to the two tribes the elite troops he had helped train the Badawi and Trier tribes.

After receiving this elite army of 20,000 people, the Badawi and Trier tribes did not immediately send them to reinforce the Germanic barbarian army that was fighting against the Julius Empire in front, but transferred another 5,000 warriors from their respective tribes to form an army of 30,000 men before being sent to the Agripudat region at one time.

With these 30,000 reinforcements from the Badawi and Trier tribes, the Germanic barbarian coalition led by Arminius gathered 80,000 men; At this time, Caesar's army only had 70,000 troops left after several battles, and it would take at least two months for reinforcements from the rear of Julius' empire to reach the Cadi region.

Whether it was Caesar and his army victorious, or the Germanic barbarian alliance that had lost its troops, neither side had the intention of waiting for the right time to go to war again; Only half a month later, a huge Armageddon broke out between Caesar's army and the Germanic barbarian coalition, with a total of 150,000 troops on both sides.

It was a battle without a winner, beginning with the rising sun in the morning and ending at nightfall; Caesar's army paid the price of nearly 50,000 casualties in the battle, and the losses of the Germanic barbarians were not light.

After the end of this decisive battle, the Germanic barbarians will not have the strength to counterattack the Julius Empire again for three or five years, and the Julius Empire has temporarily lost the strength to continue attacking the Germanic barbarians; Coupled with the fact that the Germanic barbarian regions newly occupied by the Ulius Empire were still in the midst of occasional rebellions, the Ulius Empire's offensive was stopped.

Although Caesar's army did not conquer the entire Germanic barbarians at once, it also expanded the territory of five new provinces for the Ulius Empire, which is equivalent to the entire territory of the Ulius Empire. In recognition of Caesar's merits, Flavies, as Emperor of the Empire, asked Caesar to return to the Empire to receive the cheers of all the subjects of the Empire.

On the day Caesar returned to Aretien, Flavies held a grand welcome ceremony for Caesar, and countless citizens of the Empire of Julius in the city of Aretien poured into the streets to catch a glimpse of Caesar; The young and handsome Caesar not only made the young girls cheer, but even the middle-aged people were shocked by Caesar's youth.

Taking advantage of this celebratory atmosphere, Flavis officially announced Caesar as the emperor's successor to the Empire of Julius in his next speech! Even after Flavis ascended to the throne of emperor, Quintus Julius did not understand why his father did not change his status from family heir to emperor heir; This is the real purpose!

The people of the Ulius Empire were naturally happy that the heroic Caesar had become the successor of the Emperor, but all the important ministers of the Ulius Empire sensed the impending crisis; If nothing else, Caesar's status as the successor to the emperor of the empire will plunge the originally stable Ulius empire into civil strife in an instant.

As expected, Quintus went to ask Flavies why Caesar had appointed Caesar as the Emperor's heir on the night of the ceremony. In the face of the aggressive Quintus, Flavis's answer was only one sentence, that is: I, Fravis is the emperor of this empire, and I have the right to decide everything!

The dejected Quintus left Flavies' palace with a blank gaze and returned to his mansion; The storm surrounding the Emperor's heir was far from over with a word from Flavies, and was just beginning.

When the Ulius family was thriving before, how many aristocratic and wealthy merchants in the territory of the Ulius family chose to support Quintus, the next family leader of the Ulius family; These aristocratic costumes cost Quintus countless times, just hoping that Quintus would be able to answer everyone after he became the head of the family.

Later, with the establishment of the Roman Julius Empire, there were even more aristocratic and wealthy merchants who followed Quintus, after all, Quintus was the rightful heir to the emperor, who would not want to be the future emperor of the empire in the empire in which he lived?

No one thought that Flavis, as the emperor of the empire, would make such a move, and the young Caesar would cross Quintus and become the successor of the emperor of Julius; Such a result was unacceptable to the vast majority of the powerful people in the Ulius Empire.

In this way, these magnates naturally wanted to unite closely and began to help Quintus regain the inheritance of the Emperor Julius; Even if Flavies appointed Caesar as the heir to the Emperor, as long as Caesar has not yet sat on the throne of the Emperor, Quintus still has hope, right?

While the internal turmoil of Julius' empire was surging, Calabis completed the complete conquest of the Gallic barbarians in the land of Gaul; In other words, from now on, there will be no more Gallic barbarians in this world, and the entire Gallic land will already be part of the Julius Empire.

After the succession of Caesar and Carabes, the territory of Julius's empire finally expanded to a vast territory of nineteen provinces; Compared to the Roman Brutus Empire, which had only seven provinces, the Roman Empire, which had only four provinces, and the Roman Augustan Empire, which had only eleven provinces, the Roman Julius Empire was the first Roman empire that deserved!

As for the army, the Julius Empire had three fully established legions on its own territory, and twelve legions under the command of Caesar north of the Alps, which was a strong strength of fifteen legions; Add in the ten legions under the command of Calabes, and the Ulius Empire will have an army of twenty-five legions!
