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

With the death of Balenas and the surrender of the remnants of the British barbarian warriors, the war between the British barbarians and the Germanic barbarians was also completely over; Perhaps, in the hearts of Arminius and the others, they still need to continue to attack the Belgian region occupied by the British barbarians in order to completely end this war.

However, Carabes, who had already occupied the Belgian region, understood that after the destruction of the British barbarian army in front of him, all the power of the British barbarians on the continent was truly uprooted; The war between the Germanic barbarians and the British barbarians was officially over, and the remaining questions about the Belgian region were to be mediated by the Mourners.

Although the British barbarian warriors on the battlefield all laid down their arms and surrendered, the Germanic barbarian warriors and the soldiers under the command of Calabis did not dare to relax easily, they were all worried that the other side, who had cooperated with the tacit understanding just now, would suddenly attack again, and no one knew how long the tacit understanding between them could be maintained.

In fact, it was the soldiers on Calabes's side who were really worried; After all, after this bloody battle, the 13,000 soldiers under the command of Calabis were only 8,000 people, while the 80,000 army of the Germanic barbarians only lost about 20,000 people, and they were all soldiers with little combat experience, and those elites still maintained strong combat effectiveness.

With the 8,000 troops of Calabes, against the 60,000 troops of the Germanic barbarians, it is no wonder that the soldiers under the command of Calabes are not worried; However, the embarrassing situation on the battlefield did not last long, and after the Germanic warriors escorted all the surrendered British barbarian troops away, Arminius came to Calabes not far from Calabes, and smiled at Carabes:

"I don't know what the commander of your army is called? In the battle just now, we Germanic soldiers are very grateful for your participation and cooperation; The fact that we were able to annihilate these Britons so smoothly this time is really thanks to your assistance. ”

Carabis not only did not see the slightest treachery in Arminius's smile, but felt the kindness conveyed to him; So, too, he rode his horse a few steps forward, and then replied with a smile:

"You may call me Carabes, the British barbarians are your common enemies with me, and this war is both your war with the British barbarians, and our war with the British barbarians; So, we just fought a war by coincidence.

As for who we are, judging by the men under my command, most of them are Gallic warriors; Don't you think we'll be the army of the Gauls? ”

Calabes's rhetorical question was exchanged for Arminius's laughter, he looked at Calabes frankly, shook his head, and said:

"General Calabes, since you will lead your army into the Lower Germanic regions of our Germanic people, and attack the armies of the British barbarians from the rear, I know that you cannot be the army of the Gauls; If you really want to be a Gallic army, with our Germanic and Gaul relations, I am afraid that you will be on the side of the British barbarian army just now.

If I'm not mistaken, you should be the mysterious friends of the tragic dead man; The Tragic Dead is our most reliable friend of the Germanic people, and the great benefactor who saved our Germanic nation this time, you are the friends of the Tragic Dead, that is, our Germanic friends, come and join us in the bonfire banquet of our Germanic people tonight! ”

Arminius did possess a wisdom that was unattainable by ordinary people, no matter how he guessed the relationship between Calabes and the Tragic Dead; Now that the words have been said and said, Carabes has generously admitted that he is indeed a friend of the tragic dead.

After the soldiers of the Germanic barbarians knew that these people in front of them were all friends of the tragic dead soldiers, they also let down their guard in their hearts and began to greet these friends who had just cooperated with the tacit understanding; Such a scene surprised Karabes, who had never seen the status of the tragic dead in the hearts of the Germanic people.

For all the Germanic barbarians, the Tragic Dead had been a trusted friend of the Germanic people many years ago; There were many Germanic warriors, and his father had some friends of the Tragic Dead, and he himself had friends of the Tragic Dead, and the Tragic Dead became almost synonymous with friends in their minds.

More importantly, the Tragic Dead never asked the Germans to do anything for them, but they often helped some Germanic tribes in need in all aspects; This alone is enough to make the Germanic people who value love and righteousness be grateful to the tragic dead and willing to show their sincerity to the tragic dead man.

In the recent invasion of the Germanic peoples by the Julius family, the Germanic barbarians would have paid a much heavier price if they had not been for the tragic warriors who rushed from one Germanic tribe to another to pass the news from one tribe to another.

Especially in the process of resisting the invasion of the Julius family of the Mainz tribe, Ares and the more than 300 tragic dead soldiers led by him gave the Mainz tribe vital help; It is no exaggeration to say that without the help of the Tragic Dead, the Germans would still be fighting to the death in the Julius family!

With the existence of this relationship between Arminius and Carabes, the relationship between Arminius and Carabesus was immediately harmonious; Those ordinary Germanic warriors also showed the greatest kindness to the soldiers under the command of Karabes, and the atmosphere on the whole battlefield immediately became happy, and there was no longer the embarrassment and vigilance just now.

After leaving the ordinary warriors to clean up the battlefield, Arminius graciously invited Calabes to enter the city to rest with him; After handing over the command of the army to Edam, Calabis also traveled to Badawi with Arminius, along with Rik Bergis, the leader of the Trier tribe, and Iterius, the leader of the Badawi tribe.

After entering the city of Badawi, the leader of Atrilius, who was the landlord, personally led his party to the mansion of the chief of the city to entertain everyone; Just after the four of them entered a spacious and bright living room, a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly appeared.

After seeing this person's appearance, Arminius was not only not surprised, but said with a smile on his face:

"Hades, we haven't seen each other in five years, right? You haven't been to our Damu tribe for five years since you last helped our Dham tribe survive the snowstorm; You're not a friend enough, are you afraid I'll get you drunk? ”

Arminius's joke was met with a burst of laughter from the other two leaders, but Hades shook his head helplessly and did not explain anything, turned his gaze to Calabes, and then said with a smile:

"General Carabes, you must have had a lot of contact with the Tragic Dead in recent times; The existence of our tragic dead is absolutely secret within the family, and even in the whole world, few people know about it, only in this Germanic land, our existence is known to almost everyone.

Because we believe that Germanic friends are trustworthy, and as long as we treat Germanic friends with our sincerity, they will return the most loyal friendship to us; From now on, you should also consider the Germanic people as your best friends. ”

After saying this to Carabes, Hades, as the leader of the Tragic Dead, did not tell Arminius and the others what kind of family the Tragic Dead and Calabis belonged to; He just told Arminius and the others that in fact, the Tragic Dead and Calabes were a real family, a family that did not distinguish between each other, and hoped that the leaders could also accept Carabes as a friend.

In addition, the nominal identity of Calabes, Hades also told Arminius and others in 1510; However, Hades also gave a detailed explanation for this, Carabis was only a nominal subordinate of the Julius family, and in fact did not really obey the orders of the Julius family, nor did he have any ambitions for the Germanic people.

It is rare to see that Hades will also explain something carefully, Arminius and the other three leaders listened to Hades explain for a long time with a smile before smiling and saying that there was no need for so many explanations; Since Hades said that Carabes and the Tragic Dead are one family, then the Germanic people are also one family, where do they need so many explanations.

As for the Greater Gaul and the Belgian region, which had already been occupied by Calabes, Arminius and others expressed no concern; Previously, Arminius was ready to conquer the Greater Gaul region and Belgium in one fell swoop, but it was just to lay a western barrier for the Germanic peoples, and now with Calabes as this western barrier, can the Germanic peoples still feel at ease?

After the relationship between Calabes and the Germans was satisfactorily settled, a secret covenant was made on the spot; Even if Calabes needs to fight a war with the Germans in the future, the leader of the Trier tribe, Ricberges, and the leader of the Badawi tribe, Atrilius, are willing to cooperate with Carabes to fight a 'war'!

In gratitude for the generosity of his Germanic friends, Carabes offered to form a combined legion of the Trier and Badawi tribes under his command; Karabeth assured the two leaders that he would give him three years to help the Trier and Badawi tribes build a top-notch army with strong fighting power!

Hades and Arminius saw that Carabis was so confident, and they were also willing to vouch for Carabes; Ric Burgess and Iterius naturally would not refuse Karabes' kindness, and they were willing to send 10,000 warriors from each tribe to form a combined army of 20,000 men to be trained by Karabes!
