- Solon (ancient Athenian statesman, legislator, poet, one of the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece)

The rebel Oscar on the Iberian Peninsula was left to Luquis, after possessing the most elite Guards Infantry and Guards Cavalry of the Augustan Empire; Although Luquis's legion was only six, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and it was impossible for Calis and Lucas's rebels to survive on the Iberian Peninsula for long.

More crucially, the Augustan Empire had a very high prestige in the Iberian Peninsula, and how could the people of the Spanish nation turn their backs on their saints and follow the rebels; Coupled with the blockade of the Iberian Peninsula by the navy of the Augustan Empire, the rebels of Calis and Lucas did not even have a chance to escape, they could only be slaughtered by the Augustan Empire on the Iberian Peninsula!

Even if Luquis and his two legions could not participate in the attack on Rome proper, the fifteen legions under Calabes's command would be enough to complete the rest of the battle on their own; At this time, the army of the Julius Empire stationed in the Germanic lands had been reduced to four legions, and the other four legions were driven back to the Eulius Empire by Caesar.

Even if the Ulius Empire still had six legions stationed in Greater Gaul and Belgium, the armies of the Germanic barbarians had already formed an absolute numerical superiority over the Ulius Empire; Coupled with the fact that the Tragic Dead had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Imperial army of Julius, such information was naturally immediately provided to the Germanic barbarians and Calabes by the Tragic Dead.

So Calabes divided his forces in the area of Narpung Gaul, and the commander of the Second Legion, Cadoradu, was to lead the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Legions from the northeast of Narpung Gaul; When the five legions led by Kadoradu reached Greater Gaul, the Trier and Badawi tribes of the Germanic barbarians would fight alongside the Cadoradu legions.

With 50,000 troops of five legions under his command, and 80,000 troops of the two major Germanic barbarian tribes, he jointly launched an attack on the six legions of the Julius Empire; It was an almost impossible battle to lose, because the Greater Gaul and Belgium were already the territory of Calabes, and how could the six legions of the Ulius Empire win the battle when the time and place were unfavorable.

In addition to this aspect of the battle, Carabis also had the Mourning Dead join forces of the Germanic barbarians in the region of Agripgumat to attack the garrisons of the Julius Empire in the Germanic lands; With the current strength of the Germanic barbarian alliance, the four legions of the Julius Empire could not be the opponent of the Germanic barbarian alliance at all, and Carabes needed the Germanic army to win as soon as possible.

Carabes also had the Tragic Dead convey to the Germanic barbarian coalition his other hope, that is, the main force of the Germanic barbarian coalition would occupy the Norikum region in two months as much as possible; Only in this way can Calabes ensure that the Empire of Julius does not have the slightest chance of turning around, and the Empire of Augustus can win a clean and beautiful victory.

After making a general arrangement for the Germanic barbarian alliance, General Cadoradu also set out for the Greater Gaul region with an army of five legions; And Carabis himself personally led the remaining ten legions to advance to the mainland of the Julius Empire.

From Narpung Gaul to Beyond the Mountains, this road is the land of Gaul that Karabes once conquered, and it is also the territory of Karabes's loyalty; In his march on the land of Gaul, Calabis did not even need to hide the traces of his army.

As long as it crosses the Alps and enters the Ulius Empire itself, how can the Ullius Empire, which is empty inside, be the opponent of the army of Calabes; You must know that the current Ulius Empire has only nine legions that can be directly mobilized, of which four legions are still stationed in the Illyrian region, and the four legions of Caesar's army are also stationed in the Veneto region.

This means that the Julius Empire only had one First Army in the Etruscan region, and the other regions of Regulia, the Gallic region of Shannei, and the region of Ubria did not have any troops stationed at all; As for the five new recruit legions of the Julius Empire, they haven't even put their soldiers and weapons and equipment in order, so how can they talk about combat effectiveness?

Just as the army of Calabes reached the vicinity of the Alps and began to cross the Alps, the five legions of Cadorado also arrived in the Greater Gaul region; The Trier and Badawi tribes of the Germanic barbarians had long been prepared for war with the advance notice of the tragic dead, and the 40,000 troops of their respective tribes were also confronting the forces of the Julius Empire in the border area.

When the five legions of Cadoradu arrived in Alesia, the garrison of the province of Greater Gaul immediately informed Cadoradour of all the movements of the army of the Empire of Julius; After that, Cadoradu led his men to the border and attacked them from the rear of the Imperial army of Julius.

The unprepared Ulius Empire army was soon besieged by the Trier tribe and the Cadorado army, and the three legions of the Ulius Empire were wiped out in less than two hours; Less than 8,000 Ulius Empire soldiers were killed in battle, and the remaining 20,000 or so were all taken prisoner by Cadorad.

After sending these captives to the city of Alesia, Cadoradu left the Tenth Legion to guard the captives in the city of Alesia, while he himself continued to march north with the remaining four legions and an army of more than 30,000 men of the Trier tribe; The Ulius Empire still has three legions to deal with in the Belgian region, and the 40,000-strong army of the Badawi tribe is ready to fight.

Nearly 40,000 of Kadoradu's army, plus 30,000 of the Trier tribe and 40,000 of the Badawi tribe; With a total of more than 110,000 allied troops, the three legions of the Julius Empire launched an attack, and it was simply an easy and stress-free war.

The 110,000 allied forces of the Germanic barbarians in the region of Agripundumat did not disappoint Karabes, after receiving the request from the Dead of Sorrow; Arminius divided the Germanic barbarian alliance into two parts, of which the main army of 80,000 troops would be responsible for the all-out attack on the Imperial legions of Julius stationed in the Germanic lands.

The 40,000-strong army, led by Odovaka and Langadis, attacked directly from the southeast of the Aglidigumat region to the Norikum region of the Julius Empire; When the army of Carabis crossed the Alps, the 40,000 troops of the Germanic barbarian alliance also occupied the Norikum region, completely blocking the road to the Germanic land of the Julius Empire!

Ten years earlier, Calabes' army had left the Empire of Julius through this passage to the Alps and had entered the savage lands of Gaul to begin their campaign; Ten years later, Calabes' army returned to the mainland of the Ulius Empire through this passage.

The only difference may be that when he left, there were only four legions under the command of Calabes, including thousands of soldiers recruited from the Alpine tribes, and the total strength was less than 30,000; Now Calabes's command is already a mighty army of 120,000 troops in ten legions, and the rapidly rising Ulius Empire has also become the target of Calabes's attack this time.

The governor of the province of Regulia of the Julius Empire, after discovering that Calabes was approaching Sedista with an army of more than 100,000 troops, he thought that Carabis had returned to the Ulius Empire at the call of Flavis; Didn't Flavies recall Caesar and his army stationed in Germanic land? It is also normal to recall Karabes and his army now.

The governor who opened the gates was greeted by a roaring cavalry and a sword around his neck, and in just five days the whole of Regulia was occupied by the army of Calabes; Even the army of Calabes did not actually fight a single battle, and the region of Regulia fell.

The fall of the province of Regulia allowed Calabes to lead the army to counterattack the Ulius Empire The information was sent, and Caesar, who was still leading the army to the Norricum region, immediately gave up the march to the Norricum region after learning this urgent information, and led the army to the Etruscan region of the Ulius Empire.

When Flavis learned of this, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, and even all the powerful ministers of the Ulius Empire did not understand why Calabis wanted to betray the Ulius Empire, did he want to stand on his own feet in Gaul?

Even if he wanted to stand on his own, there was no need to launch an attack on the Julius Empire, which would have no practical meaning other than the Augustan Empire and the Germanic barbarians for nothing, and would also lose the strength of Calabes's own hands.

No matter what the people of the Empire of Julius think, and no matter how incredulous Flavis's heart is, no one can deny the strength of Calabes and his army, and the Empire of Julius has no choice but to defend Aretion with all its might; The First Legion of Vibius and the five new legions that were still being formed all marched into Aretion, and a steady stream of food, grass, and weapons and equipment were also transported into Arettion.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the 120,000-strong army of Calabes had already crossed the border between the Regulian and Etruscan regions and entered the Etruscan region; Four days later, Calabes' 120,000-strong army was on the march of Aretien, while Caesar's army of 40,000 was still on the road north of the Rubicon.
