The so-called equality means that the poor do not take advantage of the rich. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ares and the others can do their best to improve the combat effectiveness of the Mainz tribe warriors in a short period of time, but they can't fundamentally let the Mainz tribe have the capital to confront the army of the Julius family; Even if the Mainz tribe could thwart the attack of the Julius family at one time, it would not be possible to resist the attack of the Julius family's main army.
Therefore, at the beginning, the wise men of the tragic dead thought of a solution for the Mainz tribe to immediately call on the Germanic barbarian tribes in other regions to support themselves; As long as the Mainz tribe had the support of other tribes, it would not have been possible for the Julius family to defeat the combined army of several Germanic barbarian tribes in the Germanic jungle.
Saddovaca, a natural donkey, believed that the forces of the Julius family that Ares had told him would soon attack the Mainz tribe; He was also willing to hand over all the warriors of his Mainz tribe to the Ares men for training.
However, he was reluctant to ask for help from the other Germanic barbarian tribes; The reason is also very simple, the warriors of the Mainz tribe have not yet fought the enemy, how can they cowardly look for reinforcements before the battle has even begun?
Odovaka regarded it as a cowardly thing to ask for help from the other Germanic tribes beforehand, and made sure that the battle with the invaders was over; Although Ares and Odovaka are good friends, Ares can't say much about this kind of major matter involving the internal decision-making of the Mainz tribe, so he has no choice but to let Odovaka go.
However, there was another thing that made Ares laugh and cry angrily at Odovaka; It turned out that after learning that the army of the Julius family had officially entered the Aglidigumat of the Mainz tribe, he was furious and immediately wanted to lead the army to meet it.
This is not something that Ares cannot accept, the enemy is coming, and it is only natural that Odovaka will lead his army to meet him; But the crux of the matter is that when Odovaka led his army to meet the enemy, he did not bring the 5,000 female warriors with good combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of the Germanic female warriors may not be as good as those of the Germanic warriors who are fierce, but the number of five thousand is also a large combat force; Odovaka's paranoia still turned all of Ares's persuasion into a final wry smile.
After Odovaka's expedition, Ares soon received information from the other Sorrowful Dead; Another army of the House of Julius, also consisting of three legions, had launched a direct attack from the Poheim region against the Germanic barbarian Macomani tribe in the Macomani region, and quickly occupied the entire Macomani region!
To make matters worse, the army of the House of Julius, having occupied the Poheim and Macomani regions, did not stop their attack, but immediately marched again on the Damu tribes in the Qadi region; The rapid march of the Julius family's army completely shocked Ares in the city of Mainz, and also made the situation of the Mainz tribe critical.
The Germanic barbarian tribes reinforced by the Tragic Dead are not only the Mainz tribes in the Agricum Matt region, but also the Macomani tribes in the Macomani region are also the key reinforcements of the Tragic Dead Soldiers; After all, both tribes were the first Germanic barbarian tribes to bear the brunt of the attacks of the Julius family.
But no one could have imagined that the Macomani, the weakest of the seven Germanic barbarian tribes, would be occupied so quickly; Ares believed that with the presence of the Tragic Dead and the Germanic warriors of the Macomani tribe, the revolt in the Macomani region would never cease.
However, there is one thing that Ares has to admit, that is, after the fall of the Macomani region, Damu in the Qadi region is also in danger of being attacked; It is impossible for the Bodenshom and Gothic tribes of the seven Germanic barbarian tribes to reinforce the Mainz tribe, and they must immediately reinforce the Damm tribe that is closer to them.
Together with the destroyed Macomani tribe and the Dam tribe that are under attack, four of the seven major Germanic barbarian tribes have been removed, and the only ones left to support the Mainz tribe are the Trier tribe in the Upper Germanic region and the Badawi tribe in the Lower Germanic region; Even these two tribes could not fully reinforce the Mainz tribe.
the Trier tribes of Upper Germania, whose main duty was to fend off the military invasions of the Gallic barbarians; Even if the Gallic barbarians were no longer able to invade the Germanic barbarians, it was impossible for the Trier tribes to send too many troops to reinforce the Mainz tribes, after all, they still needed to leave enough troops to defend against the Gallic barbarians.
The Lower Germanic Badawi tribe, opposite them is the British barbarians who have risen rapidly in recent years, these British barbarians from overseas also have strong strength and ambition, so that the Gallic barbarian Rennes tribe and the Germanic barbarian Badawi tribe are overwhelmed, and their respective armies are also highly alert British barbarians.
As a result, the current situation made it impossible for the Mainz tribe to obtain reinforcements from other Germanic barbarian tribes to turn the tide, and the Mainz tribe had to rely on its own strength to deal with the attack of the Julius family; That's why Ares came with five thousand Germanic warriors to reinforce Odovaka.
Ares didn't pay attention to Odovaka's roar, he just asked the Mournful Dead warriors around him to settle the five thousand female warriors, and then he went to Odovaka on his own and pulled Odova to a large tree nearby.
"Do you think I'm willing to let these women of your Mainz tribe go to the battlefield with weapons and fight the army of House Julius? I have just received news that another army of the House of Julius has invaded the Macomani region of the Macomani tribe from the Poheim region, and has successfully defeated the Macomani tribe's army and occupied the Macomani area.
However, the army of the House of Julius did not stop the attack, and after leaving a legion of nearly 10,000 men to garrison the Macomani area, they launched an attack on the Damu tribe in the Qadi region with the strength of two entire legions.
Do you know what that means? This means that none of the four tribes east and north of the Mainz tribe will have reinforcements to support the Mainz tribe; And the Trier and Badawi tribes west of the Mainz tribe, do you need to talk about what their armies need to guard against? You tell me, what else can you do but use every force of the Mainz tribe to hold on? ”
Ares's words were like boulders smashed into Odovaca's heart, and a strong-willed person like Odovaca was a little dizzy; He didn't even have time to think, so he stammered and asked:
"This ...... This...... How is this possible? How could the Macomani tribe, one of the seven tribes of our Germanic people, be destroyed by the army of the Julius family? ”
Looking at the jaw-dropping Odovaka, Ares also sighed helplessly, and then explained with a little comfort:
"Don't think too much about it, Odovaka, the Macomani tribe is not destroyed; It's just that the 5,000 troops of the Macomani tribe have been wiped out by the legions of the Julius family, and their leader has also been killed in battle, and the city of Macomani built by the Macomani tribe back then was also occupied by the Ulyus family, but the people of the Macomani tribe are inexhaustible for the Julius family! ”
Even so, Odovaka's eyebrows were full of disbelief; The Macomani tribe, which had been breeding in the Germanic land for hundreds of years, was instantly beaten like this by the enemy, which couldn't help but make Odovaka feel sad.
The seven tribes of the Germanic barbarians were not the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians who hated each other, but the seven brother tribes that united together to defend their homeland and expand their territory; Now, what happened to the Macomani tribe made Odovaka, the leader of the Mainz tribe, feel uncomfortable, and soon this discomfort turned into hatred for the Julius family.
Odovaka looked back at the battlefield where the day's battle had taken with bloodthirsty and tyrannical eyes, but turned to Ares and said:
"Ares, I agree with your suggestion to let those female warriors go into battle; Plus, I need you to do me a favor. What you said before makes sense, that the strength of our Mainz tribe is simply not strong enough to reach the attack of this so-called Julius family; However, we have to rely on our own strength to deal with these invaders.
Therefore, I will recruit all the Germanic warriors who will voluntarily resist the invaders throughout the region of Agridigumat; All the weapons of our Mainz tribe are stacked in the treasury in the city of Mainz, and I will hand over these weapons and the newly recruited Germanic warriors to you, I hope you can help me train them well and make them real warriors! ”
Met Odovaka's expectant eyes, Ares nodded firmly, and promised:
"Odovaka, you can rest assured and boldly fight in front, I will take my soldiers to train warriors for your Mainz tribe; As long as I'm in the rear, you'll get the reinforcements you want. If it really comes to the end of the mountain, I will stand with you and fight side by side with you until the last moment! ”
This time, Odovaka didn't say anything more, but gave Ares a heavy pat on the shoulder, and then turned back to his army; And Ares, too, went straight to the soldiers under his command and took them on the road to Mainz again.
A war against the Germanic barbarians, initiated by the House of Julius, has involved both Calabes, who was far away in Gaul, and the tragic dead who have remained mysterious; Next, the direction of this war is unpredictable, and who is the winner of this war can only wait until the day when the water is revealed!
