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

The Brutus Empire had a unique advantage that no other empire could match, and the Greek Peninsula was the foundation of Alexander the Great's almost unified world; By occupying the Greek Peninsula, the Macedonian Kingdom gained the most important population and funds for its outward expansion, and it was the existence of the Greek Peninsula that laid the foundation for the birth of Alexander's empire.

Whether the Brutus Empire can build a great empire that is not as fast as Alexander's Empire after obtaining the Greek Peninsula can only depend on the performance of the Brutus Empire itself; They already have the foundation of the great empire, what is missing is the efforts of the Brutus Empire itself, and there will only be one undoubted overlord in the future world.

Compared to the steady development of the Brutus Empire on the Greek Peninsula, the development of the Julius Empire was much more difficult; The large-scale invasion of the Germanic barbarians is really a burden that the empire cannot bear for the Ulius Empire, which has suffered heavy losses!

However, the Ulius Empire is still the Ulius Empire after all, and its profound heritage and great strength are simply incomparable to the Germanic people who are barbarians; The strength of the nine legions was quickly replenished by the Ulius Empire, and even if the Germanic barbarians launched large-scale attacks again and again, the Ulius Empire had no intention of taking a step back.

When Flavis rushed back to Arretion to preside over the founding of the Ulius Empire, Caesar became the supreme commander of all the forces of the Ulius family in the Norricum region; The battle in the Norikum region was no match for the forces of the Ulius Empire in Germanic lands, where the forces of the Ulius Empire were ready to receive supplies and reinforcements from the rear.

However, the army of the Germanic barbarians needed to provide logistical supplies to the army in front through long supply lines, and the productivity of the Germanic barbarians was already low, so they naturally could not withstand such delays; After the Germanic barbarians' plan for a quick victory failed, Arminius, who led the army, felt that Norikum was trying to destroy the army of the Julius Empire through a decisive battle.

Although Caesar's army was no match for the Germanic barbarians in terms of combat effectiveness, it had an absolute advantage in numbers; No matter how fierce the Germanic barbarian army launched, Caesar would let his army meet the enemy in more numbers than the enemy, and even if he couldn't defeat the enemy, he would drag the enemy to death!

After Flavis formally established the Roman Ulius Empire, he began to focus all his energy on restoring the strength of the Ulius Empire; In the battle in the Norikum area, Flavis believes that Caesar can do well, and the key is whether the rear of the Ulius Empire can always hold on to the fierce battle ahead and withstand the huge casualties.

Flavis's two sons alone could not accomplish this important task, so Flavis himself sat in the rear and coordinated the strength of the Julius Empire to reinforce Caesar's battle in the Norikum area; In addition, the vigorous development of the territory of the Julius Empire in Gaul was also a key policy of Flavies.

With the successive victories of Calabis in the land of Gaul, half of the entire land of Gaul was already the territory of the Julius Empire, and Flavies naturally could not let such a huge territory still be at a backward level of development; Flavius believed that as long as Julius Empire developed the territory of Gaul, it would be the foundation of the eternal empire that was not inferior to the Greek peninsula!

Unfortunately, development in Gaul was too difficult; It is not easy to transport large quantities of supplies across the Alps to the Gallic region beyond the mountains, let alone other concrete development measures.

The Ulius Empire's efforts to focus on the development of the Gallic lands soon proved to be futile, as the Gallic barbarians were in many ways unwilling to accept the development policies of the Ulius Empire, and even the officials sent by the Ulius Empire were driven out by their concerted efforts, and Carabis was helpless, after all, he was just a simple military commander.

In the end, Julius gave up the development of the Gallic lands, and devoted all its efforts to the governance and development of the five provinces south of the Alps. Excluding the war that has not stopped in the Norikum area, the rear development of the entire Ulius Empire is still relatively smooth.

The improvement of the overall strength of the empire will naturally bring more benefits to the army fighting at the front; Caesar's army was quickly replenished after each heavy casualty, and in many cases the quality of the replenished troops even exceeded the quality of the original army.

Fighting again and again, Caesar's army continued to pay heavy casualties, and at the same time, the combat effectiveness of Caesar's army was also constantly improving; No one can deny that brutal war is the best medicine for the growth of an elite division.

From the initial annihilation of a thousand Germanic barbarian warriors, the Julius Emperor ** team needed to pay a minimum of 5,000 casualties, to the current annihilation of 1,000 Germanic barbarian warriors, the army of the Julius Empire only needed to pay a maximum of 1,500 casualties, and the war made the army under Caesar's command also made leaps and bounds in combat effectiveness.

More importantly, Caesar's clear rewards and punishments and heroic decisiveness made all the troops in the Norikum region full of Caesar's personality cult; In particular, Caesar's generosity in money made all the soldiers under his command willing to sacrifice everything for Caesar, which is exactly what Flavis wanted to see.

The combined forces of the seven tribes of the Germanic barbarians launched a war of invasion against the Norikum region that lasted for three years, and Caesar's army defended the Norikum region for three years; Three years later, the invading Germanic barbarian army had already suffered more than 50,000 casualties, while Caesar's army still maintained a full force of nine legions.

It was not that Caesar's army had no casualties, but that no matter how heavy the casualties of Caesar's army were, it could be quickly replenished within a month, which the combined forces of the Germanic barbarians could not hope for; At this time, less than 30,000 Germanic barbarians were still holding on to the battle, and the three newly formed legions of the Julius Empire were on their way to reinforce Caesar.

After three years of fighting, Caesar's command has a real lion in a hundred battles, since the Ulius Empire has such a powerful army, and the Germanic barbarian army on the opposite side is fighting less and less, why didn't the army of the Ulius Empire start a large-scale counterattack against the Germanic barbarians?

Caesar decided to reunite his army to launch an offensive war against the Germanic barbarians, and Flavies, as Emperor Julius, agreed to Caesar's suggestion and sent Caesar three fully equipped recruits and 20,000 recruits who could replenish the casualties at any time.

With the support of 50,000 troops from the rear of the empire, Caesar's army immediately launched a counterattack against the Germanic barbarian army that was still in the Norikum region; How could a Germanic barbarian warrior of less than 30,000 people reach the attack of the 140,000 Julius Empire's army, not to mention that there are 90,000 elite divisions fought in the three-year battle!

In just three days, the 30,000-strong army of the Germanic barbarians was wiped out by Caesar's army, more than two-thirds of the troops, and the remaining one-third was also completely withdrawn to the Aglidigumat region; This time, Caesar did not choose to divide his forces to attack the Germanic lands, but gathered ten legions of all his forces to attack the region of Boheim, which was occupied by the Germanic barbarians.

In addition to the two legions that remained in the Norikum area, the remaining ten legions and tens of thousands of reserve soldiers were all led by Caesar to launch an attack on the Germanic barbarians; In the Poheim region, only the 5,000 Germanic army in the Macomani region was defended, and it was no match for the imperial army of Julius at all, and half a month later, the Poheim region became the occupation of Caesar's army again.

After settling the Germanic army in the Poheim area, Caesar led his army to launch an attack on the Macomani region in one go; This time, it was not the former Macomani tribe that faced the army of the Ulius Empire in the Macomani region, but the more hardened Vercaris and his tens of thousands of improvised organized Macomani army.

In the face of the invasion army of the Julius Empire, the Damm tribe in the north of the Macomani region also quickly sent 20,000 reinforcements, while the Mainz tribe in the west of the Macomani region did not have the strength to reinforce the Macomani army; During the three-year war of the Julius Empire, the Mainz tribe was consumed almost all of its strength, and it is still recovering helplessly.

The army of the Ulius Empire, which has eaten a trench and grown wise, is no longer arrogant and arrogant this time, and there is no rash attack on the enemy, and these elite Ulius Emperor ** team is advancing steadily under the leadership of Caesar, and the strength of the Germanic barbarian army is consumed little by little.

After more than a year of arduous fighting, the entire region of Macomani was finally conquered by the superior army of the Julius Empire; Even Vrkaris in the Macomani region could only lead the remnants of the army to flee to the Qadi region of the Damu tribe.

After taking the Macomani area, Caesar did not immediately continue the attack, but constantly demanded reinforcements from the rear; After replenishing the army of the ten legions to full strength, Caesar began a new offensive.

This time, Caesar did not gather all his strength to attack the Damu tribe in the Qadi region, but only led the forces of five legions to continue the march to the Qadi region; The soldiers of the other three legions, led by Rabinus, set out from the northeast of the Macomani region to directly attack the Gothic tribes in the east of the Damm tribe!
