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

The combined forces of the Badawi and Trier tribes are still surrounded in Badawi City, and the British army of Balenas is also blocking the water pavilion surrounded by Badawi; Regarding the reinforcement of Badawi City by the Trier tribe, Balenas did not feel that there was anything wrong.

The unity among the tribes of the Germanic barbarians was well known to all the barbarians; The Trier tribe and the Badawi tribe were both the main tribes of the Germanic barbarians, and it was not a big deal to help each other.

More crucially, the failure of the Alesian tribe of the Gallic barbarians to attack the Trier tribe was also known to Balenas; The defeat of the Alesian tribe can only be described as anticipatory.

The combat effectiveness of the Gallic barbarians is not as good as that of the Germanic barbarians, which is also a recognized fact in the barbarian world, otherwise the Germanic barbarians would not have been able to suppress the Gaul barbarians for more than a hundred years; Since the Seven Years' War between these two barbarian powers, the Germanic barbarians have expanded together to become the top barbarian power in the barbarian world, while the Gallic barbarians are still obsessed with the glory of the past.

Once upon a time, the Gallic barbarians were the well-deserved overlords of the entire barbarian world, and their existence was almost unmatched by all barbarians; Even those civilized nations could not match the military strength of the once powerful Gallic barbarians.

It is a pity that these things are already a thing of the past, and the current Gallic barbarians are just a shell with a strong name; The Gallic barbarians, who fought among the various tribes, had long since been reduced to a second-rate force in the barbarian world.

The powerful Germanic barbarians aside, even the Dacian barbarians and Scythian barbarians further east also possessed power that was not weaker than the Gaul barbarians; Even the Spanish barbarians in a remote corner of the country knew that they were silently accumulating strength, and the British barbarians, who were isolated overseas, also knew how to actively expand outward, but the Gaul barbarians were still mired in internal strife.

How could such a Gallic barbarian possess great strength? How can even the Alesian tribe, the so-called most powerful of the Gallic barbarians, compare to the Trier tribes, which are the most powerful of the Germanic barbarians?

The defeat of the Alesian tribe was only a matter of time before it was in the eyes of Balenas; Brenus thought that Barenas was genuinely cooperating with him, and that Barenas was only using the Alesian tribe to hold back the powerful Trier tribe.

Balenas's strategy proved to be a great success; Although the Alesian tribe of Brenus was defeated in the war, they at least greatly consumed the strength of the Trier tribe, which is what Barenas wants to see.

Balenas himself did not know the leader of the Trier tribe, Rick Burgess, nor did he know that the eight thousand Trier tribe warriors today were led by Rick Burgess himself; But one thing Barenas can be sure of is that the Trier tribe army in front of him, which was heavily damaged by his British chariot troops, should be the most reinforcements that the Trier tribe can come up with.

No matter how powerful the Trier tribe is, it is only a tribe of Germanic barbarians, how many troops can such a tribe gather? If the limit is about 40,000, it is impossible to exceed the number of 40,000; Otherwise, with the strength of any barbarian tribe, it would be impossible to raise such a large number of troops.

Needless to say, Barrenas's judgment in this regard is extremely accurate; The seven major tribes of the entire Germanic barbarians, with the largest number of armies, are the 40,000 army of the Trier tribe and the 30,000 army of the Dam tribe, the Dam tribe is relying on its own wealth and strength to feed the 30,000 army, but that is also the limit number of the Dam tribe, it is impossible to have more.

and the 40,000-strong army of the Trier tribes, that is, a large army against the Gallic barbarians that the entire Germanic barbarians jointly fed; Except for those warriors, who were composed of young men from the Trier tribe, other weapons and equipment and supplies were jointly provided by other tribes, among which the weapons and supplies provided by the Dam tribe accounted for the majority.

In Barenas's view, even if the Trier tribe really had an army of 40,000 and sent about 5,000 troops to reinforce the Germanic proper, a large number of troops were consumed by the 40,000 army of the Alesian tribe; Even if the Trier tribe defeated the Alesian tribe, it would be impossible to send all the troops to reinforce the Badawi tribe, and 8,000 troops should be the largest force drawn by the Trier tribe.

As for the other tribes of the Germanic homeland, they are still facing the invasion of the House of Julius; In addition to taking care of themselves, they also need reinforcements from the Badawi tribe and the Trier tribe in the border area, how can they have extra troops to reinforce the Badawi tribe.

In view of this, Balenus still surrounded the city of Badawi unhurriedly, waiting for the food and grass in Badawi to be exhausted, and then recruiting the warriors of the Germanic barbarians who were strong in battle; In particular, the general who commanded the reinforcements of the Trier tribe regretted his own chariot troops, and he was a battlefield general that Barenas greatly admired.

At this time, Barenas did not know that this Germanic general, whom he admired so much that he even intended to recruit for his own use, was the leader of the Trier tribe, the most combat-ready of the Germanic barbarians, Rike Burgess; If he had known the identity of Rick Burgess, he would have regretted not killing him on the spot.

After this battle, the British army of Balenas and the Germanic defenders of Badawi were once again locked in a military standoff; The Germanic warriors inside the city confidently waited for the arrival of reinforcements from Lord Arminius, and the British barbarian army outside the city also confidently waited for the defenders in the city to surrender when they ran out of food and grass.

On the other hand, the generals under the command of the Greater Gaul region continued to conquer the large and small Gallic barbarian tribes in the Greater Gaul, and also made full use of the captured Alesian tribesmen; Because the First Legion of Calabis needed to sit in the city of Alesia, and Itami's Third Legion was a cavalry legion, the only one that could be used to conquer the battle was the Sixth Legion.

The commander of the Sixth Legion, Anelin, was a famous general in the Aquitani region, and the lieutenant general of the legion, Aminos, was the new leader of the Rimon tribe; Both of these men had good military talents, and they were worthy of Carabis handing over the Sixth Legion to them.

However, the Sixth Legion was, after all, only a regular legion of only seven thousand men; It is also an indisputable fact that with only one legion of the Sixth Legion, it is impossible to conquer all the Gallic barbarian tribes in the entire territory of Greater Gaul in a short time.

So Calabis turned his mind on the warriors of the Alesian tribes who had recently surrendered; They were all Gallic warriors with rich combat experience, and all their lives were in the hands of Karabes, and of course Karabes had to make good use of them.

More importantly, Carabes had become accustomed to the mass use of surrender to his own army; From the thousands of bandits who started with the First Legion, to the Forest Hunters and Itami's Third Cavalry Legion, to Brigo's Fourth Legion and Grace's Fifth Legion, and even the newly formed Sixth Legion, which of these legions was not made up of Calabess's former enemies?

Even the generals of these legions, who were the leaders of the Gallic barbarian tribes and bandits who were once enemies of Karabes, are not all loyal to Karabes now? Of course, there are some exceptions, such as Cadoradu and his Second Legion, which were rightfully appointed by the Julius family to the army under Calabes; That's not the enemy army that Calabis has surrendered.

However, both the second legion of Kadoradu, and the other legions under the command of Calabes, had a common specialty, that is, the legion was composed entirely of Gallic barbarians; Even, Calabis was already accustomed to using Gallic warriors as his soldiers, and for the Gallic warriors of these Alesian tribes, Calabis was naturally handy.

Considering that the warriors of these Alesian tribes had just experienced the destruction of their tribes, Karabes also offered them a good enough price; As long as these warriors were loyal to Karabes, Karabes would have given them freedom after completing their complete conquest of Greater Gaul.

With Calabes' assurance, the warriors of these Alesian tribes were willing to pledge their allegiance to Calabes in order to survive; Accordingly, Calabis began the conquest of Greater Gaul with them in units of 1,000 men and the Sixth Army of Anelin.

Seven days later, the conquest of Greater Gaul by the Sixth Army and these captives was nearing its end; Karabes, however, unexpectedly received a new order from Flavies in the city of Alesia. It turned out that when Flavis retreated to the Norikum area with his army, he did not forget to send an order to Karabes, that is, to revoke his previous advice to Karabes.

In this new order, Flavistan confessed the defeat of the Julius family in the war against the Germanic barbarians, and explained the fact that he was about to lead the army back; Since the main army had already retreated on all fronts, it would be meaningless to let Carabes's army attack north, so Flavies directly ordered Carabis to abandon the northward attack.

Unfortunately, this order came too late, and Calabis had already taken the Greater Gaul region just in time; It's just that Flavis's order also reminded Calabis that since Flavis's main army has failed, even if he takes the Greater Gallic region, there is no need to attack the Germanic barbarians.

Accordingly, Calabis immediately sent a letter back to Flavies, detailing his coincidental acquisition of Greater Gaul; After writing the letter, Karabes had several cavalrymen rush to deliver it to the Norikum area. (To be continued.) )
