"Chapter 341: The Grace Tribe"

There are few people who dare to be the culprit, but they are willing to participate in the crowd, and everyone will acquiesce to the rebellion.

- Tacitus (the greatest historian of ancient Rome)

Since the military meeting that night, Edam's 3rd Gallic Regiment has sent hundreds of spies to the Maasai tribes in Gaul beyond the mountains, and Brig and Magglo's 4th Alpine Regiments have begun their search for the Grace tribe. As the second tribe of Gallic outside the mountains after the Maasai tribe, the strength of the Grace tribe is naturally not to be underestimated.

Even if the Maasai tribe defeated the Grace tribe, it could resist the attack of the powerful Maasai tribe, and finally escaped from the attack of the Maasai tribe, and the strength of the Grace tribe can be imagined; The enemy of the enemy is the friend, this truth is the law of war that has been used in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and it is also the law that Calabes is ready to use.

While Brigo's Fourth Legion sent a large number of spies to search for the Grace tribe, Calabis began to learn about the second tribe of Gaul beyond the mountains through a number of other means. Based on the descriptions of his Gallic soldiers and ordinary Gauls who had lived in Gaul outside the mountains, Calabes began to learn little by little about this somewhat legendary tribe.

According to legend, the ancestors of this Grace tribe were not the proto-Gauls of the mountains and Gaul, but the Rimon tribe from the Aquitani region; At that time, Grace, the ancestor of the Grace tribe, was a small leader under the leadership of the leader of the Rimon tribe, and was usually responsible for leading the 180 people to train war horses for the leader of the Rimon tribe.

Later, over time, Grace discovered another creature to train, the ferocious hound; Grace tries to gather some fierce and strong hounds and train them into mastiffs that can kill. It turns out that the birth of every genius is not a one-time thing, it requires setbacks and sharpening.

The first trained mastiffs were very unsuccessful works, they completely lost their fighting power and wildness as hunting dogs, and were instead trained by Grace to be useless domestic dogs; Faced with such a result, Grace did not lose confidence. After giving the first batch of hounds to the children in his small village, Grace began the second batch of training.

In the second training session, Grace took a very different approach to training than the first; He put these already fierce hounds into the even more tragic wild, not only increasing their survival pressure, but also madly carrying out all kinds of brutal measures against these hounds. As a result, all of the second group of hounds died during training; Not even a single one survived.

After that, Grace went through the third, fourth, and fifth batches of training; Needless to say, this is another three consecutive failures. Especially in the fifth training, there was a hound that survived all of Grace's training, and successfully survived with considerable combat effectiveness; Unfortunately, the hound is crazy and attacks anyone uncontrollably.

Grace had no choice but to kill the lucky surviving hound with his own hands, and this event soon alarmed the leader of the Rimon tribe; The leader, who was also a young man and was curious about Grace's new idea, wanted to witness such a miracle, so he began to support Grace's mastiff training program.

With the support of the tribal leader, Grace no longer had to use those low-blooded hounds as test subjects, and he had a very good breed of hounds to test on. In fact, the breed and pedigree of the hound still have a great influence on the outcome; After switching to these high-quality hounds, Grace's training program was a breakthrough.

In the newly started sixth batch of mastiff training program, all 15 hunting dogs involved in the training survived and possessed very strong combat effectiveness; After testing, a trained mastiff can easily kill a wolf in a fight with the wolf. This result was not only ecstatic for Grace, but also for the tribal leaders.

In order to better test the fighting power of the mastiffs, the leader of the Rimon tribe ordered Grace to take forty trained mastiffs into battle in a subsequent battle with another tribe; In this skirmish battle, the Rimon tribe killed no more than 300 enemies in total, and more than 60 of them were killed by mastiffs!

Although the mastiff fights exceptionally well, the way it attacks is too bloody and cruel; But when the warriors of the Rimon tribe saw the enemies who were bitten alive by the mastiffs, they couldn't help but vomit, and the bloody scene can be imagined. However, this is completely unattainable to the importance that the tribal leaders attach to mastiffs; He even felt that the appearance of mastiffs could change the form of warfare!

So, he gave the mastiffs trained by Grace an even louder name - War Mastiff! In addition, the tribal leader also specially formed a combat unit to train war mastiffs, and the commander of this force was naturally undoubtedly Grace; The leader asked Grace to teach more people to train the mastiffs, and in turn to train more mastiffs.

At this time, Grace is no longer the Grace she was at the beginning; Because in the process of training the war mastiff, Grace discovered an amazing thing, that is, the trained war mastiff is only loyal to its own trainer, and everyone else is its enemy! There is no concept of power in the world of the mastiff, it is only subordinate to its master; This is the war mastiff.

A creature that is loyal to itself and extremely powerful in battle, which undoubtedly begins to breed some undesirable ambitions in Grace; To this end, Grace also has his own small actions. Grace himself, as a small chieftain, also had his own village; Naturally, the people in the village were also loyal to Grace.

Grace gathered the villagers and began to teach them how to train mastiffs; After Grace's continuous improvement and experimentation, the training of the mastiff is still relatively demanding for dogs, but it is not as strict as it was at the beginning. Grace's latest improved method has made it possible to train most ordinary dogs into war mastiffs with quite strong combat effectiveness.

Of course, the most ferocious war mastiff still needs a good dog of extremely good quality to train; These are just secrets that belong to Grace alone. As for the warriors sent by the tribal leaders, Grace did not teach them the proper way of training, but taught them the wrong ways he had used.

Over time, Grace himself has trained more and more top-notch war mastiffs, even to the point where Grace needs to eat, drink and sleep with those war mastiffs every day; At the same time, the villagers who were loyal to Grace also trained a large number of ordinary war mastiffs, and their combat effectiveness was also quite good.

But the warriors sent by the tribal leaders found nothing; They used the wrong methods to produce the wrong results, and there were even tragic cases where the warriors were bitten to death by mad hounds because of their rough methods. This slowly aroused the suspicion of the tribal leader, and he began to investigate whether Grace was sincere in teaching his warriors.

The results of the investigation were always unsatisfactory, and when the tribal leader learned that all the good quality hounds he had given Grace had been appropriated by Grace himself, and that the villagers under Grace's rule had begun to successfully train good war mastiffs, the anger that erupted could be imagined; Immediately, the tribal leader sent five hundred elite warriors to capture Grace.

At this time, Grace's command already had more than 300 top-level war mastiffs, and those villagers loyal to Grace owned more than 500 ordinary war mastiffs; This is quite a powerful combat force, at least it will not be inferior to these five hundred elite warriors. When Grace learns that the fighters have come to capture him, an unexpected battle breaks out.

More than 300 mastiffs, loyal to Grace, launched a ferocious attack on the five hundred men as they approached Grace; These elite warriors had never encountered such an attack, and they were suddenly in a hurry. Grace took the opportunity to quickly burrow into the jungle and escaped, and when she escaped, Grace did not forget to whistle and let her mastiffs retreat.

Such an encounter cost nearly 200 casualties to the 500 elite Gallic warriors, who were wounded and quickly died of wound infection; On the contrary, the mastiffs paid the price of less than thirty casualties. After Grace fled with the mastiffs, the remaining three hundred Gallic warriors did not dare to pursue, but returned with the corpses of their comrades.

The fate of the 500 elite Gallic warriors greatly angered the leader of the Rimon tribe, and he immediately personally led an army of more than 5,000 to besiege and annihilate the village of Grace; After attacking the 500 elite warriors, Grace immediately rushed back to his village, and then began to flee east with the villagers who were loyal to him.

In the jungle of Gaul, the army of 5,000 Rimon tribes has been chasing behind Grace, and Grace has left some mastiffs to fight back from time to time, and the casualties caused to the Rimon tribe army are also increasing; The leader of the Rimon tribe knew that although he could eventually kill Grace if he continued like this, the casualties he had paid were unacceptable.

So, after paying nearly 500 casualties and killing more than 100 war mastiffs; The leader of the Rimon tribe gave up the hunt for Grace. Grace, who narrowly escaped, never dared to return to the Rimon tribe, not even the Aquitani region; He could only continue eastward with his villagers, until he reached the Gallic region beyond the mountains.

Upon arriving in Gaul outside the mountains, Grace settled down with his villagers and began to annex some of the smaller tribes in the vicinity by using war mastiffs; After more than 100 years of multiplication, the former village of Grace has finally expanded to become the second tribe in the Gallic region beyond the mountains after the Maasai tribe, which is also named after the legendary Grace tribe!
