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

Flavis' trap succeeded in luring Eudovaca's army into the barracks and causing the unsuspecting Germanic warriors to drink wine mixed with laxatives; The only thing that Flavies didn't expect was the appearance of those Germanic female warriors.

A full 5,000 Germanic female warriors did not appear in yesterday's battle, but in today's Mainz tribal army; To Flavis's frustration, the Germanic warriors did not touch the laxative-infused wine at all.

In this way, Flavies's expectation that the enemy army would sit back and die without resistance turned into a desperate resistance of the Germanic female warriors; The Germanic warriors, who had lost their combat effectiveness due to diarrhea, had to flee in humiliation, but the female warriors who remained only deepened the hatred between the Julius family and the Mainz tribe.

Odovaka himself was still fighting the rushing hoplites of the House of Julius with his great axe, but soon the wine in his stomach began to work; The sharp pain that came from his lower abdomen caused Odovaka's amazing combat power to continue to decline, and even he couldn't even wield his own two giant axes.

When Odovaka hung down his two great axes with all his might, several female warriors beside him lifted him up and retreated backwards, despite Odovaka's struggles; In this battle, the army of the Mainz tribe was doomed to defeat, but it was only a matter of how much the casualties would cost.

It was not the intrigues of the enemy, nor the heavy losses of his own army, but the killing of the female warriors of the Mainz tribe by the hoplites of the House of Julius; Watching the female warriors of the Mainz tribe rushing towards the enemy with short daggers, and finally being killed by the enemy on the spot, Odovaka's eyes have become red!

In addition to recapturing the Ulius camp, the soldiers of the three legions of the Ulius family also managed to leave 4,000 enemy corpses in the barracks, and the casualties paid by the Ulius family were only about 500.

After this battle, the Julius family not only recovered the losses suffered by the night attack last night, but also succeeded in defeating the enemy's offensive momentum head-on; More importantly, this battle played the prestige of the Julius family, so that the morale of the soldiers of their three legions was high again, and they had the confidence to win!

However, from yesterday's daytime battle, to last night's night attack, to today's battle; The soldiers of the Julius family have also fought hard, at least they are tired and need a good rest.

After Flavis led his army back to the barracks, he did not intend to take advantage of the victory to pursue the army of the Mainz tribe and continue the attack; Until subsequent reinforcements arrived, Flavis would not have ventured deep into the Agripumat region lightly.

The temporary abandonment of the attack by the Julius family was not necessarily a good thing for the Mainz tribe; Because the Julius family's methods of drug use were too brutal, it was impossible for the army of the Mainz tribe to regain its combat effectiveness within a few days, and even the strong Germanic warriors needed time to recover slowly after eating so many laxatives.

After abandoning his armor and fleeing back to his temporary station, Odovaka forced himself to endure the pain in his stomach and asked his commanders to count the casualties in today's battle; When Odovaka finally learned that more than 3,000 Germanic warriors and 1,000 Germanic warriors had been killed, he was so angry that he smashed the kettle in his hand.

Odovaka did not blame the warriors who drank the wine for this, nor did he fall into deep self-blame, he just firmly remembered the shame brought to him by the Ulius family, and vowed to take revenge on the Ulius family!

It's not just the leader of Odovaka who has thoughts of revenge, the warriors of the Mainz tribe who have fled back by the female warriors of their own tribe at the cost of their lives, and everyone does not dare to look directly at the female warriors who take care of the wounded with their own eyes, they are not afraid of the reproach of the female warriors, but ashamed of the incompetence of themselves and others!

Rather than self-blame and shame, the hearts of these Mainz warriors were more hostile to the Julius family; If the previous hatred between the Mainz tribe and the Julius family was invasion and resistance, then now it has escalated into an undying hatred, even if the Julius family chooses to withdraw from the Agridigumat region now, this war will not be over!

The meaning of the existence of the warriors is to defend their homeland, the Julius family is the invader, and the warriors of the Mainz tribe are the warriors who defend their homeland; The head-to-head confrontation between the two on the battlefield did not arouse the deep hatred of the warriors of the Mainz tribe, after all, the invasion of the Julius family had not yet brought substantial harm to the Mainz tribe.

However, the emergence of this conspiracy today has made the Julius family a mortal enemy of the Mainz tribe; In particular, the army of the Julius family killed the female warriors of the Mainz tribe, which is the endless blood feud between the warriors of the Mainz tribe and the Julius family, and only the blood of the soldiers of the Julius family can make the warriors of the Mainz tribe wash away their shame!

The soldiers of the Mainz tribe, who had temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, had to rest in the temporary station, and the troops of the Julius family, who did not have the strength to continue the attack, also seized the time to rest and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

While the army of the Julius family and the warriors of the Mainz tribe were resting, the reinforcements of the Trier tribe and the Badawi tribe were getting closer and closer to the city of Mainz of the Mainz tribe; In three days, these eight thousand reinforcements from the other two tribes could reach Mainz and reinforce Odovaka at the front.

And the equipment brigade of the three legions of the Julius family also immediately set off in the direction of Flavis after receiving the order, and the three equipment brigades combined with less than 3,000 soldiers were not enough to change the tide of the battle, but the ballista and stone crossbow they possessed were enough to make the Germanic barbarian army who had not seen it pay a heavy price!

At this time, the heralds sent by Flavies to the home of the Ulius family also arrived at Aletion, and handed over to Quintus Julius the letter that Flavies had written to Quintus Julius; After reading his father's letter, Quintus Julius immediately began to recruit Gallic barbarian warriors in the provinces of Gallic and Veneto.

In order to recruit as many Gallic barbarian warriors as possible, Quintus Julius, while recruiting those Gallic barbarian warriors, also announced that the Gallic barbarian warriors who applied for the Gallic barbarian warriors would have the same treatment as the soldiers of the Gallic family of Julius, and would also receive a large salary for recruitment.

With these tempting conditions as a foundation, the Julius family quickly recruited nearly 30,000 Gallic barbarian warriors in two provinces; Although a significant number of the 30,000 applicants came for the high salary, the Julius family did not care about these small details, and the 30,000 people were quickly formed into three new legions.

Due to the lack of sufficient weaponry and equipment, the officers and men of the three new legions were composed of pure light infantry, and even the equipment that a regular legion should have; In this way, there is naturally no need to divide the main battle corps and the auxiliary corps, and the three legions are directly led by their respective corps commanders to the distant front.

Only seven days elapsed between the receipt of Flavies' letter by Quintus Julius and the formation of the three legions of recruits; In order to save more time, the Julius family did not equip these soldiers with enough weapons and equipment, and most of the Gallic warriors who were recruited were assigned a short sword and were incorporated into the legions.

No matter how poor the fighting power of these newly recruited Gallic barbarian soldiers was, and no matter how rudimentary their weaponry; At the very least, their 30,000 men were there, which was a formidable reinforcement for Flavies, who was desperately short of troops, but only if Flavies could hold out until these reinforcements reached the front line of Agridigumat.

After the regular army of the Mainz tribe suffered heavy casualties, Odovaka began to recruit Germanic warriors who volunteered to defend their homeland throughout the Agripumat region; By the time the next battle broke out, 35,000 warriors from across the Agripugumat region had volunteered to fight against the invaders.

Of these, there were about 15,000 warriors from the Mainz tribe, while the other 20,000 were Germanic warriors from other tribes large and small in the region of Aglidigumat; This difference in numbers is not to say that the Mainz tribe is unwilling to stand up for more warriors, but the previous 30,000 troops were all warriors of the Mainz tribe, and the strength of the entire Mainz tribe is about to be exhausted.

After all, the Mainz tribe is only a tribe of Germanic barbarians, and after providing 40,000 warriors and 5,000 female warriors, how many young men can be left to participate in the war? If all these young men and women were to join the war, then the old and young women and children of the Mainz tribe would probably all starve to death; Frankly, the Mainz tribe has done its best.

In fact, by the time these thirty-five thousand warriors who had volunteered to stand up were handed over to Ares for training, the entire Germanic barbarian army in the region of Agripumat had been depleted; If this is not enough to resist the attack of the Julius family, then the Germanic barbarians of the region of Agridigumat will have to fight a national war again!
