When you do the work that is set before you, you are to conscientiously follow the right reason, to be energetic, to be tranquil, not to be distracted from anything else, but to keep your sacred part pure, as if you were bound to return it directly; If you insist on this, without fear or fear, content with your present natural activity, content with the courageous sincerity in every word and syllable you speak, you will live happily. No one can stop this.

- Marcus Aurelius (the only philosopher-emperor in Western history)

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and Daniel's price is not too high; And most of the soldiers of Daniel's army were rogue ruffians recruited by Daniel later and murderers and arsonists released from prison. These outlaws are not good in the first place, and the blood on the battlefield is just another stimulus for them; Coupled with the high price offered by Daniel, the morale of the entire Daniel army was once again high, and the advantage brought by the presence of the Karabeth army was slowly erased.

But war is never won by morale alone; Carabes' 9,000 army was more than a cut above Daniel's 10,000 army in terms of weaponry and quality. Although there were 2,000 archers under the command of Calabes, they could only provide bow and arrow support, and could not engage in battle; But the strong combat effectiveness of the heavy infantry and the attack of the light infantry had overwhelmed Daniel's army. The sound of fierce fighting, the clashing of weapons, and the shouts of soldiers...... The only melody on the battlefield is life and death.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, there were only 1,000 heavy infantry left under the command of Calabes, and less than 4,000 of 5,000 light infantry; As for the enemy's army, Daniel's army has already suffered more than 5,000 casualties in less than an hour. The original Daniel army relied on the most elite five thousand king's guards of the Regulian Kingdom to support the fight of the entire legion, but at this time, the five thousand guards who had been rushing to the front were almost dead and wounded; How much combat power does the remaining army of hooligans and ruffians have?

Soon, Daniel's army began to crumble little by little; Some of the soldiers behind him turned and fled. Faced with such an opportunity, Carabis immediately ordered his soldiers to blow the horn of the attack on the whole front, encouraging the soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy; Daniel, on the other hand, was so angry that he formed his own personal guard cavalry into a battle team, and all the soldiers who had just escaped were killed on the spot, and Daniel's army, which was less than 5,000, could only continue to return to fight the enemy at an absolute disadvantage.

On the battlefield at this time. The victory of Calabes's side was already in sight, and the morale of the soldiers was getting higher and higher; The defeat of Daniel's side also seemed inevitable, and the morale of the soldiers had hit rock bottom. It was only at this moment that another stirring horn sounded from the rear of Daniel's army; But. This horn is the battle horn of King Regulia's ** team. At this moment, the soldiers of Daniel's army were as excited as if they were desperately living, because reinforcements were coming!

And Daniel's face turned pale all of a sudden, because he knew that he had not arranged reinforcements at all, that is to say, this sudden army was not friend or foe; However, Daniel is also a hero after all. He immediately took advantage of the sound of the trumpet to motivate the soldiers under his command: "Soldiers, I have already arranged enough reinforcements to deal with the Romans, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, our victory is within reach; The time has come to make a contribution, rush forward for me, kill! ”

The news of the arrival of reinforcements cheered up every soldier of Daniel's army, and they once again summoned up the courage to kill the enemy in front; But will Daniel, who knows the people who come from him as friend or foe, continue to stay and fight to the death? Of course not, the truth of staying in the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood is the real life creed for people like Daniel; Under the pretext of welcoming reinforcements, Daniel ordered Tursus to continue directing the battle on the battlefield, while he rode away with his personal cavalry to the rear.

In fact, Tusus also knew that the so-called reinforcements were simply nothing; The ** of the Ten who came was still a rebel army against Daniel in the territory of the Kingdom of Regulia. Because Daniel is not a great general at all. This army of ten thousand has always been under the de facto command of Tursus; Tursus didn't know what reinforcements were there, and the army here was already all under Daniel's command. However, Tursus could not disobey Daniel's orders, just as he had betrayed the Cadoradu on the battlefield; Tursus had no choice but to silently follow orders.

The desperate battle of less than 5,000 men was not enough to change the situation on the battlefield, and Calabes's army was constantly compressing the living space of Daniel's army; The army of more than 6,000 Karabes has basically completed the encirclement of Daniel's remnants on three sides, and Tursus is now only commanding the army in a dying struggle. However, Karabes knew from the sound of the trumpet that Kadoradu had arrived with his army; In order to reduce his own casualties, and in order to capture more prisoners and expand his strength, Karabes slowed down his attack on the enemy.

Of course, the remnants of Daniel's army would not have been bored with the army of Calabes, and they were simply afraid of their own reinforcements; But. The casualties on their side were so heavy that if it weren't for the fear of Daniel's Warlords, everyone would have scattered and fled. Even now that reinforcements are coming, they are really not willing to fight the enemy to the death; A simple engagement will do, and the rest of the enemy will be left to reinforcements to solve. Isn't it?

Daniel, who fled for his life, did not really go from the rear, but chose a small path on the flank of the battlefield and fled with his personal cavalry; After all, Kadoradu's 3,000 troops were all infantry, and there were only a few dozen scout cavalry under Karabes' command, and no one could stop Daniel's escape. But the victory on the battlefield was firmly in the hands of Calabes, who had already wiped out more than 5,000 Daniel's army at the cost of less than 2,000 casualties before Kadoradu appeared; The rest is just a matter of time.

When the banner of Kadoradu and the army of three thousand appeared in the rear of Daniel's remnants. The battle on the entire battlefield is over; Carabis directly ordered his 5,000 troops to break out of the battle, keep a certain distance from the enemy and surround them on three sides; The archers, after the rest and recuperation, once again came to the front of the battlefield, and once again formed a formation behind the heavy infantry ready to attack. Looking at the enemy forces on three sides and the slowly approaching Cadoradu army in the rear, Tursus knew that this army was finished; There is no point in continuing to fight.

Even the ordinary soldiers, who knew that the war was over, were all natives of the Kingdom of Regulia, and who had also participated in the war against the Cadorado rebels; They were too familiar with the royal flag and the Kadoradu flag of the Kingdom of Regulia, and when they saw these two flags again, defeat was inevitable. The army in front of you is not a good army, but after all, they are all veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield. With a little training and restraint, you can still become an elite army; Carabis did not want to consume them in vain, so he directly ordered them to surrender, and promised not to pursue the affairs of the battlefield as enemies.

Looking at the approaching Cadoradu army, the discouraged King Regula ** team reluctantly put down the weapons in their hands; So far. The war against the Kingdom of Regulia is over. Daniel, who had fled, was not a problem in the eyes of Karabes, and the next thing was for the army to advance all the way and take Sagesta, the capital of the Kingdom of Regulia; As long as this task is completed, with Daniel's atrocities in the Regulia Kingdom, it is simply nonsense for him to rely on the people of the Regulia Kingdom to make a comeback.

The 7,000-strong army, consisting of 5,000 light infantry and 2,000 heavy infantry, was now less than 5,000 standing. Cleaning the battlefield and guarding the prisoners was naturally left to the resting archers; Among the 2,000 casualties, not all of them were killed in battle, and less than 800 soldiers were actually killed in battle, but the more than 1,000 soldiers who were wounded and fell to the ground also needed to be rescued in time. In short, there were more things to be busy after the war; Calabes's treatment of the wounded, the custody of prisoners, the cleaning of the battlefield, the collection of corpses, the rest of the army, and so on, all need to be handled by Karabes.

When Kadoradu led 3,000 troops into the battlefield, all he saw was that Calabes's army was clearing the battlefield, and the battle was over; In order to avoid Karabes's suspicions, Kadoradu wanted to explain something to Karabes, but was directly interrupted by Karabes: "Kadoradu, I believe in you to send you on this mission; You've proven yourself by being able to come before the war is over, and you don't have to explain anything. It's enough for you to believe in you. Go and receive the five thousand captives of Daniel's army, and these eight thousand will be your army in the future; That general named Tursus is a talent, you can watch and deal with it. ”

After that, Carabes went about the military affairs, and did not waste too much time with Kadoradu; Although Kadoradu was inexplicably grateful, he calmly clenched his fists and left. In the end, Kadoradu did not dispose of Tursus either, but appointed Tursus to continue as his lieutenant; The reason is simple, the last time he defected and served Daniel all the time because Daniel captured Tursus's parents, wife and children, and threatened Tursus. Cadoradu forgave him if he felt that he could only choose to obey Daniel.

As for whether it was like Kadoradu said, he really forgave Tursus for this reason, or if he stopped dealing with Tursus because of Karabes's words. Then only Kadoradu himself knows. After an afternoon's rest, Calabis ordered Itami to command the remaining 5,000 troops to guard the prisoners; And he himself marched into the capital of Regulia overnight with two thousand archers of Allah and three thousand troops of Kadoradu, and seized the time to occupy the entire kingdom of Regulia.

Perhaps the results of the day's battles had spread throughout the nearby cities, or it could be that the Kadoradu banner was very useful; Karabes took Kadoradu and galloped all the way to Segista, and all the cities he encountered along the way were surrendered with their doors open and surrendered, without exception. Wait until the next morning when approaching Sagesta. The officials and nobles who opened the door and surrendered not only presented the capital of the Regulian Kingdom with both hands, but also tied up Daniel, who had escaped earlier, and offered it to Calabis.

Carabis and Daniel don't have any deep hatred, except for a battle; But Kadoradu has a national enmity with this Daniel! If it weren't for this Daniel, the Kingdom of Regulia would not have perished and become a province of the Roman Republic, and the royal family of the Kingdom of Regulia would not have been killed, leaving only Cadoradu; The blood feud between Kadoradu and Daniel is too deep. Carabis himself was busy transferring all the troops to Segista and was unwilling to deal with Daniel, so he handed Daniel over to Kadoradu in a beautiful way.

There's something about Daniel that Carabis doesn't know, but it seems that he heard that Kadoradu stabbed Daniel alive in the Civic Square of Segista; Daniel's terrible screams terrified everyone who heard it, and Kadoradu was nicknamed "The Meat Cutting General"! After settling Daniel's affairs, the main army of Calabes also arrived in Segista; Karabes's mission is to rest his elite army and take care of Kadoradu's legions.

In order to better assist the Julius family in their battle with Gaul, Calabes decided to lead his army from the Gallic lifeline north of Regulia across the Rubicon River to attack Gallic itself from the rear; The army under his command was naturally the battle-hardened Calabes, but at this time the Calabess Legion only had 4,000 light infantry, 2,000 archers and 1,000 heavy infantry to fight. But for Karabes, that's enough! (To be continued.) )
