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

It was also reasonable for Vercaris to disband at least half or so of his army; After all, with the barrenness of the Macomani region, it is simply impossible to feed an army of 40,000, and even an army of 20,000 is completely impossible.

When discussing the formation of a united army to aid the Mainz tribes, Arminius also made it clear that the 10,000 soldiers in the Macomani region led by General Macuy, their weapons and equipment and food and grass materials will be provided by the Damm tribe; Even when Vercaris was about to lead the army back to the Macomani region, Arminius said that he would give them 10,000 weapons and equipment.

Arminius, who has always been committed to the prosperity of the entire Germanic nation, does have a bearing and mind that ordinary people can hardly achieve, and of course, the wealth of the Damu tribe is also the greatest confidence for Arminius to dare to make these promises; With the aid promised by Arminius, Vercaris was also grateful to return to the Macomani region with his army.

The reason why Arminius sent the elite warriors of the 10,000 Dam tribe to accompany Vrkaris back to the Macomani region was not just to help Vrkaris stabilize the situation in the Macomani region; After all, the Macomani region is all Germanic tribes, and if there is anything to stabilize, the invaders will continue to live in peace after they are driven away.

However, there is one thing that all Germanic people have to face, and that is that the Julius family first occupied the Lovosice tribe in the Poheim region this time, and then launched an attack from the Poheim region to the Macomani region.

This means that the Poheim region has become the land of the Julius family, and as long as the Poheim region is in the hands of the Julius family, it will pose a mortal threat to the Germanic tribes of the Macomani region at all times; Therefore, the uprooting of this strategic stronghold of the Julius family is the real intention of Arminius.

After the negotiation of forming a united army, Arminius had an exchange with Vercaris; Arminius suggested that Vercaris replace the 10,000 warriors in the Macomani region with new weapons and equipment after receiving the weapons and equipment provided by the Damm tribe, and then organize a 5,000-strong army of warriors from the Macomani region to attack the Poheim region.

Of course, the real main force of the attack was the elite warriors of the 10,000 Damu tribe sent by Arminius to Vrcaris; And the 5,000 warriors in the Macomani area were attacking together with the warriors of the Damu tribe.

After taking the Poheim area, these fifteen thousand soldiers will be stationed in the Poheim area, and the rest of the details will be discussed after the invading army of the Julius family has been completely expelled; Vercaris also strongly agreed with Arminius's suggestion, after all, the Poheim region is the deadliest threat to the Macomani region!

After negotiating these matters, Vercaris withdrew his army to the territory of Macomani, while Arminius continued to advance deep into the territory of Aglidigumat with a coalition of 30,000 troops from three tribes, pursuing the forces of the House of Julius.

While the Germanic lands were in chaos, Calabes, far away in the Aquitani region, was also in a difficult choice; When Flavies's letter was received by Karabes, Karabes had to face such a choice.

whether to obey Flavis's arrangement and lead the main army to march against the Alesian tribes in Greater Gaul, or stick to his original plan and lead the army to deal with the Mathius tribe in the Narpung Gaul region first; This is really not an easy choice for Karabes!

Although Flavis nominally suggested that Calabes march north, the deep meaning behind this suggestion could not but make Calabes jealous; After all, Flavis is the leader of the Julius family, and Calabis is also nominally the general of the Julius family, so he needs to receive orders from the Julius family.

From the perspective of valuing talents, Flavis gave Carabes more freedom to develop; But Carabes had to admit that it was with the strong support of the Julius family that he had developed rapidly.

If the support of the Julius family is lost, not to mention that the development of the Gallic province outside the mountains will immediately come to a standstill, it will die before the development of the province of Aquitani has even begun; It is simply impossible to develop in the land of the Gallic barbarians without the help of external forces, and the only people Calabes can rely on are the Julius family.

Of course, with future expansion, one day Carabes will be able to develop on his own without the Julius family; But now Calabes does not have this strength, and can only temporarily attach himself to the wing of the Julius family.

From this point of view, Calabis should indeed put aside his plan of attack on the Gaul region of Narpung for the time being, and shift the direction of the attack of the great army to the greater Gaul region in the north; However, Karabes had an unknown reason for attacking Narpun Gaul.

Because the House of Augustus had completely occupied the entire Iberian Peninsula, even the Gallic barbarian tribe of Numantia, which occupied the Canterbury region of the Iberian Peninsula, was wiped out by the House of Augustus; This means that as long as Calabess conquers the Narpung Gaul of the Matius tribe, he will be able to join the House of Augustus on the land!

However, there is one thing that Calabes must face, and that is that even if he occupies the Narpung Gaul region, he will not be able to receive help from the Augustus family in a short time; On the one hand, the connection between the Augustians and Calabes is not known to outsiders, and on the other hand, the Augustians have just occupied the Iberian Peninsula, and the focus of the next development is simply not to take into account Gaul.

Therefore, from any point of view, Calabis should heed the advice of Flavies and lead the main army to march towards Greater Gaul in the north; However, out of consideration of the overall strategic layout, Karabes still preferred to march towards Narpung Gaul.

After all, having joined the Iberian Peninsula with the House of Augustus, Calabes himself could have more room for maneuver strategically; Even if something unexpected happens, Calabes can break away from the Julius family at any time and return to the arms of the Augustus family, which is what Calabes really values.

Caught in a dilemma, Calabis did not dwell on the matter for long, and Oscar, who had been closely following the war between the Julius family and the Germanic barbarians in Sicily, immediately became aware of Flavis after learning that the army led by Flavis had suffered a heavy defeat

It is very likely that he will ask for help from the large army of Calabes, especially if he has already taken the Aquitani region.

So, Oscar conveyed his advice to Calabes through the Tragic Dead, that is, to lead a large army to the greater Gaul region in the north, and cooperate with Flavis's attack on the Germanic barbarians, in exchange for the trust of Flavis and the support of the Julius family.

In Oscar's view, the Augustan family would not have the time and energy to help Calabes grow in Gaul for three or five years; According to the discussions of Vipsani, Nath, and others, it would take at least five years for the Augustans to develop these places after taking over the entire Iberian Peninsula.

This meant that during the five years of development, the House of Augustus would not only avoid war with any other power as much as possible, but would also not be able to provide any substantial help to Calabess; Even if Karabes had taken possession of the Narpung Gaul region, this status quo would not have been changed.

Oscar's suggestion was very timely for Carabes, but because of the time it took to deliver the letter; Thus, Oscar's letter was delivered to Calabes by the Tragic Dead on the third day after Flavis' letter arrived.

With Oscar's direct suggestion, Calabis was relieved to boldly draw a large army and prepare to attack the Greater Gaul region in the north; The newly formed Sixth Legion, the First Legion, and the Third Legion will all be involved in the battle, while the Fourth and Fifth Legions will remain in the Aquitani region to guard against any possible enemy attack.

Kadoradu's Second Legion had been stationed in the Gallic region beyond the mountains, and could not be easily mobilized until Narpun Gaul was conquered; In addition to the Second Legion, the newly formed Sixth Legion Calabis could not safely leave them in the Aquitani region, and the Sixth Legion was the one that had to go with the army.

As for the First Legion directly under Calabes, it is not to mention, as the most elite main legion under Calabes, it is natural to go on the expedition; The remaining legions were Edam's Third Legion, Brigo's Fourth Legion, and Grace's Fifth Legion.

Among them, Grace's Fifth Legion temporarily lost its most important combat power after losing all the mastiff troops, and Carabis gave them the task of staying in the Aquitani area and training enough mastiffs as soon as possible.

And Itami's Third Legion was a pure cavalry corps, which was not at all suitable for the defense of the homeland; As a result, the only person who could take on the task of defending the Aquitani region was Brigo's Fourth Legion, and Carabes had no choice.

The First Legion had 13,000 soldiers, the Third had 7,000 cavalry, and the Sixth had 7,000 Gallic warriors; The expedition of 27,000 soldiers is the largest force that Calabis can draw, but the Alesian tribes in the Greater Gaul region have expanded their army to a full 50,000 after Calabis occupies the Aquitani region!
