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

Flavies did not give Calabes orders, but merely advice; After all, the territory owned by the Julius family in the Gallic land west of the Alps was won by Calabes, and Flavis was not willing to treat the hard-working Calabes with a commanding attitude, let alone let Carabis have any dissatisfaction with the Julius family.

More importantly, Flavis believed that Carabes would not let himself down; From the battle against Lugotorix, who determined the fate of the Julius family, to the defeat of the Alpine bandits, to the conquest of Gaul beyond the mountains, Calabis never disappointed Flavies.

Out of trust in Calabes, Flavis would not easily treat Calabes with a commanding posture; Similar to the legionnaires of the Julius family, those are talents who need to be rewarded and punished, while geniuses like Carabis need to be encircled.

Admittedly, another important factor is that Calabes conquered the Extra-Gallic and Aquitani regions almost entirely on his own; The Julius family did not provide any help other than food and grass supplies.

This also means that in the Gallic barbarian world that admires the strong, those legions under the command of Calabes will not be loyal to the so-called Julius family at all, they will only be loyal to Calabes, who led them to conquer cities and win one victory after another.

It's not that Flavies intended to see Calabis grow in Gaul, it's just that Calabis did have the ability to do these things; To be sure, the House of Julius was able to gain domination of two provinces at a modest cost, not counting the huge role that Calabes played in the victory of House Julius over Lugotorix.

In light of this, Flavies has always been inattentive to Calabes' growing strength; After all, his strength did not conflict with the interests of the Julius family, and Flavis did not see the existence of ambition in the eyes of Calabes!

For a heroic figure like Flavis, his character and life experience are enough to see whether a person has ambition, or what kind of ambition he has; Needless to say, Karabes never had any ambition to dominate one side in his eyes.

Either way, Flavis decided to trust Karabes anyway; While giving Calabes this advice to go north, Flavies also gave Calabis the right to ask for various resources from the Eullius family at will. As long as Calabes speaks, the heir of the Julius family who sits in Arretien will not hesitate to give Calabes what he needs, this is the promise of Flavis!

Compared to Flavis's busyness in the barracks, Odovaka directly led his soldiers to find a medium-sized tribe to rest on the spot; After this day's bloody battle, the 25,000 Mainz tribal army also paid heavy casualties.

A regular army of 15,000 men now only had 4,000 Germanic pikemen and 3,000 Germanic axemen, even with the less than 2,000 elite archers and more than 1,000 fanatical warriors; The regular army of the Mainz tribe also paid the price of 5,000 soldiers killed on the battlefield, which is not a small casualty.

As for the elite army of 10,000 people, there are only 2,000 Germanic elite axe soldiers left, and only 1,000 Germanic noble cavalry of 5,000 people remained; The loss of nearly 7,000 elite divisions made Odovaka's face ugly.

If the battle is full, the 25,000 Mainz tribal army under the command of Odovaka will only be about 13,000; Although they already had an advantage in terms of troops, the death of 12,000 soldiers still made the surviving Mainz tribe warriors very sad, after all, they were all friends and brothers of the same tribe who grew up together.

Odovaka was stabbed in the back by the three centurions of the House of Julius during the battle, and suffered no less than ten wounds in other parts of his body; Upon arriving at this tribe, the people of this tribe warmly entertained the Germanic warriors who fought against the invaders, and brought all the herbs to apply to the wounded warriors.

Just as these wounded warriors gritted their teeth and applied herbs, and the uninjured warriors sat down silently to rest, a group of samurai wearing black tight armor slowly approached from a distance; The group of samurai was followed by about 5,000 female warriors armed with weapons.

Odovaca, who was still dressing the wound, immediately stood up angrily when he saw Lai Jean and the female warrior behind them, and shouted angrily to the people who came not far away:

"Ares! I have told you that war is a matter for Germanic men, and it is a matter in which women are never allowed to interfere; Until we Germanic men die, there is absolutely no way I can let Germanic women go to war!

Even if you were the best friends of our Mainz tribe, I would not have allowed you to send our Germanic women into battle; Don't persuade me, it's useless to persuade me, I've already told you these things. ”

Yes, the person who came was none other than Ares, the head of the Tragic Dead Fighting Department of the House of Augustus; From the last time the Julius family attacked the Salzburg tribes and the Illyrian kingdom in the Norikum region at the same time, the attention of the Tragic Dead shifted to the Julius family, and they took the Illyrian kingdom that was taken to Aretion.

But the tragedy is that the king of the Illyrian kingdom accidentally fell into a cliff and died when the tragic dead man returned to his base in the inner Alps; Well, after losing this important figure, the Tragic Dead had to find a way to find a new partner.

Clyde, the Salzburg tribal leader in the Norikum region, was also a potential collaborator of the Tragic Dead; However, Flavis's reuse made Clyde the commander of the Eighth Legion of the Julius family, and it was naturally impossible for the Tragic Dead to venture to him.

After the Julius family seized the Norikum and Illyrian regions, the direction of their continued expansion was only the Germanic barbarians in the north, the Gallic barbarians in the west, and the Dacian barbarians in the east; The Gallic barbarians in the west of the Julius family were all conquered by Calabes, the new commander of the Julius family.

For this Carabes, although the Oscar leader of the Augustus family did not say anything, it is naturally not difficult to know the true identity of Carabes with the intelligence ability of the tragic dead; Therefore, after the affairs of the Gallic land were in charge of Karabes, there was no need for the tragic dead to mix anything with it.

As for the Dacian barbarian forces further east, there is a real barren land, the land is vast and sparsely populated and extremely barren, and it should be impossible for the Julius family to focus their expansion on the Dacian barbarian forces in the east; Another factor that affects the decision of the Tragic Dead is that the strength of the Tragic Dead in the Dacian barbarian's sphere of influence is very weak, and it is not enough to affect the overall situation.

The last remaining northern Germanic barbarians are different, and the depths of the Alps, where the base camp of the Tragic Dead are located, are closely connected to the Germanic lands where the Germanic barbarians are located; Many of the warrior training within the Tragic Dead was done in the dangerous Germanic jungles, and even the relationship between the Tragic Dead and many Germanic barbarian tribes was still very good.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Germanic barbarian tribes during training, and also to avoid possible conflicts between them; In the process of the development of the Tragic Song of the Dead, the connection with the Germanic barbarian tribes is also getting closer and closer, and even when many Germanic barbarians encounter natural disasters or food crises, the Tragic Song of the Dead helps.

As with the courage and good war, the characteristics of the Germanic barbarians are the knowledge of grace, and the help of the Tragic Dead to the Germanic barbarian tribes made the members of the Tragic Dead become friends of all the Germanic people; Whether it was in the Mainz tribe of Agridigumat, or in the Upper Germania of Trier, or in the northernmost tribe of Bodenshom, the Saxons of the Tragic Dead were the welcome friends of the Germanic people.

Before he became the head of the wardepartment, Ares had undergone all kinds of brutal training in the land of Gaul; At that time, Ares often hunted alone in the treacherous Germanic jungles to survive, and met Odovaka, who liked to strengthen himself by fighting wild beasts.

Two young men of the same age and with the same amazing fighting power will inevitably 'fight' when they meet, and the two become best friends in this way, Ares regards Odovaka as his only friend other than the Tragic Dead, and Odovaka also regards Ares, who was born in the Tragic Dead, as his closest good brother.

As early as when the Julius family intended to attack the Germanic barbarians, the Tragic Dead had obtained enough information to prove that the Julius family was about to invade the Germanic barbarians; Whether it was out of the Augustan family's phalanx to restrain the Julius family, or out of the friendship between the Tragic Dead and the Germanic barbarians, the Tragic Dead should secretly help the Germanic barbarians deal with the Julius family.

However, Hades, who sang the song of death, did not dare to make his own decisions in such matters; After traveling to Syracuse to ask Oscar for Oscar's approval, Hades immediately began to mobilize the forces of the Dead to secretly aid the Germanic barbarians.

In the face of the invasion of the Julius family, the first to bear the brunt was naturally the Germanic barbarian Mainz tribe; Therefore, Hades sent Ares, who had the best relationship with the leader of the Mainz tribe, Odovaka, to personally lead some soldiers who were sad and dead to the Mainz tribe to help the Mainz tribe intensify the training of the army, and sent them a lot of war materials.

The Germanic barbarian army was already very combative, and the warriors led by Ares only strengthened the training of these Germanic warriors in coordination as much as possible; The reason why the pikemen of the Mainz tribe can fight so well is inseparable from the intensive training of Ares and others.
