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

Seven years of war had reduced the population of the Germanic barbarians by forty percent, and the Upper Germanic region of the Germanic barbarians had been reduced to ruins; Although the Germanic barbarians eventually won the war, they lost the strength to continue their fight against the Gaul barbarians.

The Gallic barbarians had seven powerful tribes, vast lands, and ample populations; However, the Germanic barbarians only had the sparsely populated Lower Germanic region and the ruined Upper Germanic region, and the total population was less than the population of one area of the Gallic barbarians, and the war potential between the two sides was too great.

In order to massively expand their own strength, but also to accumulate capital against the Gallic barbarians; The last seven Germanic tribal leaders who survived this decisive battle decided to seize more land and population and develop the Germanic peoples by expanding to the east!

Of course, while expanding eastward, it was necessary to be wary of the Gallic barbarians; If the Gallic barbarians had taken advantage of the expansion of the Germanic armies to the east and had another large-scale invasion, the Germanic barbarians would have really become a part of history.

It is simply impossible for the Germanic barbarians to gather a large army to expand eastward while beware of the Gallic barbarians in the west; In desperation, the seven chieftains decided to formally integrate the female warriors who played a crucial role in the decisive battle into the army of the Germanic barbarians as a regular army.

With this solution to the problem of insufficient troops, the Germanic barbarians quickly formed seven armies led by the seven tribes; Among them, the most powerful Trier tribal army was stationed in the upper Germanic region under the leadership of its leader, in case of an invasion by the Gaul barbarians at any time.

The weakest Badawi tribal army, under the leadership of its leader, was stationed in the Lower Germanic region to protect the most important place for the Germanic barbarians; At the same time, the army of the Badawi tribe will also act as a backup for the army of the Trier tribe, and once the Gallic barbarians launch another invasion war, the army of the Badawi tribe will need to immediately support the army of the Trier tribe.

After arranging the two armies that remained in their homeland, the remaining five armies began a war of conquest of the eastern regions; In fact, the Germanic barbarians' defense against the Gallic barbarians was purely superfluous and completely unnecessary.

In the previous Seven Years' War, the Gallic barbarians had paid the price of nearly 140,000 dead; Even if the 140,000 army was organized by the union of seven tribes, on average, each tribe lost 20,000 warriors, which is not a small number.

Coupled with such a long war, the Gallic expeditionary army consumed countless grains and grasses; It is no exaggeration to say that the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians, who had fought this war, were almost on the verge of collapse, and even many tribes had already starved to death.

If the final victory is won, the price paid can be said to be in the past; The key is that after paying such a heavy price, they lost so badly in the end, which directly made the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians, who were already not united, even more dissatisfied with each other.

All the leaders of the Gallic barbarians believed that the reason why this war of conquest against the Germanic barbarians would fail was not that the army of their own tribe did not dare to be brave, nor that the strength of the Germanic barbarians was strong, but that the armies of other tribes were dragging their feet!

Such an idea is shared by the leaders of each of the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians, and it is inevitable that the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians, which contradict each other; In addition, the food crisis of the various tribes became more and more serious, and soon, the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians began to fall into mutual conquest, and there was no time to care about the affairs of the Germanic barbarians.

Without the disturbance of the Gallic barbarians, the five armies of the Germanic barbarians united and quickly conquered the region of Agridigumat in the east; After consultations, the relatively wealthy region of Agripumat was handed over to the Mainz tribes, who had contributed the most to the fighting.

After gaining the territory of Agripugumat, the army of the Mainz tribe did not stop there, but continued to expand eastward with the armies of the other four tribes; Next, they conquered the more affluent region of Kadi, and this time when the spoils were distributed, there was no share of the Mainz tribes, but the Dam tribes gained dominance.

After that, the tribal alliance of the Germanic barbarians conquered the Saxon region and two new regions, and the Saxon region was given to the Bodenshom tribe to rule; The other two newly occupied areas were placed under the rule of the Gothic and Macomani tribes, respectively, who named the newly occupied areas after their own tribes.

At this point, the seven tribes of the Germanic barbarians who survived the decisive battle with the Gaul barbarians all had their own tribes by expanding eastward; In this way, the entire Germanic barbarians finally had a ruling area and population that was not inferior to that of the Gaul barbarians, and the potential for war was developed by leaps and bounds.

In order for the Germanic barbarians not to repeat the mistakes of the Gallic barbarians, and for the better development and survival of the entire Germanic barbarians; With their respective territories, the seven major tribes of the Germanic barbarians have united to formulate a "Germanic Law" where the Germanic barbarians are supreme!

The so-called "Germanic Law" has only two core rules; First, the seven great tribes of the Germanic barbarians must always be united, and any internal contradictions must be resolved in a coordinated manner, and they must not be fought by war or force.

Second, no matter which of the seven major tribes of the Germanic barbarians was invaded by a foreign enemy, the other six tribes must unconditionally support the tribe; Even if the entire tribe's land is taken by the enemy, the other six tribes must help the tribe regain the lost land and guarantee the tribe's rule over the region.

In fact, this newly formulated law is to solve the problem of asymmetry in the ruling areas of the seven major Germanic barbarian tribes; The Upper Germanic region, once the most powerful Trier tribe, ruled by its tribes, was not only the poorest, but would always face the threat of war from the Gallic barbarians, while the other tribes were located east of the Trier tribe.

Geographically, the Trier tribe was the frontier barrier for the entire Germanic barbarians against the Gallic barbarians; For such a hard-working tribe that is difficult to develop, the other six tribes naturally have to compensate.

What kind of food, grass, weapons and equipment, the other six tribes have already provided a lot of money for the Trier tribe; However, in order to let the Trier tribe really let go of their worries, and for the stability and development of the entire Germanic people, the seven Germanic tribes signed the "Germanic Law" that made the Germanic tribes quickly strong.

Compared with the growing strength of the seven tribes of the Germanic barbarians, the seven tribes of the Gallic barbarians are still fighting tribal wars for some battles of will and petty profits; The gap in strength between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and even surpassing!

With the passage of time, among the seven regions of the Germanic barbarians, the relatively richest region of the Kadi region became more and more prosperous, and even surpassed the lower Germanic region and became the core area of the entire Germanic barbarians; And the most powerful tribe in military strength has always been the Trier tribe that rules Upper Germania, and they are at the forefront of resisting the Gallic barbarians!

In addition to their own development and growth, the support of the other six tribes to the Trier tribe is also continuous, which has shaped the extremely powerful Trier tribe militarily; In contrast to the Germanic barbarian Trier tribe, the Alesian tribe of the Gallic barbarians, ruled the Greater Gaul region, which was the most prosperous core area of the entire Gallic barbarians.

Although the Gallic barbarians were very disunited and fought frequently with each other; However, the Alesian tribe, which relied on the Greater Gallic region, was undoubtedly the strongest tribe of the entire Gallic barbarians, and its military strength was unmatched by other tribes.

After the civil war in Gaul had subsided and the military strength of the Alesian tribes had slowly recovered, the leaders of the Alesian tribes decided to compensate for the losses of the Alesian tribes by waging another war against the Germanic barbarians.

The lack of information between the barbarian forces made the Alesian tribe think that the Germanic barbarians were still the weak soft persimmons they once were; Thus, a war broke out between the Alesian tribes and the Trier tribes.

With the great military strength of the Alesian tribes, an army of 30,000 men was organized to invade the Upper Germanic region without exerting all their strength; The Trier tribe, on the other hand, had a regular army of 20,000 people, and after learning that the Gallic barbarian army was attacking again, the other six tribes immediately jointly organized an army of 30,000 people to reinforce the Trier tribe.

The warriors of the Germanic barbarians were already superior to the Gallic barbarians in their will to fight, and the Gallic barbarians had previously gained an advantage in war by absolute numerical superiority; This time, the Gallic barbarians did not even have numerical superiority, how could they possibly win the war?

It turned out that the Gallic barbarians, having lost their absolute numerical superiority, were no match for the Germanic barbarian armies at all; Before the reinforcements from the other six tribes arrived, the Trier tribe led an army of 20,000 of their own tribe to completely defeat the 30,000 army of the Gallic barbarians, and killed and captured more than 20,000 enemy soldiers!

After this battle, the Gallic barbarians truly recognized the power of the Germanic people; Later, information about the successful eastward expansion of the Germanic peoples was also known to the Gallic barbarians. From then on, the offensive and defensive roles of the Gallic barbarians and the Germanic barbarians were completely reversed; The Trier tribe became the vanguard of repeated invasions of the Gallic barbarians, while the Alesian tribes became a barrier against the Germanic barbarians!
