The Third Legion of the Gallic Tribal Coalition in the Aquitani region was headed by General Aminos of the Rimon tribe; The Fourth Army was led by General Anelin, a famous Gallic general in the Aquitani region.

Compared to the several captains of the Rimon tribe appointed by the Rimon tribe with their great strength, Anelin, the commander of the Fourth Legion, is the real and deserving commander; Anelin is not the best of the entire Gallic barbarians, but he is one of the undisputed generals of the Aquitani region, and the only one who has been recognized entirely by his own efforts!

Anelin himself was just a child born into a small tribe, and he struggled with his family to make ends meet since he was a child; Until he was twelve years old, when his father was killed in a conflict with other tribes, he became the breadwinner of the family as the eldest son and began to fight for the survival of the family.

Over the next decade, he grew from an ordinary boy to the most powerful warrior in the entire tribe, and the only Gallic warrior in this little-known tribe; His weapon came from the exchange of hunting an adult bear.

Ten years is enough time for him to become strong and accumulate a lot of wealth for his family; These riches are enough for his family to live a carefree life for another ten years without worrying about food and drink.

After solving his worries, Anelin left this small and weak tribe and embarked on a real path to fame; After leaving his tribe, he continued to travel to more powerful tribes to serve those tribes and improve his abilities.

Ten years later, Anelin had become a well-known general in the Aquitani region through his own efforts; Many of the great tribes of Gaul would be happy to hire Anelin as a general to lead their tribesmen's warriors when they fought with other tribes, and Anelin was always on the verge of completing his mission very well.

After completing one last mission, Anelin decided to return home with the wealth and status he had earned for ten years, and to take his family away from the small tribe; Sadly, when Anelin returned home, the small tribe he had been in had been annexed by a large nearby tribe, and his family had all been killed in the annexation war.

Anerin alone could not take revenge; So, he joined a nearby middle tribe that had a grudge against the big tribe. With Anelin's fame, the tribe that was not strong was naturally desperate; In this way, Anerin joined the tribe and became the general of the tribe's eight hundred Gallic warriors.

After possessing these 800 Gallic warriors, Anerin did not rush to revenge, but devoted himself to the training of these 800 Gallic warriors; A year later, with these 800 Gallic warriors, he wiped out the 3,000 Gallic army of that great tribe in a single battle, and completely wiped out the great tribe on the territory of the Aquitani region!

Anelin, who became famous in the first battle, coupled with his own bravery and affectionate character, made him quickly become a heroic presence in the entire Aquitani region; This is also the reason why the Rimon tribe appointed him as the commander of the Fourth Legion, because Anelin is not only capable but also prestigious, and is one of the worthy candidates for the commander.

More importantly, Anelin did not have too strong a background of power, and he was chosen to serve as the commander of the legion; Even if he once again established his exploits and prestige in the war, it would not affect the development of the Rimon tribe, let alone pose any threat to the Rimon tribe, which was the key to the Rimon tribe's decision to appoint him as the commander of the legion.

The commander of the Third Legion, Aminos, was the eldest son of Vaktisa and the heir to the leader of the Rimon tribe; People who have lived in a Gallic world where martial arts are paramount since childhood will naturally have a lot of reverence for heroes like Anelin.

Therefore, the third legion of Aminos and the fourth legion of Anelin were the two legions that got along the most; Even the heirs of the leader of the Rimon tribe have great respect for the Commander of the Armon Legion, and the warriors of the Rimon tribe in the two legions naturally do not challenge the authority of the Anelin.

After the Third and Fourth Legions entered the forest, Aminos handed over the command of the two legions to Anelin; Anerin did not refuse, but took over the command of the two corps and made new adjustments to the deployment of the two corps.

According to the idea of the Rimon tribe, when each legion participates in the battle, the warriors of other tribes should rush to the front, and let the warriors of the Rimon tribe sit in the rear to preserve their strength; Anelin, on the other hand, took a completely different approach, placing the elite warriors of the Rimon tribe in the front and the warriors of other tribes with weak combat effectiveness in the rear, according to the actual situation.

Aminos did not raise any objections to Anelin's decision; He didn't approve of the machinations of his father and the elders, but he was not qualified to oppose it, and now he would not question Anelin's reasonable arrangement.

The 5,000 warriors of the Rimon tribe of the 3rd Legion and the 5,000 warriors of the Rimon tribe of the 4th Legion were divided into two attacking phalanxes by the Anelin, and they slowly advanced forward one after the other; The remaining 10,000 warriors of other tribes were scattered behind the two attacking phalanxes and on the left and right flanks, taking on the task of guarding and reinforcing them.

The presence of the Forest Hunter was discovered when the five thousand Lemon warriors of the Third Legion, who were the first to attack the phalanx, approached within three hundred meters of the Forest Hunter; And the forest hunters have long been aware of the traces of a large enemy army.

Upon discovering the enemy who was on the line, Anerin immediately gave the order to the soldiers of the first attacking phalanx to attack quickly, while the rest of the soldiers stopped their march on the spot; After receiving the order, the well-trained warriors of the Rimon tribe immediately began to run and attack the enemy in front.

After seeing the warriors of the Rimon tribe chanting the charge within two hundred meters, the forest hunters began their volleys again; These infantry can't run as fast as the cavalry, and it's enough for the forest hunters to shoot more rounds of arrows.

Five thousand Gallic warriors, desperately charging under the volley of three thousand forest hunters; Seeing their own warriors harvested like wheat by enemy archers, Anerin and Aminos understood why the patrolling cavalry was so afraid of the enemy's archer horde.

Now that the battle has begun, there is no point in regretting it; Anelin's famous general did not come for nothing, he decisively ordered the 5,000 warriors of the second phalanx to also attack immediately, and the remaining 10,000 warriors of other tribes also sent 5,000 warriors to outflank the enemy from the left and right flanks of the phalanx to distract the enemy!

At the same time, the use of 15,000 Gallic warriors to attack the positions defended by 3,000 forest hunters is pure lion fighting rabbits; However, Karabes, who was sitting next to the forest hunters, couldn't help but show a look of appreciation to the commander of the enemy army after seeing this attack of the Rimon tribe.

It is a pity that war is war, a life-and-death battle between us and the enemy; Carabis doesn't show mercy to his men just because he admires the way his generals attack, and the best enemies are always dead!

Just as Anelin ordered the fifteen-thousand-strong army to attack on all fronts, Karabes also ordered himself to lead the forest hunters to retreat while continuing to shoot; The 4,000 soldiers of the Mastiff Legion also retreated with him, and Carabes directly gave up the head-to-head confrontation with the enemy, choosing to avoid the front for the time being.

Of course, while temporarily avoiding the edge, the bows and arrows in the hands of the forest hunters never stopped; After fifteen rounds of arrows, the forest hunters had retreated five hundred meters back, and the enemy was only fifty meters away!

After nearly twenty rounds of arrow rain shooting, the fire speed and lethality of the forest hunters have decreased significantly; At this time, the place of the battle was only a few hundred meters away from Grace's mastiff troops, and there was no need to continue the struggle.

Karabes then ordered the forest hunters to stop firing and retreat two hundred meters with all their might to rest, while the two thousand Gallic warriors and two thousand fanatics of the mastiff army immediately met the enemy and covered the forest hunters' retreat.

The army of the Rimon tribe, which had slaughtered the forest hunters with great vigour, was now only about 14,000 remaining; To Anelin and Aminos' dismay, the fourteen thousand warriors were the remaining strength of the entire 20,000 army, not the fifteen thousand warriors who had been invested at the beginning.

The enemy's formidable archers had finally ceased firing, and the Gallic warriors, who had been overwhelmed by the archers, could at last pounce on the enemy with no qualms of grievance and fury; Can the enemy's infantry of about 4,000 be able to stop the attack of his own army of 14,000 on all fronts? Anelin and Aminos are confident in this!

When the 4,000 warriors of the Mastiff Legion and the 14,000 enemy troops were caught in a scuffle, a roar of the Mastiff was heard from the rear of Calabes; Perhaps, the roar of a war mastiff is not enough to make people fearful, but what about the roar of more than 6,000 war mastiffs?

The sound of fierce battles and the exchange of weapons, coupled with the shouts of soldiers on both sides, all these voices were completely muffled by the roars of more than 6,000 war mastiffs; When the army of the Rimon tribe involuntarily looked in the direction where the sound came from, what they saw was a dense rush of war mastiffs!
