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

Aminos's voluntary surrender was what Carabes wanted to see, but it was also what Carabes expected; Because when the army of the Rimon tribe surrendered, Calabest called Aminos to his side and said the word "kill with a knife".

It is true that the Gaul barbarians are civilized and backward barbarians, but they are not fools either; What Calabes meant by these four words, Aminos naturally knew it. Aminos didn't understand why Calabes knew the Rimon tribe's biggest secret, but that wasn't the most important thing; The most important thing is that this secret is absolutely not to be known to anyone!

If the Rimon tribe's plan succeeds, it will certainly not be afraid of others knowing; Even if others knew the cause and effect of the incident, who could compete with the victorious Rimon tribe?

The crux of the matter is that the plan of the Rimon tribe has failed completely; Not only did it fail, but it was a complete defeat, and even the foundation of the Rimon tribe was completely lost in this war.

The 30,000 army was wiped out, not 300 or 3,000, but a full 30,000! Do you know what the loss of 30,000 people means for the Rimon tribe? This meant that even without a follow-up attack by Calabes, the Rimon tribe would hardly survive; No matter how the Rimon tribe tries to save itself, it is impossible to escape the end of human death and annihilation.

The reason is also very simple, the casualties of 30,000 warriors are not only the loss of the most important 30,000 combat strength of the Rimon tribe, but also a symbol that 30,000 families of the Rimon tribe will lose their pillars; There are 30,000 families, and there are only 50,000 families in the entire Rimon tribe.

How will the 30,000 families who have lost their breadwinners survive? Shall the old and weak women and children go to the forest to fight the wild beasts? Well, even if the Rimon tribe can work together to solve the internal existential crisis, what about the threat from the outside?

Why did the Rimon tribe become the overlord tribe of the Aquitani region? Why did you recruit an army of 20,000 at the heart of the word? With it, isn't it its own strong strength? Once they lose the strength that this Rimon tribe relies on to survive and dominate, will those other tribes with great ambitions still bow down to the Rimon tribe?

The tribal survival law of the Gallic barbarians has always been that of the jungle; Powerful tribes can not only gain the respect of other tribes, but also gain the power to rule other tribes, while weak tribes can only survive by attaching themselves to powerful tribes.

As for the once powerful overlord tribe, after losing its hegemonic strength, its fate is bound to be tragic; The new overlord tribe that came later will not give the previous overlord tribe a chance to make a comeback, and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is also the rule of the Gallic tribal battle.

What's more, while the Rimon tribe has lost its own strong strength foundation, there is such an inescapable handle that is caught in the hands of Karabes; As long as Calabis threw the whole handle in front of the leaders of the other tribes, the Rimon tribe would immediately become the public enemy of all the tribes in the entire Aquitani region, and it would be impossible to escape the fate of extinction.

In fact, the people of those tribes did not care at all about this so-called conspiracy of the Rimon tribe; Regardless of whether this plot is realized or not, at least it is enough as an excuse for everyone to unite and attack the Rimon tribe.

The once powerful Rimon tribe, which once dominated the Aquitani region for so long, has accumulated wealth and heritage that is absolutely coveted by all other tribes; Even tribes that do not have the strength to acquire these riches can get a piece of the pie by grabbing population, which is one of the important measures of wealth in the world of the Gallic barbarians.

In fact, in the face of this unprecedented fiasco, the situation of the Rimon tribe was the most difficult and the most helpless; The Rimon tribe, which has lost its 30,000 elite army, has also lost its position as the overlord, and even how to survive will be a problem.

Therefore, it is also a good choice for the Rimon tribe to take the initiative to surrender to Karabes; After all, the Rimon tribe is still the nominal overlord tribe in the Aquitani region, and if they surrender Karabes, they can also fight for more development capital.

Coupled with the four words of Carabess, it directly broke down the psychological defense of Aminos; Therefore, the surrender of Aminos was a matter of course. As for whether the elders of the Rimon tribe were willing to surrender, that was not something that Aminos needed to consider, and it was something that Aminos would not consider at all.

Each tribe of the Gallic barbarians, regardless of their strength or size, will have their own tribe leader and elders; On the surface, the relationship between the leaders and the elders is extremely close and mutually reinforcing.

But those who really live in this circle will know that such harmony is only superficial; The relationship between the leaders and elders of each tribe is very tense, or it can be described as open and covert.

The reason is also very simple, the power of each tribe is limited, and the power of the leader is more, and the power of the elders is naturally less, and vice versa; How can the relationship between the two sides in the struggle for power be harmonious?

How could the battle between Aminos's father, Vaktisa, be the leader of the Rimon tribe, and the elders of the Rimon tribe be hidden from him? This kind of struggle is not only between the chiefs and the elders, even Aminos, as the eldest son of the chief, has always competed with the children of the elders in various ways since he was a child, which is unavoidable.

In view of this, as long as Aminos can ensure the safety of the Rimon tribe and ensure that his position is not threatened, why should the others worry? The elders of the Rimon tribe will do it if they want to go against Karabes, in the end they will only play with fire**, and the real benefit is themselves, so why should they stop these things from happening?

With the surrender of the new leader of the Rimon tribe and all the other chiefs of the tribes, large and small, Karabes screened all the captives the next day; Out of nearly 20,000 captives, Calabes selected 3,000 infantry with moderate combat effectiveness to replenish the losses of his legions.

The losses of the Itami cavalry corps were the most elite of the captured cavalry; After the 5,000 men were transferred, Carabis asked Anelin and Aminos to select 4,000 of the most elite warriors to be the main force of the newly formed Sixth Legion.

Of course, the newly formed Sixth Army was not only 4,000 soldiers; It's just that the remaining 3,000 places, Karabes still plans to choose from the various tribal armies that are about to be disbanded, and there will definitely be a large number of elite warriors among them.

Among these captured soldiers, the most elite troops were these nine thousand, and the rest were just some Gallic infantry who had been frightened by the bloody and cruel battle; For these people, Karabes did not hesitate to release them all on the spot.

After this terrible battle, these Gallic infantrymen, who had been defeated several times in battle, had long since lost their glory and faith as warriors; Instead of letting them continue to fight on the battlefield, let them go home and contribute to the development of the Aquitani region!

The 50,000 troops raised by the Rimon tribe this time are almost one-third of the young and strong population of the entire Aquitani region; In addition to the 30,000 who died in battle, Karabes selected another 9,000 to continue in the army, and the remaining 10,000 must be released.

Otherwise, after losing one-third of the young population of the Aquitani region at one time, it will not be easy for Calabis to develop the Aquitani region after it has successfully taken over the region.

A population of 10,000 is not too much, but it is definitely not a small number, and the role it can play in the development of the Aquitani region cannot be ignored; Therefore, Karabes deserved to release them all, and two days after the release, he began to march.

After the mighty army returned to the Rimon tribe, the main army of Calabes successfully took over the city of Rimon controlled by the Rimon tribe; And the elders of the Rimon tribe also maintained enough awe under the soldiers of Karabes.

Immediately after taking control of the Rimon tribe and the city of Rimon, Calabis put Itami's Third Legion and Brigo's Fourth Legion in charge of 'escorting' the leaders of the forty-seven tribes back to their tribes one by one and fulfilling their promises.

The First Legion and Grace's Fifth Legion, under the personal command of Calabes, as well as the newly formed Sixth Legion, were stationed outside the city of Rimon; The defense of the city of Rimon was carried out by the forest hunters and hoplites of the First Legion.

The Sixth Legion of Anelin and Aminos originally had a shortage of 3,000 soldiers; After entering the city of Rimon, Aminos strongly recommended Carabis to recruit another 1,500 soldiers in the Rimon tribe, on the grounds that the quality of the warriors of the Rimon tribe is the best in the entire Aquitani region, and other tribes also have good warriors, but there will definitely not be as many as the Rimon tribe.

Anelin also fairly agreed with this; After all, the Rimon tribe, as the former overlord tribe of the Aquitani region, has human, material, and financial resources that cannot be compared with other tribes, and it is reasonable to train more and better warriors.

Since the commander of the Sixth Legion and the adjutant general of the legion said so, Carabis naturally could not refuse; As a result, the Rimon tribe once again provided 1,500 qualified warriors for the Sixth Legion, and the outstanding warriors of the other tribes were also sent to Rimon City when the two legions under the command of Karabeth took over the tribe one after another, and the Sixth Legion was officially formed!
