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

The Batawi tribe in the Lower Germanic region originally only had 25,000 Germanic warriors, and after sending 3,000 warriors to reinforce the Mainz tribe, the Badawi tribe had only 22,000 warriors left, while the British barbarians on the opposite side had 66,000 troops!

The British barbarian power represented by Balenas put great military pressure on the Badawi tribes in the Lower Germanic region; In particular, the armies of these British barbarians were still being assembled, and whoever they attacked was enough to alert the Badawi tribes.

Atrilius, the leader of the Badawi tribe, was also in close contact with Ricberges, the leader of the Trier tribe in Upper Germania, and the two men consulted together on how to defend themselves against a possible attack by the British and Gallic barbarians; Originally, these two people did not think that the British barbarians and the Gallic barbarians would take the initiative to attack them, but the information provided by the tragic dead made them see the crisis.

Whether it was the British barbarians with an army of 66,000 or the Gallic barbarians who rapidly expanded to 50,000 people, their actions did affect the overall development of the situation, and the Badawi and Trier tribes, which were Germanic barbarians, had to be defended.

It was not difficult to defend against the attacks of the British and Gallic barbarians, it was only necessary to gather a sufficient number of troops in the border areas; However, if war does break out, then these armies assembled in the border areas are in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Compared to the strength of the Trier tribes, the limited strength of the Badawi tribes limited the number of troops they could deploy in the border areas, and also made it impossible for them to balance the border areas and the native areas in the rear; In order to solve the problem of the lack of strength of the Badawi tribe, the Trier tribe also decided to help the Badawi tribe in this regard.

The leader of the Trier tribe, Ric Burgess, decided that of the 35,000 troops of the Trier tribe, 20,000 of the most elite Germanic warriors would be stationed in the border area with the Gallic barbarian Alesian tribe, and the remaining 10,000 troops would be stationed in the rear as reinforcements.

As for the 5,000 warriors of the Trier tribe who were transferred, the Trier tribe and the Badawi tribe will take these 5,000 people as the core, recruit 15,000 new warriors, and form a mobile force of 20,000 people; The area where this mobile unit is stationed is the border between Upper and Lower Germania.

Their task is to be responsible for reinforcing the Badawi tribe at any time, or reinforcing the Trier tribe; The 23,000 warriors of the Badawi tribe will send the elite 20,000 warriors to the border area after the establishment of this force, leaving only 3,000 warriors to guard the rear territory.

If there really happened that the British barbarians blatantly attacked the Badawi tribe, while the 20,000 Badawi tribe warriors in the border area resisted desperately, the 20,000-strong mobile force would also quickly reinforce the Badawi tribe.

Even if both the Trier and Badawi tribes are attacked by the enemy, the mobile force must give priority to reinforcing the Badawi tribes; After all, the Trier tribe is still much stronger than the Badawi tribe, and the strength of the British barbarians is much stronger than the Alesian tribe of the Gallic barbarians, and the Badawi tribe does need this support army more than the Trier tribe.

Unless the Badawi tribe did not suffer any attack, and the Trier tribe suffered a brazen invasion by the enemy, this mobile force would quickly move south to reinforce the Trier tribe; Otherwise, this is the twenty thousand warriors formed to reinforce the Badawi tribe.

With the presence of such a mobile force, the ties between the Badawi tribe and the Trier tribe have become even closer, and the Badawi tribe has temporarily relaxed its high tensions; The existence of such an army is indeed of extraordinary significance to the Badawi tribe, at least it gives the leader of the Badawi tribe, Itrilius, a strong confidence in his heart.

Unfortunately, the union of Barenas and Brenus made the situation of the Trier and Badawi tribes even more difficult; The 46,000 British barbarian army is not something that the 20,000 army of the Badawi tribe can resist, after all, the British barbarian army is not weaker than the Germanic barbarians, and it has an absolute advantage in numbers.

The British barbarian army led by Balenas himself crossed the border area and launched an attack on the lower Germanic region, and the 20,000 warriors of the Badawi tribe stationed in the border area immediately launched a fierce counterattack; The warriors of the Germanic barbarians and the warriors of the British barbarians fought a bloody battle in the jungles of the Lower Germanic region.

The warriors of the Badawi tribe were also Germanic warriors who were skilled in jungle fighting, while the British barbarian warriors under the command of Balenas were not inferior to the Germanic warriors in terms of their will to fight; The fierce battle between the two sides can be regarded as a chess opponent.

Atrilius, the leader of the Badawi tribe, immediately sent a letter of help to the mobile troops not far from the battlefield after receiving the news of the invasion of the British barbarians; It is hoped that the 20,000-strong army of the Mobile Force will quickly rush to the aid of the Badawi tribe.

Just when the Badawi tribe was invaded by the powerful army of the British barbarians, the Alesian tribe of the Gallic barbarians, also led by its leader Brenus, an army of 40,000 Gallic barbarians slaughtered the Upper Germanic region.

The 20,000 elite divisions of the Trier tribe are not an existence that can be defeated at will by just 40,000 Gallic barbarian warriors, especially since the 20,000 Trier army still has the most elite Germanic berserkers in the entire Trier tribe; With these invincible berserkers as the main force, the other 20,000 warriors of the Trier tribe can exert even more formidable combat effectiveness.

The 40,000 Gallic barbarian warriors led by Brenus himself encountered a strong counterattack from the Trier tribal defenders on the day of the invasion of Upper Germania; Spearheaded by hundreds of berserkers, Trier's counter-attacking army launched a full-scale counterattack against the invading Gallic barbarian army in one of the few flat areas of the border region.

20,000 elite Germanic warriors of the Trier tribe and 40,000 Gallic barbarian warriors of the Alesian tribe fought for a whole day; Under the frantic fighting of the berserkers, the four attacks organized by the Alesian tribe were defeated, and even the all-out attack organized by Brenus himself was defeated by the desperate counterattack of the Germanic warriors.

On this first day of fighting alone, the army of the Trier tribes paid the price of nearly 4,000 men, and a fifth of their forces were lost; The 40,000 Gallic barbarian army led by Brenus himself paid the price of more than 8,000 casualties.

Although the cost of casualties on both sides was one-fifth of their total strength, one-fifth of the Gallic barbarians was a full double that of the Germanic barbarians; The fierce battle made the morale of the Gallic barbarian warriors drop very much, after all, the Alesian tribe has not taken the initiative to attack the Germanic barbarians for more than a hundred years, and the momentum is congenitally insufficient.

Over the next three days, the armies of the Alesian tribes fought several more battles with the Germanic warriors of the Trier tribes; Both sides paid a very heavy price in casualties, and the army of the Trier tribe in the border area also dropped rapidly from 20,000 to only about 7,000 troops, and the army of the Alesian tribe lost more than 20,000 troops!

On the fourth day, 10,000 reinforcements led by Rike Burgess, the leader of the Trier tribe, also arrived at the border; With the addition of this 10,000-strong army and the personal command of the tribal leader Rick Burgess, the Trier tribe, with an army of 17,000, immediately launched a counterattack, while Brenus could only barely meet the battle.

A massive battle ensued in the border region, with more than 40,000 barbarian warriors fighting desperately under the orders of their tribal leaders, completely ignoring anything else and treating the enemy in front of them as their only thing.

The battle between the Germanic barbarians and the Gallic barbarians ended in a complete victory for the Germanic barbarians, and the Alesian tribes who fled back to Greater Gaul had only about 5,000 warriors, and the Trier tribe's army was only 13,000 men.

From the invasion of 40,000 troops of the Gallic barbarians, to the defeat of only 5,000 or so, only five days have passed; The Trier tribe paid the price of 17,000 dead soldiers, leaving behind nearly 30,000 enemy corpses and 5,000 prisoners.

As for the captives, the warriors of the Germanic barbarians were naturally temporarily detained, and as for the specific disposition, let's wait until the end of the war; The completely defeated Gallic barbarian Alesian tribe will not be able to launch another attack in a short time, and Rick Burgess can also personally lead the elite 8,000 soldiers to the aid of the Badawi tribe after leaving 5,000 soldiers to continue to guard the border area.

At this time, the 20,000-strong army of the Badawi tribe had been completely defeated by the 46,000-strong army of the British barbarians; At the cost of about 6,000 killed, Balenas wiped out more than 10,000 Germanic warriors of the Badawi tribe, and the remaining 7,000 or so Badawi warriors withdrew to Badawi City with the cooperation of the mobile force.

Balenas's army launched a full-scale pursuit of the retreating Germanic barbarian warriors, and after reaching the city of Badawi, the leader of the Badawi tribe, Atrilius, personally commanded 30,000 Germanic barbarian warriors to fight against Balenas's 40,000 army.

Rickbergess did not expect 5,000 warriors from the frontier to defend Upper Germania, and he had recruited 20,000 warriors in the rear to train before he led his army to aid the Badawi tribes; Once the training is completed, the 20,000 fighters will reinforce the 5,000 soldiers in the border areas, and the absolute security of the Upper Germanic region will be ensured.

When the Upper and Lower Germanic regions fell under the combined attack of the Gallic barbarians and the British barbarians, the war in the region of Agridigumat was further developed; The war between the Germanic barbarian tribes and the Julius family is also in the real decisive period!
