    This morning, dark, low clouds filled the sky, seeming to press down from the sky to people's heads.  ([] .)

    Because of such bad weather, the whole world seemed dark.  If the torches that were lit at nightfall were not burned out and extinguished on time, it would almost make people feel that there is still some time before dawn.

    Seeing such a sky, even the most determined and fearless warriors can't help but feel nervous and panicked.

    The warriors frowned, looked up at the sky, and exchanged gloomy looks with each other.

    "Look at God, this is not a good day."

    "Vanius said that the gods promised him victory, but look at the sky. Even the wisest priest cannot see the omen of victory in it."

    "Look, by the end of today, how many people will never be able to see the sun again and never be able to return to their hometowns."

    Hearing what the soldiers said, the leaders couldn't help but waver.

    So, after a group of people discussed it, they found Vanius who was having breakfast.

    Seeing the leaders coming in, Vanius laughed: "Ah, good morning, everyone. You finished eating so quickly? Wait for me a little longer. When I destroy this piece of meat, we will go and destroy the Romans."  "

    Hearing these words, the leader couldn't help but smile bitterly.

    Then, the leaders spoke one after another and reported to Vannius the worries of the warriors because of the weather - this worry was not only shared by the warriors, but also by themselves - and as we all know, worried warriors are bound to be worse on the battlefield.  Can't go all out.

    Therefore, the leaders suggested that Vanius had better change his mind and wait for good weather before fighting the Romans - if they go to fight now, they are likely to be defeated.

    While eating meat and drinking milk, Vanius quietly listened to what the leaders said, until everyone felt that they had finished expressing their opinions and closed their mouths.

    Afterwards, Vanius threw the bones on the plate.  He grabbed a piece of linen cloth and touched it on his hand and mouth, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, and stood up.

    "Let me tell you." Looking at the leaders angrily, Vanius roared like an angry bear, "It's all nonsense! Are the soldiers hesitant and afraid, or are you hesitant and afraid?  If you are afraid, just surrender to the Romans and beg to be their slaves! I will lead truly brave warriors to fight the Romans - not a bunch of cowards."

    "And if you don't know how to motivate your warriors, then gather them together and I will tell them personally." After saying that, Vanius waved his hand: "Go. Gather everyone. Quickly.  Go, are you waiting for me to gather them in person?"

    Vannius' unprecedented tyranny frightened all the leaders and made them forget their rebuttals and protests. They obediently turned away from Vannius' tent and went back to gather their soldiers, as if they were all subordinates of the German king.  Same.

    After the leaders left, Vanius, with the help of the guards, put on the golden scales, the golden helmet, and the iron crown on the outside of the helmet that represented his status as the German king.

    after.  Vannius brought along both the gold-encrusted mace and the oaken mace.  He walked out of the tent under the protection of the guards.

    In the middle of the entire camp, outside Vannius' tent, there is a neat and wide square.

    In the center of the northern edge of the square, next to Vanius' big tent, on a man-high earthen fortress, Vanius's giant bear flag was fluttering in the cold morning breeze.

    Silently, he climbed onto the rampart.  Vannius stands under the banner of battle, while his berserker guard surrounds the rampart.

    Accompanied by bursts of noise.  Soldiers appeared and gathered from all over the camp, and then gathered chaotically towards the central square.

    The first to arrive in a neat queue.  It's Vannius's Guards Corps - these rigorously trained veterans, although they are also full of worries about today's war, they still maintain strict discipline and line up silently, waiting for the king's orders.

    Then came the four German field legions - although these warriors were also trained according to the method taught by Vannius, after all, the training time was short, not so strict, and there was still a lack of discipline. Although they were lined up  came, but there were still people whispering while walking.

    However, after arriving next to the Guards, the four square formations gradually became quiet due to the influence of the Guards soldiers who raised their chests and folded their stomachs without squinting.

    After that, it was Bill and the United KingdomArmy - these people have not undergone rigorous training for a long time, and they are not used to such strict rules and regulations, so the queues are somewhat scattered.

    The last ones to arrive were the Britons and Gauls.  Because they have not been trained by Vanius at all, they still maintain the original tradition of "nobles bring their relatives, and commoners follow the nobility". They gather into small battle formations one after another according to the distance of their respective tribes and bloodlines, sparsely  Luoluo gathered together.

    Seeing that everyone was here, Vanius waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

    At the same time, the German king took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly to calm down - even if he thought he was ready, when he saw more than 100,000 people gathered around him to listen to him speak  , Vanius still felt his heart beating hard.

    "I heard that some of you are scared?" Changing to a resting position, Vanius tried his best to look relaxed and nonchalant, yelled, and then spit on the ground, "  Because you saw many clouds in the sky, so you were afraid?"

    After a pause, Vanius pointed toward the sky: "I promised the immortal gods an epic war, and the gods promised me victory and glory. Now they are all coming to watch the battle with thunderclouds, and you  But you told me that you saw too many clouds in the sky, so you were afraid, and you wanted to wait until there were less clouds tomorrow before going to war?"

    This sentence immediately caused the audience to explode.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    ¡°If it were someone who made such a claim, it would definitely be refuted and ridiculed by the soldiers as a fool.  But the person who spoke was the German king Vannius, which was completely different - even the Britons knew that Vannius was the favorite of the German gods, and he was the only one who was not a priest but could communicate with the gods.  people.

    Therefore, Vanius had no reason to lie to them, and it was impossible for him to be wrong - these thunderclouds in the sky were undoubtedly the ironclad evidence that the gods came to watch the battle.

    Thinking about this, I feel excited, excited, nervous, looking forward to it, ashamed

    All kinds of emotions exploded - what a great battle they were about to participate in!  What an honor it is to be able to make a name for yourself in such a battle, or even to die heroically!  And their previous worries, hesitations, and timidities may have become stains in the eyes of the gods that cannot be washed away unless they redouble their efforts in the subsequent battles.

    Before this emotion could fully ferment, Vanius's voice rang again: "I told the leaders the specific battle plan last night. I believe the leaders have also told you. As long as we are on the battlefield,  If our actions are worthy of God¡¯s expectations, then victory and glory will surely belong to us.¡±

    "I'm not one to show off. So I don't need to tell you how I turned the German Youth Commune from a small village into a big city. I don't need to tell you how I rescued Mendupi and the others from Alesia.  Many people. I don¡¯t need to tell you how I defeated and annihilated Crassus¡¯s army. I don¡¯t need to tell you how I defeated the Semnones and crowned me king of Germany. I don¡¯t need to tell you, even the gods  The promise you made, you must reach out and hold it yourself.¡±

    After a pause, Vanius looked at the people in the audience and let his voice rest for a while: "In addition to victory, glory, and long-term freedom, I can also promise you one thing, which is death.  "

    Hearing this, there was a buzz of discussion below - except for the phalanx of the Guards Corps.

    However, this time, Vanius completely ignored the whispers of the soldiers and suppressed all the discussions with his loud voice: "Look around you, take a good look - before the end of today, many of you will  Everyone will die. You will be impaled by the enemy, your head will be chopped off by the enemy, you will bleed all your blood, fall to the ground, and gradually turn into a cold corpse - I can guarantee that there will definitely be no fewer people who will die in battle.  .¡±

    It seemed that Vanius¡¯ intimidation had the opposite effect. This time, the discussion on the court stopped.

    "Are you afraid?" Vanius sneered disdainfully, as if he had already seen the cowards in the array, "If you are afraid, just hide in the camp and shiver, waiting for the Romans to patronize your wives and daughters, or to take you away.  My butt is also clean and white."

    "As for me, even if only the Praetorian Guards follow me, I will go to challenge the Romans and defeat them all! Because the courage and loyalty of the Praetorian Guards have always been unquestionable."Hearing Vannius' public praise, the soldiers of the Guards suddenly flushed with excitement - there is no doubt that even without considering their past achievements, just based on Vannius's praise, they  It is enough to surpass the warriors of all other countries and nations.

    Before the soldiers could figure out their position, Vanius pointed at the gate and roared: "Open the camp gate and attack with the whole army!"

    Before Vanius finished speaking, a faint light suddenly emitted from the clouds in the sky, and rolling thunder fell in the distance.

    When everyone was surprised by the sudden thunder, Vanius had already roared and jumped off the earthen barrier: "The immortal god has personally beaten the war drum, what are you waiting for!"

    Afterwards, under the leadership of Vannius, these passionate warriors, the Germans, Britons, Bilgees, and Gauls, lined up, left the camp, and headed towards the Roman camp.  (To be continued)
