After everything was decided, the kings were ready to say goodbye and return to their countries - because several countries were just starting out, many things were still waiting for them to decide. ([] )
At this time, news also came from the east - the situation in the Kingdom of Dacia has stabilized.
Originally, Decebarus¡¯s power in the country was at a disadvantage.
But after Decebarus obtained foreign aid through his two wives, the situation was completely reversed - the cavalry troops from the Kingdom of Samatia and the Geta cavalry under Decebarus suppressed the enemy's cavalry. The cavalry and the fierce Germanic field legion defeated the Roman legion by virtue of their numerical superiority and slightly superior individual strength.
Because the target was the Romans, the two field legions of Bastanai and Arei spared no effort. After paying the price of more than 3,000 people, they slaughtered more than 10,000 Romans and the auxiliary legions they brought. All.
Such bloody killings completely defeated the opposition forces. Immediately afterwards, the Gotones Field Legion also entered Dacia and directly broke through the main opposition formation in the final battle. The formation killed the two brothers of Decebalus and a series of leaders. Completely destroying the opposition's chain of command.
After that, three German field legions accompanied Brebista's Thracian troops into the Thracian region, and handed over the affairs of the Dacian Kingdom to Decebalus. The Samatis cavalry troops, which had not received further orders, remained in Dacia to assist Decebalus in stabilizing the domestic situation.
While Decebalus was reorganizing the army to appease the powerful and stabilize the situation. Envoys were also sent. Express gratitude to the Kingdom of Germany and Samatis for their help.
According to the envoy's estimation, Decebarus should have ascended the throne and become the king of Dacia by now.
In the Thrace region, due to Brebista and his tribe, the local Thracian tribes also split into two factions without exception. Some tribes supported Brebista's return and attacked the Romans. Others believed that it was impossible for the Germans to defeat the Romans, so falling to the Germans now was a way to die.
However, the war between the two factions has just begun, and the Romans have made no further moves. So it¡¯s hard to say what will happen.
The other piece of news is from Pluto-san.
According to the reports of spies sent by the Albissi to the Italian region, an elusive bandit group appeared in the Po River Basin.
This group of robbers hides day and night. They moved quickly, specifically attacking remote manors, killing their owners, plundering their wealth, and taking away all their slaves.
And, it is obvious that as this bandit group continues to act, the scale of this bandit group is also getting larger and larger.
At the beginning, this bandit group only dared to attack the most remote small farms guarded by only a few retired veterans.
And more than ten days later. This bandit group began to attack those small estates.
A few days later, a large manor with dozens of guards was breached.
The latest news is that this bandit group attacked a quarry. The quarry was staffed by hundreds of guards and thousands of slave laborers.
This successful attack finally made the Romans pay attention to it - not many years after Spartacus was suppressed, taking advantage of the Germanic invasion, there was actually another team armed with escaped slaves. Operation in northern Italy, this is undoubtedly a dangerous sign.
So, the Romans began to recruit legions, preparing to find and suppress this bandit group with regular troops.
As for the results of the crackdown, so far. Vanius hasn't gotten any valuable information yet.
After getting this information, the Gauls were immediately energized.
After all, regardless of the legacy of the Romans and Carthaginians in the area, the indigenous people of Spain can be considered a branch of the Gauls. And, just a generation or two ago. There was also a certain degree of intermarriage between the Aquitanis and the Spaniards, and they thus retained a not distant kinship.
therefore. When they heard that the Thracians supported by the Germans had launched a revolution in Thrace, and that a group of unknown slaves began to arm themselves against the Romans, the Aquitaine immediately stated that although their The army has not yet been fully organized, but it can also send envoys into Spanish areas to contact and incite local indigenous people to rise up against the Romans.
Hearing that the Aquitani people actually had the courage to make more contributions to the alliance at a time when their own foothold was still uncertain, the Keletes and Bilge people were also greatly encouraged, and immediately promised that they would not only send troops to protect the Aquitani The Danes, you can also send troops and the AquidaniansEnter Spain together to provide armed support to the local indigenous people.
Vannius was not optimistic about this proposal at all, but he did not raise any objections. He only said that the three countries could first concentrate their troops at the junction of Aquitaine and Spain - if the local indigenous people were willing to resist Roman rule , the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces can naturally take advantage of the trend and move south; and if persuasion fails, the army will not rush forward rashly, consume food and pay, and drag themselves into a dangerous situation.
This thoughtful consideration was unanimously recognized by the Gauls.
After that, the three Gallic kings enthusiastically discussed the matter of marching into Spain.
As for Vannius, he took Conlinius and Luther to discuss the formation of the alliance navy - since war with Rome has begun, it is conceivable that the Mediterranean will also become one of the main battlefields, so a powerful A navy capable of confronting the Romans was essential.
The Britons had a large number of oarsmen, steersmen and sailors. The Massilians have good shipbuilding skills. Many Albisi men were also excellent sailors.
But the current problem is that there is no boat.
Therefore, this matter requires the joint efforts of everyone.
Corrinius promised to send not only troops and sailors, but also shipbuilding technicians.
The Albisci promised to provide a certain number of sailors.
The Massilians promised that they would repair the port and shipyard as soon as possible so that the fleet could be restored as soon as possible.
However, even so, it is not easy to form a fleet - in addition to building ships, assigning sailors, sailors, and helmsmen, it also includes a series of coordination, familiarity with the water climate, etc., which all require a lot of effort. long time.
To this end, Vanius decided to once again send out the engineering team led by Uncle Goodbye to install a protective wall at the port of Massilia City to protect the fleet under construction in the port.
It seems that this method of building floating embankments in the harbor was also taught to Vanius by Caesar - according to the records in the Civil War, the construction sequence of this floating embankments is as follows:
First, at the narrow pass of the port, a mud embankment was piled up on both sides, extending to the area where the water was relatively deep and it was impossible to build an mud embankment.
After that, two floating rafts were connected to the end of the earth embankment. Each of the four sides of the floating raft was "thirty feet" - however, considering the possibility of fighting on this floating embankment and the battle against the Romans, Ship, Vanius doesn't mind making this raft bigger.
Such floating rafts are placed one next to another, with the four corners of each raft fixed with anchors and connected together to block the entire port.
After that, another floating raft will be placed around this floating raft, and soil will be laid on such a wide long embankment to build an embankment to facilitate the defenders to move on it.
Finally, on the enemy side of the causeway, additional wooden fences, protective walls, and even high towers must be built to provide additional protection.
In addition, considering the fact that the fleet will eventually need to go to sea to fight, Vanius also designed an additional huge water gate on this causeway to allow large warships to enter and exit - and before the fleet was completed, this The water gate is obviously closed.
After arranging all these things, Vanius received two pieces of news at the same time.
The first news is that Bacchus has contacted the powerful people of Parthia for himself. Moreover, the Parthian nobleman is coming with his luxurious followers. He has landed in the Republic of Odessa and is coming with great interest to see the "epic magical adventure" highly recommended by Bacchus. what is going on.
According to the envoys sent by Bacchus in advance, the Parthian named Vardanes was a famous Parthian general who was wealthy, powerful, and extremely luxurious.
In Bacchus's secret letter, in addition to a detailed introduction to the general's origin, genealogy, power, status and personal hobbies, it was also mentioned that General Vardanes was a very good-looking person. He once sprinkled gold dust on the streets just to hear the citizens praise him - for this Parthian, his noble family background and important face were things more precious than gold.
In other words, Bacchus was secretly reminding Vanius: This is a big fat sheep, just slaughter it hard.
Therefore, Vanius also politely said that from now on, Bacchus can directly take 20% of the profits from all the guests introduced by Bacchus at the theme park. And as long as Bacchus does not do anything against the Germans, the Germanic Kingdom will always ensure that this profit belongs to Bacchus or the heir designated by Bacchus.
After getting this promise,The ambassador of Xx left happily.
In contrast, the other news was not so good - the envoys sent by Vannius to Rome were humiliated and expelled from the city after entering the city before they could even put forward Vannius's suggestions. .
In other words, despite the tragic defeat they had just experienced, neither Caesar nor the Romans had ever considered truce with the Germans.
After hearing the news, Vanius was not only not depressed, but also a little happy.
The great man said: It is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining brave men, but not to pretend to be an academic overlord. (To be continued)
