Stalingrad(1/2)
The excellent weapons brought by "Baron" and his followers greatly increased the confidence of the Germanic people.
In such an era, especially in culture and technology, among the Germans who lag behind the Roman Empire in all aspects, any technology that leads them is enough to amaze them. Once you claim to be their friend, they will believe it with a simple proof.
Therefore, now the Germans have regarded "Baron" as their friend and respected the noble identity of "Baron" equivalent to the local consul.
They presented their best food and fine wine and arranged the best place for them to live.
Although the so-called best place to live is actually very simple, Wang Weiyi has already satisfied with this intention.

In his conversation with Anrugus, Wang Weiyi roughly knew some of the situation. In Caesar's second punitive attack on Germans, most of the Germans, Vandals, and Goth tribes were unwilling to surrender in front of the powerful Roman legions, and they always fought tenaciously and achieved several small victories. However, there was basically no connection between the tribes and tribes, and they fought alone, so the losses caused to the Roman legions were not great.
The greatest victory was achieved by Anrugus and his soldiers.
Just two days ago, the Germans attacked a Roman transportation team and killed more than fifty Romans, but the losses on their own were only a few people. This made the conceited Caesar furious and vowed to crucify all the Germans.
"Since Caesar wants to take revenge, why do you still look comfortable now?" Wang Weiyi was a little curious.
"There are two reasons, the noble Baron." Anrugus said: "The first reason is that the Germans have lived here for a long time. We are with fierce beasts every day. Our bodies instinctively have a sense of danger that the Romans cannot match. We will send many soldiers to investigate everywhere. Once the Romans appear and their troops are huge, we will retreat immediately. As long as the Romans are less than us, we will use the power of the entire tribe to surround them, and this will work every time...."
Wang Weiyi nodded. A tribe with all its troops is fighting on their "local" again, which is enough to give Caesar a headache.
"There is another very important reason that makes Caesar feel upset and does not put all his experiences on the battle..." Anrugus continued: "The woman Caesar's favorite is said to be beautiful, Nelia, who is even jealous of the moon in the sky, fell ill..."
"Wait." Wang Weiyi interrupted him: "Did you say Caesar brings a woman to the battle?"
"Ah, yes, Lord Baron." Anrugus said very surely: "This time, I don't know why Caesar took the woman to fight, and this was opposed by many of his subordinates, but Caesar told his subordinates, 'This is my decision. It is just a very pleasant trip to deal with the barbarians... Baron, I think you should know that no one can resist Caesar, and any decision he made must be firmly implemented. However, a few days ago, Nelia had a very strange disease, which made Caesar unable to fight at all.
Wang Weiyi probably got it.
Caesar took the woman to fight and stopped fighting when the woman was sick. It was not because of his absurdity, but because he did not take the "barbarian" to heart. Perhaps in his opinion, as long as Nelia's illness was cured, he could kill all the barbarians anytime and anywhere.
"When the world has become a mess before it is formed...."
Just as the two were discussing the issue, one of the Germans gathered by the bonfire to drink and eat meat, but suddenly it seemed that they began to chant there, and all the Germans became extremely solemn.
"Before the world was formed, the universe was in chaos, with only one bottomless abyss, Jin'en's Gate. To the north of Jin'en's Gate, there was a vast world of ice and snow. There was a thick fog shrouded in the icy and snow for thousands of years, with only endless cold and darkness. A huge spring rushed out from the deepest and darkest places in Nevlheim, carrying the ten thousand years of cold air in the ice and snow world, and rushed from north to south to the Jin'en's Gate. After tens of millions of years, many ice hills were slowly piled up next to Jin'en's Gate.
To the south of the gulf, there is a flame country called Mosbheim, where the sky flames are sprayed all year round, and the whole place is filled with extremely strong light and heat. The sky flames ejected from the gulf splashed out many hot Mars, falling on the ice mound piled up next to the gulf. The ice cubes melted into water vapor after encountering the high-hot Mars, and were frozen again by the strong cold wind blowing from Niverheim. The cycle was repeated like this. Over thousands of years, under the continuous action of the heat waves of the gulf and the cold air of the gulf, these ice mounds slowly gave birth to life, and the huge ice demon Imil was born.
After a long time, the god Odin and his younger brothers killed the Ice Demon and dismembered Imil's huge body. The gods filled Imil's body with the Jinen-gao gulf, and the world changed. Imil's muscles became the earth, bones became mountains, blood became rivers and seas, hair became plants and trees, teeth became rocks, and brain became white clouds.

"! It also attracted Wang Weiyi. He and Anrugus came to the bonfire and listened quietly to the old man's chanting.
This ancient Germanic myth seems to be a symbol of the suffering history of the Germanic nation, accumulating strength and arrogance, destruction and rebirth.
.
.
.
.
.
The meaning of "German" is "a daunting warrior", which is also the best description of them.
This is a nation that constantly migrates, constantly and harsh natural environment, ferocious beasts, and constantly fighting nations that want to kill their enemies. In their lives, fighting is all about them. They are never willing to put down their weapons unless they die.
Even the most powerful Roman legions could not make them bow their heads, but instead prompted them to decide to take root in the existing land and fight tenaciously with the Romans to the end.
If Rome was a terrifying lion, then all Germanic troops were a group of ferocious wolves, who would bite a few bites under the armpits of this lion from time to time.
Caesar could defeat them countless times, but he could never conquer them.
.
.
.
The Germans envied the lives of the Romans. They were glorious for becoming Roman knights. Even in the Roman legion, there were Germans who served them. But they never accepted enslavement - never!
Any force that attempts to enslave them will surely inspire their stronger resistance!
Wang Weiyi was listening carefully to the old man's chant, Elina and Leoni were listening carefully, and Richterhofen and Guo Yunfeng were also listening seriously.
.
.
.
.
.
In that low chant, they seemed to feel a kind of indomitableness and a surging power.
.
.
.
.
.
Caesar had no way to conquer such a nation!
"Rome is a lion, and you are a wolf..." When the last syllable fell, Wang Weiyi whispered: "The lions look like they cannot be defeated, but you are a group of wolves. You attack in the darkness, see when the lions are tired, and then bite them hard. If this continues, no matter how powerful the lion is, it will be covered in bruises by you...."
Anrugus' eyes lit up, he seemed to have understood something from the Baron's mouth
"Anrugus, do you know where Caesar's military camp is?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked.
"Ah, of course I know." Anrugus replied quickly.
Wang Weiyi smiled: "Manfred, tomorrow, are you going to have an adventure with me?"
"Of course." Richterhoven didn't even think about it: "Where to go?"
"Caesar's barracks."
When Wang Weiyi said this, Anrugus and Richterhoven were stunned. Then, Richterhoven cheered, as if they were going to have the most pleasant trip tomorrow. However, Anrugus's face changed drastically: "Master Baron, your courage shocked me, but it is not Caesar's military camp, he will kill you!"
"No, he won't." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "I will go in safely and come back safely. Maybe, I can see Caesar and his beloved woman."
Such an adventure seemed incredible to Anrugus, but for Wang Weiyi, it was nothing more than a small experience in his countless adventures.
Everyone was extremely awe of Caesar, whether it was Romans, Gauls, or Germans, but only Wang Weiyi and his companions were the exception.
Seeing that the Baron had made up his mind, Anrugus couldn't say anything more. But in his opinion, the Baron's actions were too reckless and too crazy. He definitely couldn't come back alive.

Wang Weiyi ignored his thoughts, and the whole day of running around made him feel tired. However, just as he was about to rest, but the butler Deppsey appeared in front of him with a pale complexion:
"Baron, do you think people can live here? God, although I was mentally prepared, the harsh conditions were far beyond my imagination. This was not the place where a noble person like the Baroness should live. And those foods, God, I really don't know how you can swallow it..."
Wang Weiyi had a headache: "My dear housekeeper Depsey, then what do you want?"
"I need a bed, and a clean quilt and pillow." Butler Deppsey made an incredible request: "Even so, I doubt whether there are fleas and unknown bugs here. Once the Baroness is bitten and causes skin damage, it is simply my sin...."
Butler Depsey was chattering and making these requests that were impossible to achieve here. Wang Weiyi's head was about to explode. Now he began to regret why he brought Butler Depsey.
"I don't have a bed, and even less clean quilts and pillows, my dear housekeeper Depsi." Wang Weiyi said patiently: "The Germans have contributed their best, and they have no way to provide them with more...."
"but......"
Just when the housekeeper Depsey was still trying to protest, Leonie had already arrived at him: "Button Depsey, I can adapt to this place.
If I can be with the Baron, I can adapt to any environment, what are you still worried about?”
The lady had already spoken like this. Even if there were ten thousand butlers of Deppsey who were unwilling to do so, they could only watch Leonie walk into their residence with the baron's hand.!
However, when Wang Weiyi and Leonie stepped into the simple residences that were temporarily built, the heart-wrenching cry of Butler Deppsey suddenly came from behind: "What, do you want to let Vidrio and I live together? No matter how long!"
"Hey, look, you're always so exaggerating." That was the voice of the housekeeper Vidlio: "The Germans have tried their best. Haven't you seen themselves still living in the wild? Do you want them to build a residence for you now?"
"No! I would rather lie on this damn ground like those savages than live with you!"
"Then whatever you want, Depsey Butler, I hope you won't get sick tomorrow, Good night, Depsey Butler."
The quarrel made Wang Weiyi and Leoni look at each other and smile.
