Chapter 570: Plunder and Growth
As the tide of the mythological era receded, weak gods and even some natural demigods had to fall into slumber, and only powerful gods could continue to maintain their status.

The Hun Empire also believed in gods, but they believed in the Shamanism of all spirits. They believed in various natural spirits.

But after the end of the mythological era, they also fell into decline and slumber.

The Hun Empire was the choice made by these all-spirited beliefs, and they also wanted to rely on a large number of beliefs to maintain it. However, the Hun Empire also failed.

The situation of the All-Spirit Shamanism was much better than that of the Roman gods. The Hun Empire was powerful and conquered a large population, which allowed the All-Spirit Shamanism to spread.

However, the Hun Empire was only a flash in the pan in history and soon fell. In history, the belief in all spirits has never disappeared, and it has risen again several times later. It's a pity that the belief in all spirits is too scattered and lacks stamina.

However, the Faith of All Spirits would cause some trouble every few hundred years.

The Xianbei people, Turks, Mongols and other peoples that came later all once flourished.

This time Attila suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Chalons, but not many elite Huns were killed in the battle. After all, the Huns were all cavalry with strong mobility on the battlefield, and they could retreat quickly even if they were defeated.

The heavy losses came from the vassal armies of the Hun Empire.

Therefore, after the defeat, Attila did not give up the idea of ​​attacking Rome. At the same time, he also noticed that there were problems within the Roman Empire.

The conflict between Aetius and Valentinian III became increasingly serious.

In the past, Valentinian III was young, cowardly, and hedonistic, so the power of the country fell into the hands of Aetius. Although Aetius was arrogant and domineering, he was still loyal to the empire.

With his current prestige, if Aetius wanted to usurp the throne and become the Roman emperor, he would not have to do it himself as the Praetorian Guards would do it for him.

What kind of person is the Roman emperor?
During the most chaotic years of the empire, how many emperors were replaced in three years?
What about the Roman emperor? What about the law of succession of the Praetorian Guard?
Aetius' prestige was at its peak. As long as he was willing, not only the Imperial Guards, but even the Senate would agree to let him become emperor.

Unfortunately, Aetius did not have this idea.

But the problem is that you have come this far, just like sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. If Aetius becomes the emperor of the empire, then the confrontation between the emperor and the protector will end.

Unfortunately, Aetius did not take this step, he was indeed loyal to the empire.

For an emperor, no emperor would tolerate the fact that the generals of the empire have the power to abolish him at any time, even if the emperor is cowardly and greedy for enjoyment.

In the past, Valentinian III could still tolerate it, after all, he was still young at that time, but with the support of Richard, Valentinian III felt more confident.

In fact, he didn't know that Richard's so-called support was nothing but flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

But Valentinian III, who dreamed of gaining military support, believed it. So he began to carefully test it.

Hunnic Empire.

Attila retreated to the area near what would later become Hungary, which had become an important base of the Hun Empire since it was captured by the Huns.

This failure did not defeat Attila. It was not that he had never experienced failure before. Although the Hun Empire failed several times during its rise, they eventually defeated their former enemies and enslaved them.

While Attila allowed his army to rest, he also drew troops from other places to make up for the losses this time. At the same time, he was also planning how to launch another attack on the Roman Empire. Although Aelius defeated Attila and the Roman Empire seemed to have reached its peak, this prosperity was only superficial. In fact, the essence of the Roman Empire remained unchanged.

The nobles continued to live in peace and prosperity, while the lower-class people continued to have no food or clothing.

More importantly, the conflict between the emperor and the protector of the empire became more serious, which gave him a good opportunity. Attila planned to attack the Roman Empire again after replenishing the army and restoring its strength.

And this time he did not plan to go through the Gaul region, but instead planned to cross the Alps and go straight to the heart of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome.

After the last war, Attila had seen Rome's strengths and weaknesses clearly. Now Rome completely relied on foreign legions for protection. Most of these foreign legions were guarding the empire's borders, and there were not many troops guarding the empire inside.

This was a good opportunity for Attila. He could cross the Alps and march straight into the heart of the Roman Empire.

The most difficult step in the entire plan is to cross the Alps. As the highest and largest mountain range in Europe, the Alps are a natural barrier that protects Italy.

As for attacking by sea, haha, the Huns' navy is a complete joke.

So the only option is to cross the Alps.

Crossing the Alps was not an easy task, he needed to find some guides to lead the way, and at the same time he had to avoid being noticed by the Roman Empire as much as possible.

Just as Attila was thinking about how to take revenge, Richard, far away in the province of Gaul, also began to plunder the Germanic barbarians.

Several castles have been built in the northern area near the Germanic barbarians, and beacon towers have been built in more distant places. Richard has also sent troops to garrison there.

The completion of the construction of these fortresses directly locked the Rhine Corridor. If the Germanic barbarians wanted to go south to plunder Gaul, they had to pull out these nails. Otherwise, the road would be easily cut off.

The number of people Richard sent to plunder the Germanic tribes was not large. It was a small team of one or two hundred people led by his knights.

With these knights leading the way, the Germanic tribes were unstoppable. Each of them was a top-level warrior, equipped with armor and weapons, and equipped with war horses, each of them was a bulldozer on the battlefield.

What's more, their current mission is to launch sneak attacks and looting, and those Germanic tribes are even more unstoppable.

Under the leadership of these knights, these Germanic tribes soon suffered a devastating disaster.

The knights, who were already familiar with the terrain, took advantage of the Germans' unpreparedness to launch sneak attacks, and one small tribe after another was directly defeated by them.

These knights were not keen on fighting, and after defeating a tribe, they immediately returned to the Rhine Territory with the looted supplies and people.

The grain was stored, some of the cattle and horses were kept in enclosures, and some were distributed as rewards. The women were directly distributed to the soldiers who followed the looting, and were distributed in order from top to bottom, and only distributed to the outside after everyone had been distributed.

The men were sent directly to mine and build city walls.
