The history of Gigargios.

The History of Gigargios New challenges and national war with Rome. -fragment

At the end of the VIII century BC Gigargios had 2 500 000 citizens, one of the first census. Covered the areas of the modern Gigargios, and the South coast, along with all Nigeriorg that has been inclusion. And areas around Lake Chad, which had been conquered along with the nomadic tribes, that settled these lands. Ends of all on the newly acquired Canary Islands, called-Kaugron. Also, at this age they began to communicate diplomatically with countries such as Egypt or Greece. The latter became an ally, due to its position and stability of diplomatic channels. But in the near future it will be the cause of the disaster. Gigargios accept guests from different countries and parts of the world, especially their mentioned allies Greeks. King of Gigargios guests of the rulers of Greece in his palace, who mainly arrive in hospitality, but sometimes in diplomatic matters, to develop long-term strategies.

In the 5th century BC, the Greeks stood to war with Persia, and Gigargios had join. This proved a big mistake!. They has already conquered an Egypt, creating from it their province. Also Gigargios was threatened. Then the ruler of the State: Egrion, set off his 65 000 army to Persia in 489 BC. Initially, Gigargios were winning in Western Egypt or the West Bank of the Nile. But in the eastern part the Persians already waiting for them. The Only connection was a stone bridge. After several days, having no other choice Gigargios rushed to attack. The fight was fierce, Gigargios have lost many soldiers, from a few to 10 thousand. Then they moved further through Egypt, Judea until Assyria. Just then was decisive battle near the coast Phenicia. Gigargios attacked diagonally in order to push the Persians to the sea, as is ilustrated here a → (I–/). But relief arrived unexpectedly for the Persians, the Cavalry, which attacked the slant from back for destroying entire army of Gigargios. Those who survived fled to the South. The King was killed during the fight and Gigargios lost the clash. In Gigargios a panic reigned, gathered the rest of the army, announced conscription and fortified of the cities, and even attempted to destroy the roads. It’s all the new King Tygrelion have made for maintain his State.  However, the Persians invaded Gigargios, destroying their army and occupying the North coast from Libya to Tunisia. As a result, the State has lost the most important city of Gigargios, the cradle of the entire State, which was a Norgod -capital Orgon province. It was for Gigargios the first Raid from the outside, which turned out to be yet the more severe situation than the conquest of the Nigeriorg in the 9th century BC. And it could have been worse. The conquest of the entire Gigargios. But fortunately, the Persians, even if they wanted, they were not able to conquer the whole Gigargios. Because they have suffered big losses occupying only part of the northern coast. They feared that if they attack the whole Gigargios, the loss would have been unacceptable. Behind of that, Gigargios was too big. At least in the size similar to Persia itself, which would not manage to maintain twice size bigger State. In addition, the Gigargios people were proud of their national consciousness and would not to give up. One more thing: the Persians scantily knew about Gigargios geography, (not to mention of history). Almost anything. So did not have noticed even what they conquered. A Norgod was just the city, one of the many. However in Gigargios  was terror. Dictatorship, severe restrictions on the freedom and civil rights. Another conscriptions and fortification of cities. Mainly capital a Gigargios, which was so heavily fortified that the State went into bankrupt by it. In the last issue, they lost their luminosity and for long not raised.

New Challanges

Around fourth century BC, Persia losing a war with Alexander the Macedonian, and began to back away from the North coast of Tunisia, where a new State of Carthage has proclaimed, which wanted to preserve sovereignty. Meanwhile, at. 333 BC Alexander the great defeated Darius of the great, and showing that he is a new power. Macedonia defeated Persie in Egypt, which for Gigargios means, that has a new power close to their gates!. King Gigargios Feuraug recovers the North Coast, but only the Western part and eastern Libya. Tunisia are under possession of the new state the Carthage. The King is outraged by the new State and its citizens, who turned away from the home State, which were part in a past. And now they have created a new culture. The citizens of Gigargios are similar disposition and as outraged as the King. And they demand the inclusion of Carthage, which still call Orgon. However, the Carthaginians itself, did not want to unite for a number of reasons. At  first: centuries of assimilation under the Persian rule, have made the new generation who already are not feeling Gigargios. Secondly, the years of terror and dictatorship, in their native state, amazed the Carthaginians, and many even escaped from there to them. Thirdly, the Carthaginians, did not want to be just a province, they had bigger ambition.

Thus, the Gigargios marched its troops to Carthage with a number of 50 000, consisting mainly from conscripts. It seemed that Carthage has no chance, but we found that’s not true. Have professional armies counted of 35 000 well trained and fluent warriors. Gigargios were poorly trained and led by the equally inept commanders. They with difficultly acquired territory of Carthage until they arrived before the Norgod, which they besieged. To the defenders have reached fresh support. Then at the evening they unexpectedly attacked Gigargios. They were totally surprised and massacred. But Gigargios does not give in, and they set off again, this time 39 000 with the King at the head. The played battles were severe. In one of them Gigargios surprise the Carthaginians beating them, what made that the fate of war turned into their side. But not for long. Later, the Carthage’s won a major battle on the road located near the Norgod. After the battle there was neither winners nor losers. So they began negotiations talks for peace. Agreed on something that was unthinkable. Carthage maintains sovereignty and keeping their possessions. But Gigargios, receives South Carthage, including Degnatorg. Over that they received so important for them Norgod city, along with not a big area located around, for about 40 km. It was one of the first recorded the exclave at them. However, citizens still have not accepted the new State and want that to be included to the rest of the country. Not a different opinion was King. But he is no longer able to do anything. Two failed campaigns, tens of thousands of people killed. It shows how Gigargios was weak, swayed. Has already lost the international positions, and in addition, a new power was rising. In the II century BC Rome was a power. During the Third Punic War, conquered Carthage, what disturbed the king. Gigargios again stood on the threshold of danger. This time, from the Rome side. The confrontation occurred, when the Romans began to besiege Norgod, not recognizing the exclave. After two months, Norgod fell along with its inhabitants. In the Gigargios reign fear. Again, they were on the verge of danger.

Over time, the Rome was coming up to Gigargios, conquering Carthage and the area of Spain. What made the Romans’s encircled of them. In the end they were attacked. The war lasted for two years. The Romans conquered the entire North Coast. Libya in the East to Morocco in the West. Along with cities such as: Troug, Lingwarg, Heliong, Ilmagari, Degnatorg and Korgond. Gigargos has become a laughing stock. Lost the second most important city of Korgond. They has lost its power. This time the King of Hantgur, did not tighten up of the law, as it happened in the days of the invasion of the Persians. Among other things, because he knew that some sort of revolution or rebellion could happen at any time. The position of the ruler, was shaken. Behind of that, there was no reason to do so. The King believed that if his Kingdom had not been crumbled at the time of the Persians, so why it could happen now?. Roman diplomacy came to The King, when he was at ambiguous situation, with his mistress. Began to talk. The Romans wanted to know, how the State was founded in the desert, and how they built great cities. Including that great capital of Gigargios, which is located in the middle of the desert?. The King replied that the people are his country, who are descendants of nomadic nation and transformed into a great State. After that, he told about the whole story of the state. Soon the Romans again attacked. This time they heading to capitol, conquering  the cities laid on their road. Such as: Gorinar, Weig, Weirongog. Then they reached the capital. Gigargios fortunately was heavily fortified, from the time of the Persian. But it was constantly modified. King Ajgarnd had 18-20 000 garrison. In front of him has become much more trained and equipped army with a number 40 000 soldiers. But this was not the end.

From the South-Gigargios were coming.  The new army, composed not from conscripts but a volunteers themselves, who wanted to defend their homeland. Collected 50 000 soldiers, who moved to the capital. The Romans after have learned of this, started to rush. Bombardments from catapults and other weapons, then they attacked. But the capital has not been conquered, and the southern army arrived in time to the capital. The Romans began to flee in panic, but Gigargios after capturing many, making them hostages. Gigargios won, but it’s not the end of the worries. Was still in danger. In addition, the economic crises and the fear of a sudden rebellion there reign. Which were making Kingdom weak. But the worst problem was that Gigargios have lost the northern part of the country. The fertile coastal regions, which provide food for the entire country. Besides, the relations with Rome were not too good, and they have taken Egypt, Greece and the other States. With whom the Kingdom remained once the commercial contacts. Imported from them the food, mainly the grain. When Rome conquered those States, the contacts were lost, which for Gigargios could be a catastrophe. First: Gigargios has lost the States with whom he traded. The second worse lost North coast. Without both of these points citizens were threatened by famine. The King knew that the hunger in his State, is the worst of scenery of which might happened to then. Had no choice. He had to ask his former enemy to offer trade contacts. Unfortunately,  the Romans refused the offer. The King did not have many options, nothing he could to do. So he decided to abdicate, immediately before the crisis. Therefore, after the abdication, on the stage appeared a new King name a Nigdor. He decided to reclaim the land. Meanwhile, in the Gigargios hunger was perceptible. The people are in rage. Therefore, the King decided to unload the atmosphere by propaganda speeches, saying that the Rome led them to that status. And that if they will not liberate the northern lands, Gigargios will fell. This type of speech have made Gigargos people at one moment started fanatically hate the Romans. Even more than before. The Government poured the olive into the fire, and told them they should hate. They blamed them for the all. The hunger, military failures, economic and political. Found the perfect scapegoat, and the people believed in it. Was not reason to be otherwise, especially that contained a grain of truth. Because the fact is that the Rome led them to the edge of collapse. Never before the people of Gigargios have not hated another society, than now. In the Gigargios hatred was prevail, and the Government was gaining on that, mobilization of the population to army. At that time, Gigargios had below 3 000 000 people and the army counted up to 60 thousand. Mobilised Additionally 100 000 from 1 250 000 of all men. The State took out large loans for armaments costs, mainly at the richer citizens, aristocracy and ordinary citizens by increasing the tax. Soon the army achieved to 160 000 soldiers and got posted around the Gorinar. Then crossed the boundaries, captured Degnatorg and reached the coast with the local villages. There they gained the food from local farmers and moved on, winning the Norgod, where they were divided into two armies. The first with 50 thousand had to move to the West part of the Coast, winning food from those areas and regaining a nearby cities. While the second army with the remaining 110 thousand soldiers were led by a good General Commander. The veteran who smashed the Roman army, during the previous war. This time, he had to move to the East part of the Coast and stop in the Eastern Cities such as: Kenlaid and Winarg. Where he has wait for the landing of Roman soldiers, or on further orders of the King, who moved to the West. Meanwhile, his army quickly pick up the nearby settlements, earning food supplies, which the Romans did not managed yet to take out. But the real obstacle army of the West, so-called owned by King, was reached to the city Lingwarg, which was well fortified and defended by a strong Roman garrison. The Army stopped and laid siege. The King has no many time, and he was impatient. So he attacked on the fifth day. Romans well defended themselves, inflicting big losses among Gigargios soldiers. And so the army won the city at the expense of large losses. After the conquest of Lingwarg, the King immediately continued march to the next cities predicting that soon even after a month, the Romans will come back here. Therefore, he wanted before to recovered the whole Gigargios in the possible shortest time, to prepare for this eventuality. The King’s army moved further into occupied Gigargios and take a Telpog town. The next step was to get ilmagiri, in which the whole armies of Rome were sent from nearby area. Even garrison from Korgond was sent, which was previously well defended. The King did not want another slaughter of his army. So he just walked away from Ilmagiri, remaining a small armies that had laid siege on the city. And the King finally arrived to already that time extremely important for Gigargios city of Krogond, thus showing symbolically throw off  the yoke of Rome on Gigargios. In Korgond people cheered from the arrival of the Gigargios. While completely different was still in the beleaguered Ilmagiri, in which its defenders did not want to give up. The King, after the liberation of the rest of the cities paid attention on  starvation people. The military offered to opponent to free residents from the city. Unfortunately,  the Romans, rejected the proposals, what made bigger anger in the soldiers. Soon the King gave the order. The army attacked the Ilmagiri, winning them without special losses. Army in rage on the Romans caused them real pogrom. By thrusting their bodies to pale, smoked alive, or stretched them throught bullocks. The hatred was not ending and a revenge freed all the demons. Meanwhile, in the East General Jagd quickly took the East Coast-not encountering any resistance. Now stationed around the group of cities such as: Minamen and Kenlaid and (standing idle). He did not receive any message from the King, so did not know what to do next?. And finally, when he stared on a map and saw Egypt controlled by Rome and thought that since he has such great army then why he have to wait idly for the movement of the enemy. So decided to go suddenly attack, and take away the new areas from the hands of Rome. That so he did, and its 110 thousand army of the East, moved by the old road built yet at the time of Gigargos glamor. The Romans  completely that  not expected. Suddenly everything started to fall on their heads. They were not such a powerful as they were seen. The series of defeats in Africa were felt in other part of the Republic. Romans chose a new Dictator, who had to take revenge on Gigargiosie and its King. However so far, nothing indicated that, and General without any problem took control over Giza, then capital of province Alexandria. Without any problem in one time General took possession over Egypt. It happen so fast that the King was unconscious and found out only after the fact. A bit annoyed monarch, but also rejoicing the conquest of new lands. But that was not a goal of general who must as soon as he can occupied that land, without waiting for the approval of the King. He don’t wanted that Egypt become one of many Gigargios province. He wanted that Egipt become liberated and independent. For a many reasons. First: the free Egypt was an another challenge for Rome. A second:  there would be created a State army, who would attend the resistance of Rome. Third Gigargios would with whom a trade, the fourth Gigargios in this war turned out to be this good, who wanted to liberate his neighbor from the tyranny and oppression. Finally, the fifth: it would shake of the Rome’s position in the world. The King disliked too much vision of independent Egypt. He was greedy and wanted new lands. But the General who currently rule over Egypt was thinking more strategically and this the State would have become a satellite of Gigargios. However, not everything went according to plan. Because the Egyptians, do not claim for independence. Moreover, feared of revenge from Roman legions on their nation. Therefore, General from the Liberator became the invader, which drew material benefits from the occupation of that country. They  stealing the grain and send to Gigargios. Moreover the Egyptians country was plundered with material goods. The Egyptians began like the Romans hate Gigargios, who showed that they are  occupiers too. Meanwhile General appointed himself on a temporary ruler of Egypt, changing it into a provinces. Hearing about this the King was outraged arbitrary appointment of the general as the lord these land. Meanwhile, the Romans gathered strength and planning where to the attack. The Gigargios command also do not know where they can attack. It came uncertain times. Whether Gigargios will keep its independence in this war, or retain its North Coast or Egypt will be in their hands. That no one knew, now it’s Romans movement. About their strength will depend on the fate of both nationalities. And finally, after six months, the Rome’s Army instead of landing on the Gigargios coast, unexpectedly arrived to Eastern Egypt. When General learned that on eastern border Roman army is approaching, began to collect armies and regrouping. He decided to defend himself, on the left side of the Nile River and destroy all bridges that connect both banks. In addition, destroyed or sent the boats on the right bank. From now on, no one had the right to pass from one side to the other. In the end, the Roman army met with Gigargios. Only River separated them. Beyond insultings they were not able to do anything. Both armies track their movements as if they were a mirror image. When one army moved south, the second was moving behind and vice versa. In particular, the commanders were the most annoyed. But this was not to last forever. Soon the Romans moved north, Gigargios did the same thing, went to the North. From Giza, galleons and other combat ships were waiting for Romans. When General noted these ships, discovered he was ambushed. In a hurry gave the order to retreat. 100 thousand began to flee, and enemy ships began to bombard them with catapults and other siege engines. The army moved few kilometers inland from the river. But, contrary to appearances, he knew what he was doing. Decided to confuse his enemy, who thought that he escaped. He knew their tactics. Wanted to use it. The General plan was this: he wanted to divide his armies and separated from the main force 10 thousand soldiers, who were in the circuit. The next day, Romans marched to Gigargios. Tactics was based on the initiative of the enemy, they had to attack. The Romans must felt confident and thought that they dominate in battle. Then the army have to withdraw, but it was a bit more complicated. General had to know when to withdraw. Not too soon, because too overdo. The Roman Commanders would suspect it was to easily. Not too late, not to lose the battle. The Roman army attacked. Gigargios defend themselves and the fight was balanced. But in the ranks of the Gigargios formed bulge. General, finally gave the order to withdraw. The army started go to the rear, and the Romans started Chase them. Then he gave the order reserve, to attack the Roman army from the flank. And so, the Romans were suddenly attacked. Then, the main army, returned to finish off the Romans. Gigargios won the battle and took into captivity, the remnants of the army of the great Rome. And the balance of the battle was that. They killed 30 000 of the 70 000 Romans at the expense of the 35 000 killed. Another 5000 were taken prisoner. The rest of 30 000 managed to escape, thanks to the grace of the General. This battle seriously shaken the Roman army, to the extent that changed the fate of the war. From this point on, Gigargios obtained the dignity, which lost for a long time. And now citizens began to believe in the victory. And when the King found out, he began enjoy like a child and has established that day to celebration-(but learned about it a few days after the battle. Therefore, he established the feast of that day, which he found out). However, too early to praise. The war continue: (not praise the day before sunset). And the Romans could still come back.

Therefore, the General set off his army from Egypt, to the rest of the Empire. To Judea, stopping at South of Jerusalem where been 30 thousand army. The General decided to meet with the Commander of the enemy army and offer him a truce. This one, however said that he does not have the power to be responsible for the entire State. He is just the military leader. The General said:  “Let you at least step off my way and get back to Jerusalem”. “Otherwise there will be no mercy. And let the ruler of Rome know, that we want peace”. The Commander listened and moved to Jerusalem. While the General stopped before the city but don’t siege it and waiting for a response. But not so that he might expect. General remarked on the horizon, that the Romans are coming. He was shocked but quickly organized himself, and prepared the soldiers to battle. The army quickly organized. In addition, the Romans set off from Jerusalem. General full hasted armies to the South. The Romans don’t chased them this time, what was beneficial for Gigargios and  gave the time for preparing and form the army. While the Romans combined  their strength with army from Jerusalem and headed to Gigargios. General was thinking of strategy against the Romans. Knew that the experience of the opponent will made them more careful. Which could be a disadvantage, but the General wanted to somehow use?. First of all decided not to attack first. So if the Romans came, then let them attack. When the Romans came to Gigargios, they turned and moved further to the South. This event was for the Romans an insult, as well as an opportunity to attack them in the back. But General Jagd knew what he was doing. He rode on horse, sat backward and was looking at the Roman armies from behind. And after when they charged he turned his armies in a jiffy. The Romans were not sure what to do. They were confused and lost their initiative. But the Roman general finally did not intend to continue play in games of Jagd and again ordered attacked Gigargios. General however was prepared for it, and only waited for this step, controlled whole situations. And as the Romans approached the appropriate distance, general turned his troops and marched armies to attack. The Romans were surprised by the sudden return of Gigargios troops. When it came to the battle, fight was aligned. But the initiative was took over by Jagd, who press his soldiers forward. Soon Gigargios puncture to forward, morale was very high, powered earlier successes. Why now they couldn’t to win. The Romans were uncertain of victory, morale was seriously weaken from earlier failures. Slowly Gigargios pressed on, until they had cut in half the Roman army. As for the Romans it was disastrous. Gigargios Army went to the rear of the enemy (through the middle of broken line) and attacked the Romans from behind. What made that both halves were encircled from two sides. The Romans could only run sideways, as far as they could and fled. Gigarigos, however, does not decided to let them free and they trying to close both rings, encircling the Romans who had not the slightest  chance to escape. Gigargios don’t intended to take prisoners as before and decided to smash out the trapped. This Act of bestiality, was not unusual at that time, (the Romans were doing similarly). But for the Romans it raised their fear. Another Gigargios  successful battle, made that not only the war was turning on their side, but also threatened Rome to direct attack. Gigargios captured Jerusalem and moved further north to Cappadocia. March Gigargios, stopped another Roman army. At the head of the Roman dictator, who offered Gigargios peace. In return, they can keep the North coast along with Egypt. But if they do not accept the terms of peace the war will continue persistent and they will landed on northern coasts of Gigargios. Until Gigargios not fall. The Romans insisted that the decision to be taken immediately. However, the General felt that he have not enough competence himself to decide so important for Gigargios decision without the knowledge of the King. But the Roman dictator insisted telling that the general and not another else might sign peace terms. General felt honored, and signed conditions of peace on the Egyptian papyrus. However, he feared the reaction of the King who could feel offended by this behavior. But the General did it first and foremost in thought for Gigargios and its future. And so in the year 68 BC at Ephesus was signed a peace treaty. Under which the Gigargios recover the North Coast, along with Egypt. However, they waived from  demand any more other lands. After that, the Gigargios is obliged to trade with Rome. That the overmentioned entity would receives the grain, in exchange for money or any other form of payment.      

Before the war, the Gigargios state was weak. The pushover in the international arena. They even would not feed their citizens.  Everything was changed after the war. Gigargios regained his power and accomplished what the other nations did not. They defeated the Rome that  felt the consequences of this war. They recovered of their lands. Gigargios from the indigent and internal disputes country, became powerful, so much that they regained more than honor. They threatened Rome itself and from that time was power balance. Gigargios was in Golden age.  In the state itself lived better, people became more prosperous and internal disputes disappeared. From that moment nobody questioned the position of the king  who  became even more powerful.  The monarch  Nigdor after winning the war with Rome  had only 25 years old. He was still very young.  Before him was whole life (in power). Moreover he had two years younger  wife who already had given him  three children. He was probably one of the most joyful of the Gigargios lords. Apart from Gigargos himself, who had performed what seem seemingly impossible. In the country propaganda suddenly weakened. The government had nothing to prove to the nation. Like their superiority over Rome. But in the citizens themselves, this consciousness has not disappeared and was instilled to children and future generations, creating the first prejudices and fanaticism. The king himself did not absorbed the propaganda, which he spreaded, and the Romans were indifferent to him. Only if they will not disturb to him. General Jagd has similar thought. He was too old to be caught up in the whirl of fanaticism. He was a healthy-minded sensible man who thought objectively. (Thanks to what he achieved so much). The aforementioned general Jagd after the war became a model for imitation for future generals (generations). He achieved more than any previous  general.  Non-obedient acted on his own, he was not dependent from the king, which was the reason for his successes. He always knew what he was doing. Above all he was patriot, working in the name of the state (in the name of the nation). That is why the king appointed him on the Military Commander of Gigargios. This position was not known before in Gigargios. Which meant that was reserved for the elite of elites among of the generals. Especially for Jagd. But he already was very old, and no one knows, how long he will yet live. Although he had a shot.

When Gigargiosis won the war, the abdicated king Hantgur watched this all closely and could not believed that his son would win the war with  Rome. And when it became a fact he started jealous his son, who achieved his father’s ambition. He regret that it just not happened to him. He started to live in the shadow his child and he not be able to reconciled with it. While Nigdor felt his father’s sorrow and what make him fears that somehow father would overthrow his in various ways, like take General Jagd to his side. So he decided to protect himself by keeping friendly relations with the mentioned general. It is true that the general spent his time with a retired king. But this was mainly due to similar age. Except that the General did not established closer contacts. Egypt before the war, was one among many provinces of the unconquerable Rome. During takeover by Gigargios, this lands  had the chance to regain independence. But the citizens of this nation did not used of the opportunity that General Jagd offered. That’s way this state became Gigargios province, which caused in this nation consternation. But general held Egypt with a strong hand, which made any riots impossible. During the departure of General Jagd, many collaborators or simply those who hated the Romans were mobilized and dragged into the Gigargasis army. There were 30,000 of them. That’s replaced those who were killed during the Battle of the Nile. Before the march, the general appointed his (assistant) on the governor of Egypt, with a fairly large garrison. The Egyptians did not accepted the Gigargios power. They thought that sooner or later, they would be defeated. But their face made sullen when they won the second battle. When Gigargios won the war, the Egyptians were even more vexed. There prevailed social unrest, but they did not dare to rebel, because the Gigargiosis ruled there hard fist. On the ruler of Egypt, the king appointed his brother because he lived with the siblings in harmony and wanted for them well, in the contrast to earlier kings. The brother of King Egdarion had also support of General Jagd who did not want to rule Egypt. He preferred to have peace of mind in his old age. However, the aforementioned brother was a strict ruler. He strongly held the power and did not allow any riots. The Egyptians hated him like whole Gigargios, whereas the mentioned profited from the occupation of Egypt. From this state they obtained a lot of grain, mainly from the areas on the Nile and sold it to Gigargios. Thanks to which they enriched at the Egypt expense. They imported from there large quantities of  papyrus, incense and other natural and processed goods, which were sold to Rome. In addition, the Egyptians themselves could not do anything. Gigargios’s army in this province was very numerous and the law strict, so they were powerless. Time, however, goes on and good times did not last forever. And in 56 BC Jagd, the great general of the Roman wars and national hero had gone. The state mourned him together with the king who knew he not find such a good general anymore. After the loss of such an important person, the Gigargiosis lost the shield that protected the state from outside. The Romans were happy that the so dangerous enemy died. They knew that the Gigargiosis were powerless without him. But the attack  on Gigargios was still a distant future. They themselves had a crisis inside of which the culprit was Julius Caesar. Soon, the Gigariosis took to care on themeselves and focused on what was needed. The king received from the general a fully modernized and modern army as equal to Rome, with war machines. The situation improved and the new generals appeared. The country was still growing, but it was soon to change.

After several dozen years, the Romans mobilized armies and fleet and prepared to attack. Gathered over 150,000 soldiers and relocated them in the south of the empire. The Romans also urged the Egyptians to resist the occupant. And after a long period of peace, the Romans attacked. Gigargiosis were totally surprising of landing in Tunisia. The invasion was unexpected, without any notice of war. The Romans quickly moved to the coastal cities like Norgod and occupied the arable land. The fresh on the throne King Kergoin was panicked. He do not knew what to do, he wasn’t learned how to act in such a situation But the Romans knew what they were doing, and they quickly took the whole north coast with the cities, but not all. Lintag besieged in Tripoli. The city was bravely defending against the overwhelming numbers of Romans. Similarly with the fort of Traug and Goner, lying in the same region. Gigargiosis were also in trouble in Egypt, where at any time could come into uprising. The ruler of the province, Irgon -son of Edgarion did not want to give Egypt. The king had a dilemma. Whether to leave that province and give to the enemy. Egypt was no longer so important from a strategic point of view. The Romans attacked Gigargios directly, so there will be no profit. Many soldiers were found there who were needed in Gigargios. Moreover, many of them would be lost if the rebellion comes. What would be very detrimental. Therefore King asked Irgon for a march to Gigargos. He was not going to leave. So the king called him to order. But he is still in his position and time goes on. No doubt it was disobedience, worthy of death for him in the worst times ever. By which the king sent a messenger to him who turned out to be a murderer. This was a general chosen by King Kergoin. When they arrived, he came to Igron to give him a message. When he reached him, he showed a knife and killed him. In the list talked about sentencing him to death, and pointed new commander, who was Kosydoig. Who took over the authority in Egypt. And assembled armies and sent to the West. Meantime in the country getting worse. The city of Linatg bent to the  collapse and Fort Traug soon had to surrender. The returning army of Kosydoig was threatened by an ambush on the part of Rome. If they took the only road from Gigargios to Egypt. However, the Romans did not reach that far yet, but were busy besieging forts. Recently the Romans began to besiege the city, such as Minamen or Kenlaid. Behind them the other cities in the region stood, such as: Kajlung, Trowog or Fort Wojog. The most important the city from all mentioned was Minamen. The city had connection with five roads in opposite ways each. One of them led to Egypt. Gigargios and the Romans knew the value of this. The garrison was well prepared and filled with soldiers. Brought there large amounts of food and water and the Troops was loyal and ready for devotion, in the name of their homeland. On the first day, the Romans occupied the (local) workshop’s that were behind the wall, which was very unfavorable for the Gigargios. Then they tried to attack the city, but their attack did not help. Only the Romans have lost many soldiers. Their general was furious about the stubborn of defenders. He threatened that all killed as when he conquer the city. Gigargios knows, so they were more persistent, which for the Romans presented a problem. They knew that the army from Egypt is coming quickly to the city. They didn’t had much time, they had to work as quickly as possible. But you know when a man comes in a hurry, the mistakes. In this case it is a perfect example. Three days later the Romans resumed their attacks, but that was poorly organized. Which caused them slaughtered in their ranks again. The attack itself would be successful, if not the persist the defenders, and even the civilians themselves, defending their homes. Minamen has become a symbol of resistance against ruthless invaders which was Rome. Fortunately,  the Gigargios arrived on time, when the city defended itself for a new Roman attack and they were not prepared for them. As soon as the Gigargios came to the Romans, while their army counted less from Rome because there were only 30 thousand, although they managed to defeat nearly 50,000 armies, which had been reduced to 41 thousand after previous attacks on the city. Moreover, soldiers from a city hurried to attack, which for the Romans confirmed a disaster and they began to withdraw. Rescued 32 thousand soldiers, while Gigargios seized the victory over the enemy. Unfortunately this was an isolated incident. The Romans did not lose afterwards, scored a large piece of Gigargios from the Marogog, Orgon to Northern Tripolitania. And with them the city: Heliong, Nargozon, Arrag, Gerdin, Warong, Weig, Herong, Gorinar, Degnatorg, Saugariz and Linatg. Still were resisted as cities like: Korgond, Igalan, Roneug, Wenstegg, Harpeg, Konigrag, Veirongog, Mrong, Kenlaid. These cities are blocking the road to all Gigargios. The loss of one of them can take the Romans to the rest of the Kingdom, and that would be a disaster! Unfortunately, very real. In many of these cities there were few garrisons, from a few hundred to a few thousand. In the best condition. Romans evenly distributed army, 14,500 on each around these cities and besiege them. The king knew that cities were not defended for long. Some of the most likely cases will be capture. So he had difficult decisions ahead, which cities saved or lost? Certainly, the most important ones. So he made this difficult decision to release several cities. And these were the Korgond, Igalan and Weirongog. Unfortunately he could not save anymore, because the more divided the army, the weaker it is. And that would be a worse option. Gigargios benefited from the fact that the Roman army was more divided and their generals too self-assured. That is why they gathered their forces to attack the Romans. The first goal has become Veirongog. When Gigargios came, the town was on the verge of disaster, and would be surrendered. The city was constantly bombarded with catapults, destroying the city and somehow the wall was still standing. In addition, the Romans were busy digging the underground tunnel, leading them under the wall and wanted destroying them from the bottom. Gigargios Army consisted of more than 30 thousand soldiers. Before them, much less exhausted army, was sieging. Gigargiosis without hesitation rushed forward. The momentum of the attack frightened the siegers and after a while they were surrounded. It seemed that there was no pity for these intruders and that they would be slaughtered. But the Gigargios’s were more wise and kept them alive, taking the prisoners of war. In other words, the negotiation card as the hostages. When the Romans discovered that unfavorable fact, were astonished. They were surprised that the Gigargios was still capable for such heroic deeds. This filed them of anger, That they yet resisting. And so they gave orders to attack all besieged cities. Unfortunately, Gigargios has regret that. Meanwhile, in Marogog, the Romans storm the Korgond again. Thank ladders, rushed to the walls. A violent collision took place. The defenders, would die sooner than give important city alive. This increases the scale of the clash. Fortunately for the defenders, and the habitants came to help. Army from east reached the city and attacked Roman soldiers. They defend themselves hard and do not pass Gigargiosis, to the besieged city. But they were destroyed. It was the same with the Romans on the wall, were also killed. Unfortunately this was not the end. There was a risk from the side of the Roman fleet, which was still near the city. Gigargiosis, tried to scare them by arrows with flame. It is true, however, that the closest ship was burned, but the rest of the warships still did not went far. What made the constant threat of their site. However Gigargiosis, decided to move a war machine to Korgond, obtained under Veirongog along with 10 thousand escorts. However, they did not reach the goal due to a prepared ambush by an enemy. Meanwhile, the Romans attacked all besieged cities. They at all costs want to take over all besieged cities, not care on the loss. The cold calculation began to bring fruit. The Romans bombing, digging underground tunnels under the walls or just storm the cities to get them. And this results weaker resistance for most of them due to long-term sieges. Moreover, at many of these cities appear hunger. Capitulations was the only choice and the takeover by Rome inevitable. There have lost such cities as Wenstegg, Harpeg, Mrong and Igalan. For a last one, was prepared  a release. But when army coming from Korgond reached Igalan, the city was already capitulated. They only missed a day and a half. They found the closed gate, but the real tragedy for Gigargios was noticed on the south from the city. Well, they saw the cruelty of the Romans in their own eyes. Was abandoned and burned a stack of bodies of unfortunate residents. Aroused a violent emotion, horror and hatred. Charge around 2,000 bodies that have started to rot. Moreover, the smell of burning bodies gave a unpleasant odor. Many felt that bad and vomited. That was not enough, around countless flies flew. When an event spread across the country, Gigargios were horrified. As if that wasn’t enough, rumors came to Gigargios that an escort who moved to Korgond was attacked by a Roman. The entire enemy army, after having won Igalan, moved out and started to prepare the ambush. Then this Gigargios came with what it ended with a similar slaughter. Gigargios had unexpectedly bad luck, in exchange the Romans were very lucky. Then the Gigargios army before Igalan was slightly unaware of their departure from the city thinking that the Romans are still in it. The risk of the Romans paid off. A series of setbacks, of which the General was partly blamed. Army commander Sensgor, to avoid the threat of execution (flip), decided to change the version of events for the king to let him know that the Romans divided armies for preparing ambushes against Gigargios, prior they conquered Igalan. And the city was captured just before the arrival of his troops. Not counted just two things. In the general’s version the escort was delayed for a few days. Has the Romans, could managed with two things,  in just short time. And the other is how the Romans were aware of escort?. Even in the true version of events was not explained. Apparently the Romans have learned from scouts, or the Gigargiosis must tell them. It was vague and it will be a secret?. When the king received the message, he suspected nothing. He must be busy with other things, or the simply trusted the General words, and perhaps not noticed of illogical?. But in addition from this, he had many problems. Th Romans from the conquered cities, move further south. This plague of ” locusts ” as they were called was unstoppable. The  threatened was much more than ever before. Gigargios, could not handle the enemy further territorial expansion. Apparently the Romans win this conflict. The king, only returned the army from under the famous Igalan, to the capital, which was now in danger. When the Romans conquered Mrong and took one by one cities like Laginor and Norgon, stood before them relatively young city of Mogidon. Rumors of recent Roman crimes had frightened the local population (and refugees). That can only compare with Berlin ’45, or even with the last days of the great Rome in 476 a.d. When Rome was besieged by the barbarian Goths. Anyway, there was dismay among the civilian population. The government did not know how to calm down, the king also scared the Romans themselves. His worst fear and (nightmare) was conquering the capital and the rest of the country. And along with these crimes, looting, murder and rape to end with the slaughter citizens of the capital. And catch him and the family and the murder of them in Gigargios, or after reaching the  Rome itself, where the Lions would eat alive in the arena. These nightmares appear more often when the Romans came closer and where the fears come true. The last hope before the arrival of the Romans to the Gigargios was in besieged Mogdion. The garrison of this small town did not have all 1000 soldiers. Clearly not enough against significant forces. To attack the capital of Romans grouped their units. 50,000 soldiers gathered. When the Gigargios garrison had 30 thousand. Unfortunately it was not possible to collect more. Given account that the rest of the army had been sent to the West to stay and defend so many cities, that sooner or later fall into Roman hands. The third army, was on the eastern borders in cities such as Minamen. Gigargios went much better there. The Romans had not attacked more and, moreover, had no units in that area. That’s why the king decided to relocate that 30 thousand army,  to the capital while there was still time yet. Meanwhile the Romans have taken the last city before the capital. The Mogdion, and then immediately strided to Gigargios. The fear reigned, they were all terrified. Gigargios city, was once before besieged. A similar situation happened several decades ago, when the Roman siege was a disaster for them. When the troops arrived from the south, under the command of the most famous General Jagd. Then a young commander, who became famous thanks to the remarkable good victory, managed to beaten besiegers. (By the way, he came from an aristocratic family from Nigeriorg). Unfortunately, he is no longer with them. He has raised the bar so high that the following generals believed that they would never reach it. Eventually the Romans arrived in the early morning to the capital, which fortunately has not changed and was still well fortified, like from the old times. However, the Romans had their ways to manage with it. They had a war machines. On the first day, the Romans surrounded city, began to prepare and dig underground tunnels or erected catapults.  But these machines only started bombarded on the second day. This time the Romans began to besiege slowly and carefully. They don’t know anything about Gigargios army, which are coming a for them. They have a time and use of this. Defenders on the other hand depend on time. They want the arrival of troops from the East, but it will take some time. They are far on 1500 kilometers. That is waiting for them for at least a month and a half. In the hope that by that time the capital will not be conquered. Fortunately, in the time food was collected, sufficient for a good three months. From a military point of view, Gigargios city was well prepared for long siege. Only if the Romans not began to hurry. Was a threat of a sudden attack that could change everything. For now, the Romans themselves start bombing day and night, without interruption. This causes great losses for the city. Over time some powerful strongholds are defecting slowly, and behind them the large building’s (figuratively and literally), changing into ruins. But the constant bombing has not broken will of the defendors. Still they are on their guard until to the end.  However the citizens struggle with too many obstacles. Although they still believe in the King and the hope of  the miraculous rescue, as it happened during the previous siege (by the same aggressor). Go by days, weeks and Romans  more and more bombing. In the meantime, they are heading further south. They got Roneug and were going to take Limpad and Pengair. However, these both cities are well defended by army, divided on two, for each. Both cities have a strong garrison and Romans have lost many soldiers reached 10 thousand loss in total. This is more than 30% of the started number. And when they reached both cities, they were tired and less numerous than the defenders, who had gathered up to 15,000 in each city. Both cities are in an important transport hub. Its importance depends on the continuation of their progress to the south, which blocks further expansions. Better for the  Gigargiosis, if they will upkeep  them. The Romans are starting to besiege Limpad. They want to grab these cities as quickly as possible, at the losing the smallest. Because of this, they focused to dig tunnels and in the evening they start to attack. When the Romans were going to the wall, defenders starting attacking by an arches. But they unstoppable go ahead and climb on the ladders and them came on the walls. Gigargiosis, still defend and is an impasse. Suddenly the Gigargios army comes out from the gates and then attacks an opponent who is completely surprised by the sudden attack. Gigargios easily changes the destiny of victory to their advantage and ultimately wins the fight. A successful skirmish is not an exceptional accident. Just like under Pengair. Unfortunately, these individual successes do not lead the war in favor of the Gigargios. The Romans have still put pressure on the South, on  coast side, by getting Enevaig. In addition, they have numerous reserves and their ships are still blocking hostile cities. Such as: Korgond, which recently was saved. Now there was the renewed threat. The army, which once kicked out the Romans, had to retreat to the capital. The city was alone. The Gigargios have long been dominated by the Romans, in terms of the overlords on the sea. There almost not encountered no resistance, from their site. Because Gigargios didn’t have a large fleet. Before the war they had only 40 old (warships), located in all of Gigargios ports. In the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. When they were attacked, the Romans destroyed the entire Mediterranean fleet of 30 ships. Survived 10 ships on the Atlantic Ocean. When the Romans conquered the entire coastal cities on the Mediterranean, the Gigagios lost the ability to rebuild the fleet in this region. Could only rely on cities along the Atlantic that were safe before the Roman conquests. They started building ships, most of which were built in the relatively new cities in Nigeriorg, which was the safest place in the entire state during the war. The commander of the navy was a man after forty, from an aristocratic family of Marogog, the Irgion. He decided to take the job properly. He has designed a new type of ship. The idea that became faster, at the same time with strong hardiness. It was called Gegnat. It was built only in Nigeriorg. Due that the province has most coastal towns. Moreover, it was of course the safest place. First 80 ships made after two months. This was more than the entire fleet before the war and were producing even more. In all coastline cities, the ports were enlarged or building from start. Most of those were modest, but during the war rapidly developed, and their performance increased. Thats enforced to employ the workers from the entire province. Industry and also was progressed in other areas.  Many of the workshop were built, in  which was produced on a huge scale of armors and weapons. And the machine’s of killing in larger sizes, such as catapults. This all happened in the south, where it is still relatively safe. Behind of it, the civilian population from the south was still mobilize to make new troops, rebuild armies and prepare for the final defense.
