Caesar's Plan to Stop the German Invasion

Caesar sent envoys ahead asking for a meeting, but the German king would have none of it. With each passing day stories passed through the ranks about the Germans took on a life of their own. The average foot soldier was convinced that Caesar was marching them to face 15-foot-hall cannibals who breathed fire and used black magic to curse their enemies. As he closed the final miles between his legions and Eryovistus' massive German army,. Caesar built a fortified camp and was surprised to discover that suddenly the Germans were ready to talk. It was obvious that the Romans were being baited, but Caesar refused to bite.
