Even if they lost, they would just retreat to the mountains, but as long as they seized enough resources, the tribe could better survive the winter.
They thought quite optimistically, but for the common people of the Empire, this would be hell.
The Barbarian Tribes need to get through the winter, but don't they also need to get through the winter?
Not to mention, these Barbarian Tribes have no sense of morality; who talks about morality after robbery?
It's not just about looting grain; people are also targets of the Barbarian Tribes' plunder. The term "burning, killing, and looting" covers it, and slaughter inevitably accompanies plundering.
Scraping by in the fields, after being squeezed by the Church, bureaucrats, and the landlords, there's not much left, having worked the whole year just to rest for a few days.
Eating bread and singing songs, suddenly! The Barbarian Tribes came.
