The Roman Attack
Welcome back to Leonhartia!
Well, it was a landslide victory for the attack plan. Says a lot about you all, I think.
The ships were loaded...
...and sailed off to the barbarian tribe. (Yes, there are four.)
Here, the path is drawn in the bright red.
Within only a few hours of sailing, the land of the barbarians was sighted by the lead ship.
Soldiers were loaded onto rowboats. They then rowed to shore to begin the assualt.
Barbarian men ran to their boats, maybe to fight back before the Romans landed, maybe to escape. Whatever the case, their boats were burned before they could go anywhere.
Roman soldiers marched up the shore, setting fire to the trees, the huts, the fallen logs, and anything else they encountered. Small querrals with barbarians resulted in the death of only 4 Roman soldiers, while most, if not every, man of the barbarians was slaughted.
And what happened to the women and children? Any that tried to stop the Romans were killed, some others manged to flee deep into the forest, and any that remand were captured to be made into slaves back in Leonia.
The fire spread as the Romans finished off any survivors.
All that remained was the rubble and ask of burning wood.
Our Roman soldiers sailed home victorious, and were greeted with celebration. Our good govenor was especially enthusiastic over his first successful encounter with barbarians.
Some extra stuff of minor importance,
Before you go, feel free to check out the newly updated first post, now boasting a link to the new Table of Contents! (Forum version, that is)
Also, I'm always looking for new names for cities, so if you have any ideas of Roman/Italian sounding city names, feel free to share them! You might see your idea come to (simulated) life!
Until next time!
