The year 280
After a time of war, looting and slaughter, peace was finally declared. For more than 50 our people, have been in war with the People of Rome and their greed expansion drift. I the great King of all Gallic Tribes, have fought my whole live trying to beat those Romans. But all this blood-shed is not worth it. So i had to cast my pride aside and ask for peace. That you my children, can now live in peace and harmony with nature.
-The last words of the King-
The year 270
Exactly 10 years after my father died, our relation with the romans, is heated again. In order to deny a two-front, I have to give up Venetia and Mediolanium. This hurts me more then any of you, my beloved generals and sons, but this i my duty and only option. You all don't know the terror of a real war, because my father and I made sure that our people could live in peace and wealth.
After the abandon of those cities the gallic tribes had only 6 years to live in peace. In the winter of 264, war broke out with the People of Britanny.
But a ceacefire was quickly arranged and peace was back again. Atleast that was the people thought. In summer of 258 war broke out with the Roman People.
Vircussius the Son of Thoretix was made First Commander of the eastern front. He rushed to the bridge that linked Cisalpine Gaul with Transalpine Gaul, and set up a chokepoint. His father send him with the best gallic warriors availeble at the time. 3697 fierce warriors were willing to give their live for Vircussius.
After the mobilisation of the Roman Armies they finally met at the bridge.
the Romans, that had according to our spy reports, 2914 men. They charged over the bridge and met the best warband in the whole army, all these men came from Alesia and where the Elite. After holding of the Roman army for a long time the Warband routed and lured the enemy in Vircussius trap. These men scattered on the battlefield were pursiuted by impetous romans, not weary of the taunting barbarians. Vircussius ordered his infantry, wardogs and cavalry into a routhless charge surrounding the enemy and forcing them to flee an drown in the river. The battle was over, some dogs pursuited the last romans of the field, while Vircussius men were celebrating their Heroic Victory.
At the end of this battle, 310 brave Gallic soldiers layed dead on the battlefield, but that was only a tiny spot compared to the 2471 dead Roman bodies that layed around and in the river. Vircussius told his men that nobody will never forget their Heroic stand at Skull Bridge.
