Mikra Skythia

Summer

The governor dismisses a report that an unknown force has arrived in Mikra Skythia, from the north. A few days pass and a new report makes its way to the governor ,this one being urgent. A small army from the Sauromate camps outside the walls of Kallatis. With no general to lead them , the captain probably looking to make a few coin while the town has.

A meeting is held in the town square with elders entering an argument to surrender the town , for they claim any resistance would be met with severe penalty on the enemies part .Argument arises that the town does not have sufficient resources for defense nor will the new chief have funding to raise the siege in time .This leads to arguments for and against , with influence swaying the way of the elders due to their standing .

All is set for the town to surrender when a captain named Kloilos steps up. He is loyal to Oroles and fought to capture the town previously as captain of a Daoi unit . Kloilos goes against the elders decision and gathers the large towns forces outside the gate.


Kloilos's small forces consist of 80 Daoi , 200 Galatikoi ,and 300 skythian auxila foot archers .

The Sauromate force matches in size, they bring horses and arrows.


the skirmish starts with a pelting of arrows , both sides at a stand off.



while the arrows begin to run low , Kloilo charges under a hail of arrows with the Galatikoi , hoping to force them into melee . They take heavy losses on the way ,but they close the gap.

A feirce melee takes place as Kloilo becomes flanked by horsemen .. they fight on .



The hardened veterans are too much for the saruomate ,their captain falls in the midst of the battle . Foot archers brake in an instant , they begin to run but are cut down , only the horsemen escape.
