The year 254
2 years after the Heroic stand of Vircussius troops at Skull Bridge, another Roman army threatened Gallic borders. Vircussius forces weary of the comming danger. They were alert everywhere they went. Until they met the Roman soldiers at Skull Bridge. From the 3697 men that accompanied Vircussius in his mission to protect the borders, still 3233 were left.
the Romans brought a army that contained 2920 men. The were the pride of Rome.
'This battle is inevetable. But we will win this battle, and walk to victory on a road paved with Roman skulls,' Vircussius said to his soldiers.
Again the Roman hastatii, pricipes and triarii ran towards the bridge, strorming to a unpleasant death at the point of Gallic steal. As Vircussius forces were lined up in the half square formation, the roman soldiers had to split up. The Gallic soldiers charged the Romans under the suportive chant of the druids. Vircussius orders his noble cavalry to make a headlong charge into the fight. This overwhelming force made some Romans run and crying for their Matrona. But suddenly Virsuccius stands right in front of the Roman Heir, a fight erupts fed by hate for each others nation and love for their own. But the brave Remulus (can't remember his name) couldn't beat the 21 year old war veteran Vircussius, and was slain. Even before his corpse git the ground his army turn and run. Virsuccius released the dogs to pursuit the remaining routing romans.
'I told you, my friends and soldiers, that our road to victory would be paved with Roman skulls. Now here, is your prize, the Roman faction heir dead and slain. I think his family will pay us lots of gold for his body. With that money i can buy you wine, wimen, and might,' Vircussius said after the battle.
in this battle we lost 259 brave brothers, we'll never forget them and give them proper funerals. Now come men, and help me dump these 2260 Roman bodies in the river.
