Judea and Legions

The Ships had sailed past Hispania and through the rough straights with only two ships out of twelve lost, and most of the men were saved from those two ships. Many still resented the migration, even as they passed Crete and towards Egypt, a Roman Land.
They trained for the inevitable fight against Rome, the old warband style of warfare was gone, replaced by Graeco-Roman ways. Our Soldiers, called Smeg Legions, were armed with a long spear (About 6ft) and a square type shield used by Rome. For armour, most wore leather and chain mail, but one Legion, Ian's own, was armoured with expensive Scale mail, hundreds of little scales that protected from any spear thrust.

The Legions Landed on a beach in Judea and best of all, a deserted beach and the march wasn't that bad either, until they got to Jerusalem.
Beserker! had calmed down now, he was still an awesome warrior but he had gained some civility and class, Ian was the same as always, generous and happy but annoyed that a battle hadn't happened yet. Atlantis, now leading his Atlantean Mercenaries (he had come only as a captain, now he was a General), was sombre, probably missing his home, where he was still heir to the throne, Dutch Guy was happy to be on the march and he had found a girl (obviously) in a village near Tyre that welcomed us, in more ways than one

. Martinus, ever Calculating his strategy for battle against the Romans, was irratable and moody for he was having trouble figuring out a way to defeat the legions of Rome.
On the March, in burning sun, the Smegs trained. Discipline was introduced, producing soldiers that could stand against anything.
Then the romans appeared....

The Battle against Rome

A legion lined up on a long ridge overlooking some good farmland, it formed in three lines. The First and second line was made up of 5 cohorts each the third line was made up of auxillia from Judea and Egypt. On The Flanks cavalry from spain and Gaul eyed the enemy's army while Archers from Syria tested their bowstrings. All of them looked up and stared, for another legion faced them.

The Smegs outnumbered the Romans with cavalry and infantry, but still the Romans were more disciplined still despite the hours of training, Martinus needed to figure out a way to eliminate that threat, and the threat of the roman legionaries, he planned his battle like this. In the centre would be three lines of five cohorts each, commanded by King Malcolm a trustworthy Caledonian who came with the Smegs for some wild adventure, and they were told to aim straight for the Roman infantry lines, keeping formation as they go. On the left Flank Beserker! commanded a small ambush force that would move in parallel to the main lines and ambush them from behind, aiming for the General. Meanwhile Ian of Smeg's Legion were all mounted from good horses that were gifts from towns in Judea, these were to flank the romans from the right side. Lastly, Atlantis commanded his mercenary Atlanteans, all the Archers and a special anti-cavalry Phalanx unit from Bartix.

Yet the Smegs were caught by surprise, the Romans marched foreward before they had a chance to sya their prayers to the Smeg Gods, men hurried towards their positions and Ian's legion were the first away, settling down in a forest that the Romans were sure to pass by. They came relentlessly, the faceless legionaires marching toward the smeg line, only thinking about what lay beyond it. When the two lines crashed the Smegs were pushed back to just outside their camp and they were losing men fast, Beserkers ambush group charged and got to the enemy general but the first cohort encircled him and the ambushers never reached their target.
"Where the hell is Ian and Dutch guy with the Cavalry?" Screamed Martinus to Malcolm during the fighting. He had no answer.

Suddenly a horn sounded, a horn that sent many people into a fit of tears, for they knew the fight was won. Huge men on huge horses wearing the best armour the tribe could afford, shining men that seemed to be sent from the Gods to save the Smeg legion. The Armour glinted in the desert sunlight and the crashing hooves sent the Romans down into the dark world of absolute terror. But it wasnt just Ian's Legion, a banner of a lght bulb was seen, the two then five and soon a whole army had appeared, sent from Bartix to help their allies, and then Ian of Smeg's own Cavalry mixed with the 3rd Bartixian Heavies crashed home. Instantly routing all who got in their way.

Sorry for the wait guys! hope you enjoyed this
