The Origins of The Kingdom of Smeg

[Ianofsmeg16]

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....
