The great Hunnic hordes burst through the meagre defences of the Illyrian frontier and begin ravaging the countryside. They capture slaves and take what loot they can, living off the land. Whenever they can find a respectable looking captive, they clean him up and send him off with a message for the emperor of Constantinople.
"We are the Huns, and we are here for our tribute. We demand 6,000 Aurei. Until this is received, we shall sustain ourselves on your fields, and avenge ourselves on your people. These being the words of Uldin, Khan of the Huns."
Hunnic Horde:
29,000 Huns (Onogurs and Utigurs)
5,000 Alans
10,000 Goths
20,000 Slavs

The Huns will be paid to leave immediately.

The Huns happily rifle through the chests of treasure, before immediately packing up and heading home. The Huns inform the Romans that they desire the same amount of treasure next year, which should be provided before 413 A.D. is up or the Huns will be back.

A thousand Aurei of tribute is returned to the Emperor at Constantinople together with personal messengers from the Hun. The word is that the Huns are keeping the Romans sweet, and also use the opportunity to announce that Uldin now accepts captured Slavs as a form of tribute alongside gold.
