Terry was a simple man, he farmed his shit reeking little plot outside Virunum. Then, every four days he would take his paltry stock and flog it outside the gates. It wasn't a pleasant, or particularly rewarding life, but it was dull. Dull means safe, and safe means alive, so all in all, not too bad.
Today though, seemed a little different. There were many more people than usual entering the city, some were sprinting, some were jogging along at as brisk a pace as they could manage. Had Terry not bean deaf he would have heard the screams of fleeing plebs. But he didn't, what he did see was the slowly moving forest of spears, beards and flags trudging towards the town.
**************************************************
Ivaylo Sviatislav has taken his great host into the Western Roman province of Noricum! The mounted warriors ride in troops of 100 men around the vast army, they forage and scout, bringing news on local towns and cities, moving enemy forces and potential camping grounds. The main host marches in three great columns, the vanguard is formed by the Scirian forces with the Sclavenes in the centre and the Heruli making up the rearguard.
The army will encamp in the plane outside Virunum where each man will light three fires in order to cause great consternation amongst the defenders.
The armies post reinforced sentries on four hour shifts with the nobles sleeping in their armour (in case of a swift Roman counter attack).
Come the morning a messenger is sent to Virunum to demand a meeting between the ruling military and civilian officials and the Sclavene leaders.
