Invicta Legio: Part 2

Artemis ran her fingers up the shaft of the arrow which laid in her bow. In the distance the glint of metal slowly rose over the horizon. The sun was gradually setting and the light glowed increasingly dim. Lamps along roads to the city became the main avenue of sight. Soldiers within the city erected barricades and defenses against the oncoming force. Artemis’ righthand man, Dacian, ran up the steps to her position on the wall. His plate armor, which was light yet very strong, could be heard as he moved. “I and the rest of the scouts estimate a force of 250,000.” Dacian said as he gripped the hilt of his sword. “They won’t last, not long.” Artemis replied. “A force that size? They aren’t mindless rebels and mercenaries. They are trained soldiers. Almost as deadly as ours.” “I wasn’t talking about them.” She responded. A brief silence ensued. “A week, do you think they’ve reached home by now?” Dacian inquired speaking of the ambassador and the crew. “Unless they drowned in sea, certainly. The Consul will come with his legion. Liam will come through.” “You know the Consul?” “Years ago, I was in school with him, that’s all.” “Let’s hope you’re right.” ——————————————————————— The Consul was gathering his legion for the journey to Mare. He convocated his Lieutenants and Captains to plan for the assault. They met around a large table as he dictated his plan. “Our legion of 100,000 will be split. I will lead an incursion force of 2,500 through the southwest port. I would have larger but I want it to be discrete. Hopefully Artemis will predict our arrival and remove any guards that might spot us. As our force lands, we will move North to take the Western Coast. The guard of Mare will most likely be holed up at the keep, we have to break through the enemy’s line once the Legion has landed. After we take the keep, we take the city. Any questions?” The officers understood and went to make final preparations. The Consul was the most well trained soldier in the entire Bellator Army, not only in combat, but in tactics as well. He was first in, last out. The Senate was prepared to begin an election amongst the populace should the Consul perish. Varius, the head of the Preatorian Guard, walked up to him. “Sounds like a foolproof plan Liam.” “God willing Varius, is the guard ready?” “Yes sir, we leave with you.” “Good, departure is in 2 hours, I will see you then.” Varius saluted and left the hall. Liam knew however that war is something few can prepare for entirely. Venku: Varius ManOfLight: Lucius ImmaDrizit: Dacian Formless Nate: Narius Artemis: I don’t know, can you guess?
