Chapter One: Barbarian Bargains.
Night falls in the woods of the northern tribes... A hooded man riding a horse rides into a tribe. He dismounts and walks towards the head tent, of which said tent is lavishly decorated with furs. The gruff guards block his way, he looks at the men. the man opens the hood and the men see who he is, they quickly remove themselves from his way.
He opens the flap and walks into the tent, a big man sitting to the side looks up and addresses him. "Ah you have arrived, your message said you had.. Something to offer?" "I bring nothing apon my person, It is what i COULD do for you." Replied the hooded man. The barbarian shifted his weight gruffly and mumbled, he asked what this man wanted for his services. "1000 gold, currently in the treasury of Strageath" The barbarian sat upward fast and straight as a board. He was clearly not previously aware of such valuables. "I see. I assume you have come with a way to get us, (pause) Inside?" was the chiefs reluctant answer. "Oh i intend for you to do much more then get inside, I intend for strageath to be turned into ruins" the barbarian looked at him like he had lost his mind. "FOOL! Not with 300 men could we defeat them."
The hooded man thought for a moment, then laughed. "Ah... But there is a total twice in this area." "Why would they group with us? We have tried before" "Your men get along fine. Its the leaders that dont, you squabble over trifles. Then some of you break off, by the time you reach the gates there is none left" "And that is why we only send small raid partys. They are to strong for a head on assault" The hooded man then gave him such a look of power, he leaned down to the leader of the tribe and said. "This is the easy part, i will go to the other chiefs, and tell them that the person to be leader is me. And i shall cut off the head and put on a spike, any who dares leave. Therefore i will have beaten them in ritual combat and claimed their tribe. So eliminating the need of your squabbles"
At this the hooded man started laughing maniacally. When he was done he walked back outside, got back up on his horse and rode towards the next camp. the chief said for all the tribe to get ready, "We have a long ways to go in the next fortnight"
Centurion Clonetrooper stood eyeing the woods, Someone behind him that came unheard said. "Something wrong clone?" came the voice of centurion yummyicecream. "Maybe there is, I would feel better if we had more then a single century currently guarding the fort" he replied. "You worry to much, Awesome mini dead and warrior, will be back in 5 days. Construction of the new fort goes well, i hear it will be completed very soon" "Well the sooner the better, the barbarians around, they are getting more angry with our presence. And this land holds no strategic value anymore. Reports say something is moving around in the woods, we can expect another raiding party any time now"
Yummyicecream looked up over the battlement, on which they stood. And looked to the woods. After a pause he said, "Yes, its prime weather, they like the fog and the rain for attacking. They might be attacking any time now, but common, its a low time of year, there couldn't be over... 20-30 of them at most, but i will recall the guard, from the ruins and mill back to the fort in prep. Their moral must be low, we can probably just sit, and wait until they just leave" Clone had been staring into the woods the whole conversation.
There was a man on a horse riding towards them, a little to quickly coming from the woods. "Who is that man riding like the wind towards us?" said clone. Yummyice looked at the man coming, "Hes one of our scouts, sent him out this morning" They then heard yelling from the direction of the approaching scout, after listening for a second, they heard "THEY ARE COMING! HUNDREDS OF THEM! RECALL THE MEN TO THE FORT! HURRY!" clone and yummy exchanged quick glances to check if they had heard that right. Then dashed off the parapet, and clone called the emergency horn while yummy, ran down to the men at the barracks and got armour, for him and clone while telling the men to get going and ordering archers and horses to get ready. They had a very long battle to attend.
So what did you guys think? leave comments below if your in X legion. If your not i dont really care what you say. |

Chapter Two: The Seige
The barbarians came crashing out of the northern woods. The last of the X legion troops ran inside the fort. ppiipp had come out among the men and was giving orders. Smorg led a squad of men with chargers to the gate. The plan was to hit the enemy with a crushing charge, then high tail it back to the fort as fast as possible. The five retentus were riding the other horses. As for the optios, they were behind their centurions. The tesserari, had taken positions among the three groups of soldiers. at each gate there was 6 miles, and 3 Legios with shields. and a decanus that bears that particular groups flag. The north gate had 4 legios. For extra block. And the three evocati had bows and were standing on the parapets of the forward wall, waiting to open fire.
The barbarians were approaching the fort, ppiipp gave the other to charge, the main gate was opened and smorg, and his 5 other mounted retentus roared out of the gate on horseback tearing up turf in their charge at the barbs. The barbarian horde broke up like ants against the charge, arrows started flicking past the chargers heads, from both directions. Suddenly one of the arrows pierced akilly in the chest. He looked at it blankly and saw the blood run down from it onto the saddle, then he sliped off the horse and rolled into the ditch. Smorg looked from akillys horse *which was still charging* back to the enemy. The barbarians had begun to panic. They broke right and came out of the enemy lines, they had just past the mill when a raider jumped out of the hay, he jumped directly infront of the lead horses path. He threw a spear right through ninjacos horse, which promptly collapsed, and sent ninjac sprawling across the ground, smorgs horse went past the raider and a swipe from smorgs sword left the raiders head rolling across the ground. ninjaco started running back to the fort. and the horses were half-way back to the fort when the raiders got there, smorg headed the horses back towards east gate, then the raiders coming from the fields cut them off. Trapped. They were stuck between two lines and more were coming on.
ppiipp saw that they were trapped, and raised the order to advance. The north gate opened and as two of the evocati fired down on those in the ditch the legios crashed into the enemy lines and threw them back across the bridge. shrekgeorge was hit in the shoulder and had stumbled off to the barracks to pull out the arrow and wrap the wound. Sgtlucas took a spear to the guts and fell back, miles started to pour through the open spot and push back the raiders. Smorgs calverly then broke into the enemy side, and started hacking its way up to the new X legion line. 2 miles were dead and another legio had fallen back. ppiipp saw a ram incoming from west and he had the east gate open to allow soldiers to keep men off their flanks. Then the west gate opened and the troop moved out to attack the ram. Smorgs calvary was almost back inside. ninja had snuck up behind the enemys at east gate and powered back inside. Friztzys horse bounded 2 barbs and ran past the legios, meepos horse was stabed by three spears and fell down. meepo rolled in the ditch and jumped inside the gate, smorg couldn't get past the enemys in front, another miles went down and the raiders crashed into legio scarysub, knocking him down and breaking two ribs, the line crumbled. scary crawled back in the gate and smorgs horse made a leap at the gate. It didn't make it and went down sending smorg half way across the bridge, he was winded but jumped at the gate and crashed into a miles, then the gate came down on two barbarians.
Smorg turned around as everyone got up and started to bandage wounds. Shrek had come back, smorg was looking up at piper on the parapet, piper was staring at him. Smorg suddenly realized pipers face was compleatly pale. Then smorg looked behind him, and quickly realized why and why he was winded, there was an ax deep in his left shoulder. He stared at it and grew dizzy, then colapsed apon the ground. Vannarz rushed over looked and checked his pulse. He was dead. He gave a shake of his head to ppiipp, and returned to his post. ppiipp stared grimly off into the hordes of barbs. There must still be over 500 of them attacking, the ram was down and 3 more miles and football were dead. West gate closed and ppiipp said to clone that we could flank them through the east gate, sending yummy to the west gate to command there, and keeping deadfighter on the north gate. ppiipp and clone were approaching the east gate when a single shot came down from the ridge on the right and stuck into miles standing next to ppiipp. The shot was meant for him. ppiipp looked up at the shooter who was reloading and yelled for the men to kill the hooded man on the ridge. Then 20 men jumped down from the ridge and hit the legionnaires on the wall full blow. Clone sent a arrow flying at the hooded one but the strange man leapt like a tiger off the cliff and ran behind the stable to the building. Clone tore after him.
ppiipp saw clone run after the hooded man, a raider jumped down and swung a club within 3 feet of ppiipp. He drew his sword and knocked the raiders club out of his hand then smote him in a blow to the chest. The legionnaires were pushing back the raiders. Yummyicecream on the far wall started to notice that all the raiders were shuffling to the other side of the fort. Suddenly he understood, and, calling to all the men told to them to get to the other gate as fast as they could run. Then he saw the hooded man running inside the main building with clone hot in his heels. Yummy jumped after clone and they chased this man to the treasury below. Meanwhile. ppiipp had almost the raiders back but they seemed to be holding a certain spot. Which was very very much unlike disorganized barbarians. Then, out from the ridge, another cloaked figure appeared. It jumped down and parried friendlyfireninjas sword, and then stabbed him and threw him off the barricade. The barbs made sure that the legionnaires couldn't stop him. When he reached the end of the line of them he burst through and killed 2 miles then opened the east gate. The legionnaires couldn't get to him and had another problem on their hands. deadfighters men were suddenly fighting a battle with the raiders coming around the corner while yummys and clones men were attacking the dozens of raiders pouring in and attacking from the east gate. ppiipp and his men fought hard and long against the advancing units. While inside, the cloaked figure had turned and attacked yummy and clone. He battled like 4 men and yummy got caught on an inside blow, knocking yummys sword out of his hand and kicking him into a wall. The cloaked one brought his knee up into clones chest and then breaking his arm against the opposite wall to which yummy was kicked, he stabbed clone through the chest, turned around and grabbed a heavy looking chest on the ground and dragged the 200 pound chest across the floor as fast as he could. 3 large barbarians met him in the hall and while fighting off Xflame and a miles while yummy attacked them from behind. Tore out through the lines and escaped with this heavy chest, Yummy watched them go. Who were these cloaked men? Where did they come from, Who sent them?
Yummy returned to the main battle where this other cloaked figure had broken through and opened the northern gates. deadfighters men were falling back off the wall. The death tole had gotten longer. vannarz was impaled with a spear when the north gate opened. hunter6252 was killed by the second hooded man while defending the northern gates flank from the east gate raiders flanking attack. Epicsimpleton fell on the east gate in the breakdown. bone cojach and tekki were all wounded. There was only 7 miles left. And around 450 barbarians. The battle raged all around yummy as he fought his way around north gate in an attempt to make them fall back, the hooded one engaged dead in a duel, deadfighter was a good SFer but the hooded one was stronger, he stabbed dead through the hip and knocked him down, yummy and cojach ran to his aid, yummy fought back the cloaked figure along with cojachs help. They took dead into the barrack which was guarded, they rushed back out onto the battlefield. They had almost secured north gate when they saw a charge of horses coming up to the gate piper and lordofdragon started to pick off the riders with their arrows, but 3 were still going to make it. Yummy and cojach and another miles were pinned in their direct path tekki threw a spear and got one on the bridge, another one was sliced off by blackcat who was on the wall, the last horse and rider were 10 feet from trampling yummyice and cojach who still couldn't defeat the attackers assaulting them when ppiipp saw them, he jumped up and grabed the horses bridle turning it off the road sending the rider flying over the small group of men, the horse collapsed on ppiipp and when they moved the horse off him, they found that riders club has crushed his rib cage entirely. He was dead in 3 minutes.
Battle ensued for 7 grueling hours. They managed to close the north gate as the barbarians started to drop out. At the time of ppiipps death there was only 400 raiders, when they went down to 300, over 50 soldiers broke off and fled. after they contained the breach on east gate 100 raiders attacked west gate with a ram, it broke through and caused massive damage the raiders wandered the fort in vain to attempt to capture it completely. Most of them broke off and only 150 men Minus the 50 who fled, went home alive. At this point, the X legion troops had only 2 miles left and they were guarding he wounded in the barracks. Xlegionbuilder, Xflame and raidersraw all died in the attack on west gate. ninjac in his wounded state returned to battle and died of his extensive wounds after the battle ended. However they did find akilly lieing in a ditch after. He was unconscious and must have been taken for dead by the barbarians. The arrow shot was deep but didn't pierce any major organs. Blackcat had died in the effort of closing the north gate, he was shot twice with arrows and axed over the head by a raider right after closing it. Deltaalpha was the last to die on the east gate, they pushed one last time and drove them out and he was the only casualty. It may seem unreal that 50 men drove out 600, But in reality all the legionnaires were armoured and equipped, with horses armour swords shields. These legionnaires were trained as well. The barbarians that attacked them were to old, and too young, unarmored, untrained and unfed, they were both sickly and lame. Many didn't even have the will to attack the romans. Most barely had any clothing much less armour. Half of them fought with rocks and big sticks. So its not really unreal that they were driven back. The death count of them on the east gate numbered in 200. On the west gate its 150. on the north gate a total of 200. On the fields it was 50. There are only 20 soldiers still alive. 8 of which are critically injured. Yummyicecream is currently in command. |

Much longer then the first chapter. The first one was a prelude. Third chapter should be shorter but better. In the third chapter they will be tracking these men who stole the chest. And we find out what was in the chest. |
