Stilicho has been a similarly busy man to his adoptive nephew. Following his reconquest of Domavia, the heir to the throne decided that the Visigothic presence in Italy was becoming too much of a liability, and began moving to dispose of them. With swiftness and utmost discretion, the X legion sailed across the Adriatic to begin following the royal horde of Alaric. The XXII legion coordinated with Stilicho, crossing the alps to intercept the smaller Visigothic horde outside of Genua. When the time was right, the two legions struck almost as one. The horde around Genua was destroyed outright, with Publius Eutychianus benefitting from the assistance of the town's garrison. Stilicho had a harder fight, with Alaric's army surviving their first defeat and fleeing southwards into Calabria. Soon enough, however, they joined their brothers in death.
Stilicho had little time to celebrate, however, as his absence from Dalmatia had allowed yet another rebellion to gather strength in Domavia. Fortunately, a quick voyage from Tarentum was able to get him to the town in time to prevent its conquest and destroy the rebels. Now he faces a new threat, however, in the form of a Hunnic horde crossing the Dalmatian border. (2/4)
Gonna shower before the other two parts.
