Alright time for the next update.
As the fall of 402 AD settles upon Europe, Sextus Perennis and the VI legion sail home in the aftermath of a bold raid. Two winters prior, the legion had been poised to strike northwards and put an end to the threat of the savage Picts in Teusis, but Sextus was forced to head southwards again due to most dire news. The Franks, having built up a fearsome army once more, took advantage of the general's absence from Britannia's south and attacked Camulodunum once more. Fortunately, the city had been reinforced since its last experience weathering barbarian assault, and the garrison was able to beat back the marauding horde. Sextus was incensed by the persistence of the barbarians, and decided that the Franks must be brought to heel if Britain is to stand. The VI legion spent most of 401 jockeying for positioning against the Franks and the resurgent Angles, who it seemed had concurred with the Franks in wanting to assault Britain again. When the opportunity came, Sextus sailed across the channel with utmost speed to strike at the Frankish capital of Flevum. In a daring naval assault, the sizable garrison of the town was drawn out and torn apart primarily by the valor of Sextus's artillery and celtic skirmisher mercenaries. The Frankish chiefs were made to submit to the Roman yoke, and the VI Legion has now begun their return voyage. in spite of their courage, this expedition has worn down the Legion significantly, and Sextus is well aware that some rest in friendly walls is in order. The general's primary concern is that the Angles may not allow him or his men any time to relax, as their army still stalks the seas. The legion remains just out of their range for now, but only time will tell if another invasion of Britain must be repelled, and whether they will arrive in time to do so. (1/4)
