Fight at the Rivers (Resolved using AOE Online)

In response to Lord Draken’s pirate invasion, the Empire mobilize three armies, the Celts, the Egyptians and the Persians, to assist the frontier colonists in dealing with the threat. A fourth army comprising of Greeks was also prepared as a reserve.

 

In the second week of the invasion, scouts reported that a fleet of Norse pirates are trying to bypass the frontier defences by sailing along the northern rivers. Upon receiving the news, the Celts were dispatched to deal with this threat.

 

The Celts quickly identify the location of the enemy base camp and got to work. A small force made a crossing to the Norse side of the river and began to form a bridgehead. Fortifications and watch towers were raised and by the time the Norse pirates realised this, it was already too late. A Celtic camp has been firmly established and Celtic spearmen and swordsmen were quickly dispatched to destroy the pirates’ docks and stores. Pirate foraging parties were also destroyed. The pirates did attempt to retaliate by attacking the fortifications but the Celts were too numerous. Eventually the Celts manage to destroy the pirate base after a few attempts to storm the latter’s camp. A small Celtic fleet was also mustered to destroy what’s left of the pirate fleet in the area.  

 

It is a quick victory to the Empire.
