Brennus looked over the growing town of Entremont, which stretched from the eastern wheat filled grasslands to the slopes of the Celtian Highlands to the West. The Celtian Nation was a fragile but growing civilization, which stretched from the frigid Amorica Peninsula to the south to the fertile north region of Belgica. Between Celtia, the original homeland of the Celts and Belgica lied the Great Plains of Cisalpina, where mammoth beast with large tusk roamed freely. North of Belgica lied the Dutch, who we happily traded cerimonial burial for bronze working. This new weaponry will be invaluable if our nothern neighbors ever decide to turn against us. There was, but one other town that rivaled Entremont and that was Lugdunum, a strategic port which provided easy access between the western and eastern sea. It also proved a chokepoint between Amorica and Celtia Regions. Brennus could only smile as he wondered what power this land and his people would bring upon the earth in the future.

By 70 A.D. Celtia had become just as Brennus dreamed. A great and powerful nation. Entremont was the home of the Great Library, making Celtia one of the most advanced nations in the known world. The port city of Lugdunum was bustling with more buisness as the intense light of the Great Lighthouse brought in firendly merchant ships and also allowed celtian galleys easy acess across the unforgiving seas. In Agustodurum layed the Mausoleum of Mausollos, adding to the already beeming culture of Celtia. The glory of Celtia was clear to the world, but not enough for Brennus. He decided to invade the Dutch from Belgica with his superior gallic swordsmen and heavy cavalry which were just sent from the Great God Jupitar. The Plan would be simple...drive across the Rhine River, invade the well fortified hill town of Hauge and then drive on to Amsterdam. This war could have only one outcome, the victory of the Celtian Nation and the total submition of King William.

General Armiticus pulled back on his sword, the red liquid, called blood pouring from the pathetic spearman below. His body fell to the ground with a thud and in moments Armiticus had pulled his horse into another direction ready to find another target for his longsword. There was a pause and then a loud "swooooosh", before a Dutch archer fell the ground, headless. Armiticus with a smug grin advanced forward, a line of swordsmen following behind him, which seemed like on endless wall of rage to the remenants of the Dutch army out in the open field. King William, who was usually at the head of his army could be seen fleeing from his once mighty capitol of Amsterdam, which was now burning on the east end. Armiticus tried to persue William, but two swordsmen were keeping him busy. The clang of iron against iron drowned out the sound of the roaring fire, now completly engulfing the city.

Armiticus broke free with the help of his personal guards and galloped toward the town, his regiment of cavalry coming from the southern woods to meet him. The Sword regiment was busy killing off the surviving and injured while the calvalry enterted the city killing everyone within the town they could find, except women and children. Armiticus raced through the city, slashing down the local resistance with ease. His mind was still on the King however, but by this time he knew the coward William had made his way out of the area and was preparing to cross the Maas River where he would be safe in the Northern Spice Jungles. Armiticus halted his horse and then whipped around, smoke and ash falling apon his shoulders like the snow of his home in Amorica. The General sighed and galloped toward his camp outside the city, where he would write a letter, informing Brennus of his new territory. The war would end in 230 B.C. after a few skirmishes, the Celtian gaining the Dutch cities of Amsterdam, Arnhem, The Hauge, Holward, and the Island of Delft

Actually, I wasn't replying because I had a headache. Still do, in fact. Dun expect instant replies, really, because they're pretty rare. I know from experience -- two failed stories which had to get to about part 4 or 5 before any replies came. ^^;

Anyway, enough about that. I think it's good -- the writing is better than my own in my two [failed] stories. Good luck, by the way. ^^
