Bab 122: Mostly Peaceful Negotiations Part I

An appropriate amount of time had passed for the meeting between the western roman emperor, and eastern roman regent had taken place. Currently, Marcellus sat on horseback, as his army of 1,000 Palatini cavalrymen stood by his side. These men were not only experienced lancers but also trained in the art of horse archery. 

These members of the Palace guard were a special unit of heavy cavalry that Marcellus had fostered since his rise to power. With the sole purpose of protecting their Imperator. In the distance, the eastern roman palatini could be seen marching on foot, while their swarthy regent sat proudly upon his steed with a smug smile on his face.
