Chương 126: Responding to Agression on the Eastern Border

Marcellus returned home to Rome, and the moment he stepped through the doors to his villa, Placidia and Sigefrida were there to greet him. Marcellus could tell by the look on the Suebi beauty's face that something had happened during his absence.

Marcellus entered the war room, where he noticed Sigefrida was visibly distressed. Before he could ask what just had occurred, Sigefrida pointed to the map. Her finger hovered over the Diocese of Illyricum, which she was quick to inform Marcellus of the recent events that transpired in the region.
