Quintus Sejanus arrives in Valentia late in the evening, he had been riding all night from Narbo. He had met with Arminius Terentius the morning before. A tribe call the Helvetii have been on the move now for quite sometime. having beseiged the city of Morginnum among others, Quintus expected that they would not stop in Morginnum that they would continue the conquest until they have enough nubers to ovewhelm us. Quintus had sent his fastest rider to Valentia as soon as he heard of the attacks. He informed the rider that Legio XI was now under his command and that they were to moblize the force and await his arrival.
Quintus dimounted his horse and strode into the courtyard where his tribnues had gathered. "Are the men ready to move?" asked Quintus.
"They are wait for you just outside the city gates, Legate Quintus." Said Marcus Tullius Cicero the most senior of the tribunes.
"Very good, we must leave for Vienna immediately, Its is most urgent that we move in haste."
Quintus Orders the Legio XI to force march to Vienna. Offense mode: Probe. Scouts are to ride ten miles out North, Northeast in order to locate the Helvetii clan. They are to gather information on the size of the force also the number of cavalry they have if any. Once they are located our cavalry will split up evenly. One half staying behind with the XI and the other half are to ride ahead and engage the enemy. They will attempt raids on the enemy creating disorder among their ranks and hopefully halting their advance toward Viennna. Once we come within attack range of the enemy the Legio XI will go from Offense mode: Probe to Offense mode: Attack. The already attacking cavalry will reform into ranks and the Legio XI will attempt an attack from the enemies flank (since they are heading West and we are heading North it will be their southern flank). The formation into battle will be Spearhead (in which the majority of troops are amassed in the center led by the cavalry).This is meant to break the force at the center dividing them at the center, creating more disorder. Then the lower parts of the formation are to sweep outward in hopes of driving them even further apart.
These are the Orders of Quintus Sejanus Aelius as stands. They are subject to change if new information of the enemy comes into light.
Note to Arbiter: Please advise that I need to know what the scouts report. That information is crucial to my advancement.
