Battle of the Isles​

Ballista, victor at the Battle of Pevensey, decided to finish the Saxons as quickly as he could and he faced an army under command from Adorno, the lord of that province. Ballista launched an amphibous assault on the Isle of Wight where the Saxon forces took shelter. Ballista's assult was a failure, costing many Roman lives, but the Saxons lost many men as well. The Battle was a Costly Enemy Victory for the King of Regia, Marcus Clodius Ballista.

RESULT

-Ballista retreats and makes camp at Pevensey
-Ballista writes a letter to the Byzantine Emperor, requesting a legion of men to march to Britannia
-Adorno keeps his lands, for now...
