A sort-of sequel to my other Rome 2 short story, this one is based on part 8 of my Sparta Abridged campaign on the OfficiallyDevin channel (youtu.be/7Qclbz6jq1g). It had an interesting battle so I felt inspired to dramatise it.

Areus, having subdued Italy, now brings troops from all the cities together to invade the north.

Background music is from Ryse Son of Rome, Europa Universalis SPQR, And Rise of the Argonauts.
