[Ongoing] The Hellespontine War

[Pericles of Athens]

Victory in Beroa

Alcimachus grinned as the King was thrown before him, he'd cut many men down in battle today.. both he and this savage, in another life they might have been friends. The young Thessilian was happy for the first time in ages, the taste of blood on his lips was sweet and fresh, peace didn't suit him.. nor did waiting for a battle. Put him in chains, we shall march south and have Lysimachus decide his fate. He turned to look over the battlefield, thousands of enemy dead.. hundreds of Greeks and allied Thracians, though thankfully more wounded on their side than dead. The screams of the dead and dying echoed in the background, mouns of those passing into Hades, and the sound of Thracian head hunters sending them to the afterlife and brutalizing the bodies. Achillios ventured to link with his young cousin, the old man's helmet dented by a Thracian javelin. His thoughts were sad, as he took stock of the carnage. They brought this on themselves.. He mused inwardly. This blood is on their hands.

The Siege of Abydos

Cassander orders the besieging army to invest the city by constructing both circumvallation and contravallation walls. The walls will be composed of trenches in front of a palisade and earthen wall. The distance surrounding Abydos is approximately two miles. Additionally, both light and heavy siege engines will be constructed.
