Roman Artillery engineers

North Hoofton Village

The leader of the engineer corp rides on his horse as his group's horses drag ballista's and its ammunition to the city. Some empty carts and engineers heading off to the forest to cut down some trees to bring wood for siege equipment to the main army. But he must deliver the ballistas and mangronels first. So that perhaps they can knock down the gate before they have a need for the siege towers. He looks around, seeing the legion left behind to build a bridge put the finishing touches on the simple yet sturdy looking bridge. It being ready for his corp to cross over with their artillery.

"The bridge is ready sir! Should be ten times as stable as that other bridge the locals had." A Legionnaire states, wiping his brow as he sweats.

"Thank you soldier, Help the Carpenters chop down some trees and bring them to the siege camp. Just in case we need siege towers." The Head engineer states. Having his horse continue trotting along over the bridge.

The group continue towards the forward siege camp, Which by the time they arrive, is beginning to be constructed. The outer ditch already dug out and the legionnaires have started construction of the walls already. The engineers ride inside, as the head engineer gets off his horse and heads towards the generals tent. Walking inside to see the general drawaing battle plans with his legates.

"Siege equipment has arrived sir, And i have half my men across the river gathering wood in case of the need for siege towers."

"Good good, Have the men set up the equipment to begin bombardment of the walls and gatehouse. You remembered to bring the movable sheilds correct?"

"Yes sir, all the equpment is in the wagons. I wont make that mistake again sir."

"Good, Have your men help with the construction of the camp."

Roman Fortress

News spread fast throughout the fort, with every legionnaire, auxiliary, and others rushing outside and atop the walls to view the spectical that is the fourth cavalry legion riding around on giant living wooden wolves. With about half the cavalrymen riding them around, jumping over horses and each other as they appear to be having a good ol time. Meanwhile a certain master of horse is buys.

"Horse master you've got to see this!" A Stable hand yells out as he peeks into the master of horse's room. Spotting him downing a bottle of wine. "Uh sir are you ok?"

"Yes, Go tell the fourth cav that their crazy." He proceeds to take another swig of the bottle as the stable hand slowly leaves.

Meanwhile with the cavalry

"So the plan is to go back into the forest, find more of these and 'tame' them?" The centurion of the sixth legion states towards the fourth cavalry captain.

"Indeed, if my hunch is correct, killing the alpha will cement whomever killed it as the new alpha or something like that. And thus once we begin feeding them they will see this as mutually benificial."

"You give the animals too much credit."

"Were in a land of talking small horses, who knows these wolves might be as smart as them, we just might not be able to understand them."

"You have a point there captain.. Still i think this is a dangerous plan. Wolves are naturally predators. Though if what you told me about them having a 'compost' diet then their technically not carnivores."

"Trust me Centurion, I know wolves, I am a gaul after all." The captain states as he smiles, riding away on his wolf. "Though tell the leather-workers to make some saddles for these thing. The wooden backs will be killing us by the time we get back!" He yells out as his group of horse and wolf riders rush off into the woods, a few of the cavalrymen falling off the saddleless wolves but the wolves seem to stop and wait for them to get back on before rushing off to join the others.

"Well their either geniuses or dead, either way its not our problem for hte next hour. Somebody take one of the wolves they left to the leatherworkers to get measurements out. If they are gonna be used for cavalry then might as well get them saddles."
