Blood and Gore, Violence

 

The European nations were not in the least prepared for the invasion from the east which was to go down in history as the "Storm of the Huns". Up to this day it is still not known exactly why the nomadic horseback nation left their homeland in the Asiatic steppes and advanced deeply into European territory. The indigenous barbarian nations there were not able to match the unknown wildness of the foreign invaders. The fear and terror which the gruesome Hun warriors spread was so great that entire nations were fleeing within a very short time: the peak of the European migration of nations had been reached.
Even the Roman empire couldn't stop the warring nomads from the east– on the contrary! All of a sudden, one had to deal with the difficulty manageable barbarian nations who – on the run themselves – invaded the provinces of the rich, robbing and plundering.
The Huns thus managed to subject the whole of Europe to fear and terror in less than just a few decades. When the mounted nation also produced a mighty leader and warrior named Attila, who knew how to harness the unbounded wildness of the tribes and to steer it in an ordered fashion, the fate of the continent seemed sealed...
