Elemundus led his forces down through Gepidia first liberating Porolissum then marched on towards Apulum. Gaius Porcius led his forces from Germisara to Apulum followed by the forces of Mundus, the blocking force numbering 18,000 men. Both forces met eachother at Apulum with both sides wanting to take advantage of the heights to the battlefield western edge. With the Limantei of Comes Rei Militarias Gaius Porcius achieving that goal. On the day of the battle both Porcius and Elemundus were seen to be exhorting there men to great deads. Both sides roared defiance the limantei beating there spears on there shields and the world was greeted with a deafening carcophony. Very shortly the sides were sent into complete silence when Elemundus launched his men into a full frontal assault. Gaius Porcius had in the previous days in preparation laid obstacles man traps, and small ankle breakers to slow and break up any advance that came towards him and as the allied contingent of Gepids and Lombards came on they fell foul to these obstacles, the limantei using the opportunity launched there spears then aired their iron in preparation for the bloody fight that was about to ensue.
After a short time Elemundus showed his hand and launched his heavy infantry at the left flank of the Limantei flying towards the limantei they didnt pay any heed to the men that were massing within the treeline as as they reached the line they were inturn attacked, although whoever was in command of the heavy of infantry was clearly a calm and collected warrior. All over the battelfield individual battles were being fought out and the fight descended into a bloody mud soaked display of warfare. On the horizon was seen the forces of the Dux of Moaesiae Superior who had been sent to aid Porcius and his men, Elemundus launched into a diatribe with his own command and sent orders ringing out all over the battlefield, sending in his final reserve he held the Limantei off to to allow his army to withdraw...
Mundus seeking his opportunity for vengence launched a last ditch attempt to get to Elemundus who had already ridden from the field in the direction of Porolissum. Finally the remaining forces of the Gepid and Lomabrdic force broke, the Dux of Moesiae is in persuit.
