Battle of Wolfwater

Sometimes called the Battle of Hubris, Primus I, newly crowned Emperor of the newly formed Gerran Empire, quite possibly represented the most powerful human to ever exist with territory stretching from Aeternia to the river Eisbach in Valtiere. Finally secure in his new Empire, he sets his eye south on the biggest prize, one that will surely propel him to a form of Godhood, Reirgaror. What Primus does not know and would be his undoing is that the Clan is in the middle of their contract with New Haven and have spent the last century fighting all many of mutated and daemonic entities in the west and in 344AD, they just rotated the Legions, leaving the hardened and experienced Clansmen on the island when the Gerrans attacked.
Hoping to quickly overwhelm their enemy with their numbers they march before all their baggage and supplies have been disembarked and on the 4th of September they arrive at the village of Wolfwater with Great General Cassius Zeno had their head and find some 15,000 men ready to defend it. An hour into the assault, Zeno is killed and a rout is triggered in the confusion that followed.
Almost the entire invading force was cut down in what represented the greatest military defeat for the Gerran Empire until Titus II lost 100,000 men marching against the dwarves in 834AD.
