The Roman Empire is at it's peak. The army is strong and it looks like there is no one to slow down their conquest. The Empire was thriving, the people were happy, they just didn't know what was going to happen next.
Their ruler King David has died after stretching the Empire all the way to Egypt. He had died of old age and the prince was ready to take over for his father.
The new King, King Joshua, is ready to take over. He has made his three most trusted family members all generals in the military and leaders of certain provinces in the Empire. For one, King Joshua would be staying in Rome where he can live in luxury with his wife and command the army from a distance.
He had his cousin Justin in charge of Spain. His cousin Justin was a fierce fighter, he had led the army into many battles and only in one fight did they need backup. He was always very manipulative and would do anything in which he pleased.
His other cousin Billy had been stretched all the way to Egypt to rule their new province. He was the best defensive tactician the Roman Empire had. No armies could get past him or out think him. Billy is patient and let's the enemy show what they plan and then hits them on retaliation where it hurts. King Josh knew that was the best fit for his cousin.
And lastly, Prince Zac, he was sent to lead Greece. He was always very appreciative of his father but never thought his brother was the deserving king. He would always tell his wife that he deserved that spot, that he was more loyal than Josh ever was. Prince Zac never saw eye to eye with his brother and King Josh knew this. That's why Prince Zac had a short leash and was only sent to Greece that way King Josh would have an easier time with keeping tabs on him with his spies.
