Ah, I like that.

Anyway, explanation. This invasion was led by the lords of sin. It's goal was to attack the Roman Empire head on and obliterate it completely. The army came out at that black dot. They immediately secured the area, and Rhodes traveled south, killing any who resisted. They decided to sail south across the Baltic and into mainland Europe. However they quickly found that nay ships attempting to go around the Island of Denmark were crushed and destroyed. (Most of it had been flooded, leaving a small island.) They quickly realized they would have to take the island from whomever was blocking their path. Now here's where it gets interesting, because this wasn't coincidence. One of the great Nature gods, Eostre had awakened when the seal was broken. She sent out a call to all newly awakened nature spirits willing to fight, and her army would confront Shal'vor's hordes on the island. Against all odds, they won. His hordes were forced back and the mainland was protected. But this was only a minor setback. The Lords of Sin retreated to lick their wounds, and began to subdue the Scandinavian peninsula. They gathered armies from the natives, until it had swelled beyond it's previous ranks. However they still could not risk heading across the straits, as it was controlled by the nature spirits. Instead they went east, through Russia, and then into mainland Europe. The rest is history. Btw, the red border is the Roman Empire prior to the breaking of the seal and the green is the new border, marked by Hadrian's wall. Also, Denmark was eventually retaken, and left as a smoldering wasteland.
