Answer 1

The Huns attacked more than seventy cities throughout the empire

Answer 2

The correct answer is - The Huns attacked more than seventy cities throughout the empire.

The Huns were a nomadic warrior like confederation of tribes that migrated towards Europe from the steppes of Central Asia. Ever since their arrival they were a constant threat to the Roman Empire, though initially it was only at the borderlines. When Attila came to power, and united the Huns, than the really big troubles started for the Romans.

Attila was a great military tactician, and also a very brutal one. Instead of attacking the borderline places, he started attacking places deep into the Roman territory, robbing everything, and burning the places to the ground. As the time passed he was aiming and cities that were very important, and every attack was hitting the Romans very hard, both economically and in militaristic way.

The Huns managed to attack and destroy over seventy cities in the Roman territory, and that marked the beginning of the end for the empire.
