Civilization RP

[Rayleonarde]

When the Iron Giant got closer, a hunter shot an arrow at the ship. As the arrow shattered against the hull, Ray blinked, and stepped backwards. T-That...that didn't do anything! The hunters followed suit, worried now more than ever.

[Angder]

The ship stopped, the people aboard collectively sighed as they realized the white flag had gone completely unnoticed.

The big steam powered vessel did not fear the arrows, but at this rate, they would not be able to contact those on the shore safely. Trying something else, the captain orders one of the men aboard a landing craft, the small iron container was then pushed towards the shore, with a single man aboard. No weaponry. Once again, the boat had a white flag over it.

[Rho'Syn Ilwynog]

Rhosyn, upon arriving back in New Avalonia, was met by a messenger squirrel. She handed the Luminarch the letter from the Steel Lords, bowed and departed.


Rhosyn frowned... maybe she had been wrong about attending this meeting. It seemed to have only added to the new tensions forming across the world. Yet... if this was true, the Phyrix Collective would not be safe from the coming conflict.


She bit her lip, thinking about what she had said to Bailey, knowing now, more than ever, having a stronger military force would be beneficial. Yet...


"Dante." she said curtly. "Gather the Council. There is much we need to discuss. And send a copy of this to both the High Knight-Lord and Chief of Craft. I want them both looking over the details of this letter as well as prepping our military. I will be coming to bless and inspect them soon."


Dante looked puzzled but nodded, a grim look returning to his features. "Your will is done, Luminarch."


Rhosyn moved quickly to the Great Hall. The council would be terrified, but they needed strength in the coming days.

[Grovygrunge]

The letter Angder opened read thusly.


"Dear Angder of Fanghold,
Originally this letter was being written to request some advice from your nation on what to do with our defenses, as we are looking to improve them. However, since then, something much more dire has come up. I'm sure you know as to what I am referring to.


I suggest we get everyone together and try to decide how to deal with this. I understand how you feel about that in typically but these are not typical circumstances. If, however, you still would rather not discuss this with all the other leaders present then maybe we should still decide what to do together. After all, we are close allies and this is a matter much bigger than either of us.


-Marko Orlyk"

[Angder]

Angder raises an eyebrow. 'Fanghold' not 'Fangwall'. He liked Marko's attention to detail there.

He knew Marko was right. Ukraine was the closest thing Angder had to true allies right now. He would have to go in person though. No way he would risk anyone else on this.

He stopped and thought for a few seconds, before thanking the person who delivered the message, and heading back into his room.


45 minutes later Angder begins to drive into northhold, heading straight for the border. He wanted to talk in person. He had NOT informed the other hold leaders of this. he could not afford a debate over it, and besides, the letter was addressed to the FangHOLD, that made it a matter for his Fief, not the nation as a whole.

[[INACTIVE]]

Bailey was walking down a long dark corridor with three officers following him, as he reached the end of the corridor a podium stood in front of him. He stepped up to the podium and stood up and looked ahead of him, over 25 million soldiers stood at attention. The flag of Arestoska flew high above Bailey. The camera man pointed the camera at Bailey and have a thumbs up, it was obvious that Bailey wanted everyone to see this, including the leaders of the world. 

"Army of Arestoska! Today is the day! The day that we will have war! We have waited for years to fight once again, we sat in the shadows of the other nations, waiting for them to call on us! Today is the day, we will find this enemy that threatens the world! We will kill every single one of them! I ask you all today, to stand with me and annihilate are enemy's! It is not enough that they fear to be beaten by us. They must learn to fear the sound, and the very sight of us! We have survived exile. We have survived isolation. We will survive this!" Every Soldier that was standing in front of Bailey began to cheer, "For the Union!"

Bailey turned around and spoke to his officers, "Send them of to find these mercenary. And if we find them. Kill them all and steal the nukes they have." His officers saluted him and marched away.

[The Past]

After the ritual, the Capital General of Burrklau, Korjir Binagurrha, headed straight to the Burrklau Alliance military base to execute the orders.
The borders of the island of Burrklau, as well as Lateri, were to be harder patrolled, the troops of all branches strengthened with the highest grade of weaponry available to them. The world was soon to be in war, and their home must be protected, no matter the cost.

As for going out to seek out these threats, however, they didn't want to take that risk just yet. The nations on the mainland were far more prepared for warfare of this tier. Getting troops killed overseas only weakened homeland defense.

[Rayleonarde]

Another shaft was fired at the small vessel, but it sank helplessly into the ocean.  Ray was visibly worried, and a bead of sweat rolled down his cheek. Since he had never fought in any sort of battle, Ray saw the white flag as nothing more than a way for the commanders to tell who was where.

[Angder]

The vessel arrives on the shore. the single unarmed soldier nervously moved out of the boat. Ready to dive back inside if fired upon. The soldier inches forward. Hands raised to show he had no weaponry.

[Rayleonarde]

The hunter's drew their bows, and Ray stepped forward. He mimicked the soldier, and stepped forward.

[Angder]

Seeing Ray, the soldier grew slightly braver. Moving slightly faster. then he notices the bows aimed at him.

This is why Fangians preferred to avoid other nations.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray saw the soldier meant no harm, and motioned for the hunters to stand down. They nodded, and released the tension on their bows.

[Angder]

The soldier relaxes, and lowers his arms. He then blinks. "R... Rayleonarde?" The soldier asks. "I did not expect to find you here in person... Angder... Angder sent us to give you a gift from the Fangwall, as thanks for what you have given us, and to try to perhaps offer you some aid in these troubled times." The soldier was not a public speaker, or a politician. He was a little bit lost as to what to say to the ruler of a nation, even a primitive one like Saranu.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "W-Why you send metal beast to Saranu?"

[Angder]

"It... it was sent to transport your gift. A... a set of three tanks sir. Armored fighting vehicles with balista's attached. We... we figured with the threat of war imminent..." the soldier shifts uncomfortably. "The point is, we are not here to hurt you, we just want to deliver our gift... a few of us will stay behind to help you operate them... and then we head back to the Fangwall..."
