The Ekodon front
Master Cre'ettia T'voleu chuckled as he sat upon his throne, his two thralls (lesser/slave demons) tending to his drinks and foods. "Ah, what do you say we make those who survive into thralls?" Cre'ettia chuckled to his commander, whom also chuckled as he eyed one of the thralls legs. "Flank them with your elite cavalry, tell the other commander to do so with his as well." Cre'ettia ordered.


Hours later, demon cavalry charged at the sides of the swordsmen and heavy soldiers.

The Ekodo Empire Calls for Backup





The Demon army killed a lot of the soldiers and heavy guard, but there were still a lot of them remaining . . . Enough to take on the demon army.


About an hour's time later, around two hundred gunmen came charging into the battlefield, their muskets aimed upwards so the bullets could get to maximum length. A few of the gunmen were pushing cannons and they started firing.

The Order Empire Prepares For Battle

​

Widour Throne Room


Emperor Torrad was sitting on his throne when he had heard the warning bell go off. He sat up from his throne and walked toward the door to investigate. A soldier burst into the room.


"Sire! Demons have been spotted outside the city." the soldier said.


"What?! Demons?" Torrad said in shock.


"Yes sire, and their heading our way."


"Tell the army to man the walls and get ready for battle. I'll meet them at the walls."


"At once, sire."


The soldier ran out of the throne room to inform the rest of the army, if they hadn't noticed already. Meanwhile, Torrad went upstairs to change into this battle armor.


Widour Outer Walls


Emperor Torrad stood on top of the walls. Gunmen had their muskets to their sides and some were manning the wall cannons. The rest of the army, consisting of the pikemen and swordsmen stood on the ground, weapons drawn, near the main gate. The demons were approaching, they had some machines with them. "ALRIGHT MEN, READY FOR BATTLE. CANNONS, AIM FOR THOSE MACHINES. MUSKETS, AIM FOR THE DEMONS. PIKEMEN AND SWORDSMEN, GET READY IF THEY BREACH THE WALL. LETS SEND THESE INHUMAN CREATURES BACK FROM WHENCE THEY CAME." Torrad yelled to the troops. He drew his sword and raised it in the air. "READY!" The gunmen picked up their muskets and got into aiming position and the men manning the cannons got into firing position. "FIRE!" With that, the gunmen fired their muskets. So did the cannons, unleashing iron balls flying though the air.

Xartos - Evening

Xanya Dar'Vollen, the Grand Divine

​

Xanya leaned back in her chair, her long red hair spilling out behind her as she examined the other Vavin before her, lounging on a pile of cushions across the room. 'The Mutated Apes continue to astonish with their stupidity,' Xanya said, amusement at the apes and their 'invasion' clear in her thoughts.


The other Vavin, wearing a splendid mask inlaid with gold, the odd 'orifices' other races seem to have carved out as well. Tella'Dar'Roverra of the Xhiss family and priestess of Calise tilted her head to the side, 'News then, I take it?'


'They have invaded some of the southern islands,' Xanya said, tilting her head to the side, conveying her amusment at it.


There was a long pause before Tella'Dar'Roverra asked the obvious, 'Why? Tis pointless. Attacking from the north was smart. Dividing their forces is just... I am no military commander, but is that not foolish?'


'Incredibly. I think the apes thought us the same as those... humans, we are not centralized nor are the Vavin forces as the are. Each city-state is a fortress and army unto themselves. Coming at multiple directions merely makes our task easier. We do not need to worry about getting bickering families together, should the need arise, but I doubt it shall.' Xanya said, her lithe hands running over the fine silk robes that flowed around her.


'As interesting as that is, my Grand Divine, I can't imagine you called me here to point out the obvious failings of the apes,' Tella'Dar'Roverra said, tilting her head ever so slightly to the side, conveying interesting and curiosity.


Xanya paused for a few moments, 'Our neighbors, boors that they are, can be useful. You will go and establish....' she paused thinking of the right way to phrase it, 'Not anything formal, I just want you to assess their situation. Gauge their strength.'


The Priestess glanced around the room for a moment, and Xanya held up a hand, 'Have no fear, I have heavily warded my chambers against spies, both mundane and magical. Whatever is said in this room shall be known only to us.'


Tella'Dar'Roverra lightly tapped the bottom of her mask, Xanya had long noted that it seemed to be a movement she copied after spending time among the hairless apes, 'I am overdue for such a trip anyways' the diplomat said, her slender shoulders shrugging, the movement cause her resplendent robes to shimmer.

Ta'tong

Southern Islander City-State

​

The arrival of the hairless apes was one of... interest to the denizens of Ta'tong. The ponderous horde like Demons an interesting sight, if nothing less. There was no reason to hide behind their walls, offensive and mobility, after all, were the Vavin favored ways of war. One only hid behind their walls when there was no other options. Only foolish commanders allowed their city to go under siege if the option for a field battle was available.


The Ta'ton 'Defenders', their 'regulars' began forming and marching forth from their gates in their unit of 200, Ta'tong sending out three-quarters of their men, seven thousand and five hundred Vavin warriors. The majority of which, the Defenders, wore breast plate over shimmering scale armor, inscribed with minor runes to protect them as they carried halberds and shields in their arms. The rest bore heavy crossbows with minor runes of penetration allowing them to slam through armor and impale the beings trying to engage them. Among their numbers, a few Runic Priest, their staffs inlaid with ancient runes, runes to cast mighty spells, to disspell the spells of foes as well as containing spells of sealing and warding, they would shut down the portals once close enough.


At the front of the army, a unit of merely 200 Dovatros Riders, their mounts faster then any horse could ever dream to be. Their rides, armed with spears and repeating crossbows riding off before the force to harass the Demons from range, using their vastly superior mobility and speed to make life unpleasant, but they would never directly engage. But then, neither would the Ta'tong force. There was no need. They would use their mobility and speed to taunt the Demons, weaken them with bolts and runes until they grew despite, or enraged enough to charge... then they would pull back again, and continue to do so.

The unexpected end


King Slarne sighed, observing the damage received by each empire. He groaned and cleared his throat. "Call off the invasion.. We've dealt enough damage to the old empires, the new ones are just so annoying. Especially the racist vavin." He ordered. His mages nodded and teleported most of the demon forces back into the realm of corruption. However, some forces remained in Eidan. The Terrian Knightlands, the Ekodo empire and The Order still remain under siege. Demon warbands raid isolated villages and caravans.


The order


The demon siege towers seemed to burn the cannon balls into liquid metal as they get close. Demon archer release their demonfire arrows back at the riflemen as the rams start pounding away at the gates. Within minutes the siege towers land on the gates and hordes of demons charge at the defenders of the walls.


Ekodo


The cavalry surrounds the Ekodian forces as the main demon foot soldiers try to push them back into their cavalry.


Osmadia


Master Flamehock thought to himself as he observed the osmadian forces and leaders. "Interesting.. They'd actually prove to be quite useful.." He mumbled. "But sire, they require watching the pain of others, we only feel pain upon death.. We can't supply them with thralls... And the king won't allow us to ally with mortals." His commander said. Flamehock chuckled. "Simple, we declare independence from the king and then we ally with the osmadians. We have plenty of elven prisoners to supply them." He smirked, his commander sighed and nodded.


Moments later, the fighting stopped. Titanic demon commanders approach the leaders of the defending osmadians. "You have proven to be quite the challenge, mortals. Master Flamehock wishes to set up an alliance between your empire and our demon horde. Sadly, our king is xenophobic and wishes us not to ally with you mortals, so it will only be us."


The realm of corruption


"My lord, we cannot teleport the Flamehawk forces... They've declared independence from you, and are no longer linked to true demons..." A demon mage stutters. King Slarne growls and roars. "Send out warbands and kill that pathetic excuse for a demon! I will have that perverts head on a pike!" The king roars.

The Ekodo Empire Calls for Backup
​

The demon cavalry left a number on the Ekodo Empire. There were still a lot of soldiers left, about an hour's time later about two hundred gunmen came rushing into the battlefield. They aimed their muskets upwards for maximum length. The Ekodo Empire was powerful, as were the demon hordes. No one knew who would win the battle at this point. The three generals entered the palace to discuss strategy with Emperor Esmaie'l. "Khan Esmaie'l, mobi re kiri throden marfedelom" (Emperor Esmaie'l, there are too many casualties).

 

[Clockwork_Magic]

The Order Empire Calls for Reinforcements

​

The Pikemen and Swordsmen clashed with the demons as they broke through the gates. The Gunmen were firing back at the demon archers. Many of the gunmen on the outer walls were killed by the demons. The rest of them fled to the inner walls of the city and the keep, including Emperor Torrad. The citizens were also ordered to retreat back to the inner walls. "Damn It! They're more powerful than we thought." Torrad said. He started writing a message on a piece of paper. He rolled it up into a scroll and tied a small string around it. He did the same with another piece of paper. He went up to a pair of soldiers. "Have these scrolls delivered to the naval cities of Gatterlen and Iredale and have them spread the word to the other cities inland. Hurry now!" Torrad said to the soldiers. They ran off to the docks. Meanwhile, the gunmen were firing upon the demons. The cannons were doing the same, seeing as the cannonballs did nothing to the siege towers.

Castle Cloveshire


"Oh?" Vivinaldi leaned back in his throne as he digested this new tidbit of information with his usual passiveness.


Before his throne was a Dark Elf messenger on his knees bowing.


"The Demon General assaulting our establishments claims this to be of the highest truths, but even if they follow through then-GAH!!!"


The Messenger wretched as a sharp triple headed whip raked across his bare back, gritting his teeth roughly before continuing.


"We still must contend with their King-ACK!!!"


King Vivinaldi looked up at the ceiling for a moment as the sounds of wrenching flesh continued, he tapped his fingertips together in thought before giving the gentlest of smiles and saying:


"The offer of Elves and assistance is mighty tempting." Vivinaldi closed his eyes and gently spoke over the grotesque sounds "Why not? I see quite a lovely long-term opportunity in this little arrangement. I approve."


He opened his eyes to see tears of joy and pain dripping from the Messenger's face as he struggled to hold back the orgasmic look on their face.


"O-oh thank you my King!" the messenger cried out as more chunks of his flesh were torn savagely from him, at that announciation the whip finally stopped coming down and the messenger was allowed to fall onto his face in afterglow.


Wrapping up the grotesque looking whip , the Royal Taskmistress strolled past the slobbering Messenger and reached for the the side of the King's throne. With one hand she retrieved the King's personal Elf Toy and handed her back to the king as two Orcs dragged the grateful Messenger away, leaving several smears of blood on the floor from his gored back.


"Enjoying today's games?" King Vivinaldi asked the Royal Taskmistress as he tapped at the Limbless Elf Toy's mouth, which automatically opened for it's master's fingers to enter and pick at its tongue as usual.


"Well, the extra variety is delightfully spicy." Royal Taskmistress replied as she brought one of the whip's blood covered tips to her mouth and daintily sucked at it "Think we should peruse the dungeons for some more toys?"


"Unfortunately not," Vivinaldi said with a sigh as he retrieved his fingers from his toy's mouth once more and tapped at her upper cheek "We're going to be quite busy in the coming times."


The Royal Taskmistress just pouted at that as the Elf toy's eyes widened "I'm sure there will be fun to have, there always is. Right guys?"


She directed the last part towards the Orc guards, who growled and clanked their weapons and armor together in agreement with several enthusiastic shouts.


The King smiled at the display before leaning down and running his tongue over his toy's eye.


Panshaw


Captain Wallenheim paced back and forth with his eyes glued on the Demon General standing a ways away. A Dark Elf had had a chair placed down near the Captain's feet and sat with her head in her palm and hummed merrily as they waited. As a somewhat lesser note, Marshall Tydon stood several yards behind the Captain and the Dark Elf with two Justicars at his sides.


They'd been like this for some time, Wallenheim was sure he was wearing some sort of trail in the ground beneath him and the Dark Elf had already hummed through several tunes.


Finally, another Dark Elf leaped down from a nearby rooftop and whispered in the ear of the Dark Elf already there.


She smirked and stood from her chair before leisurely stretching, the Dark Elf placed a hand on her hip and spoke "Our dearest King has accepted your terms and audience between leaders has been called for."


"Are you kidding me?!?" Tydon spoke a tad too loudly


"Squishy Justicar stay silent!" Wallenheim pointed towards the Marshall "King's Word is King's Word."


Osmadia


Across all cities previously under siege similar scenes took place as word of the King's acceptance of the Demon General's initial proposal spread.

A journey for help


A knight to the Vavin


A knight groaned as he flew his gryphon towards the Vavinese islands. "Why did they make me go to the racist, ignorant vavin..." He grumbled to himself as the first city came into view.


A knight to the empire


The knight gasped as he saw the guardsmen. "I mean no harm! I am a gryphon knight of the Terrian Knightlands, I bring with me a message on behalf of the prince!" The knight said as he gently held his gryphon, trying to calm it down.


The empires above the empire


Three letters arrive at the emperors doorstep.


The Nerri imperials: "Dearest emperor, I am but a humble lord of a starving empire, I would be great-full to be aligned to your empire with the promise of food and water for my people."-Emperor Palacine.


The Skull Cracker tribes sent their letter... on the skin of a goat with various spelling errors. "Pooney umens fink dat dey'r bettah den uhs, waar wil com!"


Bretonians: "Ah, it is an honor to be sent a letter from the emperor himself! I have heard so much about you, and I see great future in our alliance!" King Gilles Le Breton


The Felinian Sultinate, an empire of catfolk, send a rather.. well, read for yourself my lord: "Well, a rather large and masculine man sends us a request to join him? To be close partners with him? Well, accepted~" Empress Velina


The order front


Demons push against the forces at the gates and walls of the city whilst flying demons zoom over the walls and into the towns of the city, sparing no human. Seeing most of the human forces retreat to the inner wall, the first demon soldiers at the first wall continue to push towards the inner wall as reinforcements pour in and pick off all that were left behind. "Meh... Send in more flying demons.." Master Tauros Karikus said, waving his hand towards the castle as he ate his grapes and abused his thralls.


The Ekodian front


"My lord, their gunmen will slaughter our cavalry!" Another demon commander said, with worry. "Then send the cavalry charging towards their gun formation." The master ordered. Hours later the first wave of cavalry started towards the gunmen.

Strange beings


Gulai city


The capital of the Guins,Gulai city is the most prosperous region within the Turtle Plains,.The city was considered well-built,with spectacular buildings located all around the mountain.Within the mountain was the underground region of the city,a large hole dug by the Guins to host important sites,which includes the Palace.


"So,what numbers are you buying today,Gath?"asked a Guin soldier to a fellow soldier who was patrolling the city walls."Meh,maybe 7788,that's my house number."replied the soldier known as Gath."Maybe you should consider buying 6514,numbers that start with '6' keeps hitting the jackpot....What's that?"said the unnamed soldier as he points towards a strange portal that suddenly appeared near the city walls. Strange creatures immediately started swarming out of the portal,chanting in a language unknown.


"Maybe some uncultured scum who wants to take a look at our city.Look at how excited they are to just witness a glimpse of the majestic Guin culture."said Gath jokingly.The strange creatures started rushing towards the city and climbing up the city walls.The soldiers started to assemble at the walls,looking as the strange creatures climb higher and higher,while laughing at their looks.But they panicked at the very moment a swordsman was struck dead by these strange creatures,who finally reached the top of the wall.


"What the fuck are these!Sound the alarms,we are under siege!"shouted a soldier as he rushes to a tower built nearby,which was built on the wall.The alarm was soon activated,in the form of an extremely terrible screeching noise.Guin soldiers rushed onto the wall to fight off these strange creatures,while civilians panicked and fled into their homes.Musket shots and screams are heard frequently as the Central Government declares a national emergency.


Emperor Ulgi sat on his throne,assessing the casualties of the military and civilians presented to him by his subordinates,frowning at the relatively high death toll suffered by the Guins."Permit the use of missiles within the city,we can always repair it by looting the orcs later."said the Emperor.


The Front


A group of musketeers standing in the middle of a street are firing their shots towards the strange creatures as they got closer and closer.After leaving a couple of dead bodies behind,the creatures had finally reached the musketeers.Noticing the situation,the musketeers fought the creatures with bayonets equipped on their muskets.After a couple of screams and dead creatures,the creatures passed through the street,killing most civilians that hid within the buildings.


As the creatures continued their rampage within the city,they were shocked as hundreds of "dragons" flew out of nowhere with a bright streak of flame.As soon as it reaches the monstrosities,four small packets are shot out,hitting the monsters and pushing them meters backwards,burning the creature as it burns out.Some of the "dragons" are not so fortunate enough to hit their target,as they flew into buildings and exploded.


More Guin soldiers surged out into the streets to continue the resistance.Civilians rushed out of the buildings with pans,pitchforks,and kitchen knifes to aid the resistance.But that wasn't enough,the resistance forces are pushed near the underground section of the city and the city wall(for some parts). Emperor Ulgi continues to monitor the battle through the place's balcony,noticing that his forces were slowly pushed back.Obviously disgruntled by the situation,the emperor summons General Deisoth to question him.


"Why are our forces retreating,General Deisoth?Answer me."said the Emperor with a frown on his face as he turns to face the general,who is kneeling on the floor."Your Majesty,our forces are not given enough time to response to the attack.Thus,they didn't perform as well as they are in the battlefield..."reported the general before Emperor Ulgi intercepts his words:"That's not a reason to fail,my general! We Guins are the most majestic race in the face of earth,and your incompetency caused the deaths of hundreds,if not thousands of Movli's best creations!"shouted the Emperor in rage as General Deisoth is dragged away by the guards."You should probably spend some time thinking about your sins in jail,General Deisoth.I'll lead the army myself for now."


The Emperor rushed out of the palace,accompanied by the Imperial Guard(Basically knights).Witnessing their dearest emperor,the soldier's morale raised and the creature's progress into the underground section was significantly slowed down.Under the orders of the emperor,the Imperial Guard blockaded the entrance to the underground section,while the armies are reorganized within the safety of the blockade.A few hours later,thousands of reorganized soldiers rushed out of the blockade and started to push the creatures back.With the help of the civilian resistance from the other part of the city,the creatures were finally surrounded by the Guin forces,with a significant amount managing to retreat through the city walls.


As the soldiers started to massacre the helpless creatures ,Emperor Ulgi spoke:"My dear citizens,by the blessings of Movli,we Guins have managed to repel this hostile invasion by these unknown creatures.Some of us might have died in the process,but we have proved to these creatures that we,as a race is superior to them! These uncultured scum had always been ignorant to the superiority of the Guin race to the point that they even tried to invade us! Let us stand together and show these scum what is true culture!" The Emperor's speech was followed by waves of cheering from the crowd,while the soldiers continue to stab the creatures to death.


The Emperor signaled for the soldiers to stop,while he ordered:"Leave some of these scum alive,we will need them for future experiments." The soldiers soon backed off from the creatures,throwing metal nets to restrain the creatures.Emperor Ulgi soon turned to his subordinates and asked:"How much casualties we sustained?"One of his subordinates standing beside him took a step front and reported:"Your Majesty, approximately 2000 soldiers,4500 civilians and 8000 slaves died in the battle."


The Emperor frowned at the report,and asked again:"Do you have any clue on who attacked us?".The man soon replied:"Your Majesty,we have no clue on who attacked us,but it's definitely not the orcs."


The Emperor frowned again,before asking:"How much loss was inflicted?"


"Your Majesty,an estimate of 5 million Bain(the Guin currency) was lost as a result of this brutal attack."


The Emperor,with his face full of anger,ordered:"Well,we'll have to get the compensation from the orcs.Tell the garrison at Kanin to lead an expedition of 2000 light cavalry,500 heavy cavalry and 1000 horse archers into the orcish territory and raze some villages to the ground. That should be enough."


After a messenger leaves the city to pass the Emperor's orders to kanin,the Emperor takes a look at the now damaged city.In the West side,hundreds of buildings are still in flames even with the Fire Department already attempting to extinguish the fire,and thousands of the buildings were in ruins.The East side has remained relatively intact,thanks to the fierce civilian resistance there.But there are still hundreds of buildings in ruins and thousands damaged.Thousands of corpses litter the ground,with the guts and blood splattered everywhere.


"Well,we'll have quite a lot of rebuilding to do."

The Order Empire; Reinforcements Arrive

​

The battle raged on. Sounds of gunfire and steel clashing filled the air, along with the whistling and explosions of cannonballs. "WATCH THE SKIES, FLYING DEMONS! OPEN FIRE!" Several musketmen directed their guns toward the flying demons and opened fire. "Sir, there's too many of them, we can't hold on much longer alone." a soldier said to Torrad. "Well, looks like we don't have to anymore." Torrad said as he pointed towards the outskirts of the city. There stood several figures, weapons drawn, along with some toting the banner of the Order Empire. The reinforcements let out a battle cry and rushed towards the field of battle, well most of them. The swordsmen and pikemen went down there to join the fight meanwhile, the musketmen and cannons helped from a distance.

Castle Cloveshire


On a larger balcony stood King Vivinaldi flanked by two of the Blueblood Knights, larger Orcs that serve under royalty specifically. The King kept his gentle smile going and silently listened to the foreigner before him. A gryphon Rider, apparently from one of those northern empires they'd yet to encounter. Taking the letter he glanced back at the Gryphon Rider for a moment before it took off. Vivinaldi waved goodbye as he read over the letter, then laughed politely to himself as he turned and waved for the two Blueblood Knights to follow as he turned and reentered his castle.


Down two flights of the stairs and eventually entering the grim looking dungeons of Castle Cloveshire, King Vivinaldi opened a wide empty cell which had been reserved for captured ogres. It had been emptied after the most recent feast he'd held, what with the rate at which the visiting representatives of cities and forts ate, but he made good use of it now.


Standing off to the side was the Royal Taskmistress, putting effort into looking as bored as possible, along with several other Bluebloods.


And in the center of the empty cell with a single fancy chair propped up a yard away was a shimmering, flaming demon portal. Within it the rogue Demon Master Flamehock waited, and Vivinaldi immediately apologized as he took his seat.


"Forgive me for keeping you waiting," Vivinaldi said gently as he produced the letter given to him "It would seem your accounts of the sheer range of your former King's attack hold more than enough support."


He leaned back in his seat, "As suspected, the other empires are in quite the tizzy." he pointed out "I'm quite positive this isn't the only alliance being forged at this very moment. But these new alliances will only last as long as it takes for those involved to see just how different they are, then they'll be back to killing each other with even more ferocity after the king's forces have been pushed back."


He glanced at the rogue demon master "Whether we accept their proposal or not, if they know of our location they'll take notice of our current alliance with you and yours unless you have concealed your forces. I am more than willing to offer sanctuary but I don't wish to impose."


"Either way your King will surely have taken notice of your defection and will retaliate twice as strongly towards us." he sighed and leaned his head into his palm "Oh...what fun."

Terrianian front


It was the third day of the siege, more likely the second night. The demon forces rest in their fiery, sinister tents outside the walls of Terra. Soldiers and eliteguard man the walls as the gate becomes repaired and reinforced. Prince Lorina sighs as he looks out to the demon encampment that stretches as far as the eye could see, his titanic guards standing at his sides. "When will those knights return..." The beloved prince grumbled to himself.


"My lord! A gryphon riding knight has arrived!" A soldier calls to her prince. His eyes widen and he makes his way down to the knight, hoping for it to be one of his own. He quietly groaned as he realized it was a foreigner. After a few minutes of chatting, the prince read the letter. "I see... Saddle up your gryphons and prepare a gryphon caravan, we're going to negotiate with his empire." The prince ordered.


The forgotten demons


Master Neya collapsed against a tree, his forces already setting up tents within the valley. "Master, there has been no response from the king and his mages.. Most of us have begun to speculate that he has left us behind.." One of his thralls said. Ironically, his thralls betrayed the stereotype of being feminine and unfit for war, weak and being lesser demons. They were masculine, but held feminine curves, they wore large armor and held titanic swords. Except, their legs only had knee plates.


Master Neya groaned and tossed his helmet to the side, rubbing his eyes. "We are on our own then.. The king has despised me for quite a while, he must be using this too his advantage.." Master Neya explained. "We could ally with the natives, my lord." The other thrall offered. "Ha! Easier said than done. They wouldn't trust us." Master Neya laughed sarcastically. "We must endure, and hope that we can be forgiven of our sins." He sighed. A beautiful light appeared sliding out of his eye, it was so beautiful that it was hypnotic. Demon tears. His thralls laid beside him, cuddling him to cheer him up. No matter how much you break the rule of thralls, sometimes thralls will be thralls.


Master Flamehock chuckled and nodded. "It is quite alright, my lord." He smiled and bowed. "Indeed, the invasion wasn't exactly meant to succeed, but it wasn't meant to fail either. You understand what I'm saying?" He asked.


"Humans always love their alliances...." Master Flamehock joked and rolled his eyes. "Well, if they do take notice, I am a master of both sword arts and word arts. Demons were once humans too, maybe we can convince them to spare me and my forces. But if the threat against your empire is too large, I will leave you to prevent harm upon you." Master Flamehock offered, looking Vivinaldi's body over.


Flamehock laughed. "Ha! Let them come, his forces don't know what it's like to fight their own kind! They will break morally and then they'll be too weak, they'll die or join us."


The Order front


Demon soldiers march through the city between the outer wall and the inner wall, slaughtering all stragglers. Citizen and soldier. Unknowing to them, a large force of Order soldiers were about to flank them. Within moments, demons at the back of the march gasp and warn the rest. But it's too late, most of the rear demons have been killed and were fighting the humans.


The Knights Lothric enter the fray


Lothaan Fayr rides of gryphonback towards the gates of the crystal empire. He holds his fist above him and the formation of knights halts. "Greetings on behalf of the Knights Lothric. We are a mercenary warband whom fight for good as long as we're paid. We've heard and seen the demon attacks upon the empires and seek to protect yours until you've replenished." He calls to the guards at the gates.

The Return of Fire and Wrath


Drayla, Bryalshire Castle, Throne room


The large looming entrance doors slowly open with a screeching creak. Out runs a Fliylia Royal Guard into the dark marble empty center floor. Upon reaching the center, the guard knees down bowing to a dark figure sitting on a red ruby throne.


"My king!" shouted the guard while kneeling.


"We have received a letter from a so-called 'Gryphon Rider'. He has told us it is up most important that we deliver this to you. As well it comes from an empire called 'The Crystal Empire'."


The royal guard holds out a scroll with a marking of the empire's flag implanted with wax.


Shaoque who is sitting bent down with his hands resting his chin begins to get up. He walks slowly up to the guards position to retrieve the letter. After grabbing it out of the guard's hands he opens it to find a peculiar message. He quickly scans the letter with his piercing red eyes. A few seconds past until.


"hmph, an alliance? Demons? Well now this is intriguing." uttered Shaoque giving a faceless emotion.


"To think that those earlier reports were just a fairy tale. It seems this is the real deal."


"Send a message back to the rider and tell him that we have no need for an alliance at the moment. Not unless we gain something in return. Do not delay me."


"Yes, m'lord!" returned the guard.


Soon after the guard bowed once more before running back out to relay the message that Shaoque has given him.


Shaoque turns back to sit on his ruby throne. He shuts his eyes for a moment as if he is in deep thought. Out of the shadows appears his imperial commander/military adviser, Shaxne. He is in charge of all military forces of the empire while-list handling law enforcement. He was wearing a fliylia royal guard armor piece colored in the traditional red and black with a hint of gold. He wore no helmet and wielded a two handed giant sword on his back. He was very built up and stand at a total height of 6'4". The fearful presence of the commander can be felt within a 10 meter radius. Shaoque gave a small grin.


"It seems that those reports you acquired were true after all."


"You own me 100 gold for that." snorted Shaxne crossing his arms.


"The world is getting madder by the second."


"Then we too must become mad to continue our existence. What news of Dacharia and his cronies?" asked Shaoque.





"We just raided one of their hide outs at a local inn with knowledge of Dacharia meeting one of the rebel commanders at that location today. Unfortunately Dacharia escaped, but manged to capture all those involved with the rebellion and commander of the district." said Shaxne as he gave a deep sigh.


Shaoque smashes his fist on the arm chair.


"That damn #%$%! I want interrogations done on the commander right away. Kill him if you must. I could care more or less."


"Very well, my liege." said Shaxne as he bowed with one arm.


As Shaxne begun to leave, Shaoque quickly stopped him.


"Also, give word to the crimson princes in all cities and castles. Have them all raise levies and get them ready to mobilize at a moments notice." demanded Shaoque.


Shaxne nodded and left without a moments notice.


"Guard!" shouted Shaoque.


"Yes, mighty king?" saluted the nearby guard.


"Send orders to any available dragon riders to recon all empires around the world. Do not allow any sort of contact what so ever. Do not engage under any circumstance. Retreat if hostile."


"As well as send in spies to record all details that we can uncover. I want a full assessment of what we are up against." roared Shaoque.


The guard bowed and ran out the doors to give the orders. Shaoque then stood up and walked onto the nearby balcony. Once he entered the wind picked up his hair and wings cooling him from all the stress he received today. He took a deep breath. As he just finished he turned to face two fliylia royal guards awaiting him. He walked past them into the darkness, both guards followed behind.


Begin event dragons above to all empires and nations!

The White Lotus' Experience and the Answer to Emperor Luthar.


Marcus stood looking over the city of Bridgewick from the veranda of The Lotus Palace. It was night and the invasion of the demons was finally over. For now at least. Luckily his Empire wasn't as badly hit as some of the other nations were. At least that is what he heard from his... informants.


"Luckily only Kaer Az and The Earnside Citadel were heavily damaged. Bridgewick took minor damages on the outer wall and the Red Light District." Az reported, he was a large orc, larger than most. He had a dark green skin and large teeth, his fangs protruding from his mouth. He spoke like a seasoned diplomat though. He was the leader of the Orc Population within the Empire.


"Most of the demons were killed and we have sent hunting parties to kill any stragglers." High General Geralt informed. He was in charge of the military long before Marcus taking his father's place as the Emperor. He was someone that Marcus could trust and rely on.


"Kaer Az and The Earnside Citadel have a lot of casualties but we are already treating to them. Varric and his dwarves should be helping with the repairs as soon as possible." Alvein pitched in, she was the leader of the Elves in the Empire. She originally came from the Gray Havens of Lindon and has been here for generations. She was undoubtedly the Empires most profound and deadliest Mage.


"Aye. We are also going to strengthen the outer walls of the capital. Also, the little project is almost done." Varric replied to Alvein and Marcus, a grin on his face. He was in charge of the Dwarves, a seasoned warrior and brilliant engineer, he helped with Repairs, innovation and mining.


"I'll set up a campaign to help get donations for those afflicted." Senate Leader Maxus Talon added, he was one of the most honest and prolific leaders the Senate had ever had, "Varric you'll continue to get your funds for the project and get more for the repairs."


Marcus put his hand up, ordering them to stop talking, "A Gryphon approaches." He narrowed his eyes as it got closer and closer, soon stopping and landing on the Veranda. The rider got of and walked over to Marcus, handing him the letter and bowing, waiting for Marcus' answer.


"A declaration of an Alliance from the... Crystal Empire." Marcus looked at the decree, a bit dumbfounded, "Never heard of them... Are they powerful?"


"Yes, Marcus. Very. They live on the other side of the contenient." Maxus elaborated before continuing in a scolding voice, "We can't accept it without the Senate's cons-"


"Quiet Maxus. This is for the betterment of the world. If demons attack again... Then they will have to face the greatest super alliance to ever be formed. Tell the Senate that I am using my Right of Power on this." Marcus said, his voice deep and raspy, it was soothing though.


"As you wish, Emperor." Maxus quickly obeyed, the other four bowing in agreement.


"Rider. Go tell your leader we will humbly accept his offer and extend a trade deal. Tell him, that should he wish, that he is invited here for further talks and vice versa." Marcus said, eyeing the massive city beneath him bustle with citizens finally going back home and soldiers patrolling the streets.

"Mi'Lord, The Messengers Have Reached Some Empire's But Not All Of Them, We Are Yet To Hear From The Others" Reported Artix. "Good, What Are The Responses?" Asked Emperor Luthar. "The Empire Of The Dragonfolk Refuses, The White Lotus Accepted And Would Like You To Visit Their Country To Talk, And The Terranian Empire Has Sent Some Envoys" Reported Artix. "Very Well, I Believe The Knight Marked Some Place Of White Lotus, Which Will Allow Me To Use Magic Transportation." Said Emperor Luthar "Show The Envoy's In, And Give Them Some Spare Room In The Crystal Barracks, I Must Visit The White Lotus First." . "As You Wish" Said Artix.


The Eyes Of The Emperor Glowed Bright Blue And Then Dissapeared.

The Emperor Appeared Right Outside The Royal Keep, His Royal Vestment Turned Into Normal Clothes And A Hood To Not Attract Attention. He Walked Towards The Gate And Told The Guard "I Would Like To Talk With Your King" Said Luthar Politely.

Luthar of the Crystal Empire


Marcus took a deep breath through his nostrils, looking down at the gates of the palace, "Someone is here... Most likely the man that offered us an alliance?"


"It is, Marcus." Alvein conformed Marcus hunch with confirmation. If anyone would know just from the magically energy alone it would be her.


"Well, we should go and greet him. Don't want him to blow us up or something." Marcus said jokingly. The five others followed behind him, all of them were wearing their battle gear, except for Maxus, he wasn't a warrior.


Meanwhile...


"Identify yourself. No one is supposed to be near the Palace at the moment. We just suffered a Demon attack." The Guard replied, remaining awfully calm and polite.


"It is fine, Sergeant... Talis Right?" Marcus said, putting a hand on the guardsman shoulder, startling him.


"Yes, my lord!" The guardsman bowed and offered a nod to the man at the gate.


"Follow me." Marcus said, his company in tow as he turned on his heel and walked back to the palace.

The Order Empire; The Battle Continues

​

The Sound of screams, metal clanging, and gunshots filled the air as the reinforcements attacked the demons from behind. Meanwhile, the remaining forces charged at the demons from the inner walls, except for the musketmen and the artillery, who were still firing upon the demons. Emperor Torrad himself charged into battle in his battle armor, wielding his sword, and riding a horse. (The only people to use horses in the Order Empire are the Emperor, generals, merchants, and messengers.)


Meanwhile, the troops can see a gryphon like figure in the skies in the distance (@Wickedkent)

Exclaimed The Messenger "I Must Aid Them As Best As I Can Before I Land". The Messenger Threw A Few Spells At The Demons And Killed A Few. The Gryphon Landed Next To The Man In The Horse That Looked Like The Emperor. He Aided Him As Best As He Could.

The Wall


Ever since the Mo(that's how Guins call demons) attack on Gulai city,the Central Government has issued a red alert across the empire.Thousands of citizens are conscripted within the army and trained within their respective cities.The patrols became frequent and the cities are now prepared for war.At this extremely sensitive moment,a humanoid on a strange flying creature arrived at vicinity of the Wall.


"What's that?"said one of the Border Guard,pointing at the humanoid on a flying creature.The captain of the Border Guard just happened to pass by and said:"What's the matter?"


"Sir,there is a flying creature approaching the Wall."


"What! Ring the alarms,shoot it down! It must be the Mo!"


Within seconds,the alarms were sounded and the Border Guards rushed within the interior of the Wall,only to come out with muskets aimed at the creature.


"Fire!"


The Border Guard fired their muskets at the creature as ordered by their captain,sending a wave of lead towards the creature.

Raiding party





Thousands of horse riders were about to reach the Wall after their raiding mission at the orcish lands.As the Wall started to enter their view, one of the soldiers noticed a distant flying creature slowly approaching.


"Captain,we spotted a suspicious creature flying in the direction of the Wall."


"What? Then we better hurry and alert the Border Guard."


The raiders began speeding up as the creature approached
