The soldiers calm down and Gjolker puts his side arm away. “Sorry for the fright. Say, you know these lands better than us. Can you help us fight the rebels? We aren’t aware of how much land they currently occupy, and how the civilians here stand on the situation. Do you wanna to be added into the occupation force?” He stares at the bodies. “You’re clearly overqualified.”
Kaupang, SvipjothGeiseric stares apathetically at the Northern Greenlandic soldiers before nodding his head once, with neither excitement nor fear interrupting his stoic expression. He leaned down to retrieve his axe and swiftly approaches Gjolker's naval unit. Bending down from his towering stature to merely make even eye contact, he stated,
"We are at the border with Danmark. We must stay away from there, stay here in Kaupang. Queen Otkatla allows neither Lukas' or Pjotur's armies. She hides in Jelling undecided. It is lawless here, vigilantes on both sides alike, including myself. We need to convince her to ally with Pjotur. We must the follow the coastline South to Jelling."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-After seeing the state Aldeigjuborg was in, The Supreme Commander Stridor said "Interesting, while the rest of the troops dont arrive i want 500 of you to occupy the that military base over there" he says pointing at the military base "and the other 1500 of you will follow me to try and speak with these barbarians"
----------------------------------------------
Aldeigjuborg Military Base
the 800 wizards slowly enter the military base, they look around and start to take note of the structure of the miltary base with little care assuming it was empty.
--------------------------------------------------
Aldeigjuborg
Stridor forms his troops into squares of 100 wizards. As they started to march slowly towards the city stridor stopped them and using his voice magnifying magic said "Dear unkown soldiers, we are from Holy Spire, we came to liberate you and protect you from the tyranny of Lukas, come foward so we can recognize if you are enemies or allies, this is a warning, if you fail to obey we will bombard the city as we dont wish to waste time fighting you" stridor raised his wand and said "parietes lapideos" and stone walls that reaches the hips of the soldiers rose from the ground, this was to form a small protection in case the barbarians became hostile.
The NAS Karling flys above the Holy Spire Military base in Aldeigjuborg.
Astril takes a parachute out of his Airship landing in the middle of the base. He looks around at the base activating his personal cloaking device before looking for either Severina or The commanding officer.
He sneaks around hoping to find out how he can be useful to the Spirians.
“Where could the headquarters be.” He spots the place and wanders in remaining cloaked while attempting to listen in.
OOC:The cloak is a optical cloak only. If you try hard enough you can spot him.
"Abandoned" Military Base, Aldeigjuborg, Garthariki, SvipjothAs the Holy Spirean soldiers entered the military base, the front doors were suddenly slammed behind them and hundreds, if not thousands, of these barbarian soldiers surrounded them in the central quarter. Aiming their weaponry at the foreign soldiers, they were prepared to strike, halting only from the sound of Commander Stridor's warning.
Backing away from the Holy Spireans slowly, they yet stood their ground. Emerging from the crowd was a single man, more fancifully armored than the rest yet still clearly barbaric. He casually parted from the encirclement and approached the Holy Spireans with no hesistation, then speaking,
"Foreigners, you speak to chieftain of the Hircinaeans, Madanach. You protect us from one tyrant, yet will you succumb us to the other tyrant? Bring the rest of your soldiers here and we shall tell you our story and our conditions."
Astril witnessed all of this without either being detected or harmed.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-After over 2 hours the artillery hasn't stopped. the allied troops were getting desperate as Captain Chalmers ordered a retreat. "Everyone fall back, get out of here. I'll slow the invaders!" He yelled as he ordered his own artillery to fire in the general direction of the enemy to provide covering fire. This lasted for another hour until the survivors were all nearly out of the area.
"Sir, we're the last group. lets go." A soldier called out. However the Captain waved him off.
"Someone needs to slow their advance. We still have the charges in the mountainside." He said solely as he pulled out the detonator.
Issknui Mountains, SvipjothFlooded by both snow and rock, the ascending soldiers being hindered, but not entirely defeated, as the pure might of the Stigyan mech suit kept them from perishing either by blunt force trauma or by hypothermia. Albeit delayed, they finally reached the top of Issknui only to find the camp empty and withered.
Radioing the general below about the abandoned camp, he took the news with a suppressed gladness, commanding the soldiers to descend back into their camp.
As the Stigyans and Svips retreated Westward, the large armies split as Lukas' plan specified, with 3/4ths of the gargantuan combined forces following the displaced soldiers West towards Birka and the other 1/4th marching East towards Aldeigjuborg, so that they might assist Queen Skjalddis in eliminating the barbarous rebels there.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-"Hello, Pjotur. The senate of Joslisonoria requests that we may land our troops to help you liberate kingdoms. I hope you consider our offer." He ended the transmission. "All we need to do is wait."
He Walks into the Embassy to Alert the Ruler of Svipjoth the Fleet will and five hundred thousand Troops are here to assist In defending Positions so the other Army’s can fight.
“Your Majesty,
The Technocratic Republic of Icebergia would like to join the civil war by your side, we would like to go to the Svipish Kingdom of Danmark to help with the war. And to also use our cruisers to accurately identify Lukas. Let’s put aside the Icebergian-Svonish Dissolve Issue, as this is the greed of imperial Icebergia. As we share the same Germanic Blood. I think we should collaborate with each other.
President of The Technocratic Republic of Icebergia,
Karl Werner”
Hvithaar Hall, Uppsala, SvipjothThe once calm, collected, peaceful passageways and meeting rooms of Hvithaar Hall were now disheveled with panic and pessimism. Nobles and politicians alike blamed each other, one for not advancing the military immediately and the other for pushing change too soon. Pjotur stood optimistic to all who looked up to him for leadership, but he knew well that Lukas' advantages in manpower and technology were going to be difficult, if not impossible to beat, for the antiquatedly armed Fylkiran Armed Forces.
Reading the report of Issknui's retreat and the continual defeats all across Eastern Svipjoth, Pjotur could only stare blankly at a wall for a moment or two before moving on to the next documents, three letters or transcripts of other nations requesting the permission of Pjotur to send aid. Without hesistation or even a second thought, he signed approvals for each of those request, instructing the following:
For the Joslisonorian forces to gather at Melkorka and prepare for the invading rebels from the East,
For the New Naragian forces to station both at Birka and across the West Rurik's Sea,
And for the Icebergian forces to airdrop into Issknui and station down in
the small valley between Issknui and Muspelost, so that they can begin constructing a hidden camp there for both refugees and espionage alike.
Finishing the letters, he handed them to his advisor of defense, Melkorka Tryggvisdottir, alongside an authorization deploying the majority of the Fylkiran Armed Forces' remaining manpower to join the Joslisonorians in Melkorka and the New Naragians in Birka, keeping the rest to defend Halogaland.
