(OOC: The Area Aggrestica is located in would be known as current day Russia)
The Year 1538 of our King's Time, King Joseph Alastair, The Royal Blood and Leader of the Aggresticans out of the Stone Age and into Glory
The Western Region of Aggrestica, border between the nations of Europe and the glorious homeland
The day was gloomy and cloudy as 3 full Armies of Aggrestica, 180,000 soldiers prepared, swords and shields in hand. Their black metal and red leather glistening from sweat and morning dew as fires burned in their cups of the catapults. Lord-Commander Glarek Martine stood atop a makeshift stage with 4 Soldiers behind.
"The Time for our Glory has arrived! We, the men of Aggrestica have waited and trained for this era! The era where we invade the lands of savagery and brutality and bring a new sense to the word! We dominate and destroy the armies of Europe and pierce their flesh with arrows as they attempt to run for their lives! We, the Men of Aggrestica will take hold of everything these cowards hold dear! And we will take it with blood and steel and a hunger to kill!" At this, the hundreds of thousands of men cheered and screamed and raised their swords high in the air, ready to finally begin the Invasion. The black and red dragon flags of Aggrestica flying in the wind.
Lord-Commander Martine had planned on more words, to help tend the fire growing inside of them. But he knew it would have been worthless. They were as fired up as they were likely to ever be. He simply turned towards the Western lines of Aggrestica, the wide open green fields with some mountains in the distance and threw his hand forward.
The men instantly quieted down and began beating their shields with their swords and marched forward, the sound of thousands of footsteps blasting away the quietness of five miles distance and the rain had begun to pour. With the men marching forward, the Lord-Commander grabbed one of the flag poles with this gigantic, calloused hand and yanked it out of the wet and muddy ground and raised the flag high above his head.
All around the Eastern and Southern borders, Armies of Aggrestica marched outwards as well, with 100,000 Populus Legio falling in behind to defend the borders in case of counter attack.
On the Eastern side, 3 Armies of 180,000 pushed outwards, burning several villages, crops, and isolated foreign watchtowers and guard postings to a charred crisp, without taking a single casualty. This force would be led by High-Commandant Darius Stockvoulm.
On the Southern Side, 4 Armies led by High-Commandant Stahl Verunous, composed of 240,000 soldiers pushed fast and hard towards castles, villages and even forts and walled cities of the nations below.
Back inside Aggrestica, King Joseph Alastair awaited in the Capital city of Dyremora with a reserve force of 1,200,000 soldiers (The front well trained soldiers, and the back half trained boys) with an additional force of 80,000 Populus Legio militiamen. Around the various cities and villages within Aggrestica, shipments of weapons and armor were being passed out to the able men and boys, meaning all Aggrestican settlements were ready to fight and die if necessary. Meanwhile, thousands of slaves around the Capital city created defenses such as outward sharpened logs, hundreds of holes containing sharpened spears covered by grass and oil barrel launchers ready with archers and flamed arrows ready to target them. The inner walls were packed with sand to decrease the chance of the walls being penetrated and invaders pouring in should the offensive Armies fail. The Kingdom of Aggrestica's Rise has Begun.
