The Liberation of the Imperium (Closed RP)

[The Elven Imperium]

Maximilian's soldiers were on the verge of routing the Crown Alliance forces in Greens-Town when the southern flank of the host was hit by the gleaming sight of the 1st Steel Legion and the Elven forces. With the amount of force and power those armies brought together, the southern flank completely faltered and routed as the rest of the Crown Alliance began one last desperate attempt to drive Maximilian and his armies out of Greens-Town and the Steel Valley. All around Maximilian's men began to falter as they started to retreat back into the mountains and back towards Kingsmarch and the Steel Pass. As Maximilian tried to compensate his magic to help his forces, he was again blinded and burned by the holy magic of the Elves as he had no choice but to retreat with his forces. Leaving his men to die to protect him and his retreat, Maximilian began to head towards the mountain roads when his contingent ran into the Honor Guard of Lord Francis.

---

As Francis and the Steel Legion drove further and further into the heart of Maximilian's army, his sights were set on the banner of Maximilian himself as he wanted to end the war here and now. After driving through many soldiers, Lord Francis had himself and his guard staring down Maximilian himself. With fire in his eyes and his sword and pistol in hand, Francis yelled at the man that had caused so much death and pain for him over these last ten years. "You bastard dog! I will end this war now and avenge all of those that have died by your hand. Back to the depths of Hell Maximilian!" Against the will of his own honor guard, Francis charged towards Maximilian and engaged him in combat. Fighting with rage and pure instinct, Francis managed to wound Maximilian in the battle as he used his pistol to shot part of his arm off. As Francis went in for the kill, however, Maximilian conjured enough magic to blast Francis away from him and into a pit of mines set by the Phoenixian's. Even though Francis was superhuman in almost every way, the blasts from the mines were enough to riddle his armor and body with enough wounds to cause him from fighting any longer. As he laid near a destroyed tank bleeding out and dying, his sight began to haze as he saw several allies coming towards him and the sight of Maximilian retreating into the mountains.

Elven soldiers picked up the broken Francis. They took him to a skilled Elven High Mage of healing. The wounds Francis suffer where terrible. The mage looked at assemble officers. "I can save him but there is a price. Someone will have to give of their life to save his."

Seeing that Maximilian forces retreated the Phoenixian Soldiers relaxed but no one cheered, no one shows expression of joy. This battle was nearly as worse as the battle against Steel Harbor. Nearly everyone got injuries and nearly every platoon has dead comrades to burry.
Instead they charged the retreating forces, shooting after anyone who was wearing a uniform of Maximilian forces.
Lady Német was one of the exceptions, she nearly skipped medical treadment to search for General Alastair, mainly to prevent any action that he would regret later like sending soldiers to search for her on the front...[/quote]

As Lady Nemet searched for her beloved. She saw out on the field, his command Bradley smoking and on fire. As her heart froze and she nearly broke down and cried. A Elven soldier spotted her and spoke. "The general is alive but he is at the hospital."

Seeing her worse fears come truth she nearly collapsed into the snow. She even didn't ask how bat it was, any coherent thought was vanished now as she headed to the hospital or better the Hospital tent as the original Hospital was destroyed like anyone else. With more fears then hopes she entered the tent the Soldier mentioned...

Elven soldiers picked up the broken Francis. They took him to a skilled Elven High Mage of healing. The wounds Francis suffer where terrible. The mage looked at the assembled officers. "I can save him but there is a price. Someone will have to give up their life to save his."

As they took Francis to the mage to get him healed, Steel Guard Commander Henry Ludwigsen had a heavy heart and mind as he heard the extent of the injuries Lord Francis had received with the battle against Maximilian. Upon hearing that one of the them had to give his or her life to save their fallen commander, Henry spoke up. "I'll do it. This man has saved me countless times before during this war so this is the least I can do for him. Just give me a few moments to say goodbye to my friend." As the others left Henry alone with the crippled body of Francis Henry spoke to his fallen friend. "You knew it was going to come down to the two of us, Francis. The Battle of the Steel Pass proved that when it was only us that made it out alive after losing our guard of friends and family in that retreat. You tried to sacrifice yourself so the others could live, but we knew you were too important for the war to die as it stands still the same today. I just hope with this death of mine you will find peace and that you'll end this war for our people. Goodbye my friend." With that Henry signaled for the Mage to begin the process while he made peace with himself.

When she enter the hospital tent she saw wounded and dying Elves everywhere. She search until she saw Alastair getting his head bandage up. Alastair saw Nemet and smiled. "Funny to met you in a place like this."

The Elven High mage began the spell. Life energy flowed from the Steel Commander to Lord Francis. Lord Francis wounds closed and blood disapear. Henry got to see his sacrifice was not in vain. As the last wound closed and Francis began to breath on his own, Henry felt the need to close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, he never open them again in this world. His spirit departed his body and began it trip to another place....His final duty fullfilled.

Never in her life she was reliefed like that, if not for the head bandage and all the audience she would grabed him at the spot.
So she managed only a honest smile, still with tears in her eyes.
" For a second, when I saw the command vehicle I really thought it would be over..." She couldn't end the sentence and literally collapsed into his arms...

Alastair caught her and carried her to the bed. The Elven doctor checking to see if she was alright. Alastair stay close with her.

As Francis woke from his wounds and near death experience, he was transported to the makeshift command center in the old cathedral were he was placed in intensive care. While he started to recover from his wounds and experience, Francis slept much and was in and out of consciousness due to the nature of the spell that saved him. When he awoken again, he found himself in a makeshift room surrounded by his family several leaders from the alliance. As he regained his focus, Francis tried to understand what had happened and what was going on.

Alastair caught her and carried her to the bed. The Elven doctor checking to see if she was alright. Alastair stay close with her.

She never let his hand go while she waited. " You know, you gave me probably the shock of my love, I know it's uneventable but please promise that you will be more careful yes ? I don't think I would survive it to burry you before it's your time..." She had still tears on her face and a penetrant voice in her head demand that she would follow him everywhere to make sure that he would not head into the next battle and died in it...

Francis wives where crying and hugging him. His whole family was there including his two daughters. Most of the Elven leadership turn away to give Francis a moment with his wives. The Warforge leader looked on with a almost curosity.

Alastair pick her up and carried her to his new makeshift tent she would rest with him. Inside the Elves, always one for comfort had a nice soft bed and a warm title floor. Alastair laid Nemet there and laid next to her. "Now we can recover together." He said with a smile.

Instead of an answer she only snuggled closer to the general, melting in the security his strong arms offered her and knowing that he was still there, alive and with nearly full health. Whatever the future would held for her, he would be a part of it...

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

Francis wives where crying and hugging him. His whole family was there including his two daughters. Most of the Elven leadership turn away to give Francis a moment with his wives. The Warforge leader looked on with a almost curiosity.

Hugging his family back, Francis was still trying to make sense of what had happened to him. As he looked around, he spoke up to see what was going on. "What the hell happened to me? The last thing I remember I was battling Maximilian as his forces were retreating. Are we in Steel Harbor because I thought you all stayed there while I left. And where is everyone else at?" As Francis paused for a moment, he was still trying to make sense of everything as his body and mind were still feeling shocked from the energy transfer and he was still feeling war weariness from beforehand.

His wives kiss him and hugged him for a long while. Vera and Amirra put Akoradia and Isabella in front of him. They both attempt to smile at him.

Seeing his family was trying to divert his questions, Francis lifted himself up as he spoke up to everyone within the room. "I understand yes I love you all too, but I need to know what happen. What was the damage done to our forces and to Maximilian? And how did I end up here banged up and almost dead from the looks of it. I need answers.....wait, I see the Elven commanders here but were is Steel Commander Henry?"

Sadly part of Alastair mind. The young wild part, wanted to have some fun with Franciska. Unfortunately it was overrided by the rest of him that was planly exhasted and tired. He laid next to her and enjoy being next to her in peace.

During the night her tears brushed away in the warmth that the body of her love offered. She was engulfed with the feeling of security, knowing that her worst was not going to be reality, at least for now. However the thought of losing him had hurt her, more than she ever imagined but at the same time it also strengthen their relationship to a point where she would pledge her life for him if necessary. She was truly in love with him, with hearth, body and soul...

Prince Andy spoke up the words no one wanted to say. "Commander Henry is dead." He said with a solum voice.

When Franciska awoke Alastair was not in the bed. As she looked for him, Franciska saw Alastair enter the tent with a tray and some warm food for them. He place the tray on top of her on the bed with a smile. "Enjoy some breakfast my love." He said with a smile.

She returned the smile but there was still worry noticeable on her face. They would have to discuss this but first her stomach was on rampage. So she took good use of the food. When she was finished she relaxed into the pillows before she steeled herself for what would come now...

As Franciska relaxed, Alastair took a moment to relax and eat. As he finished his food and tea, he notice she had a worried look on her face. "Franciska whats wrong?"

[Valorono]

Maximilian's soldiers were on the verge of routing the Crown Alliance forces in Greens-Town when the southern flank of the host was hit by the gleaming sight of the 1st Steel Legion and the Elven forces. With the amount of force and power those armies brought together, the southern flank completely faltered and routed as the rest of the Crown Alliance began one last desperate attempt to drive Maximilian and his armies out of Greens-Town and the Steel Valley.

With fire in his eyes and his sword and pistol in hand, Francis yelled at the man that had caused so much death and pain for him over these last ten years. "You bastard dog! I will end this war now and avenge all of those that have died by your hand. Back to the depths of Hell Maximilian!" Against the will of his own honor guard, Francis charged towards Maximilian and engaged him in combat. Fighting with rage and pure instinct, Francis managed to wound Maximilian in the battle as he used his pistol to shot part of his arm off. As Francis went in for the kill, however, Maximilian conjured enough magic to blast Francis away from him and into a pit of mines set by the Phoenixian's. Even though Francis was superhuman in almost every way, the blasts from the mines were enough to riddle his armor and body with enough wounds to cause him from fighting any longer. As he laid near a destroyed tank bleeding out and dying, his sight began to haze as he saw several allies coming towards him and the sight of Maximilian retreating into the mountains.

As the battle ended with the retreat of Maxamilian troops the Valo army was in a state of chaos. The army had lost an over all 10 million strong in this fight. Leaving them with about 21 million troops. Many of whom were wounded. Dimitri got on a phone with his step brother Ceasere to discuss the arrangements.
"Hello Ceasere?" Dimitri said" Yeas, its me. So i have a plan for what we are going to do. "Oh yeah whats that?" Ceasere replied. "You will rule as regent of Valorono until I Return. But what I need from you is for all the new recruits. take half and divide them by two one half goes to the navy, the other half goes to the Air Force. The 50% will be sent over here. as groundforce. That sound good bro?" Dimitri said as he waited for a response. "That sounds good. I'll get on it right away." Ceasere said. "And also we are going to need more food, clothes, bears and horses. Can you do that for me." Yes sir" Ceasere said sarcastically. "And also Ceasere. Expect me at your wedding when this is all over." Dimitri said with a laugh. He hung up. The army would stay in Greens town and help repair while they waited to be airlifted supplies and reinforcements along with tanks, artillery, and cavalry. Dimitri decided to go up into the mountains along with s group of about ten he hand picked with special operations. It included the grenadier captain back from the city, Three Marines, a high ranking Cossack rider,2 bear riders, 2 Muscovy Defenders, and the best sniper in the valo army. For there task was not simple. They were looking for Maxamilian himself. They began patroling the mountains around 6AM. Unaware what they would discover.

As Franciska relaxed, Alastair took a moment to relax and eat. As he finished his food and tea, he notice she had a worried look on her face. "Franciska whats wrong?"

Normally she would have tried to keep it a normal conversation but the wounds where to deep for it this time.
" What's wrong ? WHATS WRONG ? YOUR COMMAND VEHICLE BURNET OUT, YOU WERE IN HOSPITAL, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AND YOU ASK ME WHATS WRONG ?" Her anger vanished as soon as it started and was replaced but pure sorrow.
" I thought you were dead, I thought all the hopes for a better future were destroyed. That''s what wrong, I love you way to much that's what wrong. I can't help but I will be in death panic everytime you are into battle, that's what wrong." She couldn't hold back her tears and wrapped herself into the blanket...

Alastair held her on the bed. "I understand and I was worried for you. If you want I can ask the High Command to replace me and I can take a staff job. Away from dannger if you want my love? I will do anything to not make your worry or cry." He said with a smile as he held her.
