The Liberation of the Imperium (Closed RP)

[Kingdom of Phoenixia]

"I will order men from other divisions to gather that equipment and reequip for the fight. If you supply trainners as well that would great." Celanor said with hope in his eye.

" Sure that can be managed, it will be a crashcourse but that should be sufficient, I mean we are not heading into the Nordic Mountains for Odins sake. However I will let the equipment send to her, we should be ready within a week.
Also I will call my last reserves from Steel Harbor, Conscripts are on the way to guard the City as a replacement."

"Good then it settle. Now we need to figure a way into those dam cities." Celanor said looking at the map.

"Good then it settle. Now we need to figure a way into those dam cities." Celanor said looking at the map.

" For the outer cities we can still use the old plan, for Kingsmarsh we have the hidden entrances as for Steelpass we need to use the bloody way. Tanks and Mages cracking the door and fighting our trough the damn Mountain. That's where we will need the help of the elven Army..."

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

Dimitri spoke up "Well wait right there, I'm pretty unorthodox and as you know I can be crazy enough to do this. My plan is not to impersonate a guard, it is only to get inside the city. My plan is to pose as a poorly farmer farmer selling goods at market. Inside the cart and under some fruit, there will be enough C4 explosives to blow various holes in the walls so our forces have a way to get in during the attack. Also if I may make a suggestion, if we do carry out this plan I would suggest either a night attack or an early morning attack that way the enemy will be in darkness when investigating the explosions only furthering our advantage, with the elves ability to see better in dark than us." Dimitri said as he explained his plan.

Listening to Dimitri's suggested plan, Francis spoke up to address it. "Dimitri, my friend, your plan would work in the outer town of Kingsmarch as they are still heavily relied on a farmer based market for trade. However, with the inner mountain cities that plan would never work and at the Steel Pass all bets are off as that city is a hell in it self. However, we can discuss your plan more in depth for Kingsmarch as we get the others back on board with this meeting." As such, Francis turned to the leaders again and addressed all conversations to him as they all needed to focus on a clear plan of attack now for both cities.

Looking at all of the leaders for the Crown Alliance again, Francis spoke up. "Well, seeing as everyone has their ideas mostly sorted out, we need to refocus our attention into one sound method of attack for both Kingsmarch and for the Steel Pass. As far as for the Steel Pass, that battle is going to have to be a convectional battle and there is no way around that. Now, we can you either Dimitri's plan or the Elven portals for the outer cities of both Kingsmarch and the Steel Pass while using the secret passages in Kingsmarch to our advantage. However, before we go any deeper into this, I am letting you all know that I will be leading the attack on the Steel Pass and there will be no further discussion on that matter as I have the most experience with that city. Besides, we are going to have to divide the alliance forces up between both cities as trying to take one at a time will take too long."

As he paused for a moment to regain his focus, Francis's head filled back up with the horrific memories of his battles at the Steel Pass over the last ten years of this war. Regaining his focus, Francis continued to speak. "As such with this attack, I will lead the attack on the Steel Pass while the rest of you focus on Kingsmarch. I will be taking Kingsmarch alone with the 1st Steel Legion as having anymore forces will only bog down my tactics in that battle. As such, my forces will leave tomorrow as I will allow you all to discuss a plan for Kingsmarch. And I will only say this once, do not send your forces to aid me as it will only bring unwanted pain. That battle is to be mine and mine alone." As Francis finished, his eyes were livid with passion and his matter was one of someone hell bent on diving into hell itself to kill the devil. He would take the Steel Pass himself as it was his battle alone.

"Francis I beg you to reconsider, no offense but your force have no chance in a fight like that. Please allow at least one of us to come and help you in your assault. Even to me that sounds like suicide. And as you know i've done some cray stuff during this war. Now I suggest you go get a coffee and rethink your desicion." Dimitri said in a careing tone

For the first time in the whole meeting the king really got angry. He jumped up as soon as Tsar Dimitri was done. " You know perfectly that this is suicide Sir and I will not allow this ! Take my best men with you, I will put them under your command but take them. You are a to good commander to die like that and you are our damn Galleon Figure in the Empire, Empire Tiberius is all fine and well but you are a War Hero, the people trust you and with your death you wouldn't help our cause not in the slightest !"

Jaaera , Andy and Celanor look shocked at Francis words. Jaaera spoke up. "Francis you can't do that alone let the rest of us support you. You'll be walking into a death trap. Don't do it ..my..lo." She started , but stop to start crying. Andy look at Francis. "Francis are you nutz the place isa fortress you'll be wasting tons of live on a foolish attack. Don't do it."

Prince Russell smiled. "She's doing quite well, and the child is developing well. We still don't know whether she'll give birth to a boy or a girl, although truth be told I have my fingers crossed for a son," Russell said, chuckling some as his older brother and sister-in-law came up to them. "Ah, it's good to see you all," King Tiberius said with a smile.

Listening to Russell, Emperor Tiberius was relieved to hear that Leona was doing fine and that the child was developing well. After listening to Russell speak, Tiberius went over and greeted King Tiberius and Queen Marina before he spoke again. "Well, knowing Leona, she would want a baby girl first Russell as she was my only daughter. Either way, however, I'm sure the baby will make both of you happy. Oh the war side of things, you did well last week in your power armor and with Skullcrusher. However, you should go see the Imperium mechanics to re-tune your armor after that bout you had with that tank division." As he waited for Russell to respond, Emperor Tiberius engaged in light conversation with King Tiberius and Queen Marina; mostly thanking them for their support in the battle from the week prior.

[RebeliousCanada]

Meanwhile, In RebeliousCanada, The Communist pushed revolt got much more intense. There were firefights in the streets, Tanks being blown up, and bombs going off in the capital. Shatner watched the onslaught from his F22. Shatner, who was an ex army pilot, Decided to help out his allies on the ground. But soon enough, The rebels spotted his name on the side of the F22, "Major Gen. 'Devil fighter' Shatner.". There was flak 88s mounted on top of buildings opening fire at him. He tried to avoid it, but the rebels had Streala AAs. He was hit and his left engine was blown apart. Spinning out of control, He was able to strafe about 40 men before crashing. The way he landed the jet onto the ground made it seem devastating, But in reality, He was okay. He climbed out of the cockpit, 3,000 Rebels were advancing on his position. Shatner, who was only armed with a revolver, began to run towards a concrete bunker with a mounted 50.cal. But he was ambushed by his own people. As of now, Shatner is a POW in the hands of the enemy.

As Francis listened to his allies and friends plead for him to reconsider his actions and thoughts, Francis felt a side of him built up that he hadn't felt in many years. As the comments drew closer and closer, it got to the point were Francis couldn't hold it in any longer. Barely after his wife Jaaera spoke and his friend Prince Andy spoke also, Francis completely went off on the entire Crown Alliance. "ENOUGH! I AM THE SUPREME COMMANDER OF THIS ALLIANCE AND THAT IS A DIRECT ORDER TO YOU ALL! NOW SIT DOWN AND KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTHS SHUT!" Banging his fists against the table, Francis managed to shatter the table completely as the other leaders took several steps back away from him before he continued on. Francis was going to speak his mind as he didn't care what the others thought at this point as it was his command and his army that would be fighting this battle. "As I stated once at the very beginning, we are to do things my way when it comes to battle and this directly applies. None of you, and I mean none of you, have experience in that type of warfare that have faced in the Steel Pass or will face. The soldiers of the Steel Legion are the only ones qualified to go against that force in the Steel Pass as I will not allow you all to suffer insurmountable death at that city. This city and more importantly, the forces defending it, are none that I wish upon even my worse enemies and yet I am the only one to defeat them in combat. The Legion and I will take the Steel Pass alone as my soldiers knew this risk when they all signed up. Now, I am leaving tonight with my Legion unassisted by any of you, PERIOD! If any of you try to follow me or my forces to the Steel Pass, I will have my forces fire upon you for failing your orders. This is a battle I NEED AND WILL face alone. I leave you all the best of luck for Kingsmarch, but don't any of you dare to stop me or follow me." With that, Francis left the room as he headed to the already assembled 1st Steel Legion as they begun their trek north to the Steel Pass. To dis-encourage anyone from following him or his men, Francis had the only accessible roads and bridges leading to the Steel Pass either sealed off or destroyed. This was a battle Francis needed to face alone and win alone.

The king stood up, smashing his chair to the ground. No one, not even his commander would talk to him like that. " Well SIR if you want to get killed so be it, but don't think I will attend your funeral. You are digging your own grave if you refuse help.
C'mon Gentlemen, we have a marsh to prepare, I will not loose one man to this idiocy so we will heading to Kings Marsh and after that we can drop the rests of what will be leaved from the Legion."
Lady Német was more then a bit of shocked. She had studied the battle of the steel pass, she know how many men Lord Kissinger has lost but still she couldn't understand why he did such a thing. She only headed back to the reality when she feeled a known presence beneath her.

As Francis march a portal open in front of him. Out of the portal pop all of his wives. All of them had the look of anger on their face. Vera walk up to Francis and slap him hard. "Francis how dare you march yourslef off to die for some stupid vendetta. What are you doing? " Vera then looked at his body guards with the look You better not interfer or you will regret it. Electricty crackle from Vera as she looked at Francis. She was in a word pissed.

Electricity crackle from Vera as she looked at Francis. She was in a word pissed.

Seeing the portal pop up in-front of him only signaled to Francis that it was the Elves. Having his guards draw their weapons, Francis was surprised to see his wives pop up from the portal. Before he could even speak, he was slapped by Vera as he listened to her speak in anger over his actions. Letting her finish, Francis tried his best to speak in a calm tone to his wives. "The four of you need to stay out of this. You all know I need to face these demons alone otherwise I will be haunted for my entire life. Go back to Steel Harbor now and don't follow me. This is my battle alone and not yours. Don't try to stop me I have made up my mind." It was killing Francis inside to do this to his loves, but he knew he had to face this battle alone to become at peace with himself. Not looking towards his wives, Francis began to march past them with the Steel Legion.

Vera would not stop her venom. "Francis Kissinger come and face me now..Damm you." She casted a spell and pulled him over to her. Before her could react he had a little baby but in his arms. It was Akoradia. Vera then spoke her fury now replace by sorrow. "Francis I want my daughter to see her father for the last time." He then had another baby put in his arms. Isabella. Amirra then spoke. "I want my daughter to see her father too before he marches off to his death." Anala then hug him letting Francis feel their child in her. Jaaera did know yet but she too carry Francis legacy in her womb as well. She just stood back. She knew a warriors trials, but she was still sadden to see Francis match off to certain death.

As Francis's wives showed him his daughters and spoke of how this was the last time they would see their father alive, it struck several nerves of steel and anger in him. Listening to his wives made him only want to prove to them that he would survive and live through this battle. Looking at his tow daughters, Francis kissed them in the foreheads before he handed them to Vera and Amirra. After which, she spoke to them all. "I thought when we married one another, we all become one and said we would never doubt one another. But it seems you all have your doubts in my abilities to face my demons and take this city. So as such, whether you all like it or not, you're all coming with me and the Steel Legion to the Steel Pass and watch as we win this battle. I know I cannot lose and I will not lose this battle as I am now hell bent to prove to you all to trust my judgement. I'd suggest you all get yourselves comfortable because we aren't stopping until we get to camp tomorrow night." With that Francis helped his wives into the APC as he had his forces continue their march towards their base camp set up outside of the Steel Pass cities.

[Kingdom of Phoenixia]

Shaking his head the king headed to his part of the camp, preparing his troops for the marsh against the mountain cities.

Meanwhile the Crownprince prepared for a complete different task, he would prepare 20 Gryphons and their riders for a task that would decide the whole battle. He would let the operation against the outer skirts of Kingsmarsh personally. There was no discussion about this and no one of his men would argue about that. ' If you have a difficult task at hand do it yourself.' That was on of the most important Phrases the officers learn in their training. He had done this task before but not under this pressure. However he was accustomed to pressure.

At the other side of the Camp General, soon to be high commander, Alastair and Franciska were already in a discussion about the best mages for the task at hand, however nobody was really interested on it so it took only 15 minutes.
" So we agree thas this ones are the best one for transportation magic ?" It were the second stack of files about persons Alastair draw out from his desk.

"Yes there the best we could gather in the time allowed. They can open the biggest portal as necessary. They will not fail my love." Alastair said with a smile.

"Yes there the best we could gather in the time allowed. They can open the biggest portal as necessary. They will not fail my love." Alastair said with a smile.

She sighted out in relief when she withdraw the 5 files.
" Very well then, I think the work is done then. I will send the details to Crownprince Frederik tomorrow, that should give him enough time to select his men as well."
She closed the distance to a few more inchs.
" So that gives us plenty of time, I think we should it qualified don't you agree my love ?"

Alastair smiled and grabbed Franciska and threw her on the bed. Alastair began to undress as he approach the bed.

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

The ladies nodded and followed their husband. They would be at his side no matter what hell he faced.

As the 1st Steel Legion and Francis and his wives moved forward, they were faced with rough mountain roads and sporadic snow storms as they made their trek to the camp. After two more days on the road, the 1st Steel Legion made their way to the camp that was set up several miles outside of the range of the Steel Pass. An impressive city in its own right, the Steel Legion Camp housed enough equipment to feed and house the 5 million men of the Legion and support staff. As the other soldiers and commanders headed to their sub-camps to rest for the afternoon, Francis directed his wives over to several large staff tents that would be their home for the time being. While it look small on the outside, Francis had learned enough about magic to bend reality to make the tent feel homely and large for his family. Sitting down on the couch, Francis proceeded to drink some coffee as he let his feet unravel from the long trek.

The women all look at Francis with aprroval and join him on the couch. Amirra and Verakacha let Francis play with the babies, while the rest sat comfortable and looked at Francis smiling. Anala moved up and closed and lock the flap of the tent to give the family more privacy.

[Kingdom of Phoenixia]

Alastair smiled and grabbed Franciska and threw her on the bed. Alastair began to undress as he approach the bed.

During the next hours it proved the right decission for Franciska to leave the active command. Both of them would be safe behind the front-lines. Unbeknown to both of them there were already a second good reason why they need to lay back from the active command.

She awoke early the next day, leaving a smiling Alastair in his reverie. She took the time to scribble a short notice before she headed out of the tent to search for the Crownprince.

Said Crownprince was already ready with his preparations.
" You took long Commander, I hope the work is worth it ?"
" Absolutely sir, we found the five perfect matches for Kingsmarsh. You should inform Prince Celanor about that as soon as possible."
" You are on the way to the camp either way no ? So we could save time."
" Sir, you know exactly why I don't like him. Despite of this it's your operation." Truth to be told she don't want to deal with the prince right now, especially knowing that Alastair would wake up any second.
So she hurried to grab a tray with food and headed back to the tent she shared with her love...

Alastair woke out of his reverie to find Franciska gone. He was amaze by the recovery time that woman had. It was wonderful. HE got up still not clothed and looked at the message she left on the table.

Alastair woke out of his reverie to find Franciska gone. He was amaze by the recovery time that woman had. It was wonderful. HE got up still not clothed and looked at the message she left on the table.

She hurried to the camp as fast as the tray allowed. However when he arrived at the tent she found up and reading her message.
" Hey you, only making my job and deliver the names to the Crownprince and when I was near the kitchens I also organized breakfast. It was not as good as before the battle but both were accustomed to field kitchen so it don't really matter for them.
As soon as she had put the tray on a table, she greet him properly with a kiss...
