The Liberation of the Imperium (Closed RP)

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

The women all look at Francis with approval 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.

As they all relaxed in their tent, Francis felt the hate and passion flow out of him as he played with Isabella and Akoradria. He felt at peace being with his family even as he know he would be heading into hell itself in the Steel Pass. After spending time with his children and helping them go to bed, Francis went back to the living room to help cook dinner as he relaxed more.

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...

Alastair smile and kiss her back. He guide her back to the bed. The food would go cold and the bed heated up.

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.

Prince Russell nodded in agreement. "That's a good suggestion, I'll go do that now," he said, walking off. As his brother left King Tiberius conversed with the Imperian Emperor. "It seems a bit odd how quickly this war seems to be going, at least to me," the young king observed. "What do you think, Your Majesty?" He asked.

Alastair smile and kiss her back. He guide her back to the bed. The food would go cold and the bed heated up.

She marveled at the head and closeness the bed provided, if she could she would stay all day there and at least this morning she could do this. As soon as the tray was empty she began to cuddle with her love.
" I really hope we can do that one day without the sorrows of war and all this shit. Only us and our children." It was so clear in front of her eyes and alone the thought warmed her hearth...

Alastair smile. "It is a dream I hope to make a reality with you soon." Alastair then touch Franciska stomach. "I belive perhaps we have already laid the foundation of that dream now." Alastair wasn't sure but he hopped Franciska was carrying his child. There was ways to find out, but he would let her give him the news.

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

The women looked at Francis and smile. The family help to make dinner. Then they all enjoy the dinner. While they where eating dinner. The girls began to flirt with Francis and each other.

As they ate dinner, Francis could see that his wives were being a bit more romantic and flirty as he began to speak up. "Well my loves. it seems you are all more flirty tonight then usual. I wonder why?" As Francis continued to enjoy dinner, he let his wives have their fun with the flirting and romance. Although he tried to keep a calm face, his mind was focused on the battle at hand and the real possibility of him not coming back.

She knew this look he gave her now. " A dollar for your thoughts, it's some pleasant I know it but... What is it ?"

She knew this look he gave her now. " A dollar for your thoughts, it's some pleasant I know it but... What is it ?"

"Well I was wondering if you where carrying my child now. And what names we should pick for the child." He said with a smile.

[Kingdom of Phoenixia]

"Well I was wondering if you where carrying my child now. And what names we should pick for the child." He said with a smile.

She blushed a bit after this comment. " Well the period is delayed by a few days, nothing to worry but still... As for names, how is that if we got a boy you can name him, if it's a girl I name her, we can change with every child so everyone got the same chance ?"

While all the commanders were back at the Imperium, Shatner, who was taken as a hostage, was currently being held for ransom. On a very big and global video sharing site, Shatner was being broadcasted live on it. His captors, were holding a machete to his neck. He was tied up to a beam in the middle of the room with his mouth covered and eyes blind folded.
" Canadian government. Your discriminate actions to liberate the Imperium was a fatal mistake." Said a captor with a German accent
"You will pay for what you have done to all foreign interest. Revolution is here, and we will not stop until each last pro-government Canadian is dead. We are growing in numbers, Power, and Intellectuality." He said again.
After that moment, The feed was interrupted and all electronics motherboards were fried. Planes were falling out of the sky, and no one knew what was happening.

Prince Russell nodded in agreement. "That's a good suggestion, I'll go do that now," he said, walking off. As his brother left King Tiberius conversed with the Imperium Emperor. "It seems a bit odd how quickly this war seems to be going, at least to me," the young king observed. "What do you think, Your Majesty?" He asked.

Listening to King Tiberius speak, Emperor Tiberius thought for a few moments before he responded back with his thoughts on the whole war. "You are correct in the sense that we have only been here for a little over eight weeks and we have already secured almost the entire western half of the Imperium from Maximilian. However, after this last battle I fear that Maximilian has plans that will drag out this war far deeper then anyone thought could be possible. And with us losing Lord Shatner and the majority of the RC forces due to their civil war back home, this war will probably become longer as we are now down a nation to support us."

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

"Well we love you and we were hoping to spend the night with you please." Anala spoke for all of them.

Listening to Anala's comment, Francis could only smile as he knew to what his wives wanted to do that night. After pondering his thoughts for several moments, Francis spoke up. "Anala, as much as I would love for all of us to have a romantic night, I feel that tonight wouldn't be the best as my mind has too much to focus on with the battle coming tomorrow. Not trying to be mean to any of you, but I just want this night to be peaceful as I need to have a clear head for the battle. And no, begging me will not work no matter how hard you all try." As Francis finished, he knew he was lying about the romance, but he wanted to make it clear to his wives that he wanted this night to be peaceful.

As the meeting ended Dimitri decided to go prepare for the infiltration. He wouldn't be able to take nearly any weapons along for this trip. He put a Knife in his boot and packed a satchel with his disguise in it, along with c4. If he was caught he was surely a dead man. He knew that this mission would mean life our death. Before he went he told General Rasputin about his plan, and warned him not to repeat his actions as he did during the last battle. So he head off determined to see his plan through.

[Kingdom of Phoenixia]

Over most of the day busy activity were to see all over the camp, only a small area was the exception. The camp of the III Special Batalion 'Gryphon'. No one knows much about them and no one want to ask. Gryphon Riders were a enigma, even for the Phoenixians who are accustomed to Dragons and all kinds of strange races including speaking Ponnies.
But they had the best reputation for stealth missions for a reason. No one could fly quieter, no one was more stealthy and no one was more trustworthy than a gryphon rider, ones you gain their trust of course.
Crownprince Frederik Eirikson knew all this and more when he headed to the camp later this day, accompanied by 5 elven mages, 3 female and 2 male.
The assigned men for this task allready waited. " About time sire, we got only a few hours till nightfall and this is the best time for us riders. I don't want to waste a second of it." Major Lars Tomson didn't saw the need to introduce himself, he never did. This was one of the strange customs the riders got over the time. No one without a bond got their names ones they are bonded. This was for safety reasons but also to underline the exclusivity of the bond they shared.
" Yes I know but tell that the elf noblicity, no offense." He added to the 5 mages. " Is everything prepared ?"
" Aye sire, we can start within a few minutes. Nothing in the plan changed ? Deploy the mages and buy them a hour to prepare for the ritual ?"
" Exactly we need to make sure that the preparations are not discovered till tomorrow evening. Can you do that ?"
" Sire, this is an insult on our competence, anyone but you would be death right now. We have done tasks on a complete other difficult level easily."
" Don't underestimate Maximilian, finish this job at the best you can. I know you're batalion is the best."
" And right you are sire." The Major proclaimed proudly. 'fly high, fly fast, fly proud' the motto of the battalion was well choosen and even the regular army feared the riders for good reasons.
Only a few minutes later the Gryphons were out of view, only the footprints remind the Prince that they were ever here...

Listening to Anala's comment, Francis could only smile as he knew to what his wives wanted to do that night. After pondering his thoughts for several moments, Francis spoke up.

As Francis finished, he knew he was lying about the romance, but he wanted to make it clear to his wives that he wanted this night to be peaceful.

Anala smiled and hugged Francis. Letting feel their child inside her. The Girls lead Francis to the bed and laid down with him peacefully. They cuddle with him and let him rest in peace.

As the various members of the Crown Alliance prepared their forces for the upcoming battle of Kingsmarch, the surrounding area was veiled in an energy of suspense and fear. Even with the recent defeats of Maximilian's forces by the Crown Alliance, the local Imperium citizens knew the feeling that both Kingsmarch and the Steel Pass would become blood-baths as these cities had never fallen to foreign invasion and were some of the most defended cities in the world. Between the plans the Phoenixians and Valoronians were making in concerns to taking the outer city of Kingsmarch to the Elves and Constannians preparing their forces for the brunt of the fight for the mountain city of Kingsmarch, the majority of the Crown Alliance was set to have their forces ready and move out within the next 48 hours. However, it would be Lord Francis and the 1st Steel Legion that would lead the first attack on the Steel Pass as they readied themselves for the battle.

As the forces of the Crown Alliance were busy getting ready for their operations, however, Maximilian and his forces wasted no time in fortifying the two mountain cities of Kingsmarch and the Steel Pass. As his forces prepared for the oncoming attacks, Maximilian himself decided to stay at Kingsmarch as he thought the Imperium forces would attack there and not at the Steel Pass. With the Sisterhood as his side, he began to channel dark energy into his forces and defenses while also playing the civilians of Kingsmarch to attack any Crown Alliance troops. Over at the Steel Pass, however, the forces were told to be a bit more relaxed as they knew their defenses would hold off any attack that the Crown Alliance or Lord Francis could bring against them. As the final days before the battles wind down, both the forces of Maximilian and the Crown Alliance awaited in anticipation to see who would cast the first attack.

As Dimitri made it to within five miles within the city limits he changed into his disguise and brought up a oxen drawn cart that was full of fruits and vegitables, with c4 in the center. As he made it to the gates of the city he was halted by a city guard whom asked him what his business was. Dimitri replied "i am bringing my crop to sell at market." Dimitri said in the Imperium Language. He hoped the guard could not see past his accent as he waited for the guards response.

The Gryphons landed 2 hours after nightfall, two days after the battle of Greenstown.It was quiet, far too quiet for a City of this size. Tomson was a man who survived far more subtile traps but it was necessary. as everything depend on the question if they could buy enough time for the mages so that they can set the marks for the ritual.
15 men were heading to the different buildings in a quiet side street, knocking out the citizens without problems while 5 men stayed with the mages, securing the street...

[Brotherhood Steel the 2nd]

Anala smiled and hugged Francis. Letting feel their child inside her. The Girls lead Francis to the bed and laid down with him peacefully. They cuddle with him and let him rest in peace.

The Prelude

As the night was a peaceful one between them all, Francis was able to focus his mind on the battle for tomorrow as he needed to. After a long and restful night with his family, Francis awoken before his wives could. Placing on his armor, Francis kissed his still sleeping children and wives goodbye as he headed out of the tent and towards an awaiting APC. Heading out with 3 million Steel Guards, Francis and the first Legion made their way to the outskirts of the outer city of the Steel Pass. The Steel Pass outer city itself was a formidable structure of defense for any army to face, but the real challenge would lay in the inner mountain city of the Steel Pass. As his forces lined up and as the artillery barrage began against the two cities, Francis watched on as his plan began to unfold for the battle of the Steel Pass.

---

The Beginning of the Attack

With the artillery barrage working effectively against the outer city of the Steel Pass, Lord Francis began to have his troops charge into the outer city; meeting little resistance from either the defenders or the civilians in the outer-city. Overall, the first battle only lasted about several hours for the outer city of the Steel Pass before Lord Francis's troops were marching into the city to shore up its own defenses and set up base. As he re-organized his troops for their second battle, Francis had the artillery of both the outer city and of his own forces begin to hammer down on the mountain entrance to the Steel Pass. As the artillery barrage commenced, Francis knew it would be a couple of days before there would be any signs of strain on the mountain defenses. Taking up residence on one of the overlooking towers, Francis watched on as his plan continued to unfold.

---

The Charge

After almost of an entire week of his artillery hammering down on the defenses of the entrance to the mountain city of the Steel Pass, Francis was able to notice that the defenses into the mountain were beginning to crumble. Rallying the entire 1st Steel Legion outside of the outer-city, Francis readied his troops for their attack. As the artillery continued on, Francis spoke to the entire Legion. "Countrymen of the Imperium, listen to me. In a few moments the defenses of the Steel Pass will fall to us and we will be unleashed onto the forces of the damn traitor in Maximilian. This is our chance to rid this half of the Imperium of his stench and allow us to liberate the rest of our homeland. We need to take the Steel Pass and we cannot fail at any costs. We will push on and we will win this. Now men and women of the Imperium, for liberty and for our homes! Charge!" With that last bit of encouragement, the forces of the 1st Steel Legion charged towards the mountain city of the Steel Pass as the last of its defenses fell.

The Battle for the Steel Pass

As the forces of Maximilian and the Steel Legion clashed within the mountain city of the Steel Pass itself, the battle become one of street to street and block to block fighting. Fighting inside of a mountain city was never the best as their was little space to maneuver or to overwhelm the enemy. Still, Francis and the Steel Legion would spend the next week in the mountain fighting for every inch to drive out Maximilian's forces. As the battle progressed, both sides took heavy losses due to the nature of the warfare, but the momentum was on Francis's side as his forces had probably the best commander within the entire Crown Alliance leading them forward. Finally, after over two weeks of intense fighting in the mountain, the Steel Legion and Francis managed to push Maximilian's forces out and secure the Steel Pass once and for all. Even though it cost Francis and the Legion almost 3 million men and women to do so, they finally had an entrance into the Eastern Imperium.

---

The Aftermath

Heading back to camp, Francis had changed into a completely different person while he was fighting in the Steel Pass. His demons that he had been fighting for so long seemed to have disappeared as he had come to terms with the past and accepted the sacrifices that his friends and family had made all of those years ago back in the mountain. Heading to his tent, Francis took his bloodied armor off and flopped onto the bed tired, not noticing his wives or children were not there at the time.

As Dimitri made it to within five miles within the city limits he changed into his disguise and brought up a oxen drawn cart that was full of fruits and vegetables, with C4 in the center. As he made it to the gates of the city he was halted by a city guard whom asked him what his business was. Dimitri replied "I am bringing my crop to sell at market." Dimitri said in the Imperium Language. He hoped the guard could not see past his accent as he waited for the guards response.

As the guard commander looked over Dimitri's cart and listened to him speak, he guard was a bit surprised with his accent. Looking over Dimitri, the guard commander spoke up. "Tell me, what region do you hail from, sir? I ask because there is only one region in the entire Western Imperium that still has the weather climates to still be growing this time of year." As the commander waited for Dimitri to answer, several others guards showed up ready to intercept Dimitri if he was to answer wrong or show ill-will.

While things were being sorted out at the Imperium with Crown alliance, Things got even worst in RC. The admiral of the navy, Joseph Shwartzkopf, ordered all naval vessels to leave the Imperiums sea and head back to RC. Needing that they had to provide air support in which a civil war they were loosing. The rebels, who some how acquired anti-air, anti-tank, and anti-ship missiles, were using them at will. They also have combat uniforms, making themselves seem more like an army, though, they have no a navy or air force. When an aircraft carrier, from RC's 1st fleet arrived in RC waters, It was met with a barrage of missiles, crippling it. No doubt now the Canadian military stability was crumbling .

"I come from the city port of Serov. I have travel all across the imperium as a merchant, which is the reason I have acquired such an accent. I recently settled down not far from here. As for the crops I have growing them under florescent lights designed to grow produce indoors. The reason I have so much is because I have a very large basement. Now please, can you let me in I have to sell these before they start rotting." Dimitri said anxiously in Imperium.

Listening to Dimitri speak, the guard waved him passed as he had given the correct region and city. Walking past the guards, Dimitri was now fully aware of the surroundings that were offered to him. Seeing that it was midday almost, Dimitri took his cart to the Market area as he prepared for his next move and action.
