As no man with any honor would sit back and watch his men die as the beast on the throne did. One day though, that animal will be slaughtered. And there will be celebration. When Dimitri awoke from his nap there was a knocking on his door. A soldier came to invite him to a party being held at a local pub. Dimitri put on his clothes and went to the pub. He felt a bit refreshed. Yesterday was his birthday, he was 16 now. Though he looked to be 22 due to his height. He walked into the pub to hear the sounds of Valo Folk Music. He smiled as he sat down at a table with his mentor Voltaire. "How are things with the spec-ops units my friend?" Dimitri asked to the Assassin. "They are good, the men though are at a constant risk since they are being used as ground forces." Voltaire said as he sipped a mug of ale. "Well then I suppose the will need a mission. I want you and about two hundred spec-ops to infiltrate Steel Pass and report to me what the conditions of the inhabitants are. Can you do that my friend"? Dimitri asked as he looked over at Voltaire. "Yes Sir, it's funny the apprentice has become the master." "I am no master My old friend, I'm just the one on the throne." He said with a chuckle. Unaware to Dimitri Maximilian had a few supporters in Valorono, in all they numbered two hundred, they were enough however to storm the Palace and kill Prince Leonardo his wife Rebecca, Princess Maria and the old Tsar Xavier. Prince Ceasere survived, though suffered a gunshot wound to the arm. All of the group involved in the attack was executed via firing squad. The People Wanted Blood, They wanted nothing less than to see the Beast, Maximilian's nickname in Valorono, Burn slowly. A mass funeral was held for the slain four, over three million attended. This was the last straw for the people of Valorono.

As the storms continued to batter down Greens-Town, news slowly spread throughout the Imperium and the city of the recent events that had unfolded in Valorono. Emperor Tiberius was the first to hear the news as it arrived to their travelling convoy with the Constannian military and he felt grief stricken for the people of Valorono. While they were still a day away from entering Greens-Town, Emperor Tiberius made sure to pass his condolences from both his family and from the Constannians over to Dimitri and the people of Valorono. Meanwhile, in Greens-Town itself, Richard proceeded from his apartment over to were Dimitri was to try to comfort his friend. However, as he entered the bar he saw Dimitri drinking heavily as he walked up to him.
As the forces of the RC entered into Greens-Town, they were meet with warm beds and hard roofs as they took shelter from the cold and the brewing snow storm that was hammering the entire Steel Valley. As they set up camp and began to weather out the storm in the confines of Greens-Town, the leaders from the Crown Alliance that were already in Greens-Town decided to see if they could help one another in any way they could as they all were stuck in Greens-Town until the storm would pass.
