Der Ritterorden Invasion [DAR-Only, Closed]

[Darwinish Brentsylvania]

"Whatever," Darwin replied. "Your nonchalance about your own country being invaded, though, worries me."

[Hespero-Belkia]

David and Angela walked through the door. "Here we are!" David said. "Sorry we're slightly late."

"A certain Prime Minister hasn't fulfilled his campaign promise to make the trains run on time," Angela quipped. "He has, however, fulfilled his other promise."

"Building more giant robots," Akira finished her mom's sentence.

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

"Oh goodie! More things to blow up with half-primitive technology... I remember back when Simonia had the best public transport in the DAR...then the civil war destroyed most of it"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"It's a pity your country gets torn up so much," David sighed. "Anyways, let's get our table."

"Remember to mention the Emperor sent us so we get that discount," Akira whispered to Charles.

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

"It is truly sad" he sighed "A country born from the ashes of war is doomed to forever deal with the sparks"

He nodded to Akira and went over to the desk "excuse me..we have a reservation.. The emperor recommended us to you"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"The Emperor? Do you have any sort of verification?" the host asked. "Although you look the type, so I'll take your word for it."

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

"No" he smirked. "But I could call him and probably intrupt a very important meeting"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Then why don't you do that? I'd like to hear this from the big man himself."

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

"Listen bud, you said yourself we don't need to go through this so let's not"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Ok then," he sighed. "Follow me."

[NeuPolska]

"Now Darwin, I'm very concerned. That's why I should probably go back to my little war table," Dominik said, getting up. "Nice of you to stop by, though."

"Here," he said as he passed by, pulling out a small portable radio set, with a built in mic and speaker. "The Order won't be able to intercept our communications if we use one of these. All those communications we have up right now are mostly just noise, it should be giving the Order quite a headache every time they try to scan through."

[Hespero-Belkia]

Just then, a convoy of Hespero-Belkian vehicles pulled up in front of Wawel Castle. Soldiers began unloading crates of vaccine from the trucks.

An officer walked up to one of the Castle Guards. "We have a shipment of Gotterdammerung-6 vaccine. We would've informed you we were coming but we didn't want to risk the Order intercepting communications."

[Der Ritterorden]

The guard nodded, "Yes, though a lot of the people here are too far gone. We can take it from here, after all we know this place better than anyone, right?"

NeuPolska

Northern NeuPolska had fallen to the invaders quickly. With the Order cutting off supply lines from the South, the Ritters didn't have much of a challenge in acquiring the land. Thorn was theirs, Ulrich's plan succeeding. Herr Marshal had been wandering through Marienburg when a young and eager young man appeared. The stranger quickly got on his knees, "all honor and glory to you, mein Marschall."

Herr Marshal looked down at him, "und who are you?"

"Marek, I'm from around here. But trust me, I support you in every way. You're my hero, man."

"Und how can I trust you, Marek?" He spat out the man's name.

"I rode with the brothers into the city. I shot a few guys, too, I bet a few of your soldiers could vouch for me."

"Alright," Herr Marshal smiled, "how would you like to join the Ritterorden forces?"

[Darwinish Brentsylvania]

"Look, I'm still sending troops onto Pomerania. 200,000 will arrive in Gdansk and Pomerania, and I'll send in 300,000 to Warsaw and Łódź. Would you like me to bring in the War Turtles?"

[NeuPolska]

Dominik raised an eyebrow, "you can't possibly send that many troops in that small of a window. And as I've said, the defenses WILL shoot them all down before they get their feet on the ground. The best way to go about this is to wait it out. We'll catch them, and we'll get those defenses down for you. Until then, it's too risky to allow you to do that."

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Well...any new information about NeuPolska?" Will asked as he paced around a table with a giant map of NeuPolska on it.

"The Order has eliminated all resistance along the northern coast," Richter explained. "It was wise of them to secure their beachhead before pressing inland. Prevented any insurgencies. Anyways, satellite surveillance reports that large numbers of Order troops are moving to the front lines. They're going to be making a big push soon. If I could guess, they'll attack Poznan or Warsaw as a diversion and then launch a pincer maneuver around Krakow and capture the city- with King Dominik and all of the resistance leaders still in it."

"Well, we need to get prepared to launch our own forces once Krakow is under siege," Will said. "Our sources within Brentsylvania say they're planning amphibious landings in Pomerania. Looking at the Order's defenses the Brents are bound to suffer massive casualities and probably fail...but it'll be a good distraction away from our troop movements."

"Machiavellian as always, Will," Richter remarked. "Playing our allies like that."

"Hey, we don't have much of a choice in times like these," Will replied as he turned to leave. "We have to take advantage of every opportunity presented to us. Anyways, I'm going to go talk to Kyrios. His new toy should be ready soon."

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

He nods and follows him with the others

[Hespero-Belkia]

Once they got to the table, the waiter asked, "Can I get any of you anything to drink while you look over the menu?"

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

He frowns and nods. "Ill have a coke thank you"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Can do. And the rest of you?"

"I'll also have a coke," Akira said.

"Just water's fine," David requested.

"Glass of red wine," Angela said.

"I'll be right back," the waiter said before leaving.

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

"My apologies for not getting something more appropriate to the situation. But I find that most alcohol really gives me a tickle in my stomach...such a feeling I would rather not feel"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"And why's that?" Akira asked.

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

He smiled and looked at her. "Because such a feeling is reserved for looking at you only"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"How sweet of you," Akira smiled and ran her hand through her hair.

"So, Charles," David said. "Angela and I would like to know a little bit more about you."

[The Federal Republic of Simonia]

He took a deep breath and nodded. "What would you like to know? As Akira pointed out esrlier..my public file holds much useless knowledge"
