Nations RP

Dirk walked through the giant castle that was known as the Attrox capital. Dirk was going to the war room to meet Seth Daigun. Dirk thought to himself walking down the quiet halls of the castle, soon Attrox will rule the four nations, then we will go for the world. all will crumble in our mits Dirk soon walked into the war room and saw Seth Daigun. "My lord Daigun, I need the battle plans for conquering Monos."

 

Dirk stepped over to the map, and started thinking with Daigun. Then it finally hit him. "My lord what about the old underground city? The underground city will lead us under their border and up in front of their capital. It is infested with monsters, but nothing our troops can't handle. and even if we don't go down there, what if the enemy is thinking the same thing?"

 

The sound of time ticked silently inside Caedus' head. He sat there in the dark, watching his friend attempting to produce a battle plan for attacking Monos. Caedus chuckled to himself. He then overheard Dirk talking about the underground tunnel. He decided it was time to step in.

"Erhm... Excuse me gentlemen, if I may intervene..."

Caedus stood up and walked out of the shadows to Seth's desk.

"The underground tunnel can be taken care of quite easily I beleive... Our informants have already declared that the Monos' were planning to utilize it. We took care of it quite simply."

He gave them each a glance.

"We are leaving it open for them. Giving them a route like this will open up an oppurtunity to counterattack, here!"

He placed his finger on the southern side of the map, dragging it along to the Eastern side.

"We already control Lato... Which includes the entire southern sea area along with the majority of the Harbors on the continent. My thoughts are to use Lato as a base for the better of our army, keeping the steadfast ones here to defend and repel any attacks. By attacking Teyos first, whose army even compared to a small amount of ours is putrid, we can take over the entire sea-trading area of Vance."

He looked to them both.

"Not only that, but gaining Teyos's advanced technology will ensure our victory against the troops of Monos. What do you think Seth?"

 

Caedus grinned.

"I beleive Dirk will be sufficient to lead our troops... he is quite capable himself. I have already planned to take a small... detour. I have other plans for that village we destroyed this morning on our border."

 

"Thank you my lords, I will not fail you, but I see one flaw my lord caedus. like Daigun already said, the monos have an army that out matches ours in a heart beat. even on our own turf, we can't defeat them. A small army of elite troops, can not stand up to the technology that Teyos. And if I have all the elite troops, then won't that make the defense againest the troops of monos less odds of winning?"

 

Caedus smirked.

"That would be the apparent problem... But the Monos do not know of our plan. And we need not win against Monos right now... That battle is only a facade to disguise the true fight in Teyos. They may have advanced technology... But our elite troops are more than a match for some of their weaker cities. Besides..."

He grinned, examining a greenish glow emanating from his hand.

"I think they will find the might of our armies... More than challenging enough. After all, how can they defeat what they cannot kill?"

 

"I guess you know a spell that can fix that? A spell that big will need a little more power, so here take some of mine." Dirk said some words to quiet to hear and a dark black and red ball appeared in Dirks hand and he threw it to Caedus. "I'll get the troops ready my lord." Dirk ran and jumped out the window and landed softly on the ground with the help of his dark magic. Dirk than ran to the barraks to round up the troops. he thought to himself, they might not be able to kill what they cannot kill, but they can drown us.

 

The people of Monos never seem to tire. Transporting artillery this way and that, running off to mend the wounded at every second… Vivienne had to put her frustration on hold so she could admire their energy. She expected half the country to be panicking, but after the initial shock wore off, most had accepted the situation and started preparing for the war.

Vivienne traced the details on her sword's hilt with her finger, frustration bubbling once again. For the past few days, she had done nothing but sulk. Everyone but her was busy with something. She needed to take action, and now was the perfect time to do so. If what she overheard was correct, a few of Monos' troops were going underground to ambush the Attrox soldiers. She just needed to find the underground entrance, and then…

"Attrox…" Her teeth clenched at the mere thought of them. I swear I'll kill every one of you.

 

It was early morning; the sun had just risen over the mountains in the distance. Mithyl had gone to the Grand Citadel many times before, but it was the first time he had seen it in, for lack of a better word, shambles.

"The ravages of war." A hint of sadness could be detected in his voice. "The world is so beautiful...and yet there are always struggles. This just proves it: I must stop this war before it's too late."

He began to climb the steps to begin his daily ritual (after all, aerobic exercise was important to any soldier). When he reached the top, he found that his beloved lookout spot was not so much a spot, as it was...missing. The upper stories were completely destroyed and the staircase ended suddenly. Mithyl decided this was where he would say his daily prayer for peace. He removed his armour, lay down his weapons and prayed in silence on the destroyed staircase. He looked out over the land and saw the turmoil, the destructive power of Attrox. It was as if the heavens themselves wept for the land, as dark rainclouds rolled in from the west.

"My work is most certainly cut out for me..."

He began his descent and approached the tenth floor. He noticed a shadow around the corner, and put his hand on the hilt of his longsword.

"It is in peace that I come to you...show yourself!"

He then swiftly approached the figure, prepared to defend himself if need be.

 

"The name's Jake. I'm only here to rest and escape the coming rain. Who're you?"

Mithyl decided that someone looking for a fight would have initiated one. All he needed was bloodshed or destruction on his conscience. He removed his hand from his blade...however he still felt that all the details to his identity were on a need-to-know basis. He had never met this young man (and did not know from where he hails), and wished to take every precaution.

I am Mithyl, a lowly blacksmith. I am here to say my daily prayer. A strong ally...or a powerful foe? I suppose I could use some rest as well. I have just travelled from Monos by horse.

 

Caedus grinned as he felt the small surge of strength Dirk had given him. Hmph... Truly it was not neccessary... he thought to himself. He strode down the spiralling staircase of Valentine Castle, making his way out to his horse. He rode off on his horse for a few miles, until he came upon the entrance to the underground tunnels. It was near the Grand Citadel. He got off his horse and aimed his hands at the ground. A greenish glow emanated from his hands as power suddenly flooded from him into the ground. A few moments later, corpses of the dead and the undead rose from the ground, bearing the weapons they died with and more. A few hundred of them rose from the ground, prepared to kill. He made a motion to the entrance, and they understood.

They marched, by tens, by twenties, into the tunnel. As the last of them entered, Caedus heard a noise coming from the battle worn Citadel. It was where he was heading anyway, and the thought of running into some rebels excited him. He walked up to the enormous building, and walked inside. As he walked up the stairs, he could hear voices. He heard a few names... Jake and Mithyl... But they were of little importance. The names did not register in his mind.

He reached the fifth level, and saw the two of them sitting there... talking. He decided to watch over until they noticed him, after all, there was no use in starting a fight for no reason.

 

Vivienne managed to locate the underground entrance quickly enough. When she arrived, most of the troops had already descended into the opening and only the younger soldiers remained to guard the area. They didn't allow her inside, persistently warning her about monsters that apparently plagued the subterranean path, but she managed to force her way through them.

Having no sense of direction whatsoever, Vivienne worried more about getting lost than facing hordes of monster. She was surprised to see that the tunnel was a lot easier to maneuver than she expected. There were no forks—if there were any, they were somehow blocked by mountains of rocks—and there was a trail of monster carcasses left by Monos' troops for her to follow. She frowned. Everything seemed a little too simple; she didn't even get a chance to slay one monster.

I suppose I'm just lucky. She shrugged off her thoughts and continued forward, following the faint chatter of the Monos troops. The legendary forgotten city was just minutes' walk away, and after that was the exit to the Grand Citadel. Her lips twisted into a wry grin: she could almost see Attrox blood spilling right before her eyes.
