War for the North [Open War SRP]

[sáfarie]

At the command center Sianne looked on the map and marked places of enemy activity. Then one of the Scouts in, "Miss Sianne, the east front is under attack by alliance tanks. If we dont do something they will break through our defence". Sianne looked to the scouts, with fire appearing in her eyes she stands up.

"Send more troops to the east front to help with the defence" With a fist smashing on the table. "Send a group of bats to flank their tanks, While they are distrected send some saboteurs to disable the tanks" The scouts saluted Sianne and runned outside. while Sianne looked on the map again a voice camed from behind, while she looks back she see its from the horde gunship.

"How is the situation?"

"We just landed north from Tarren Mill to repair the gunship, It will take a while but it wont take long before we are in the sky again for air support"

"Good to hear u maded it safe, I will send some more engineers to help with repairing the damage" Walking away from the orb, Sianne walks outside and look into the sky. "i had to do something about the attack on the horde gunship south of the sludge fields, Or the the alliance will overrun us".

Forty-five minutes or so had passed since Vonduke got word of the Alliance retreat. The wagoneer had made good time getting back to Tarren Mill. As the carriage bumped down the road and made it's way into the town, Vonduke wasted no time waiting around for proper procedure. He leaped out of the wagon before it had even come to a halt, and moved at a quickened pace towards the command center, the sound of his heavy staff clanging on the random cobblestones that were still above the mud. Seeing Sianne Dawnreaver outside the command center, looking up in contemplation, Vonduke spoke without permission.

"Lady Dawnreaver, have you, too, gotten word of the Alliance retreat at the battlefield I was sent to? We have wasted much time traveling to no destination, do you have new orders for me and my guards?"

Sianne looked to the wagen that just rided in. With Vonduke jumping of it and telling her what happened at the south west front. "No Vonduke i dind't heared it yet but that is good news, with the alliance retreating at that front we can rebuild a defence line. She says while she walks through the streets of Tarren Mill.

"For now... in the East we are under attack by tanks of the alliance many forsaken soldiers have fallen there, so its your task to reanimate them" With a smile apprearing on her face. "Soon when our gunship has been repaired we can use it again to attack them from the sky and push them back into arathi highlands."

Sianne takes a horn from her bag and blows on it. With a low sounds go into the air a troop of rangers appear in sight of Tarren Mill. "Ah there they are, We shall push back the alliance and reclaim what is ours and free all the prisoners the alliance tooked in this war."

((Ok so I'm still a little lost on all the east/north/west/south talk when we're ALSO using names of places. I'm assuming I'm headed to the Darrow River?))

Vonduke listened to Sianne's orders and hastily saluted, turning on his heel nearly before his hand reached his head. Rushing back to the wagon, he spouted an order to the driver.

"Driver! To the East, with great haste!"

The carriage driver nodded in understanding and let out a loud "Heeyah!" as he snapped the horse reigns. Vonduke settled back into the wagon, and turned to his guards.

"We have similar orders, yet to the East this time. When we get closer to the battlefield I will assess the situation and make any changes as needed, but for now, keep our previous plan close in mind."

(( Yes tov Darrow river, I am using kinda millitary stuf :P ))

[Tovarish24]

((All good, now I know, so I'm all set! Thanks ))

The eastern shore of the Darrow River was alight with fire and smoke as the combined assault of the Alliance and Thunderhammer tank barrage continued. The Alliance tanks moved about the eastern shore of the river, jockeying with one another for better positions from which to fire from. In their wake mud flew, and the marks of treads tore the soft soil of the eastern shore into a mud hole. The Thunderhammer tanks remained motionless, aside from their new turrets which continually swiveled to bear down upon the undead targets. All along the eastern shore the tank assault continued as it had for nearly an hour.

Dagmar sat in the gunners seat of one of the monstrous Thunderhammer tanks. While not an ace sharpshooter yet, he still enjoyed the power that came with controlling the large guns of the mercenary tanks.
"Gunnah! Load me ah incendiary round! I cant get these roaches outa there hole with this ballistic stuff! I need sum fire."
"Round is loaded! Ready to fire commanda!"
"Alright, lets see how much they like this!"
Dagmar took his time siting in his next shot. A particular group of annoying Forsaken had been holed up in a rather stalwart defense of wood metal where they had began to return fire with mortars. Dagmar had blasted the defensive hold with with ballistic rounds from all angles, but couldn't seem to crack the turtles shell. As Dagmar sited in the turret once more, a wicked smile crossed his face.
"Their not gunna like this," the dwarf laughed. He then pulled the trigger on the gun and tank lurched backwards in the ground as the cannon gave off a mighty boom. The glowing shell cut through the air over the river like a bolt of lightning descending from the heavens, and then it disappeared into the Forsaken defensive position. Instantly, the stalwart defense became an inferno of fire and molten metal as it exploded outwards, sending Forsaken bodies, metal, wood, and other destroyed objects into the river and surrounding area. The dwarves in the tank roared in unison.
"Gud shot Commanda!
"Aye it twas," replied the driver.
"Guess ill be callin meself an ace shot yet boys!"
"You'll still be a pup compared tah Lord Thunderhammer though," laughed the driver. Dagmar gave a derisive snort to the comment, but laughed shortly after along with the rest of the crew.

Meanwhile, Aethar with a force of 1000 veteran soldiers marched up the forest road to meet up with Dagmar and the tank assault. They carried with them more munitions for the tanks as well as siting equipment to properly survey the western shore for the assault across the river. "Lets see how Dagmar is faring. Im sure after the battle for Eastpoint Tower he is anxious to get revenge."

-----------------------------------------------------

The broadside cannons on board the Unyielding gave one final blast into the Horde destroyer before the enemy ship sunk below the waves. Explosions and riggings of the enemy ship cascaded across the turbulent ocean before the ship gave one last great heave and surrendered its burning husk to the ocean depths below. Across the aquatic battlefield, the Alliance was quickly ending the fight. With the departure of the gunship, the Alliance fleet was given free reign to assault the Horde vessels. With superior numbers, as well the captured kamikaze vessels, Ship Master Roald led the Alliance to a solid victory over the Gunships escort fleet. But the battle had not come without losses. Six Alliance vessels had fallen to the enemy ships, two from the Siegebreaker itself, and the other four during the intense battle with the Horde fleet after the gunships departure. Many of the surviving allied vessels were in need of repair, including the Unyielding which was taking on water and would need repairs soon otherwise it too would join its foes in crushing embrace of the depths below.

"Navigator. Give the command. All ships to Purgation Isle for repairs and refitting. The day is won."

The wagon containing Vonduke and his crew began to near the River. The Necromancer looked gently upwards and a wicked smile stretched the length of his face as he began to hear the sounds of cannon fire, and the warcries of battlehardened warriors. Looking back down to his company, he resolved:

"Ok, so as of right now we're sticking to our plan. The three mages will guard my front from cannon fire with mono-directional arcane shields. You warriors there will protect their flanks, as well as mine and behind me. Got it?"

The crew nodded at Vonduke, and the Forsaken sat happily back in his seat. It would be just moments before he could join the battlefront, and cause the rebirth of so many of his fallen allies, and enemies to boot.
