Sure thing the Manshrew Alliance will be proud to have you back. Shame you didn't come soon I would have had you fight Claus.
Ok guys my post is finally up (sorry for the delay) can't wait to write me and Klomster's battle. Hope you enjoy.
Onward to Battle
The main doors to the palace opened and out walked Andrew wearing his battle armour. His armour was very well made, it was strong but despite its appearance, it was quite light as well. The colour of the armour was black with orange highlights and it had the symbol of the house of Manshrew on its chest. As Andrew looked over the courtyard he could see his army it was massive ranging from the light infantry, the archers and all the way to Andrew’s elite guard. Andrew was proud with his men on how the army was able to gather at quick as it did.

“Andrew!” a voice called out. Andrew turned his head to see Diana with his nieces approaching him. Andrew was happy to see them before he departed to Telmarion. He embraced Diana in a big hug as he would not know when he would see his wife again. He then gave all three of his nieces a hug as well.

“I don’t see why you need to go.” said Diana “Alun is capable of commanding the army, you don’t need to risk yourself.”

“I have to go Diana.” said Andrew “Anyway Alun is away on an important mission to convince House Wulfrick to join us. Next to him I am the next best option to command these men.”

Andrew noticed the tear that ran down Diana’s cheek, it reminded him of when he last went to battle all those years ago. He lifted his hand and wiped the tear away from her cheek. At the same time Andrew was holding back his tears, now was not the time for tears.

“I promise I will come back and when I do I will come back victorious.” He went and gave Diana a kiss. He very well knew that he wouldn’t know whether he could keep that promise as his father once said to him “In the battlefield, anything can happen can promise victory or defeat.”

“Uncle Andrew,” said Mary. Andrew knelt down to look her in the eyes. “Please be careful.” As she said this Mary gave him a big hug. Andrew did the same still holding back the tears.

“Don’t you worry Mary, I will.” Said Andrew “I need to get going. Take care of each other while I am gone.” Andrew walked away while waving back to them and as he did they did the same in return.

As Andrew mounted his horse a member of his elite guard asked. “Are you ready my Lord?” Andrew turned back to look at his army one last time he said “I’m ready. Let’s move out!” As the army of Uzgob started to move out to head to Telmarion a tear ran down Andrew’s cheek. The same elite guard asked, “My lord are you okay?”

Andrew wiped away the tear and asked: “Do you have a family back home soldier?”

The guard replied “No sir.”

When you have a family that you care about, you’ll understand.” Said Andrew.

The guard acknowledged what Andrew had said he realised that his lord had much to protect besides his country.

Prepare for Battle!
It had been a few days travel from Uzgob but finally, Andrew and his army had arrived at Telmarion. Andrew could see a warm reception from both House Humber and House Lanistark as all three armies converged. Andrew then spotted the main tent where the leaders of the armies were to meet. Andrew dismounted his horse and walked to the tent. As Andrew entered the tent he could see Daeron Humber, both Maror and Serala Lanistark along with their head advisor High Magister Barden around a detailed map of Telmarion. Once they saw Andrew enter they turned to greet him.

Andrew Manshrew! Said Daeron.

Daeron Humber! Said Andrew. As they greeted each other they both offered their hands for a shake and they did.

“It’s been a while my friend, how are you?” said Andrew.

“I am doing well Andrew.” replied Daeron “How is your family?”

“A few tears when I left but they’re fine,” replied Andrew. Andrew then moved to talk to both Lanistarks.

“It’s an honour to meet you at last Lord Manshrew.” Said Serala.

“It’s an honour to meet the both of you.” Said Andrew. “I knew your parents very well they were great people to fight alongside with. It’s a shame they were taken away as they were. But I have the pleasure of fighting alongside you two in battle.”

“Thank you, Andrew.” Said Maror “This is our head advisor, High Magister Barden.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Barden.” Said Andrew as both men shook hands.

“The same for me Lord Manshrew.” Replied Barden “I look forward to seeing you in action.”

“Thank you, Barden.” Said Andrew. “Now let’s get down to business.

Everyone then circled the map. “So do we have any information about the enemy.” Said Andrew.

“We have spotted that there are at least two armies.” Said Daeron. “One is from House Tuania, led by Orland Tuania. The second is the mercenary group Steel Fist which is led by Claus Rotstein.”

“I see Duncan has sent his attack dog to do his dirty work.” Said Andrew. “No doubt he would want Claus to lead the armies due to his experience. This no doubt has caused a rift between Claus and Grandin which means their command chain is weak. We will use this to our advantage.”

“And how do you suggest we do that.” Said Serala.

“With these, follow me.” As Andrew left the tent the others quickly followed. As they all left the tent there stood a war elephant. It had armour covering its vital spots of its body like its face and the side of its body. On its back was a three seat saddle. Everyone who had left the tent beside from Andrew was shocked to see such a sight. Andrew calmly approached the elephant to stroke it.

“This will clear right through the enemy we will have a soldier directing the elephants in the right direction then we will have two archers on each side to pick off any of the enemy soldiers. When the enemy attacks we will send these guys in first to with both mine and Lanistark’s infantry will follow behind. That way we will thin out the enemy. Then that’s where your cavalry fits in Daeron when we either need the help or the enemy is nearing their end you will ride in to deliver the final blow.”

“What do we do when the enemy surrenders.” Said Maror.

“We chase them off and we capture any injured.” Replied Andrew.

“Surely it would make sense to finish them off.” Said Serala.

“Out of the question, we will not become like the DeReimers we will care for them as much as we can!” Replied Andrew. “No doubt the DeReimers will want their soldiers back in one piece and we will for a price.” Everyone looked at each other to see what they thought about Andrew’s decision on the matter but they knew that Andrew had the people’s best interest at heart. Eventually, they all nodded their heads in agreement.

“Overall, how many men do we have altogether?” said Andrew.

“Well now that your army has arrived, I believe that we have 125,000 at an estimate.” Said Daeron. At that instant, everyone including Andrew was shocked by the number this army would be one of the largest armies in Formaroth’s history.

“Remember that number my friends.” Said Andrew. “That number will go down in history and we will use it to crush our enemy and when we do that we will be one step closer to defeating the Imperial Concord and achieving peace and stability to all of Formaroth! Now prepare your armies we have a battle to win!”

As each member left to prepare Andrew felt confident about the coming battle and he knew that this battle would shake the foundations of this war.
In terms of the horn sound very good. Love that film. For the music the first one sounds good as the climax or the victory of the battle.
Definitely this one for Me and Klomster's battle youtube.com/watch?v=s3L0_ez0Dg4
I look forward to the battle Klomster.
ok guys my post is finally up hope you enjoy!
Palace Throne Room
A lot of things had occurred in Formaroth since the last meeting that had involved Andrew. As he walked down the long hallways towards the throne room he thought about what had happened. Ralda, the region that belonged to House Mazeltof, had been invaded by the Imperial Concord. The rumours were that it had been a crushing defeat for House Mazeltof and the majority of the army had been wiped out, with only a handful of survivors being able to escape. Andrew felt terrible, as he knew he could have done something to help the Mazeltofs. But it was too late for that; all that Andrew could do was to find a way to help the survivors while focusing on his war efforts.
Andrew had finally entered the throne room as the giant doors slowly closed behind him he could see Alun and George looking over the map of Formaroth. They then turned to the door and as they saw Andrew they both bowed their heads in respect to him.

“My lord” said George.

“Please my friends you don’t need to bow to me, not after what we have been through and what we have done for Uzgob.” replied Andrew.

Of course Andrew” said Alun “It is time to discuss our next plan of attack”

“Yes lets” said Andrew. As they all approached the table Andrew said “First I want to talk about the problem that concerns the Mazeltofs”

“Certainly” said George. “How do you want to deal with this situation?”

Andrew replied “First we will offer the survivors a safe haven in Uzgob but we can’t keep them here forever so we will have to find a region they can move to start over again so I suggest that we invade Orog.”

Both Alun and George were shocked by this idea. They both looked at each other and at first they didn’t know what to say. Alun finally said “But Andrew we need to focus on our war efforts”

“I know that is why we won’t be helping them invade Orog, we will asks other to help our cause. We will try to make allies with House Wulfrick, so far they are neutral in the war and we desperately need allies. So I suggested that the remainder of the Mazeltof army and the Wulfrick army invade Orog.” Said Andrew

“You know House Wulfrick will want something in return” said George.

“I already have that planned they will own half of Orog while the other half will be given to the Mazeltofs while they rebuild what they lost. If we win the war the Mazeltofs will be given back Ralda and Wulfrick will have the rest of Orog. Hopefully Wulfrick will agree to this offer and they will help us to win this war. Alun I want you personally to go to Nash to give this offer to Wulfrick.” said Andrew.

“Of course Andrew, let’s just hope this works.” said Alun.

“Yes it’s a gamble but it could help us later if this works out.” said George.

“Yes, now let’s move on what else do we need to discuss” said Andrew.

Alun replied “Our scouts have reported that they have spotted a large army amassing near Telmarion we believe that this army may attack either House Lanistark or House Humber. What do you think we should do to deal with this matter?” Andrew thought long and hard before replying “Ok I suggest we go on the offensive and move the army to Telmarion to confront the army, if we get Humber and Lanistark to join us in this assault then we may stand a chance to fight against this force.” Said Andrew.

“I will relay this to the army myself” said Alun.

“Very good then is that all?” said Andrew.

“I believe that is everything” said George.

“Very well then this meeting is adjourned” said Andrew. As the meeting ended both George and Alun collected their documents and left the throne room leaving Andrew by himself. Andrew knew that they were taking a gamble on these tactics and that this could either help the Manshrew Alliance or completely destroy it. Andrew took his leave.

The Dream of Dread
Andrew was in his bed robes, they were an orange colour made out of the finest silk in Uzgob. He was entering though the gates of Fishgrove. Andrew was horrified with what he could see. The streets were layered with corpses of Mazeltof soldiers, blood covered the ground and Andrew looked down to see that his feet were stained with the blood. Andrew decided to move on; as he walked he could see entire buildings which once stood majestically had been reduced to rubble. Once Andrew reached the end of the street he could see something but he couldn’t make it out, but as he got closer the horror finally reached his eyes. It was Godwyn Mazeltof’s headless body. His armour was stripped off his corpse only leaving a partial under garment. The body was nailed to a wall and it was battered and bloodied. Andrew was only able to identify the body due to the spear which was stood up wards with Godwyn’s decapitated head place upon it. Andrew slowly approached the head, he did not know why he was doing this, it was like some higher purpose was calling him to do so. Andrew was almost face to face with the head; suddenly the head came to life “You let us all die!” It screamed before blood started to flow out of the eyes and mouth. The sight was terrifying. Andrew woke from the nightmare sweat was running down his face. As he looked around his personal chambers he soon realised that the horrors he had seen were nothing more than a dream. The room was dark but the light from the moon slightly illuminated his surroundings.

“Another nightmare?” said a voice. Andrew turned his head to see Diana who had awaken from her sleep.

“Yeah” replied Andrew.

Diana rose up and put her arms around him “Do you want to talk about it?”

“I was in Fishgrove. The place was in ruins, bodies everywhere and I saw Godwyn, or what was left of him”. Andrew paused for a moment before continuing “it’s all my fault” he said mournfully as he placed his head in his hands.

“You shouldn’t blame yourself.” Said Diana as she tried to comfort him.

“I could have done something I could have sent some men to help them they would be alive if I helped but I didn’t and now they’re all dead.” replied Andrew. “Now the Imperial Concord has the upper hand and they might win and knowing Duncan he will kill me and kill you and the girls as well”

“Now listen to me Andrew.” said Diana. “You are a great man and a great leader and you couldn’t do anything to help the Mazeltof family; if you sent some of your men they might have died with them and you would be with a weakened army. You didn’t kill those men, it was the De Reimer family and their so called Concord. That is why you must put a stop to them. You don’t need to worry about us, everyone here in Uzgob is with you to the very end and I wouldn’t change a single day with you.”

Andrew then turned his head to look at Diana. She was just as beautiful now as the day he first met her in her family’s ball. “I love you” said Andrew as they both kissed before then they then embraced each other and the both went back to bed.

The Counter Plan – Andromeda Market Place

Andrew was walking within the midst of the market place. The market place was in its prime; numerous market stands were placed around the square and people were flowing in and out of the market, it was another peaceful day in Andromeda. Andrew was wearing clothing more practical than what he usually wore. He was wearing sandals on his feet and baggy trousers along with a sleeveless shirt as well. He did not want to show off his nobility to the citizens of Andromeda. Behind him were half a dozen of his best guards, vigilantly looking out for anyone attempting to cause harm to their lord. As he walked through the market the odd merchant would bow his or her head to him and he would do the same in return. As Andrew looked ahead he could see Alun quickly approaching him “Andrew” cried Alun “We must talk immediately”

“Ok, but not here there are too many people around.” replied Andrew.

Both men left the market with Andrew’s guards following closely behind. Andrew was concerned with how Alun looked, he look like something terrible had happened. Andrew prepared for the worse. He then saw a little alleyway and as he pointed towards it both men entered. “What is it Alun, you look terrible” said Andrew.

“Our spies have reported that an assassination attempt took place in Alenius and Giles Blackwell was the target” said Alun

“My God” replied Andrew.

The worse is still to come the assassin was wearing a Manshrew seal so the Blackwell’s think that we tried to kill one of their family members and have named us enemies” said Alun.

“Ok we need to prove our innocence, send one of our diplomats over to House Blackwell to tell them that we had no part of this attack and if they are not convinced I will go down there myself to prove House Manshrew’s innocence. We need to resolve this as quickly as possible.” Andrew quickly replied

“Of course. I will sort this out as quickly as possible” said Alun. As he did this Alun left the alleyway and headed towards the palace leaving Andrew by himself.

“Damn you Duncan” said Andrew. For Andrew this was another problem he had to resolve but Andrew had faith in Alun that he would be able to resolve it quickly.
