OOC: Alright, time to get some action and conflict. It cannot just stay this way forever.
I'll begin soon, by throwing all my many factions into war, and splintering some of them too...
====================
@Kuchenlein
Um... Directive.. what's the range of the Pherithian artillery pieces... because they are still FAR away from Rockgarde. The ones firing are super long ranged guns(like the Krupp Railway Guns).
Pherith has a few big artillery batteries built that have each a little shorter range than the Volcronian super artilleries.
But Pherith has a lot more smaller artillery defenses, though.
The Ironeagle Fighter Bombers were quite tough and took a lot of punishment before pummeling down. Even then, those bombers steer towards enemy structures to deliver their last payload, exploding into a mini-nuke blast.
*defenders tried to fire projectiles steering the crashing Ironeagle Bombers away*
*a few structures were still hit, but were quickly repaired*
Being armed also with Air-to-Air weaponry, the dragons and fighters would come into stiff competition with an array of Autocannons, HMGs, Missiles and Gatling Lasers.
*some Fleenzub Fighters were down as a result*
*the Nether Dragons took some significant damage but is still standing*
*The Fleenzub Fighters retaliated with their own plasmaballs, missiles and HMGs*
*some further Fleenzub Fighters, from great distances, launched great explosive sniper-missiles from afar*
*some closer Fleenzub Fighters flew in diagonal circles of many directions encircling the enemy fighters*
*Harkyiu unleashed three giant, armored Obsidian Dragons, complete with attached guns and missile pods*
The Fighter Bombers started spraying Nova Sarin gas, that would burn any skin on contact onto the enemy below.
Thanks to the majority of the Volcron troops being automatrons and their little Citadelguard squads were heavily armed and had working gas masks, they were unaffected.
*Nova Sarin gas hurted Pherithians the most, since Pherithians have no fancy shadow magik like the Harkyiuians, and their super favorite wind manipulations just helped spread the Nova Sarin gas. In other words -- shit hitting the fan*
*Harkyiuians were quite damaged by the gas attacks as well since most of them are biological creatures, but their mists of darkness help a lot in alleviating the Nova Sarin gases and healing the Harkyiuians*
All of a sudden, several Fleenzub Fighters hit some Obsidian Dragons by mistake. The Obsidian Dragons did not take it lightly and instinctively hurled fireballs onto the offending Fleenzubs, bringing them down. The other Pherithians were greatly shocked and enraged seeing the Obsidian Dragons toasting their comrades, and so changed targets to the Obsidian Dragons instead of the Ironeagles. Pherithians believed the Obsidian Dragons to be wild, untamed and far more dangerous targets, and largely ignored the Ironeagles by now.
The field commanders, unaware of what the fuck was really going on, blamed each other for the incident. This soon escalated into arguments and bickerings...
Soon, news of the Pherithian-Harkyiuian confrontation reached the HQ. And the elites of both nations were angered tremendously.
Tikiyachod : "Yuet-yin! I-I wish I can, but... I can't believe it! Why did your goddamn dragons mess with our planes?! You Harkyiuians are really the savage barbarians you are!"
Goh Yuet-yin : "What?! How dare you... not only did
YOUR forces came at us first, but you fucking think we are barbarians?! I've eaten salt more than you've eaten rice, nigga!"
Cadusa : "Oh, really? You should have known better not to bring savage dragons--"
Rhelsha : "Same with your cakes too, cake-bitch!"
*an angry Tikiyachod suddenly slapped Rhelsha*
Tikiyachod : "Nobody mess with my loves like that!"
Lam Tsih-wah (crying) : "C-can you ladies and guys... s-stop...? Peace and unity... we have a greater foe..."
*Yuet-yin turned, facepalmed and sighed to her boy*
Goh Yuet-yin : "No fucking way I'm going to surrender our dignity. (chuckled) Tsih-wah, you're too young, too simple, sometimes naive! This is of no concern for you, Tsih-wah. The Ironeagles are nothing but some Hitlerite clowns and Roman wannabes. On the other hand, Pherith is a far greater threat than the Ironeagles will ever be."
Lam Tsih-wah : "B-b-but... milady..."
*Goh Yuet-yin patted Tsih-wah a few times while reaching for her pocket*
Goh Yuet-yin : "Here, have some candies, then go back to sleep, you've been doing a good job for today."
*Goh Yuet-yin handed out some glowing candies for Tsih-wah, and then softly touched his cheeks*
*the candies were glowing in some darker orange shade, and some faint magikal presence could be felt within*
*Tikiyachod and the other Pherithian elites took a curious and wary look at the odd candies*
*Tsih-wah hesitated for a moment in a deathly silence, while tears flew in his eyes. then he reluctantly took the candies and slowly left*
*every few seconds while walking away, he would turn his head and look back*
The bickering continued, but it cooled down a lot after Tsih-wah left.
The HQ would have a deathly tension hanging over their shoulders, with Pherithians and Harkyiuians sometimes exchanging hostile glares and snarls.
Some Pherithians and Harkyiuians begun to sabotage each other's efforts, whlist almost forgetting about the impending Ironeagle forces they were about to face. Even if they still have not forgotten about the Ironeagles, they could care less and thought each other was more threat than the Ironeagles.
====================
@Lasersquid112So far, Lady Helmina was enjoying the talk with this fascinating outlander very much. But all the whlist enjoying his tales, she wondered about what to do with this super futuristic marine here. He was a very cool and awesome guy, with powers and techs that would prove very useful for the Reich, but also very hazardous should he ever run amok. Should she left him wandering freely? Should she keep him capitve? Should she enlist him in the army? If he did end up in the Revital ranks, will he eventually overpower her and the Revival Society? Would this Marine overshadow every dominance she held over her underlings? Would his presence invite foreign galatic powers in the affairs of Terra?
Wait, Helmina hasn't even known this guy's name yet!
"
Uhmmm..." she asked, "
What is your name, if I may ask...? Also, do you have any idea what you are going to do here in the near future? And any plans for the far future?"
A few seconds right after she asked such question, her futuristic Pickelhaube began to ring and glow. Her train of thoughts were interrupted.
"
Babi betul..." she cursed in frustration, while putting her goggle back on.
After glancing at the clock over the wall, she casually clicked on her headset and listened. A thunderous, commanding voice of a man suddenly greeted her. Her eyes opened in shock. ("
It's the damned warlords! They just came all of a sudden. Our shores are under attack, and Kwongtsou itself is under assault too! Take up arms, fight for Whampoa and safeguard the Revival in the upcoming battles! Show our power! These warlords must be taught a tough lesson! Vorwärts!")
"
Wotei diserang den Krigstuanmun'i! Kuitei dah datang sinikan tibe-tibe. Pantaien woteis diserang, dan Kwongtsou zuge di bawah Angriff'i! Angkutlah Senziaten, zuanglah untuk Wongpoukan dan wahrenlah das Revivalkan dalam den baldnye'i Shelaten'i! Tunziuklah Kuase'i woteis! Ini Krigstuanmun mesti diaziar betul-betul! Vorwärts!"
As she listened to the urgent screams, Helmina was getting herself drenched in sweat. Her mouth opened widely for some seconds, surprised. For brief moments, she shivered slightly as she was shocked. She had never expected it. And worse yet, it completely disrupted her train of thoughts.
But very quickly she calmed down and recovered. Then she chuckled and asked mockingly in disbelief, (
"Really? I thought we are very tough while they are very weak and poor?")
"
Benarkah? Wa ingat, wotei kuat sangat manekale kuitei adelah lemah dan miskin sangat?"
(
"Yes, Puan Helmina, it's real.")
"
Ja, Puan Helmina, itu adelah benar." Recordings of battles and wars soon played out before her eyes, in the goggle. The Pickelhaube would also project such recordings out for others to see.
Fleets of pristine skyships came sweeping in, some dropped paratroopers, some bombarded factories while some engaged black skyships. Two armies of spiked helmet soldiers, hoisting the same flags but constrasting uniforms, fought against one another throughout the shorelines. Some Revital troops, wearing darker stylish combat suits, came evacuating the civilians but were met with a handful of insurgents and rebels. Futuristic Panzers were also seen
sailing their way very quickly toward the landing shores while blasting warships and soldiers on their way. Behind those amphibious Panzers were entire fleets of mighty warships rallying across the great sea.
(
"Colonel Helmina of the 44th Regiment, you shall hurry and aid in the defense of the capital, immediately!")
"
Oberst Helmina des 44. Regiments, pergilah cepat menolong dalam Pertahanan'i des Tausheng, sofort!"
"
"Jawoll!""
"
Baik." The transmission soon ended.
Helmina then turned facing the Marine. She then showed a big smile and asked, "
Well, I've been called to the defense. Our nation is under attack by some feudal warlords and pirates. I think you yearn for some blood to spill, my dear. Would you like to come along with me? I don't think staying here in peace or wandering around at this time would be any helpful for you. And promise me, don't bring harm to our loyal troops and civilians, only the bad guys, okay? You may be unfamilair with all this, so come with me and let me guide you,"
