Pack Rat Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Lena looks up towards and you see how she tries to force a smile on her lips. Tears still roll down her cheeck. She makes a little gesture that you should follow her.<Act like we are talking about the land...> She says while she points to some trees to create a diversion to all those who might be watching.<10 years ago a nomadic people invaded Asgard and claimed it as there own, tho they never got far. The war raged for over 5 years but that was caused by the nomadic tactics. They come, strike and disappear. That made it hard for the Asgardian Force to track them down and go into combat. We defeated them and they left to the no-mans land, behind the Fire-mountains. Last year it seemed as they returned however with numbers never seen before and they didnt used their old tactics. Tho, I have been a soldier for a very long time and even a blind man can see that we arent facing the same opponent.> She makes another gesture as she points to some grassy fields. <You ask me about the captured parts. Now, this is totally unlike what a nomadic people would do! They kill those who oppose but they take the captured lands for their own. They do not destroy the cities, nor pillage them. They just occupy them. I have never seen a nomadic people do this.> She looks around carefully, making sure that no high Imperial officer is listening. <I have a theory, tho it's only a theory for now but I think it was never the intention to occupy Asgard... I think they are using Asgard as a backdoor to the Empire... But why Asgard then? Simple, the other nations that surround the Empire are much larger and are friendly towards the Empire. Let's say if they attack a frienly nation and defeat it, there is still another nation in their path to the Empire. Asgard does not have that advantage... To the north-west lays the Empire and to the North-east lays a no-mans land. Land where they could send their troops trough easily and without stepping on any-ones toe's... Off-course the Empire deny's all this. According to them it are just nomads. Rather pathetic, the mighty Empirial Legions are getting one hit after a nother by a nomadic people...> She whispers that last sentence rather sarcastic.

Camonna Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 *Morgoth Sees how bad this could turn out* well, at this time we have two choices, we can only pick one, either convince the empire of what your theory is or we stop the nomads because we must not let the empire fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Torvild sighs. "I am a Nord. We are as equally a conquered land, though part of the Empire. We would be free of the Imperial yoke. And yet what you say is true. Small independent states can never survive. I will help in the interests of peace in the Empire as a whole. But if we are not facing regular troops or regular tactics them perhaps we cannot reply as regular troops." He looks at Morgoth. "Perhaps we should use their tactics and begin a series of raids behind their front line. It would at least have the advantage of being unexpected." He turns to Lena. "What do you think?"

Camonna Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I agree, we could use tactics to at least knock off some troops and maybe by that time the empire might have noticed whats going on and help us. but we must attack with speed and strength we cant risk full out war if we dont have a bit more men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Lena knods disappointed. <Do not count on Imperial understanding, nor military support. However if we would be able to get in contact with an Asgardian force, we might have more luck... The Asgardians are not as stuborn as the Imperials... The first thing we should do would be to get in contact with the Asgardian Force but since the defeat at the Mista-line, who knows where they might be... Maybe if we reach Lorianna we might find something out... At least, if we survive the Anacon Fields...> Lena just finished her sentence when the Imperials give order to start marching again. You decide to stick near Lena because for some unknown reason she gives you the feeling that you might trust her. As you march towards Lorianna, the capital of Asgard who lays deep in the Anacon Fields the officers group seems more divided... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Torvild mutters to Morgoth. "Are there any others travelling with us we might be able to trust? There was the Nord who interrupted our practice session and the youngster who is afraid of guards. They might help. They don't seem too Imperial, no offence meant, if you know what I mean."

Acoran Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Karath, whom and been evesdropping on the whole thing, comes over at Torvild's comment, "I'm no warrior....at all, but I will help. Seeing as there is no way out of this one...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camonna Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 *mutters Back* I myself am imperial all the way but I understand our stuborness as I am that a bit *winks and Torvild* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
