And so, they ran

10th of Malin’s Welcome, 1659

 

Spears and steel rattled as the combined armies of the Northern Atlas Alliance gathered outside the great gates of Sennisten. All races, colours and creeds represented upon the field as Lord Marshal Antonius ascended to the top of a great rock and called out the fateful orders “Forward March!”. Onwards the soldiers marched, a great host having amassed to face the united southern alliances force upon the agreed field of battle.

 

Outnumbered, though they were, the U.S.A stood firm for a short while, until the sounds of the trumpets ordered a full charge of the opposition. A charge which startled and routed the once stout and disciplined force, tripping over each other to escape, many were cut down by the blades of the N.A.A.

 

Run, run into the depth of the forests of the southern hemisphere, abandoning friend to their foe with the only regard for their own lives as they once more ran behind the walls of Markev to cower instead of fight for their cause.

 

 

It appears that the once proud Hansetians that stoutly fought against the Renatians when the Renatians were outnumbered, now struggle to adapt to fight upon the losing side. Not only do they run, they dishonour their ancestors and hold nothing but old memories as justification for their struggle.

 

Truly, the one way to properly arm a U.S.A soldier is to armour their backs, for they always turn and run once the battle has commenced. To flee appears to be the nature of the U.S.A, as they apparently have adopted tactics commonly found by the bandits called the “Reivers” as their own military doctrine.

 

So as things stand I do believe it entirely justified to level the accusation upon the denizens and soldiers of the U.S.A as nothing more than bandits who have acquired considerable fortifications which they utilize like their mothers skirts, to hide behind when they angered the wrong man.

 

“And so, they ran.”

"Men of Haense did not know blood of Radoslav still lived, and those that did are no longer." Radoslav Radovic says, wiping the blood from his blade.

Amandil whistles a tune common within Markev, he'd stop once reaching his friend, "You see, Arnorian, these Renatians are never happy; they are like an unloved child desperately seeking the attention of their parents. Probably why they keep bothering us so constantly, just ignore them and be happy." He'd resume whistling as he strolled about.

 

"I really should be more empathetic about our losses though."

Ambroise dutifully would note that this skirmish had originally been with the belief of matching one another in numbers instead of rallying for half a saint's week!
