The Battle of the Silversea

[_Stigwig 1510]

THE BATTLE OF THE SILVERSEA

 

 

The men of Renatus had been ready for this battle for over a year, now. Even after the pathetic attempts of Joey the Pretender and his former Marian hosts to avoid the repercussions of rebellion by lying about their service to a pretender, the men of the Empire stayed firm. They had marched for long hours, the assorted soldiers of the alliance camped outside the Elven city which lay close to the coast.

 

As the burning sun rose over the horizon, a glimmer of dawn brushing over the pine forest which hid the approaching troop’s advance. Opposite them stood a far smaller, quivering force. The assorted bandits who had allied themselves with the Hanseti rebels and the final remnants of the Kingdom stood opposite them - a number barely a third of their size.

 

At first sight of the Haensetic soldiers Tiberius Horen spun his left hand on his wheel and raised his sword with vigour. He rode down the hill letting out a great war cry before crashing into the water. The famed Renatian Siegemaster’s wheelchair accelerated with such great speed that it zoomed across the water before crashing into many Haensetic boats.

All that remains of Tiberius ‘Siegmaster’ Horen

 

As the Renatian legions watched the awe-inspiring sight of their former siegemaster speed on into the waiting enemy forces, cutting through a swathe of unwashed peasants, they let out an enormous cheer. Screaming out the name of Tiberius Horen they charged, cutting through the enemies which remained with terrifying ease. As the desperate remnants of the enemy soldiery attempted to flee into the nearby seas they faltered, boats failing to move and coming apart under the pressure of the thousands of soldiers pursuing them. Some men were dragged down by their armour, others picked out by the eagle-eyed archers which Field Marshal Hannibal Horen had positioned further back. Some - it was whispered about after the battle - were dragged down by the swimming Tiberius Horen…

 

As the battle finished and the brave soldiers of the Empire took pause for a moment to lick their wounds and regroup back upon the shore they were assaulted from behind by a terrifying sight. Held in reserve poured out more unarmoured peasantry, streaming forwards from the rearguard. The mass group of unwashed conscripts poured on and on, seemingly devoid of fear, to die upon the blades of the waiting soldiers.

 

With victory finally achieved and the carrion crows picking apart the corpses which made a new forest floor by the shores of the Silversea, the soldiers of Renatus soldiered onwards. Reza would fall and the false-King would be defeated, much as his soldiers had been wiped out with ease.

A Waldenian Orderman known as Corwin von Alstreim hummed a cheery war tune, utterly drenched in blood from the slaughter the encounter turned to be – the legions of Renatia resorting to dealing death with their bare hands to unarmed and unarmored Haensetic dogs.

 

“At Silversea and Leuven Fields

Supported by Renatian shields

He broke the unholy Orenian bands

Did our young Royal Godfrey!”

[Emenzi 1069]

The young boy king Andrik would sit within the Prikaz in the Haeseni capital of Reza, stiffling a chuckle as he read the reports from the battle before screaming out “NUTS” as he looked to his bewildered commanders.

“May Tiberius rest in peace.” says Achilius.

Lucion listens to a retelling of the battle with a puzzled look on his face, “That’s not how it happened... Haenseni MEN had prepared to take to the lake. But on that day, the lake thought itself a sea and bashed boats with skygod-level tides. The battle was so chaotic, time itself seemed to freeze for what felt like a day. As if Iblees himself was at the forefront of Renantian ‘soldiers’, time snapped back into place with dead Haenseni men floating about in the sea. Truly, it was a day where evil worked its magic. For no man would dare call it a fight. It was an unholy reckoning. Thus, seeing the proud, brave, yet somehow dead, soldiers of Haense floating in the tides of chaos, the men and women of the land rose up and tried to force Renantian devils from their lands. But even the sheer valor of the great Haenseni people was nothing to the barbarism of the Renantians. They cut down unarmed men, women, and children as if they were not sons and daughters of Horen. Truly, the day will be remembered as one where Renatus showed their true colors. That of bloodthirsty pillagers who cut down free people for daring to seek their own liberties.”

“Ave.” Says Octavius once the fight ends.

"Oh no.... Indifference will save haense from white deval Renatian cucks...." Proclaimed Warjon concerned
