Flight of the Goats

Shortly after the encounter with the traitorous Goats of Sedan at Southbridge, on the 16th of Tobias’ Bounty, a ragtag group of rebels was encountered just outside the Susa stalls. The first to approach them was the Secretary of War, Alexander d’Arkent. The Ensign, Caspian d’Arkent, was meandering around the city roads when the Duke of Cathalon, Thomas Andrew Helvets, approached him and told him of the group his father had encountered. Caspian quickly rushed to his aid while His Grace continued to go and fetch more assistance.

 

Caspian approached, drawing his blade immediately as the rest of the ISA soldiers ran to assist them, quickly outnumbering the ill-prepared and unorganized squabble. Lieutenant Varon Draskovic quickly began barking out orders and with the group now at full strength and rallied they began to take chase.

 

The first to fall didn’t even make it beyond the walls of Providence as a few soldiers quickly cut him down, promptly bringing an end to his life. The rest of the noble soldiers continued, hot on the Goat's heels and giving no quarter, marching onwards as the Goats ran beyond the walls of Providence, slaying another two in the process. The last two of the group managed to make it to the shores where rowboats had awaited them. They quickly pushed them into the water and while one managed to escape, the other was not so fortunate. He was slain on the opposite riverbank with the ISA soldiers taking another victory home, the fourth in the span of a single month.

 

I remain curious to see whether this group will actually put up a decent fight at all or if they’ll continue to lose fight after fight, month after month. The ISA will show no mercy to these traitors of the Empire.

Captain Robert Archibald Galbraith would nod accordingly as he sharpened his Cavalry Sabre "Jolly good" He would exclaim turning to a nearby 3rd Brigadier "I simply cannot wait for them to try again"

Sir Erik Othaman, Lord-Commissar of the Imperial State Army, began laughing as he slams his hand on the desk.

 

"I have respect for these goats. There are very few people that I know who are willing to donate so much armor at their own expense. Keep up the fight lads, we'll make use of your gracious donations."

 

The Major grinned to himself as he hung the missive up next to the ever-expanding list of Imperial victories.

His Excellency the Solicitor-General recognizes the bravery of the ISA "Well done, imperial soldiers. Thank you for always defending the Imperial State and I hope to be able aid you in the battlefield under your orders too as soon as I reform the Imperial Constabulary"

Captain Ruthern cleans his armor after nearly a full month of fighting the so called ‘Goats’. “I doubt this little revolt is going how they expected.”

‘’Ave Imperium’’

A ferryman roams the imperial streets; suddenly, he is added to the orenian southbridge region! He looks around.

 

"Aidi bokaldem?" The ferryman questioned, impaling his longsword through the sternum of one imperial straggler. "Oh shi wuddup."

Luka Bishop leans upon the railing on the upper bridge outside Sedan, scanning through the missive.

 

"Ragtag...? We were organized and prepared for a fight, simply being forced to split up during the battle, I really also don't recall anyone dying on our side. There were also about twenty men compared to us five. The ISA is getting desperate, this is truly pathetic." 

 

He laughs to his cousin Henry before pocketing the missive and walking off into the Courtyard where he begins to sharpen his blades.

Johan Vuiller would shake his head at the news of another battle as he was making his home ready to host the Rangers of Eastwood after the attack against Southbridge.. the man would stop for a moment looking towards his armor from his time as the Knight-Regent of the Holy Mother Church before walking over towards the armor and weapons that hung there. The man smiling as he picked up his most trusted trident. “It seems the time has come to sharpen your edges again.” he’d smirk looking it over before continuing   “It is time to rid Gods terra of these foul heathens that call themself the Goats of Sedan...”  Johan would then fetch his grindstone taking a seat next to his armor sharpening the aurum edges of his trident, a large grin on his face as the slightly older man would whistle a tune.

 

 

Dominyk Wick the former Chief Commissioner would grin drawing his blade looking it over slightly before placing it back into it sheet. He’d grab hold of his cane then walking out the door of the Wick manor. “it’s a good day to spill some blood” he’d smile walking towards the main gate of Providence.

 

 

Saint Harald Vuiller would chuckle as his voice could be heard within the Cathedral of Providence “These heathens will niet be around for much longer it seems.” after a slight wind could be felt as the silence once more filled the cathedral.

Caspian laughed to his brothers-in-arms. “I bet they would’ve been sending out missives had they beat us in the first skirmish when we were outnumbered. Too bad they didn’t.”

"And now comes the time in war for everyone to have arguments in their head," Alexandria Karina sighed heavily, dreading the many conniption fits she shall have after every battle occurs.

Some Reinmaren male wonders why his comment on Oren losing a 14 versus 5 was removed out of existance... he could've sworn he said something.
