Road’s Closed

The 16th of the Snow’s Maiden was when twelve road workers moved into the Nordling Maple Forest to do some construction work, lead by Markus Kruber of the Metina company, Count Iskander Basrid, and Sir Draskovic. Two savages of Norland attempted to stop such, though they were quickly dispersed. As the others went to work, an orc and an armored woman were let through without problems and the Nordlings quickly came out of their dirt hovels.

 

As the Nordlings peasantry ran out of their pig pens, a large battle of 2400 barbarians versus 1100 Imperials ensued, causing the loss of life for nine hundred barbarians - one of which being a high-ranking Nordling official, and a total of four hundred imperial soldiers who did not go down without a fight.

 

Let the barbarians heed this warning when Imperials are at work: Road’s Closed.

Joseph d'Azor shakes his head "One day the people of Norland will realizes the mistake they made choosing to attack us, perhaps WE will demand 1000 minas?" He offers with a chuckle.

"Of course these dirty barbarians lose the battle, one Orenian Soldier is worth 100 of those barbarians, so it does niet surprise me that we won, once again." the young Kelhus Othaman said, reaffirming what he just said with a nod "I for one, shall fight against those Barbarians until they kneel before the Emperor and surrender." the young Othaman now smiled and sought to look forward to more Orenian victories in the future, as all things should be.

Captain Robert Archibald Galbraith would shake his head "Silly barbarians halting work as usual." 

[Jokinghills 825]

General William Darkwood would read the announcement and would speak to his captains "Another victory, the Norrlandic army fails to protect its citizens once more!"

[grnappa 1230]

Sir Erik Othaman wiped the blood from his sword as he chuckled, rolling his shoulders back after the fight. "All in a day's work. It seems that every Imperial is worth more than two Barbarians." 

"We asked for peace."

[Asutto 2452]

Erik Erikson, the Northlandgrad delivery boy sat upon the hill side of Elysium, looking down at the chaos that the war had caused. With a deep sigh he'd stand, finally deciding to leave his homeland "Perhaps it's better to live in Oren. . ." He'd muse "At least they know how to protect their citizens"

[SortedJarhead 817]

"The Nordlings should have been grateful, for roads are the most basic infastructure of civilized peoples. Their Pagan brains surely aren't capable of comprehending, better yet designing roads." ponders the Vicechancellor.

The Princess Charlotte Augusta brimmed at yet another one of her cousin's newsletters. She paused amid the fitting of her wedding dress to speak in proud remark to her maids.

 

"Dear Anthony, always armed with quill and parchment to deliver word of victory!"

"**** Norland." would state the Prince Philip Aurelian to his son, Philip Amadeus.

Sir Charles Galbraith would be in his Office when he heard of the recent Orenian victory:

 

"Nordlings, abandone all your wrong hope and mad ambitions of conquest because, as I am sure that you have all realized today in this recent raid, Our Imperial State Armed Forces shall defeat you in this war! Do not be fools and Surrender now that you can in order to stop embarrassing yourselves before the whole world with your military weakness!" the Minister of the Crown would say.

 

"And to think that you Nordlings started a war that you could not win... Pathetic. After all, we asked for peace." he would cackle before proceeding to sharpen his Cascadian sword.

Leopold would smile remembering the battle "It was a valiant effort on their part- just not good enough" He would state going back to cleaning his weapons and armor from the fight

Edric shakes his head at the Orenian lies and propaganda, and makes an announcement.

 

"We struck the first blow in this war. We will strike the final one. What happens in between is meaningless."

[Ticklem0nster 103]

Godfric sat in his camp reading the news in the latest paper distributed throughout the empire. 

"Even when we are expanding the infrastructure of their poor nation they still treat us like the enemy."

[Slorbin 2932]

Edward curses the libertarians who defunded the roads. He hopes the barbarian government will bring them back.
