Report of the Battle of Petra

The Imperial State Army after driving back the Legion of Sothos

 

          The Imperial State Army engaged the Legion of Sothos as they marched down the River Petra. General Erik var Ruthern led and commanded the Imperial Forces at fortifications made in anticipation.

          The battle was incredibly bloody, 2,000 Imperial men fought against the savage and brutal forces of the Legion of Sothos. A total of 200 good Orenain men lost their lives today, but for no small reason. The Legion of Sothos had numbers higher than ours, yet Orenian might held fast leading us to victory. No Sothos survived, no Orenain blood wasted. 

          Lieutenant Arthur Komnenos led the riverside cannon, and the forces along the left flank of the Imperial men. When the Legion charged, he returned the charge against them with Corporal Grant Elmere, Ensign Jon Othaman, Ensign Duncan Vullier, and Recruit James Maelstorm. These men fought valiantly against the bulk of the Sothos Infantry. 

          Lieutenant Quinn Darkwood led the forest side Imperial forces in the battle, charging with Sergeant Amelia Elenora, Senior Corporal Mika Uialben, Senior Corporal Solomon Obedia, Ensign James Madron, Private Elias Darkwood, Private Adeline de Sarkozy, Cadet Edmund d’Azor. These men and women alike valiantly fought against the Legion’s forces along with the men under Lieutenant Arthur Komnenos, cutting through them to the Centurion of the enemy.

          Lieutenant Oliver Raven, Master Sergeant Varlam var Rutherm, Private First Class Samuel Gendik, and Private Odo Gordias led the Cavalry charge on the flank of the legionnaires, most of the men being dismounted leading to on foot combat with the enemy. Thanks to them, the archers of the Legion were halted from attacking the main Imperial State Army force.

          Sergeant Primrose Gendik and Private Jared Munnel led the medical force that saved the wounded soldiers of the battle from imminent death along with Senior Corporal Mika Uilaben. It is believed others helped them with applying medical aid at the end of the battle, but those names have been lost in the report.

 

          The main battle was long, beginning with cannon fire on the Legion’s forces. Soon enough the Legion closed in enough with the cavalry charging on their flank, beginning frantic battling. The Infantry forces then charged against the Sothos forces, Lieutenant Quinn Darkwood and Sergeant Amelia Eleanora leading them in this attack as Ensign Duncan Vullier and Corporal Grant Elmere worked to defend the left flank. 

          Lieutenant Arthur Komnenos took a pilum almost completely through his side fighting off 2 Sothos Legionnaires before being pushed back, Ensign Jon Othaman fighting to defend him. One of the last legionnaires threw their pilum, impaling Lieutenant Arthur Komnenos to the barricades that they had used as shelter in the beginning, but Ensign Jon Othaman saved him from a possible fatal blow.

          Sergeant Amelia Eleanora led the charge being the first to engage in combat with the Centurion along with Cadet Edmund d’Azor. This Centurion proved to be a powerful foe, wielding a warhammer. Not too long after this specific fight began, the Centurion delivered a powerful strike to the top of Sergeant Eleanora’s head, almost killing her. She was soon saved by Lieutenant Quinn Darkwood, Ensign James Madron, and Cadet Edmund d’Azor. 

          This led to the Centurion being pushed back, a bulk of Imperial forces grouping up to attack this hulking enemy. Ensign Duncan Vuiller plunged his blade through the back stomach region of the man, leading to General Erik var Ruthern delivering a killing crossbow shot to his neck, but not before a near fatal blow similar to the one delivered to Sergeant Amelia Elenora was delivered to Private Odo Gordias. 

 

          The efforts of these men and women of the Empire have halted the advance of the Legion of Sothos. They have been pushed back, and will most likely not attack the city of Providence and instead will focus on regrouping and weakening our forces. We as the Imperial State Army will not allow this to happen, and we will crush their forces wherever they appear from. Oren aut Mortem.

cleaning his armour of all the guts and blood Duncan would sigh to himself  "When will they learn the ISA is too strong for them?" He would look to the warhammer he had won in battle and smirk "Perhaps, I will use this next time..."

General Erik var Ruthern smiles as he hung his prized crossbow on his wall, "You've served me well!"

The sound of the mailbox opening caught Primrose Gendik's attention as she prepared a metal tray of food to carry. Lifting it from the counter, Primrose stepped outside to take the mail, setting it on the tray. She swiftly returned inside the house. Each step she took on the stairs echoed through the main hallway until she reached the bedroom.

With a smile, Prim opened the door to see her husband, Lieutenant Arthur Komnenos, resting from the wounds inflicted upon him during the battle. She set the tray in front of him to eat, taking the missive and reading over it. The Sergeant had only arrived towards the end; She was summoned by a bird to treat the wounded -- Her best friend and husband included.

 

A proud grin grows on her lips as she sat on the bed, handing the missive over to Arthur. "You should read this, dear. Seems like you all had a fun time on the field." Primrose said as she leaned over to press a chaste kiss to Arthur's forehead. "I'm just glad you're alright."

Arthur Komnenos looked over towards his wife as she entered there bedroom with his food, as she read over the paper a  simple smirk would shine over his face "Who knew Cannons where  so loud, so loud i am sure everyone heard the fighting all the way from providence, maybe even further, yet it was quite fun"

Lieutenant Quinn Darkwood would wipe his blade, cleaning it from the blood gained through defending the Empire and note  "I have a feeling this will become a common task for me"

James Madron waved his hand in the air for a bit. “Maybe if I was a bit faster I could have beaten that other Ensign and the General to the big guy. Would’ve had six kills then, shame.” He cleaned off his mace.
