The
Wrath of Westmen. __________________________________________
A Depiction of the burning Manor, the city of Arichsdorf standing tall in the background. __________________________________________
On the 10th of The First Seed, of 72 S.A, the Insurgent Rebels felt the wrath of Westfall and her allies.
Captain Winchester sat still on his horse, he eyed Atticus Nightingale, he had spent some time with the man now securing stability within the new nation, they where both servants of Arichsdorf, and now Westfall. They had just returned from Royal Court, after having spoken to the King, who had informed them that Royal forces would assist them in their purge of terrorists whenever needed.
The Brief.
"A Ruthern Mannor is possibly being used as a staging ground for insurgent terrorists, we have reasonable cause, and that is all we need. We will scout it out, and burn in it a Grails Day."
Winchester stated, coldly, to his soldiers Ezio and Elena. He was tired of war. With that, they were off, a joint force of the Nightingales and Houseguardsmen, they rode across the original territory of Arichsdorf, and into the new lands of Westfall, where once they had no say in the matter, they enforced the law, and the will of the last true Emperor of Oren.
The Mission.
Upon, reaching the traitor's home, the Men of the West, as well as the singular Women of the West, Elena Morrow, met Sir Gustaf, a fellow member of Arichsdorf, and a traveling cohort of Ruskan soldiers with who Captain Winchester was familiar with, to who they promptly explained the goal of their mission too. A simple scouting mission, that is what it was supposed to be, to which the after an attempted 'attack,' of the main building, the Westerners and Kingsmen realized simply, no one was home.
Upon this realization, the group quickly concluded the best, and most effective course of action would be now to burn and destroy the possibly insurgents' Homebase. And so it was, the group choose to encircle the home, before sending themselves in, ensuring it was safe to operate freely, they'd break into the manor, looting and destroying the family home, with little care for its elegance, they'd predominantly plunder and loot jewelry and the manors books. The Ruskans would even attempt to steal the Piano from the first floor, with the conscripts of the Houseguard robbing every shining object they could see. The plundering mass tortured the fine-wood floors, and desecrated the warm-family home, without mercy.
Sir Gustaf remained outside, he did not partake in the robbery.
"Out! It will burn." Atticus shouted.
"Not yet!" Shouted back to the looters upstairs.
Minutes passed.
"We're leaving!" Winchester shouted before exfiltrating from manor. The rest followed after realizing this, no man wanted to burn to death.
The group now met with Sir Gustaf, before creating a make-shift firebomb with the help of Ezio, a proud Mercatorii who clearly had inherited his cultural... Specialty. Cutting a piece of Ezio's cape, using it as a fuse for the firebomb he held.
"A torch, does anyone have a torch?" One of the officers called to their men. They looked around. No one had a torch
Winchester turned to Ezio, the young, some would say fearless, conscript, "Use their fireplace." With that, Ezio did as he was ordered, Elena Morrow followed, for she had her own firebomb as well. The two lit their bombs and used them to perfection to set alight the traitor's home. The two bombers quickly fled from the smoke-filled home, meeting back with their comrades on the perimeter of the mansion, with cheers, jokes, and pats on the back for their bravery. The Nightingale militiamen stood beside their guardsmen brother-in-arms chatting monotony amongst themselves, the Krajia Ruskans soldiers cheered, screaming insults directed at those who betrayed the Kingdom at the burning building.
A first of many.
