[Center][h1][u][b][color=darkred]Kingdom Of Zakol[/color][/b][/u][/h1][/center] [hider=Hakurei, capitol of Zakol] After another of the councils heated arguments on what should be done, Rahmas & Claymont proved to be the only voices of calm & reason managing to quell matters before they got out of hand, another issue Rahmas had to face on top of this was, General Mokur despite the results of the previous battle he was bloodthirsty and seeking revenge for the invasion, it was taking countless letters back and forth trying to reason with the stubborn ogre, the fact that Claymont refused to help either side on this matter only made it more stressful on one side the forces north needed to reorganize, on the other Claymont promised Zakol would aid their allies against their enemy. Meanwhile Glasha Yotul was attending to the deployment & logistics of the military & supplies being dispatched from the capital with some minor help from Rahmas & Claymont. [/hider] [hider=Encampment south of Lesai plains, Northern Zakol] Countless days have passed since the battle but the soldiers & laborers where still working tirelessly reorganizing supplies & burying the numerous dead. Zakolian dead where being carried away ceremoniously treated with the utmost respect & prepared for a military funeral. The treatment of the equally numerous Quaris dead however was a different matter the sheer resentment that was felt towards them for the unprovoked invasion ran deep, Their dead where collected up their eyes where gouged out, tongues removed, & ears, hands & feet where hacked off & they where dumped into one mass grave pit. Zakolians believed by doing this in the after-life all will know these deformed monsters for what they where and not in their whole human form, if they where granted such peace at all... It was a final last ditch effort to deny the Quaris fanatics access to their heaven for which they fought for. Zakol has always stood against such barbaric acts, believing all life & death should be treated fairly with respect, but under the enraged General Mokur such injustice has gone on unimpeded, with others of note & authority elsewhere none where available to put a stop to it. That said it was probably one of the few things that was helping keep Mokur in check from leading a counter-invasion instead of waiting for reinforcements from the south. [/hider] [hider=Mandalia Provence] With the area now safely under control & peace reestablished, Princess Yui continued to focus her forces efforts on restoration as supplies & trade slowly began to flourish again in the area, but also with a dread of what was coming, they started to recruit volunteers from the populous in an effort to start building what forces they could. [/hider] [hider=Eastrock Provence] The newly obtained province of Eastrock had been secured by General Venns forces as they where already organized to march when they where repelled at the boarders earlier freeing them up to easily move and secure the province, and after the arrival of Lucretia Arnet having been transferred to oversee domestic matters in the area Eastrock was also secured after it being handed over to Zakols rule. As such eforts here became threefold as forces where being raised from the populous here as well, Naval ships where being constructed & a large ancient defense fortress was being rebuilt near the eastern coast, despite it long having been the ruin of a long forgotten age. [/hider] [hider=Actions] > Diplomacy - Allied military request to Iparis to move its advanced naval fleet to [G13] to help defend the eastern coast. - Claymont starts utilizing some of his more unsavory agents, Spys where to find and report any vital information they could on the Holy Empire of Quaris or rather what was left of it, additionally if any assassins had a good chance of removing any military officers of skill, religious leaders, or the nations ruler they where to proceed but if no guarantee of success to refrain from any actions. - Large shipments of Zakolian forged weapons & equipment sent to the Republic of Andinon & the Kingdom of Tushienia, as a token of appreciation & to aid with the war effort. (Bonus: Superior Forging, Superior Armor *for 1 turn?*) - A final message Via pigeon sent to the Lagosami tribes to try and make contact in an attempt to arrange a sit-down to talk peace & negotiate their aid against a far more powerful & mutual enemy that was approaching if their tribal mentality was blood lust and war perhaps a promise of such things might get them to actually agree to speak. - Agents sent to gather any Intel on the Lagosami, culture, politics, military, etc... > Military Action - Refraining from any actions while preparing their forces for future endeavors. > Personnel Transfer - 3 warships (E13) > (G13) - 6 warships (E12) > (G13) > Recruitment - 1 units light infantry (27) - (Nts: of 3 units) - 1 units Crossbowmen (25) - (Nts: of 5 units) - 1 units heavy Cav (18) - (Nts: of 7 units) - 1 units Heavy infantry (28) > Naval Construction - 2 war ships (18) - 2 war ships (25) - 2 war ships (28) > Research - Fortitude (turn 2) [/hider] [hider=Garrisons] North Zakol (18) -Volaq Mokur -2 Unit of Light Infantry -26 Units of Heavy Infantry -2 Units of Archers -2 War-Magi -1 Unit of Magi -2 unit Heavy Cav -4 Artillery South Zakol (25) - Glasha Yotul - Priestess of the Sun & Moon - 4 units, Crossbowmen - 1 units, War Magi - 1 units, Magi (20) - 1 units,Trebuchet artillery - 2 units, Light Infantry - 20 units, Heavy Infantry - 1 unit, Javalin Ogres Mandalia (27) -Yui Wolph -Ozma Torth -1 Units of Hellfire Banshees -4 Units of Light Infantry -30 Units of Heavy Infantry -2 Units of Archers -3 Units of War-Magi -2 Units of Magi -6 Units of Heavy Cavalry -3 Units of Artillery Eastrock (28) - Loxa Venn - Grumret -3 Units of Light Infantry -7 Units of Heavy Infantry -2 Units of Archers -1 Unit of War-Magi (Lucretia Arnet) -3 units of Heavy Cavalry -1 Unit of Artillery Navy Locations - 11 warships (E12) - 8 warships (E13) - 57 transports (Trading/Various - Recalled for military service) [/hider]
