[@Kazemitsu] [center][h3][color=9e0b0f]Magnus Shane[/color][/h3] Magnus nodded slowly in agreement. That he could agree with for sure. Guns were nice and all, though they offered very little in a pinch if needed. He'd certainly get Johnathan to start training them to use a side-arm...perhaps a sword or a knife? Magnus himself was skilled in using a wide range of weaponry, primarily light such as his claws as well as light fire-arms. He saw no reason his soldiers shouldn't have the same capacity, after all it made him look bad if they were inept. He made a mental note of that followed by listening to Tristan's report on his little 'vacation'. Which, really to Magnus, did sound like a fun trip once it was explained to him. Ahh...if only he could of gone along. Ah well. There was plenty of chaos and destruction to be had with his plans unfolding before him. The vampire was already making plans for their next assault in his mind, meticulously thinking of the various outcomes for this as well as what was next to come. With the citizens getting captured for the most part he'd have quite the fine addition to his little army, at the very least able to replace the ones he lost today. Bigger cities would end up being more soldiers being issued into the fold of course, so for now he wasn't entirely to concerned on capture so much as conquering this outpost. A wide toothy grin formed on Magnus' lips when Tristan finished his story, showing off his pointed teeth perfectly. "[color=9e0b0f]Perhaps if one does break out you'll have to invite me along next time. It would be quite fun to devastate the troops with you.[/color]" He replied, chuckling softly. At his question he hummed in thought, "[color=9e0b0f]To the East. We'll be taking all the towns and turning the citizens to continue to add to the army. Setting up outposts and forts of our own.[/color]" He explained. "[color=9e0b0f]Primary goal as of now is to take over this particular state and branch southward towards even larger cities. We need to grow our men and resources...it will take time, something I'm not sure Johnathan understands, but we should succeed.[/color]" He continued. "[color=9e0b0f]The Covenant will inevitably send more and stronger troops, but by the time they're able we'll have already amassed enough forces to combat them effectively.[/color]" He said, his grin turning into more of a twisted smirk, pure insanity glinting in his eyes briefly. "[color=9e0b0f]All we need to do is herd the cattle into the pen for slaughter..humans' over-confidence and boisterous attitude is what will be their downfall.[/color]" [/center]
