[@Lorddiviness] ETA for additional Harkyiuian reinforcements : 2 hours ETA for additional Pherithian reinforcements : 1 hour *Pherithians constructed additional artillery batteries, bunkers, trenches and other defenses* *Pherithians built more Fleenzub airfleets, spinsword towers and mana field generators. most of them were built in western regions, but a few were constructed in central and eastern regions to support allies too* *Phantasm Warwagons, the Warwagons which can release barrages of missiles toward foes while disguising as trees, were scattered across the west mostly, with some numbers at the center and east too* *elite battlemages and sharpshooters were stationed in strategic spots* *many living cakes and elementals were conjured quickly in bulk to reinforce the western sectors* ****** *Harkyiuians continued to grow like rabbits in the east, setting up more shoddy camps there, which would quickly be turned into decent bases* *Shadowspreader Devices were constructed all over, covering the entire western area with mists of darkness, which would empower all Harkyiuians, reduce Harkyiuian invisibility, while also crippling any foes by blinding, corroding and burning them* *many shadowspawns, Triads and war machines were hidden in dark forests immersed in these mists of darkness, eager to strike at unsuspecting foes* *more traps were being laid around, especially the Spookmines that would explore and turn hapless Ironeagle troops into twisted shadowspawns forever enslaved to Yuet-yin's will* *some formidable forts were finally upgraded from casual Harkyiuian bases* ****** [quote=@Lorddiviness] [@Kuchenlein] (BACK AT HQ) "They will usually conduct mass human wave offensives.. so WE should be fine if we can inflict massive casualties upon them... No prisoners can be allowed unless they can fight no longer... Experience has told us that.." Volcron continued. [/quote] "Aha! I have here one silly idea!" Tikiyachod suddenly spoke with a big grin, "Let's pour greasy corrosive chocolates and lavas onto-- wait... we ourselves would need to advance after they are dealt with... I am not sure how long the sticky hot liquids will last." "Prisoners... those Ironeagles seem so stubborn and traitorous, do they?" Yuet-yin then let out a maniacal laugh, "I have some tricks up my sleeve... With my loving sorcery, I will twist and pervert any of these guys into my little dark beasts, loyal only to me and my empire, before they even have a chance to fight back. They will go through a lot of pain and love at the same time, and they will eventually lose their minds, but be blessed with new powers and new hearts... The Hearts of Darkness..." "Are you sure every shadowspawn that was brought this way, would remain loyal to you forever? And are you even sure that if it works?" a doubtful Tikiyachod asked [quote=@Lorddiviness] "Our aerial surveillance states that the Ironeagles have come out of their political bickering and elected a NEW Ceaser.. now they are more unified... That is going to be harder now.." [/quote] "W-what?" Tikiyachod exclaimed in surprise, then he went into a dreamy state as he was reminded of something. "They elected a new Kaiser... and mass human waves... don't tell me our enemy is actually a big glorified Holy Roman Empire, lel..." All the others, especially the Harkyiuian elites, stared at Tikiyachod in confusion and boredom. A deathly silence came haunting the place very soon. "Uhhh... have you played too much Europa Universalis IV?" Rhelsha mockingly asked. Tikiyachod looked around in awkwardness, and then shrugged saying, "I don't know. I always love to blurt out random shits." "Anyways, now with our enemy, the Ironeagle Empire, united, we're going to have a harder time..."
