Episode 12: Necessary Alliance on Dracosius Prime

Previously: Episode 11: Distress Signal

On Dracosius Prime, King Axandrias of Dracosia Kingdom walks in the gardens along the city walls of the capitol city. He saw his son, Prince Dorian coming towards him hastely.

Prince bows in front of his father saluting him.

King Axandrias: Good morning Dorian.

Prince Dorian: Good morning father. I’m afraid, I have unpleasant news for you?

King Axandrias: You look worried. What is it?

Prince Dorian: Our new friends from M-throne informs us that a hostile army is approaching our planet. They believe that this could be an invasion force?

King Axandrias: Who are they and where are they coming from?

Prince Dorian: I called M-throne officer, captain Vanshikin here to explain the details herself.

Captain Tiana Vanshikin comes into presense of the king bowing with reverence.

King Axandrias: Nice to see you once again captain. Perhaps you could explain me the situation in details.

Captain Vanshikin: It’s my honour to talk to you once again. Your highness. A greenskin fleet is approaching this planet and their intentions are hostile. We believe that they will assault the capitol city directly.

King Axandrias: What is a greenskin and what do they want from us?

Captain Vanshikin: Greenskins are a combination of violent and uncivilized species most of which have green colored skins. They could have a special target to achieve or they could simply look for war and conquest. Either way, we are in immediate danger and we should act quickly.

King Axandrias: What do you suggest, captain?

Captain Vanshikin: Since you have no anti-space defences so the enemy can not be stopped on the orbit. We have activated the energy shield on the military base. The shield will cover the city and protect from orbital bombardment and prevent enemies to teleport through. Most likely there will be a ground battle will be directly on us. You should mobilize every man living in your kingdom who can handle a weapon.

King Axandrias: That will be done. What would you do? Are you staying to fight with us or leaving us with our fate?

Captain Vanshikin: The Empire never leaves its allies who are in the way of greater good. Of course ee will fight alongside you.

King Axandrias: Thank you.

Captain Vanshikin: We have asked for reinforcements. Hopefully, they will come soon. You should give us a list of important locations that could be a target for the enemy and we will analyse and try to find out their main target if there is one.

King Axandrias: It will be done.

Not long after the speach between the Vanshikin and the kin, King orders every man that can handle a weapon to arms. In the armories of the kingdom various weapons ranging from swords to rifles were started to be handed out to draftees according to their skills.

Armoury personnel chief: Take your weapons and more foward to take your uniforms!

Armoury personnel chief: Hey you, green shirt guy! Make sure you trim your cave man beard before coming to the ranks. Cavemen like bearded draftee: Alright, alright. I’ll do that.

'Armoury personnel: Do you know how to handle this?

Drafftee that looks like a pirate: Of course I do. I’m using weapons like these since my childhood.

Armoury personnel chief: Pick up the pace guys. We have to be ready on the frontlines until dawn. On the next morning, King Axandrias, Prince Dorian and kings brother Prince Camadus were discussing about the plans and latest news about the enemy.

Prince Camadus: According to information we get from our M-Throne allies the enemy ships has landed out side the city outside the enermy shield dome as expected. They are forming their lines in front the city walls, the main focus seems to be… here.

King Axandrias: Here? My guess is that they will try to capture the Emerald Glaive. We should strenghten the defenses.

Prince Dorian: Maybe we should relocate the Emerald Glaive to somewhere else.

King Axandrias: The city is surrounded, Dorian. We cannot risk lives of civilians inside the city hiding it there. Besides the walls of Adrian city proved themselves to be inpenetrable. And also not only the glaive but the Statue of King Darixus the Great is important for us. It was build right on the location where he first settled to found this city. We can not abandon this location to enemies.

King Axandrias: Emerald Glaive is a heirloom of King Darixus the Great. According to legend the he forged the glaive from a stone that came from heavens and cancut through all known materials like butter. Maybe this story means that the glaive is made from an object fall to our planet that contains a high tech material.

King Axandrias: Camadus. I want you to contact our M-Thronian Allies and inform them about the Emerald Glaive. M-thronian forces should reinforce us to protect the Glaive here.

Prince Camadus: As you wish, your highness.

King Axandrias: Dorian, I want you orginize the soldiers on the wall.

Prince Dorian: As you wish, father.

They walked in front of the statue of King Darixus the Great and bowed to Show their respect and asking for his spiritual help to gain courage in the upcoming battle with a sort of prayer. Dracosiusians have a belive system in which they belive the passed away kings become sort of god-like spirits in heavens. The strongest of the spirits was the King Darixus the Great who was the creator of the Dracosius kingdom.

King Axandrias: Dear Darixus the Great, our founding father, protector of the kingdom; send us your blessings from the chambers of the heaven. Strengthen our bodies and minds to protect the kingdom you have left us.

King Axandrias: Get your weapons and execute your orders.

Prince Dorian and Prince Camadus: Yes, your highness.

As the Princes were going to get their weapons, a soldier brings the sword called -Flammenbringer- another legendary weapon fort he king. King Axandrias had been received the weapon after his father death when he bacame the king. He used it many times before but he knows that this battle would be the most important one to use it.
