Yu

Chapter one1

The Kashin took out several ships near the mainland of Layjin', pushing the forces back, only 3 made it to Yu unharmed, one sunk by the mass of the weight it had gained from spears and arrows. Though much was learned from the sailors to combat the Kashin Ships, as in the weakness is to aim for the deck, no matter what, and the sides, which was commonplace, but most of the power as at the bottom of the ship, and it was not reinforced at the top.2

The growing urge of war sent a man named Palist to the frontlines of Yu, who will take them all the way to there shores and to there capital, to there front door no less. Ryoko to aid him, but not take upon the journey through the history of it all, who will go to a distant land and talk to Foci himself, bringing the Yu population great treasures to combat the new wave of evil from the universe many years after the war against Kashin.3

General Palist was a strong man, good hieght, and well built from the years on the sea as a trader. He had studied under many Naval commanders in his days as a Layjn' Imperialist. His eyes were always looking over the horizen, he knew oneday he would be a great man of the sea. Which he already was, learning and teaching his soldiers and sailors to combat the Kashin Army and Navy.4

General Ryoko, who will be by his side was a man of great wealth of Yu. He himself bringing all the clans together and forcing the Kashin back from thier homeland centuries before, has been growing suspicious and one day, have the courage of going up against the Counsel.5

I, Admiral shall sit beside them, taking my notes, barely interacting at times, but there will be small epics where I shall be needed most. My soul is intertwined, even after there deaths, but I will always be with there sons and daughters long after. 6

"Well, well, Counsel Members of Yu, we are going to raise an army no matter what, the growing concerns of our nation against Kashin are undeniable. Our economy will boost if we can get aid from Layjin' if we start war against the Kashin's." Ryoko said, Palist standing beside him as a bodyguard, no one stood against the War Counsel to thier plans, but these two were bold, and were going to stop a threat, before they are overrun by the Kashin Army.7

Myself watching the scene, stepped to the side and watched from my side seat, awaiting for more to go on. Watching Ki's face turn with distrust immiadiatly at the thought of Yu interviening with a war against the Kashin. 8

"We will do no such thing," Counsel Ki said, but then turned his statement around, "But for you, Ryoko, we shall." The man put his hand on the table and gave the direction to the door, and they slowly began to talk about there plans. Counsel Ki was a very well known man, but he was very cruel to the population of Yu, he was corrupt from the constant traders of Kashin he talked to, thinking he was above Yu from his none-savage ways.9

How I sat up and turned with Ryoko and Palist to thier horses, I watched the men smile at there new quest to bring battle straight to the door of Kashin. I smiled to the both of them and we strode out to the distance of the Kuda Clan Castle.10

Riding along woods here and there, we saw the countryside of Yu. Flat plans going into deep woods, and then hills into the distance. As we came up a hill ourselves, I saw large mountains of the middle Yu Island, where the fiercest of warriors lay, and the strongest poeple of the world lived, to fight everyday for no reason but the feeling of happyness. We would go there someday for the hell of it, to see our worth against the weakest clans, and slowly grow into the bigger ones.11

Ryoko stood infront of his Castle, which was built about 500 years after the clans came together. His family lived there, and most of the family has ever since Yu became a nation and was put on the Global Boards, which were large maps, mostly made by the Kashin and Ticontism people. Ticontism was a country and continent off the coast of Yu and Layjin' that did not trade or talk to anyone else, but there army was well known, with strong projectile weapons, they barely had any malee power, which will soon be there weakness against the Layjin' army centuries later after the Layin' world war.12

I turned to Palist, the future in his dark purple eyes. We smiled as he sat down on the ground, we were probebly all thinking the same thing, a great war, and we would be leading it to victory. His hand's clasped together, but there was no nervous tension, exept the sensation of killing running through his vains.13

Wondering about the future he looked to Palist, who was sitting down on the ground and wondering the same thing about the recent invasions and retreats of the Kashin army. The Layjin' knew they would not stand another fight against them, and Ticontism was having problems themselves against the General Turk, which is being pulled at this very moment from Kashin to defend the homeland from an attack. Replaced with some random captain.14

I coughed into my hand, and there was a ackward silence, but our minds were very noisy indeed. From what I could see, Palist was ready to spring to saying something, but it didn't come together perfectly and he sat back down to talk, his arm flexed and then all our eye's locked.15

The three looked at eachother for a second, "What should we do Ryoko? Time after time again they have ignored our action, we are old men, we cannot stand again infront and battle ourselves." Palist said to Ryoko, who he replied, "Well, we can raise an army ourselves..?" Ryoko shrugged a bit and smiled.16

"We could, but there is something we must do first. Build ships, and then turn them against the Kashin Army, we already know how to go against them.. Palist, what do you think we should do first?" Admiral said to Palist.17

The three had a plan, "We could, we really could, we would put it in the mercenary section, and gain power that way, they wouldn't dare use our reserves to attack us, we are to rich, gather up your family, we are going to show the Kuda Families power once again to the public." Palist said to Ryoko, who nodded, going off to another direction, and Admiral sat there writing down somethings about the recent events.18

As soon as this happen, Urikaine Kuda, stepped and tripped in the doorway. A man about 5'8 he was kind of short from his other family members, but always had a smile on his face. He was lean, but strong, a good horsemen most people knew him by as he rode from town to town quickly. He knew a lot about spears, and a lot about a sword, he had been training all his life for no reason, he was with Ryoko when 16 of the Kuda Family members went against a larger clan of 75 and destroyed them, watching and learning from his father's prowess in fighting.19

Urikaine Kuda ate a lot, but never gained a pound, he wore light leather armor all the time, even when he rode into town, with a purple sash acrossed his stomach to identify who he was. He had a naturally straight back, he looked a lot taller then he already was, and he knew that, for his black hair was darker then the night sky, and looked as if it consumed the area around it, as so his eyes.20

He rode everywhere, through the countrysides, he never worried about a mate or anything about friend's, he rode and rode, and never got tired. He learned to ride from his father, his father never learned how to ride a horse though. They both loved the sea, Urikaine Kuda would become great one day, as his father said this, "Urikaine Kuda is a gloryious boy, I espect him to be the best of this clan has to offer if we ever go to war, I want him on the frontlines like his father!" Ryoko explained.21

As I sat down on the ground, I watched a large flag be brought to the center of the camp, and along the flag poles there was also flags ready to be set into place for the recent show that was going to be underway. The Kuda Clan was ready to show to there poeple that they were still alive.22

That night flags were found and raised above all the outlieing castles of Yu, a purple flag of the Kuda Clan Family. It had a mountain in the middle of it with 14 stars, to commend to the death of 14 soldiers that died for the Kuda Clan during the uniteing of the clans against the Kashin long time ago. Palist was there, even though he was from another clan, he was a very well friend of Ryoko, and served him into countless battles. I was from another part of the many vast Yu Islands, we were stationed in the North, and I was born in the deep South, where we have no contact with any other clans, exept when we were invaded by the Kashin, we pulled out and went into the Northern Islands to tell that they were invading down there.23

The flags were powerful symbols for the Yu Isles, they showed that they were not barbarians anymore, but humans, humans indeed. "We will never let those flag drop, if we go against the Kashin, we will be riding with them stick in our backs, and piles upon piles of body before I see one of those fall." Ryoko said, which moralized the family of there proud heritage.24

I sat there for many hours, listening in to there conversations, and laughing at there stupid actions they made when they were talking. I could only tell them about my first military experience when I was 13 and another clan attacked, where I sat beside my father and took 20 men into his boat and sailed and landed nearby, attacking from there back-rear and toppled the invaders.25

They talked about countless battles that night, "Remember when that man from Layjin' came and helped us out in the battles against the Nalp Clan? He was a glorious man, I can't remember wherever he went." Justin said, who had the same build as Urikaine, but had this more Ryoko taste to him.26

As the day dawned, most of the members of the family got up, and got the flags from storage. The grandest of horses were set with plated armor, and they wore there greatest of there armor and clothing today. As the gates of the Castle opened, they slowly walked out, a purple mesh of some black too, gothic warriors. 27

They strode out to the villages, picking up any warriors that would aid them in getting a army together. Passing by one, they gathered almost 40, and it began to build. They were told to go to the Lasting Outpost and await to be asigned posts and what unite and what were they best with soon. 28

For I sat in the back, watching the column of men get larger and larger, my eyes taking in the view as we passed all the villages, men who wanted to fight, joined, and those who couldn't or didn't want to stayed. One odd thing came from an old man, in his late 80's who was frankly, barely alive, "Remember.. in the desert you have no name, for that you have no one to give you one,' and he passed away. Wise men and madmen are always to be trusted and revered, for that there knowledge is old and decrepit. 29

As the Kuda Clan went throughout the country side, the War Counsel gave orders in the Capital, which was Yu and sent 5000 soldiers to the Lasting Outpost. Yu had an army, "Yu had an army!" Ryoko said in his head before he spoke out loud in front of the villagers, who just woke up and wanted to see what was going on. More and more gathered, and before they new it, they had a force of 15000 almost ready for battle.30

I smiled at the quest well done, forces came from all over, and ships were sent to the middle Isle to collect mercenaries that wanted to battle against foreign enemies. My soul lurched forward, as I wanted to see the distant sea's, and the people, animals, land's that lay far, far, far away.31

Blacksmiths were hired all across the land, making armor custom made and money paid fully by Ryoko's family money, which was vast compared to many. Ryoko puffed out his chest as he walked into the Capital with Palist beside him, they strode together with strength and fertility of there new found strength. 32

Hammers and pounding went all around Yu for the weeks that the ships, and the army was being built. Everyone and everything had a part in the war-plan that was going on, and no one left the Yu continent, for that the fear of spies is very powerful.33

He walked over to the gates of the Counsel, bashing it down he ran over to Ki and hugged him, Ryoko of course, Palist sat by the door. "Thank you Ki, we needed those forces, we have a army of 15000, we now need ships, can you offer us some hand in that?" Ryoko asked, Ki replied, "Yes, we will give you all the money and men you need for the task of that, but hurry, Kashin forces were sighted off the coast of Gnoll, headed here, or to invade Gnoll, we do not know." he said gravely. 34

As we moved through the town, I noticed that Yu was becoming more modernized by the travelers of far who wanted to come here. Trading and a lot of mixing in the cultures turned Yu into more of a republic, which money, but no taxes. "Most of Yu's money comes from it's power to produce it, but since we do not believe in currency, we do not need it, take our homes, we fair in the woods." Admiral took from a Yu soldier during the first invasion of Kashin forces.35

They got to there horses outside of the Capital and moved to a ship yard in the back of the Yu Island, near the middle, hired 2000 workers to amass 1000 ships, and one after his great, great, grandfather, Armstaggin'. The money was paid to every worker, and the ships were costume built as so the armor, so they could see what man liked the most, a small ship, or a big ship, so they could adjust to the way it was made. 36

Armstaggin' was a 10 rowed balista boat, huge compared to the Kashin boats of 3 balista rows. It was very long too, and going to be well built to stand any attack from the Kashin army, which lay only a couple weeks away. The massive haul accomplished well over most of the army, but what our strength was fine vessels, fine men, and not many numbers.37

Chapter Two - On standby38

The Yu islands started to gather more and more wood, more and more power, and more and more forces. Slowly from there after, became an empire. The Boats were getting finished in a successful speed of 7 boats a day, with how many workers doing one at once, refreshing them with new task-workers and then setting up for another row of fresh men to work some more. The blacksmiths were making a slow pace though, the swords and spears would be finished later on because they would be needed to fit each soldier for what they wanted the length of handles and the length of the sword itself. "Haha, we will have a fully optimal army capable of taking on units three times it's own size!" Ryoko laughed into his hand as Palist examined the ships, Palist replied, "What we wished.. but you see, Ryoko, that is what we want. The rush of battle, the taste of blood in our mouths, for that we are from Yu!" He held up his hand and troops all over the ship were re moralized to the stake at hand. This was a stake, if we lost, it was all over.39

Men gathered as they finished there boats main deck, throwing up the poles, lining them with rope, and then giving them to there owners to try out on the ocean for many people's first time. I myself sitting on one boat to get a feel for it again, being away from a boat for about a week, it was an easy adjustment, I was born on the sea, as a lot and a lot not of people from Yu. Some were inlander's, who never seen the sea in their lives, then there is the men who never seen the mountain terrain that lives in the distant insides of Yu's heartland.40

"Very good job, this are brilliant, if I say so myself. I would hate to go against these any day, they seem like they could hit some good miles a day!" Palist spoke to the men that were working, "I design them with the help of a special general of Layjin, general Tyler, he is a good man, and fierce in combat, he pushed the Kashin back several times from his homeland. I hope my boy fights beside him one day to show how another general fights just like us at home!" Ryoko laughed a bit.41

I inspected the boats myself, smiling in glee at there success. Yu was not a sea-faring society, but we could make very good war ships and vessels built for speed and stamina, now they are being made for strength. My finger types running along the deck of three that day, I saw much success in them, the finest of the Yu's Navy.42

The days passed quietly almost, many people running back and fourth to get jobs done, Ryoko and Palist were training the army for the upcoming battles when they stepped forward into the unknown Kashin Continent, they researched there battle tactics with Ticontism, and were surprised that they were always in a big column, and never went to the side, and it was usually squared, one big square army, nothing they have ever fought with.43

"They fight in columns, they stand in a group, how.. what is it called Ryoko?" Admiral said to Ryoko, turning to him within the comfort of his chair, "Well, I guess they must be afraid of death, the Kashin people have not seen battle against us, only stories, so they will be needing a big column to fight against our poor organization skills," Ryoko replied, and Admiral snapped, "We do not have poor organization skills, we like to fight with open arms to the enemy, that is why we win, they get arrogant and try to charge us, but we are all different, kill one of us finally, the other one will be different, but the Kashin, they fight in the same style all the time," Admiral said to Ryoko, who nodded with the knowledge gained from that.44

Since many of the Yu people already had bows, they were already skilled enough with them, and Ryoko spent more time teaching people how to ride a horse, and himself, and one man alone made a inspiration out of all of these men, well, two men did, Firebid and Urikaine Kuda. Firebid and Urikaine kuda pulled themselves up the rank through there shear knowing of the horses and how to manuver them through tough terrian and to swiftly jerk them to the side from going straight forward, and they brilliant in doing so, and got Calvery Captains before they could go onto the field. 45

General Palist was in charge of the Navy, he already showed himself brave when he would be attacked by Kashin ships off the coast of Gnoll and Layjin', mistaken for a spy vessal, he would ride up to there bowl and yell at them from his small ship, he was very scary when he got mad. 46

Admiral was a historian/admiral ranked but would not serve in any of the battle plans during the remainder of the war, but after will get honor titles for his bravery in battle.I regreted no plan that I gave, because, all the plans I gave were always on the winning portion of battle, and none I gave fitted against thier plans.47

Every man closed there eyes, and they slowly became more skilled with everything they had already trained through, almost in complete and udder solitude of blindness, they learned to fight against eachother, slowly becoming stronger with drills and more drills, everyone using there own fighting style and stanced, while even remained in a group, or unit. They learned to be close over time, outside the Kuda Clan Fortess, which always had it's flag overhead. 48

Over the vast months of planning, everything was made, all the ships were in order, and men and woman got there weapons and armor. All of the men lines up, men were given there weapons and they got there armor. Slowly they were stacked together, and everyone was given which line they wanted to be in, who they wanted to be next to, who they trained with, and they became an army of friends. 49

Ryoko opened up the doors to the Yu Counsel Hall, and they were talking about the Kuda Clan, which Ryoko shrugged off and shook his head and then spoke to them, "I am taking 1000 forces on my own, wood and all, 200 ships and we are going to Kashin, by tommorrow, I have everything set together, Palist will be with me. Goodbye Counsel, I wish you luck." Ryoko turned and walked out the door, closing it behind him, a surge of energy from his youth came through him, he would be battleing it out against the Kashin.50

That night men gathered around campfires and they looked into them deeply, orginizing there thoughts as Ryoko gave the orders, they were now elites in training, there forearms raw with the new muscle and the weapons that lay in there hands. They held there heads high that they would be better, they would take the Kashin by storm. 51

Ryoko elected Nofross as the general of the remaining Yu army of about 19,000. Ryoko wanted to scout and get ready for the upcoming invasion that would be behind him soon after he leaves. As Ryoko set off, many new hopes came into being as the Kuda Clan flag was put above there ship, it was a awesome sight to see.52

Chapter Three - 53

Ryoko gathered his men and huddled them for the taking of the first Kashin Ship that lay half a mile away from them, they gathered there honor and hope to take the Capital Ship that lay infront of them, guarding it was 400 ships, he had only 200.54

"Give them more then they can take, fight to the fullest, and make their mother feel it!" The ship went at full speed ahead, coming against the haul of the other ship, which it almost rolled over to the side from impact, crackeling and splintering, as Yu forces rolled in viscously attacking with spears, axes, and swords against pathetic Rapiers, which broke and the Capital ship was taken over. 55

Palist which was on that ship turned the ship to it's own, fireing the balista's into the sides of the others ships around him as men fired crossbows and killing captains. The Yu Navy was winning it's first Champain. The Yu boats turned back, and then turned a swift turn which almost costed a couple ships into eachother, turning they fired, turning back to reload, and then coming again. Some rammed into other ships and took them over, slowly, and swiftly at the same time, the pace was taking it's toll on the Kashin Navy.56

From my spot next to Palist, the navy column moved forwad, opening up slowly and then quickly, one way hit the and then a reloading, as they pushed forward against the Kashin lines. 57

"Fire at will, but fire at targets!" Admiral leaped from his chair and yelled to the captains. The Yu Navy moved into the Kashin lines, opening fire everywere, as the Kashin had no time to recover as 'Ramming Ships' which they were called now rammed into the Kashin and stormed across, pillaging it and killing the captain before he jumped. Taking that ship and pulling the ramming ship off there side they opened fire on the Kashin Navy some more.58

This went on late into the day, fireing and fireing they were against the Kashin. Many Captain Ships were lost, and the Kashin were forced to retreat back into Gnoll shipyards which they met resistance and a following Yu Navy, and the Kashin Navy was crushed. "What a site to see, we have won our first champain against the greatest military in the world, next to ours." Admiral boldly said.59

During the night one vessal managed to excape our sight as we held the rest of the Navy Hostage, but that ship was sunk due to a reef it couldn't see. A lot of things were going well for the Yu Navy, which has battled a foe half it's size, "Foci is on our side in this war, we shall be able to take Kashin by next week if this keeps up!" Ryoko and Palist laughed as the descent moved forward, and at the last moments they fired all guns at the Kashin boats, destroying them almost on the first wave of Balista rounds, we reloaded, and fired again, not one lay above the water in the morning. 60

The Kashin Navy General through himself overboard and was found surely by a Yu Scouting boat and taken to the Yu General. "Well, well, we have a Admiral with no ship, what I shame. We have no policies, or peace treaties, we are men of Yu, we will send you back under strict orders, we are in war production, we have a dispensable army, and you will never defeat us." Ryoko said with honor flaring in his eyes as the commander was sent back on a captured ship, with a Kuda Clan flag over the Kashin one, a symbol of demoralization was at hand for them.61

The first Champain was done, now they must get over to the Foci Lands or Layjin', with no maps they knew nothing of the terrian, but they were going to learn, they had 2 months of food, and it takes 1 week to get to Kashin, they were going to lay waste to any porting ship of the Kashin. As they turned away from Gnoll, Admiral took his first men into battle against many porting cities and lay siege to them, and then turning back to the Yu Army upon his successes against the ports, losing no ship.62

I turned around, seeing a fine man in front of me, who looked as if he was not from Kashin Descent, but from Layjin', turning again to see Ryoko's face, who was bent on finding out information about the man from the capitlist ship.63

They found many, even one of the grandest Capitalist ship, which Ryoko found a man named Xavier on. "My name is Xavier, I am a man of the Layjin', we have been suspecting you, General," he bowed to Palist, and then looked to Ryoko, bowing again he said, "Generals, I correct myself." He smiled a benevolent smile.64

"What are you doing on a Kashin Capital ship?" Palist said in a modest tone, and tune, Xavier replying, "I was sent by the Layjin' Government, we knew you would be coming out here, in my bags are some maps," the man did say that with two daggers in his hands, and three Yu soldiers were skewered by him, but the only way he lived was by a Captain named Tison, "The man didn't attempt to kill those men, he didn't attack and vital organs, he is skilled, we could use him," the man saved Xaviers life.65

I nodded to Tison, was came into the room, about 5'6, skinny, but had a good aura about him. "Hello Tison, good to hear from you again, and see you," I said, turning then to Ryoko as he nodded to Tison.66

The man was Tison, a brilliant man of the last Island of Yu, he was educated in the Capital, but he was nothing like them. He had the honorable tune and tones of a battle men like Ryoko, always willing to go into the front lines and fight a clean and well designed fight. "Tison will be on my side till' I leave this place, and die." Palist said, patting Tison on the back gently.67

I turned, hearing footsteps coming from our port side, throwing a crossbow in front of me as the door swung open, my finger against the trigger as a scout opened the door and stepped forward. My hand put the crossbow down and the soldier spoke.68

"Kashin sighted in and of the West sir, they are coming from the North of the continent of Gnoll, we should advance and storm there front." a Scout said, as the man took a step forward, his eyes filled with tears in his eyes as smoke rose from the side of the ship.69

"Whoa, what is that some coming from," Admiral sprang into action, but the scout calmly said, "Our cook made a little mess, and it burning the raw meat in the cargo to get rid of infected disease, even though I wouldn't mind having a bite out of it, I have been up on.." Ryoko shushed him as a ballista ran straight into the side of the ship, everyone sprung to there feet then.70

Ryoko and Palist had other plans, "Use the swift ships, and run along side of them, and fire, fire, fire!" Ryoko said with his powerful voice as Palist did not have, 'what a good team', Tison said to himself, as he told his men to align and get ready to attack one side of a ship.71

Looking at both of them, I smiled, turning my hands against a crossbow and firing at anyone I could see from another ship, "3.." firing right into the chest of one, I turned and reloaded, but as that moment happen, a ballista shot out from a capital ship, hitting right dead center toward myself. Grabbing the railing of the ship, I leaped forward, throwing myself into another ship, running through it and throwing myself onto another, a Yu ship this time.72

Turning around, I saw Ryoko pulling his voice into action, and orders were yelled, "Light ships go along the line and fire, and then heavy go along the sides of the army, suround them! They are getting ready for a retreat!", and from my view, all looked well for this battle.73

The orders were given, the light and swift ships went along the Kashin front and fired, taking down some of the ships but did not sink them. "They are turning, send the heavy Capital Ship Foust!" Palist said with full force, Ryoko repeating him slightly afterwards, the pair was very well calculated and by Kashin Captains after the war, they were thought to always be beside eachother in every battle, no matter what.74

Soon the Kashin Navy retreated, as the front line of Ships turned, they soon fell before they could fire, the ballista's had made most of the balista's themselves damaged and destroyed. "Another Victory and a job well done for the Yu Navy!" men cheered from ship to ship, and another soldiers said, "We didn't even lose a single man or ship.." He was rubbing his eyes.75

I patted the back of the general's soon-after, telling them of the story of the ballista that was fired upon me, and then making sure that I wrote down everything that happened during this day, which had much controversial things about it, the Kashin Army did take a ship down, but it was a scouting ship before the battle, did that count? I stayed up all last night trying to figure out if that counted or not, so I didn't put that in there.76

As the Kashin retreated the devised a plan to quickly move there forces East and then pull around in a circle, covering out Main Ship with the General's inside of it. But they did not have enough time for the maneuver, two days has passed, they must get to the shores of the Kashin continent before Layjin' falls and Kashin has a main army to attack with.77

A lot of men slept that night, but Ryoko and Palist, they were going to sleep in the day tomorrow. The second champaign of the War went underway, the navy battle of Set Speed was it's name. Yu was slowly becoming a super-power, with the luck they have been gave, they will now seek there eyes on the capital of Kashin, but they would go through some hard times before-hand.78

On the third day, which was now, they moved there whole fleet in a North East pattern, no ship lay to far away, no ship lay to close to each other, they were ready to resume a attack pattern and ram the front lines of Kashin's Navy at anytime. Later in the day they went over the maps and learned they were getting close to the Continent of Layjin', and they started to see more Fleets of Trade Ships, which were fired at, and a lot of them sunk. 79

The Yu Navy halted, from Layjin' they saw vessels approaching, the Yu Navy spread apart in two patterns, seeing the Kashin Flags, they were going to use a new tactic against them to keep as if they were switching general's, but they were using old tactics.80

These old tactics, were my plan of course, which were called Double Tanking. Splitting the army into two parts and throwing swift ships first, flanking, pulling back and slamming huge ships forward into them. Turning back and then flanking with small and swift ships, turning again, constantly switching out ships, and using a low number of them.81

The Kashin and Yu fronts slammed in front of each other, and a vicious battle went underway, destroying half of each others army and laying waste to anything they could scrap together. Plans were ruined on both sides, and the Main Ship of the Yu armor was damaged, but General Palist held firm. It went well, and in the middle of the battle I was forced to go onto Urikaine's ship because of Ryoko's yelling disturbed my writing sometimes.82

In the middle of the battle, Ryoko's ship was taken by a huge gale, and it went swiftly out of site of both armies, as the day went on. The battle for Layjin' was undergoing, but the Yu navy had only 50 ships and the Kashin Navy had 400, the Yu Navy retreated, a loss on the 3rd champaign, and a missing General afoot.83

"What the hell, where is General Ryoko!?" I scrambled his ship through the whole line, he knew the ship did not sink, for that the ship was unsinkable in the minds of the commanders of the Yu world, for that precious cargo could not be lost now.84

As I walked through the halls of ships, I tried to get all information I could, coming to a soldier in the last hall of one ship who seemed to know what he was talking about. He was a captain, and told me this.85

"I heard it went off during that gale, and headed to Ticontism in a stream, it could be in Foci it was going so fast," A Captain said as he turned to Admiral and saw the warnings of a horrible omen aput.86

Chapter Four - What happen to Ryoko87

Ryoko's ship collided into a deserts Island off the coast of Kashin, throwing him and his soldiers off and rolling. Some men got back up, but some had shattered bones and coughing up blood from impact. 88

Ryoko went to one of his Captains, "What happened?", he replied, "I do not know, I don't even know if this is Kashin or Foci Lands, I have no idea where we are, we lost everything in the battle, we may be the only ones left." he then stopped.89

The General tried to get a look around, moving his eyes there, and finding scraps of his ship still intact he made a small campfire and night quickly came as they told stories and tried to find where they were. Ryoko said, "We will be moving away from here, pack your bags, we are leaving as soon as I see sun. Something in my gut tells me to go West." Ryoko and the soldiers drifted off to sleep in the boat that was half smashed into Desert Sand.90

As the Sun rose, so did Ryoko, his 20 men and him moving out with packed bags and enough food to last them a long time, a good long time. They came to no villages, but a small forest, no animals could be seen, they even knew in Kashin they had animals in the desert.91

As they walked a couple miles, they came crossed a Pyramid, with the largest statues alive, it's eyes glowed as if it were alive. As the Column of soldiers inched forward, the Golem moved and twitched, lifting it's arm, and swung down toward the men. Ryoko gasped, and jumped back as the hand stopped a couple feet away from the men, and a person's voice was heard in the distance.92

"Hold creation of Foci, they come in peace, they were sent to come to Foci and teach the ways of prosperity. They deserve to be in this land." the man said from atop the pyramid, followed be, "Come inside men of Yu." as a large block from the pyramid dissapeared and they went inside of it.93

They walked the halls for hours, then coming to a room that was very dark, with much marble that in cased it, in the middle there was a dug in place with a man standing in the circle, many runes were glowing. "I am Foci, I have heard of your conquests Ryoko, I am almost smiling for you." the man bowed to him.94

Ryoko was stunned, he did not fumble, "Thank you Foci," he bowed back to the man, "Thank you for your hostility, but what brings me here to you?" They all sat down on some chairs and listened.95

"I bring you good news, your lands have been fruitful and your men strong, your woman kind, and your power unbeatable because your lands are not like others. You have no arrogant people, you do not care much for money, they is no peasants except for the men who want to be. You will all be rewarded with the power to manipulate what is around you for War and Peace." He smiled to the men, and Ryoko's captain Mark smiled as they were all getting the knowledge and powers that will be called Of Medea, and Of One.96

Of Medea was a style to manipulate forces around them to fight and make things work in the order they were supposed to happen, or how they want them to happen. To manipulate fire, water, and all the elements needed for this power to work.97

Of One, is the style to manipulate the forces inside of you to transform them into you and use them for physical and mental powers. Extra strength and force to lift and destroy, to open your mind upon the world and learn things much easier.98

The styles were all in the men that lay before Foci, now they slowly altered there minds to the new force in them, they trained.99

"Train now, use the forces around this room till' you feel necessary to go back to Yu and teach them, you will know how once you leave this place, I will make sure of it, now, train my son." Foci said, smiling to Ryoko.100

I had to use Foci's records, who allowed me to after this war and did not use any tales, and after the war I asked Ryoko about his trip to Foci, and he gave me this information.101

Chapter Six - Yu forces meet Palist102

"I am being followed from my rear, they are attacking my forces as they retreat, we must turn around quickly now and destroy them all as they come back." Palist said to his Captains as they turned and rushed into Kashin lines that weren't prepared as the Yu boats came from all directions, coming along there rear as men slashed through there middle line of boats. The 4th champaign was a draw as they both moved back and slashed each other over and over again, until the Kashin simply retreated with only 130 ships left and the Yu Navy with 1500 coming here and there, heavy ships in the back still, and moved into a large column.103

"We lost Ryoko, we do now know where he is, we must get to Kashin before those men do, Justin, Urikaine, hurry your column to the front and lets get this all underway." He stopped and then gave the order from another boat and to another boat, that boat said to another, and then the column of 1500 ships moved torward Kashin.104

General Nofross was already 300 miles in front of them with his 1000 men ready for battle to get onto the shores of Kashin, which was not waiting for them, they would surprise attack the Kashin's surely. "We will get our revenge for Ryoko, if he was killed, but we will be kind enough to take no prisoners!" he said, his men cheering with him, they knew that they were the first to fight this war, die or not, Ryoko was the country, he the the land, the sea, the mountains, in the blood of the children, mothers, fathers, the family.105

After a couple days the Kashin finally gave there last charge, but due to the shear number of the column, they were savagely ripped apart before one ship could get 100 years of the ships, destroyed instantly. Taking the Admiral Seventho down in the charge, he thought he could make it out the other side of our army if he charged hard enough, even with the gale behind him, he was destroyed quickly. "Fool.." Admiral Palist said.106

The 5-5 had matched itself, losing only one of the Champaign, Yu was victorious on the navy side of the war, and would never be matched in a sea battle, at least they hoped. 107

Chapter Seven - Invasion of Kashin 1-35108

General Nofross ran his ships ashore, the front of them opening up as the men poured ashore, bows and crossbows first to insure that they are not going to be fired upon so easily without resistance, but there was no army in front of them. He went forward into the territory of the Kashin, as an army was awaiting from his rear, charging him, one soldier recalled the general's fighting style. "He fought with the largest shield, swinging it savagely, throwing Kashin to the side, swinging his short sword, I would mistaken him for the Foci himself, his height was compared to the Kashin soldiers, who fell back on other soldiers as he moved forward, throwing other men to the ground, and ripping them apart.109

Spear men charged, as with the calvary, smashing into the Yu lines and ripping them apart, destroying everything that was left of it. Only a thousand were standing that day, Nofross gave a last charge and stand with his captains, taking down as many as he could, throwing and savagely killing almost 200 men in that battle, he was a good general, his captains giving battle calls as men swarmed into them, spearing them, as they fought back. Throwing spears aside and men, Nofross was finally silenced with 5 men spearing him through the chest, gut, and throat. 110

1 out of the 35 champaign's of Kashin was lost called the Battle of Nofross, but glorious one it was, Nofross would be remembered in due time. But now the Kashin knew they were coming, and fierce and hard they would be, in the records they do not know how many Kashin died that day, but the force they had was 50000 men, half of there army, the other half was in Layjin', ripping it apart.111

General Soy'lerg spoke out loud to his Kashin Commanders, "Hhaha, we shall take them out soon, onward, scouts go out and find the boats where there will be reinforcements for these forsaken people. I will be resting, captains, come, lets have a drink," he said as he turned himself to his camp.112

Many of the Kashin generals sat in tents during battles, not ever seeing the general's faces unless a peace treaty was erected or his army was destroyed, and they were coming to his camp. 113

The tale came to General Palist who stationed himself onto the shores from a scout who ran from the battle of Nofross, telling of the tale and how he took down so many soldiers that we had to woke around the wall behind him to get to him after he called for his captains. He would not have surrendered, never in his life Nofross surrendered, that is why he was Ryoko's brother, Justin Kuda said as he walked with his regiment of soldiers that were more then soldiers to him, they were friend's and allies, such as Urikaine's calvary unit.114

Soy'lerg came from the North East, and Palist arranged his forced for the 2nd champaign of 35, he looked out toward the army and concentrated, he put his pike men in front of him, long spears and then short ones, then he switched them out to make them look like they were confused, but he was actually moving his crossbows behind his long spear men, and moving his archers to the sides of his army. The calvary were in the back and ready to spring when the moment was right for Palist.115

Soy'lerg charged his calvary like Palist expected, throwing themselves right into the line of fire for the Crossbowmen as they got into 50 yards of range and massacred. From the sides of Palist's army he threw his arrow men into gear, spears destroying the calvary were the lay. "Reload... fire!" another volley of bolts came from the crossbows, leaking most of the calvary that halted from the captain with was a doomed mistake.116

The horrow on the captain's face was never made again, as another volley shot and ripped through the calvary again, almost taking out more then half now. The Captain panicked and threw his men forward into a suicide attempt, as the Yu army was splitting for it's great manuaver.117

The Yu army split on it's own, and a swift calvary charge from the middle, and both of the sides, as footmen came behind them, the calvary smashing into the Kashin Calvary, ripping them apart. The Kashin Captains not knowing what to do because there general was far behind them in a camp, didn't suspect this to happen.118

Foot soldiers to foot soldiers as calvary ripped through the foot soldiers and main column of the Kashin army, the footmen following behind and massacring the rest of them. The Kashin army pulled back, but another wave of Calvary Justin and Urikaine came from the side, 100 men in both.119

My eyes shifted from side to side, looking about the column as they charged, ripping each other apart. The small number of the Yu army was made up with the skill of it's fighters. "Beautiful artwork, these men that will live as tales for new generations to come, if there is." I smiled with great anxiousness to write.120

"Haha, men, stay close together with me, see that little break in there right top? Aim for that, defend me, I am going straight through!" He lifted his spear, as his group rampaged through the top right of the Kashin Army, tackled to the ground by a Kashin soldier, Urikaine fought back desperately for his life, grabbing the soldier as dead lay all around him.121

My eyes watched, turning my form around as another army came from our side. Palist was forced to retreat as another army came forward, he had no calvary and didn't want to lose any of it, so he pulled back, the calvary then pulled back with him, and awaited orders. Sitting down in a small camp, we awaited to learn about the losses and wins about the battle, but there was no record upon how many they killed.122

Urikaine Kuda lay under a bunch of dead bodies, pulling them off he was covered in blood, and was surrounded by the Kashin army, but no one noticed him. "Wha-what happen?" a Kashin guard saw him, and helped him up, brushing him off slightly before realizing it was the enemy.123

Guards came after him as he ran toward a horse, tackling one of the calvary men off his horse which was stolen during the run and rode off toward the army column, he was almost killed. Myself took note that he was very brave and that was a omen that he might be great one day with his speed and accuracy to not panic under such events.124

As I sat down in my chair, I awaited orders about how many were lost, and who won the battle, it wasn't known yet, but it was our lose, but not in numbers, but the retreat.125

Urikaine Kuda came into camp, bloody as hell, Justin Kuda came over to him, "What the hell happened to you dude?" the man tilted his head to the side of his brother, as he replied, "I.. I don't know, I was charging and I saw the break, ran straight into it and someone tackled me off my horse, I got up, and some Kashin soldier helped me up, I pushed him to the ground and grabbed my horse and flee'd, am.. am.. I alright?" the soft spoken man was shaking and Justin Kuda inspected him, "You look alright, no wounds, but you are covered in blood, how many did you kill?", he replied, "Three."126

From my chair and tent, I watched the column move and make a camp near a small village that was neutral to the war. The Column sat down and rested for a bit, wondering about the next day, and if that was skill, or was that pure luck they took down that battalion of Kashin soldiers? They did not know, but they rested well, they wouldn't dare to attack us again now. 127

Back in the Camp of Kashin, the general was stunned by the outcome of the battle, knowing not what to say to the president of Kashin, Sphinx about his outcome in battle, he shrugged it off, and then later sent a letter saying Sol'lerg has it all under control, it was all luck. They were afraid, that Foci might just be on there side in this one.128

My eyes watched, my hands rubbing against each other as people walked into camp on horses. A young woman came from the ranks, a Sargeant already, her name was Crystal, one of Urikaine Kuda's calverymen. She was well built for her beauty, she was in the front lines and doing well under such the pathetic command of the soft-spoken man that turned into a Calvary Captain in the middle of battle. My eye looked on her, her arms built well as she would make a good General of the Yu army, or a great calvary captain someday.129

I smiled, as a women came from the ranks and went forward. She walked over to Urikaine Kuda, bowing her head as she looked toward the ground, "There is something grave on the horizon, I must talk to Tison, there is people who have snuck onto our boats, they are kids, and one of my brother, is there anyway I could send them home?" she said, her eyes sparkling.130

I noticed something then, Crystal had this twinkle in her eye every time she would speak of Tison, they made frequent gatherings together, but as of now, she wanted to meet him for the first time.131

He had to, moving over to Palist, he hinted him to come over to him, from his horse, which was visible, and thank Foci he was known. "Well, this woman says there are kids in these regiments, and they have snuck onto our ships, and one is her brother, a kid sir." He tilted his head to the side as they looked to the woman.132

"Well, there is one thing I can do, and that is make them fight for there country, we cannot send for reinforcements yet, the waters are to dangerous to go right now. And we do not want to risk the kids life, do ya? I will put them in the back of the army, safe, they can rise through ranks there and age, this war is going to last a long time." The words echoed through her eyes and ears, Palist was a good talker, it was better then she expected, she shrugged and said, "I shall get him and tell him the news, thank you General Palist, but can I speak with Tison please?" her eyes were glowing again and Palist hinted over to Tison for her.133

Tison and her talked about the plans ahead, he only talked to her about them for some reason, they had this connection or something. "Hehh, what brings you to the front lines? Most woman like to stay in the back and make food for us and stuff, but you like to share blood and death with these soldiers, why?" Tison said to Crystal, and she replied, "Hey, I am not an average woman, I don't like staying in one place, I cannot," she said with a little honor in her tone and tune.134

From looking at the two, they seemed like a perfect pair, laughing almost inside as Urikaine came into the picture, almost hitting into one dude and spinning slightly to catch his balance, he knocked right into a, "Kid?". Turning my head, I wrote what had happened next down.135

He simply smiled to her, and Urikaine Kuda came into the picture, knocking into some kid, not noticing the kid there, "Hey there, what is your name, are you Crystal's brother?" Urikaine said, the kid replied, "Yes... my name is Kento, I am 14, and loyal to my country!" The little man saluted and the vigor in his eyes were known.136

Urikaine smiled to the guy and brushed his hair out of his eyes, "The time is going to come soon, we may not make it out of here alive, but we will give them hell, do not faultier, okay kid?" Urikaine said before leaving them all together. Crystal eyed him as he left, and mysteriously, Crystal became a Colonel and Urikaine became a Master Calvary men, but did not order Justin around, Justin was his own support unit.137

Night fell onto the camp, and everyone was given orders to move out when the sun rised. Cracking his neck, Palist gave a sudden speech, "We will follow Firebid to the heart of Kashin, he knows his way, then we will split, I will be taking Justin's calvary and half of Urikaine's and taking it to go against the Northern Kashin, Urikaine, you will be incharge with Firebid to go to the south and find something that could help us in this war, goodluck on tommorrow soldiers, we will be moving quickly, travel light.138

I sat down in my tent, outside the village with a sword and armor on. My belt had a couple drinks around it, I was afraid of dehydration. My form ached though, the heat on our backs, throughout the day, people grew reder and reder in the battle, and now myself, was red.139

General Turk arrived in Kashin, meeting the army and was slammed, but in a desperate attempt, which costed the Kashin army a grave amount of dead, General Tyler smashed his calvery all the way through the Kashin rear. But when victory seemed almost there, the Kashin got rienforcements and Tyler was ripped in half by the sudden force that came over his army and he was pushed back into his boat and retreated.140

Chapter Eight - Justin is killed141

As we walked started to work on a bridge, we split, turning the army into two parts. After the army was split at a river, which a bridge was made and across the river Urikaine went. Under command of Palist and Justin they moved to the North, and Urikaine to the South. Now, the eyes are on Justin Kuda.142

"Justin, we will be moving out swiftly and past the Kashin capital with the 10,000 men we have, Urikaine has about 5000, he will be good to go for now. Allies from Ticontism and Layjin' will come after they regain there powers from the Kashin invasion. On our way we will.." he paused as he saw movement in front of them, raising his hand his captains halted there forces, a Kashin Calvary was 1000 yards in front of them. 143

As they talked, I saw men hug and shake each others hand, remembering there enemies and pushing them to the side, friend's coming together in the ranks and split the army in a friendly and friendly side. People picked and choice who would go and who wouldn't. Brothers and friend's hugged each other and stood beside, and after the army as accumulated, they head off.144

Justin Kuda moved his calvery forward, they have never went against another calvary at full force, but they moved there crossbows into action, and the bowmen to the sides. As the Kashin came into 100 yards in front of them, the crossbow men fired, and sterd Justin's horses, and they charged at full force, lifting there spears, they rampaged against the Kashin Calvery. My foot stood firm, throwing my notes into my chestplate, I pulled my forearm forward, throwing a hand infront of me and got into form, throwing my scabbard up, slashing through armor and cutting through anything that came infront of me.145

From my point of view the Kashin frontline was slaughtered and massacred, pulling back and fired again over and over again. My scabbard falling to my side and into the sheath, turning my pen against paper and telling of the battle that unfolded.146

Smashing against it they pulled back, and the crossbowmen fired and the bowmen came from the sides of the army and fired on the Kashin calvery, it was a draw as both armies stared at eachother from afar. Palist looked to his captains to what to do, and then spoke outloud, "We will charge, for Urikaine, we will take down this army, and we will charge, and charge, till we cannot stop, till we die." The captain's hinted to retreat back, as they did the Kashin charged, in a frenzy, the Yu army turned around and ran straight into there lines, crossbowmen fireing and fireing as they ran, bowmen running and fireing as they used there bows, daggers, and blades that they picked up, using fists and fighting back at the Kashin in a frenzy that couldn't be matched.147

A frenzy was created in the middle of the mosh pit of forces, purple and green armor mixed together as they were battleing with anything they could pick up, from swords to shields, to fist to fist, to head to head, the battle was on. Sitting back I did not go into battle anymore, looking at the site and writing it down.148

Fist and sword, sword and spear, shield to shield, the Yu forces pushed back the Kashin, who were in a full charge. Slowly they bashed there heads into the chest of the Kashin, kicking, biting, tackling, "This is insane! Retreat!" a Kashin Captain commanded, but as soon as they did that, a calvery charge by Justin was underway, but, there was a Kashin named General Kora sitting there awaiting to take the captain out, his spear raised, it went straight to Justin, and through his chest. Falling off his horse he hit the ground behind him.149

The Charge was broken, Captains fell back and fought along there way to get there fallen Calveryman, there main force. Pushing and throwing anything at there sides, I looked in horrow at the outcome of the recent disastor.150

He fell, captains came to his sides as they charged, pounding and crying as they ripped through the lines of there fallen commander, revenge was at hand. The Kashin column fell back, but was grabbed by the sides and squeezed together by the Yu army, and then crushed finally. To there amazment, they pushed a column of 40000 away momentarily, as the Yu army retreated from the battle, the battle of Justin was a tie. The 4th battle of 35 to happen in Kashin.151

The battle was named 'The Battle of Justin' and many were set on praying upon his grave as Palist made camp, unlikly of him for doing so, but there was a mist of that they were not going to attack again. Scouts came moved from the west of the camp and headed for Urikaine as the Army was headed for him, applying air of 1000 with the scouts.152

After the battle, for the first time, Palist made a camp, knowing that they would not attack us after such a lose of men on both sides. Only 7000 soldiers left, he made his speech, "We will hold these grounds till we die, we must hold it out, I shall send 1000 of my best to Urikaine, scouts have told me that they are headed for him, they know he is trying to gain support by the South. Other hten that, we must hold this position, they cannot take it, no matter what it costs." Palist said, his eyes glintering with honor and pride for the cost they lost together on throwing back an army almost five times as larger then theirs was.153

They burned the body of Justin, and celebrating his valiant charge against the General that costed him his life, and under Yu code, he had to be burned. The eyes of one of the most influenced general of all time stood and looked into the fire, her name was Mountain Monk. She stood 6'8, her hieght was barbarian tall, she was from the deepest parts of the Yu Clans. She held ground where no man could, she was in the skirmish that made them almost curtain victory on the battle today. Her eyes burned with intensity to battle again, and she would.154

She rose from the camp, walking over to Palist, and pushed him to the ground forcefully, and gaurds sprung to defend him, which were thrown and tossed to the side as she looked down at the general stumbled to get back up, "You.. Palist. We are standing here, for once in our lives, we will ride now out to the Kashin capital, we will loosen everything that holds that of which it stands. I see a bright future, give me your uniform, if you wish to die in glory, let us do it now." The general stood up, all the hair on his body stood up, he felt it, Foci was commanding him, he stripped and handed her the uniform, the patches were taken off, and General Julia was made.155

From my sight, the captains were not suprised that she came to power, many backed her up at the time before that and made notes to the commanders that she was good at fighting and will be better for the army.156

Chapter Nine - General Mountain Monk157

She rode her horse forward, the column behind her running, as her horse trotted. General Palist was with Captain rank as they rode through villages of Kashin, the desert heat diminished as they rode and got used to it in this moonless night. 158

"Through the desert weeee goooo.." Captain's whispered to eachother and soon the army was singing for all to join them, hospitality came from villages as the column slowed to a walk.159

Some other lines were picked up along the way, a song was sung through the moonless desert night, the ethuisasm was expected from almost winning a battle from a enemy who was ten times there size. Drums were amassed overnight, from a nearby village, and kept the tired soldiers well and rested. 160

They came to one village called Seta, which offered the army to stay overnight with food and a good stockade of surounding fortress for them to defend. 161

In the morning, men slowly crept up, as General Tison was anounced under General Julia ( Mountain Monk ), he spoke outloud to the forces, "We are going to go straight to Kashin, crossing a vast desert, it has been several months, let us use every ounce of strength, and crush them!" He raised his hand and sent it skyward.162

Through leaving the Seta Village, they took as many rations they could, not stuffing themselves though, they had to carry light inside there stomachs, and on themselves. The Kashin Village was given notes that they would repay them after the war if they lived.163

Now, the whole army was on horses, the Seta people gave them everything to be free from the Capital, and to be free, just free again from the new president and general, O' Cratical. The wielder of two green tinted scimitars, he was a gigantic fellow who knew how to battle himself, not like the other generals who stood behind there armies. He was elected by Unlimited, not many general's have made him smile out of there bravery and strength that they wielded themselves.164

In the capital, there was panick, the 40000 Kashin soldiers were no where near as the Yu Soldiers were, only two days away, many of them panicked at an attack on the no walled city, which was only defended by a constant standing of army at every corner, which had worked several times, but the main force was out, and only a small militia of 400 lay inside of it. 165

General Julia sent her army at a full pace, leaving no one behind though, the pace was quick. "I think we will make it by early tommorrow at this pace, or was she just raising out spirits, that flag is pretty high for even a general to hold." he said as he pointed out that Julia was holding the Yu Union Flag, purple and stardazed, it moralized the troops.166

General Tison smiled to the fact that everyone was keeping up. He started to orginize the battle in his head, he knew, but no one else knew, that the Kashin Force of 40000 was going to make it to the gates before them, no matter how fast they ride. 167

Men sharpened there swords that night, shields were rienforced, hospitality from other villages was very quiet indeed. But they grew, the whole army had horses, and now even better armor. Kashin blacksmiths swarmed to greet them, getting as much money as they could, they rienforced the armor, and the weapons. Even some of the horses were fitted by the grandest of the blacksmiths of Kashin Capital.168

They were spineless, not careing for there Capital's destruction but the greed that was unfolding in there eyes as countless men gave them money and armor to fix and repair.169

"I have something to propose, the Kashin force is going to meet us infront of the Kashin Capital, and I know. I have seen the scouts in the horizen," Tison lowered his hands as put pulled his glasses, a soldier said outloud, "We will be prepared, my armor has been shined, my armor has been rienforced, my horse is well fed, we can take em'!" He raised his hand in anger and his proud heritage.170

Palist came forward, smiling to the men that he was going to die for soon, "I have something to say too, I am going to commit suicide on the battle that lay ahead, in a brave and honorable battle ahead of us. He who serves me will be the greatest of Yu, follow me to your seats," he took 400 men out of the camp and to a nearby spring to bathe and focus on there fate on the battlefield.171

The moon was raised bright above them, they knew, everyone knew what lay ahead of them. The General's spoke of there plan in great detail, no one left the camp or tried. The flag was lifted high, into the sky as the morning rose, and they charged on.172

Horse by horse, the Yu forces slept in there armor, and there sword next to them, they thought about the battle ahead, taking down as many as they could before they died. 173

O' Cratical gave to his officers a speech, "You will all die for your nation, do not mess up, if you do, I will kill you myself," he snarled at his forces, spitting at there feet as he looked to the Yu forces ahead. He outnumbered them 15000 to 40000, almost by three times as much. 174

General O' Cratical lay at the back of the army, slowly moving into the front when his captains gave the order to split the army in half. 175

General Julia and General Tison road beside eachother in the middle of the Yu Union Army, which it was now affirmed to be called. Spearmen in the front, and then calvery in the back, the spearmen went forward, under the commanderate of Palist.176

The Yu Raining Blood Force under General Palist moved forward, crossbowmen first, then spearmen they charged, as the light armor Kashin Calvery charged forward straight forward them, armed with light scimitars, they were fast. The crossbowmen fired, under trained Yu Horses, they road backwards on there horses, and reloaded, as the spearmen charged with fierce momentum, as arrowmen aimed up, and rained a barrage of arrows onto the Kashin.177

"What is this... they are using tactics unheard of ever in battle before.. there crossbowmen, then there arrowmen, then there spearmen?! What is this?!" O' Cratical screamed to his forces as they were pumbled back, storming with his bodyguards he made forward to the frontlines.178

Arrowmen and crossbowmen switched positions with another row of spearmen that charged the Kashin Frontlines again, as they reloaded, they focused now on officeres and croweded men, making every shot count. The Kashin Army was being pushed back and made no chance or effort to move forward, and then a brilliant plan was divised, as the Raining Blood pulled back.179

The Yu army pulled back to regroup, they barley had lost 20 men in each wave they sent of Calvery of Spearmen and Crossbowmen, switching out kept refreshing them. The Kashin Blacksmiths had done there job, they were winning this battle slowly during those morning hours.180

"I have a plan, it will involve us this time, I thought they were going to pumble us, but that show gave me an idea, we will split the army in half with my calvery. I am going to use my veterans of the clanwars in Yu. And we are going to rip the sides off, and throw them into a good circle of crossbowmen and arrowmen that will then launch calvery forces from there back if charged.181

The battle resumed, "Charge!" the Yu forces gave there fastes charge the world over could feel. Tison raised his arm next to Palist, next to Mountain Monk, they all were charging, frontlines and all, right into the side of the Kashin force, throwing them forward into a hail of arrows and bolts, and then another calvery force, entering into the front of the Kashin Army, and out the side of it with the rest of the Yu Calvery, the Kashin army lost half there army. 182

The Kashin General shook his head, admiting defeat was on the horizen, he pulled back his forces from Kashin City. 5-35 the battle for Kashin City had been won.183

Chapter Eleven - Urikaine is on the move184

His 15,000 armed and well divided army, split into two parts, calvery in the back for quick attack from any side, and even from the back.185

As people rested, as so horses, they saw a day after tommorrow, as a soldier once said, "Hey, this is the life, we havn't seen battle in 3 days, it's good to go, but there is this earie feeling," he said, as they walked into a village.186

Urikaine Kuda sat beside Crystal and Kento, the soft-spoken man smiled to the child and hinted him over to him, "I saw you fight the other day, it was viliant, I hope you become a General one day," he said smiling, Crystal interviened, "He will be leaving the service soon, but.. if Urikaine Kuda, son of Ryoko Kuda has that twinkle in his eyes as he says that, I do not think I will be able to stop him when he gets older," she said reluctantly and then sped away with the boy as Urikaine Kuda waved his and motioned to slowly move from the village.187

They made a camp outside of the village, taking supplies without much resistance from the village itself, they rested themselves. General Firebid was elected from the soldiers, his eyes were red as he looked out to the desert, "One day, I will die, every ounce of my blood will fall to the ground before I die, not before I marry you first, Tika, my wife" Firebid said, holding out a ring to Tika, a soldier from the calvery regiment.188

She smiled, taking it, through the camp they had been flirting, even on the boat to Kashin, they fell in love with eachother on the battlefields they were on. "I would love to, and will," she said, kissing him on the forehead and they made to a tent. 189

There was no religion, just who believes in the Foci, and who doesn't. Even though imprinted in there heads is the creator Foci, most have never seen him. "So, there was this place called Russia? And a even bigger planet then this one? We are the only survivors of The Creation of This Universe?" Ryoko said to the Foci, who replied, "It is all very complicated, I died of a heart attack many millions of years ago, woke up in a complete blankess of space. I was a philosopher where I come from, most of this in my head is hidden so I do not unlock it, my emotions are calmed and I have made myself more patient. Over time, I created this from the power granted in my head," he said, bowing to Ryoko as he stepped forward.190

"You can simply destroy us? And remake the universe?" Ryoko tilted his head to the side, "Yes.. yes I could.. but this has intertained me through all these years, let me tell you by my studies have been. Time is nothing really, we all are frames, almost like a video," Foci implanted the knowledge of video in Ryoko's mind, "And from that, we are balanced, all of the universe is to balance a none-universe, a sword with a none-sword. All balancing out eachother, I must have been created to make up for the None-foci, and this universe for the none-universe," he said, it all made sense to Ryoko, who would later make the Yu Empire the superpower of the world with his knowledge.191

On that morning a scout came with the urgents of Urikaine, "Ticontism and Layjin' soldiers are on the fronts, they are coming to you Urikaine, and they will need your army soon defending them. I have sighted a garrison of about 50000 Kashin soldiers headed for there stationary point right now," the man said, as his horse bent down to drink some water.192

Urikaine thought for a second, and then spoke, "We will divide the army, 6500 to Firebid and he will defend these grounds, splitting the army would be a good advantage, I will call on him when I need him. How many soldiers do they have?" Urikaine asked the soldier.193

"We have about.. 20000, it's all we could salvage from the last invasion, but they are willing, we got about 3000 veterans in there, 500 captains, and 5 generals, I do not believe they could take us easily with them working together," the soldier replied to Urikaine.194

The soldier was named Sgt. George, he was Yu born, but after a ship sunk off the coast of Ticontism, he was brought in by several families. He would be a good ally to many people after the war, telling stories, through Gnoll he went.195

They moved out on signal, it was a bustling commanderate army, they were winning most of the war now. Far in the distance, scouts came back, telling of a Garrison of 3000 forces lay infront of them, Firebid took command of all the calvery, and moved forward. Footsoldiers and pikemen followed, as we rushed for battle.196

Firebid raised his spear forward, as so many of the spearmen in the front lines, his muscle tensing as he ran into the Kashin lines. The Kashin soldiers were pumbled back, knocked down quickly as Firebid got uneasy being surounded but still moving through the column by himself.197

He through his spear, taking out a captain as he unsheathed his machete and started hacking away till it broke, throwing himself off his horse, he was a swashbuckler at heart, using everything around him to gain ground, he was in the middle of the column of Kashin soldiers and was making them scramble on his own.198

Then led by another charge, Urikaine bashed through the lines to get to Firebid, who's armor covered his whole body, taking blows here and there as he punched, kicked, headbutted Kashin soldiers. The lines ripped and the Kashin soldiers retreated into a well lined archer and crossbowmen units, fire upon fire, waved died till there was nothing left of the 3000 Kashin garrison.199

"We barely lost a single man that time Urikaine, it's almost funny how most Kashin don't know how to fight like us peoples of Yu, how did Layjin' and Ticontism lose to such cowards? Bah, I will never understand," Firebid said, as Urikaine analyzed, "Well, there is one thing, Kashin soldiers are always in one column, they have one type of fighting style, and barely use calvery. Layjin' and Ticontisms terrian has no flat lands, it's mostly forest, hills, and mountains," Urikaine pointed out bravly to Firebid, who understood now. 7-35200

Five hundred forces lined up that night and were gaven there ranks, through the night officers and captains gave out new medals and ranks. No one lost there rank, and that night Urikaine Kuda got his Colonal Rank. 201

Scouts came from Palist's army, coming through the night and then leaving as the day came back. Gave much information, the whole army slept through most of the day to wake up in the middle of the day rested and well to go more west. 202

Chapter Twelve - The Months Following203

The Kashin Army left with the Population of the Kashin Capital one day, defending there retreat and they went into a forest known as the Kashin Black, think with all sorts of enchantments, they moved there population into there slowly. It was on the North West portion of the Continent, a desert and then directly following it with thick Forest, it was a sight to see. The Kashin Army stayed well inside and fortified much of the forest, where no man would enter without a large force to take it. Much movement could be seen within the forest, but nothing came out. Firebid, the Supreme General of the army made sure not to thin his lines around the Forest, but put bulges in large numbers on each sides incase of an attack.204

Resistance went through some of the Yu Ranks as they were settleing on Kashin Soil, more and more Forces and even Civilians ready for combat joined the war Effort to excape the know relentless Counsel of Yu, which was taking some of the freedoms from Yu by trying to make them a state, with money and growth like the Kashin Government, giving them more strengths and powers which were not needed for the Counsel. As a man once said, "They have taken my land, putting a fortress and livestock on it, and told me if I didn't raise any money, which I don't know what that is, I couldn't get it back." a simple man, he had glowing blue eyes, his name was Bezero.205

The resistance of the Yu Army to stay was a little undunting, they were winning more battles then they were losing and they were hot on the tails of the Kashin Army, that now was in hiding, "Well, hell no I am not going into those woods, they would rip us apart if they got the good grounds already. Inside it looks well preserved and much good plentifull, let us wait till they get fat and unable to move," General Julia said, as she turned her back to go into her tent with Palist, Tison, Firebid, and Urikaine Kuda.206

"This isn't good, they are fortifieing positions inside, and they are looking grave, but we could sweep through undetected if we throw them off right now, but winter is upon us, and the world will be sheated soon, let us make our winter here, we must," Firebid said, his skinny form was growing large muscles from his constant training of the Yu army was in his hands.207

Julia spoke up, "We also must train these men, we don't want them getting fat and lazy, I will put that into the hands of you Firebid, again, you are already doing so well with your regiment," she smiled, bowing herself to Firebid, her rank was now showing a little more in her constant new ability to speak more fluent, she had grown stronger with it, Firebid replied, " Yes, thank you, it would be most appreciated, Urikaine Kuda is getting good in our calvery, he has lived several times with.. how many kills do you got?" Firebid asked Urikaine.208

"I have 37 sir, most are from helping other people though, I have never been wounded.. yet. Even though I was knocked off my horse in the first battle and woke up around about.. a thousand Kashin soldiers," Urikaine said with a little terror in his voice, Firebid then said, "What? You never told us about this!"209

"Didn't want to think I was a spy, I tackled a Kashin Calveryman to the ground and took off, I am a perfect horseman, I got away without much suspicion," He said with dignity of his herioc excape.210

"Well, beautiful Urikaine, I am glad you are alive," Firebid said, his eyes to the distance, as a echo came deep from the Kashin Forest and a tall figure stepped out and fell about a mile away from the now forming calvery of the Yu army.211

Urikaine Kuda rode his horse forward, sword drawn, as in minutes the Yu army was in designed formations and ready for battle, but there was no army infront of them. Urikaine Kuda rode forward infront of the army with a scouting party to the fallen man who was larger then anyone they had seen before, and was trying to get back up but fell.212

"It could be a trick," a scout warned Urikaine as they were about 200 yards infront of the huge form of a man. Urikaine dismounted and moved forward, his shortswords ready, as men followed.213

"I am Titan, the lost Kuda..." the very large man stood up, and a arrow was fired into his chest, which bounced and hit the ground beside him. "My arm has the crest..." the man said as he turned his wrist and there was a purple circle with a mountain edged into the middle of it.214

Urikaine Kuda in respect bowed to Titan, his head tilted forehead and a smile across his face, as Titan was brought a wagon and hauled several ways away from the front of the Kashin Black. 8-35215

Chapter Twelve - Titan and secret weapons216

Firebid issued the training of a massive scale of around 15,000 to train in the best of tactics of all the general's and captains of the Yu army, which when the Yu army came out of the forest would destroy the remaining of the army and send everything in a huge desistating lost, inwhich the Kashin Population would never be able to regain power.217

But till then, the Yu army was at a huge scale of 50,000 forces, as the Yu army was well over 150,000 in all. The Kashin Population squared itself in a 150 mile fortress called the Kashin Black, which was slowly starving itself and may attack quickly in a huge frenzy that could whip the Kashin army good. Firebid was planning a massive invasion of the woods and attack with barely any loses of men.218

"We are planning something well.. I would never want to come inbetween your brave plan to destroy all the Kashin Army, Firebid." Titan regained his strength the coming month, and was training with the calvery, which Firebid was training to take a massive army even 50x's it's size, which was made up of 1500 men.219

Firebid, in his bold and tactical mind set, which came through in the half year they were outside of the Kashin Black, he was growing old, and his time was coming as he stayed in the heat of the Kashin Desert that ate his soul out. As most of the Yu General's, they were wrestling and fighting with eachother, not over power, but out of the need and want of combat. 9-35220

Chapter 13 - The Great Retreat221

Sound echo'd through the Kashin Black, Admiral himself turned pale as the Yu forces got into action, throwing there spears and shields forward and ready for combat.222

In my eyes, I saw the Kashin forces move from the woods, they were viscous, turning and destroying the Yu Army as they ripped through the lines with such a frenzy. Titan the Secret Weapon fought and killed hundreds as they couldn't fight back, his arms swaying back and fourth and ripped everything around him.223

Looking to my left side, the Kashin Front pushed back the Yu army, Palist and others saw that the Kashin Army was different, they had evolved to such slayers that they now were more powerful, the two years they had been here, they had been evolving throughout the time in the Kashin Black.224

The General's of the Yu army turned back, and retreated, they could not stand and fight against a army that was well beyond there human power, they were indeed much stronger and powerfuler now. I myself learned from this mistake to allow them to sit back, they were now immune to our tactics, they fought 4 on 1, they knew everything and had trained against our tactics.225

Ticontism soldiers uped there guns and fired at the Kashin, who were put to there death on the spot, reloading slowly, they turned on there horses and fired, taking down hundreds that followed them. General Urikaine Kuda was made into focus in this battle, and the whole Yu Army was lost as they retreated into the Capital, where Sphinx lay a trap, they Kashin City was not locked off and thousands lay to defend. 226

The Great Retreat was made, only 10,000 Yu Soldiers got away from the devasting massacre, and the armies were hot on there tail. I myself took half my armor and no weapons, running and taking any horse that wasn't taken by a person or dead body. 227

By the end of the day all the General's lay on ships, losing more then half the army and only having 8,000 soldiers left of the army, retreating back off the Coast of Gnoll, where friendly forces lay of the Ticontism.228

Firebid, Julia, Urikaine, Palist, Tison, Crystal, and Kento were the only General's that remained, and in the far distance, Ryoko was headed torward Yu, on a ship made of Fire, called the Revolution. 229

Chapter 14 - The Aftermath230

As I walked through the ships that landed ashore, we all looked back to see no fleets on our tail anymore. A sign of peace that we hoped to last enough for us to regain our strength.231

The news spread of the horrible defeat of the most powerful army in the world, 'How could this happen?' was said as the soldiers returned to the council. 232

The council was outraged, Ki's rage ended up in three officers hanged for their inability to see the threat of the Kashin earlier. This was directly against the ways Yu handled the unexperienced. This man was not the Ki we knew to love in the past, he was a changed man.233

I sat in my chair, then stood up to the council, 'The times in the Kashin deserts did not toll our soldier's bodies, but it did so to their minds. Any 'unloyality' is not the act of their own accord, but of the desert madness. If you do not believe this Ki, you can shove it up your ass,' and I walked out of the council, that was my plee for my life.234

The next day I stood up again, they demanded an apology or I would be hanged, but I spit in their faces, in front of Ryoko and Palist. 'You are not Yu, you do not even know what Yu is anymore Ki, you are paid by Kashin merchants to put the people of Yu down. You never seen a battle in your life, you sit in your chair and listen to 'advisors' who only want what they want, not the people!'.235

Ki retaliated, 'I h-have been a council member for 20 years, you cannot dare say this to me, you are only a soldier, act like one and take orders!' once again I storm out of the council, this time my life was in danger.236

As I walked with Ryoko and Palist, they smiled as if nothing was wrong, how could they think nothing was wrong? Ryoko turned to me and spoke, 'Your life is not in danger, Ki's life is in danger,' giving a small smirk to me.'237

We came to a small lake and Urikaine sat in the middle of a circle of men. He was dressed in his best of armor, polished and swords at his sides. He looked up at me, the passion of fighting in ihs eyes this time. I smiled, bowing graciously to him. 238

'We are going to take out the council today, we are going to destroy them. They do not even stand for Yu, they stand for themselves, why we have not seen this is beyond me, but this ends today,' Urikaine spoke outloud to his unit. 239

This was not Urikaine Kuda, this was Morganblood, the man I saw after the death of Firebid. This soldier is strong and determined. His eyes were so fierce, it gave me shivers down my spine. 240

Urikaine stepped forward, no one else walked with him. This man was not the quiet little boy Ryoko raised, everyone knew it. He was not leading the assault, he was the assault on the Council.241

Chapter 15 - Crushing the Council 242

I followed behind Urikaine, his foot touching against the doors of the council, a large breeze ripped through the corridors, everything was going slow as Ki sat in his chair, looking up at the son of Ryoko. Urikaine's eyes glowed with victory as he rushed Ki.243

Ki rose his arm, the blade pushing through his forearm and straight into his neck, and out the other side. Silence fell upon the others as the blade turned and struck the council member seated behind him in the head. 244

I grabbed the hinges of the door, closing them shut. Placing a small dagger in both sides of the cracks, allowing that no one escaped this massacre. 245

Small cries echo'd from behind the doors, as screams slowly followed from the pathetic council members. Urikaine walked to the door, I opened it graciously to the man who will save this country time and time again.246

'The enemy has been silenced, forever.' Urikaine walked through the doors, his armor was bloody, his sword's edge and handle covered in the crimson liquid. 247

The moon rose to the distance as the man that would change this world walked through to the men who he fought alongside in the war to end all wars with. Both of his hands down at his sides, he rolled his right shoulder, 'The deed is done, no one could revive the state this country is in unless we work together.'248

Chapter 16 - Loyalists and The Rebels249

As if the country could get in any worse situation, Loyalists of the council, who were also paid well with gifts for their mind and body turned against the bloodshed that helped create the country of Yu.250

We were now 'rebels' to these people who never even knew what pain was, who never saw a battle, these were not men of Yu, they will be crushed so a new age will appear, one that will put Yu as the most powerful nation in the world!251

Ryoko planted both of his feet against the ship's boards. His hands slowly went across the walls of this vessal, as he looked back to Urikaine, 'I am going to leave, I do not belong here anymore. I want you to lead this country against the rebels and defeat them.'252

Urikaine bowed toward his father, both hands on his sides, 'I will father, I will fight against them all, who shall aid me in command?', Ryoko responded, 'General Julia will aid you in command of the army, she is one of the most interesting women, get to know her well.'253

Ryoko drifted off to the distance, his ship and whatever remained of him is unknown, but they say he lived with the creator of the universe, or went to Ticontism's large mountains and fought any man who could dared to challenge him for his knowledge of military tactics, but who knows.254

Urikaine first agenda was poised and done. Crushing the council and burning it the building in which they resided to the ground. 255

General Julia moved through the ranks that were sit across a ridge, her armor glistening to the sun's gentle tune across her flowing purple hair. 'Morganblood, there is little time, the rebels are coming to fight against us soon, what shall we do?' she looked up to him.256

Urikaine changed his name to Morganblood that day, his eyes looked directly at his enemy with a vicious glare. His horse snarled underneath him, his hand lifting, 'Men of Yu, the true loyalists, charge with me, there is no way around this, we shall charge, no tactics, no officers, just men who will fight against an enemy to an enemy, for the right cause. They are fighting for a government, not a way of life. We are fighting for our way of life, how we have lived for almost 3000 years! Money, cloths, are meaningless, life is lived by moments, by the way we interact with eachother, not with material objects!' his hand lifted upwards to the sky, his horse charging forward.257

The lines were met, the clashing of swords and armor ripped through the air for many hours. Morganblood's left shoulder pushed against an officer's chest plate, pushing him to the ground. His right arm came crashing down, the edge of his blade ripping through the head of his opponent, blood splattering everywhere. As the tip of a spear poked the back of his armor, Morganblood spun around, turning the side of his blade to the handle of the spear, his blade turning into the throat of the man, his gasp for breath was the last heard of this man.258

Morganblood rushed forward with Julia on horseback to a small unit on a hill, his left arm holding ihs shield and in his right; the pen that will shape the country's future. This weapon smashed into the enemy lines, destroying their morale and their physical bodies, 'To the grave with you!'.259

The loyalist fell ten by ten, their world ending before they even knew it. Experiences soldiers of the Yu island against the lords of clothing and money, 'What a joke,' some men said during the battle.260

'Why are we even fighting this battle?' an officer said, his blade piercing the side of the enemies head. 261

'This battle signals the end of a era of corruption, and starts an era of beauty and freedom. This is a massacre of the evils of the land that shall be banished to the center of this planet, Foci has demanded this to happen,' I said to the others who surrounded me.262

I looked up at the sky once again this week, my eyes slowly gazing at the crystal atmosphere. 'We cannot escape this planet, and this planet cannot escape us, I wonder what will happen when we grow bored of this place,' my arthritis was cutting into my bones, it seems as if I cannot write as much anymore.263

That night we sat around a campfire, the revolution had already been over for a couple hours. The Loyalists houses were burned, their items given to the men and women who needed it most. 264

Morganblood stood up as if to give a speech, 'This day we eliminate all currency and outside trade to the other nations. We do not need this money that corrupts men, these items that strip us from who we are, what makes us gathers of useless materials,' he said to the crowd of men.265

'But what will we do?' a officer asked in the background, I noticed that soldiers do not usually speak out in the Yu ranks.266

Morganblood turned to the man, 'We will improve what we have on our own, all men are equal, even though they are very different. We must build a new nation now, improving the health of our people and how they live, for too long we have sat in huts. Now it is time to expand our influence on the inside, our ways will be kept, our lives will not change, but the way life lives around us will change, the rivers, the mountains will be cared for, the floods will be stopped, the disease will be destroyed, this is a new era of health for the land!'267

Chapter 17 - The Reunion268

A man steps forward into a cornfield, then onto a hill, were a small tree is. The man, middle aged, dressed nicely, strong, long-white hair flowing down his back to his knees, a small emblem on his chest, and then scars on his skin from times in his youthful years. 269

He went from looking at the ground from looking forward. Horror came over his face, a full line of enemies, a stretch outline of dog-men, fully armed with bows, arrows, swords. Strong men, mostly white, and a bit black, mostly in there twenty though thirty of age. Some dog-men came fourth from the army and went to the man.270

"We are here for Morganblood!" They called out from the line, the Gnoll army was at the footstep of the Yu door, but not for long, Morganblood thought to himself as he looked around, he would hear the faint whispers around him.271

From a few months ago, the Gnoll have declared war, but have not dared to attack. Simply staying put untill invasion, putting up defenses, but no Yu Brigade was put into action. Since the coming months they took down there defenses, and put up a Navy, then attacked the home of Yu, but since the Legendary are still around, there attack was futile, and this is what happens in the following times.272

"General Morganblood, you will haveet-" his voice died from the dog-man, he then was hurled into the air from a sonic boom. Morganblood looked from side to side and then saw more and more fly up into the air and down onto there own men.273

The men cried out, the General Morganblood went dumbfounded at the site. Dog-men came down from the hills shooting arrows, which missed from times, as Morganblood moved to sides to get away from them. They let out battle-cries. To amazement, they flew into the air, and came to the ground instantly, some let out cries of shear horror, as others, submitted to defeat. Morganblood's keen eye's saw what’s going on, and let out a breath of air which came out to, "Peacemaker..," he looked about the area as he could see the ghost of a man who would whip the air around him and manipulate the enemies skin and rip them apart, but he was playing with these fools from other lands.274

After the army was slayed-down by the large sonic-booms. A man stepped out of the wind, the ground behind him shot up with dirt, and layed back. The man, looked around sixty years old, military looking,as his form was touched with many known scars and bruises, but only the scars crossed his face were visible, long and wide.275

His statues acclaimed him as he lit the area of a eerie strength and power, his wooden katana alone was enough, for it had many scars and cuts along it,"Long time no see Morganblood." The man, recognized as Peacemaker said.276

"Ah yus', Peacemaker, long-time-no-see. Power lives for a long time, or it's useless." Morganblood said, his accent was upon the long and cold ground, his eyes presumed along Peacemakers horrifically built body.277

The two men talked for a little while, about precarious battles that took place a long time, and some stories after it all; The First Yu War, ending in the Kashin's fall to power, and Yu ascendants to greatness beyond the worlds leading powers.278

It was 5 continents under war, declaring and alliancing with each other-other till either one dies to one lives. Neutrality equals, death or take-over. Yu islands, continent of Kashin, Calo, Medo, Foci and Gnolls ( This story is from a Yu point of view ). For those who have not read the first book.279

"General Morganblood, you have been resigned to your post. Accept and win, you will be the richest person on this planet, and rule..four nations.. Gnoll shall be your first, those Dog men shall fall with your legendary tactics!" Peacemaker said with a smirk, his eyes lighting with the fire of the Yu Empire, he knew that Morganblood in the long run could do it, all he needed was an army.280

"I will have to, this war would force me to my study plans. Drivin' my nuts to try them out." Morganblood said as the Peacemaker disappeared into the distance of the fields in a motion blur of his powerful speed. Morganblood retired to his house. He walked into a large room, a floor, a roof, covered in nothing but papers, a few furniture of wool and straw. Pencils everywhere to be seen, and a large rewrite-able drawing board, full of battle plans of the Kashin war with Yu ten years ago. 281

This time will be different though, the thought out loud in his mind. He will have to devise plans to attack well and strong against them, learning there tactics, what armor, how they eat, what they eat. 282

Searching through many books, he came across an old one from Patali's time, from the first war with the Gnoll. They are dog-men, created by Foci to establish some order between the Humans and Animals, but as humans, they have become greedy and self-centered. But, they will grow into the fine beings after this invasion is clear, he thought to himself again. 283

The next day people on horse back pulled to General Morganblood and picked him up. They took him a few hours to a battleground/battle master barracks, which at this time was filled with men. Most of them were low ranks from no invasion for a long time they have had no time to gain a rank but soon they will. But soon, they will be ready for battle against these invaders from another land. The base, 4 stories high, crick and wet mud. A river on the side of it, boats filled this river, crossing it was a bridge. There was a small port and small little huts for trading the fish which were caught there. Has never seen combat though, it was old from the new storms that come from the West and sweeps over the continent every month, and new techniques have been added around the Yu Isles to keep them from falling apart on themselves. 284

"Welcome General Morganblood!" A a voice from nowhere, but seemed from under him, General Morganblood looked from side to side, shifting his gaze downwards to the man who lay in front of him, "Why hello Kentai."285

A small little kid dressed in heavy army stood there, as Morganblood tilted his head to him. Morganblood hugged the kid, with a glee-ish smile on his face. The boy did not hear the small mistake he made in his name.286

This child/kid was Kento, a kid who snuck into the army and survived the Viscous 37 Champions of Yu War 1. Around only 11 years old, a Brigadier General. He is a sneaky little punk and viscous in battle. "Hello there ole' ye' Kento!" Said General Morganblood, letting go of the hug. "Good, good, you made it L-Morganblood.." A man, around 30, thick glasses, a science-persons robe, and immense powerful form and aura around him, as he stepped forward out of a barrack door. This is Tison, another General who tried to kamikaze himself into the ranks of the Yu War 1, and picked up by Morganblood in one battle. He was starve-craving mad, and recovered. He went into the army and saw life wasn't so bad there, lived only 20 Champains of the War. 287

"Attention! A woman yelled to the tree men talking about the war 3 minutes later. She stood straight, and saluted. General Queen of Diamond Roses. On the battle of the Roses, she defeated many of the Kashin allies there, standing in the front-line with many soldiers who outclassed her and outranked her. She flew her swords into the enemies one by three, and destroyed the front line around her that tried to sweep through. 288

"Damn, just kiddin' guys, so uptight.." The three Generals were standing saluting to the general at the sign of 'Attention' and then relaxed. 289

She was a 20 year old, creepily skilled in fighting since she was young and entered the ranks of men. Kind to all who is kind to her, survived and is the big sister of General Kento during the 37 Champaign's of the war ( By the way, her name is Crystal ). Well, this war is goin' to last about 40 years guys.." Crystal said. "Power isn't power endless it last long, so lets kick some ass?" Kento had said in a questioning way. "Power isn't power unless it lasts long, so lets use it now and kick some ass.." Tison corrected Kento, and Morganblood nodded to his quote. Morganblood's forces marched to the barracks equipment area, where there was swords, armor and tailor suits. "We better get some armor Urikaine!" Kento then realized somethin' wrong and shut his mouth with his hands. 290

Yugonish Uslavion Urikaine Dote' Kuda was Morganblood's old name in Yu 30 years ago. All the war and change of Yu had a devasting effect on the Kuda Family, and he changed his name and left it. A blacksmith just came to Morganblood's armor along with his sword and Morganblood paid him the pounds of money for it. Morganblood spent the hours of his night after the incident with Peacemaker to find what armor they needed. For woods which Gnoll was filled with, they need something quick, and leather was it. As Morganblood put on the armor, Crystal said, "Wow, so many memories.." As she took hers, getting into it. "Yus', even if it's not armor, but leather' it's still just dressin' into armor in these climates and with all of us here again, the old feelin' I guess." Morganblood had said. The ship Armstaggin' came through the harbor and through the river. A massive ship, anything like our worlds, a large wooden ship made of wood, metal, and paper. Fastest thing on the planet next to Firebid's charge 10 years ago, has stayed alive for 250 years.291

Chapter 18 - On our ways to Gnolls292

"Gnolls are dogs who can walk, barbarians thingas', a large army and land. Keep your head low and shield forward, don't get biten!" Tison says to the crowd, known as the Yu army.293

"They have shamans, so Medeas fire then. Out before they burn you, main weapon is a katar or stave, jump very high, and have a very bad odor." Tison gives a last speech then gives a sign to General Morganblood to get up. They were giving speeches for the upcoming invasion, they were going to launch a three wave attack, first forces from Yu, heavy to push into the center of Gnoll, then a second wave, lighter with many more horses, and then the Of Medea which will be when the capital is sacked.294

Morganblood moves forward then in front of the soldiers, and says, "The plan is that we will rush and band close in combat together with out honor and katana's might and gliding blade to protect us!" as the crowd smiled and laughed a bit, knowing this as..'the usual'. The power of these men outmatched most of the world's army, they swept into Kashin with the leather on there backs, and a sword and shield and defeated the super-power on over-welming odds against them, and slowly pushed and destroyed there capital, which is most of the time there aim.295

A few hours passed by, lots of drinking of the army and eating. Some worked out before a big invasion ahead of them. Most of them were elites of the Yu Brigade a few years back when Morganblood took the capital and destroyed there own corrupt counsel. After the war there was a large corrupt counsel bent on greed and power, which was taken over and gave to more responsible people.296

In the morning there was few people awake, and people who were, stood a bit out of place and fell asleep easily. A few crew of men picked up the scraps, which was hired by Crystal when she was..sober. Men were almost literally crated to the boat when it was supplied with all that it was needed to.297

A letter came in from Xavier a Lt. from War One who helped map out the Kashin posts a long time ago had a map inside of it. Those maps were very expensive, and came from Ticontism Capital. Xavier was not a fighter, but he was quick with running and his band who he helped train in the mountains and forests of the Yu Outkasted Lands, which people lived free and lawless, in which only the people who wanted to be free went to. Which was given to General Morganblood when he woke up with the letter that said, "Well here it is, we have done enough reconisents of the area of Gnoll, this island is huge, hope to see you soon Morganblood..goodluck in reachin' me!" and it stopped. 298

Tison and Crystal were at the top of the boat. Looking at each other and having a good ole' time, they sat close and hugged, then Tison spoke, "We need to get out vows replenished after the war, it's been a long time since we did somethin' like that Crystal.."299

She looked at him for a couple seconds and smiled rightfully, and nodded to it, "Soon-after the war we shall do it honey.." and she kissed him lovingly.300

"As long as we make it.." They said after the kiss.301

General Morganblood then walked into the scene, "The war better be w-what we hoped, at least as good as the first.."302

The morning fell into dawn, the light admitted from the crystal layer atmosphere. People started to wake and complain of headaches immerged from the vacancies of hallways and bedrooms. The cook told em' to eat some of his food and you wouldn't care if you had a head or not. The Armstaggin' started to roll off the coast with the Yu Forces inside of it. Many of the soldiers were under Navy ranks but transferred to Army ranks after the war, or put them together. A lot of ship battles had been in Yu War 1. Many of them though, were battles which Yu lost, but kept there center with, Kashin never invaded Yu for 500 years since the first attack, but they were savagly defeated by the Clansmen around the top of Yu, which were mostly of the Kuda clan and North.303

Kento came to the front of the ship when the light from the Crystal layer was at it's largest the hint of the afternoon sunny hours. To see the large waves and perking lovely sea creatures below it all. Men crawled out of the holes of their rooms to the ships deck and food-areas like zombies from the intense party the day before. Crystal and Tison spent there hours together alone and with Morganblood sometimes with Kento as they roamed the old boat.304

When the sun started to fall under the sun the people went to the middle of the boat, at least some high ranks that knew each other. Telling stories about mostly Morganblood and how Morganblood corrected the 37 men he took out in the frontline to 305

"Yeah, I remember that! Morganblood rushed into the front lines by accident, we had a horrible rank instructor, he said 'CHARGE'! And then said 'PULL BACK'! And we got confused, like Morganblood he just charged with a couple of already' slowing down horses to enemy lines. Morganblood tried to get free but was pulled in with the lines. He took down 37-" Cut off "34.." Morganblood corrected, "34! Oh yeah! He took out 34 men and I think 3 of his own to get out of there lines, we almost lost one of the soldiers around." Kento finished.306

"Palist was a good General, not like us, he is a forgottin' general in time. Before all of us there was a 4 Star Grand Admiral/General named Palist, he fought many skirmishes with Kashin, and brought down many ships over fish, he governed the first attacks on Ports of Kashin, which grew anger to us for a long time. They didn't invade because of him though, we attacked one of there Elite ships near Calo, which it wasn't supposed to be there, and they blamed the attack on Palist, who was long disappeared before the attack." Morganblood said.307

"I heard of him, and look at the time, we all must get some sleep." Tison said and kissed Crystal on the cheek and pulled her to there room.308

Kento and Morganblood went to there rooms, which was in the lower deck near the nearest to the engine. It was very' noisy down there and creaked a lot but was very went and cold, the engine ran on steam, cold steam.309

A couple of weeks on the ship, about a month of crossing strong currents and getting off-course the ship finally sited land. The crew of the ship got ready to spread and scout, which wasn't going to happen because gnoll were already visible. Camps along the side of the shores were departing tiny ships to the vassal, and people were frightened when they jumped onto the side of the ship and started to climb with there claws. 310

Chapter 19 - Gnoll frontline311

Soldiers deployed as fast as they could, the ship turned 90 degrees and fell onto the beach, onto its side, not latterly, the side came off and soldiers, around 700 poured off into the Gnoll to fight these dogmen, which were called Gnolls.312

"Preposition, men! We fight with glee and honor, remember that! Keep your heads low!" Tison said walking on the side of the armor and literally tackled himself on this morning day.46313

The forces cut through the gnolls, which had barly any armor and poor weapons, a type of sad frontline. Blood poured into the beach and into the water, gnolls came from the forest that was about a mile infront of them, a huge frontline of men. The repeating-cross-bow turrets were deployed and loaded. Fired upon the range of Gnoll meeting into the front line of the Yu Forces. On the right was Crystal, Tison on Kento on the left, they used a surrounding tactic to take them by all sides and crush most of there forces to bits. The front lines came into a triangle formation, using the points to pour over the Gnolls, running out along them as they were circled, the front line, held by heavy armor and then falling back to make the lighter infenty to come forward, the calvery back inside the boats as they moved forward, crushing the frontlines of the Gnoll, as those were the servents that had to leave there masters to defend the shores, the Elite more near there capital. 314

"I could say around 400 of them were massacred, or dearly 1200.. can't you say Morganblood?" Who was ripping his sword out of one already reply'd "850 I counted from the top, I met you guys in the middle, or tried.."315

The Yu Forces set up a camp that was partly made from there own materials and the Gnolls. Morganblood, Kento, Crystal, and Tison went into the ship to write papers and letters to the counsel in Yu, which needs to know of there landing and what is going on with there army and just that.316

Morganblood and then looked at the process of the huts and forts, Morganblood said, “Blah, this will take forever.. Tell em’ there goin’ to have to hurry it up if they want this to stand.”317

A fair warning came to them and the pace quickened, some complained, some didn’t at the whole thing. Morganblood only wants to tough them up again for the big battles ahead. In which brawn won’t just help you.318

Dusk hit the fort, and a lot of the men instantly fell asleep were they were standing. The cold of the night swept through here like wildfire in this type of dense woods only a mile from them. Lamps were picked up and lighted on the wall of the camp’s wall. Morganblood and the gang moved to a fort outside the wall, a small wooded hut covered with scouts to keep it all well and fortified.319

“Thank heavens no cannons, we can sleep well, and sleepily without having to worry about them.” Kento said, remembering some of the cannons the Kashin used against them in the first Yu War, in the middle of the Yu battle of Sarah, a canon ringed out, which was the battle 14 of the 35 champagnes.320

In the middle of the night, there was a stern, and most men got up and got ready for combat, getting a bit of sleep so did Morganblood and the rest of them. A large piece of army about 1500 men swept through the woods and onto the camp, Kento recalled, “I stepped outside of the hut, and there was lots of black thingas’ with large teeth around me, not so pretty. Thank gosh I always slept with a sword to defend myself!” 321

Morganblood flung down the door of the hut and the hut.. fell apart on them. They got up and rushed into the camp, the screeches and dog smell came all over the place. A dog came infront of him, 12’ feet tall. He raised his sword and cut the throat, which.. Didn’t stop the gnoll, a ballista was fired from a ballista, ripped into the skull, which splattered to the ground.322

The Morning soon after, was a blood one, the beach was stained with blood, and so the swords, altogether the 700 Yu Forces lost 50 men. Most were half dressed and didn’t have a weapon when they died. The wishing that they were more prepared should have been imminent.323

There was a mail for all Generals, Fistogan had made it to the side post on Gnoll. She arrived unchallenged. Her army was around 2000 men, expecting a large force to meet her, didn’t happen, sent men to meet up with Morganblood’s army soon enough. If so make it.324

After a few hours of morning another large storm of Gnoll came through, totally knowing this would happen, the Yu forces sprung so quickly it knocked back the Gnoll’s army to early then expected and they were surrounded and smashed 200 of Morganblood‘s divisions cut to the side of the army and Kento cut it in half. To a amazement there was four armies, one Yu one Gnoll, for each. Both one Yu force surrounding the a Gnoll force, only 10 men died in the Yu Forces. 300 Gnoll forces died.325

Some did escape to another base on the beach that is not to far away from where they were. So Morganblood followed them with 200 forces to the other Gnoll base. Kento and the others stayed behind to defend the fort, which wasn’t really worth defending because of the massive damage it already has sustained. 326

Morganblood’s forces came to the Gnoll base at nightfall, perfect for a raid. As they did try, there was no one in the base, and the forces were mighty tired from the run. So they stayed in there for the night. Morganblood came to the rooms and places and slept in a scout’s nest. 327

In the morning there was a massage from the other army, and swiftly and quickly the army awakened in shock, the messenger fell from a arrow wound in the leg, arm, chest, chunk of his neck missing, and don’t know how he survived this long to come and say it.328

Tison, Kento, and Crystal were seriously taking action and combat with little of almost 600 men they had to fight with, Gnolls came even from the back of them, swarms and masses of them just. Came out of nowhere.Many soldiers died on the battlefield that day, the Battle of Bloody Shores. 329

Morganblood’s forces came up from practically asleep to full awoken warriors to the aid, running and marching as fast as they can, charging to there aid, 2 hours later they ran into a cut off line of gnolls, which.. Didn’t stand against the huge masses of rampaging Yu forces, which totally cut through the lines and out the other end. The forces tumbled back and fell to the power of the quick army tactics they used against the Gnoll, making them pull back, as a ringing from a horn was rung from the back of the Gnoll army. Reinforcements had arrived.330

The Yu Forces met up with Fistogan’s reinforcements along with Kento, Tison, and Crystal. Messages of Tison severely injured during the fight was spread and Morganblood and others went to see him. Running through many of the wounded camp to search and find General Tison, who was told to be in somewhat of a bad wound into the gut. Of Medea priests were sent and gathered immediatly for his ressurection if needed. “Morganblood I am alright, I just have a stomach cut that is it. Stand I shall for sometime don’t worry about that. Crystal, clear that shoulder wound for me, that is only thing that will become indemnity of my death if so it would cause infection.” Tison had said and passed out.331

Medical personnel of Medea’s priests came to aid Tison in recovery. His wounds were repaired after battle like many others that lay wounded on the battlefield. 90% of the men who went into the battle and some who didn’t were wounded. And only 170 died out of the 1300 who all came together in the battle. 332

Chapter 20 - Moving out333

There was a lot of scrambling and moving about around the camp for a couple months, around 2. The other slow moving divisions moved to Morganblood’s fast moving army of Yu. Gnoll filled out and said itself full war on Yu, but through most of the war they never got to touch down on it’s soil.334

Yu Forces packed up to move further into the dense woods of Gnoll, the most humid and dense place on the planet. Little villages here and there that did not retaliate to Yu forces or Yu forces to them. There was a lot of hills which were thick with jungle, and steep to get up, tired most of the forces of Yu down to get up them and clear. A re-supply came from Yu on Armstaggin' to the Yu forces a week early and a scout team went and got it.335

“Morganblood we must stop, we are being’ watched..” Kento whispering to him. Men moved forward to scount, but in the distance they saw a glint of armor, they did not stand time to wait for ambush, many of the men gathered there gears ready for combat. 336

Morganblood looked down at Kento and then arched a brow and quietly told his forces to stop where they were, they moved a few steps and stopped. General Crystal came off her horse, a cross-bow target at a glint of armor through the jungle. 337

Before she could say what Morganblood could say he said, “Who goes there!”. Crystal still had a powerful voice that echo'd through the jungle around them as we looked nervously to the people that were about to talk.338

“We are imperialist of the Yu Regale under General Firebid a long time ago..” A man stepped out of the bushes and trees. He was kind of big, but olden with age of about 1000 years, he had some old rusted armor with a bunch of dents in it."339

“We? Who are-” He was cut down by a shout from the background. A girl came from the darkness of the woods, people put up there spears, but quickly they widrew to a beautifull woman thats red hair was known throughout Yu from Firebid the Charger.340

“Shut up Lt. George, who are you talking to?” A girl around 19 years old stepped out of the woods next to him.341

“I am sorry General.. BlueLight these are people from Yu, an army.” Said Lt. George, standing a bit tall, but he also looked as if he were dazed most of the time. He must have caught something when here, Morganblood thought to himself.342

The girl looked at the soldiers , a smile came crossed her face. She had this bluelight to her smile, that echo'd as if the mooon was out on this very hot summer day. 343

“Yes, I am the daughter of Firebid..” A couple hours had past with resignation of forces and many files to be written.344

“What had happen? After the battle in Kashin? Your father didn’t realleh’ die did he?” Morganblood had asked.345

“We all thought he did, he was such a great warrior, and when we saw all his forces dead in a recent battle struck onto his forces, we pronounced him dead. We did not find a body though, but thousands of Gnolls, he only had 180 men!” Kento had spoken.346

“Yes’, yes’, he died in the jungles here though, his body is in the mounds, the volcanoes not to far from here. I do believe on your charter you have to go through there, but a couple miles away from the Solesk Eye in the middle of the two mountains. But oh well.” Bluelight had said.347

A flag was brought from Bluelight’s 300 man army, which had some women in it. The flag from the first Yu War, the symbol of a mountain with many stars above it, each mountain to represent the 7 isles of Yu.348

“So you’re the ghosts of the 15 year war?” A soldier had asked Bluelight. The woman smiled as if she was going to say something very childish. As she put her hands on her hips and then pointed to the soldiers. 349

“Yes’, If you call us ghosts, we might just start spooking you!” She made a weird face and laughed, and the soldier just walked away.350

Bluelight and her forces had gone to the Armstaggin' which was called in every couple weeks for supplies, which they took back home for awhile, they needed some rest from the harshness of the forest and see how there ranks work out after around 10 years of under military fighting.351

Under Morganblood’s command, the forces moved about the area to find a clearing, which was found. A small fortress was built to house many of the much needed forces and rest. Beer, wine, and many nice presents were opened in the months they have been set out on there journey of hell. Many of the new soldiers cried in glee to see old parchments which been housed in caravans ( Which is why the army hasn’t even taken the capital yet )which moved slowly behind them. 352

Kento opened his first, and many soldier’s terns came to. When it was over, many people smiled at the old boxes and what were in them.353

A meeting was held to keep the moral of the troops. They all packed around a nicely dug place, the humid wasn’t so bad and it was a bit colder. People set up little boxes as chairs but liked the cold ground better. 354

The first up to speak was Tison, “Hero’s honor, we are heroes, we have fought in’ the biggest of battles, and lived through countless counterstrikes from our enemies, I grave no-one shall take our ground, smile troops, we are winning!” He raised his hand into the air and smiled bright fully to the troops ago who raised there hands and smiled.355

“Well, this is the plan.. We will need to take Radoof, Craylot, Ticontism, and the capital Rashudo…” Morganblood said and then, “So our surprise we will be having reinforcements in the capital of Craylot.. And thank god for that..” Morganblood finished.356

The night had gone fast and many people were asleep. Morganblood went to his tent and went to sleep but had trouble going to. He knew that there was a city which had much unknown terrines up ahead. He needed to send scouts to find out what it was like for his strategy to work well. He finally got sleep after awhile of thinking.357

At 3:00 in the morning Kento, Tison, Crystal, and Morganblood woke up. They got into there armor and set out to the middle of the camp. Many people were asleep, and well snoring so they couldn’t be heard or even seen without any light in the area.358

“Let’s get this over with guys..” Crystal had said. The meeting was about to begin. The counsel was held every other time of the War, which orginized somethings that usually aren't thought of and can change most of the outcome of the war itself.359

Bluelight had been summoned after a couple of days in Yu to come to the meeting in the Medea tower which was constructed in the camp they were at. Which she did opinion on, “Blah, why do I have to come to this meeting?” And Morganblood said, “Because you are a daughter of a great general..” .360

The meeting was held to see what they should do during the war and there plans after the war, in which Morganblood had the first speech about ( Of course ).361

“Well, we need to take Radoof first, Medeas can take care of Craylot ( The reinforcements were Medeas ). Ticontism will be taken a little ways after them both, then the capital of course Rashudo..” Morganblood had finished with his speech, but then added. “The Medeas were established after the Yu War 1 and the last of the battles, which helped us take Kashin capital Kashin and end the war.”362

“Ah I see, thanks for the history, a lot of the things after the war we didn’t know about, you guys left a lot of army in Kashin, we know you couldn’t get them out. There is even an army in Kashin right now still waiting on you guys, Pickens regiment. Oh well though, he is a good person and might just still be alive.” Bluelight had said.363

Tison stepped up into the middle and then said, “What about after the war, it will be a lot easier to take all our forces out of here, no man hasn’t been left behind. There is a hint of no lose in the future. I been thinking of Calo next as the next war.” he finished.364

“Yus’, I also been thinking’ of Calo, it is right next to us, but we don’t have another army to take it with Gnoll so we will wait to we leave here..” Morganblood had spoke again.365

“Moral gives us soldiers power, the feeling of immortality and high emotion. I learned that from Firebid’s charge, which had a lasting effect to strike down the Kashin army’s moral and there strength to comprehend what they were dealing with.” Kento had finally spoke.366

“Yus’, that is pretty’ much of what had helped us win the war which was matched like this, 200-700. We were the 200 and they were the 700, out of 1000. Pretty’ fair?” Morganblood said.367

“No it wasn’t, not for me and Kento at least, we went through it all as little peoples, and.. Yeah.” Crystal said hugging Kento then Tison which was sitting down now.1368

Morganblood and the rest of them sat down and tried to remember one of the grandest battles and which ‘ended the faith of Kashin’ battle.369

Chapter 20.5 - A little off-topic370

Firebid’s forces rampage down a mountain, his large grimblade sword gleemed overhead. His red armor glistened in the evening spring day, as soon as the air fell, so did his blade.371

General Morganblood moved about a mile behind Firebid. There charge seemed like nothing to the 3000 Kashin warriors infront of them, outstretched infront of there lines, a symbol that they knew.. defeat was upon these warriors. As one warrior recalled "We are the candle to the cake, we will only pierce.. but not take".372

Morganblood's forces tried to catch up with Firebid's forces, but kept getting stuck in the touch jungles infront of them. Firebid was doomed if he didn't get his forces out of there.373

Kashin's forces moved only a foot forward when Firebid's calvery moved in the swiftest attack of all time. It ripped 350 men from the Kashin ranks and brought them into the jungles were Morganblood lay to capture and slaughter them.374

Only loseing ten men, Firebid's forces kept a barriage attack to the men, ripping and slaughtering the front line which was horrified at Firebid's intense speed and master calvery.375

The Kashin's footwork didn't do them any good, to move back and then forward did not do them any good. Firebid's forces just rammed into them and pulled there lines back, to take out them. They charged again, and again, they could not be stopped. "I rain, and rain, Kashin will always fall to my standard! Now lets give a real charge men!" General Firebid commanded to charge faster, there horses willing to give the extra tug, they broke the lines and ran through the other side of the army, intact, turning around to see how much damage they did.376

1800 men lay dead, 1500 Kashin forces and 300 Yu forces. The battle was grave on both ends. About only half of each army remained, Firebid's huxausted troops were deing more quickler then before, 60 men died on there last charge only taking 100 down with them.377

Morganblood made an attempt to gain ground and circle the back of the Kashin army, only half was succured. The Kashin's tried to excape and Firebid's army made the littlest, biggest charge, cutting straight through the Kashin frontlines again, pushing them back into Morganblood's forces in the back, returning to them, hundreds of men lay behind them. The sun was behind them, falling down a bit as they charged, the Fire was burning for Firebid and his army, they would be remembered for these moments.378

Another Kashin force unmassed from the jungle and chopped away at Firebid's resting forces who didn't charge. The Yu forces were outraged at the horrific battle, Morganblood fled as his horse was shot from under him by arrows, which he used to cover himself with. He ran to the side of the army with a dozen man, he grabbed on Kashin calveryman and through him off his horse to excape to the opening area of the woods. The horse was a little short, and he knew he wouldn't make it far with the Kashin, not behind him? He turned around, Firebid ran forward smashing a last standing charge for Morganblood to excape, which he turned around reluctantly and sped forward into the distance into the jungle to get aid for Firebid.379

General Morganblood hoped that Firebid had enough sense to retreat and hurried to any river to excape a few men who followed him. Morganblood didn't stop the horse at all intill it came to a massive tree. Then the horse fell limb and dead from heat stroke. He was correct to keep the horse for that long, now he must stand firm for the upcoming events, he felt the Foci was with him next to the massive tree. He knelt down beside it and gave a small blessing before the horse, and then stood up to walk over to the tree.113380

He felt another presence, he didn't attempt to take out his sword, he simply moved forward into the horizen of the tree, where the shadow lay. An opening was there, next to the massive tree, and he stepped forward into it, where a tall man stood. He was curtainly from the Barbarian Lands, or Clan Lands of the North, 'Why was he here?' Morganblood thought through his head.381

"Morganblood I have waited to make you the strongest man alive.. I am Isaac.. a long time ago we met in the mountain's. I did.. fix you that arm. Now I want to make you happy again, you have failed to many people, the war is depending on this battle, now.. take these."382

The tree and the ground rumbled around, the stones from the wall of the tree started to fall, and then.. out of amazment they collided together into small shaped of people, which turned into large then life Golems, there shoulders broad, they were ready for battle, they were going to stand against the Kashin army, as the other army led by Mountain Monk was on it's way with a combined force to the capital of Kashin.383

Isaac dissapeared into the wind, and the Golems roared with power, they jumped forward, running torward the Kashin lines, were they smashed into them, a slaugh-ter was ammassed, and the Kashin Column fell in disbelief of what was unfolding infront of them, no Creation of Foci had ever stood against them since the invasion of the Foci desert and a whole Legion of Kashin soldiers were slaught-ers, but that was another story.384

Morganblood came to Firebid's aid to defend the Yu cause of the war to finally get somewhere in it's raining diminish of the world. He arrived to a bloody mess, the Kashin forces had slaughtered the remaining men and some who tried to retreat.385

General Morganblood hit the men and through them back many feet from behind and out of the woods, swarms of around 500 golems against a force around 3000 more Kashin forces. It was a slaughtering fest, the Kashin's weapons couldn't break through there stone barriar of a frame. And died off almost instantly after the fight to the fast benedicting soul of the golem which they had from Isaac's summoning.386

The Kashin forces, and the war ended, Yu caught the Captial and burned it to the ground, which later years was remade again but had lasting effects due to the Medea's magic set upon it's grounds. General Morganblood came back to Yu with no rank, the Counsel had gone mad and almost took Yu down with it.387

Assasinations took place on the Counsel and a full scale force of the military took the counsel to the ground. A new one was made, the military became a leading source of Yu.388

Following that battle there was others, but soon after was 10 years of peace through Yu and it's surounding waters. Prosperity and power was envailed to the Yu Islands for those 10 years and now, the world was breaking into a hell. When the discovery of the Unknown Island which it was renamed Gusting, poeple became angry who would take it. Due to big arguments in capital cities people started to get angry when Kashin goverment leeked about the finding, and they started to think of spies. Gnoll caught a apartunity to try and take Yu in supprise and failed to even last 3 days on it's coast.389

Chapter 21 - Back on track390

A month later of replenishing and little battle the Yu forces quickly moved to the city which was only a couple miles from there fort. Morganblood moved his forces over a river which met several hills by night and crept to the front large wall.391

General Morganblood's army was split into three areas, to the left was Bluelight's and Kento's forces, and to the right was Tison and Crystal's forces. They crept in three directions and attacked all at once upon the enemy forces.392

Little resistance followed, many people fell to the ground and panic strucked many of the people. General Morganblood recalled "There are more sissies then civillian's in this city!" And the Generals laughed to the comment as many soldiers did.393

A swift little team under the command of Brigadier General George moved to the capital house. A shaman was waiting and took out a couple Yu forces with him before being taken. THat is how many of the houses were around the Gnoll region, always repareing for the last stand, which was futile, Yu soldiers were almost invincable with there stronger then hell armor, and there bodies to carry it. They were swift, they trained for years under commandments of General Palist, atleast the veterans were ready and willing. Many of the new fight-ers were gaining experience quickly, but the Veterans were always in the front lines, taking blows, and giving some. 394

Morganblood moved his hand to a Gnoll's neck and slit it, the blood poured to the hilt and down his hand. He kicked the body to the ground and shook his head then said, "This dude died of shock before my blade even touched his neck.. this is sad, I feel almost sad for some of these fools. They have arrogantly attacked the country that destroyed the country that destroyed them a long time ago, why, just why would someone be so stupid!".395

The forces finished off the town with little effort and barly a man down, but then came exception for the capital house accident, which happened about most of the time, where people would try to make themselves kill as many as they could before even declared a white flag, last stands were a nusence to the honorable fools. One soldier reclaimed, "I want to leave some flowers for these poor soldiers and civilians it's so sad..".396

They fortified the camp's walls a little with there own and then moved some carts in to eat after this glorious battle. There was already plenty of food in the town which really put them on the spot why this was so easy to conquar, the people in it were lazy, the fat easily seen even in battle, slow moving forces and easy cavings. George recalled the capital house didn't have one soldier in it.397

Kento held up a pure gold cup from the capital house treasure and shared it with the poor sports of the soldiers who went into the army because of homelessness and poor money, which reminded him of something.398

"General Morganblood, why are you so rich, some people say that you were a relitive of Urikaine Kuda?" Kento said to General Morganblood in a calm voice.399

"I.. I.. am.. yus', I am part of the family of Urikaine Kuda.." He said nervously, he was Urikaine Kuda, which seem to dissapear from the Yu History, miltary personel and as a person completely even from the large files before his 'dissaperence' came."400

Urikaine Kuda was a legendary leader, which was General Morganblood's name before the Counsel of Yu was taken over and then remade, which is why his name was written all over it. He had to change it, and because he was a large military personel, to escape publicity and forefourth away from people to study and plan. The Kuda family was a rich, a very' prosperious family and legendary for there defending of Yu for almost 1000 years. Around 50 members in all, most of the houseing for them are castles and very' powerfull military barracks. General Ryoko and Palist were the most famous next to General Morganblood, Ryoko was the only man to ever unite the Clans of Yu for invasion of the Kashin Army, which died 200 years after they did. But due to the network of Castles and experienced forces, they were able to outmanouver and destroy all the Kashin invaders before anything could happen in there land. Morganblood lived in a little house on a mountain away from people, which is why, Urikaine Kuda dissapeared. Issac called him General Morganblood because he knew he would have to change his name( this is a summary of what has happened to many of what happen, and why's of the Yu and Morganblood).401

The Yu forces slept for many ours, a few of the Gnoll excaped there ways and headed to seek help, for there town was taken over by the Yu forces, which gave them little presence of wanting to sleep but some did. Morganblood and the others slept in the capital house knowing there wouldn't be a attack for many days to come.402

Many woke up to a fully opened sun and a moon still visable which was the highness of the plants that effected many of the soldiers eyes. White spots and such of that were on the eyes of many soldiers and had hard time seeing. They recovered and sometimes got it a couple hours later.403

"Good news everyone.. from General Mug! The city of Claylot has been taken! Give us directions now, we needing to meet Xavier, and some of my high outcasted scouts up quiet far from you see an army coming straight to your area, I am thinking 12,000 men he said, it was like a moving forest of dogs!" General Morganblood stopped and then looked at his forces, which were.. looking pale.404

"I knew this was to easy!" Some shouted out, and then was tackled by the Gnoll army in the distance, it was the left flank which was commanded by General Jane. What is going to happen, think, Morganblood thought to himself.405

"Calm down you fools, you know they wouldn't attack us with that type of force, and I think they are, we must get the Armstaggin' to the river I have a plan!" Kento said, sending his scouts to get it into the river and gave orders to do aim the guns Northwest quickly.406

General Crystal told Morganblood's forces to meet hers on the hills and camp, send scouts a couple miles from the area and around it's prelimits.407

The forces were spooked out of there mind, many sat there and shook themselves to think there still alive. Everytime they felt a tremor or shake of the ground they thought of the 12,000 dog-men coming to them to eat em'.408

"The Armstaggin' is coming up the river Kento, and we have spotted the Gnoll's, it lookes roughly around 10,000 sir, not to good.." A soldier had said to Kento.409

Chapter 22 - The legendary battle: Battle of Hills410

General Morganblood pulled his calvery forward, looking out to the distance, he could see them moving, and ready for battle and blood. His hand raised, and he sent Kento's wave of calvery first, 500 men, mostly new soldiers stormed forward, roaring as they met the lines. Armstaggin' offered little support as thousands of gnolls climbed ontop of eachother and got ontop of the ship which hit the side of the bank and almost fell apart. 411

BlueLight made her brigade shard to the rear, a spike into the side of the Gnoll lines, and Morganblood sent himself and his calvery forward, pushing deep into the Gnoll lines, which he then was serounded by all sides, and they gave all there efforts in finding a excape route, panic, there was. 412

Morganblood tried to find his captins, he moved over to George, who was trying to fend off as many as he could, a slaughter fest was around him, dead Gnolls, as one came behind him and cracked the back of his armor.413

"General Morganblood! We are doomed!" Brigadier Georges last words, before being stomped and jumped on to death by gnolls. His body was crushed in several areas, and dead in the head.414

A siren could be heard, the Yu drums were heard from a small way , many of the fighting stopped to the beat of the drums. A black coated army came from the jungles of the Gnoll front, back, and all sides. Surounding the Gnoll army and Morganblood's troops. The black mass consumed the sides and was pushed out momentarily.415

"That won't due General Mug, you need more.. the center cannot hold for long, we need help.." Said General Kento to General Morganblood. The gorilla tactics of General Mug were smug, he was pushing back to many times without taking that much weight off the center army, which was getting tired and frantic to get out of there. Then, through the jungles, Mountain Monk had been on her way.416

The drums stopped and trumpets from the jungle raged, fire split some of the jungle in half. A strong womens voice called to Morganblood, "Yu raises once again! Lose will not be accaptable in our ranks, we will never fall to your lovely and pathetic kind! Yu will never fall! Morganblood! Stand tall brother! Mountain Monk has come!" The words rang through the crowds, and one Gnoll general said to a soldier, "Crap..".417

Just as the lose turned to a win again, the outsides of the Gnoll army fell instantly. The surounding worked, General Mug smirked with glee upon the hug of his men. Mug was a tall man, short, but always dressed in black, he was strong, and sang somtimes during the battles which gave his forces momentum, and commands. They were a rogue army, always coming in at strategic moments in battle, with a calvery company of 50, footsoldiers 100, and the rest archers/swordsmen, the company made a skilled force of 500 men alltogether.418

General Mountain Monk came with Fresh Recruits of 3000, which was needed, General Morganblood lost over half his army in the Battle of Hills. She was a strong woman from the first Yu War, she was a very grave ally to have, she costed a lot, but she was good. She helped take the Kashin Capital at one time, when no one else dared.419

"General Mug, General Mountain Monk, we have awaited your arrivel for sometime, what took you?" General Tison bowed to both of them.420

"We had to go resupply Xavier, my troops are weery, we need rest. Please?" General Mountain Monk said, which then the troops moved into the town.421

"How many forces do you have in all now Morganblood with the combination of Mug and Mountain Monk?" Kento had asked.422

Morganblood replied, "Roughly 5400 men, just enough to take the capital with the Armstaggin' with us. Now we need to go through those two mountains to reach Xavier after our forces rest. We will have to send the Medea army for Tisc-whateve'." Morganblood was tired and fell asleep only 30 minutes later in the capital house.423

The generals sat down in the middle of the camp to catch up on some good old talk. General Mountain Monk is the commander of the new recruites who needed to be trained. General Mug was like the rest of the generals who fought in the wars and were lucky to live the 37 champains. Alltogether Morganblood and Mountain Monk had lost 900 forces, the biggest lost of the war on both sides, the Gnoll lost 12,000.424

General Morganblood woke up to meet up with them, most of the forces had been rested for the days work and Morganblood wanted them to move out. The new recruits needed to be trained in chargeing and walking at a good pace.425

Echoeing through the woods a beat was held to the men, as they marched to it. Some tripped, fell in the large armor in the forest vines but were picked up by one of eachother. The humidity was horrible but there was lots of shape in the middle continent of Gnoll. 426

One soldier had recalled the whole trip into and to write now, "A heat bitten little forest of bitchness, why do I have to be here? Our troops, and our legs alltogether hurt! Gah.. can someone get me a bucket, my sweat looks good".427

General Kento had his forces do a double march, they would moved there feet little pace and faster then the others. Which they were used to, Kento wanted his forces to match the master calvery of Morganblood which he had not used for sometime since the Yu War. Many of them were switched to foot-soldiers.428

"Another no moon night.." Bluelight looked up as the soldiers sleep under this night sky. 429

"But a cool night, this is good for are weary troops, we will make it through the two large mountains soon enough.." Mountain Monk said, as the women regiment slept together away from the male ones.430

"Morganblood, blah!" General Canoon said, reading a message from Morganblood. He hated Morganblood with a passion from the Counsel, who was one of his fathers that the revolutionists killed in the overtaking of the Yu Government.431

He read it aloud, "Oh dear capital of Yu, I am takeing my forces straight to Rashudo. Tell Canoon to get off his bum and aid us, take Ticontism. Meet us at the bridge of Saratoga.432

Canoon mumbles standing at the edge of a shoreline, his forces stumbling onto the rough ridge of the rocky sandline. They charge forward into the dense jungles of Gnoll and to the city of Ticontism.433

Chapter 23 - The Medea's Attack on Ticontism and there wait434

The Medea's do a 20 mile run from there boats to the outside city of Ticontism. There Patalions looked outside of there camps, which was instantly set to camp the outer ridge of the City. Gnolls looked outside there fortified wall to they're enemy swiftly nearby and ready to strike. Night falls and the Medea's take there nap.435

A large barrier comes over the camp, frying all that come near it, as one Gnoll said "My hand.. my hand.. I have no hand.." from getting within 15 yards of it to block the ray that came to his arm, swiftly it was cut off.436

General Morganblood sent several scouts and messengers for the deep teleportation spell to be ready onto the large fort near the top of the Gnoll continent.437

Tison and Blue Light got reinforcements for the army when Medea's landed on the beaches, and on the other side was a large force of 600 to aid the Yu Forces.438

"In a couple days we will have 6100 rough soldiers, we could take our time now to take that fort onto the top area of the continent," General Morganblood said, then started to walk with his forces through the two large mountains overhead, "Then again, we might be stopped by these mountains, lets tread on." he said afterwards.439

He moved into the night, intill around 3:00 when his troops started to complain. They hit around 4:00 and then all the troops were tired and didn't have any more energy to go on, even when they have gone on in this war for so long. There bitter stamina... gone.440

Some rebels against the Yu forces stumbled against the tired forces inside the frozen hell as is began to become colder and colder. They were rough Gnoll's from deep in the mountains and skilled with there katars and katans. They were taken out after 60 men fell to there swiftness to the side-lines. The forces finally got some sleep after much needing of it.441

"General Canoon, wake up!" General Mark had come to the side and shooken the General. Mark was a madman sometimes, which most people learn when they come face to face with him in a duel summoned by his request, he never lost one.442

"What is going on?" Canoon said, Mark replied "Nothing sir, we just don't know what to do...". General Mark was a arrogant man, he had to be to be an Of Medea. He was strong-headed sometimes too, not taking anyone elses commands, and was apart of one of the clans that Ryoko sacked during his champain a long time ago, and now he was a bitter man to Morganblood, but did not openly say it.443

"What?" He looked outside his tent at a mess of Gnoll corpse who tried to take the barrier of which the Medea forces put up, "Ah, I see... just fry them, we will take the capital tommorrow, I need to get use to this bloody heat and so my soldiers!"444

The Medea's set up more tents and fried the dead and almost dead bodies away from there barrier with some fire. They were all set to go, many of the arrogent fighters wanted to take the the capital now, but Admiral Armstaggin', which the Armstaggin' was named after said, "No, we will not take it now, we must get use to this climate!" and they stopped asking.445

General Morganblood woke up to the colder weather then he had hoped. He moved his forces into and dug trenches into warmer earth. There was some canyons that he set most of them on to get rid of the cold, or some.446

Letters swarmed from more boxes that was sent to the army. Morganblood and others opened there boxes for new armor, sent from what is left of the Yu family.447

Morganblood's forces went to sleep well that night, no resistance followed for the couple days they treaded through the mountains. Looking up here and there, they smelled there victories coming up, and the chance to go back home.448

The Medea General Mark, sent several of his forces out of the barrier and ordered them to cast the horror of there destruction upon the town. Fire came from the skies as screams from all types of life and age could be heard. The Medea forces stormed into the town, burning and freezing the remaining. Mark moved his hand into the air, as a huge fireball came down to the town when the town was evacuated of his forces. The fireball crushed the town into nothing but a creator.449

"Good work forces, now we stand a camp to the west a little, and wait for our messenger to arrive. We cannot move into the hostile territorys under the command of Morganblood. Now we wait... " Mark said to his men around him, as they started to put up tents.183450

Xavier and others met with Morganblood after he came out of the pass of the mountain. They were thrilled as a battle started to emerge from the bushes of the South and North. From the mountain pass, there came a giant who roared so loud Mark later on recounted that he could hear it.451

"Dear lord! Spread out there going to attack with there calvery!" Mountain Monk and the generals stepped back into the middle of the army as it spread out into it's position. Morganblood lifted his head and a arrow came wistling passed his head, and hundreds of arrows came from all directions.452

"Left flank, left flank!" As Sgt. Jane said as her flank was whipped from the Northeast area. It stumbled back into motion and held, but lay back again as a second wave smashed into it.453

Calveries started to appear from the forest and the Giant Gnoll behind them started to charge with his army that looked like it came from the ground itself looked around 5000 strong. "That is General Baritoc'l, I know of him..." Tison said, as he pushed his glasses up, and then as he did, his glove started to glow slightly.454

"Isn't it against our treaty to use Medea?" Kento said as he started to charge a Medea attack for the General Baritoc'l. "Yes, but the treaty was broken as soon as our Medea forces landed here..." Tison replied as a wave of shattered rock and ice came from his palm to the General Baritoc'l.455

The Giant Gnoll, now that they knew he was a shaman. Pressed the air against itself and made a small shield from the Medea force from both Tison and Kento. He laughed with a Giant Gnoll laugh at the forces as small tornado's started to rampage against Morganblood's forces, ripping them apart. "Retreat! Retreat! Left flank has been taken!" Sgt. Jane said as she retreated to the left side of Morganblood and told him.456

Morganblood's forces started to lose Morale and complection of there own will to fight this massive force that surounded them. He himself was a little worried about the battle that he was actully losing. "Mountain Monk, force the left flank, they will never see that coming, do it now, and we will get onto the edge of the mountain, our soldiers will know what to do then!" General Tison said to Morganblood and Mountain Monk.457

The horn of retreat reigned through all the soldiers ears as they pulled to the left and ran torward the mountain wall. The six thousands man army started to push against the Gnoll forces as being pounded by the shaman's energy blasts. Mountain Monk was struck down by several arrows that was thrown by the enemies. She got back up and was picked up by Kento's horse as he ran passed her. "Not again Mountain Monk, you attract arrows.. I swear.." Kento said as he picked her up.458

The forces got to the edge of the mountain, splitting into three regiments. As men started to switch out there weapons on the caravans, some grabbed large hammers and started to impound the rockside. The mountain shook with the shear force of the smashing, rocks started to pumble the General Britoc'ls forces that was slowly retreating back. Rocks took down them, and a well aimed shot from Morganblood's trusty cross-bow from the Yu World War 1 shot the General in the head, who which let his guard off on the retreat.459

"Wow.. we almost didn't get that going!" A sweaty soldier said as he whipped the sweat from his shoulder and forehead. Mountain Monk's wounds were treaty, she was hit a lot in the Yu War 1 a lot and did a lot more damage. Arrows were a common wound in Yu War 1, and most soldiers could take dozens of arrows before even starting to get slower. Cross-bows wern't even a problem because how fast the calvery went most cross-bow men didn't fire from the charge of the Yu Forces.460

"Bluelight.." The general's stood at her side and crowded her room slightly as they had to inform her of something dearest.461

"Yus' guys?" She said looking at them with her head tilt to the side the ole' BlueLight way she did as if she was going to go into combat with no weapons.462

Chapter 24 - Bluelight's Travel463

"When we get all to the river bank near the Fortress, we will need you to get the Medea Forces our position. You know the lands and could quickly get down there. The boat will be filled with all your needs. Armagasstin' will take you.. okay?" General Tison said to Bluelight.464

"Yes.. yus'.. I will take the ship. I will do all I can to prove myself to you guys, I have been selfish and putting myself in a well protocted area's in the battles lately and barling doing anything. Thank you for this." Bluelight said lightly to them as she nodded and they bowed and walked out of the room to get herself ready.465

The Yu Forces came to the Fortress walls, as Bluelight set out for the Medea forces on the Armastaggin'. "It will be days for us to take it to even get into the last strip of land till we take Rashudo Bluelight, hurry your way, our win needs your speed." Crystal said to Bluelight as she got onto the boat.466

Bluelight sighed on the boats side as she remembered there is a fast way. On the side of a huge strip of land near a huge strip of water connected and coming to a end of Gnoll there was a faster way. Bluelight told the captain to land here and rest his forces. Bluelight traveled alone, running as fast as she could through the jungle.467

She rested a couple nights and ran though more jungle, more jungle, and more jungle. Breaking through many gnoll villages and almost got hit with a spear. Her hydranelin kept her up as she zoomed into the hardest living area on the planet, The Desert of Whales.468

"This is where I will die... if I don't hurry to him!" Bluelight ran as fast as she could, tough black and brown rocks next to lava fields provented here from even resting or sleeping as she ran across the desert.469

She has ran 30 miles a day, as Morganblood's forces tried to rise the fortess of Gnoll. His forces rallied against the 15,000 in there, not just soldiers but civilians. For days and almost weeks they threw all they had in countless times to scale the wall. The act was quick because if they found they were there before the invasion they would send them all out to take them, and not a good thing for them.470

Bluelight finally came to the Eye of Foci, after many days of thriving in the heat of this place, her backpack was all out. She scaled the steps, which were barly any steps, but a ramp. Thousands of steps later she came to it. Everywhere she looked, fields of lava, brown and black rocks lay, he feet ached with the pain of its bearing heat as she said to the eye, "My pain aches.. by love and power are running out.. please.. take me to the Medea forces, you knew my father old one. He served you when they tried to destroy you.. please.. help." The eye closed and then opened, sending her and her soul to the Medea forces General Mark.471

"Mark!" General Bluelight jumped onto him and kissed him on the cheek. She simply then got off him, she knew him from the stories, and she would get to know him over time. 472

"Whoa.. ah I see. You asked the eye, we been waiting. Give me the cordinates, before Morganblood's retreat is taken. We have been looking at his battle, it does not look well for them." Mark ran into the middle of the camp as he ran the bell, he yelled out the cordinates that rang the winning of Yu coming soon.473

Chapter 25 - Raining Medeas474

As the cordinates where made, thousands of light orbs came from the sky over the Fortess of Gnoll. The Gnoll General Targus rained out from his lungs a roar, "Our doom will never be forgotten!". As he started to become inraged with anger.475

The medea and shaman gnoll forces started to fight eachother. Men and women fired at eachother and brought sometimes both of eachother down. Soldiers with swords and spears where brought down by fire and freezing power of the Medea army. Lightning rolled off the sides of bodies of fallen Medea army and brought them back to life to fight more.476

General Mark throw his cloak into the air and then fired on civilians, "Dogs shall be punished for there wrong doings!".477

Morganblood and others finally retreated from the town and were strucken by a earth shaking monster who was atleast 50 feet tall.478

"Oh my lords and teeth!" Kento said as Mark throw himself at the Gnoll General's chest, spinning into the air as static fired from his body, shielding and becoming an offensive attack against him.479

The Gnoll General send a spell breaking power all over the area as Mark fell from the air instantly and pumbled himself into the ground, and Morganblood and Targus looked at eachother with dispair and treason of eachothers existance.480

"So... Targus, this is it. We may have never met eachother, but we know who eachother is.. our powers are not like others, we both.. come from beyond. Let us see who wins!" As Morganblood's arm from the elbow down came apart, a planet-shaking power emitted from it as he aimed it at Targus. As Targusesses armor started to glow with the same content and power as Morganblood's arm.481

They stared as Mark sent his remaining force into a blast from the sky onto Targus and his armor blinked off for a second and Morganblood blasted his power. Terror struck Targus, his emotion was seen from everyone as that split second happened. A gold light was fired from his armor seconds later into Morganblood's army, but then stopped as Targusesses armor fell off and his flesh rotted. Targus was dead a few moments later from standing there, he fell back and died.482

His armor emitted a last glow but nothing happened, and Morganblood scaled the beast and took a gem from it. He hopped off it and said, "Now to Rashudo... we have won!" Morganblood said as he raised his arm and everyone cheered.483

Mountain Monk and Bluelight did a headcount and it was there remaining 5000 they had left. Armstaggin' came back, a hidden note told the captain to get a rienforcements from Yu, and he did, a good 300 refresher. The refreshing army was built with balista's and arrowmen, made for the front lines and middle.484

Morganblood sat there in his chair as he staired up at the ceiling of his tent. "Wow.. just wow.." he said to himself, shaking his head slightly.485

The Yu forces rest before they were on the way to the most famous bridge of them all, the General Sarah Bridge. "General Sarah was a good general back in the day before Urikaine Kuda,Fistogan, and General Morganblood. Like Fistogan she didn't go into battle, so she did lack the exprience, but she is good." Kento said, when he used to take his soldier training to get back into the Yu Army 5 years ago.486

"Hmmm.. yus'.. we need to move out guys. We got to get rid of Rashudo. The place is a bloody mess, we don't have to worry about no army coming to us before or after the bridge." General Mark said arrogantly with a smirk and laugh.487

The Yu Forces moved along the flat lands and high hills around them, most of the 20 regiments where outspread but ready to spring into action. Many of them where scattered, they talked, some stumbled, his bushes, and where having a good time. The Armstaggin' was next to them, around two miles, which was it's range of the Grand Arabian Ballista. 488

A reward from Kashin a long time ago for there win. It's max range was 3 miles, but never been used. Sometimes, I wonder if there is going to be a battle tommorrow, Morganblood thought. 489

Chapter 26 - The blood bath490

One siren one out, and there was choas. Coming from all sides where seas of Gnolls, out forces where over taken and slaughtered. The blood bath came to, as gnolls from the high hills infront of all sides jumped into the densed army, which now formed and broke it's front and middle. 491

A messenger said to the Medea forces to get over here but was slaughtered going straight into a Gnoll Regiment. The new 300 refreshments who never saw combat froze but still got courage and fired there shots. Takeing hundreds out in fire squad of there well aimed shots. Tearing through many forces as they did.492

"You, son of a-" Mark said but Kento and others where yelling and charging as there regiment was serounded. Mark shot plague'd blasts killing hundreds of Gnoll's, pissed off he killed his own soldiers who got in his way.493

A blast was heard from Mark's rage which shook the earth of most of everyones army. Morganblood ran beside Mark and hit him with the hilt of his blade, knocking him out slightly. He fell forward and was asleep, and the mass killing stopped.494

Mountain Monk looked up and saw Morganblood and his regiment stomped on by a leage of hundreds more then his last 20. Morganblood picked up Mark and made it to Sgt. Janes battalian of the 300 refreshments. As he did the Gnoll followed and where all taken out in the matter of two squads of fire from the regiment.495

Two more armies came from the Sarah Bridge, serounding Morganblood's forces. Mark got up and tore a big enough hole in the army for the Medea's to finally catch up and join them. Mark knew what Morganblood was right and appoligized.496

Bluelight turned to Morganblood and nodded, as they both ran at the fastes pace every with there army behind them into the Gnoll lines. Due to both of there training in this, they thrashed and pumbled several of them and ran back out to join there charging forces. Cuts and bruises only made them stronger as they were attacked from behind by another force.497

"We will never die!" As Medea forces arised from the dead, and took down more and more Gnolls, the blood bath was ending as thousands of Gnolls tried to retreat up the hills. Mountain Monk's swift regiment came behind the hill and took them all down.498

Morganblood was hit hard by a hammer from a Gnoll Corporal, as he saw his chance. Cracking several ribs of the General, he sat on the ground, taking another huge blow from the hammer, he tried to get up and almost died as several shards of his hip started to shear with pain.499

He swifted his weight to one side and flipped out from under the Gnoll Corporal and slung his arm around his neck as a spearmen attacked Morganblood from behind, spearing him and the gnoll.500

Battlecries where sent from Morganblood, and several soldiers with terror came to his side and beat down the Gnoll soldiers and the Corporal who were a headband of resistance.501

"Ow... please. Do not let me die here Mountain Monk.. Julia." As he spoke to Tison, who ackwardly handed Morganblood's body to Julia to take care of him. 502

The forces won, the Yu and Medea forces sat at the end of the Sarah Bridge and sat there looking at the road to Rashudo, and the cities wall outlooking them, it was not defended at all. This battle was called the Blood Bath, it was the gravest of all of the Gnoll battles. Morganblood and Mountain Monk lost 4000 alltogether, and had only 1400 left. The left flank all recieved honorable mentions and rewards for there families at home and many, many, medals. 503

General Mark was almost demoted for killing of his own forces, but since he was well established, they let him off. In the battle 20,000 Gnolls came from no where, on the unsespected about 6,000 Yu forces. Gnolls lost everything in there last stand against them. 504

They moved and set camps around it and then learned the whole city was empty. "That must of been there last army there, let me go to the government building..." Morganblood said getting up slowly, and going to the building inside Rashudo. After getting what he needed, the Yu forces and Medea came to Yu.505

A huge feast was made in honor of the heroes and several brave Generals who sought out and fought hard battles. After several months of these battles, they came to the Counsel and where given who they will invade next.506

Chapter 27 - Ticonstism and Layjin' in the distance507

"General Morganblood, Ticontism is invading Layjin', and Layjin' is putting up a strong fight." Counsellar Ty said to Morganblood.508

"Oh?" Morganblood turned to him, his eyes were at peace. But now they were filled with some kind of anger of war, he was getting bored with it, such a bad thing indeed for a general with no passion for war itself. 509

"I am quit sorry to bother, but there fronts are in a head-lock. We might be able to take them both on, sending a split army, commanded one by you, and then the other by General Bluelight. I shall see fourth that your battle-ready army is willing to do the job by Friday, so you have three days to see to your plans, and tactics." Ty would bow, and leave Morganblood.510

Morganblood would turn to his notes, looking at them again. 'Only being good 4 months of piece, and already, there must be blood shed again... dear lord. Why does it have to be like this?' Morganblood thought to himself.511

Fistogan set her sword down, being so, she looked to the horizon. A home fighter from the Imperialist Lands of Layjin', she hated it to a large degree. To many terrants for one empire to hold, throwing the Empire into a blood-shed of war and violence. 'Now we are at war? How can we fight a nation when we don't even have our own?'. Layjin' has a long history of Violence and CLan war-fare, as so Yu did long ago, when Ryoko rained.512

Fistogan is a slunder woman, violent in nature, but a keen fighter, she fought with Ryoko long ago, and with Morganblood dureing the 'Kuda Clan' take-over of the clans in Yu. She came back to Yu, to serve as a soldier to fight against her home country. 513

The Yu Army set off for Layjin' and Ticontism, awaiting there doom and furtune. Under General Morganblood now, he was sent into the heart of Layjin', and under Fistogan she was sent to Ticontism, the war of all wars was commencing and many things await all of them on the sunrise.514

Chapter 28515

Morganblood turned around, the sun rising before him like he was on a great stage, "This is what all we have been seeking, we must attack now, attack swift, they are going to charge us soon, be brave." and then haunched forward, holding his side from the First battle of Tigor. 516

The forces moved gently through the night, spying on enemy positions and looking around at maps to find a suitable place to set Trap of Bloods. 517

"The trap of Blood, we are staging here tonight to wipe clean the army of Layjin', we have 4 companies around this isle, but we are the only one that are inland and stationed. We are awaiting rienforcements, and soon we will be able to take the capital. " A briefing as men started to wake up from there late night set-up. The Layjin' Government attacked and defeated Ticontism before Morganblood's General Fistogan could arrive. So now they have invaded Layjin' swiftly, and awaiting rienforcements. 518

Later on that day they set up more of a centural base, hearing about enemy forces movements. A captured platoon was investigated why they were moving, and the Yu army learned that the Kashin may be invading very, very soon, and have had made threats with there Navy. Through the day they sought shelter under the cold storm that came, but then out of the distance they saw movement. A large movement, a gigantic army of about 22,000 which Morganblood could not flee, so stood his ground. He knew, that they knew.519

"Morganblood! We need to alliance quickly, Kashin has sent men to Yu, and here, we must hold fast, do not faulter here my friend, my ally. I knew your father, we would not take that chance of you two alliancing and taking us out alltogether. The Madmen of this isle would aid you now, hurry, we must get move out. You remain here, they will be invading from the West sir. Go to the gates of Kalermiran and we will discuss plans there. " The general of the Layjin' army said, his name was Tyler. 520

They moved out, the column of the Yu army was moving and ready to fight the Kashin's once again with there new allies. General Morganblood led the way, knowing for that he had the guide with him called Xavier from the invasion of Gnoll, and his maps to guide him. BlueLight, and most of the other gang of General's were with Fistogan, because this was going to be a suicide mission to see if they could take the capital before the army would take them out. This story takes place in many history books around Yu, Kashin, and most of the history books of Canoon's History. This was pieced together by General of the Hodstock army, his name was Admiral, for some odd reason. Before he died he wrote this book to tell the tale of the glorious army in the world. 521

Yu 1100 After States ( A.S ) fortresses stock on food, supplies, as a Kashin Brigade stormed into the west Islees of Yu. Under Of Medea General Mark they pushed most of them back. Fistogan moved her forces from Layjin' and Morganblood was left without rienforcements, but was holding off the City of Kalermiran if needed to with a force of about 4000 and 2000 mercenaries. The Armstaggin' was lost in the Kashin Invasion, and was burnt by the Admiral Fust in a honorable last stand which burned precious resuppling of the Kashin Army, which had been at sea for sometime now.522

The Clans united in the Last Isle of Yu, and sent fresh and new troops to the Main Isle's of Yu, pushing back most of the Kashin in a flee back to the capital. Well experienced most of the Yu army was, because they have had been fighting with themselves for most of the centuries Yu had existed. They were large islands, serounded by smaller ones that looked large, but once looked at well enough, were small, and easy could hide forces and well needed defences and shelters. 523

During the Lost Months, Morganblood and Fistogan sent forces to either Layjin' and Ticontism, because they were in a head-lock in armies, and Yu wanted to quickly beat them both at the same time and move into Kashin. But Layjin' had made a incredible military victory against Ticontism and in a few weeks had the capital sacked and moved it's forces out. And now Fistogan has pulled her forces into Yu, pushing them back for a couple months of the Kashin Soldiers. 524

The world was in chaos now. Gnoll was no longer barly supporting itself in economy, people were dieing in Famines because of the lack of population to harvest and crop food. From the Yu invasion of Gnoll, most of everything was destroyed, whole forests wern't mentioned by Mark's rampage during the Battle of Blood where Morganblood was wounded for the first time in 20 years. 525

Chapter 29 - Kashin Frontlines526

"Heave! Hold the frontlines sold-" and a spear sank into the gut of the General Tyler, heaving over to the back of his horse and men rushed to kill his attempted slayer, which indeed, was his slayer. The spear went out of his back and he lay on the ground, giving out his last commands to his solders.527

The Rank was givin to Lt. Ole, who was now General of the Layjin' army, which was called 'Perma'. He gave one hand wave to the front line to pull back, which was very fortunate of them, the Kashin did now follow, they had gave them a good fight. "Perma, we have been massacered, they are not like there ancestors, they are now trained, and ready for battle against us, what shall we do?" a lone soldier said with tears in his eyes.528

"We retreat, with the remainder of my- no.. our army soldiers, follow me to Kalermiran, we must leave no, head out!" Perma Ole said with one hand raised, and then pulled back, which was the official command, one hand raised, and then swung back to there back. 529

The force moved back, a column defeated and heartstrucken by there commander dead, and now this not even known charactor who rised through the ranks from another army, which was the one they just defeated, Ticontism Lt. Ole. Ole was a man who knew combat, and when he was caught spying for the Ticonstism he was sent to the Layjin' Army, and slowly he gained respect for his knowledge about troops. He became good friend's with General Tyler and later on he saved in a battle. Now he owns them, running with them, holding them strong untill the very last. 530

A couple days made them appear infront of the gates of Kalermiran, beated and bloodied they walked into the city with broken tears. Most with shame on there faces, they lost half there force, and barly killed a man. Those who saw combat could only describe how they killed there own men to just to finaly take a wack on the person who lay behind that blade. The column of Devastion it was called.531

"What had happened Ole? These men are demoralized, and in horrible shape, just the other month I saw glorious men from other lands, and ready for battle... now I see bones and fragments of what just happen, a horrible bedlam of... I cannot describe what I see. Ole, give me the command of this army, and soon we will defeat the Kashin." Morganblood said to Ole, which he replied, "Very well, I have heard of your champains against them, as so General Tyler who pushed them back 1000 years ago from there invasions before when you guys came into the war." Perma Ole them set out to tell his commanders.532

Morganblood looked around the town, it was well and could easily be defended, and well it will. Archers got ready, pikemans sharpened spears, the Heartland Battle will be commencing, they all thought. 533

They stood ready, Kashin Forces on the horizen, a vast army of about 50,000 men, more then the city in which they defended. "Foci, be on our side, we are going to have to defend well here, and only here. Give us strength, give us glory.. give us honor. Let the Madman aid us in this battle too." Morganblood said to the choice that said there hopes to the Foci.534

Kalerimiran's left wall was caved in, Kashin forces stormed the city, and it was empty. Quickly the fire exploded in people's houses, which old men sacrificed themselves to burn the city alive to take as much as the army they could.535

A suicide squad ran through the streets, no armor, but many shortswords and spears, running forward they bashed into the Kashin army, as fire rained upon the army on the other side, imploding that part of the army in a panic attack which costed them some heavy damage. The Kashin army moved back away from the city were 2000 Layjin' Calverymen were waiting, charging and running down them, killing countless men and 500 people back at the last minute and firing arrows and more arrows, so many that the air was wisping and cutting, trees leaves were moving by the swift change of air currents.536

Morganblood's trap was set, the Kashin forces retreated far away, losing 12,000 men and the true number of there army was made, it was 32,000, now 20,000. They were moving out slowly, going to there boats that lay in the east. Scouts came to tell the Yu Army to leave and come back to Yu, the counsel was waiting. 537

Ole made his farewells, they would be allies to the end now, having survived another countless dead battle. Which was called thee Blood Bath of Layjin from that day put.538

Chapter 30 - What to do.539

"Through it all, this army has held together, we have pushed to the farthest reaches of these Isles, and I do not espect anymore, exept for the Destruction of all the empires. This is the our only proposal.. we are going to attack them all with the aided Layjin', and take them all out. It will be easy, Kashin is having a Civil war in it's capital and we could easily move troops into the city." Fistogan said, as Morganblood then banged the table to get attention, and said, "We are not, this empire is to spread out already to be doing this, I have a plan, we are going to use Isle of Dread portal, manipulate it, and go to distant lands, I cannot stand this planet anymore, we all can't. We are getting bored fighting these people, and soon we will be sure to fall as so the rest." and the room went silent.540

They looked at eachother and smiled, they were going to take the whole Yu Empire to another universe, and already, they knew which one; Hodstock. The plan was grave, but they first needed to beat all the powers, and put the whole planet in a winter to insure they have the fittest for the trip, and make the weak suffer. Through the history of Yu, they have brought many things that other lands needed, making the weak weaker, the strong stronger. Over time they calculated these plans, and this is how they became such a strong empire, and warriors, analyization. They kept history, and all plans, revising over them, and they had a task-force in other islands to keep food for them, as there population grew smarter and stronger. 541

Now they are bored, and must head out, to distant lands, and these lands were Hodstock, North, South, Karterpri, and others, inwhich mostly Mountain Monk, Fistogan, and Morganblood will only live to see.542

Fistogan drew the plan, and Kashin would be attacked first, their population grew huge from no wars, and needed to be weakened by a small force of about 20,000 to attack there Capital. Mercenaries from Layjin' will attack Gnoll and Ticontism, pillaging and destroying what is left of the Capitals and sacking everything and claiming it there territory. After Layjin' is done with it's deeds, it will aid in the conquest for Kashin. 543

A few weeks passed, and ships from Layjin' and Yu road side by side in the open waters, a glorious site to see from the Mainland from Kashin, as they came ashore.544

Chapter 31 - Battle for Kashin545

Morganblood stormed ashore, sinking in the muddy sand, and his forces behind him. Charging forward, one step after another with heavy armor, some were pushed back against themselves, and were helped up by comrads. 6000 altogether right now, coming together in a well designed column torward the small city of Ryu'ska. It was a little town, with a lot of blacksmiths that were prepareing to give a much needed armored division some armor and weapons. They soon got into a frenzy and sacked the city of it's riches, which it was filled with.546

Fistogan about a couple weeks behind them with the resupplies for the army was going underway when the army was going to need it in taking the capital which was in a couple weeks. 547

"The power of Yu had opened many doors, and has never closed them, goodjob Morganblood." An old comrad of Urikaine Kuda's came from the blackness of Morganblood's tent, and he responded, "Ah yes.. been a long time since we seen eachother Peacemaker, any problems will I be facing?" he spoke almost in a whisper.548

"Well, Foci sees that there is a grave destruction of his Earth, and a total devestion of his universe by one man. I would guess it would be you, but he did not tell me. " Peacemaker crossed his arms, he was eyeing Morganblood from hints of what is going on. GM replied, "You know more then anyone that I don't have the-," Peacemaker inturupted, "Your arm Morganblood,", and the talking siezed.549

Then Morganblood spoke out after a couple moments of silence, "I know, but I don't have the power to destroy the world, my friend.", and Peacemaker said before a slight vanish, "Oh, but you do..." .550

Being bored of combat has made him weary, and pissed off easily. Morganblood over time has been simply wounded just to get his hydrenaline pumping in some battled, even cutting himself to get him to even try to kill someone, which he didn't need to. His arm he used to use out of fear, the power of the Foci which could destroy cities, and has. 551

Yu Forces did not move that day, building a camp along the shore as more forces were coming from Layjin' because Gnoll was a wasteland, and turning into a desert over time. The Horizens have shifted, and Gnoll was turning into Kashin, and Kashin was turning into Gnoll. As Kashin changed, it grew more forests, gained more water, and through the past 1000 years, the soil has grown better.552

Yu Forces clammered against the shore, using all they could, they made a sand-wall and many fortifications. Morganblood smiled to there progress as the Kashin army stood and watched, as Kashin Capital was electing a general to fight against them for the time being. They had no one to command them under this short notice. There was a rally though, but the Yu forces brought many artillery, ballista's, and crossbow guns. Fireing at any charge made torward them, as training went, if they broke through the walls, the new unit called 'Castle Calvery' would rampage them back if needed. A squad made of even mounted Spearmen and Archers, mounted. 553

As the fortress came together, they wondered about the future that lay ahead. Morganblood was awaiting the time, Layjin' made a different plan then suspected, coming from the top of the Kashin Continent, they were raging war up there. 554

Chapter 32 - Layjin Frontline555

"Ha! Die you bloody fools!" The Captin Haro said as he moved his forces forward into the Kashin lines, splitting and making the footsoldiers fall back. The Kashin made a desperate attempt in using there footsoldiers to kill there calvery, but it was futile, even outnumbered, the Layjin' had 30,000 against 50,000 Kashin. But they were winning. A calvery regiment came to the side of the Kashin force, ripping into them, and the Kashin simply retreated from there, and they slowly picked them off, leaving the Kashin army wasted. The smile on the new General Toyoshiro was well made, as he raised through the ranks in the beginning of the invasion after the general was broken at the sight of blood. He was retired and went back to Layjin' for the time being, some say he would come back from his illness and be a stronger leader, but everyone knew that they hadn't had time for that.556

Haro and Toyoshiro were good buddies, constantly fighting and bickerying, they were good allies to eachother, and now were raising through the ranks together, and slowly, now he commanded the army, and Haro can do what he is best at, charging.557

The army rested for the night, knowing the Kashin wouldn't dare to attack them after such a horrific battle like that, they slept easy. In the morning they knew they were going to move out, and destroy those bastards for attempting to kill take there land. Killing there king and there people, they were going to pay for it all.558

The army woke up slowly, shrugging off aches and pains. Slowly recovering they moved and got there armor back on. Eating briefly for a couple hours, they were recovered, and they set out for the City of Sal, which lay a week infront of them.559

Day 1 is was, they were moving quickly through trees that would never be suspected in the Deserts of Kashin, moving forward they did not stop to drink or anything. No man fell without being noticed, and they picked up there allies, they must get to the village of Nay soon. Haro had captured a map of the region, and they were using it well to there advantage, the Kashin army was moving to the Eastern shores to fight Morganblood with the best general they had, L'ogen. They stopped to rest about 12.560

"Well, we are going to rest here for a couple hours, our plans are to take all the lands we can, this is Mor'a country, we must get out of here quickly. They have many allies, once we get to Sev'a, there naibhor, we will defeat them quickly by taking Sal which was where most of the population was. Then turn back to Mor'a and defeat there capital of Mal. This will be hard, they are on there own turf, but most of us are veterans of the First War, we have some men that know of desert, and know how to survive, let us drink the rest of our water speaking of that." General Toyoshiro said.561

The men sat down reluctantly and drank the remaining water that was in reserve. The village was about a couple miles away, Haro thought to himself, as he sipped on his water and then gulped all of it down. He closed his eyes and thought of inner Kashin when the first war went underway, they were Mercenaries to aid Yu in the taking of Kashin. The forests they leveled, a time well spent, now, they are going to other lands, wish, he hoped were a little less hotter.562

He moved more into the territory, his men getting up and slowly brushing off the heat, in which he told them, "Do not faulter, be the heats friend, and it won't hurt anymore." people did it, and they pushed harder forward, the heat was there friend now, an ally. 563

The man's eyes were filled with Glory as he went into the village, Kashin officers bowed there head, and flee'd to the neaest horse, some were killed, but some excaped, and the village surrendered and then gave them what they needed to get to Sal. "Told you they would do it, and this water is well, no poisen in it, the food is well cooked too." Haro said, eating a chunk out of it. The army stayed there for the night, resting on the ground, or in a house that would take them in, they were kind to the people of this village, because they wanted there support. They gave them loot and plunder from the Kashin army, and they gave them horses and much food. 564

The night went well underway. People got there rest, and the army never suffered a casuality due to the heat of the desert, yet. They were inspired, and awoken much cleaner and easiar, whith they always hoped it would be like. 565

Day 2, they moved onward to the City of Sal, with much food and water to last them. Making posts along the way, if they fell back they would have a small wall to defend and make way to the village which allied with them. General Toyoshiro believed in taking cities more then taking an army on, because cities were the heart of the people, and drains morale. "But an army is physical, and that is your true enemy, you will have to face him sometime during a siege." Haro once said to Toyoshiro, who laughed and said "After everything is stretched to good length, he would attack the army which rested soldiers, but well trained ones."566

The day was hot, but a little muck in the air, he could feel the tention now, but he was not going to allow himself to fall. Kashin was going to come out of it's hiding place with full force, and now the Kashin had machines, and the Capital was inconed with a Ice Barrier from there powefuly made Canon called the Systemality, which had range of 5000 miles, and had hit the shores of Layjin', this was all new information to the General, but he didn't have to worry about having his army cordinates ever being figured out in such time they had to get back to Kashin and fire at them. They were moving at 20 miles a day, good for the army of 20,000-30,000 in these days. 567

General Toyoshiro moved his forces in a calm pace, they were getting used to the heat more and more to there new anthuisiam for it. Smiling at the weather, he looked to the distance, and took a deep sigh as they came across some outlieing villages which he plundered and got everything he could out of them. He knew the Kashin army came through here and put up flags to those who were loyal to him, and they got what they deserved, he took no prisoners, his army could do whatever they liked in the due time they were there. 568

"Who is this man, General Morganblood? He is going to be facing about 70,000 if he doesn't pull out. But then again, I have heard the stories, he has the divine power of Foci. Destroying the Kashin in the First World War with little, I mean.. little help. Yu is an extreordinary place if it's about 30x's smaller then my own continent and they fended off a countinent that is 50x's bigger then mine." General Toyoshiro thought to himself outloud to his soldiers that looked healthy and uncannyly happy in the desert sun, which he smiled to.569

They came to a small village that had a Purple and Black flag raised, which was the colors of the Layjin' flag, and they settled there for the night. Taking none of there food or water, and gave them weapons, taking some of them into there ranks, but put them into the front lines because of loyality issues with the captins. 570

"Hmmm.. this is great, we have people ready to ally us, and if we hear that Morganblood is pushing the Kashin aside, we could go all the way to the North West side of Kashin and gather some rebels and use them against the Capital, we will need a lot to go against them." Haro said to Toyoshiro, who was wide eyed at the thought he came to far with such little effort, and ran over battle tactics if he was being tricked. Checking the map over a couple times, there was no way of him being ambushed exept at night, which Layjin' are better at doing, because there whole continent is covered in a black fog most of the time.571

Night was casted upon the camp, almost 30,000 men lay asleep in a perfect still, the night grew cold as they lay there. Some were thinking about the sieging and taking of Sal and Mal, but some were thinking about the taking of Kashin, so honored they will be, and soon ontop of the world next to Yu. Layjin' had come a far way, as so Yu. They were fighting soldiers and clans, they came from no where. And it all started with the invasion of Kashin, and the uniteing of the Madmen that were the commands of Layjin, from 7 parts, the came together slowly, knowing a break-up would destroy all of them.572

Day 3, unsettling it was for the Kashin retreating so far away from them. Today, instead of moving out, they moved slowly in a circle, leaving the camp, then coming back, and then finally moving out, sending Mounted Scouts out to distances, having them come back with no words of an army nearby. It was strange in all there minds that they beat them so badly. A scout was captured from the Kashin army though, and he said this, "We have elected a general, now we are going to go take Morganblood out, that is all I am going to say. This general though, is deadly, he.." then Haro slapped him across the face, "That is what the said with the last ones, now look at your army, running back, I hope you tell them that we are going to destroy KAshin for good this time!" The man said as he shoved the scout on a horse and sent him all the way back to Kashin.573

General Toyoshiro was impressed, Haro and many of the men were thirsty for battle then rather water. No one complained as they rested in villages here and there. To keep them sterdy, they did drills here and there to keep the army well suited for an attack, but they all knew it wouldn't happen. Soon they will attack and have glory for there actions by all the other continents, to be envied. 574

The Column moved forward, gathering support from village here and there, as soldiers joined with the army to fight against the suppresion of the Kashin Capital, which has kept them from gaining any support for food and goods to live. Angry, which the Layjin' Army did not ever see, the Kashin has changed since there last time they were there.575

Chapter 33 - Off Topic .. again576

After the invasion of the Yu Army, and the burning of Kashin Capital. The government of Kashin changed there policy, only focusing the needs of the Capital itself, throwing all ecomy aside and slowly destroying themselves from the inside. Many revolts started from there, and the North was the first to go, and the only to fully resist the Kashin Government, such as Sal and Mal, which now hate everyone and want to destroy them all.577

This growing conflict all came into being after the Kashin destroyed Ticontism and Layjin' in the first, leaving it very unpopulated, and then had a small champain against Gnoll and moved its sights to Yu. Coming at Yu they were pushed back by Ryoko and Palist, under newly built ships and navy. 578

Slowly pushed off into the distance, they collided with Layjin', and the whole Kashin Navy was destroyed. After that Layjin' supplied Yu with additional weapons and armor, with some mercenaries during the end of the war, they took Kashin, burned it to the ground and sent Kashin in a forever skyfall from power. Kashin slowly regained it, and now has a population of 200,000, Yu 100,000 and Layjin' about 70,000. Layjin' had so little because of the Ticontism war and the last Kashin invasion. 579

Ticontism was a wasteland, from the constant invasion, the Mountain was still a symbol of there past which they held so dearly. There tactics were grace and grave, but they did not adjust to the times. There generals were powerfull, but didn't have the men to back it up over time. Foci bless them.580

Through it all, all of these continents have held there ground, but since the Yu Empire came to power, there has been much unrest, and the powers have swayed many times since everything has happened. "The end is very near," Foci said to himself.581

Chapter 34 - Back on track582

The war pushed onward, Day 4 it was and they hurried to catch up to there plans of getting to Sal. No one was left behind, the army was eager to see combat again and seeing the Divide of the Territory of Sal and Mal was a insure victory of Morale as they moved into the territory of Sal, moving swiftly and more heavily. The desert heat they no longer were scared off.583

People fell here and there, picked up and cleaned with water, they stomped about 40 miles that day there pace killed there stamina though and sacked and raised a village, resting there for the night. A speech was made to give them new hopes for tommorrow, "We will be resting all tomorrow, and then we will run straight to the gates of Sal, which is not to far away, there, we will see battle!".584

After that many of them slept almost were they stood, slowly taking advantage of there tiredness and careflessness to sleep some more during the following day. Men were very tired, and some of the woman were aching and complaining, as so other men were. But they held onto that fighting spirit, soon they will take it all into there hands.585

Day 5, things going smoothly. The resting helped them rub there raw legs, and fill there stomachs of what they sacked, drinking lots of water, they were replenished for the next day ahead. Scouting parties came back with good news that, no Kashin Army was in 100 miles from here, there is nothing standing between us and Sal. Sieging weapons were constructed, and men started to have darker skin, and looked like Kashin bred men. 586

"We are going to make the villagers go first, they will not know that we are coming, they will think it's another clan attack, they will open there gates, and as soon as they do, I will send myself and my calvery forward into the Sal'a fortress and pillage. You footsoldiers follow, bowmen, siege from the outside, don't stop firing till you hear that horn!" The general said as men were shinging there shields for the upcoming battle ahead.587

They all nodded with contempt, there commander was a good one, he used many good tactics and small things like Morganblood and his generals to make everything successfull for him in the battlefield. General Toyoshiro smiled to his forces as he turned and gave the command to move out, swiftly, they were awake and well managed, they were going to attack early in the morning.588

Chapter 35 - Unusual alliances589

The Layjin' forces ammassed out, and came to the Sal fortress on time, the gates opened, and General Toyoshiro raised his arm, calling forward, seeing the gates slowly closing.590

"Ahhh!" they smashed the gates opened, running forward and gouging everyman that stood, woman and children were spared, as they rushed through markets, and at the end of the city lay the Castle, they picked up speed, and came to it, and it lay empty, no man was inside. He turned and quickly pulled his forces out. 591

He turned his head to the distance, and asked several of the Kashin Civilans of what had happened. As one man said, "They allianced, they were all taken by the Kashin army and now they are headed to fight this man of Morganblood, I am a retired Sgt. myself, but.. I am all retired and washed up." the Kashin man said bravely of his rank, but he then soon left them, and we asked several of the other people, and got the same answer.592

Puzzled, we moved out forces out, and then looked to the distance, this was wierd for even us. We saw some combat, and got our share of plunder, the city was on our side even after that horrible mess, the gate was broken though, but our flag hung in the air high above it.593

Chapter 36 - Yu frontlines594

It had been seven days in the eyes of the Layjin', Morganblood had his troops positioned, and scouts all over the place. But there was a unsettling force all around him, he was surrounded exept for his back, the Armstaggin' behind him, old, but was renewed over time from great repair. He looked forward, his eyes observing and lisening to the ground beneath him. He smiled, and then learned how many forces lay before him.595

"About 100,000 men, half the population of Kashin, with our little army, we stand no change. But, the Layjin' are coming from the North with much needed help of 30,000 soldiers to our mere 10,000. Fistogan should be arriving with additional mercenaries from Ticontism and Gnoll, which will be about 10,000 more. The other general's, BlueLight, and Kento, the only to remaining from Tison and Crystal getting married and retireing. We will be able to take them soon with about the force of 60,000 men, Foci bless us." Military Advisor Doyal said to Morganblood who started to make much needed plans.596

From scouts taken from the Kashin army, they said, "L'ogen has been elected and is coming here soon to fight against your foolish army Morganblood.", he pitied the man who said that, for he was young, and didn't know about the military champain he held sometime ago against them. He found himself so outnumbered that even a last stand would barely take anything down with the number he head, but he had a plan that would gravly take the whole Kashin army out in a day or two.597

Two days later, Fistogan arrived with much needed forces, throwing a good scale off, she had 20000, now they must await for the generals to gather Of Medea forces to destroy the Kashin army were it lay. They must, and they will, Morganblood thought in his head.598

It shook him like a leaf, he was growing arrogant, wanting to battle them all alone. He thought to himself, "I must no grow arrogant, I must remain cool, I must hold strong! I must be strong! Do not think you can beat them, you know you can if you try, they are powerful, do not let them destroy you now, plan.. Urikaine.. plan.." he then went off to sleep.599

On the third day, Layjin' Forces arrived. And the greatest tactic that Morganblood has ever done was made. Layjin' were called off from the battlefield. 600

The 30,000 Yu forces left the camp, onto the desert grounds, the Kashin backed up as there General Arrived secretly during that midday sun. The Yu forces spread into 500 units, the calvery in the back of the army awaiting to be used, inwhich this happened at 7:00 as it grew dark. The Kashin resumed there huge Column of forces. As the Yu spread, in the back of the Kashin army posts were made of wooden men and dummies with shields. 601

The 500 units of men, all spread across the desert sand, moving slowly and closly to the Kashin forces which remained rested. In the back of the army Morganblood lay on a calvery horse, with his calvery. On the right side of the units, it was about 300, spears in the front, bows in the back, about 20,000 forces. In the 200 units there was spears in the front, and mercenaries with slingshots swords and everything.602

They stormed the Kashin camp like that, spears gouging them and they fled in terror, while they saw the dummies in the distance, the armor flaring as they retreated into the claw-pinching of the units, they huge army serounded the units, on the fronts, but in the back the calvery pushed the puncing of the armies from both sides, and the Yu army opened up and allowed calvery to run straight through the middle and into the Kashin frontlines, pushing them back and then retreating to the safety of the Yu lines. 603

The Yu army pulled back, Layjin' came from the North and then those dummies really came alive, as Layjin' soldiers pushed the Kashin back and fourth, thrashing them, as the Yu army mounted from horses brought by Ticontism, a whole army of about 25,000 Yu was mounted, the site of all sites to be seen. 604

Trashing the Kashin army was, panicked stricken it moved straight into the path of the Yu army, slammed and it lay crumbled onto the ground after several hours of fighting. The Yu army lost 20,000 men, the Layjin' army lost 20,000 too. Kashin losing 70,000, the surenddered to the Yu/Layjin' army of 20,000. "We did it," the commanders told eachother, and the men inmingled about there experiences of the war.605

Chapter 37 - Sacking of the Kashin Capital606

Under the new General of the Of Medea, Turk moved forward, his chest infront of him as he was the symbolism of the whole Yu State, he was young and educated to be a general from the day he was born. He was tall, and built well. He opened a big enough hole in the wall of the Kashin Capital and Of Medea poured inside of it, destroying the big sky-scrapers that lay inside.607

Morganblood moved forward, his calvery moved into the heart of the city within a few hours, where it met the machines. Tall and big, they shot rained of large metal at the forces at huge feet per second, and many ducked behind building. General Turk runned forward, plowing through them, using eletrickal attacks to disarm them and destroy them quickly. 608

Little robots stormed the army, in which clones from Unlimited came to fight off the invaders which were old and rusty now from kept icolated they were destroyed almost as soon as they were sent out of there hidden dwellings of the city. 609

The city was taken a couple days later after Spinx left with his army which went to a offshore fortress which was made just for a last stand and no man wanted to go there. The forces pulled out as the city crumbled in there grasp and the Kashin's would never be the same, never to be a world power again.610

Morganblood's plan was working. Most of the population of the Earth was dwelling, and Foci was looking at his planet as if it was a rock now. Shaking his head he moved over to a table, the Foci, "These are times when I do not know anymore if this place will live, I do not know why I am hear in the first place, to create a universe for these people, and they bicker, is this the meaning of life?" Foci said to himself.611

Chapter 38 - The end612

Morganblood moved himself into Foci, the attempt to kill the God of the Earth was on it's way. 613

He moved to the Pyramid of the Earth, where the Golem lay. Moving his hands to his sides he jumped up, throwing himself at the Golem with much force, learning Of Medea when he was younger by his father he slammed his hand into the shoulder of the Golem which was a mile high, crushing it's innereds it fell and cracked against the pyramid were Peacemaker was waiting.614

"So you come to kill us do you, Morganblood?!" He moved forward, his wooden sword coming out to Morganblood's head as Morganblood pushed it to the side and punched him to the ground below as he drifted through the air and into the pyramid he went. Suprised by the power he held, Peacemaker got up slowly and shook off the blow, and looked up, he awaited orders.615

Inside the temple, Morganblood looked around, he was surounded by pillars, and a man called him, with two blades in his hands, he looked divous. "Well, hello there Morganblood, long time no see?" The man was Kalermrian.616

"Yes, I remember you," he said unsheathing the Black Kashin blade from General Palist's killing of the first Kashin General ever to be killed. He moved forward, Kalermiran the same as they attacked eachother with similiar power and blows of the blade.617

They fought, blocking one after another, Morganblood lifting his blade out to his head, as Kalermiran blocked it and went to his gut, the side of Morganblood's blade tilted and blocked it, a foot rising, a foot blocked, they were intense with battle. One blade came out to Morganblood's shoulder, in which he shifted his weight to the side and the blade went into his side, and his blade immediatly rose it to his throat, which was open now due to his attack, and Kalermiran was decapitated.618

Morganblood fell onto one knee, and then kicked open the door infront of him. Foci was waiting, "Well, it seems there is no choice, Morganblood.. kill me.. End me of these sorrows, and I shall send you and your allies to Hodstock and Kalermiran. These thoughts, all this knowledge about Creations, I wish.. I wish.. I was so much simplier.. so much.. please.. Morganblood, I will grant you the power to live without a creator." He plead to Morganblood, and he did as he pleaded, the Foci's head rolled and everything around him changed. He felt distance between him and his home for the first time, closing his eyes he took a deep breath into the air that was new to him.619

All that lay behind him, was now not behind him.620


Yu in Hodstock621


Chapter One - Central Hodstock on the warpath622

Morganblood moved forward, with only a couple thousand troops at his back. His eyes scanned the horizon in front of him, many ravens flew overhead, landing to see the vibrant and colorful army that lay beneath them. With eyes running back and fourth, he knew that he was not in Yu, or even on the planet in which he was born. The trees, the air, and the animals looked eerie to him. 623

Scouts spread out quickly, having the same feeling and maybe they were in enemy lands. Several generals, including Julia and Tison were present, in front of Morganblood, "This is very strange, we are no longer on the planet in which we were birthed, nor in any territory in which we know about. Do you have any idea what our next move is?" Julia asked.624

He turned his head and looked outwards to the trees at his sides and then the sky above him, "We are going to go to the old military tactics while in foreign lands, scout, secure native towns and-" a large movement was heard, a massive army or exodus racing across and through the forest in which they were in.625

Morganblood lifted his hand and yelled, "We need to move away from the movement, this may be enemies, and if may be, we need to know where we are first!"626

The army turned toward Morganblood, and started moving at a quick pace. Each step was synchronized, trying to keep in pace with the man in front of them. A hill was forming underneath them, but it was still covered in trees. A scout ran ahead of Morganblood, charging up a tree and ran up through it. 627

The scout's eyes ran across the terrain, his eyes widening as the hundred of thousands of men raced across a plain and several bunches of trees toward a large tower, beaming across the land its shadow came across the people, who were clad cloths and tatters. They looked as if they were in a rush, and as the scout's eyes ran further down, as a hawks, the moment became more clear.628

"THere is a large army chasing what we thought was chasing us," the scout yelled out to Morganblood, his voice being carried even as the footstep of the exodus broke even the heaviest of noises.629

"We need to move away to the outskirts of this grand movement, we cannot allow them to see us," Morganblood turned the army into a full charge, turning them away from the other two armies and moved outwards. 630

The army that was retreating kept moving forward, their white flags raising high, a large tower seen on the flag that resembled the one they were retreating to.
