The New Crusades, Prologue and introduction

The New Crusades: Prologue1

Not too long after World War IV of year 2283 AD there was an unsuccessful rebellion by the Jewish Army against the dark army of New Africa (once Thailand). Vix Han Burdez was the General of the Dark Army. The Jewish Army was trying to weaken the Dark Army to prevent their future plans. Burdez is the one that captured Thailand in 2241 AD, soon after the last crusades. Yet it is thought there might be another Crusades. That is, if Dictator Joana Lee Carpel of New Australia (once the United States), also General of the Christian army, does not surrender the entire Christian Army to General Burdez. He would rather use the big, yet weak, army to strengthen his own rather then kill them all. He is afraid though; Dictator Joana will be smart enough to have already thought of the consequences from doing this. The Dark Army are hunters, cannibals, and a threat to all religions. They are responsible for the fall of Islam. Burdez wants to capture and rule the Old Jerusalem. If Burdez gains control of the holy land, Atheism will rule over all other religions, and death will be among every man and women that do not convert. 2

Word has gone around in the New Roman Empire that General Burdez plans to strike the Finland Union (once China) and dominate every inch of their land, for Finland Union is the defense of the holy land. Without them destroyed, there is no possible way the dark army can even step foot in Jerusalem. His words that were broadcasted throughout world television in 2267 AD, and his last since then, were "We have conquered over 20 unions, and 4 countries. And yet others decide to try to fight back. And here I stand, on once Thailand land. The once strong and powerful military of theirs had surrendered under first sight of my army. Those who stand in my way, and remember these words, shall not salvage but the skeletons of their close families. If you will, though, keep yourself unified by heart to your union during my rampage, you will not last long. So either join me, or your blood will spill and so will the heart of Finland Union."3

The Czar of Finland Union, VerDamier Kasopolis III, became enraged from this speech. And has, since then, built up his army to prepare for the invasion. Which could be any year now. VerDamier Kasopolis III was the former Czar of Russia, which was not too long ago captured by General Burdez. If anything, VerDamier will not surrender his successful Union again.4

The struggles and deadly wars of the soon to come "show down" between General Burdez and Carpel are just chaotic and meaningless aggravations to one 13 year old boy whose journey through this dramatic world leads him to question, and give answers, to philosophies very lightly touched upon by people of his time. He is the son of General Burdez, and his observations of humanity and involvement in politics will entangle him within heartfelt, mysterious, and dramatic entrances into a life, and world, he never thought possible. What started out to be the curiosity of a simple young mind will become a revolution for humanity. 5

The New Crusades: Intro6

It is Mid-January of 2310 AD. A small town on the outskirts of Finland Union has spotted troops of Night-Fighters (Aka Dark Army soldiers) from the tops of their defence walls. Senate John Ash sends warning to VerDamier that the invasion may have began. VerDamier had been waiting for this day, and so the Chartiers (Walls that hold a big army within) finally open. A strong army of 2 million men and women blockade the border, set with rockets, mini trebuchets, and the strongest of all automatic guns - the YoiRex Gauntlet M77 for each soldier. It almost seems impossible to break into VerDamier's land, one of the leading unions of the world. Also highest among all the other countries. His had also never lost a war. Even during World War IV he was still a leading victor. 7

It is said, however, General Burdez's Dark Army had gotten bigger and stronger over the last 27 years. It is not said, though, in which way they had grown strong. For there are many strategys; ocean, mountains, fields, praries, etc. One simple mistake by VerDamier can lead his army to death. His military is only strong on the ocean and in mountains. That is why he took over China, for the isolation from the mountains and ocean.8
