The story of the great citadel of the largest population of Reapers. Built by the son of the great tactician Xeires...

Xeirax pushed his troll men as hard as he could to a nice area of rolling plains in between a river and mountains, he kept his army farther to the east of his kingdom's roots of greatness. The troll marched for 2 long and unforgiving days hauling masses of resources to Xeirax's planned location. The trolls were constantly on work the task of building a small town. Xeires was soon planning to make this Citadel a great landmark and contain the largest population of reapers on the face of the world. As the horde of Xeirax toiled unrelentlessly, they wondered why Xeirax remained in his tent and not helping them. In another days time they knew why he kept himself in solitude. A great portal out of the ground was cast by the mighty Xeirax, within you could see a vast land covered in black towns and cities. From the portal came a seemingly endless horde of demons, imps, orcs, and trolls. They all went immediatly to work on building Xeirax's citadel. Another form came out along with Xeirax's future son, That form was that of an elf, his name was Mr. Timmev.  He helped Xeirax and guided him on building defences and that if anyone should break the walls that the clan should build, then they should seek out a certain orc that could form a portal to another land that would allow them to start off with a fair start...

After a few hours, a 100 troll grew to thousands that all were paid greatly by the great ruler of the future citadel. They had come to help and protect the young citadel and make it 3 times as fast. This would be followed by an attack that would have caused the kingdom to flee and find that orc after only a week of building in this era. But with the help of demons and numerous grimm reapers, this would be a massacre to the attackers.

The battle started. There was carnage everywhere. Death was quick to the orcs, and their numbers dwindled quickly. However, the army of EVIL did not go without casualties either. Many reapers and trolls where lost. However, the orc army was slaughtered. A few managed to escape, but where quickly killed.
The slaves that had been taken where promised freedom if they helped complete the citadel. It would take just a few weeks now, with a few hundred thousand stronh humans helping out.
Jonny Bacardi and his escort of ten thousand knights rode up to the building site, to meet with the grand architect who would take on such an awsome feat.
They where not dissapointed, and soon, Jonny and Xeirax sat facing each other.........

The great Citadel was nearing completion but Xeirax was nowhere to be found. Nor were both Timmievs and Xeodrade, they seem to have vanished along with their weapons and a handful of reapers.

"Xeirax has left for somthing more important, he left me, Varge, In charge. We will continue to build this citadel and we were also ordered to commence in the task of building a great wall inbetween the two mountain ranges a few miles south. He'll inspect and then take care of everything else then. Any questions?

The army marched torwards the citadel and all hell turned against them. the front left fell into pits and were impaled by spears. The right front were bombarded by boulders, slings, and javlins. The middle suffered hails of poison, fire, and shadow arrows. All three fronts took hits from the catapults. The army mindlessly disbanded and broke in all directions. those still charging were gored by trolls and human knights hiding in 3 trenches near the wall. The deserters were run down by knights and hit with arrows from the forests. By the end of the day, Varge's defenders suffered no losses and 17 wounded. The attackers lost 3,417,802 and 367 wounded and 7 non wounded. Those surviving forces were taken in as slaves...
