[Trillions of years, Might? How? The universe, for one thing, is only 7.5 billion years old at present, and is unlikely to continue far beyond 15 or so billion. You'll have to give a *reason* there...]

[You know, this Chaoticus fellow seems to be a complete retard for someone who's existed since the beginning of the universe. Which is 7.5 billion years ago. Wouldn't he have learnt some battlesmarts in that time? Like: Don't fall for the same trick twice within a day? He never does anything proactive, either, like all of these gods you've been facing.. he just sits there, waiting to be killed, and throws up a generic fireball-and-blade-smash whenever someone comes along...]

[No, but this is way too easy. And lazy *glares at Might*]

[Hell has existed long that Earth, my friend. Just as you are older than earth :P]

[I don't? Might is 67.....He will die soon. I have a backup.]

[Quick question. Are the dragons susceptible to magic or arrows or even weapons?]

[Also, I'm assuming they fly... That right?]

*Wraith looked from the top of the mountain at the demonic horde marching at them. They outnumbered them at least by 5:1. He was going to have to think hard to win this battle.

He looked at the pass they were in. His soldiers were tough, strong and disciplined compared to the demonic horde that pillaged and had no discipline at all. He ordered the soldiers to be in a line formation, 5 men deep. The soldiers in front had tall shields and swords. The ranks behind them wielded spears, pikes and halberds which were wrapped with pitch at the end and set alight. The Soldiers who didn't have a place in the line formation were given bows. Fires were lit next to them, every few yards.

Some archers were also placed in the mountains, in places that were impossible to reach for the mutated humans. They were accompanied by mages at a ratio of 1 Mage: 2 Archers.

The airships were loaded with the remaining mages and any other archers that could be spared. These archers had blessed arrows.

The Horde entered the narrow pass. They smelled the human sweat and the blood flowing through their veins and this frenzied the Horde. They charged straight at the humans. The Archers fired wave after wave of arrows. Wraith was helping and aiming more specifically at the general(?). The shield wall braced itself and held while the back soldiers stabbed and slashed at all possible targets.

Meanwhile, the flying dragonships were engaged in battle with the dragons. The mages and archers whizzed around shooting and casting spell after spell at the winged horrors.*

[Septim, can yout ell me what the losses are? ALso I want to point out that we are in a very narrow pass and therefore most of the advantages of the Horde are countered because they are being 'funnelled', so to speak.]

Erunion had heard of a chaotic horde, and had ordered his troops to attack it. Since there were very few people at the meeting, he teleported to the head of his army.
In the distance, he saw a huge battle in a mountain pass.
{I've left a third of my standing army back home, with all of my new recruits. All my able bodied people are being trained as an effective militia.}

"Men, we must stand together against these hordes or we will all die. Today, we will support the people of the Wrathish Empire. Are you ready to fight, and die for freedom? Forward Naergothrendarins!"
The Naergothrendarin air force was the first warning of the reinforcements. The predominantly fighter based airfleet was busily engaged in strafing and bombing the chaotic horde, whilst leaving a goodly number of craft to provide cover against the Dragons.
The Naergothrendarin light cavalry (armed with Ashenderai, shortbows and with the standard armour) then appeared, launching volley after volley of arrows into the horde, then escaping from the repercussions. After them came the main body of the Naergothrendarin army, formed into a pike/shield wall and advancing in formation. Once the archers were in range, they started unleashing volley after magically assisted volley into the army. The chaotic horde at this time was infuriated, and a goodly number of them turned and charged. Several more volley*beep* them head on, causing more and more damage as the troops got closer. Then, just as the horde hit the pike wall, the Heavy cavalry (armed with shields, swords and lances, with heavy armour for them and their horse) charged it's flanks.
The archers continued to fire into the center, and the aircraft continued to strafe it, as the light cavalry, (now behind this segment of the force) continued to launch volleys into the horde and the heavy cavalry kept charging in, pulling out, grabbing a new lance then charging again.
The undisciplined (this is the army of Chaos, so I'm guessing Discipline isn't there strongest suit) rabble turned and fled into the main horde. The pike wall opened and the heavy infantry charged, Ashenderai and Trendarats tearing the fleeing horde apart. As they fled, the light cavalry fired it's last volley, then closed to engage on the sides (carefully leaving an opening for the enemy to flee into) and the heavy cavalry drew swords and swept the enemy away. As the enemy were all pushed into one thin stream of fleeing troops, the aircraft swept down again and dropped there exploding potions, then strafed them...
The now decimated part of the horde was then charged by the light cavalry head on, the heavy cavalry on the sides and the heavy infantry in from the rear.
They were all doomed.
{You tell how many pulled off from the main force to fight me, but those are now almost all dead. Also say how many men I lost, but with a dense shield/pike wall, I don't expect heavy casualties. Infact, if all went well, my casualties should be minimal.}

[Wraith is a General in my Empire :P Soon though he will have his freedom.

[[OOC: Chaoticus was forced down into the heart chamber the second time...and mortal weapons can do no harm to either of us, we must use magic or our fists. I am more powerful than him now, due to the fact that I have absorbed a large amount of his essence. He is missing one of his arms, one of his legs, most of his face, one eye, and his chest is open, but he cannot be vanquished until I destroy him in his own realm...]]

*Might hears of the news.*

[[OOC: What are ya planning on doin'? I won't use my powers for evil...]]

Septim, the only God, returns to his Grand Plane and sits upon his throne. A demon named Ashernickel comes forth.

"Milord, it seems that Emperor Might of Mightaria, his General, and his demon are planning something...", says Ashernickel.

"If they want to talk to me about their concerns, they can, I am willing to listen...", says Septim.

[[OOC: Our losses are severe, each Empire now has 50,000 men, Erabor has 25,000...]]

[Septim, who said I was planning something? Im just trying to restore some semblance of balance.]

Erabor's economy slackens, and it sinks into third world status, with people poor and starving in the street, houses are rare, and guards are fat and corrupt. A prophecy is made that one day, a hero will rise and rescue Erabor from it's tragic fate.

***

Jonas Topal's Empire becomes an economic powerhouse, with no man poor.

***

Pelagius Septim grows fat and corrupt, executing at least ten people every day of his reign.

***

Calus Septim IV cannot interfere with his Empire's economic problem, for it would be unfair to the other Empires...though he will make sure the prophecy comes true.

[[OOC: Wtf is a decimator...airships use ballistas...there are no guns, or anything in this game. You use crossbows, bows, swords, maces, flails, and explosive potions...if Might is using decimators on his airships, they are void and he has been using ballistas in reality...]]

Garius quits his post, disgusted in the corruption of the once great Eraborian Empire.

***

A twenty year old slave named Validus Nuntius escapes the custody of his master in Erabor and, never wanting to abandon his homeland, he takes a job as a soldier, within three months he is a Major, and his men grow to love him for his honor in place of the injustice and corruption that most officers have.

*Mights forces launch a surprise attack on the trolls, massacreing any semblance of a army before resistance can be put up. He places Wraith in Charge of the Troll lands.*

[Scrap Might's last post. When I wake up I'll draw up a battle plan...]

*Delran improvements the name of his empire to Empire of Khorelia. Khorelia soon becomes one of the three economical superpowers on the island of Eru (Tolpalian Empire. and Zyirke's empire.) Delran orders that law courts and hospitals be built in each city of Khorelia and gives his empire a Constitution.

Using the monutains and cliffs form the borders, Delran builds an impressive fortification sistem arround his empire with forts, guard towers and mage towers in each fort, fortress and settlement.

After all this, Delran concentrates the economical power of Khorelia in the research facilities, build all over his empire. Also he builds armouries and blacksmiths complexes in all cities and fortresses.

The mutants being conquered by the god Septim, Delran sends home all civilian enrolled in the army, except those who wish to follow a military or magical career. The Imperial Khorelian Army will soon reach its first size of 100k men after the battles with the mutants and then 400k men, due to the measures taken by Delran before the invasion.

The Khorelian education sistem its like this:

Schools - Military Accademy - Imperial Collegium - Advanced Collegium

Schools - Universities - Imperial Collegium - Advanced Collegium

Univesities - work in the domain specialised

Military Accademy - soldier

Imperial Collegium - Lieutenant

                             - Mage

Advanced Collegium - + 1 rank in army/mage ranks

Delran orders that all his officers must have at least a basic mage training. Also all officers swords will be made by a blacksmith and a mage, to ease spell casting in combat and increase the weapons power. The same is done for armours and other weapons. Soldiers will receive an armour giving them some protection against magic.

Delran also orders that mining parties be sent to find mithrill and other strong ores.*

[Septim,can you tell me what happened to the treaties I sent to the other islands and if my officers managed to recruit any foreign soldiers or mages in my forces? Also tell me if I find any ores.]

[[OOC: Verthias, Might, Wraith, you must conquer at least most of the main island before conquering anything else.

Troll lands: 500,000 soldiers

Xerillia: 4,000,000 soldiers

Drakonia: 750,000 soldiers (100,000 can transform...)

Monkey Isles: 400,000 soldiers

Tigaria: 500,000 soldiers

Serpentia: 600,000 soldiers

The maximum number of troops per Eraborian province is 125,000...]]

What is left of the mainland to conquer?

*Might surrounds the island of the Trolls and bombards all the Military encampments and farms with his superior mages. He places Wraith in charge of the main assault force and Xerxus in charge of the wizards.*

(OOC: you mean Zyrike and i know thats y im preparing not attacking...)

[[OOC: You do know, Might, that trolls can farm...and have food stockpiles...]]

*Delran receives Verthias's message and send one back asking about the leadership of this merge.

Delran ordes that a highly skilled elite unit be formed - The Special Operations and Tactics Unit (Sotu). Sotu will have the efectives of a division - 25,000 men. They will be used in infiltrating enemy provinces and destroying enemy units. Also, when they are in Khorelia, they act as civilians, and in case of an invasion, they will form a resistance movement and sabotage all enemies plans, also if possible they will massacre any enemy unit within the borders of Khorelia.

Numbers on the military power of Khorelia:
