Our good friends,

Sorry if we have been amiss as of late - the fighting against the barbarian forces is going rather well. We have "liberated" the northern barbarian city which was fueling the unrest through the Wyandot Range. The Wyandot nation is now on the patrol on the western foothills of the Wyandot Range.

If the Oldonian Empire so desires, our Wyandot forces will move over to the choke-point in order to protect both of our nation's interests - we ask this in advance since the Wyandot Nation recognizes this as sovereign Oldonian lands.

To the Great Chief, conqueror of the Terrorists

From Your humble friend Prince Rasputin VII

It is with great delight that we hear from you again. I have recieved your letter in the depp south of Oldonia as we are targeting the home frounds of the evil barbies.

The Eastern bottleneck is growing to be tireseom burdon upon my troops as they simply see wave after wave. They rest and recoup onlyto be sent into battle again. If you were to move your chariots of steel into the area it would be appreicated as my men could take some well earned R&R before returning to battle again.

It is heartening to hear of the capture of the two barbie citys.

We congratualte you on this achoievemnt.

We need to move to filling this void between our nations. and the nbuild a road to speed communications

Thankyou again

Our forces will secure the bottleneck region between our two nations at all speed (give us a few 'turns' to get there).

My map makers have been very busy updating maps as the last barbarian hordes overtook our newest settlement, therefore I cannot share a map at this time. We have not yet settled near the gold. Once our cities grow to such a level that it is too crowded, we will settle next to the gold. I plan to settle in one of the tiles adjacent to the gold deposit and most likely in one of the cardinal directions.

Roosevelt managed to escape to New York as he was visiting a nearby school reading to 2 year olds. While away he was advised a terrible onslaught of barbarian axeman have invaded and are raping the women of Washington.

2 archers and a warrior have fallen ... while a chariot has managed to hold their own in the suburbs.

Despite Roosevelt being dazed and mumbling about terror, the American empire expect to recover. We wait in earnest for news that our brave soldiers and resisting citizens of Washington can wrest our capital from the axis of evil.

It is too bad that Wendy has died as she could probably have helped distract the filthy barbarians. The good people of Celtia offer any assistance that you may need, be it military or food.

The Celtic people would like to know your secrets of tailoring. You have such fine clothes for such an early time period.

A long time has passed and Empress Rin grows tired of trying to kill everyone. Over the years her lust for blood has diminished until she took no more enjoyment from killing other. For so long all she did was focused on killing and not on her country. Her rule over Japan was not as good as she wanted. She was only in control of two cities and barbarians ran wild along the north and south. She thought about this all night. In the morning she called all her advisors and Hinata Hyuga the governor of Kaguya. She called all her retainers and generals for a meeting. In this meeting she told everyone her new plans for a united and complete Japan. She told they would no longer continue on the warpath. They were now going to switch all resources on expanding the empire. She wanted all of Japan to be settled as well as all the islands and land won in the Japanese/Oldonian war. At the end of her speech she told them all that once the empire was fully expanded she was going to step down and give the imperial throne to someone who not only rightfully deserves it but also was a great diplomat. She told everyone that Toshisada Oda was going to be the futre leader of Japan. Toshisada was the last decendent of the great Oda clan. For generations his clan hid in fear of being killed. Toshisada was only 10yrs old had was already the Daimyo of the Oda clan which had an army of 20,000 men. He was made a retainer after Empress Rin found out who he was and in a few years this young man was going to be the new Emperor of Japan.

News of the meeting spred quickly and Kenshin Himura once again showed up at the capital. He walk into a room were both Rin and Toshisada were both at. He looked at the boy and smiled. The boy looked at Kenshin with eyes of disbeleife. Kenshin walk to the boy and asked him if he knew who he was. The boy could not talk. It was as he was looking at a ghost. Kenshin spoke again, “ Do not fear me. I have been waiting a long time to restore my clan back to it’s rightful place. Now you will come with me you have much to learn before you are able to lead this country to right was.” The boy looked at Rin and she smiled. She touched the boy softly and told him that it was alright. The boy then looked at Kenshin and walked away with him. The boy’s army stayed behind to help expand Japan and get it ready for his arival.

Deep in the jungle there gathered ten men, each had travelled far. Each had delved deep into places they shouldnt have been.

They sat across from each other on stumps of trees, no formal meeting place for these men.

They greeted each other with the usual secret wave and then placed on the ground al lthe details they had recieved.

Plans for attacks on other nations, hidden resources, secret allainces they had discovered.

Al lthis from their diligent search of other nations affairs.

Now they discussed should they tell the Oldonian leader of all this. Would this revelation be good or bad for them.

They discussed if the information should be spread, should Portugul and Greece learn of this information it would bring war to the peaceful lands. If they did nothing war could occur anyway.

Lives depended on them, they discussed long and hard into the night, finally they agreed , messengers would be sent to to neighbouring tribes to let them know of the EVIL in this world. Danger was looming.

Before they had a chance to even drink the traditional secret societys drink, they were attacked by Black Robed Men. All wee killed , the information was destroyed. The Black Robed Men checked every body, stabbed it again through the heart. Lit large firees to burn the bodys and the information.

After the fires had burnt out they headed south again, no one would ever know what had been discoverd.

@Celts. We will only share our knowledge when the time comes, but right now we just cannot do it.

[Pitboss Greece]

Peritos lead Achmed and Captain Kirk, together with his troops, deep into the jungles north of Corinthia.
They didn't talk much. Achmed nor Kirk questioned much.

Menelaus, 2nd in command of the group, walked to Peritos after many days and said:
"Why are we leading these cowards towards the Japanese?"

"Lacedaemon wants to see how they handle this situation to learn more about the Piercians and Oldonians" Peritos answered.

"Didn't we learn enough about these inferior peoples by now?" menelaus responded.

"What do you mean?" Peritor asked.

"What kind of pride is there to wait hours and hours outside the doors of a foreign ruler, only to meet him for a few seconds and to be lead away by a few soldiers to an obscure destination?" Menelaus said.

"Why would any kind of peoples with pride and self-respect let this be done to themselves? I see nothing in these peoples. Let's get rid of them."

"I have orders from Lacedaemon and I will protect them with my life" Peritos countered.

"Lacedaemon won't rule forever. It is my duty to serve Sparta! Not Lacedaemon." Menelaus whispered. "These pathathic men from Oldonia and Piercia don't deserve life. I will not waste my time leading them through the jungles. Let us kill them. Now."

"NO", Peritos said with anger in his voice.
Menelaus took his knife and raised it while screaming: "My knife will show the pride of Sparta against the cowards of abroad."

Peritos grabbed his spear.
Both men circled around each other.
"Why would you fight me over two worthless people who don't have any pride?" Menelaus asked.

"Because I was asked to do by Lacedaemon, a man I respect most of all. I trust his vision." Peritos screamed.

"Lacedaemon is old. You may never see him alive, neither when you will live to see tomorrow nor if you die while defending the cowards." Menelaus stabbed at Peritos who stepped back just in time.

Meanwhile Captain Kirk and Achmed slowly stepped away into a different direction, trying to get away unnoticed......

Hail Lacedameon!

According to my scouts and informants a foreign ship of fair-haired men are travelling in our direction from your shores. I have come with a search party to find these men. We would also like to ask that our people open borders to one-another in order to foster trade and understanding among our people. We hope this will be acceptable to your liking.

Further we wish to invite you, on behalf of their majesties Supreme King Wang Geon of Goguryeo and Princess Sinjeong of Joseon, to the Mayan capital of Tikal to witness the marriage of Empress Daemoke and King Pacal II of Maya. We hope we can count on your attendence.

Thank you for your time.

-General Gang Jo-

Response from the assistant of Lacedaemon:

"Lacedaemon wants to let you know that he will open his borders to the Korean people. He cannot attend the marriage because of his old age."

"Lacedaemon is weak....... he is old, he can not rule us anymore!" Menelaus whispered.

"Don't speak bad of our leader! Our hero! you should die for this!" quickly Peritos trowed his spear at Menelaus. He missed. Menelaus in return tried to stab at Peritos who countered the attack with his shield while grabbing his knife as well.

"We should not live in the past." Menelaus said. "Lacedeamon will be remembered for his actions in the past but the future holds nothing for him"
Then Menelaus saw both strangers trying to escape into the jungle. "Don't let them get away!" he yelled while trying to go after them. But Peritos jumped on his back and grabbed his hair. "I'd rather lose them to the jungles then to their dead" he said.

A Shorty, I Promise...

Wang Geon called upon his Generals Shing Sung and Bae Hyeongyeong (as well as Captain Jimong) to discuss the plans for the trip to Tikal. The fare was much more "spartan" (not the people the adjective) than the fare at the ceremony with Pacal, but it was none-the-less good and more familiar to the soldierly types at the meal.

"...the copper mines have been a great success and this time they are heavily guarded, our expeditionary force has the Aztec villiage in their sight and are watching for any troop movement. We finally have them in our grasps sir, I can safely say the Aztec threat has been neutralized." Jimong said proudly.

"Very good, very good" Wang Geon said "We should still go about this with a strong sense of urgency though, we can't risk anything going badly right now."

Bae put down his goblet of wine "Agreed, it is imperative that these scoundrels be destroyed as soon as possible, I think the best-"

A guard barged in interrupting General Bae.

"My lord, a message from the Greeks sir, from Sparta!" the guard said, holding out a message.

Bae quickly rose from his seat and took the message, he looked it over quickly and gave it back "I'm sorry my lord" he said to Wang Geon "I must make haste to Sparta."

Wang Geon looked confused "What is it? What is the matter Bae?"

"It is Lacedaemon sir, he is dying."

Wang Geon stared at Bae, how could he care for this Greek so much? "Very well Bae, you may go."

"Thank you sir."

"Take my horse, he is the swiftest in all of Korea" Wang Geon said...
