The Apolyton Empire: Game

[Easthaven I]

Early July 1402

Battle of Sanhopi Heights

The 5th Army surrounded the Sanhopi hieghts. Field Marshall Easthaven and his Gaurd took a position on the southern end of the heights, on a hill.

He ordered small probes in the night to decipher enemy strengths and weaknesses in their defensive lines. He found the group somewhat disorganized and acted individually.

He began bombardment in the center of the hieghts to annoy the enemy. It was successful in forcing a few small attacks on Apolytonians, this lowered Council manpower by killing them off.

At dawn, Field Marshall Easthaven ordered a small offensive on the eastern edge of the hieghts, when they were engaged for a time being the Apolytonians were to become 'routed' and feign retreat. This was successful in decieving the enemy and enticing them, mainly because of the enemy's disorganization and lack of united leadership under one rule.

The commander of the enemy eastern forces was enticed by the Apolyton routed and retreating forces and ordered his forces to chase them and prevent their escape. He wanted to wipe this group out. All he did was separate his forces from the rest of the council, and once this was done the 'retreating apolytonians' quickly regrouped and advanced towards their chasing enemy.

When the enemy easterners realized what happened morale plummeted, they were attacked from behind and from the front. After a small skirmish, they surrendered.

The Apolytonians now had a firm foothold on the hieghts.

Field Marshall Easthaven quickly ordered the regiments who contained the foothold on the heights to immediately charge forward across the hieghts attacking the enemy western forces and dividing the northern defenders from the southern.

The western defenders were at first caught off gaurd but immediately turned to fight. When they turned, the stationed Apolytonian elements in the west of the western defenders advanced to attack, noticing the enemy's attention on the attacking eastern Apolytonians-giving the enemy westerners the same situation that their eastern partners had. With this diversion, council commanders reinforced the western flank by sending some northern soldiers in an attempt to break through the Apolyton lines and connect the northerners to the westerners. They succeeded for the time being until Easthaven launched a secondary offensive on the north requiring the northern commander to recall his troops to push back the attack, this demoralized the enemy westerners even more and they too soon surrendered.

The battle for the hieghts were divided by the northern heights and the souther heights.

Meanwhile, a small apolyton force tore down the hut, and surrounded the tunnel.

Field Marshall Easthaven then ordered the eastern forces to reinforce and attack the northern hieghts and he ordered the western forces to reinforce and attack the southern hieghts.

After a short hour of fighting the northern defenders surrendered.

Soon after that, the enemy southerners surrendered after losing nearly all of their men...90%.

The hieghts were fortified and Easthaven ascended. The Elite wolf soldiers were sent into the tunnel, here is where the fiercest fighting took place. The Wolf soldiers sent in recieved heavy casualties by well placed booby traps, but when the second wave of men, inluding Easthaven himself, was sent in the underground forces didn't have a chance. Some surrendered but the more obsessed council members refused and either commited suicide or was killed by wolf soldiers. A few tried to surrender but were killed anyways.

=========

Easthaven bursted into a small room, sword held high, suddenly a shot rang out.

He felt a hammer-like punch on his shoulder as blood gushed out and was pushed back by the force. But adrenaline was pumping and he regained his balance with the help of wolf soldiers behind him. He charged into the room towards the man who held the musket.

The man held up his musket in complete fear as he cried " I surrender, I surrender!"

His gut was slashed by Easthaven, the man keaved over. With a second stroke Easthaven beheaded him. He turned on the other rebel in the room who charged at him. Easthaven blocked a sword strike and tackled the man, using his own bigger body and taller stature to his advantage. Easthaven fell ontop of him, he couldn't get his sword up so he removed a dagger from his waist and began stabbing the man under him.

Another rebel jumped at him but was stopped by a sword thrusted through his back by a wolf soldier...

=========

The battle ended as a decisive victory for the Apolytonians. Prisoners were taken but the majority were killed.

Field Marshall Easthaven quickly sent a message to the Consuls informing them of the events, battles, and results.

[Lord Zalzabad]

Marshal Easthaven, I thank you for excepting my proposal, the first copy of the Apolyton Times will hit the streets shortly. I plan to support who ever is in power. Congradulations on your victory at Sanhopi Heights.

Drako Chuko, wealthy merchant, Editor of Apolyton Times

[Lord Zalzabad]

12 July 1402

Lev Chuko looked out over the city of Apolyton. In the distance there was a small riot against the Consuls. The organizers planned it to be larger, but few people turned up. Forces loyal to the consul were dispersing the riot. Lev shook his head, and wondered to himself, that the only reason that the consuls, that he hated so much, were in power was because of his foolish father, General Chuko. If he had not encited his rebellion, the evil marshals would have little power, and maybe the previous Moderator would still be in power.

He was just 14, but at that tender age, he still had alot of hatered for his sworn enemys, Easthaven, Thunderfire, and Jack. They were the ones who sent the unknowen agent in to kill his father. He was lucky his Uncle, Drako was looking after him. Drako did not know about Lev's vendetta, and cared for him like his own son. Lev turned and left the building. He had told noone of his plan, nor would hew ever. It would take many years to complete, but Lev was paitent. Revenge, thought Lev, would be sweet.

OOC: foolish_icarus, can continue using Roger Wilco for whatever your planning to do.... so yes, the Courier Service will help.

June 1402

Whilee helping Mrs. Loyaly in the field, taking out weeds and so on, Mellian sees the wolf soldiers passing by the Loyaly house and entering the Finnigans house. When she enquired with Mrs. Loyaly, she says they are the Finnigan kids, whom she babysitted a few times in the past. After deciding they are no threat, she move on with her work...


****************************

During dinner, Mr. Loyaly ask Mellian what she will be doing? She replied saying she isn't sure. The Consuls are very popular at the moment, among most of the populace. Latentus continues to get shot down by Easthaven everytime he tries shooting down the consuls, propaganda wise. The idea to try start up a rebellion or whatever is out of the question, as that would just face against what the current government does, force. And of course, will make her seem a hypocrite to easthaven and many other people. Joining in the propaganda war will not do much either. Supporting the Consuls and gradually work from within will not be really possible like before. Not sure what she'll do...

Roxy brought a few ideas in response to Mellian's opinion of the current propaganda war, sparking a new possibility as to what she and the republic movement can be doing. With the invent of the Printing Press, hey can further spread the republic ideals educating the people... a long as teaching the youth to read and right, as they are the future leaders. They can do so without needing to directly attack the Consuls with words... If they try shooting down the republic ideals, they would make themselves like they were shooting down liberty. eventually, the people will more and more take advantage of the Consuls "ask and you will get" type policy by demanding a republic government.

After talking about her ideas with the Loyalies, getting further more refine ideas and options, she says she needs to go to Vegeimon City...

[Easthaven I]

To Drako Chuko:
Apep I is in our custody. He is the traitor who started the plague that killed so many people. And as for his son who was believed to be spotted in the battle has still not been found. He must be hiding among the dead bodies or in some secret little compartment in the tunnels. He did not show himself much in the fighting. He must have figured it was a lost cause to fight so he hid.

[Easthaven I]

The Education ACT

Field Marshall Easthaven has ordered the mass production of Bibles, History books, language books, and dictionaries to be sold at the cheapest most affordable price to the general populace. Universities and schools already contain such books. These books are for the general populace to learn. Small offices will be built to teach any man or woman young and old to read and write. These are mainly for the people and children who can't leave their work or farms to attend a school, but all are welcome. These are gifts from the Consuls, we are here for the people.

=========

Letter to the People.
From Easthaven.

This is not another propaganda letter to defend our position. I am writing this to inform you of some events of late, for the people have a right to know certain happenings. Universities and schools are being open and all people are welcomed to enroll themselves, rich or poor, man or woman, young and old. And if you are not able to enroll yourself because of your duties then books are being distributed to you all and small offices are being created to teach the basics of reading and writing.

Also, there are a few organizations trying to topple the government and kill the current Consuls, we are glad the people do not take part of this and are thankful. We are trying to settle the matters.

The violent organization in which they keep trying to kill and cause riots...well...they call themselves The Council of APolyton, their leader Apep I and possibly Apep II. They are the ones who who tried to invade Apolyton, they are the ones who unleashed the plague of 1401 that killed so many. I am pleased to say we found their stronghold and we did battle, they were located on Sanhopi island and I led the attack myself. We were decisively victorious and were successful in apprehending Apep I. They fought like disorganized barbarians, much like they did the time they tried to invade Apolyton.

Also we have information that American spies have been mingling in our affiars, thinking they can do as they wish. Well we will not tolerate anymore of this. The spies must stop coming.

As you all probably know Mellian escaped from our custody. We wish no quarrel with her, a tour was even planned. We ask for her help in taking out the remnants of Apep's rebels.

Also, food is being distributed by wolf soldiers across the nation in a new Food For All ACT to keep the poor and homeless from starving, anybody in need of the food may take some. Keep your eyes open for these travelers.

I am sure that will conclude the update on events. If anybody needs aid in someway there is an office in your county solely for the purpose in helping.

In you service,
Consul Easthaven Beleriand I

[civman2000]

July 20th, 1402.
After many months of difficult work without any organization to help him, civman II has created a small web of anti-Apolytonian friends, which consists of around 20 Iroquois nobles; 3 important figures in the Iroquois government, including Chief Hiawatha's nephew; a few friends of his in France, America, England, and the Aztec Empire, most of them are nobles/aristocrats; and a small group of around 200 commoners and 4 nobles in Apolyton, most living in or near Hanmontrei. However, he still lacks the amount of power that would be needed to seize power in or invade Apolyton. Right now he is working with his Iroquois friends on a plot to try and kill off the few key members of the royal family needed for Hiawatha's neohew to become Chief.

[Mellian]

OOC: People, please avoid abusing your omnicients of the whole story, and base your story actions on that knowledge...which is pretty obvious lately. FOR THE STORY, NOT TO WIN OR FOR YOUR CHARACTER OR WHATEVER. thank you and have fun now

civman, Iroquois have an advance form of Tribal Confederacy, not a monarchy

mmtt, there already is a road network in Apolyton...unless it is just paving them? How would you know anyting about something called the CIA? Jack didn't have proof, bit silly to risk effecting relations over it.

[unscratchedfoot]

[Apep]

Apep II was aware that the fighting had stopped, he suspected the Counsel of Apolyton's forces would lose. The Council was apparently very pleased with him, or they were anyway.
A soldier stepped in,
"Hey, you're Apep II," he exclaimed and then he looked over Apep II's shoulder, "Holy ****"
For the councel's chamber was covered in blood and most members of the councel had multiple knife wounds. Apep II himself had three notable wounds and the councel's one guard lay dying in one corner.
"I guess you'll be arresting me, then?" asked Apep II.

[Easthaven I]

Sanhopi island (reply)

"I guess you'll be arresting me, then?" asked Apep II.

Field Marshall Easthaven entered the room as he heard Apep II's last statement. The General was covered in blood as usual, he had a big wad of cloth stuffed in a hole in his shoulder. He had a small slash wound in his thigh and a scratch above his right eye. His face was hard, still built on the rage when one gets when going through battle.

He halted to the side of the Wolf soldier. And answered the escapee.

"Yes."

Apep II was immediately shackled and in custody.

As Easthaven stepped aside to allow the soldiers to drag Apep II away, a council member from the floor stirred.

The soldiers halted and turned.

"Take him away, I said." The soldiers holding Apep dragged him out of the room and out the tunnel.

A few wolf soldiers stayed with Easthaven.

Field Marshall Easthaven walked over to the council member. The man was bleeding and wounded but his wounds were survivable. He raised his hand in resignation.

"I surrender Consul, I am a prisoner of war and should be treated as such, heal my wounds." The council member coughed up.

Field Marshall Easthaven kicked the man onto his back.

"You are a traitor." Easthaven answered as he turned to his gaurds. " sit him up in that chair over there." he pointed.

The man was sat up on a chair next to a table. He was hurting but the Wolf soldiers gave no heed.

Easthaven nodded at one of the soldiers. The soldier then walked over to the door and slammed it shut. No sounds would be heard above ground.

"Now, tell us everything you know about everything. Are there any other outfits? What do you know about the republican movement? What do you know about american involvement? What do you know about anything and everything? We are going to be here for a little while if you don't talk, so lets get to it, shall we?" The young General sat down as he gave the man his demands.

"Never, you fool!," the man spat at Easthaven's boots but it didn't quite reach, "You and your pathetic followers shall..."

Easthaven abruptly stood up knocking over his chair as he charged the seated man. He punched the man square in the nose, shattering it and causing it to gush out blood all over himself. Easthaven then unsheathed his sword and forced the man's hand on the table, the wolf soldiers helped in containing the man.

"For the action you just committed, you shall recieve the reaction." Easthaven then sliced the man's right fore finger off.

"AHHHHH! You bastard!." The man choked up.

"New action...new reaction." Easthaven sliced off the man's middle finger.

"AHHHH OK OK, JUST STOP IT!"

The council member hollered in pain and agony for the next minute then he slowly quited down.

"Now, if you keep choosing the bad actions you will continue to recieve bad reactions...are you willing to lose more extremities, traitor? I hope not for I got more pressing matters to deal with then to play games with a fool."

"You are the fool...." the man grumbled tiredly.

Easthaven then chopped off the thumb. Recieving another set of bloodcurdling screams was the result.

"We're going to be here for a while, council member. Better make yourself comfortable."....

=================


The gaurds stood outside the door Easthaven was in, waiting patiently for him to finish.

Finally, the door opened and out walked the General followed by two Wolf soldiers.

Behind them, left in the room, was a figure on the floor presumably an unrecognizable corpse lacking any sort of extremities including its legs and arms...and its head.

[Jack_www]

To Consul Easthaven and Thunderfire(secret):
When I arrived in America the officals there that greated me were kind and very nice. But we began to disscuss the matter at hand they denied that they had any CIA oppertives involved in any activeties that would under mind our government. I told them that we wanted any CIA opperatives in the country to leave right away, since we suspected them in the prison break of Mellian and ApepII. I also told them that I knew there were CIA opperatives in the country, that they came to help hunt down the traitor Liam Sheep spies. They said that they would look in to the matter. I also told them that if they did not cease these actives in Apolyton that it may lead to breaking of our Alliance with them and maybe even war. They said they did not wish to do anything to hurt the current realtions that they have with us. So I am hopefull that they will pull the CIA opperatives they have in our country soon, although they did not say this to me.

[Easthaven I]

To Consul Jack(secret)and Consul Thunderfire too of course:
I applaud you perseverence to get to the bottom of this and even taking it to American soil. I do hope they concede to your warnings and for Apolyton and American tranquility they withdraw. Either way we should keep an eye on all Americans in Apolyton. We must be intolerant of american spies on Apolyton soil.
