Swissy1 Turn Post #3

[St Jon]

The Holy English Empire has had accept the loss of the fair City of Stratford to the 'Heathen Nordic Barbarians' but as fair exchange is no robbery we salved the souls of it's inhabitants and took possession of Tampere.

The first real engagement of the Seige of Yattehyatteh took place with the opening bombardment from Army IV whilst Army XI finished it's deployment. Elite Holy Corps II are on hand as an active reserve whilst Armies VII and XV, released from frontline service against the 'Primitives', are joining Army III to form a second Army Group on the Brisbane Axis.

Do not despair Australians! Salvation and Civilisation will soon rescue you from the pit of despair you have wallowed in for so long. Yes, there is life after Lung and it will be so different that your tears will be of joy rather than from the pain of an evil master's whip!

HH Pope Jon, Holder of the Holy See.

[Lung]

You call them armies?!! In the Australian defence forces, we only call 9-stacks divisions! That way, we don't delude ourselves into thinking that we have fifteen armies when we don't

As for your crusade, hah! Your 'crusade' is nothing more than an army of pure evil! Evil, i tell you, EVIL!!! Our heroic soldiers of Yattehyatteh continue to defy the might of the evil English empire in this most bloody of wars.

Turn 180 to Matthew a couple of hours ago.

[St Jon]

The Seige of Yattehyatteh continues and the regretable loss of, Australian, life mounts. The campaign against the Norwegian Barbarians progresses with a steady advance up the Peninsula without opposition. Could it be that they have left home and left the back door unlocked?

Our fight for truth and justice is painful and faced with overwhelming odds against success but shall we prevail? Yes we shall!

Nothing can divert the sword thrust of truth and the hammer blow of freedom. England is the only hope and we have come to liberate you all!

[Lung]

The brave Australian soldiers continue to keep the demonic hordes of England at bay. The incredible resolve of the Australian troops has manifested itself in their remarkable healing powers, as they time and time again miraculously get up from their hospital beds to fight the evil English!

Australia has found a friend with a common foe, and Lung the Legendary is pleased to announce the (belated) alliance with Matthew of the Vikings Hooray for the alliance! Together the Australian and Viking empires will repel the English and send them back to under the English rocks to whence they belong!! News of the Viking capture of the English city of Stratford was greeted with joy in Australia, renewing calls for another counter-attack! Tired of fighting on Australian farms and cities and seeing the wasting of once fertile farmland, Australian soldiers wish to fight the English on their own soil! Together with the Vikings, we shall watch English lands burn under their own skies, reflecting the hell to whence they came!! The demons of the east shall suffer their own hell, as the forces of good turn the tides!

Australia continues to hold on to sovereign lands, and faith is building in rising up against the once seemingly invincible English! The illusion of invincibility is long gone, and Australia shall rise again!!!

Turn 181 to Matthew 10 hours ago.

[St Jon]

The 'Perfidious Lung' spreads yet more of his vile propaganda but the forces of right, truth and justice march ever onward!

How the Nordic Barbarians could have sided with a monster such as Lung will be forever a mystery to civilised man. Both have sunk to the depths by attempting to starve my citizens but they forget that the English possess that which they do not, Resolution!

The Siege of Yattehyatteh continues without any loss of human life, Australians yes but Human no, and the campaign against the Barbarians looks well set to yeild another City.

Whatever the odds England shall prevail!

[Meth0s]

Truth? Justice? Resolution?

What are these strange words the foreigners speak of.
We, the proud Vikings, or as the English put it, the Norwegian Barbarians, care not of truth or justice. We care only about the destruction of England.
Like we invaded Scotland and Ireland before you, we shall also invade England, and bring their foolish crown to the feet of Oden.
The Gods is on our side, and losses such as Tampere is of no importance...

Mathias of the Vikings.

[St Jon]

Turn 183 to Lung

At last the Barbarian Chieftan speaks! What does he say though, does he express contrition for his unprovoked attack upon England and beg forgiveness from the Civilised nation? NO!! With the dismissal of 'truth' and 'justice' the Nords become little better than 'Lungsters'! We shall see.

A very quiet Turn save for the ongoing seige of Yattehyatteh and arranging a suitable 'firework' display for our Australian visitors. The battle of Brisbane looks to be the key and we hope that the initial assault should commence in two Turns time.

Pope Jon

[St Jon]

Finally the seige of Yattehyatteh ends! Many English lives were lost but after repeated Artillery bombardment the doors were opened and the citizens released from their sufferring.

Street Parties were held and the people danced and sang as they worked. To see such joy brings tears to a man's eyes but the release from years of oppression just must make them mad with delight! 'Oh to be free from Lung' they cry.

Pope Jonus Pious,
Holy English Empire

[Lung]

Dancing in the streets??!! ! Is that what you call tortured souls dangling from the noose?!? The so-called "revenge" enacted upon the few surviving soldiers is an outrage to humanity! The war has been long and bloody, but the resistance offered to the English hordes was considerable, and the losses to the English were huge. At that rate of loss, there will be no English army left before it geets half way through the Australian cities!

Before this war is out, St. Jon the evil will be crying out for mercy!

[Meth0s]

A beg for Mercy?
A plea for peace?

Do we talk different languages you foolish Englishman? Are you an englishman lost in the forest?

I will never beg for mercy from you.
So, it might have been an unprovoked attack. It might have been the highest form of injustice.
What, do you cry? Do you run home to mommy and ask for help?
I do not talk with the twisted tongue of a diplomat. I speak straight with no knife in up my sleeve. You will die. Not because you deserve it, not because you have done everything wrong.

But, solely, because I want to see you dead.

Mathias of the Vikings.

[St Jon]

Worry not Chief Mathias for your time will come! When the nefarious 'Legendary' Dictator of Woy Woy has been despatched you will join the NA's upon the scrap heap of history.

It is England's sacred duty to rid the World of heathen barbarians and 'save' their people. We shall do this whether they desire it or not!

Pope Jon

[St Jon]

England rejoices at the news from the front! The populace gladly suffer the hardships to support our fighting corps knowing that even though we face peril upon every side we shall prevail. Despite the Nordic disdain for them, Truth, Justice and Freedom are the very lynchpins of English society and they shall trample underfoot any repressive and aggressive tyrant like the 'Lung the Loathsome'.

Certain 'dissident' citizens of Yattehyatteh had to be given the 'ultimate grace' as a token for our love for them despite their ingratitude for the pain we had to endure in order to 'save' them. Hopefully this was a one-off and will not need to be repeated.

Pope Jonus Pious
Holy English Empire.

[Meth0s]

It takes a strong man to speak the truth and take responsibility for his actions.

The weak, the slaves of our world, hide behind morality and religious scripture.
Afraid to be their own man, they throw "holy" books in the heads of the enemy,
I DO THIS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!!!, or at least that is what they say.

They speak with a split tongue, and they are too afraid to do something about it.

So, my friends, do not listen to the English and their "holy pope" Jon. Only lies comes out, even though they are very convinced it is truth. Do not blame the weak for their belief in illusions.

Mathias of the Vikings.

[St Jon]

The English Army grows yet stronger and more resolute in their fight for Justice. Whatever the Northern Barbarians may claim we are right for in Justice there is Truth! We will not be diverted by their petty jibes and continue in our search for more of the sad misguided followers of the 'Legendarily' Vile Lung to save!

Pope Jonus Pious,
Holy English Empire.

[Lung]

Our spies in England speak of yet more lies spoken by their insane leader, St. Jon . The only way the evil Englsih can convert our people is under threat of death and torture! Such grandiose claims by the insane one, where such little has been gained by the English jackboots! St. Jon's overconfidence will be his ultimate downfall!
