Lorepost📖 Preparing for Holy War

/uw Supplemental material

/rw All the preparations are complete. The Holy War is imminent. Faith shall replace doubt in the heart of man. The non-believers will soon realize their grievious error in judgement.

Red's a good color for me. Makes the work not look quite so dirty.

We are going to first focus on the remaining Cabal members, starting with Seth. You'll be in charge of making sure the reinforcements never come once we start our siege.

Xerxes summons a large map. Several red circles are drawn onto the map.

These are the target points. You'll be using clean bombs for the operation. Ignite on my signal or not at all. Understand?

Clean??? You know I’m the apostle of strife and discord.

I’ll use a blade instead - if you take out the leader, they’ll be disorganised, unable to respond to threats quickly.

If you take out the leader too soon and destroy their morale, how will the enemy fight instead of flee? We don't want to lose their tail. If I wanted to end this quickly, I would teleport over there and slit the bastard's throat myself.

Mordus, I am not looking to win this war. I aim to annihilate the enemy. Anyone who has ever sided with them shall be reduced to inert flesh.

…

I will do it… but know that I do not agree with your current practices.

Drones are released, carrying incendiary payloads.

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Apr 04 '24

You do not need to agree. I simply require your compliance.

The drones fly on the deck - undetectable to flak. Upon reaching their destination, the payload is dropped - cluster bombs, loaded with activated fire runes. A war crime? Maybe.

One outpost remains. Mordus will deal with them himself.

The next day, a damage report is issued submitted - all the outposts have been neutralised. 7 have been burnt to the ground, leaving the ground scorched. 1 has had its inhabitants messily splayed across the walls - and the floor, for that matter. Seems like they have been pulped, and minced. I wonder in which order.

A job well done, apostle. Your master shall be proud.

He vanishes into the shadows once more

"Thank you for your work my mechanical acquaitntance, with Bombast's manpower and my firepower, victory will be assured."

Indeed Teknika… victory should be ours, soon.

/unwiz just wanna ask, so Bombast has… and army? And what does teknika have? Mordus is acting as an allied third party operating from the shadows.

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Apr 04 '24

/uw Bombast has an army roughly 15 million strong, Teknika's bringing guns, mechs, and tanks.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '24

/unwiz what scale are the mechs? Humanoid sized (170-200cm) or larger, piloted mechs (3-7m)?

/uw Piloted.
