1. If we were to expose the attitude Lileath has towards Bretonnians (and probably humans in general), would the Fey Enchantress and the Damsles along with the Grail Knights turn on Her? Or at least make it easier to convert them.
2. I read a lot of statements saying that the Empire is the strongest human nation and Bretonnia the second. Is it just boasting or are they really stronger than Cathay? I don't count Nippon or Ind because both of them are fragmented (especially so in Inds case), the former is based on Sengoku Era Japan while the latter on India.

1. They would not immediately believe your word but if you showed physical proof there would be cracks on their faith, so it would be easier to reruit them.
2. Not-China is the strongest nation of the old world, the boasting of both the Empire and Bretonnia is just that, boasting and the fact that both nations do not have much contact with cathay although they know they exist but don't know their level of strength so they believe Cathay is weaker than then by a significant margin.

The Fall of Bretonnia - Part 8
  • Threadmarks
    • [X] Necromancer Reinforcements
    -[X] Have 40 of the necromancers we left at Mousilion be brought to support the main army. Speed this up by using dragons to transport them.
    -[X] Raise The Dead: All dukedoms are pla
    ces where many battles were fought having so hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of known and unknown places where the dead were buried. Raises unknown amount of undead
    -[X] Garrison The New Territory: Putting a garrison on your new territory is a wise decision. (Write-In Amount)
    --[X] Couronne with 150,000 skeletons, 150,000 zombies, 100 fire dragons, 100 storm dragons, 1 Great Storm Dragon, 10,000 grave guard, 10,000 black knights, and 10 necromancers
    -[X] Next Target? (You Can Split Your Forces If You Want To)
    --[X] Montfort: Like its name would suggest a great part of the duchy is centered around the grey mountains, and what little fertile land it has been devoted to agriculture, it is constantly being attacked by orcs. Have Bahumut lead 1/2 of our forces there.
    --[X] Bastonne: The dukedom where many a slayer of dragons came from, divided between the lands which are devoted between farms and pastures, it is said that Gilles Le Breton, the first of the kings of Bretonnia, was born and raised here.


    The next day began with a fly of dragons moving towards Mousilion and bringing the forty of the necromancers stationed there, as they made the trip towards the location their father was raising the titanic amount of dead and adding it to his armies, bolstering them by another tens of millions. His champion Bahamut was always at his side.

    After the necromancers arrived he assigned ten of them along with hundreds of dragons and thousands of undead to protect the new province added to his territory. Then he gave his new champion ½ of his total forces and ordered him to march towards the dukedom of Montfort and take it in his name.

    The rest would march with him towards Bastonne where many a slayer of dragons came from, and where many ancient grudges would be settled by the blood of their killers. Marching towards their respective targets only took a couple of days before they reached the border and their respective commanders started making a plan of attack after gathering information about the situation of the dukedoms.

    Montfort is having several orc raiders that are plundering the riches of the dukedom, worse they seem to only be targeting the farmlands of the dukedom and while they have plenty of food stored they will likely start to starve, the fact that the nobles are taking the food away from the peasants does not make matters good for the peasant population as well, they will likely be the first to suffer the feelings of starvation.

    The situation of Bastonne was pretty much the same, and different at the same time. It wasn't Orcs that were raiding but Beastmen who somehow managed to enter the dukedom without anyone noticing it, there was also an unusual amount of Grail Knights, and what has been classified as Grail Mages, in the capital of the dukedom looking like they were protecting something in it, but the agents inside did not know what or possibly who they were protecting.

    • The dragon lords and Dracul will need to deal with the grail forces I suggest using wind of death and time warp to help deal with them the dragons can do a run by of the beastmen and orc forces after that focus on the knights.
     
    [X] Plan: Undead horde
    -[x] Cast Call of Vanhel on our undead forces before the battle and cast Birona's timewarp on our dragons and Dragon knights.
    -[x]Demand their surrender.
    -[x]Have our undead forces and dark beasts charge. Have our dragons and flying beasts provide air support.
    -[x] Have us cast Hands of Karkoa on the grail mages and then curse of ages on the rest of their army.
    -[x] After having cast those spells have us personally try to find what all the grail mages and grail knights are trying to protect in the capital.
    -[x] Have our dragon knights take 30 great storm dragons, 30 doom fire dragons, 500 fire dragons, and 500 storm dragons to deal with all the grail knights and any grail mage stragglers.
    -[x] After the battle is over provide healing to those who surrendered.
    -[x] Have Bahumut follow basically the same plan as ours where he is able to.

    I'm honestly surprised we were even asked to make a plan for Montfort since it's an army of over 50 million vs 16,000 people without any special forces.

    I have to ask. Is english not your first language or are you using Autocorrect? Because this is a funny word creation. Maybe a mix of stored and raided? Could be possible. :D

    I think a 'flight of Dragons' would be better here.

    Letting 'Bahamut' take Bastonne would have been pure Irony. The young Giles le Breton was the Killer of the Dragon Smeagus (not to be confused with Smaug from the Hobbit. Not at all. Or Smeagol the Hobbit. The Skin of Smeagus is still worn by the Dukes of Bastonne), back before he met the Lady and got his band of merry murderhobos Shonen Protagonists Grail Companions together to found Bretonnia.
