The War of Robloxia

by ParagonTillDeath

The world of Robloxia is swept up in a vicious war, created by hate between the four nations. Redcliff, Korblox, Overseer and the Nomads must try to end this seemingly endless war. There will be sacrifices along the way, but they can do it. Will this war ever end? (Thank Exodha Cody for making the game this is based off of, "Medieval Warfare Reforged". This game is on Roblox.)

Redcliff POV

"KING HARLEY! KING HARLEY! THE NOMAD AND OVERSEER KINGDOMS MARCH ON US AS WE SPEAK! THEY WILL REACH THE KEEPS IN ONLY A FEW WEEKS!"

crap baskets, I thought, they're at it again. "Thank you. Dismissed."

I thought about what to do now, and the current course of action seemed clear; Redcliff and Korblox had only a few options, and they all seemed to end in disaster. Attack, and we risk our hold on the keeps. Do nothing, and we lose our hold on the keeps. React with passive aggression, and we risk our hold on the keeps. Defending the keeps with everything we have and hope for the best means that whiler we risk our hold on the keeps, they risk their only chance to charge at us with a full-frontal assault. As stupid, vengeful, and desperate King Brody Horsfall of the Nomads and King Virgilio Rojo of Overseer can be, the chances of said full-frontal assault actually being at full throttle will decrease once they see that all of our troops are there, as they'll realize that we're serious about holding the outpost.

So, I called in a few messengers and sent them to various locations, spanning the length of Rendona, the continent that Redcliff and Korblox are on.

(At this time, the leaders of the border cities of Redcliff(Amero) and Korblox(Wudo) which are closest to the 4 keeps of the outpost, and their respective kings and advisors have all gathered)

"… So I have explained the situation. Now I can explain the options. With the reported size of this attack, all have a chance of defeat. Some have great chances of defeat. One has a guaranteed chance of defeat. That is not acting. The other option involves attacking Overseer and the Nomads directly. Our only other option is just to defend the keeps with everything we've got."

"Dear God", said King Ah Wang of Korblox, " I vote to defend."

"Same", replied Chancellor Ju Chow of Wudo.

"Me as well," replied Chancellor Dextor Rogers of Amero.

So it's unanimous, I thought.

(At this time, the Rendonan ships have made it to the harbor of the East and South keeps which are protected by what is affectionally called the Iron Wall. Fun Fact: This is the closest spot you can get to the mainlands, which are all also protected by a wall called the Last Bastion.)

"Engineers," I ordered, "we need to fortify the outpost. Create traps, make the walls bigger, do anything that can help with stopping the Nomad and Overseer armies." They got on it.

(At this time, the fortifications are finished. This paragraph will cover the end result.)

The first thing the enemy armies would need to cross is the Spike Alley, a row of spikes that is as long as the 50 foot(15 meters) wall of the Outpost and 20 feet(6 meters) wide. These spikes aren't strong enough to kill but can break up enemy forces faster than a jet could travel a foot. Also, they do hurt quite a bit. It is nearly impossible for Cavaliers and mounted archers to traverse this area, due to the sheer effectiveness and height of the spikes.

After passing through Spike Alley, the soldiers are greeted to an inferno of flames waiting to be unleashed. Really no explanation. It's very similar to the spike alley, but only 2 yards(2 meters) wide. We don't want to burn down the Outpost.

Finally, there is an artificial version of quicksand designed to slow opponents down, because that layer spans the last 20 feet between the inferno and the walls of the Outpost.

The Outpost Itself is just a souped up version of itself, equipped with more turrets and battlements. But it becomes a slaughterhouse when you add the Inferno AND the quicksand.

(At this time, Overseer and Nomads have arrived at the West and North Keeps of the outpost)

"KING HARLEY! OVERSEER AND NOMADS HAVE REACHED THEIR OUTPOSTS! WE HAVE ONE HOUR TO GET READY!"

And so it begins, I thought. "Ah, get the Korbloxian mages and archers into position. I'll do the same.

One hour later…

When I saw Kings Horsfall and Rojo, Me and Ah, instantly commanded all of our archers and mages to fire 5 volleys in quick succession. Unfortunately, both kings had barriers. The petrifying arrows still hit–– and froze–– several soldiers.

"Leave now," I speak my demands to Horsfall and Rojo, "Else this battle be our victory. When you lose, your kingdom will follow, and we will capture you two and sell you as slaves."

"NO! WE WILL NOT QUIT"

Have it your way. I jumped off the platform and readied my sword. Our blades were about to match when…

"WAKE UP!"
