Chapter 1: The Taking of Melior

Melior, Capital of Crimea. Start of the Mad King's War

The Daein army appeared outside the city of Melior with a besieging force of 500,000 elites along with its devastating siege equipments made by Soren himself who also planned a strategy for the invasion of Crimea. They neutralized Crimea from mobilizing their 35 feet devastating elephant-like creature called an Oliphant by using traps for every Crimean patrols without a single soldier to return to warn the country.

Daein wyvernmasters begins to assault the city with the steeds terrifying screech and the leadership of Ashnard and Soren who were flying their wyverns. Siege weapons that Soren created started to fire upon the capital. Crimea weren't aware of the attack as wyvern riders and griffon riders were the first to storm the capital. The people of Crimea flee and Crimean soldiers prepare for a counterattack with Lord Renning, the best warrior in Crimea, begin to rally the Crimean forces to defend against Daein. King Ramon order the people to flee.

Soren watches Crimea started to have their marksmen at the ready and shouted, "Move away from the city!"

Crimean marksmen begin to fire their arrows and the Daein aerial force spread out and fled back to the Daein army besieging Melior. The walls of Melior is starting to crumble with every hit it received from Daein siege weapons.

"Advance!" Ashnard shouted as he raised Gurgurant and waves of Daein forces walk with Crimean marksmen ran to the walls with their yew bows and silver arrows. Along with the Crimean marksmen, their soldiers, knights, and halberders went up to the walls with their spears readied to be thrown at their enemy.

Daein generals were on the front lines with their steel tower shields and silver lances. They continue to advance until the Crimean marksmen have fired their arrows.

Daein reacted by forming a testudo formation in order to block out arrows, but some arrows that Crimea shot pierce through the shields resulting slight casualties to them. Even with the testudo formation, they continue to move towards the walls.

Daein fired back with their snipers and crossbowmen and ladders were ordered to start attacking the wall. Each ladder carries a Daein Reaver on top as they are going to be raised up against the walls. Each Reaver wields steel or silver poleax and their steel helmets are covered in blood which have sent fear into their enemies hearts. The reavers barely wear any protection as their body armor is made out of leather.

As the ladders were scaled to the wall, the Reavers leap to the wall, forcing the Crimean marksmen to go melee with their swords along with the Crimean soldiers. The reavers start killing in frenzy as they buy time for the Daein force to climb up the ladders. Each swing is deadly and the strength of these reavers were tremendous as they could kill 3 in a swing.

"Their archers are dealt with!" Soren said as Crimea stop firing it's arrows.

"Then it's time for us to attack from the skies. You take your company and kill King Ramon while I deal with Renning," Ashnard said.

"Perhaps I should kill the princess as well," Soren replied before he signal Hurricane to fly up. He led a wave of wyvern and griffon riders above the city to attack the palace. The city of Melior is continuing to get smash by Soren's siege equipment.

As Soren approaches the palace, more Crimean marksmen were on the top of the palace.

'Crap! More of them!' Soren thought as they begin to fire at Soren and his company. Hurricane kept avoiding as many arrows as it can while Soren's company are getting thin.

"Fire! Prevent them from harming my family!" Soren saw King Ramon in his while full body armor and a silver sword in his hands. Ramon is an old man with dark green hair.

"Land down!" Soren shouted and he and his company flew down where company of Crimean halberdiers guarding the palace.

As they going to land, Hurricane grabs one halberdier in it's jaws and swing his tail to throw some away.

Soren dismounted Hurricane and drew his vague katti. He begins slashing his sword while his company has landed as well. They swing their axes and butchered the remaining Crimean halberdiers.

'Time to finished this.' Soren shot wind blades at the remaining halberdiers and then at the Crimean marksmen that were firing at them from above.

After the guards were killed, Soren shouted, "Men, break down the door!"

Two Daein dismounted riders ran at the door, hitting with their shoulders. It took three tries that the door was broken.

Soren and his company ran inside as the Crimean guards were running out from the stairway and drew their weapons.

A Crimean swordsmaster went to slash Soren across the head. Soren ducked and slash his sword across the swordsmaster's stomach.

Soren watches a Crimean knight coming at him with his lance forward. Soren defects the lance back and grabs the knight then electrocuted him with thunder.

After Daein have clear out of the guards that try to counter them, they ran up the stairs and break down the door to the throne room.

Soren saw King Ramon, his Queen, and the 2 elite guards of Crimea.

"King Ramon!" Soren shouted at the Crimean king who looks disgusted at Soren.

"You! How dare you treat me and my country like this?! I offered you land and mix our bloodlines but no, you wanted war." King Ramon sneered as he readied his weapon.

Soren shot fire at both of Ramon's guards. Ramon look at his guards then at Soren who was smirking behind his helmet.

Soren walk closer until he heard footsteps. Soren look back to see his father, the Great Riders, Wes, William, and others appeared in the throne room with Renning held by the back of the neck by a Daein reaver.

"Ashnard, you monster. Why would you attack us without any honor?" Ramon ask and demand an answer.

"Foolish king! I have a vision how the world shall be runned. Your lack of vision is the reason on why I would attack. If it weren't for my son, I wouldn't attack with 100% success." Ashnard said with a harsh tone as he walk forward.

Ramon growled at Ashnard and charge at him. Ashnard smirked and deliver a swing at Ramon's sword. The swing threw Ramon back in the air against his throne unconcious.

The queen of Crimea ran to her husband then look sadly at Ashnard, "Why? Have you no honor?"

Ashnard's smirk never left his face and swing his weapon across, killing both the King and Queen of Crimea.

Soren watch with no emotion and order some soldiers, "Raze this city to the ground and extermine the population. Every women and child shall be put to the sword; and buildngs shall crumble."

"Just the women and children died. The buildings will stay." Ashnard said and Soren nodded.

"Nooo!" Renning shouted and Soren look at Ashnard, "What about lord Renning?"

"Oh? He shall fight for Daein as Bertnam. Feed him the portion! And someone find the girl!" Ashnard ordered and Renning was pushed to the ground by 4 soldiers before Izuka came in. Izuka fed the portion to Renning and the portion have driven him mad.

Soren turned to avoid watching the rest as it was the same. He went outside and watch the fires spread. Women were being raped and killed and children were getting beatened to the ground. Blood has stain all over the city streets and buildings.
