The Romans groaned in pain, the wounded civilians and soldiers were patched up while the airships continue their path to the East. West paced back and forth, he was restless and angry "Attacked...Black Dogs, Enclave, Fiends...they took Neo Roma" Veronica held West's arm and spoke in a soft tone.
"West just relax okay?" She asks him, West was still angry but he manage to relax; The Roman-Shield Alliance had to retreat and Neo Roma had to set up a government in exile. One of the Centurion's looked at the compass, "If we keep moving in this direction we will make it to Constantinople"
Six sat on the medical bed while his head is bandaged up, he ached all over and he still felt restless. Volt and his new allies taken Neo Rome, however Volt is a fool to trust the Enclave, they weren't like Arcade or the Remnants...no they were the original Enclave.
"Sir Six please rest" Celestine tells him as she gently lay him down, Courier couldn't argue so he lay down then closed his eyes.
Celestine bite her lip then gently planted a kiss onto his lips, "Sleep well Sir Six" She went stepped out she noticed Arcade using a cloak to hide his Enclave jacket.
"Sir Gannon are you alright?" She asked, Arcade looked at the Elf "Y-Yes just a precaution"
Hours Later
A stone tower stood in the sea while a bridge connected it to a large city behind it, a lone guard held a rocket launcher and checked for any signs of an attack.
"τι είναι αυτό?" The guard spoke in Greek until he saw the tails beared the Roman symbol, lighting the beacon begain a chain reaction, other beacons begin to light up.
Meanwhile on the airship, Augustus watched the beacons ignite and he smiled to himself, they have made it; They have reached Constantinople.
The airships landed near the docks and the Roman-Shield Alliance departed. "Welcome αυτοκράτορας, αυτοκράτορας Ιουστινιανός has been notify of your arrival" One of the Guards said.
Augustus nodded and order his Legates to help the wounded and civilians while their Greek Brethren gave aid.
Constantinople was a beautiful place, many buildings made of marble, it was like Neo Rome's twin. The Shields and Mojave Warriors were amazed by the beauty of Constantinople.
The people had tan skin and their clothing were similar to the Romans, the people of Constantinople were surprised and happy to see their Roman brethren.
"This way" One of the escorts said leading the Alliance and Mojave Warriors to the palace, inside was beautiful.
The windows were mosaic and most of the mosaic had people holding crosses, "Ah yes the Byzantine Empire is Eastern Christian" Augustus said, inside of the throne room was a man a bit older then Augustus, his skin was tan and his hair was cut in a Roman style.
"Justinian" Augustus smiled, "My Caesar!" He says kneeling before him.
"My friend please rise up, treat me as you treat another Roman" Augustus told his most loyal friend.
"This is Justinian my second in command and ruler of the Eastern Neo Roman Empire or rather the Byzantine Empire" Augustus smiled.
"You must be the Seven Shields and the Mojave Warriors, it is an honor..I've heard Neo Roma has fallen I ensure we'll reclaim it and push the enemy back" Augustus nodded, "Yes however Black Dogs have made allies with the Enclave, Fiends and now Vulpes Inculta" Legate Málleus spoke.
"Vulpes...I feared as much...my forces are ready but we have an issue, the Black Dogs have reached Byzantine lands, Volt plans on recruiting Lizard Tribes but mostly to secure loyal from Queek Headtaker" Justinian said.
"Who is Queek?" Cass questioned, "He's a rat..literally a rat he's the leader of Clan Mors and the most dangerous Skavern, if Volt secures their loyalty the war will be more devastating" Justinian replied.
"Now come come you all must be hungry" Justinian lead them to the dinning room as dinner was prepare, "Please eat my allies, you need your strength if we are to battle our enemies"
"Justinian was my greatest ally when I took control of the Legion" Augustus says sipping some wine, "Constantinople is very beautiful Sir Justinian" Claudia says.
"Thank you Lady Levianthan" He smiles.
Six rubbed his aching head while he ate, Grace gently massage his head to which Six relaxed "Thank you Ms. Campbell"
The Alliance ate and drank to their full, soon they'll have to battle the Skaven and prevent Queek from joining the Four Horsemen Alliance.
I'm aware this chapter isn't long I am really tired and worked...Queek is from Total War: Warhammer and I'm using Skaven because I feel as if they fit here anyway next chapter is we'll look at the Neo Roman Resistance.
Soon in later chapters near the end, We are returning to the Mojave, anyway I need a nap guys see you in a bit.
