The New History - Chapter IV: Preparations for Battle.
While Medivh was searching for someone to save the world from a new Invasion, Armius and his men sighted. land!
"3 islands, heh?" - Armius was smiling for the first time during this trip - "We will land on the 1 with the big mountain range in the middle and a river. We will establish settlement there. Wait, give me binoculars!"
"Here" - dwarf gave him his binoculars.
"They look like Murlocs," - said Armius after looking at green figures in the river - "Only taller. Let's land and try to establish contact. If they attack, slaughter them all!"
Ship quietly approached the island, and was anchored in a bay. Humans, dwarves, and even 5 High Elves were on it, and soon, they finally felt ground under their feet.
Much of them stayed to establish camp, while Armius, 7 Human Footmen, 2 High Elven Priests and 3 Dwarwen Riflemen decided to establish contact with "Murlocs".
Near the river, they saw a group of the tall Murlocs. Some of them were riding giant turtles. Rest of them, with spears, knives, darts, javelins and some of them were obviously mages, chanting Water Elementals everywhere.
Armius tried to establish contact, but soon, a "Murloc" exclaimed something, and after Armius didn't answer, they suddenly begun firing, and dwarves retaliated. A battle has begun.
Water Elementals were everywhere, and Armius with 2 priests, 1 footman and 2 riflemen managed to retreat, while the rest of them died.
"Why did they attack?" - asked a red Dwarf when they returned.
"I don't know that, but I know that this is war!" - replied Armius.
The other day, near the mountain, a battle between Humans and Vodanians begun.
And it all was because that dwarwen decided to demonstrate their mortar, and found gold!
Armius and his men immediately established a new camp there, but after that, a small Vodanian detachment found out, and rushed back to report. Much of them were slaughtered by Armius' Knights, but one escaped by a waterfall. Armius immediately returned to his camp, and ordered barriers to be constructed. Dwarwen were to hide behind it, and then suddenly to pop up and fire at unsuspecting enemy.
Footmen and Knight were to suddenly strike from an ambush, while Priests and a small amount of footmen that were ordered to hold the enemy melee attacks, were to stay in camp with the Riflemen and peasants.
