RULE BRITANNIA! PT.3

The British Offensives continues on, crushing any and all who stand in their way. Bomber aircraft and artillery bomb military fortifications and formations. Armored cars flank and decimate groups of Saderan soldiers with machine gun fire. And cavalry is sent to cut down fleeing Saderan soldiers, with infantry closely following behind to mop the mess the others have made.

Semi-automatic rifles, grenades (both rifle grenades and hand grenades), mortars, and light machine guns, meant that the average British infantry soldier had more firepower than ever before.

And advancements in aircraft and anti-aircraft technology, made sure that any Saderan dragon, will be shot down in great succession.

For seven days, the BEF fought the Saderan Army, and for seven days, the BEF found that it to be a walk in the park, with the Saderan soldiers either fleeing or surrendering, or being blown to smithereens.

The BEF used a doctrine that was basically a proto-combined-arms doctrine, using aircraft, artillery, armored vehicles, cavalry, and infantry, and working together to overwhelm the enemy.

Sadera's southern vassal states, with the assistance of the BDEF, became independent nations, ally themselves with the British, and they declare war on the Saderan Empire. This enrage the Saderans, but they're getting repeatedly gut-punched by the BEF, so they can't do anything.

Oh, the flame dragons was also killed during this time. The British did this, by locating their sleeping ground, sending Royal Engineers with a shit ton of explosive, carefully setting them up while not disturbing the dragons, GTFO of there, and blow the sleeping ground till kingdom comes. There was nothing left of the dragons.

The Hayo Tribe, who prides themselves as being cunning and shrewd, but in reality, stupid and short-sighted, was destroyed, being destroyed in the Second Battle of Italica, as they tried to attack it, only to be met with artillery and machine gun fire.

The Dars were also destroyed in a similar manner, but with some success, duping and killing a few more British and British Dominion soldiers, before being defeated and executed as spies, due to their ability to change their physical appearance.

But Goblins, Orcs, and Trolls were driven to extinction, exterminated. This is… one of the darker and more controversial parts of the British-Saderan War that history revisionist bring out, with the most prominent being Patrick Hamilton and his book, The Secret Genocide of Falmart.

The British often conducted such massacres against those races, and even her Falmartian allies were guilty.

But other apologist historians claims that the British had no choice and justified in the matter, as the Goblins, Orcs and Troll's way of life was seen as vile and unforgivable (to reproduce more, they have to rape women, human or demi-human), and they cannot become peaceful, as their way of life revolves around violence and thus, cannot be redeemed in any shape or form, even if the British tried their best.

Some people or idiots I will call them, even claimed that the genocide is a lie that it was made up by anti-British propagandists. And everyone obviously knows, that you can't have an empire, without massacring some troubling natives along the way.

Before the war, there was over 1,500,000 Orcs, Troll and Goblins. By the early 1920s, there were less than 20,000, with the number dwindling ever faster by the year. By late 1930s, the last of their respective races had died out, and their races are tossed into the dustbin of history.

With the BEF at their doors, the pro-peace faction ramped up their platform for peace, but the ruling government and pro-war faction blocked their entrance to the senate and they began to purge 'traitors' within the empire. Prince Diabo's last journal entrances, describes Sadera's government being run by 'a gang of out-of-touch lunatics', and that any other option than resisting the British, is thought to be high treason, and that something has to be done, before the British come and destroy the empire. He began to secretly correspond with pro-peace members.
Anyway, the battle of Sadera began, being bitterly fought, wall by wall. Building by building. Room by room. But the Saderans was losing more men than they can replace in the fighting, while the British are strengthening by the day. At the end of the battle, with the British flag being raised atop both the Imperial Saderan Senate, and the Imperial Saderan Palace. As the flag of the Old Country was raises, soldiers cheers, that the war has mostly won. And the Saderan soldiers, surrendered, realizing the game's up, and knowing that being a prisoner is better than being dead.

Diabo was later found killed, with a sword prominently sticking into his back. He was most likely killed by his family members. But we'll never know.

When it was apparent that Sadera was lost, Molt and Zoral panned to escape the city. They could have gone undetected, but they're spotted by British planes, and the British aren't most certainly going to let them get away from their grip. The British sent armored cars and cavalry to dissuade them of such notions.

When they finally caught up with them, they came down upon like a storm, killing any armed Saderan escorts that resist the British. Zoral tried to resist the British soldiers, attacking a British officer, only to be rewarded with the butt-end of a rifle.

The officer said to Zoral: 'Zoral el Caesar, you're under arrest for attempted assault of an officer, and crimes committed against the British Empire and her people.' Before tying him up.

In one of the Saderan carts, the British soldiers found surviving British citizens and Falmartians alike, all of whom are females. They belong to Zoral el Caesar, as to be used sex slave, to be raped for his wicked desires. What really angered the British, was there were prepubescent girls, the oldest being 11 years old, and the youngest of them, a British girl known as Elizabeth, being a youthful 10 years old.

The use of women, even young girls, as sex slaves, infuriated the British, who escorted the former Saderan Emperor, Crown Prince, the POWs, and the rescued citizens back to Alnus hill, but not before the soldiers give Zoral a justly beating or two.

By this point, with Sadera's rulers in the enemy's hands, Diabo being murdered by his own family, Pina most likely dead and fear that Sadera will lose more if they continue to resist, the Ibis branch of the royal el Caesar family tree, (which is known to have famous thinkers, writers and politicians), along with pro-peace proponents in the government and military, overthrew the pro-war government and the Taurus branch (the main branch of the el Caesar tree). And soon asked for peace terms with the British. And their respective representatives met and on August 12th, 1913, the war was officially over.

It was over, the war was won. Millions of pounds, and hundreds of lives lost (the official British body count was 10,000, a low body count considering that hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Britain and the Empire, had been mobilized during the war. The Saderans, untold millions, but to be estimated to 3-4 million). It was near flawless victory.

Now it's time for the peace, but first thing first, justice must be delivered swiftly. Molt and Zoral was languishing at Alnus hill for a bit, before they were taken back to London. Molt and Zoral was transported to the court, under careful guard, to avoid them from getting killed, either by their own hands or face the righteous wrath of a furious British mob (even more angry when they found out of Zoral's depraved sexual appetite for young prepubescent girls).

The British government began to prepare a case and trial against the Zoral and Molt, as to show the worlds, that no man is above the law and justice always prevail over evil. The problem was, that there was no way in hell that a British or British dominion lawyer will come to their defense, so this forced the British government to outsourced the defense lawyer that has a good understanding of British law. But they found in an Irish lawyer Ossian Callaghan.

In a specially modified courthouse (to prevent assassination or lynching of the defendants) and the trial against Zoral and Molt began on the 15th of August, the world was watching, as the greatest trial of the century, began. Callaghan tried to build a defense case for both Molt and Zoral, but alas! They're stubborn and stiff-necked. He can only build a case made from grains of sand and salt.

The persecutors conjured up well-documented evidence, that Molt did order his soldiers to adopt a scorched earth policy, and do what they pleased to the people of Falmart, even their own citizens, and that Zoral did indeed rape British civilians, and commit crimes so horrific, that it can't be justified. For the prosecutors, it was basically seal clubbing, and nothing did go wrong in the persecution's case.

Molt and Zoral were instantly vilified, villainized and everything in between by the British press, being named as some of the most evil men in history (With Hitler or Stalin coming along later on). Callaghan is not attacked, as he was forced to do the damn job, not like he want to defend a mass murder and a rapist.

The British sentence Molt and Zoral the death sentence. On their day that they were sentenced, Zoral arrogantly declare that he can't be convicted, as the British cannot prosecute him, as he's demi-god. His God complex, his narcissism, his superiority complex, and now, his insanity all made him into the most-hated man in Britain and the world, for who will go to stoop so low to rape young girls? Who will go to stoop so low to use tied prisoners, as one use a training dummy for sword practice? And who will go to stoop so low to plan the destruction of their entire nation?

And his comments made him even more hate by everyone. The presiding judge later on when reflecting on that trial, said that he want to strangle that arrogant bastard right then and there. After that practically every man, woman, and child in the Empire, wanted to see his small-brained head on pike.

When Zoral and Molt were executed on 1st of October, 1913. Due to several uh, mishaps in executing Zoral and Molt's death sentence, for half-an-hour they was slowly strangled to death, while they pathetically flaying about. No one… really care how they died, just that both gets what they deserved. And when the bastards had finally died, their remains were destroyed by fire, and scattered by the four winds and the seas.

Then came trials of important Saderan government and military figures lasting into mid-1914. Important Saderans that were main proponents were either executed or sentenced from twenty years to life. Their only defense that they were 'following orders', but it was countered by the public fact that Count Formal, orders his soldiers, not to involve themselves in the same depravity, as their Saderan counterpart, and that the Saderan's actions should be universally seen as immoral, and that the Saderans were using their initiative, so the defense made by 'just following orders', mute and redundant.

Pina was also on trial, but since there was little evidence of her wrongdoings, she was acquitted, and she lived in a well-off estate, away from the spotlight. She died in 1971.

After Zoral and Molt's execution, the British, their Falmartian allies, and the Saderan Empire signed the treaty of Italica, with the British goal being to make Britain the main hegemonic power in Falmart, strengthen its allies, and to weaken Sadera, but not to the point it will fall into anarchy and banditry.

What was produced was nearly similar to the Versailles treaty that will come in 1917, as in the treaty, the Saderan Empire was reduced to a Kingdom, it Emperor reduced to a King, loss of territory to Britain and her Falmartian allies, reduced army size, pay reparations for the damages caused, and was forced to accept blame for starting the war.

With the treaty being enforced, the Kingdom of Sadera, and King Junius of the Ibis branch, turn to rebuilding and modernizing his nation. He has handicapped, as Sadera's treasury was emptied due to reparations, and the Royal family was mistrusted by Sadera's common citizens, due to the scorched earth policy of Molt. And due to the scorched earth policy, Sadera had to start everything from scratch.

As soon as the ink has dried, colonization began almost immediately, with thousands of hectares of uncultivated, untainted lands owned by the Imperial Saderan Royal Family, being stripped from them by the treaty, awarded to British citizens and Falmartians, with a low rent charge for the both of them over a certain period of time. And British scientific and technological organizations helped Falmartians, teaching them about modern farming methods (as of 1913), and how to be more efficient, grow more crops for less effort.

This made the British very popular with the Falmartians, as Falmartian families are given up to thirty hectares of land, who previously have little processions that they own, making them grateful, and improve the British's standing in Falmart, as they're will to pour resources into improving their livelihoods, unlike some other Empire.

The British were surprised that despite having a climate similar to southern Italy, they can grow not only the staple crops for that climate, but also coffee, tea (British – YES!), and other tropical fruits and vegetables. The baffled scientists' reactions can be summed as: 'the magic's all around me!' [Quickly screaming their heads off].

British industries also comes to Falmart, setting up and exploiting resources in the British-controlled or their allies' territories, and such, creating goods that would have taken longer if using Falmart's production methods. The British made sure that these industries are doing according to British regulations, so no underpay or dangerous working conditions.

And the British's allies also benefited from this as well, as their nations repaired and modernized under the British's careful guidance, with their military being a combined 200,000 strong army. (Of course, the British don't give the best equipment to the Falmartians yet).

Along with colonization and industrialization, there was another factor that surprisingly, affected Falmart deeply. Christianity, or specifically, the Anglican variant. Now, before you readers get angry or anything like that, hear me out. I'm not saying that Christianity is superior to everything else. Anyways, as thousands of Falmartians turn to Britain's official religion, as…

Unknown: DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!

Author: Oh shit, it's the fucking Meme Crusaders! [The Meme Crusaders are at the door] Deadpool! Do something!

[Deadpool is holding back the door, the Meme Crusaders trying to break through]

Meme Crusaders: DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!

Author: What are you doing? Aren't you doing something?!

Deadpool: I AM DOING SOMETHING!

[Both the Author and Deadpool scream loudly, cuts to a screen stating: We're experiencing Technical Difficulties - Please Stand By, complete with music. Then it cuts back to the Author and Deadpool, each holding weapons of various kinds.]

Author: Let's hope we don't need to do that again, Deadpool.

Deadpool: Yeah, that was madness.

[The Author and Deadpool are looking around the dead meme Crusaders. The Author slouches onto a couch.]

Author: Never again!

Anyway, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, as the Christian religion was something different, as it calls on forgiveness, peace and tolerance of other people. (This is not religious propaganda, I swear). Luckily the Falmartian branch of the Anglican Church was led by Bishop Jonathan Pipes, a quite liberal religious figure, who help drive these points home. Falmart's own religion is, in a way, flawed, as their gods don't really care about the wellbeing of people (At least, not the ones who are their respective followers).

Of course, the Falmartian gods were not amused, and certainly not Hardy that some religion about a homeless mortal (In her eyes) was going to supersede her, so she called on her followers to kill all heretics, including followers of other Falmartian religions. However, every other Falmartian god wasn't amused by this, and they ordered their followers to kill the followers of Hardy. Than the British steps in, and told both sides that not going to kill the other for being heretics.

That was the case until it was discovered that followers of Hardy attacked and killed British sailors and soldiers, and mutilated their bodies. They declare a holy war against the British, their allies, and all heretics. Basically everyone that wasn't a follower of Hardy. But like the Saderans, they seriously underestimate the British, and their willingness to use brutality. Especially when they found out that bitch opened the GATE in the first place. Rory also tagged along, as she has a grudge to settle with Hardy.

I would admit it, it was brutal. Religious temples dedicated to Hardy were destroyed. Books about the worship of Hardy were burnt. And followers of Hardy, were either shot or imprisoned, and Hardy basically unexist as an official god. The other gods were shocked and frightened, that mortals, managed to destroy Hardy, and basically stayed the fuck out of the way.

Anyways, the mere existence of Demi-humans, is enough the cause fits for scientific, medical, religious institutions across the world. We realized, that we're not just the only race that are intelligent life capable of achieving great things. Than goddamn politics comes in.

Now the question is this for the British, should demi-humans in the British Falmart territories, be given the same rights as ones that are human? This was a long debated question, but in the end, the answer was yes, they should be given the same equal rights as any other British citizens. But not without opposition.

Both Emperor Zoral and Crown Prince Zoral, will be forever despised by pretty much everyone, for the cause much destruction to both sides. Only the Saderan Nationalist Party, or abbreviated SNP (An extreme right-wing, nationalist, racist and terrorist political party, similar in vein to the infamous Croatian Ustashe), founded in 1915, having a positive image of them, said that the story of Zoral having British sex slaves or Molt ordering scorched earth policy are made up by British and traitors, in order to vilify their rightful appointed leaders.

But that's utter rubbish, as the British has overwhelming evidence from both sides of Zoral and Molt's guilt, so only the ignorant and stupid would believe such idiotic notions. And the SNP is outlawed, due to several terrorist attacks on the British, and their Falmartian allies in the 1920s (they and remainder of Hardy's followers, tried to collaborate with the Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, however it was discovered by MI6, resulting in severe British crackdowns).

The troops used to deal with these people, was the Scots Guards, because when SNP and Hardy militiamen hears the music of the bagpipes, their hearts become like water, and they scatter, because you know what's scarier than a drunk, angry Scotsman? A drunk, angry, cross-dressing Scotsman, wielding a bagpipe as a weapon of course.

The SNP in British-controlled Falmart are still around unfortunately, but their numbers were dwindling, due to members being disillusioned, British police and military raids, causalities from terror mission gone wrong, etc.

As one Falmartian said it best: 'They're [The SNP] just a bunch of inbred nobles, who was born with a golden spoon and never fought a battle in their life.'

Though in British Falmart they're near dead, it was a different story in Sadera. They gain strength after strength, attacking disloyal demi-humans and pushing the idea of superiority of the Saderan human over the demi-humans and British. The British did nothing, as it's the Saderan government's concern, not the British.

As foreigners come in through earth, they were shocked at the size of Falmart, being that of being Eurasia. Everyone realized, that this made Britain a powerful ally, but a dangerous enemy as well. So pissing off the British, is not the best course of action.

Anyways, with most of Earth and Falmart's resources, Britain is the strongest powers in the world. Ireland was (reluctantly) given dominion status in late 1913, slowly leading it to the Imperial Federation in the early 1930s. Britain fought in the First World War, with the knowhow on how large modern warfare had become.

Many military officers that fought in the British-Saderan War, rose to fame and glory in the Great War (John Monash and Arthur Currie being the few examples), using the experience of British-Saderan War to officially adopt a doctrine of combined arms, using aircraft, artillery, armored vehicles (tank seeing combat in 1915), and infantry, working together to break the enemy defense, with the fields of Falmart being the testing grounds of the predecessor doctrine.

In the Second World War, the Axis Powers (Mainly consisting of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Militaristic Japan, and Nationalist Sadera) go up against the Allies (Mainly consisting of the Imperial Federation, United States, France, China and reluctantly, the Soviet Union).

The Axis powers were overwhelmed by the righteous fury of the Allies, and was destroyed, with the full horror of their regime shown to the shock of civilized world. Sadera has become a monarchy again, with the SNP and its wartime leader, Cassius Sacarii, being vilified along with Hitler, with his mass murder of anyone that's not human or Saderan. And by 1955, Great Britain, along with the United States (Though the ever-antagonistic Soviet Union, will say otherwise) was considered a global superpower, having the largest and most advanced militaries and economies.

And what about our friends? What happened to them?

Harold Alexander had served in the British Army till 1946, having achieve the rank of Field Marshall, being a likeable, competent general officer with a much needed streak of ruthlessness, fighting from the first Battle of Alnus Hill, to commanding the entire British forces in Falmart. Currently, he's the Governor-General of Falmart, going back to do the ceremonial duties that was bestowed onto a representative of the British monarch. He was also named Earl Alexander of British Falmart.

Leiei studied both magic and medical science, becoming the first Falmartian doctor that's graduated from a British medical school. She uses her magical and medical training to help terminally ill patients, and some of her innovations, have saved thousands of lives. She's director of one of British Falmart's renowned hospital, and is married with three children, all of whom, following in their parent's footsteps as being mage-doctors, and making lives easier and better for the suffering.

Tuka managed to overcome most of grief, having seen the evidence of the Flame Dragons' death, she felt at peace with herself, and was eternally grateful for those who braved a gruesome death, in order to end the tyranny of nature. Due to her experience in playing the Lyre instrument, she became a Lyre musician, enchanting many audience with her songs both from Falmart and her own original musical compositions. And whenever she can, she donates the money and time to help British soldiers, as such, she was very popular with soldiers, and her music is even used to help aid soldiers suffering from PTSD.

And Rory? Well, she has become a god, having ascendant in 1951, being one of the more popular Falmartian Gods, because she actually care Falmartians, unlike some gods. And still annoying to no end, Harold, with her advances towards him, often with no success.

Hello again, going to work on the next chapter (GATE/Empire of the Hand).
