"Alert the crew and compliment, we make way for war." I tell my staff as I tighten my grip on the wheel. Letting the magic link in my left-hand throb as I felt the airship's excitement. She was eager to prove herself once again against the ancient fortresses of this land.
"Yes, Captain-Engineer!" the Bridge-Officer replied as he saluted before he became a flurry of effort. Running up and down the lanes, informing the men. Ensuring they all understood what we were about to do.
"Let our name grow." I breathe quietly as I felt the power of my airship's engines throb. To beat a gathering of Valkinvar and their fortress home. We would become legendary!
"Captain-Engineer, we're breaking through to the forces on the ground!" one of the communication officers informed me as I stepped down from the wheel. Content to let the Thunderous Brawler travel on ahead at her leisure.
"Speak to me." I ordered the man on the other side.
"Who is this?" they asked first.
"This is the Royal Seven-Peaks Union Airship Thunderous Brawler, we are on our way to assist in your fight."
"Praise Jhrarda indeed." he let out excitedly as I watched him look over his shoulder wearily.
"What is the issue ahead of us?"
"A wing of Valkinvar have held themselves up in the Long Battery Fort. We do not know why they have done so, they should've been swept aside before we even got here!"
"Then allow us to correct this oversight." I tell him with a nod.
"Together." he says with a nod.
"Together." I repeat as I look around at my crew.
"You cannot come fast enough, our war-witches cannot match them and our men suffer grave issues establishing forward defences to even commence with a siege!"
"Keep them occupied for now, we'll bring in all the firepower you need." I explain to him.
"Will your compliment by any chance be able to join us?"
"Of course, we will bring them in as close as we can to support your efforts."
"Thank you, and with mighty haste may you arrive. Let our spilt blood be redeemed by victory."
"I wouldn't have it any other way." I tell him as the line of communication goes quiet.
"Maps of the landscape are up, Captain-Engineer."
"Get me the Head of the Charge, I want his ryphurgok ready to drop." I tell them firmly as I start to inspect the landscape. Adjusting my view in various manners before I established where the army was likely held up at. Seeing the scale of that fortress made it clear that they had one line of advance.
Directly before the grand line of artillery... Fire and smoke would dominate their vision on the advance. And it was our sworn duty to put an end to such a sight. The whole mountain that fortress lay upon would crumble into nothing and the light would break through!
And under the light of our orbiting Lord and his family, we would consecrate our victory!
