Inside the City of Chang An (Glory Only)

[Wei Yan]

"Heavens... If this is to be I reap what I sow, then so be it, but above all things know that Lu Rai, friend of myself, is innocent of all charge and the people will be defended or my wrath will be never ending. Understood? Good."

A warriors prayer. It was a sight to see honestly. The ruler of Chang An, down on one knee in the middle of the road before the gate, his army lined up behind him, as he wiped his hands with dust. It seemed odd to see it done, but it no doubt cleaned them of any sweat or anything. Lu Rai was only a few feet away, standing tall and strong. It wouldn't be long till the war to begin all wars kicked off and the shield's man was truly wishing it was already over. Too long had he dwelled upon the upcoming battle in his mind; he just wanted it finished.

"Steel yourselves!" boomed the still kneeling Wei Yan before rising. It was like a wave of metal shimmering across the city as weapons were brandished everywhere. Yan's personal "Guardians" as he called them slammed spear haft's into the ground to signal readiness. A wave of stomps ushered behind them from the men. Most of them were beyond nervous, but they were feeding off the warrior's strength... for now.

"Rai... This is how it starts..." whispered Wei Yan as he patted his friend on the shoulder. With that, the warrior was mounting his horse, sitting tall, spear now in hand. It was time for a war speech, and hopefully that would end the feeding.

"Here we are men... The dawn has broke upon our war! No longer will it be rumored that Ma Chao seeked to bring justice upon Chang An. No longer will it be thought that the heathens of Chang An are without discipline! No longer!

Here we are men... Standing at the ready to defend... What? The people? Our lives? Our homes? No... We stand ready to defend a moral! A belief! We come to war bearing the arms of hope and equality! Glory! That is the right of every man! Glory! That is what we strive for! Glory! That's who we are!

And Glory... That's what they come to destory! Yes, Oh Yes! Ma Chao comes barking into your face and breathing down your neck with one goal: Destory Glory! Who is he to take away our free right? Who is he to condemn us for having a belief? This lordling comes bearing the fruits of war! Who's ready to feast!?"

"Hoo-Rah!"

"I said... Who's ready to take up arms and devour the Golden Horde that now comes to our door step?"

"Hoo-Rah!"

"Not a single one of you!?"

"Harooh! Harooh! Harooh!"

"Haha! That's much better! Then let us go men! Let us brandish our arms, bear our pride, and stop this foe that brings war to our door! Oh yes! This is a day that all China will remember! This is a day that Ma Chao will rue! This is a day... That brings Glory to every man..."

And with that, the speech was complete. Peasents of all kinds had came from their hidings and their homes to here the speech. Hell, even a few were seen pumping their arms and joining in on the war cries. Ah! It made a warrior proud to see the fruits of his passion for the goodness of people come to blossom.

The warrior looked to his companion and pointed out across the men. "Do you see them, Rai? These are Hope of Mankind Incarnate!"

Rai just nodded his agreeance and stopped a town runner. "You! Boy! Go, make sure Master Lu Meng and Master Aja Jex have prepared their armies. We have no time for failure."

The runner just nodded his respect and ran off. For a moment he'd been scared, but it didn't take long for the fear to be replaced by honor. The people had literally taken it as an honor now to be seen with or around Lu Rai and Wei Yan.

Aja Jex arrived and had sorted out his battle troops. The time was here and he had to show everyone that he was a rare talent. He approached to Wei Yan where Yan was keeping the troops morale up. He took his helmet off and placed it on the floor. He had to show everyone that there is no fear on going, if he had showed fear the troops morale would go down.

"Master Wei Yan, General Aja Jex is reporting at your service. I am ready to meet Ma Chao and defend our people. Such foolish man like him has left his own city with out a defense. Shows how desperate he is to slaughter our people for no reason. Yet a villain like him still has the guts to call us evil."

Aja Jex looked angry and turned around to all troops. He placed his helmet on showing everyone he is going to war without no fear. He shouted to all of his troops:

"If you lose this battle what do you think will happen? They shall hunt your family down like animals. Your brothers, sisters, for your sake even the old and the young shall be killed. Ma Chao will not spare anyone so I say we fight!! We show them the true strength of Glory and show them the boss."

Aja Jex got his sword out and put it in the air showing the troops that he isn't going to back out. His face turned in to a straight face which was meant to scare people off.

The troops were hyped up and shouting the name of Glory. Aja Jex had done his job but was it enough to defend the city.

(dont have long, sorry. Seriously crappy post, CURSE ME)

The city is tense and the crowds are nervous. Outside you can hear the women and children crying and the men scrambling to prepare for the siege. Sun turns to his 50 men, coming to the back of the city. At first there is some alarm at the approach of armed men, but the T'se banners lower the alarm. Sun enters through the back entrance of the city, and walks to the nearest guard.

"Tell Wei Yan that Sun Liao has arrived. I will help him hold back the Horde until the rest of the Allies arrive, T'se has his back."

((Yea this post is crap considering i really dont have time))

So this was it, not even a few months after the great Dong Zhou battle, Lu Meng was in another one. Pittted against the stalwort hero Ma Chao of Xi Liang, meng wasnt quite sure of why his lord wei yan and ma Chao where pitted against each other just because of some folish dis-agreements. Meng wasnt personally offended of Ma Chao for coming at his lord in a dis-respectfull manner, nor that Meng holds any grudges, but this is war and anything goes.

This seemed like it was going to be a grand battle, considering many other armies and abled officers came and answered the call of both armies, the Glory kingdom and The Golden Hord, and also from the looks of it, the Golderen Horde seem to have more troops then the glory Kingdom, hopfully the Glory kingdom would have better officers in defeating these vermin, Ma Chao calls his troops

Meng's armour fited tightly, his crimson and black armour fit perfectly. as he mounted his steed, he ordered ths troops to march and make way for battle
