(Gore is not yet a guarantee, but it might go there at some point. It is a war fic, after all.)
Equestria is known as a fair nation with good intentions. But, as with all great nations, there are those who seek to destroy it. Equestria has allies, and an equal number of enemies-when these enemies band together, they become a force not to be reckoned with. Nothing will stand in their way, except for a lone settlement with a specific position.
Queen Chrysalis had her eye on this settlement. With grave intentions, she, King Sombra, and a Mercenary Lord, gather at the borders of Equestria with a great army. Perhaps she will call a siege upon Canterlot, Perhaps. May the Goddesses help the City in The Sky.
