Prisoners and Planning

Silver Sword was not having a good day. First he forgot to eat breakfast, Then he was called up to fight some human 'rebels' and not only did they completely obliterate his fellow guards, they killed many of his friends and worst of all took him prisoner. He worries about what horrors await him when they reach to wherever they are going. And worst of all he cant use his magic, Well he can, but the humans threatened to kill all the others if they found one missing, and no pony wanted to be responsible for the death of their friends and companions. So their arms were tied behind their backs and their armor removed, leaving them in only the undershirt and pants the guards were issued. They walked in silence, flanked by the red clad humans on all sides, and whenever one would slow down they gave them a 'friendly' prod with their swords. They soon entered the woods and for what seemed like hours, marched through it without a word.

"Psst Silver.. What do you think their gonna do with us" His fellow guardsmate, Spear Strike, wispered to him.

"No clue, they probably have some sort of camp or cave where they are based" He wispered back

"Quiet you two!" One of the legionnaires to their left yells at them.

"Sorry.." They both respond as they continue to walk in silence. Hoping that they may be able to see Equestria again.

After about 30 minutes of walking the legion and prisoners arrive at the Massive wood fort that the rest of the legion built in the small groups absence. Vesperianus rides ahead to tell the rest of the legion of what had happened, most believing it due to the slaves that were returned from the apple farm, About 300 in total. But those who still doubted they were in another world were quickly silenced when they saw the guard prisoners. Soon it was apparent that they needed a place to put the prisoners, so Vesperianus decided that a prison should be built near the tents. But in the meantime the prisoners were kept in a clearing surrounded by Legionnaires. But they were allowed to converse with themselves quietly.

"So where do you think their from?" Silver asks

"No clue, their definitely not just a bunch of slaves with weapons. That's for sure..."

"I just hope they dont kill us or worse.."

"Same here silver, same here... I already miss my family"

Soon the makeshift prison is completed and the guards-now-prisoners are put inside. With at least 4 legionnaires to guard them. But soon Vesperianus calls up his centurions to decide on what to do next..

"Alright now that we know where we are due to this map one of the 'Pony' guards had, we can tell were in quite a large forest in between the town of Ponyville to our south, and Vanhoover to our northwest, with a large mountain range to our north and east, Then there is ponyville just east of us and not much else around us, as everything else is farther away. Not only that but all humans are considered slaves, no matter what. Though we don't know how many countries are around this country named "equestria", and if they keep human slaves. I need ideas from any of you, so what do you got?"

"Well we could send scouts and raiding parties to the nearby farm to gather supplies and to rescue some slaves to bring back." One centurion says.

"We could also use the slaves to start making ourselves self sufficient, have them learn to make weapons and armor, farm the land etc. We would give them protection from the 'ponies'." Says another Centurion.

A few murmurs of agreement go around the makeshift table. Many thinking this to be the best plan.

"We must remember that we no way of contacting Other legions, or Rome, so we cannot get reinforcements. And the native population will have a massive numbers advantage, so staying in one place will be dangerous for us. They will find out where we are and surround us until we starve or surrender." Vesperianus says to the centurions.

"Then we must move, before the enemy can find us and strike them somewhere they wont expect, maybe even freeing more human slaves and train the ones we have to bolster our numbers slightly." The first Centurion states.

"Hmm that is a good idea, they will waste time searching for us here while we gather supplies by raiding other towns. All in favor of enacting this plan?" All hands raise "Then it is settled, we will uproot tomorrow and march south to 'Appaloosa' and hopefully catch the ponies by surprise."

The Centurions and Vesperianus exit the tent and go to give orders to the soldiers, While Vesperianus takes a few legionnaires and all volunteering slaves to train with swords and spears in case they need to defend themselves.

Meanwhile A Very large army of over 10,000 Royal guards arrive in ponyville, Marching down the streets of ponyville in a parade, bringing the spirits of the Ponies of Ponyville up higher after the defeat.

"Those humans are gonna get it, they cant possibly fight 10,000 of the best guards in the Equestrian royal army." Blueblood says, marching alongside shining armor in front of the column of the marching army. Showing off his eccentric armor and sword.

"I don't know, they were very organized an-" Shining is cut off

"Please, just because your leadership failed doesn't mean mine will."

Shining sighs and groans in anger but keeps a straight face. Slightly hoping that Blueblood would be hurt badly in the coming battle. But shining puts those thoughts away as he thinks of what to say to talk some sense into Blueblood's thick arrogant skull...

Author's Note

Was going to make this chapter about some other humans from another time period being transported to equestria but i thought "Its to early for that" and "I dont want to rush it" so i decided to think about more, so in the meantime here is some filler. also i couldn't decide what kind of army would be teleported.

Also put recommendations on which kind of armies from where would you like to see in this fic. has to be reasonable and a small size (Preferably less than 10000) and has to be before 1700, no major gunpowder usage.

BTW map i am using for reference is the map the show creators made.
