Everfree Forest

Castle of the Two Sisters

Few hours after caravan attack

When we had gotten back to the castle i immediately trained and summoned 40 Bray Shamans. 10 of them were healing the people we had rescued while the rest were working on strengthening the walls with magic and making a magical dome that acted both as a shield and an illusion to make it seem like the castle was still a ruin. After that i went into the throne room and sat down on my throne thinking about my next move. If i kept attacking caravans passing through the everfree then the castle would be filling up pretty quickly. A knock on the door alerted me out of my thoughts. The door opened and Stronghoof walked in with a piece of paper. “Sir. Here’s the tally of those we have liberated.” He said as he walked up to my throne and handed it to me. I waved a hand dismissing him and he left while i read it. It said that the total tally was 60 people. Most of them being minotaurs and griffins with a few changelings thrown in. After i had read it i came up with an idea. Since the castle would be to dangerous for civilians especially if it was under siege i would give them another place to hide and thrive. And i knew just who could do the job.

I quickly brought up the blue screen and found what i was looking for. I selected a hundred and waited for them to train. An hour later an orange portal opened and out stepped a hundred Dwarf Miners. “Alright listen up!” They all looked at me. “I have a job for you guys.”

2 Months Later

Everfree Forest

Cavern underneath CotTS

It had been two months since the first caravan attack and the Dwarf Miners had done exactly what i asked of them. That being mining out a giant cavern underneath the castle and building a fortress and town in it. I had also instructed them to block off the cave entrance leading to the tree of harmony so that the elements of harmony wouldn’t be able to become stronger. The reason for the cavern was so that the civilians had someplace to be safe and not be in harms way if the castle ever came under attack. The fortress was basically a bigger version of the castle at the back of the cavern with a wall sorrounding it and the town around it having to expand each time we had raided another caravan. A few patrols came to investigate the attacks but i told my men to let them be since it would just attract more attention to ourselves. The Bray Shamans had made some parts of the cavern sunny to make it so that crops could grow in the cavern. Some of those we had saved wanted to go home but i explained to them that if they went back on the trail then they could very possibly be captured again. They reluctantly accepted that since they didn’t want to become slaves again.

The town around the fortress was flourishing thanks to the crops and the houses the dwarfs had built. The people were happy. Some of the older ones had told me of the equestrian border towns. Except they were more military bases than towns. Instead of civilians living there it was only military ponies awaiting an order to raid the nearest towns for slaves. It disgusted me how the ponies would raid defenseless towns and villages. Alright maybe not defenseless but all the other species in the world didn’t have magic so they had no way to research it and make countermeasures against it. I ordered the dwarves to start making a tunnel towards the nearest border town so that we could take it and use it for attacking the other border towns and free the slaves that haven’t been transported deeper into Equestria yet.

I had also grown my army a bit bigger. I decided than instead of just beastmen i would train troops from other factions from Warhammer Fantasy since i was in a fantasy world and since the ponies nor any other species on Equis hadn’t invented gunpowder yet i couldn’t use gun wielding troops unless i wanted to attract more attention to myself before i was ready to face the Equestrians head on. Anyway i had trained and summoned

150 more Gors
150 more Ungors
150 more Ungor Raiders
160 more Bray Shamans
200 Bestigors
200 Minotaurs
200 Harpies
200 Beastlords
200 Doombulls
200 Wargors
200 Gorebulls
100 Centigors
100 Tuskgor Chariots
100 Razorgor Chariots
50 Chaos Warhounds
50 Razorgors
50 Beastmen Chaos Spawn
50 Ghorgons
50 Cygors
50 Jabberslythes
50 Chaos Giants

These troops added with the ones i already had would take over the nearest border town once the tunnel had been finished along with the other border towns. Equestria was used to it’s neighbors never doing anything in retaliation since it had so much power but it would receive the shock of it’s life when it discovered that there was someone that would fight back.

Canterlot Castle

In the throne room of Canterlot Castle Luna and Celestia was reading the reports about the attack on the slave caravans in the last 2 months. Luna looked at her sister worried. “Do you have any idea who would attack the caravans?” She asked. “No. Our neighbors wouldn’t do something like this since they are too afraid. I hope Twilight gets here soon.” Celestia had sent a letter to her fellow princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, to come to her castle in Canterlot immediately. Of course having been the student of Celestia, Twilight went to Canterlot right as she got the letter from her pet dragon Spike.

A royal guard came into the throne room. “Princess Celestia. Princess Twilight and the element bearers are here.” He said in a stoic voice. “Good send them in.” She replied. The guard nodded and gestured to the two guards at the massive throne room door. They opened it and in strode Twilight and her friends. “Twilight. It’s good to see you again.” Celestia said smiling motherly at Twilight. “You too Celestia.”

Celestia sat up straight in her throne her face turning serious. Luna followed her lead since she had been gone for ten thousand years and was still adjusting to modern times. “Now as you might have guessed over the past few months there have been several attacks on our slave caravans going through the Everfree Forest.” The main six had mixed reactions to this ranging from hatred to worried. “Yes it is horrifying to think that someone would take our slaves.” Fluttershy looked extremely worried. “Oh i hope they’re okay. Those poor slaves being abducted against their will.”

“The guards have investigated each attack. The only thing they can gather is that whoever is doing this doesn’t leave survivors and disappears without magic.” The ponies present gasped. “What do you mean princess?” Asked Twilight a bit fearfully. “My guards follow the tracks of the attackers and the slaves but at some point they just stop. Every time they’ve scanned for magic but they have found none. Which is where you six come in. I want you to go to the Everfree, find the taken slaves and deal with whoever is doing this.” Twilight looked determined and so did her friends. “You can count on us princess.” Rainbow Dash flew up into the air. “Yeah! We’ll kick this neighsayers butt so hard that they’ll never mess with Equestria again.” The others yelled out their agreement determined to take this neighsayer down not knowing how hard it would turn out to be.
