TCB: The Tamrielic/Equestrian Conflict

Chapter 2

4E 210

The Pale, Skyrim

The bandit chief, Leila, waited impatiently, wondering where those damn brigands were at. They should have been back an hour ago, bringing back loot and food, something that the small bandit camp, a small cave built into the side of a mountain, desperately needed, for they had already wasted all of their food, and they were quickly going hungry. It would not be long before the bandits, a dozen Nords, would succumb to starvation.

Suddenly, Tod, one of the brigands, had appeared, running, he had horrible bruises in his shoulder, and looked slightly burnt.

"What in Oblivion happened?" asked Leila "And where is Hollen?"

Before Tod could respond, a Battleaxe had appeared from behind him, and struck down his head. His head and throat  had been cut in half straight down, resulting in the insides of his throat being visible. Leila then looked at the person wielding the axe, both the axe and the armor of the person carrying it had a look of being made of the bones of some sort of animal, obviously a very big one from the looks of the armor.

Without hesitation all of the bandits had quickly grabbed their weapons and charged towards the man, hoping to be able to defeat him through strength in numbers. This would quickly prove to be the undoing of many of them, as they had only seconds before a shout came from the man.

"FUS RO DAH". And with this shout all of the bandits had been sent flying, most quickly hitting a wall, breaking many bones instantly, others had flown quite a while before hitting the floor, still with broken bones, however, Leila and another bandit had been able to get back up, fully intent on killing the intruder.

The bandit was armed with a steel mace and shield, and armored in simple studded armor. While these supplies were by no means bad, was woefully inadequate for dealing with the dragonbone armor, not that this concerned the bandit, who was too focused on crushing his opponent. He had proceeded to strike at his head, hoping to crush his head, and due to the intruder's two handed weapon, had a higher chance of not being blocked. However, a quick "FUS" had proceeded to stagger him,  and the Intruder had proceeded to hit him in the neck, removing his head from his body, ending his life in an instant.

Leila, who had seen the quick battle ensue, proceeded to charge straight at the attacker. She was much more well armed than the bandit, wielding a Dwarven greatsword, and armored in steel plate armor, she had a much higher chance of defeating him. She had much more momentum than her opponent, courtesy of charging straight at him, and thus moved in to make a charging slash at him, hoping to knock him down. However, this proved to be in vain, as he had masterfully blocked it, and then proceeded to make a massive, sweeping slash at her chest. Leila had just barely blocked it with her greatsword, and then tried to hit his leg. This attack had actually hit him, which had staggered him. Leila then aimed a downward slash at his head, hoping to finally put him down for good.

"FUS RO DAH", he had yelled again, sending Leila flying into a wall, with the bones in her legs and her right arm broken.

"Who... Are... You?" she asked, now in horrible pain, bleeding profusely from her arms and legs.

"I am the Dragonborn, the last thing you will ever see." The man had stated, and had then brought his battle axe down of her head, ending her life in an instant.

From The Captain of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor

Princess Celestia, as Operation: Conversion goes into effect, I believe that we should put more manpower into our military. While I know it seems odd, as our diplomacy skills are genuinely able to stop even some of the most violent disputes, we should still be prepared for everything. As it stands, our militaries size is:

TOTAL EQUESTRIAN MILITARY COMPOSITION

Royal Celestial Guard-5,000 Total Combat Units

-2,500 Earth Pony Royal Cataphracts

-1,500 Pegasi Cavalry

-500 Pegasi Slingers

-500 Unicorn Class 10-8 Battle-Mages

Royal Lunar Guard-(CLASSIFIED BY ORDER OF THE ROYAL LUNAR GUARD)

Equestrian Army-50,000 Total Combat Units

-30,000 Earth Pony Men-At-Arms

-10,000 Earth Pony Cataphracts

-5,000 Earth Pony Archers

-4,500 Medics

-500 Class 7-5 Battle-Mages

Equestrian Air Force- 35,000 Total Combat and Crew Units, 30 Total Airships

-5,000 assorted Crewmen

-25,000 Pegasi Cavalry

-5,000 Medical staff

Airships of the Equestrian Airforce

-10 Airships of the Line

-20 Frigates

-30 Galleys

Equestrian Navy- 3,000 Total Crew Units, 30 Total Ships

-2,000 Crewmen

Ships of the Equestrian Navy

-5 Ships of the Line

-15 Man-O'-War Frigates

-10 Galley's

As you can see, this is an obviously well prepared and powerful military, however, I believe we should start increasing enlistment, a strange idea, yes, but if the People living in this world have a Military as strong as the Ancient Chrysalid Empire, I would rather be on the safe side.

To Her Majesty, Princess Celestia
