Shortly after the defeat of Hargus and his minions Kenshin had returned to the lands of his home. He went searching for the ones who left their own village and started their own. He had invited Matis to join Katara and him. Matis had decided to join them, Dirk had as well. Things were going fine all over the world, Ostia had troubles rebuilding everything but with the help of all of Lycia things looked good for the people of Ostia. It took a year for Ostia to rebuild, Bern had used that time to prepair an assult on Ostia again. They knew they're army in it's current state wasn't strong enough. The king had gave a speech to rally it's people into joining the fight against Lycia.
"As most of you know we were under attack by a dragon, using our network of spies we learned Lyica was able to control that dragon just long enough to commence that attack, that was their backlash for our attack on Ostia. They had been preparing for war before I was able to attack them first, that's how they were able to deflect our attack. They were attacked by an unknown soldier and are in the stage of rebuilding Ostia and recreating what it once was and when that happens they'll have their army on our front door step. We can't let this happen, we must strike them while they're still weak and before they can strike us first."
Along with that the King had issued a draft. He knew another act of aggression may draw troops from else where. His spies had informed him of the events in Etruria would keep them busy, then Sacae was a bunch of nomads they wouldn't have issues with him just yet. Ilia is what scared him, not only have they been out of action for so long they could easily drop from the clouds as they could. They made money from fighters for hire, they would be far better then the run of the mill farmer with a sword they were going to have. 5000 gold, half of the land they conquered, and the priceless artifact of the royal Bern family, the Fire Emblem is what he offered Ilia for their support in this upcoming war.
The priceless artifact, money both were a good thing but what really got Ilia's support was the fact they wouldn't have to import anything to keep their people happy. No longer having to till frozen soil year round, and a winter home somewhere a bit warmer then Ilia for the nobles. They were to hit Ostia first and fast. Bern had sent in their foot soldiers to draw out Ostia's troops which had worked. Wyvern and Pegi dropped from the skies towards the brave men and women of Ostia then swooping up when they made an attack and gained height again. As they did that the ground soldiers charged in, when Ostia troops seemed busy again they dove again.
Ostia's defeat wounded the moral of the rest of Lycia and they fell as well. Caelin had their army retreat before the battle and brave soldiers stayed behind to fool Bern they were putting up a fight, they fell in honor. With all of Lycia in Bern's grasp the king still wanting more land then what he has, he sent them out to attack.
His target was Sacae. Within days he had the southeastern part of Sacae due to the surprise and skill of his army. The group of Sacaens who referred to themselves as the Elite Sacaens lead by Sasuke took up arms and fought against Bern. Hearing the news Kenshin gathered up anybody who could fight in surrounding villages and joined Sasuke.
A year into the war all hope was lost for Sacae until the battle of Bulgar. Kenshin's troops had met the kid who saw him as an idol before the battle against Hargus. in battle. Before they fought they had a small conversation about the old times and current event's.
Kenshin:"I would of never thought you made it out alive let alone that high of a rank, but now it looks like we're against each other."
Bern General:"I'm sorry it's going to end this way but you're going to end up dead."
Kenshin:"Is that so? Why's that."
Bern General:"Well you're outnumbered and out classed."
Kenshin:"Outnumbered, yes but we're nowhere near out classed."
The battle had started with Kenshin being victorius, he didn't care what happened to the soldiers of Bern but he took that general hostage. While in their prison cell they noticed that they were being taken well care of.
The Sacaen army was able to hold off the Bern army. Sasuke wanted to show the world the might of Sacae so he got the remaining members of his tribe together and more forces to fight. Kenshin had joined him and they both made their way into Bern undetected. The night before their planned attack Kenshin and Sasuke had a fight, Kenshin and his troop packed up and left, killing the moral of Sasuke's troop. Mid battle it looked hopeless for the Saceans until support had arrived. Kenshin showed up with his troops. On his command he Pegisi dropped from the clouds onto the Bern foot soldiers. Bern was in shock, their ally were attacking them. No matter to them their riders would take flight against them too. A whizzing bolt found it's target in a Wyvern rider's left shoulder with a sicking thud that didn't kill him. He lost his balance and would of fallen to his death not if his mistreated beast cought him, and it's first meal as a free Wyvern. Kenshin had spoke with the leader of Ilia's army. He had promised Bern to them if they helped. Ilia had seen less then half of the money they were promised and still haven't even got to look at the Fire Emblem. He had shown up with Bern's former ally and the remains of the Caelin army. Sasuske was able to fight his way towards the castle with the help of Kenshin and his appointed body guards, they outnumbered the king's soldiers 2 to 1, in the confusion of battle Sasuke ended the king's life. Now without a leader Bern's reason for war was over. For overcoming the struggles of the war Bern had become part of Ilia Ilia knew with the new land they had won they would need a leader for that new land. Using the one who had dealt the final blow as a lord.
Will be edited when people post what their characters are doing during that. Post here, PM, or what ever as long as I get it to work it into it is all that matters. Also time frame wise, that takes 3 1/2 years.
