Qualinesti-
“Lord Beryl wants a explanation right now. Why did you countermand her order for the Blues to attack the Wolverine Forces!?!” Major Vorkov demands to the Qualinesti Commander.
Marshal Medan shifts in his seat, only to reach for his North Keep whiskey. “ As you are aware Major, I serve the wishes of my Lord of Night. I will remind you; since it is possible you overlooked the protocols of the Knight of Neraka charter pertaining to special Occupation standing orders. Any request for aid, involving the use of Blue Dragons, loyal to the service of the Lord of Night, must be made to the Lord of Night in Jelek. I have sent a Dragon Rider to the Lord of Night, and have yet to receive a reply. I included in my message to Lord Targonne that he was left out of the loop by you and so I feel perhaps it is you that should be a little worried. No authorization from Jelek, my Dragons don’t fly.”
---------------------
The first attack comes 10:00pm.
Elements from 3rd, 4th and 5th Wings begin their mission.
Each Wing is divided into 5 units of 8 making 44
The eight from unit 3 of the 5th wing move from the north as silently as they can as they near their target zone. They have waited until the single moon was dark, to move in.
A lone elf on patrol in the NORCOMM area of operations hears the slight sound of flapping noises; she looks up, and sees nothing, her Infravision not picking up the heat signatures of the cold bloodied beasts. She is alarmed enough to return to her squad leader, and report a sense of fear and dread.
Sthinissh directs her unit to where the Kapak scouts said the enemy would be, they glide in, and when near enough to the clusters of troops, they administer their deadly noxious gas.
DragonFear overcomes many units of the 384th and the 374th, and the Chorine Gas hits them the hardest, as they are gassed repeatedly by the Green Dragons. Archers try to hold still, and fire at the undersides of the great beasts, but few ever hit their mark.
There is disarray in the ranks, and the troops gag for fresh air.
---------------
Meanwhile, in the South, advancing Wolverine Infantry units from the 3rd Army feel DragonFear sweep over them and they look up, but barley glimpse the aerial flight of:
Unit 1, 3rd Red Wing-
Infernus
Tyberion (Red)
Blood Gem (red)
Flame Searclaw (red)
Andorung (red)
Hekhorath (Red)
Plus 2 more Reds
They are on Camp Marika within Minutes. The Aerial Scouts of the Air Wing don’t have time to warn those below, but some attack with all their might, while the others fly straight to Gateway.
The Reds close on the camp, and lay their flame attacks on the Wolverine Base camp. General Hjortarian you see the Reds lay down their fiery barrage on their first pass. Rage boils up inside of you. Will this be the final battle? If it is to be, so be it.
------------
At the forward basecamp of the 2nd and 3rd ACR’s near Wolfgaard, forward scouts notice some increased activity at the stronghold. Sgt. Kellan sends runners back to inform Command. His attention is diverted upwards for some reason, like he saw something . . . moving . . .
From the gray clouds above, flights of Black shapes drop below cloud cover . . . Dragons!
The Sgt. sends a runner immediately to report. The Blacks shoot down to attack range, and bears in on The ACR’s. Acid rains down onto the unsuspecting troops. Lady Joan and Nebriss hear the screams from the multitudes of acid burn victims.
Several more passes are made by the Black flights, hundreds of troops are affected by the Acid attacks.
Several minutes pass after the last attack, and Joan and Nebriss venture from the protective rocks. They had been spattered too, but not hurt badly. All wonder if that is all.
Masses of dark figures bleed from the gray clouds. Their wings spread open at the lat moment to slow their decent. The 13th Draconian Airborne has been delivered to the Combat zone. Sixty-four troops close to meet the enemy. Officers and Sgts’s try to organize the troops, to mount a counter attack. Archers are readied, and fire with some accuracy. Several Draconians are taken down. Sixty-four more Airborne troops drop from the sky. Several are intercepted by Wolverine Air Scouts, but many more make it to the ground.
The South Doors open at Wolfgaard, and hundreds of Goblins pour forth, and head south, screaming in battle rage, to back up the Draconian Airborne.
The First Black flight returns to Twin Peaks and picks up the next airborne detachment. The second flight strafes with acid the 3rd ACR.
At the 2nd ACR base, Col. Sonah looks on in horror at her troops being cut down. She drafts a quick message, and sends out her runners to her 3rd ACR counterpart.
--------------
At Gateway, H.Q. of the 1st Division
General Granitehammer, you are stealing a hour of shuteye, but 33 minutes into nap time, your J-2 comes in, and stands a safe distance from you, and says, “General, there are Dragon Attacks in progress at camp Marika.”
“He waits for the General to sit up, then continues. “Two Air Scouts just landed to report, but we can see the attacks from here.” He directs you to the window, from your bedroom window; you can see multiple flame attacks, perhaps as many as ten distinct flame trails.
----------------
The Infantry units from the 3rd Army look back at their command base, and see it erupt in flames. They want to help, but against Dragons, the Infantry can only watch from the ground as their comrades from another world fight and die.
The forward scouts keep their mind on the job, and look ahead, only to see hundreds of Goblin troops emerge from the Qualinesti forest, with a mind to kill. The Scouts are quickly overrun, and the combined ground forces from Haven bare on the southward moving units from the 3rd Army.
Lord Oztaz looks out across the Solace vale, seeing the night be lit up by distant fire. The Wolverines are doomed, but they are to proud to even see it come. The end is near for them, be it this winter, or the coming spring, it does not matter. The Primal force of nature, the first children of the Gods have been summoned, Dragons.
