[Dwarfaholic]

Jian besieges the settlement north of him, while the army of two units continues it's slow march.

[Mephansteras]

The various fleets of Zei-Ran's armies slice through the waters on a path to glorious destiny

--

Keep moving towards the various destinations.

Yun Wong's fleet will scout out Hū's defenses if they get in range this turn.

Archers are trained to defend Weidan-Shu.

-- Updated to include archers for Weidan-Shu

[Kashyyk]

Lola's army continues their march East, across the sand dunes.

Tsing Liu, has a similar challenge. First, he organizes the training of a unit of archers, and then marches South into the glaring Sun, to both train is men in the desert, and to free the desert of Barbarian Tyranny.

Orders:

Lola moves East

Tsing Moves to (9,-14) with Cavalry and Archers.

[Akroma]

Munisai, bored to death by Zei-Rans snail pace (dear god, in a boat giving you a +2, and still only at a total of 3 tiles? didn't you get any speed upgrades at all? geez) and moves together with his unit of cavalry to meet Zei-Ran on the sea at -10;15

sitting idle and waiting for the mountain to come to you might be a good solution for prophets, but not for me.

Koga still guards the ships


Shou Ji and Kestrel make another push into the city. Their units are the soldiers that will pierce the heavens!


Taishi hurries more than ever to reach the capital, follwing the road. His task has become a whole lot more urgent.

[Navian]

Apura prepares to test the city's defenses, cautiously but incisively. She will only commit to the attack once the path to victory is clear, and in the meantime will continue to prepare.

[Nhiphanter]

The heroes get to Luyang.

Ogedei continues towards Khoraf.

[NUKE9.13]

Firstly, my sincere apologies for my mysterious disappearance. I just didn't feel internetty.

Secondly, with no RP for now as not to hold up the game any longer, my actions are (predictably) to press the attack on the barbarian city.

[Istrian]

Xian Jierui sieges. Upon storming the walls he suffers a major defeat.

Zei-Ran's Yun Wong comes in range of Hu. Defenses are fairly impressive, with many layers of fortification and at least 500 soldiers guarding the place. The commander is likely to be a very able man.

Lola Danyal moves.

Shou Ji and Kestrel push into the city and take it with a moderate victory.

Apura attacks the city. She manages to take some of the caves in a minor victory.

Ogedei Khan moves. Meanwhile Mardukane is attacked from nowhere by Ling Cui. Without defenders it quickly falls.

Fierban presses the assault and takes the city.

======== The dead ========
Shou Ryou, scion of the Shou clan, governor of (-25,4), died of old age while serving Madara, his loyalty being an example for all to follow.

[Navian]

Apura goes for the win!

[Mephansteras]

Yun Wong arranges the fleet in a blockade of Hū. The Cavalry disembark and siege the city from the land, cutting off any land-based supplies.

---

Zei-Ran continues to Minjing.

Yun Wong sieges the city, seeking to starve it out.

The Cavalry at Minjing boards a transport and goes to join Yun Wong.

Shu Yu continues towards Yun Wong.

Mi Zheng continues to court.

[Dwarfaholic]

Xian Jierui, as well, go for the win, while his troops continue their agonizingly slow movement.
Xian wonders why he didn't siege instead of storming the walls, and regroups his soldiers. His other troops continue moving slowly.
Xian tries buildings siege engines again, hoping he can stave off his incredible bloodthirstiness.

More complicated plan. Jierui takes the strongest unit and heads homewards, while Pang takes the other two units and heads for the unit in (15,36), which heads towards Pang.

[Akroma]

The army in Hangyakusha takes the ships that Koga has been guarding and heads south towards eientei, post haste. The 4 cavalry units follow shou ryou, the slower units shan wist, putting them at the same speed

koga, taking with him only his remaining cavalry unit moves at his own speed and moves south

Taishi Reisou takes with him the strongest and most elite army of the empire, granted to him by shan wist, and moves to mardukane. He is specificaly instructed to avoid man-on-man duels. Not that the enemy has much opportnity to duel him while he is riding a giant eagle.

Combined movement with Zei-Ran:

first, Zei-Ran moves one tile west and joins forces with Munisai (1 fleet action point gone)

then, another tile west (last fleet action point gone, 5 action points from Munisai remaining)

then, into minjing, collecting troops, and leaving the city through -17,15, and from there straight south to -17,12


btw, Shu Yu seems to be placed wrong on the map. The army section sais he is at -6;8. The map shows -3;9


the units that get disbanded are the green cavalry under taishi reisou (which has been replaced with lots of awesome anyway), and the unit of non-forester cavalry under koga, which would be too late for the dance anyway

[Mephansteras]

Yes. Change of plans.

----

Shu Yu will head south towards Mardukane.

The cavalry at Minjing will join up with Zei-Ran instead. Once the meeting with Munisai Madara is complete, Zei-Ran will head south to Mardukane as well.

[Kashyyk]

"... and finally your orders, I need your expertise as soon as physically possible, so you must get to me at the fastest pace your men can manage. I will meet you in Aremac, where we can discuss this situation properly.

Your Commander,

Lola Danyal"

Lola lent back from her desk, sealed the letter and addressed it. The name Tsing Liu was clearly visible on the parchment of the envelope. She picked it up and left the tent, handing it to a guard on the way out. Turning to the other he told him to spread the word that thy were moving out, back to Aremac.

Orders:

Both Lola and Tsing travel to Aremac at full speed.

[Nhiphanter]

Ogedei gets to Khoraf.

Ling Cui remains tight in the Mardukane. (Note, she will not engage in combat if someone reaches the city next turn. Parlay. She will not hand over it just yet either though)

Cavalry built in Luyang

Xia and mei Gather the units in Luyang and sail towards Angran.
