Another tactical genius.
New orders are as follows:
We will retaliate based on the level of hostility towards us. Keep up at least enough pressure to wear down Claude, while responding to this new threat accordingly. Grounded on the fact that Claude hasn’t directly attacked us for a long time, a complete shift in priorities might be an option, unlikely at this stage, but an option nevertheless. We don’t take attacks lightly.
All hail the Empress!
Sincerely, Supreme General Blackhead.

Janvier, von Volkenrose and few other people were sitting by the table, on which map was laid. Said map showed political map of the world, before the war had started. Now it was full of figures, lines and scribbles. Horrifyingly large part of said map was marked yellow. - Gentlemen - began Janvier - up until now, our situation seemed to have only one solution. - There was another solution, but your fervor blew it up with fire of cannons - Growled Duke Diederik Ambroise de Cheuland. - Ah, so you preferred shameful armstice and letting those brawlers take another prey, so you could live few more days? - Jabbed Joachim - Shut up, sellsword! You're in no position to judge me! You don't have army that doubts in point of this war! You don't have lands that are ruined by taxes, pillages and drafts! - Diederik, calm down - Landgraaf of Ocrines, Jurgen Cornelis van Rompuy said - You are not the only one whose lands suffered. - Unfortunately - Added Godefroy Traver, comte of Bucrein - And I fully agree with duke de Cheuland. We're running out of lands, men, supplies and worst, money. - Silence! - Roared bishop, hitting the ground with end of his cane, which resulted in loud bell-like sound. Seeing that quarrel was prevented, he continued - Yes, our situation was really bad. But, with Asagians coming to war on our side - he moved figure representing Asagian ships near Icarian shores - and landing in Vospad - Jeremie placed figure of infatryman near mentioned city - Icarian armies will have to divide - This time Janvier moved one of three Icarian figures, cavalryman representing Field Marshal Łucjan Czarnogłów, near city of Vospad - which will in turn weaken their forces in our area - Bishop pointed to their camp near river of Elst - and maybe allow us to push them back - Battlepriest gently moved figures towards the original Icarian Commonwealth borders. Everyone went silent for the moment, thinking about the idea. While the situation was far from being perfect, they finally had some chances of actually striking back. - Icarians still outnumber us. We can do it, but not without large casualties, which can in fact be our doom - Noticed Diederik. - We were doomed since the beginning of this war, de Cheuland - Said Godefroy - Let us have this one final charge. - I agree - said Marquis Émilien Barthélémy de Wotrein, who was silent until now. - So do I - said van Rompuy - Semms like I have to yield - noticed Duke Diederik - So, we came to an agreement - said Jeremie - Sir von Volkenrose, I have mission for you. - Huh? I mean, what do you desire, Your Excellence? - Can you deliver this message to Duke of Lennon? - Jeremie handed Joachim a scroll with bishopric sign. - Sir, I mean, Your Exellence, Duke of Lennon is- - In Vospad, yes. However, you and your people are known for doing things that are thought to be impossible. Can I count on you? Joachim von Volkenrose started to think. This was, actually, doable. A small cavalry regiment, mercenaries in addition, going through such rowdy land as Icarian Commonwealth, where nobles ar more busy fighting each other in parliament than battling their actual enemy... The trickiest part was near the end, in Vospad, where they had to break through Icarian siege and not get shot by Asagians. Actually, it's a good opportunity... - Of course, you will get paid extra for this task, about 10000 Clauds - Said Janvier, guessing Rothmagister's thoughts. - I shall see it done - Said Joachim taking the letter and saluted.

Permission granted. In fact, that’s your new order! Previous orders were submitted because of the new imminent aggression, whereas Claude didn’t represent any direct threat anymore. With this new attack on us I see no reason to switch priorities. We can deal with that after we’ve finished Claude. They had this one chance to back out and rebuild what little they had, and they managed to screw that up too because of their cowardice.
We will annihilate them. Period. No mercy for cunning cowards.
All hail the Empress!
Sincerely, Supreme General Blackhead.

- The plan is simple - said Joachim to his men - The entire army will charge the Icarians. We go with them, acting like normal battle unit. - That's quite unambitious plan - Snarked Lieutenant Heidrun Assendorp. Men at the campfires chuckled. - Please don't interrupt me, darling - Joachim said heartily, which annoyed Heidrun. Being one of few woman in the regiment, she was an object of either admiration or scorn. Quite early in her career, both happened quite often, so now it was a bit triggering for her. Rothmagister frowned seeing that she took a deep breath and was preparing for a long stream of swearwords - That was an order, Lieutenant Assendorp. - Yes, sir. - So, you are right, Assendorp. The plan is quite simple, we go into battle, part of our artillery starts hammering their field defences, we ride right through their camp and we go out on the other side. - And after that? - Asked Godfried - Well, Cornet Vandergrift, after that we go into Icarin, try not to get stopped and finally arrive in Vospad. Hahnreitern started to whisper between each other. "Madness! We'll be going right through enemy lands! How are we gonna do it?" and other things in such mood. Von Volkenrose just waited patiently for them to finish talks, smiling and looking meaningly. Cavalrymen went quiet again. - I know it sounds like madness, but trust me, it is not that hard. Cornet Vandergirft, you are very good at this, can you describe Icaria, from economical-societal view? - Icaria is quite large country, but it doesn't really matter, as most of its lands are wastelands or just simply uninhabited. It is also the country with largest amount of nobles, which is about 10%. Nobles are divided on four classes: Magnates, Middle Nobility, Farm Nobility and Bare Nobility. The division comes only from wealth and prestige of the nobles, as they are equal in laws: Bare Nobility has no lands at all, just their sabre, horse, clothes and noble title. Farm Nobility usually owns a small village, or even tend their lands personally. Middle Nobility owns usually few villages. Magnates are the major players - they have often large families, own a large part of a country, sometimes even a city, and they usually have or had someone in the government. They also often candidate for a king. Reiters murmured, but Joachim just raised his hand. Godfried continued. - Political system of Icarin can be compared to Asagian one. You have king who rules the country, but his power is limited by a palriament, which consists of higher and lower house. However, the diffrence between Icarin and Asagia is the fact that throne is not inherited. Every time a king dies, whole nobility goes on some field and choose some noble to be their king. Of course, there are various promises, pacts, shady deals and all sorts of political game. Foreign nobles can also take part in the elections. - I should apply one day - Joked Rothmagister to brighten the mood. Camp laughed - Anyway, continue. - There is nothing to say more, maybe beisdes the fact that nobles often oppose each other in politics, and the fatc that there are few major cities, but all of them are small and generally unimportant, besides Vospad. - Where we are going - Added Joachim - As you heard, gentlemen, due to the fact that even pettiest of the nobles are allowed in a political game, Icarians often fight with each other for power. And I guess that someone as powerful as Field Marshal Tsch-Cza-Tzarno-fuck it - another round of laugh - has also quite many and powerful enemies. Who said that they won't help us? We aren't Claudists. We are mercenaries. We are Hahnreitern! Who we are? - We are proud bastards! - Roared soldiers - We are honourable scoundrels! We are Hahnreitern!

Sir permission to use the mortars for the Claudians trying to sneak by our left flank, actually permission to use everything from small arms fire to heavy ballistic artillery to make a crater fitting enough for a lake sir.

Aye, Supreme General. I will commence my attack immediately. Their numbers are few, but their morale appears unwavering. We cannot hope to rout them or force their surrender. Might I humbly request a modest field promotion (perhaps as an auxiliary general?) and a few more auxiliaries to my command? I could use reinforcements to tear up Claudian infrastructure and supply lines. Starving soldiers may be more amenable to our goddess's mercy (They don't fight too well either).
Praise the Tsun!
Sincerely, Auxiliary Captain Rellek.

Rain. - Are you being fucking serious now? - Heidrun asked the world. The world only answered with raindrops. Joachim looked at the bishop, trying to see what he thinks about it, but veil on his hat made it impossible to read his emotions. - Soldiers! - he shouted - Advance! Claudist infantry started marching, sounds of pipes, drums and boots on muddy land filled the air. - Time to earn some gold, comrades - Said Joachim to his men. Hahnreitern started to slowly ride on flank. - Argh, this weather will be disasterous! - Assendorp was still in bad mood. - I'd say quite diffrent - replied Joachim - It's actually beneficial for us, as we won't be getting shot in the field during charge. Guns wouldn't help us much against entrenched enemy. - Still - Heidrun was not giving up - We outgun the Icarians, who are more concentrated on melee. - Only cavalry, and we have enough pikemen to solve it out. Icarian infantry... - Lieutenant chuckled - you know well, it seems. Sounds of gunfire roared ahead. While it wasn't a storm of lead and powder as usually, it still was. Some cannons actualy done breaches in Claudian colums, but it was nothing scary. Claudian cannons responded, bit better, but still not much. Rain seemed to intensify. Most of the land has become mud. Icarian cavalry rode out of the camp, thousands of horses galloped on Claudist ranks. Pikemen and musketeers formed square on slope of a hill. The cavalry still charged. On the lead moved the worst nightmare of any commander - Icarian Winged Hussars, armored from toes to head in plate, holding 6-meter long lances, armed with estocks, sabres and pistols. In the meanwhile, light cavalry moved on flanks, trying to encircle Claudists. - We have to interrupt them! - shouted Joachim to his people. His lieutenant just nodded. - Take your firearms! Advance! Hahnreitern galloped on Icarians, holding pistols or bandolets. The famous banner, rooster on a turquoise background, was waving on the wind, heavy from rain. - Aim! - shouted Lieutenant Assendorp - Fire! 283 reiters pulled triggers of their weapons. Some fired. Some didn't. One actually exploded in hands of shooter. Some bullets hit their targets, which caused Icarians to react. Now they were concentrated on the mercenaries. - Prepare second volley! - shouted Assendorp and reiters took their pistols. Icarians started to shoot from their firearms and bows. When they got really close, Heidrun shouted - Fire! Another round of misfires and shots. This one was more devastating. - Charge! - shouted Joachim and everyone took their rapiers. Icarians and Hahnreitern clashed. The latter did more damage with their charge downhill rather than uphill, and while Icarians were better fighters, they soon got outnumbered and started to retreat. Right flank was secured. Joachim looked around and realised that it was their chance. On left flank Icarians fought with de Wotrein's cuirassers, while the center... Hussar charge wasn't that good, but it was still enough to entirely devastate two first ranks, especially with their lances being longer than pikes. After their lances got broken, hussars charged with estocks and sabres and were now closed in combat with halberdiers, musketeers and pikemen. Hussars were being pushed back, but slowly and painfully bloody. In the meanwhile, the camp was bit damaged with artillery fire, but most importantly, empty besides some guards and camp followers. - This is it, comrades! Time to start working for those 10000 Clauds! - Shouted von Volkenrose to his men, who replied with cheer. Mercenary company galloped on the camp. - We have tail - Said Heidrun to Joachim. Indeed, some cavalrymen decided to chase them. - Whatever, we just have to break through! Suddenly, one cannonball actually hit the rotte. - And I think we should do it fast. Rain changed into a storm. They rushed into the camp, shooting, slashing and trampling anything in their way - people, carts, tents, whatever. From time to time somebody died, shot or impaled on a polearm. Then they saw the gate, being the only thing between them and the other side. - Destroy it! - Ordered Joachim, shouting over the thunders. Some reiters dismounted, took axes, swords or berdiches lying around and started chopping. In the meanwhile, rest of their comrades stood face to face with chasing them Icarians. They fired twice, but most of the shots were misfires. Two groups of cavalrymen clashed. Joachim parried a hit of a sabre and thrusted forward, only to be parried. He blocked a hit from overhead, but when he reflexively let his guard down, his opponent did it again. He dogded and thrusted forward, this time hitting his enemy in his armpit and foward, to the chest. Icarian slumped in saddle and dropped dead on ground. The gate finally gave up. Cavalrists mounted themselves again and rushed outside. They did it. In front of them was Icarin. And somewhere, on the north-east, was Vospad.

You are hereby authorized to use our whole arsenal as you see fit. Light them up Soldier! Rellek I actually had a promotion in mind. High command has been working on a new secret project behind the scenes. And I’m proud to announce that the T-STF (Tsun-Special Task Force) will be operational shortly. This super elite all female Squad is our new trump card in this war and will act separately from our main forces and operate on extremely dangerous high-risk, high-priority assignments. These huntresses wear tight, black leather bodysuits with aggressively designed combat masks and will be equipped with our brand new assault rifle, which is currently in development. The Icarus MK2. Its prototype MK1 is being tested right now as we speak, and it’s already the envy of the world. Incredible effective range and penetration capabilities, tactical scope, sound suppressor, everything top of the line. You’ll be working here at HQ and directly oversee their operations, which means direct mission communication with T-STF field Commander Theresa Skyler. Furthermore you’re now a fully fledged citizen of the Empire, and not a mere auxiliary. We expect T-STF to enter the battle close to the end of the war against Claude. So T-STF’s very first mission is going to be the capture of Claude and her high officials + military leaders. They’ll all face trial at our capitol, where they will either be imprisoned or executed. Lastly I have a short letter from Commander Skyler for you. I’m signing off here. All hail the Empress! Sincerely, Supreme General Blackhead. Hey kid, Heard we’ll be working together on this. I’m not too thrilled about that, not gonna lie. I know what I’m doing and I can’t stand interruptions during missions when I’m obliterating amateurs. Just keep yourself quiet and we’re fine. Well, at least I’m finally seeing some action again. That damn special training we’re receiving here is pretty excessive and boring compared to a real fight. I normally enjoy my standard physical routine composed of heavy lifts, heavy squats and endurance training. But the shit we’re doing here is on another level. Anyways, it will be my utmost pleasure to personally bring down that stupid pink haired doll. Theresa Skyler Leading T-STF Field Commander
