Fire, Charge! 1

Instructions

Chapter 1: New begining In a world with sentient machines and no organics, a new leader steps from the shadows. King Gausstavus is now in charge. With an army of ten thousand troops, four thousand elite Grenadiers, known for turning tides of what seems like unwinnable battles. And around three thousand, mostly shock cavalry and around eighty guns. Together they will stay strong trough tough luck, relentless opponents, and they will dominate in a world, with all machine and no organic. "King Gausstavus! King Gausstavus! King Gausstavus!" The villagers cheered, as the new king puts on his crown and draws his sabre. He points it at the snow, it melts instantly. Gausstavus remains mostly silent, the only sound it the tundra being the sound of their mechanical whirring and some occasional buzzing of their living metal repairing minor damages. "To the castle." He ordered, walking in front of the guard. Their kingdom isn't know for being the strongest in the world, but Gausstavus' predecessor has made it a force to be reckoned with by introducing thin, line formations, shock cavalry, and mobile laser artillery to it's military. One laser gun needs to be shot two to four times to effectively take down one soldier, but hundreds fired at once? That's devastating. And while other factions form large squares of infantry, Gausstavus' predecessor ordered that battalions, if possible to form thin two or three file deep of soldiers to maximize firepower by enabling more guns to be used by these thinner line battalions. The new king, alongside a handful of the kingdom's best Grenadiers marched towards the Royal Castle to change some things in the castle for the new king. It won't be long until they will start walking in a path to glory In a land far away, with ice so cold it would freeze the lungs of men. A Tsar is threatened, Gausstavus becoming king is a threat for everybody in their world. Even as a prince, Gausstavus is a brilliant general who has a reputation for winning unwinnable battles. Him being king would only worsen everything, and with his brilliance, weapons and more organized troops. The Tsar can't beat Gausstavus and his Grenadiers, at least not now. "What is your opinion on the new young king?" Asked a commanding officer, towards his soldiers standing in front of them, the soldiers formed a mass of twenty soldiers long and four soldiers wide. "He was a brilliant general in the past. I'm sure he will be a great king now!" Answered one soldier, from the first file of the second rank. "Surely he will lead us towards a path to glory!" Answered another, from the third file of the fifth rank. Everybody in the land seems to like the new leader, but after he plans to double the strength of the military, not everyone is satisfied. Mostly outside the kingdom, but in one certain fort a rebellion broke out, the battle of Akhill has begun. The rebels, with a force of nine hundred troops and ten field guns faced off against one thousand six hundred troops of the Royal Grenadiers, twenty guns formed into three batteries, and six hundred heavy shock cavalry. The battle starts with all twenty guns of Gausstavus' batteries opening fire upon the rebel formation, large beams of yellow melt trough the first few files. The rebels marched forwards, their own artillery pieces firing back at the Grenadiers. By the time the soldiers saw each other, the rebels are already wavered, both the Grenadiers and rebels fired at each other as the Grenadiers continue to advance, both firing one shot every fifteen to twenty seconds. By the time they could see each other's eyes. The Grenadiers fired one devastating volley, before charging with Disruptor Bayonets. The rebels were devastated, Gausstavus' forces only suffered around a hundred casualties, sixty of them are destroyed, while forty sustained critical damage and require major repairs by medic, since their self repair systems can only fix things such as burns, cuts, chips, cracks, and rust. While things like limbs, optics, or major parts needs to be replaced by recycled parts or from factories. On the other hand, the rebels suffered from. seven hundred, and four hundred and seventy five of them are destroyed. The twenty five are then recycled for part while the remaining rebels tried to flee towards the Tsardom. Before getting chased down by the cavalry. This, is Gausstavus' first victory, and everyone celebrated with joy. These Grenadiers are then turned into a specialized legion called the Grand Grenadiers, the kingdom's absolute best used as their ultimate tactical reserve. But in a land far to the east, a group of soldiers paraded the town, with the help of the Empress' shard and a relic weapon called the Cetbang, a reality-warping cannon made by their ancestors. Managed to hunt down another beast. This time, a sky serpent the size of a village. It is quicky turned to scraps and recycled into parts.
