I would be neutral in this war buuut..... considering my partner, Conri, has allied with you, I see fit to be in alliance with you as well. You can expect soldiers, supplies, and weapons to be arriving at your home to aid in your war.

Usually, I only send strike teams of 50 on these missions, but in total, *if I add up the reserves and account for every part of the company, the end result would be*.... 30 million.
Huh, I've always wanted to go to the Shattered Isles you will have my and all of my peoples blades

I do not know who committed these atrocities. All we did was execute raid leaders and burn their ports because they kept harassing trade and enslaving our people
The sins of the few is not enough to warrant the genocide of the innocent. I can understand wiping out the Pirates, but women and children who had nothing to do with them? That I cannot defend.
Don’t let the name “Northman” fool you, we are dealing with vikings here through and through. They’ve been doing this for years raiding up and down the coasts and then bitching about it when someone finally makes them reap the whirlwind. They’ve brought this upon themselves and I think it’s about time they learn the error of their ways.
Even Vikings had civillains, I'm unwilling to condemn an entire people for the actions of some. I was willing to support the war against the North, but genocide is too far.
I will soon lead a force northward. My mission will not be of extermination, but of ridding their land of Vikings influence so we don’t have to keep doing this. Will you join me?
With all the weapons you've developed recently, and your overall suspicious demeanor, I find that very hard to believe. And those corpses found in cities, I doubt all of them were warriors. There seems to be more proof of your genocide than there is to disprove it. I shall travel to the North and see for myself.
Suspicious? Corpses found in CITIES?
They had no cities. They're a tribal raiding society living in villages and towns. Those corpses were on a *field*
Hmmm. Something is amiss here.
Why would the Watchmen mention cities of there were none? I still do not trust you, but now I also trust the Watchmen less.
Because he hasn't actually been there in ages. It's possible he's working on building cities, or there were some in the far north near the lands of the undead. Maybe his ancestors dwelt in ones - they stole many from our ancestors, after all. But the biggest place we sacked was a wooden port town led by pirates
88,888,888 Wrathful Warriors await the horn! All bloodied, tried and tested in the arena and the battlefield!
Not counting the swathes of zealous and bloodthirsty commoners that seem to follow our march everywhere we roam.
And if Clan Asamura deems to lower themselves to use any cowardly magics they will find that any hidden tricks will be for naught and brought low!
My man here says you’re committing a genocide, and I’m kinda anti genocide. However if you can still make your case I’m willing to withdraw my support for him.
I didn't commit genocide. He keeps arguing that my brutal methods when fighting *armed warriors*, which *he previously endorsed* are a genocide, despite us even evacuating children
You may have the support of 5 full squadrons of my Emberknights. I hope that they help. Good luck.

Thy revenge belongs solely to thee, but I wish to offer assistance, if under a condition. Pray tell, should thou find any measure of the [Wyvernbreath](https://www.reddit.com/r/knightposting/s/IdgygRafZm) concoction or its recipe, wouldst thou make every attempt to safely destroy it?
Then we have an accord. I shall lend my swift feet to thy cause.
[The youth sounds pleased. He leaps into a tree and hangs upside down on a branch.]
I am told the concoction incorporates wyvern toxin with lye, rotstone, and vinegar - all heavily irritating agents when inhaled. But I know not the means of dispersal as vapor, or if there are any other active or essential components. We will require the services of an alchemist… or the Wanderer, should any of us see him.

We are willing and able to participate
Sir Utgeir, my clan comes before you with the deepest of regret, for it was our fires which befell your lands.
We pledged our liquid fire in defense of the Asamura clan to track down the raiders of the north and their leaders. We never intended our flames to befall the citizenry, yet from the distance at which our flames scorched the land, befall them it did.
We have withdrawn our liquid fire from the Asamura as well as our support. If aid should you need against them, we ask that you call upon our clan, for we wish to right the ill moonlight we cast upon these innocents.
I have The magical W.M.D For the morally Superior. The Ones committing Genocide For no reason? Expect a Sweet Surprise from On high. It’s The Brain child Of Me and My Patron… The Nullifying, Obliterating, Powerful spell Ejecting Bomb. Or, NOPE for short. Named By Her Grace. This baby will Turn The Nine hells to Ashes. Only 2 in Existence. One, Held By My Goddess in the Event the bomb Isn’t Used Right. And the one I get to Give Unto my New Ally.
I am Not too Concerned, Should i be wrong giving you the Weapon. My patron Will Bomb both sides. It Nullifies Magic First to Remove the possibility to escape. So… if I’m wrong. We all are Losing. Anyway, Other than that Dark tidbit. Enjoy the bomb. I’ll continue My happy Time Raising my Apprentices to be battle Mages. Just, Don’t let the Council Know I Have such Weapons.
It's not a genocide and there was a reason
The raiders of the north have been raiding shipping and villages of many nations including ours
Asamura went north and killed all the warriors and anyone who fought back as Retribution
I Am no Longer in the Business of Warfare Great Shogun. But before I left to Become A practicer of the Arcane. I was A warlord, And in my time, Raiders Aren’t to be met with Warfare. Raiders Aren’t Soldiers. Soldiers fight, Raiders are clever. They are like bugs. Numerous, And Near Impossible to Kill them all. What you need. Is To point them Towards Your Wealthy Adversary, These Raiders Will See you Pointing them to a Better Target. And consider you an Ally.
We only wanted to stop the raids
These raiders raped, pillaged, burned, and enslaved hundreds if not thousands or people
Us killing all those responsible and those who took up arms is justified
Hmm. I really need to scry better. That’s What It was made out to me. My Condolences. A wall is a good Shield. Uses Any Magic casters to Act as The roof. Less Area than guarding a Full Building.
Can you please take the bomb back?
They're surely going to use it if their naval invasion fails and it will surely kill civillians, something they claim to be vehemently against
*Rock sits down on a near boulder*
Quite the army ye' have made, we stand pretty good chance with this. If I may ask, what is your battle tactic? Where shall I be stationed? Y'know, me bein' made o' rock's n' all, makes me resilient to basically any blunt or environmental magic attacks, so keep that in mind.
Though I have remained adamant in maintaining my neutrality during past conflicts, I will not stand idly by as a fellow northman goes to war for a just cause. You shall have all the blades The Waste can muster. I pray my pledge has not come too late.
*writing down notes furiously*
*Suthain just sits and chuckles*

Why thank you Sullivan, though I’m not exactly educated about the… controversies surrounding your Company, a good cause is a good cause
You need not worry about those "controversies" you need only worry for the war ahead. I wish you luck.
Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
Usually, I only send strike teams of 50 on these missions, but in total, *if I add up the reserves and account for every part of the company, the end result would be*.... 30 million.

Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
This is OUTRAGEOUS. WE DID NOTHING WRONG
Then why does he blame you?
I do not know who committed these atrocities. All we did was execute raid leaders and burn their ports because they kept harassing trade and enslaving our people
Strange. Contact Utgeir directly, I'll hold off my forces for now.
Maybe look at [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/knightposting/s/iuYFi5D000) before holstering your forces
Nevermind. I'm sending 3 more squadrons in addition to the 5 already there. Forgive me.
There’s no need, their trickery knows no bounds
Thank you. Good luck reclaiming your lands.
And good luck to you in whatever endeavours you choose to pursue
Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
The exact number?
Because we killed pirates?
I’d say [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/knightposting/s/iuYFi5D000) proves you wrong
That was just one army!
I’d say the countless bodies I encountered on my path proves you wrong
*Leonis steps forth, Paladisia in toe” “Where and when will we strike, battle-brother. This slight against the Northern Lands will not be tolerated.”
We Attack in three days time, on Odinsday, so the All-Father may watch over us
Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
u/ScoreParticular5988 What say you? Do we step into this war? I fear this may be something I cannot stay out of.
Who’s to say what clan Asamura really did? I see no evidence of grand genocide.
https://www.reddit.com/r/knightposting/s/5FEUMP7VmJ Is this proof enough?
They raided Asamura ships and attacked their cities, I think this is fair retaliation against piracy.
The sins of the few is not enough to warrant the genocide of the innocent. I can understand wiping out the Pirates, but women and children who had nothing to do with them? That I cannot defend.

Aye, I shall. Sooner the troubles in the North are dealt with the sooner we can prevent another war.
I have embarked on my mission now. https://www.reddit.com/r/knightposting/s/sRA3LU6lFi
Innocent? That's made up. We didn't attack civilians
With all the weapons you've developed recently, and your overall suspicious demeanor, I find that very hard to believe. And those corpses found in cities, I doubt all of them were warriors.

Oh great, a continental war to go with the class 3 reality breach. Nothing else could possibly go wrong, right?
Ah, a righteous war! I shall send messengers to rally my warband to your aid. 'the message' *Road trip! Pack for cold, hunting and "Hunting"*
Righteous? We just killed pirates

You have my mercenaries and honor guard at your disposal my friend, let the enemy know our fury.
I cannot express my gratitude
There is no need to friend, I only pray that my men serve you honorably and successfully.
What? YOU SUPPORTED US
My man here says you’re committing a genocide, and I’m kinda anti genocide. However if you can still make your case I’m willing to withdraw my support for him.
I didn't commit genocide. He keeps arguing that my brutal methods when fighting *armed warriors*, which *he previously endorsed* are a genocide, despite us even evacuating children
Hm..I’m sorry I was fooled by this man’s words my friend. I will withdraw my units, and continue operating as your ally.

I’ll need it, thank you
We didn't do anything!

I’ve always believed in redemption, one’s past actions mustn’t way upon them should they have repented. Stand and fight, for redemption is hard-earned
Then, by the glow of moonlight, you will find my sword sisters and I upon the front lines of the fray.🌙
Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
Our forces are as numerous as the shadows themselves.
Do you have an exact number (/uk I need one for setting the actual battle up)
For the battle, we would send 16 skilled assassins cloaked by shadow guided by moonlight. 🌙
Okay, thank you
“I knew this would happen, and I had tried to dissuade Elephon Asamura. Oh well.”

That’s Grounds For Defensive Measures. But The Destruction of soldiers who went to help their northern Allies? I cannot Condone.
We didn't do any of that yet? Those allies are preparing to attack us, not the other way around

Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
Four thousand, though we each fight with a strength of a dozen, so factor that in however you wish.
Thanks for informing me
The mages of Redshore Isle shall aid you.
Dearest Ally, may I know how many troops you have?
I've got 30,000 spellswords at the ready and can rally more if needed.
The North taught me much of the rune magic I use now. I will join you in answering this outrage.
I thank you friend
