End of post war

Enjoying himself, he almost has it. Soon I will not only be a Lord of Dweomer, but also an important Lord of the Federation of Magic. It is just to bad that Slayer was not with the rest. Even though the Coalition forces claimed they killed all five. For they made my minon the fifth.



Of course, they betrayed me. I was not given a sent. For setting up their ambush. We will kill them soon enough. If just five magi can be equal to a platoon. Just wait till we strike them with a hundred. We gave them a chance with both groups being human. Yet they think of us as the same as they do the D-bees or aliens.



It was the troops at Fort Andrews. That did the hit on my sister. I have already got the support of the volunteer Magi army. In 2 days we will be destroying Fort Andrew. Killing everyone inside for the murder of my sister and the other three, whose names I do not care to know.



That will teach them not to betray us. The only reason they could build a fort there in the first place is because of our involvement in clearing the way for them. We had a deal as fellow human supremacists. Yet they backstabbed us. Us destroying their fort and maybe taking it over is just payback for our efforts in making a deal.



That Murphy fellow better be there. Or I will search him out myself. Of course, the fort is named after General Andrews. He claimed the credit for clearing the path for the fort. Ha, the damn fool was walking around in circles, till we opened the path for him and cleared most of the monsters out of their way.



I hope he is there too. After the battle, I will have the volunteer army collect all the Coalition gear. Slayer had the right idea. We will bring the gear back to the villages, or at least to the Death Valley where we can pick it up later.

Damn, that cocky Captain Murphy. I managed to take credit for him securing this location for my troops. Even having the fort named after me. If he had told me ahead of time that he located the dreaded Magi. I would be back in Chi-Town now with a flood of young women.



Instead, he was invited back with his lieutenants. Where he confirmed with the other generals that it was him and his units that cleared the way for my fat ass.



I do not like this new breed of commanders. Like that Prozak guy or whatever his name is. It should have been me who killed the leader of the Federation of Magic. Well, my troops I mean that way I could take the credit.



Instead, I am forced out here. As the last of the old-school generals of Chi-Town. All of my fellow generals from the war died. Then these new officers many of whom were low class took over. They should have just stayed where they were. We were fine we still had plenty of low-class civilians to sacrifice for the glory of us elite of Chi-Town.



We do not need a population over half a million. Let the lessers take the brunt of the enemy's energy. Then we can go forth and finish them off when they are weak. That was the strategy of us the old guard.



So what if they destroyed the burbs and eradicated most of the lower levels of the city. We needed a good spring cleaning anyway. The lower class is no better than the D-bees were are fighting.



Damn him to hell for stealing my glory. I miss my bounty of slave girls, fine wine, and extravagant cooked foods. Not this slop, poor garbage we have to eat. I am an elite of Chi-Town. This is inhuman for one of my breed.



What is going on out there? I am trying to sleep. So I can dream of my real life back in Chi-Town. If I have to get out of bed to investigate there will be hell to pay. "Whoever is out there making all that noise shut up, My rest has a greater value than all of your lives!"



"Is that right?"



"Who said that, you dare to enter the general private room. I will have you court marshaled."



"Oh, don't worry General. I am here to help you sleep."



Well bring the slave girl in, I always sleep better after raping some common village girl.



"That will not be necessary."



"What are you talking about?" Don't tell me you can't find one. There are lots of villages in the magic zone. Just raid it, kill all the males, and adults then bring the girls back to me, it is that simple. "



After the general's last statement, the man's response was a quick flash of light before the general's head was removed from his body.



"Here I am called evil being a Lord Magus. Yet this is beyond anything we would put up with in the magic zone. Maybe the rebels were right to go to war with this trash."

Sitting on the ramparts smoking a cigarette. Corporal James was watching the night sky. Waiting for his shift to end. You would expect the monsters and demons to attack at night. Yet it is another peaceful night. Strange I can no longer hear the crickets chirping. It is too early in the season for them to die off. They should still be making noise for another month or so.



Well, he was thinking about the strange situation his eyes caught a glint of something shiny on the ground 30ft down from his current position. He then was startled by the sound of a man's cry. So he quickly turned around to see a wave of over 100 armed men raiding the fort.



He was about to ring the bell when his chin was caught from behind him. He was then pulled back His throat slit, then he was thrown over to the cigarette lighter that he saw earlier that caught the moonlight. On the steel zippo style lighter was a jester in the weird clothing they are always shown wearing.



With the last thing he thought before his vision went black was, damn we were fools. The Federation of Magic was just bidding its time. Pretending to be weak. When they could have overrun us anytime they wanted. The alarm was never sounded. Most of the troops are sleeping.



When the fort fell over 600 humans died the only survivors were the four prisoners. The prisoners were all female with bruising and cuts. Two of them were human, one was an elf, and the other was a dwarf.



That day the elite of Dweomer learned that the enemy of the Federation of Magic was just as evil as the Federation of Magic was claimed to be. In other words, neither faction was the god guys.



These same people who read Erin Tarn will call her a stupid dreamer. For only playing up the wrongs of the Federation of Magic, but never the wrongs of the Coalition till it was too late. They feel the same way about the nation of Lazlo in general. What is known as a constant with human elites. The New elites will always follow the evils of the old elites after 3-4 generations. Or in this case by 95P.A.

Norman was allowed to return to Death Valley with Zeizak with him. To keep him under control. Garidon was with them as well. They were looking for evidence of there being a pre-rifts military structure.



To their surprise, they did find something. There was a crashed spaceship, that was still smoking. When they enter it they find it is a mess. All of the bodies are of elves. From their clothing and gear, they seem to have been scientists, and researchers.



They look different from Palladium elves and Jungle elves. Zeizak seemed to be just as curious. He had to take human form to fit in the ship. He used a spell to do it.



The ship is not that big. It is the size of a small corvette class ship. The more they search it the more it looks like a medical research ship. They make their way to the bridge. Where they are greeted by a hologram.



They use the "tongue's" spell to learn what it is saying.



"Greetings strange elves your DNA is acceptable for level 1 transfusion. I see you are both base elves with a life span of only 500 years. With the common Level 1 transfusion, your lifespan will be 2000 years. Comparable to where we came from."



I said ok, I will bite give me the transfusion. At my words, the hologram led us to one of the other rooms. Then told me to sit in a chair. Where a machine gave me a shot. It hurt a little but not much. Shots are rather rare in this world. Outside the tech-based city-states.



"Now you will not age a day until your new age catches up with your old age. If you are around 50, you will age again until you are 200. Do you understand?"



"Yes, in other words, my aging has been reduced by 3/4s. That is right. Now shell we give the other elf the same shot."



"No thanks. Us jungle elves do not trust science."



"Oh, what a pity. Poor primitive elf. I thought such elves died out long ago. I guess I will have to update that file. To include the term Jungle elf"



"As for the elf who received the shot congratulations you are now the new owner of this research ship. My abilities are very limited. As a research ship from the three galaxies, I have only basic defensive capabilities."



"That was the reason I was shot down so easily well exploring a new world. A world that has great potential. Master, please allow me to research this world."



"Can you still fly, and yes you can continue to research."



"Excellent, and yes, I can fly. My power is very limited right now. I spent most of my power trying to survive the reentry of this planet without being destroyed by the orbital stations."



"Their power was rather high for such a primitive planet."



"This is a dangerous plant what kind of defensive capabilities do you have?"



"I have just the basics, a level 2 shield, and an energy cannon, I would be better used to flee than fight master."



"For ship raider defenses I have internal guns set to maximum power without damaging the integrity of the ship. Unarmored people will be dealt with. I also have a security wall where I have energy guns stored for fighting off raiders. Once again these are low-powered weapons."



"How fast can you fly and what do you need to recharge your energy?"



"Judging the speed of sound on this planet I can travel at a maximum speed of mock 4. Doing so would greatly damage my shipboard systems. At mock 2 it would possibly cause hair fractures on my hall. Reducing the life of the ship. At mock one, all systems would be green."



"As for energy sources, the Ley lines work Master, or even your own PPE can help me get enough power to fly again. I have detected many stable Ley lines that are stable enough to work for me to rebuild power and help repair my damage."



"What about one that is 30 miles to the east is that one stable enough?"



"Yes, master, it is not that strong but it is a stable unmoving Leyline. If you would all please put your PPE into this orb. I will be able to get the ship off the ground to that location."



"I will in a moment I have another question first. how long have you been here in this location? Also, can your scans show any signs of underground tunnels or bases around here?"



"I have been here for 2 of this planet's days, and there are no caverns or underground bases within ten miles of this location. That is part of the reason why I chose this spot there would be fewer people who would attack me."



Norman, Garidon, and Leizak give the ship some of their PPE.
