Bring on the Corsairs!

"You have your orders. Prepare yourselves for victory."

That was all Niel got to hear our Lord say as he walked through the doorway and down the corridor. His facial expression was grim and his hair was dark and long. His strides were strong and purposeful as he carried his wolf helm under his arm.

"You! New Blood!" Wolf Guard Ulrich Goldenclaw came up. "Get to the pack and tell them to ready themselves for we leave soon. We are riding with our Lord and Askel Asmundson and will be the heart of the army so let them know and make sure they prepare."

Niels made his way to his pack to spread the news and ready himself for deployment.

-------------

Wolf Guard Zeth Longfurr gathered his pack to ready them for the coming battle.

"Brothers we have our orders."

Tolvar looked up from cleaning his Power Axe. "Do we now?" He smirked down to Jannek Youngwolf sitting down from him. "Happy now, young one? You can cease walking around here in your somber mood." Jannek shook his head and finished cleaning his bolter.

"We are to take the middle ground. Our Lord will be riding with Goldenclaw in their Land Raider. He is also bringing Asmundson which is different." Zeth moved to his weapons and began putting on his Powerfist.

Tolvar looked down at him. "The Wolf Priest? He rarely seems the field anymore." Jannek threw down his cleaning utensils and stood in a huff. "Jannek, please. Josef gave his apologies for the offense. Let it go. Would the story of how Two-Toes got his name bring a smile to your face?" Everyone in the room besides Jannek and Two-Toes seemed to chuckle.

"I do not know of the story, so I do not know."

"It is none of his business how I got my name." Two-Toes snorted. "He will learn it when he learns to control his childish anger."

"That may be a very long time." Tolvar said as he chuckled.

Zeth looked up with a smirk. "Enough. Ready yourselves. We leave shortly."

------------

It was shortly before dawn as the forces of Bran Redmaw pushed into known Red Corsairs territory. The Land Raider taking the middle flanked by a Razorback and Predator tank. To his east the Dreadnought Absalon the Angered and to the north were the Packs lead by Zeth Longfurr and Halvard Halfwolf with Predator support. The sun began to raise as the Vindicator's Demolisher cannons hit their marks and the Predator tank lost its twin-linked Lascannon.

Our Lord pushed the Land Raider forward as the enemy Vindicators rained damage down upon the Predator and Razorback cause more damage. The packs to the north moved up to take major objectives and intercept two Rhinos filled with traitors. Absalon moved on and fell shortly after to a large unit of Corsairs and five brilliant meltagun shots to his rear.

The Red Corsairs, under the cover of forests and Vindicator fire, made their way to our Lord's Land Raider. A large flash of teleportation flashed. Three traitorous Obliterators appeared right next to the Land Raider and damaged it so bad it could no longer move. Our Lord, Aksel Asmundson and Longfurr's pack exited the Land Raider and began to terrorize and devour the Corsairs. They assaulted a group of berzerked Corsairs and our Lord Bran Redmaw killed seven of the traitors by himself followed by Asmundson who killed the remaining three. The rest of the unit wrecked the Vindicator.

To the north a group of Corsairs led by a Sorcerer defeated the pack led by Halvard Halfwolf to a man and secured their objective. On the other side of the forest, the pack led by Longfurr defeated a unit of Corsairs and began their trek north to the objective.

Back to the south, our Lord led another assault into a unit of Corsairs led by a Sorcerer. Our Lord destroyed the Sorcerer with one swift swing. Asmundson led the rest of the unit in and destroyed the entire unit to a man causing the rest of the Corsairs army to flee the field.

"I had never seen someone move as ferociously as our Lord. He tore through the Corsairs swiftly and accurately. He and Asmundson hit them first and there was nothing left for the rest of us to bring our weapons upon. Our Lord began with a high swing of his great frostblade across a Corsair removing the upper right side of his torso and head. The follow through brought his blade across his body and he kicked a traitor away to his right and rolled over another. He then brought the blade back to the right slicing through the mid section cleaving a traitor in two as he shot a traitor in the face point blank with his bolt pistol on his left. The carnage did not stop til they were all dead... and all we could do as a pack is watch in amazement." - Cyrill Whitefang

"Our Lord parried the Sorcerer, speared his blade through him and then decapitated him so fast it was over before it began... but I finally got to taste their blood as I got into the fight plunging my claws into two traitors." - Ulrich Goldenclaw

"Climbing out of the Rhino wreckage the smoke was everywhere, and then we caught a glimpse of the traitors and began our assault and decimation of them. They put up a valiant fight, but in the end, we felt no pain and destroyed them for the Allfather." - Arnth Anderrsenn
