Gate: War Of Two Worlds

"What do you mean they are all dead?" Senator Oras says, shocked by the news of what happens on Alnus Hill.

The news is not good. Almost two months ago we sent many of my greatest generals to claim the lands beyond the gate in the name of the Empire. After they went through the magical Gate, only a few came back. At first, the news sounded great. Much riches and slaves were taken. That was the first report stated.

The people beyond the gate seem to be weak and defenseless. However, all contact seemed to have vanished and only a few were able to come back with mix reports on what was happening. Not knowing what was happening, I sent two-thirds of the Imperial Army to guard the Gate until I decide on what to do next. A hundred thousand force of soldiers, trolls, our other Dark race legions, thousands of cavalry and much more stood guard protecting the Empire.

According to the messenger, three days ago the people from the other side of the Gate arrived. Within one night they crushed my entire army stationed there. In one night, now how is that even possible? The letter even states it was only ten thousand of them, using some unknown machines and magic no one has ever seen. They have powerful gods on their side.

"We must send a counterattack right now. A defeat like this must not leave unchallenged." Another senator would say, in an arrogance tone.

"Are you kidding, who are we going to send? This is the second army to challenge these people and be defeated!" Some random senator somewhere in the back of the Senate Hall would shout.

A short argument would begin, clearly showing that the Senate is divided on what to do. The Empire has defeated and gone through a crisis before, but for some reason, this one seems different.

Some want to reclaim Alnus Hill and enslave these people who dare put up a fight against the Empire. Another group wants to do nothing it seems while another wants to negotiate.

Emperor Molt Augustus will stand up from his throne. "Everyone please calm down. This is not a crisis. The Empire has ordeal far worse. We will overcome this 'challenge' and we will become victorious!"

Many applause him, one will step out of the crowd.

"My liege, if this letter is correct, our mightiest weapons couldn't even stop one of theirs. One hundred thousand dead in a night, we must assume the other twenty thousand are dead on the other side of the gate. Who is left to even fight them? It will take months to rebuild our losses and to recall our forces garrison throughout the Empire."

Emperor Molt laughs at the sender's point. "We will call on our vessels. Send word to all the kingdom and lords that their Emperor calls upon them for war. That will give us the numbers and time we need." He says and then sits back down in his throne.

Most of the senators would leave the hall, ending today conversation but as the last few leave, my daughter Pina Co Lada. As she marches towards his throne, he will single his most loyal senators and advisers to stay here.

"Father, have you heard what happen? How can we let this enemy hold onto our territory? What is our plan to reclaim Alnus Hill!?" Pina demands.

He chuckles on her boldness but then rolls his eyes, not fully taking her seriously. "Stay calm my child. We are taking care of this. These intruders will be dealt with shortly." Emperor Molt says.

"Father!"

He hears her. He will shoot her a disapproval glare right at her.

She will readjust herself and kneels. "My apologies my Emperor, I am just frustrated on how this could have happened."

He nods with approval. "They are from the other side of the Gate. I have called upon our vessels for help."

He thinks for a minute and smile. He knows why she is here. A few years ago, I have her own regiment of soldiers. The Rose-Order of the Knights, an honorably guard of young female soldiers and retired men too old for actual battle. She has been asking for a real test of her order worth. This could be a good opportunity.

"We have a plan to take back Alnus Hill, however, I think your honor guard could help."

There will be a spark of excitement in her eyes. Been waiting years to prove their worth and now the chance arrived. "We will serve the Empire with honor."

"Go and protect our interests from the enemies and make sure our subjects don't rise against us."

She nods her head and heads out.
