I’m genuinely surprised I haven’t gotten into a conflict with Russia yet.

Ecclestia wrote:HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

Today is the International Day of Peace. Let us come together in reflection, hope and prayer for a world with less violence, conflict and injustice and one where peace, justice and kindness rule.

I would also like to share with you all an incredible campaigner for peace and justice. Eleanor Roosevelt was the First Lady of the United States from 1933-1946, served as the US Representative to the United Nations, oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and was a prominent campaigner for youth, women and racial minorities in the United States. She was a woman far ahead of her time whose resolve and influence has fundamentally changed the world for the better.

This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt has been a favourite of mine for many years. I hope it inspires you, as it does me, on this important day.

‘It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.’

Blessings to you all on this important day.

Ecclestia: yay peace!

Still burnt out, and lightly irradiated from the nuclear strike carried out against the gem landing zone there, orks would be disappointed to find no fight to be had in the ruined, burnt out city. Albeit, save for a few remaining automated defenses and active robotic infantry that had somehow managed to survive the EMP created by the nuke. It’s outskirts were well defended by militia, however. German militias, compared to civilian military groups in the rest of the world, were incredibly dangerous. Often led and trained by ex-military, and well funded by investors, seeing as they often take contracts to fight in conflicts in lieu of state militaries around the world, they were also well armed. The untrained eye would even think that it was a professional state military. Despite using dated vehicles sold off by governments as they were replaced, their familiarity with the terrain and equipment allowed them to prove a very dangerous foe.

Berlin

The Chancellor’s press secretary was hounded by journalists. The man seemed unphased by the loud nature of a wartime press briefing, seeing as the FRG has been in near constant conflict for the past three years. East Prussia, burgenland, the pitcairns, the gems.

“Is the Ork attack a response to any German provocation?” One journalist asked.

The press secretary was quick to respond, “no. Germany has no diplomatic relations with the Orks, nor have we engaged in any actions that directly involved them previously,” he then pointed to another journalist, “Serena.”

“Thank you. Do we know why they decided to invade Germany?” The woman questioned as she stood from her chair.

“Thanks to our colleagues in the Imperium’s intelligence agencies, and direct council from Oberbefehlshaber Kaufer of the Astral Knights, the orks live for war, so it’s likely this attack was out of Boredom for them,” he pointed to another journalist.

“Can you comment on the status of Nuremberg?”

“The battle of Nuremberg is currently ongoing. A joint command structure was created between the military, local law enforcement and emergency services, and local militia to coordinate and effective defense and evacuation of civilian non-combatants. That is all.” The press secretary closed his binder and left the press room.

Nuremberg, eastern outskirts, JTF command center.

“I need a situation update.” A man known only as overlord called to the numerous uniformed staffers in the area.

One of the staffers, the Nuremberg chief of Police stood from his chair. “Sir, my officers have all our roadblock and riot control assets set up, but it wasn’t enough. It’ll slow the ork’s advances but not for long.”

General Johan of the German army stood from his chair, “sir, the army and civilian militias have coordinated a line of defense that will try and draw orks into a choke point. We’ve placed machine gun positions to try and mow down as many as we can, but it’s chaotic. We weren’t prepared for an attack so things aren’t exactly in our favor.”

“We cannot lose Nuremberg. If we do, they have a direct line of access to Bohemia.” Overload firmly stated.

A General from the Air Force stood from his seat, “sir, we’ve lost contact with our forces in the western half of the city.”

“Are they all dead?”

“No sir. It seems like a Jammer was set up.”

“Do we know where it is?”

“We have drones scouring the city now. It’s ork in origin so it shouldn’t be difficult to identify. Though I might add that the ork advance wouldn't have been as quick had we been as quick had we been allowed unrestricted bombing.”

“And risk civilian casualties? Or even friendly casualties?”

“Sir, we have no contact with our forces in the western half of the city. For all we know they could be dead already.”

“But we don’t know.”

“Sir!” Another staffer shouted, “A drone located the jammer!”

Overlord thought for a moment before looking to the General he had been arguing with, “okay general. I’ll let you start your bombing campaign, IF a team of pilots we send in don’t destroy the Jammer. But if they do, it’s restricted precision airstrikes until we get the OK from Berlin for otherwise. Have the rear guard begin building up actual defenses. Tell the vanguard and mid-guard to hold position for as long as possible. The 6-4 is heading our way anyway, so we’ll redirect them,” he looked to a radioman, “patch me through.”

A highway, southbound side towards Nuremberg

A call came through on a radio, saying, “hailing Gates of the 6-4 on all frequencies, contact me on channel 1-6, say again hailing Gates of the 6-4 on all frequencies, contact me on channel 1-6.”

Gates grabbed the radio and moved to channel 1-6, “this is Gates,” she said calmly.

Her British accent threw off the radio operator, expecting her to be german. The operator handed off the radio to overlord.

“This is overlord, Nuremberg command center,” he said, “we require your skills. The orks have set up a radio hammer which cut off our communication to our forces in the western half of the city. The jammer is located atop an investment building with a sign that says Freiheit Finanziell. Your job is to destroy it. Once you cross into the city you’ll lose all contact with us.”

“Wilco. We’ll get it done.” She said before she stopped transmitting entirely.

The woman looked to her team she was bringing with her. Drop, Davis, bear, and a newcomer, Adrian Weber was the man’s name. He was the only german in the truck. He was quiet.

1 hour later

“Stop the truck! Stop the truck! Stop the f*cking truck!” Davis repeatedly shouted as he watched a rocket slam into the side of a building. The explosion sent debris into the street that landed in front of the vehicle, and climbing over the debris, were a horde of orks.

Each of the five pilots quickly left the truck and got into cover.

Airbase beyond Ork lines

A squadron of F/A-27E Deustche Hornisse taxied onto the runway. The four planes, in formation, took off together. Mage squadron, they were called.

“Gear up!” Mage 1 excitedly called out over the radio.

In unison, each of the jets’ landing gear folded in, allowing them to pick up more speed. Their target, the Rok, and Ghazghkull.

With not one but two areas with heavy fighting the orks where quick to let the rest of the horde now where the fight was by yelling loudly into shoddy radios. In Frankfurt it was a scattering of fire fights with the orks trying to get everyone into one giant mosh pit of death. There was no real strategy besides find the enemy and hit them till they stop moving.

However in the ruins of Nuremburg one of Ghazghkulls more intelligent underlings was in command of the horde attacking the city. Already the war boss had the western half cut off communicationally speaking thanks to his mekboyz work on their jammer and knowing it would be a target was having gretchens and mekbosses work on blocking measures. Currently the warboss was doing a plan that his warlord was famous for deep strike operations. He had his frontline and he was now testing its response and, when he had his response warboss Bruz Da Choppa was going to bring down the axe that would cut open a hole from which his masters horde would charge through and keep going till dead or halted.

Back at the Roks landing sight Ghazghkull was amassing a very interesting plan. Now that he knew where the fighting was he was gathering any remaining vehicles to form a mechanized spearhead. This was halted when from the gun emplacements around the base started filling the air with so much lead that it looked to be raining upward.

In Frankfurt. Most of the deadly radiation where the fighting was had subsided. The occasional, yet quick firefight with roaming specter squadron, damaged stalkers, and volatile reapers, could be heard by well hidden militiamen. One of them sat in his ghillie suit in a tree. Well camouflaged, he could see the orks, but they probably couldn’t see him. One group came close to an explosive he had buried beneath the ground. The pushed the button on his detonator and sent about 20 or 30 orks flying, body parts slung about. In another spot, a man clearly trying to emulate Simo Häyä lay covered in mud with his scopeless rifle. He aimed it squarely between the eyes of an ork separated from His group and fired.

Nuremburg, East half

in anticipation of a quick assault, mines, barbed wire, and many other obstacles were placed about all the streets. Gas stations were rigged to Explode, as well as bridges, but with artillery and airstrikes being halted due to radio contact being lost, the orks likely would pick up steam.

Western half

The 6-4 team that had arrived in Nuremberg had just entered their firefight. With minimal cover to retreat, their best option was to gain high ground, fortunately, pilots are mobile, very mobile. Each throw a smoke and a frag grenade, blindly fired an entire magazine into the advancing horde, cloaked themselves, and grappled up the high rises around them. Their objective came in sight, so they acted quickly, jumping from rooftop to rooftop before coming in view of the jammer. They scurried up along the walls like spiders before jumping onto the roof, having an idea of what would greet them. Pilots moved quickly, lunging at the orks with knives and sidearms while one made a run for the jammer. Weber. Weber placed some C4 and thermite on the hammer and jumped away quickly. He detonated it, forcing the jamming tower to lean and ultimately fall over, barreling into the street. Quickly, radio chatter filled the airwaves as artillery and airstrikes were called in, buying the eastern zone more time to build up defenses, and wait for Livonian reinforcements.

Mage Squadron

“I can see the Rok” mage 1 said over the radio.

“Confirmed.” Mages 2, 3, and 4 said in unison.

Mage 3 and 4 quickly lowered their altitude and readied 8ASMs they fired 14 missiles between them, blasting vehicles and artillery.

Mage 1 and 2 descended after. With Ghazghkull in their sights, they fired their auto cannons before pulling a 9g turn to gain altitude before they could come around for another run.

Outskirts of Sol System, Aboard the Unbroken Will

Grand Chaplain Rupprecht Steinhäusl was the first to view the star of the system as they exited the warp. As the Legion serfs continued their work, the Grand Chaplain addressed the Legionnaires who were reciting prayers before battle while the attached Chaplains guided their benedictions wielding thuribles. His voice boomed over the ship's vox 'Brothers, we have arrived. Arise from your prayers, and gather for battle.' As the Chaplianed quenched the thuribles, the smoke began to clear, the marines formed ranks and began to mount the Drop Pods that filled most of the Graf-Zeppelin class ship. Rupprecht then turned to arm himself with his staff of office, The Star of Judgment. Grasping the heavy two handed power weapon, he and his guard went to find their pod, but before that he sent one more vox message over the ship to all that could listen;

'O Emperor, in wrath rejoicing at bloody wars, fierce and untamed, whose mighty power doth make the strongest walls from their foundations shake. All-conquering Master of Mankind, be pleased with this war's tumultuous roar. Delight in swords and fists red with alien blood, and the dire ruins of savage battle. Rejoice in furious challenge, and avenging strife, whose works with woe embitter human life!'

The Harbingers of The Emperor's Word join the War.

972 Zvezda Battalion, Company B
The barracks wreaked of gasoline, polish, and metal. Soon they would move to defensive positions, in which they need to be ready. Flamethrowers were to be used if any heavy resistance was hit. As they began their march towards the Southern Swiss-German border they passed the Lighthouse, home of the President. Some soldiers poked fun at the Imperial Guards stationed out front, other’s began to sing the old world song, “Erika”. Two Flammenwächter’s at the front fired their flamer’s, showing off both to the public, and the guards. A colonel began to mumble “A nation’s old declares the war, and the young must die fighting them.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of the populus had been skeptical on Swiss involvement in the War, claiming that Germany could take care of it, and that calling upon Allied forces for such a neanderthalian army was a waste. However many knew better, the Orks had been a formidable foe against there previous enemy’s, and it would be stupid of the Swiss not to be prepared for an invasion. As such Company's C and D would be heading Southwest, and Company A would soon follow Company B to the Southern German Front.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thun Airfield, 283 Air Wing, Squadron F
FD-37’s began to roll out of hangars in the first time since The Second Blitz of France, checks were done on the engines, and they began to form on the runway, waiting for a launch order. That order wouldn’t come for a while, until a new KE-92 was properly loaded. While not bombs, they were just as potent depending on who got them, which in this case would be the Germans. An hour later and the flight and fight of the Swiss began.

She wondered why there was so much tension

When the man spoke to her, she barely perceived his words. As she observed the rocket. She just nodded her head up and down.
