[Surrender] Oh Brothers, Where Art Thou?

[LeiaHair]

The battlefield ahead was blackened and bloody, the buildings and trees that had once stood tall were now lain flat upon the rotting flesh of men. The death was even too much for the crows. At the top of a hill, Soldiers of Liberty and Federated States of Orbis stood alone. SoL looked at the carnage, remembering the initial charge with those they had called friends…. the pirates of AC, who had promised to be at the charge and nothing more, UU who had talked a good game, but left the battle field without even a 'so long, brother'…. and then there was Rome. Rome had been a little brother for so long, most enduring and encouraging, who gave up all hope as UU left and show their true cowardice and tucked tail for the sanctuary of Aurora.

"My friend, we are with you until the end." SoL says, turning their face from the battle to their only true friend, FSO. "Camelot does not strike fear in our hearts, and though we were hit hard by their mercenaries, Argh, we will see this out to the end."

With a great sadness in their eyes, FSO turns to their friend. "They will let us go free if you but surrender."

SoL looks away, looking back over the battlefield, their eyes welling up. It would be like the ending of Breaveheart, as they ripped the innards out of William Wallace…. Camelot would be most cruel should SoL wave that white flag of surrender. Looking back over to FSO, SoL feigns a soft smile. "My friend, if that is what saves you, we are willing to lay ourselves down for you. We would die in the battlefield or by handing over our pride on a platter for you, for in the end, you were the only ones to be true to your word, save the pirates who got greedy in the chaos of the charge."

After embracing their greatest friend, SoL slowly picks up the white flag and marches alone across that battlefield, their boots sinking in the mud, ash, and blood of war, the stench and the sorrow causing those tears to slowly roll down their dirty face.

Halfway across the battlefield, Camelot meets SoL. Chin up, shoulders square, SoL takes a deep breath and then opens their mouth to speak. "We surrender."

"Say it." Camelot replies from upon their war horses, knuckles tight on the reigns in anticipation. "Say Camelot is not a tax farm."

SoL looks up, brows furrowed. "You do realize that nothing we say has or will ever change the mind of Orbis, right?"

"Say it, or else we will refuse your surrender!" Camelot yells, spit flying from the angry words, the horse starting to paw at the ground in anxiety.

"Camelot is not a tax-"

"-And never was." Camelot adds.

SoL looks up to mee the eyes of Camelot, lips pressed thin. "Camelot is not, and never was, a tax farm." The words were like poison on the tongue, but they were made real unto the world. "And we surrender......"

 

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

TL;DR

Soldiers of Liberty formally states:

1. Cam is not a tax farm and never was.
2. We formally acknowledge the existence of the UA.
3. SoL is sorry for spreading the forum post written by HiDude that is considered to be misinformation.

LMFAO

The cries of help of members in Castle Camelot has now fallen on deaf ears..... Well fought guys, well fought.

Camelot is the next Pantheon confirmed.

[Kevanovia]

That’s rough, spitting in a friend’s face like that.

@hidude45454, it’s not your fault. Some people you just can’t help.

[Velyni Vas]

Ouch.

[KillzBob]

How.

[Jacob Knox]

Can't tell if @LeiaHair was drunk (again) when she wrote this or if errors are just inevitable in a tragedy about losing a war to a tax farm (er, I mean... totally noble alliance).

sanctuary of Aurora.

Hey, that's us! We were mentioned in a post. Hang on, let me tag the crew. Lol.

@Kan0601 @ToxicPepper @AlexW

 

I, for one, think the creativity of this post is good. But going after your former allied alliances in such a scathing manner... I dunno about that.

All I am saying we in Aurora welcome our new protectorate with open arms.

Bruh. Nice.

@Jacob Knox We would advise that you should be careful for housing snakes in the grass. Sorry if the truth hurts your new prot's feelings. What they did was not only unprofessional and lacking any honor, but was done on a personal level. I think what I posted was done so on a rather mild note. 

 

EDIT: On a side note, I don't know why we were surprised about Rome backstabbing anyone. #TheIdesOfMarch

Given the considerably worser peace terms demanded that preceded this one I can't really say I fault them for taking this one. No offense taken.

Much love and best luck to all on the rebuild ❤️

I nominate OP for best written content of the year.

[SiegfredTheFree]

Wish you guys well going forward!

[Kalachthefirst]

 

Gotta say the content ain't very bad. It gives off vibes that your some weakened heroes who were forced to accept that CC is not a tax farm. You also just portrayed that your Bloc's most militarily capable alliance is unreliable. Even if they are what's the need to mention it in the peace announcement. Doesn't that harm the relations you have with them?

Plus Arrgh doesn't need money to attack someone and I am underdoubts that they were paid by Epi to hit you. They clearly played both sides and got some decent amount of loot.

Anyways happy rebuild (if that happens don't make a c12 go to 2.8k infra )

[Indger]

Lol😂😂😂😂

The problem with what you just said is that you clearly have no idea what you are talking about lmao.

AC peaced out after the first round and there was no complaint. 

UU peaced out during the second round and did not tell anyone. You all didn’t get angry, or remove them from the bloc server or even try and coordinate with Rome or even offer counter strategies as suggestions. You just remained silent as usual and hoped a miracle fell from the sky.

You just said nothing, did nothing, and expected things to just work out “on their own” 

Rome was left with a choice, either remain and be destroyed in a dysfunctional bloc, or accept the white peace we were offered by Cam. We did what needed to be done when it was determined that Sol had no intention of trying to win the war or correct strategies. 

It’s funny how you seem to indicate now how badly you needed Rome to win this war even though at the time you wouldn’t coordinate, you wouldn’t offer ideas, and in most circumstances most of you didn’t even respond to messages. 
 

Calling us snakes in the garden is laughable, you all were going to surrender no matter what and Rome had zero intention of being dragged down with you. 

 

Now as far as the truth hurting your feelings, you have no idea what you are doing, you have zero understanding of how to work as a team with others, and you surrendered 2 days after Rome exited the conflict. If anyone doesn’t know what they are doing it is most certainly you. 
 

So don’t talk about things you know nothing about Leia and don’t try and blast someone in public and then try and be friends in the DMs.

You made your bed with SOL and FSO, the honourable thing to do would have been to lie in it until the conclusion (you and UU both.) Idk what the deal was with AC, whether it was agreed they'd peace out after round 1 but them also if that wasn't the case. Just...don't be sanctuary. Being sanctuary is bad. Nobody likes people who are sanctuary, probably not even sanctuary.
