Manuel get more and more honor from is knights in the dark fleet. Bryan joined the dark fleet, and Manuel had the perfect tactic for a brainwash. Now is the Shaulanca Fleet more mightfull.
The meeting between Derutius and Manuel was for Manuel very good. How they both met each other, is a interesting story. As Manuel enters the dark room, and he saw Manuel, he said: ''Who are you?''
Manuel comes closer to him and he was very surprised. Manuel began to speak with him...
[color=#000000][font=Book Antiqua]I can't trust my eyes. You are it really? DERUTIUS!? I thought you are fallen in one of the battles against the Bretonia Armed Forces!. Where were you the whole time? Do you remember how I met you? In a fight where you fought for the Rheinland Military against the Red Hessians. My Fleet had a lot of problems in this fight. I never thought that Hessians could be so dangerous. However, it was good for the Shaulanca Fleet that you came and helped us in the fight.
Do you know that the Shaulanca Fleet call this fight ''The orange battle'' ?
Its because of the orange cloud in Omega 7. After we killed all of this damn Hessians, we flought to the Freeport in Omega 3 and drunk some nice drinks. You told me that you are a Rheinland Freelancer.
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel begins to laugh...
A Rheinland Freelancer, and now? What do you are? You are a knight of the darkness and thats just because you got not enough money as Freelancer. But there exist better things than money. Yes! a true faith! The dark faith! It was the best decision you can make would have. My knights of the Fleet liked you, I mean, who wants to help a dark Fleet like ours? I'm sure a lot of people would do it but eehm...
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel's voice drops and he says:
The most of the people who help us, will be kidnapped by us and we jail them. Not friendly? Maybe they want just get informations about our fleet and they are spys. If we like the persons who help us, then its just luck for the person. You could say it's big luck that you're standing here today with your equipment and your clothing! What would become of you, if we would not like you? Maybe you would be now a slave. We select our people, and if we don't like them, then will our prisonliner Abandoned.Hope like them. However, Derutius. You should come later to me, I have no time right now. You remember Martelus? He will come back soon. After I spoke with him, I will come to you.
[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]That said Manuel to Derutius... and now... some days later... Martelus is there! Manuel goes to the main hall where Kodian Martelus and Enriqueta are. He says hello to both of them and that in some hours a party will start for Kodian Martelus. The believers from the dark religion and some dark knights will do everything for the party, while Manuel, Enriqueta and Martelus make a prayer in the woods.
[color=#663333][font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Two hours later, after Manuel, Martelus and Enqiqueta came back from the dark woods with fog, the party starts in the church. Enriqueta, Martelus and Manuel enter together the church. Enriqueta is on the left side of Manuel, and Martelus on the right side.
[color=#000000]<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%][font=Book Antiqua][color=white] ... piano music everywhere ...
[color=#000000][font=Book Antiqua]Now we are in the church and we have time to speak together. Enriqueta,...
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel puts his hand on Enriqueta's shoulder and he says:
you should really meet Martelus. You know how I mean that. Not just a Hello!
[font=Arial Narrow]and he smiles in a totally wrong style. He turns to the right side and loses the lady Enriqueta out of his eyes.
Martelus my old friend! I didn't said before more than just a Hello to you, excuse me for that but a prayer is important. Its good you're here. How you can see, we make now this party! Just for you! Its good you are back. There are some other knights of the Fleet here. You should tell me what you did whole the time.
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel raises his hand and a believer brings some drinks. Manuel drinking a sip....
Martelus look back to his master but with care that his face will not reveal.
"Thank you my master, for the party and for praying togheter with me. You ask me where I was all this time, well I don't know where to be honest. I remember that after my last fight in Bretonia I got hit by a missile and blackout, then I woke up in a filed that i could not see outisde or in my ship. All systems were offline. Then, some ships came to me, I don't know what ships were those, never saw before and then I blackout again. When I woke up I was in some sort of room, with candels and there was no tehnology. They told me that my armor has been bronken and they will fix it, Master, that armor is a relic of our dark faih since is the only one left since I leave Virula. I brought the armor with me it will need some more time to fix it on my own that's why i wear this hood on my face, as you know, the old knights of the dark faith never revelat their face, so I didn't showed my face since the initiation day when I was entrusted with this wonderfull relic. The armor for the dark knights was like their body, and thei actual body was the soulf the the armor. So my master, I am very sorry that I was gone for so long, but those peoples that took care of me told me that I was too bad injured to let me go. They let me pray to our gods, they gave me food and water, they took good care of me and made me promise I will never reveal thier colony. But I am back now my Master and soon enought my armor will be and I will be returning back in the Sirius to spred our tru faith, to save the true belivers and to burn the heretics who denie us"
Then Martelus goes to the party to salute the new knights and the old ones and to share the very old stories of the dark faith and his family heritage left to him: His mighty armor and sword of the dark faith.
Manuel was very quiet while Martelus spoke. As Martelus walked to the other knights to say he is back, Manuel follows him and put his hand on his shoulder from behind.
Martelus! You can not just walk away before I said you anything. But because you had a hard time in the last half year, I'll forget that. Its great that your armory will still be mightful in the future. Thats luck!
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel sighs..
And I thought you were dead Kodian Martelus! You know that our Fleet would then be not so mightful then.... Eh..
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel looks nervously because the conversations of people were hired and all looked at Manuel...
I mean... if you were dead, it would be not any problem. You know me, Smith! Manuel Smith! You really think that I would care if you would be dead? Not really. I'll see what I'll do now. You can enjoy the party, I still have a lot of things to do.
[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Apparently, this was the likeable and yet quite ordinary page of Manuel. The Faith and the brainwashing of Eldeson Watson makes Manuel to a completely different person. If Manuel would stop to believing in the faith, he would die. Either he would kill himself, Eldeson Watson would do it, or his fleet would accuse him treason.
The doors of the church opens wide and the a big human siluet is spoted. It was Martelus returning from his mission of spreding the word of the Dark Faith in Sirius. His mission was to go to Liberty in the New York system in a ship that pilots were not affraid of him, that would make his mission far more easier and if something wrong would happen he would escape more easier in a small vessel. His master made him Dark Propreator wich made him even more faithfull to Manuel Smith. Martelus now know that Manuel Smith trust Martelus and now he is even more loyal to his master. Now Martelus answers to no one but his master Manuel that makes him defend the Dark Faith even with more ferocity that he was so far. He is now trying to make from himself a example for his brothers, he tries to dedicate himself entirely to the churh and his belives. So today he went in Liberty to find more followers and true believers but Martelus found something else. Nothing that he will espect to find out. As Martelus walks inside the church he is going right into Manuel Smith's room.
"My master first of all I am here to tell you that I finaly fixed my armor. Today I went in Liberty as I already told you I will to find new followers to come to us and prey for their souls to be saved. But my master. I found something more. There was two creatures I had never saw them before in space, they were blue and small and their ships were like glass, you could see through them. The others around called them nomads. They do not speak our language, I mean they do, but in a manner I never saw it before. It was like they were inside my head. Like it was my subconscious speaking, but I know it wasn't because my subconscious talks only about dark faith and protecting our master. Thy were talking about the end of all humans but they weren't aggressive with me or the others around. But of course that changed when the Liberty forces reached the place we were there. One of the creatures vanished, leaving the other alone there. A Liberty war ship come there and he start shooting at the creature, but this is not all, they called for another war ship and two more fighters beloging to some Security Forces. In that fight a human pilot joined the creature in fight, but it was already too late as a bounty hunter gunship was already there shooting after the creature. Master are those creature so dangerous that required more than three thousand men just to kill a fighter? I mean two Dreadnaught's crew, one Gunship crew and two more fighter pilots were all chaseing the creature and the pilot. You have been longer then me in this part of galaxy called Sirius Master, so i suppose you should know better then all. Here is all my footage taken during my mission there."
Martelus remove a disk from his armor and inserts it into Manuel Smith computer.
"Both the creature and the pilot who was helping it were destroyed. I don't know if they escaped since I was already retreating from there, It was too risky to stay around with those two war ships."
Manuel was very quiet while Martelus spoke. Manuel is actually not curious but this story does interest him because of the called ''Nomads''
This data disk is very interesting Martelus. This proofs that the Liberty Navy is nearly the same like the Bretonia Armed Forces. We should be careful in the future if we see Liberty Navy Dreadnoughts. We should say the other dark knights that some of them fly with the bombers the next time. However, back to the mysterious blue ships. It was like they were inside of you? What they did exactly? I've never seen before blue glass ships or something. They really don't look like humans.
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel stopped to speak for a minute and he laugh evil. He thougt the blue glass ships could fight for him, however he don't know who and what for ships that are.
[font=Book Antiqua]Anyway, back to the battleships of the Liberty Navy. I don't know why but it seems like so that the Liberty Navy has in the last time a lot of war ships. We should try to destroy them. We need to be careful because of the escorts. We can not risk it to attack a Battleship of them with a lot of defending escort ships. The war ships could be a problem for our Fleet. Martelus? We have still some epidemic guns on board of the Shaulanca Battleship. We should take them, and try to bomb the planets of Bretonia and Liberty to show them, that they can not fear us with the war ships.
[font=Book Antiqua]
The Captains of the Battleships will see the Darkness,
The Darkness will get the Captains and destroy her ships.
Her ships are just like a shield for them, without they are nothing.
Shields are important, but the best shield in the universe is our dark faith. You just need to believe strong enough in it and you are stronger than all other people in the universe.
The Darkness is strong enough to break every shield,
The Darkness would be even strong enough to break our shield.
However the Darkness will never do that, but she is powerful enough to destroy everything.
Darkness,
cold,
epidemics,
frost,
dark fog.
[size=small]The Shaulanca will attack every infidel enemy ship and shoot with her powerful epidemic guns.
The ships of the infidel enemies will fall into the darkness.
The people inside of the ships will just freeze because the ships will be very cold in the darkness.
There will be frost, everywhere on the outside of the ships.
People will cry because it's so cold, but to cry doesn't help them.
They can't escape because every door in the ship is frozen. The engines of the ships will stop forever and all systems will stop to work. The people will die and the ship will disappear in dark fog in the deep darkness.
Thats the darkness, Martelus. The dark side of the darkness of the humanity.
My master, the power of Darkness grow every day inside humanity. They grow weeker every day. Soon the darkness will consume them from inside and they won't even know it. All peoples that I've met are thinking only for their life pleasures, none of them thinks of their souls, and that is the biggest mistake they are doing. Our lifes are shor, we can live for a thousand years, or die in just a second. Our soul will live forever, but the question is: Where and how will he live?
We all know about our hell. And my soul will never go that way. I don't want to spent the eternity in pain and suffering. In the hands of the demons and creatures and the other painfull things that lurks in the deep holes of the hell. I want for my soul to spent his eternity near our Dark Lord, to serve him in afterlife how I served him in this one. I want to watch over my new brothers after I am gone, to see how they keep their faith strong, and to protect them, just how we are master.
But the peoples can't understand that. They think credits are more important. They are, but for how long? What could you do with your credits in the hell? Creatures and Demons don't need credits, they need only your soul, to burn it for hundrets of years in their tar boilers, to laught at your pain and suffering. That is what peoples need to understand. Is either they join us and their soul will be cleansed or they will die and suffer for the eternity! I never felt guilty when I sent peoples on the Abandoned Hope and I will never feel guilty. There they will be prepared for the hell, there they will fell the pain that their souls will fell for the eternity. Is the only way, only showing them what will be experience in the hell.
If they think they can make us run, they better think again. Because we will never run from a fight! We will never backdown! We will never loose our faith! Because only in death does our duty end, and sometimes, even beyond death. And aswe all know THE BLOOD OF MARTYRS IS THE SEED OF THE DARK FAITH ! WE WILL NEVER FORGET VILUTRA AND OUR VILUTRANS BROTHERS !
Manuel was quiet for a while and he is surprised...
Martelus, It was not a bad choice to choose you as Dark Propreator of my dark Fleet. You are mighty enough as far I can see.
They all think at money. Every house! They aren't interested in faiths or people. They just want money. Poor people! However they do not know that her soul can be cleaned. The dark faith of our Fleet could change their view. You know Martelus, for some time ago I met one sweet women. At this time she worked for the Liberty Security Force. I don't know if she do life still today, but she was one of the less people from Militarys and other house cooperations who want to believe in a faith. However what could she do? I told her that she should leave the Liberty Security Force and begin a new life. She didn't. I think I know why.
I think she was scared that Liberty would hunt her. Liberty! Freedom! It doesn't care what you are or who you are, but you need to be a part of Liberty. If you leave Liberty you are a betrayer. I can understand that Liberty would hunt her, but to hunt her reinforced?
I don't know Liberty pretty well but I know one thing: The government of Liberty is the reason for the behaviour of the people. We should find one of the government people and bring them to our dark forest at Gran Canaria. We should hunt them through the forest! We should jail them and give them a brainwash. What would happen with Liberty? Liberty will probably be a better house then. But why should we do that? Why should we help this damn Libertonians? We would help them! And I'm sure the poor people who have not many money in Liberty would even be not grateful. Over the years they began to love himself. It is the same like Bretonia. However. I can say it again and again: All the people who do not believe in a faith are crazy. The darkness will show them what they have to do...
However, Martelus. We need to go back to Bretonia now. Some of our dark knights found a Gunboat patrol in the Leeds system. Let us go...
[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Martelus takes his sword and Manuel his black short coat....
As usual with Enriquetta, she just showed up from a room, without much warning.
She walked towards Manuel Smith
Hello boss, I have interesting news. A slave ring was identified. It's out of house space but I suspect their destination is somewhere in Rheinland, or Bretonia. If I can get to intercept and capture a vessel we will find a few more grunts to help or have fun with, you pick. I'll just get them here, though I can't promise them to arrive healthy...
Manuel was quiet for some seconds and he didn't said anything...why?...
Sounds very dangerous Enriquetta, it doesn't?
You womens need a long time to understand that the space is very dangerous, and when you understand it, it is too late. However slaves? That sounds good and we can need them. Soon we will build a hidden base...
I wish you good luck Enriquetta, but...
[font=Arial Narrow]Manuel takes one knive of many knives and daggers from the inside of his black short coat and give it Enriquetta....
[font=Book Antiqua]Take it! If you need to land at a planet or a base then you could need it. You can even throw it, it is a kind of throwing Knive. Be carefull...
Butcher took the knife, examining it carefully. She was not used to others caring much for her, it was a strange feeling, it was a very long time ago...
Ummm... Thanks.
I'll contact you when I have mapped the trade route
That said, butcher quickly walked away and disappeared into the shadows of the church.
