[CONFLICT]Orsinium Marches South

[u/dreogan]

"Today, my Orc brethren, we ride south to Hammerfell! To war we ride, in the name of Orsinium! We shall conquer their land in the name of the Orc people, as is our right! To war, my People, to war we go!"

Gortwog sat mounted on a large steed, overlooking his bannermen. They all stood in long lines, their Orcish armor giving off a dull sheen in the sunlight. An Orc at his side raised a horn, and gave a loud call. Drums began to beat a steady rhythm, and the army began it's slow march.

Battle Plans

As the Dominion launches their attack from the south, Orsinium will begin it's assualt in the north. An army of 63,000 Orsimer march from Orsinium. They are headed south into Hammerfell, where they will first siege and assault the Duchy of Dragonstar. The Army will split into two, with one army march from the south-east of Orsinium, and the other marching from the south-west. The two armies will converge on either side of the city(or any responding army) and begin their assault.

From there, the armies will March south and east into Bangkorai to occupy the province under the Orsimer banner.

Army	Infantry	Cavalry	Battlemages
South-East	25,000	5,000	1,500
South-West	25,000	5,000	1,500
Total	50,000	10,000	3,000

The remaining 37,000 troops in Orsinium will begin to take up fortified positions in the city and surrounding forts in case of a counter attack.

Orcs didn't stop, every death only made them angrier. A slow, steady drum beat began to rise of the Orc army, a signal they all knew well; the Beserker Rage was upon them . It was something all Orc felt deep inside them, waiting to burst out. Only during battle could they truly release themselves. Only in death were they proven worthy. A roar of pure primal rage let loose from most Orcs in the frontlines, and they turned all if their hatred on the foe at hand.

"Malacath, witness my rage!" Gortwog made the call as he charged into battle, the Daedric artifact Scourge held high above his head for all to see.

As the Orsimer saw the mace of their lord Malacath, a boom of "WITNESS HIM!" was the response. All Orcs lived to fight, and all Orcs fought for a place next to Malacath in the next realm. Their High Chief was no exception, as no Orc was truly alive until the rush of battle hit them full force.

The enraged Orsimer threw themselves into the fray, slaughtering the Yokudans with reckless abandon. For each Orc that fell, two more took his place. They climbed over each other in the rage, scrambling to get in the city. Angered at those climbing over them, many Orcs began to fight each other. Eventually, they are able to defeat the Dragonstar infantry at the gate, and begin to push further into the city.

Meanwhile, the Orsimer cavalry are chased down by the superior (in numbers and training) horsemen of Dragonstar.

Current numbers:

Orsimer: 30,000 infantry; 5,500 cavalry; 2,000 battlemages

Dragonstar: 40,000 infantry; 7,500 cavalry; 1,000 battlemages

[Orc cavalry wouldn't be fleeing. They have Welwa which are like, rhinos.]

Those are the Iron Orcs that train them, a completely separate group.
