The March of Cibola

[Guest]

Xan stood at the center of the center island, which was on top of his Cibolan Tower, facing the multitude of people gathered before him. The people had gathered to listen to their leader speak about the war that the men and women had been preparing for since the founding of the nation of Cibola. The ships had already been prepared, and all that was left was to board them. But before that could happen, Xan had ordered a gathering. Even people from the other islands were either present, or they were listening to the speech from a radio or a communication tower.

The King of Cibola hushed the crowd of people by simply raising his right hand, then he began to speak. His voice was amplified, so that everyone on the center island could hear him perfectly, regardless of their position on the island.

L'ascensione ha iniziato ed un nuovo potere sorge! È la vittoria è a portata di mano!
(The ascension has begun, and a new power is rising! It's victory is at hand!)

The people cheered, knowing that the new power was indeed Cibola.

Questa notte, la terra sarà macchiata con il sangue di Creta.
(This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Creta.)

Xan allowed the people to absorb the impact of his words before continuing.

La Resistenza ed i Lupi Neri attaccheranno Creta primo, dall'est ed il nord rispettivamente. Cibola, lei attaccherà dal mare, non avendo quasi alcuna resistenza dal tempo che lei atterra, finché il tempo che lei raggiunge la Città Capitale di Creta. L'esercito cretese sarà diviso lungo quattro davanti e lei avrà il minimo del loro esercito per lottare con. Questo è il suo tempo! L'ora è venuta!
(The Resistance and the Black Wolves will attack Creta first, from the east and north respectively. Cibola, you will attack from the sea, having almost no resistance from the time that you land, until the time that you reach the Capital City of Creta. The Cretan army will be divided along four fronts, and you will have the least of their army to contend with. This is your time! The hour has come!)

This time, Xan simply spoke above the cheering of his people. The people of the army were raising their weapons and their banners, while the people raised their fists.

Navigare a Creta, partire nessuno vivo che osa per l'opporre!
(Sail to Creta, leave none alive who dare to oppose you!)

The cheering of the people rose in volume by a decent amount. Xan decided that it was time to finish the speech...



Nel nome dell'Illuminati, io, Diligenza di Cicatrice di Xanthus la comanda, Cibola....Alla Guerra!
(In the name of the Illuminati, I, Xanthus Cicatrice Diligenza command you, Cibola.....To War!)
[Yes, that is Xan's full name. It means Xanthus Scar Diligence]

The people roared their approval of Xan's speech, and the members of the army and navy began to march to their respective ships. In Xan's mind, images of Take, Kenya, and himself were plentiful as he considered what he was about to do. Then, one of his servants informed him that his flagship, the Nautilus, was waiting for him.

Banishing his thoughts, Xan whistled, and his multi ton dragon chimera, Quicksilver came to his side. Xan whispered something into his steed's ear, and Quicksilver shot off to the main Port of Cibola, where Xan's ship awaited him.

Xan thought to himself that there would be no dawn for his enemies.

Darkamaru had been standing near Xan during the speech. The people of La Cerise filled a fraction of the crowd that had gathered and he smiled, knowing that Xan had done well in making the people known of their enemy.After the speech, he walked to Xan. "Well done. I think we will win the war if this many people support us. Not only will the soldiers be ready, but now even the civilians will arm themselves in case of Cretan attacks. I have to hand it to you, this country is fairly new and already you have found the support of every person in it."

Xan looked over at Pride with a grin on his face.

Thank you darkamaru, I think that the reasons that the people are so loyal to me are that they owe me a debt of eternal gratitude, and they think that my power is great in this world. They are, of course right on both of those counts.
