 Following the fall of Castle Tempelhof, the work of Isabella was not yet done. The rogue vampire calms still held a great deal of eastern Sylvania. Further expansion was greatly needed. Although strong in the necromantic ways, the Von Karstein's coffers were all but empty, and lack of wealth begets even more vultures. Then the smell of rotting corpses. Faced with the threat of financial collapse, Vlad chooses to return to Schwarzehaven. Daring the fight as a necromancer was set to attack the Von Karstein's home. How foolish of him. The battle was a fine exercise. Undead Hound stalls through the enemy's own as vile geists and bats attack the necromancer from above. Although Vlad's forces were severely unnumbered, his powerful presence and renowned undead regiments proved more than a match to the meagre necromancer's rabble in his even more meagre abilities. Vlad's powers kept the bats and vile geists alive and naturally so, even as he single-handedly slaughtered the walking dead by the dozen. The army was eventually dispatched and sent to the wind once the necromancer fell unconscious. He didn't manage to escape, but not for long. Meanwhile, Isabella struck at the first bastion of Eastern Sylvania. Eschen fell and a much-needed foothold in Eastern Sylvania was established. Despite advances, the enemy moves as well. Organized rebellion forces loyal to the Empire rode against Vlad's rule. Remains of the necromancer's army retreating through the moot have the unfortunate luck to cross paths with the Imperial rebels. Unwise as Vlad uses their position to viciously ambush the weakling rebels with the aid of the moot's loyalists, it's a slaughter only made better by the screams of the living. As the enemy finds himself between a rock and a hard place, the rebels are summarily chased down and executed. Loyalty is something Vlad insists upon. Although Isabella's army possesses the high ground, it is seemingly at a disadvantage for its fewer numbers. For that very reason, Manfred orders his army to stand down expecting Isabella to have to come to him instead of him to her. He is woefully mistaken if he thinks that she cannot harm him from afar. Isabella's magic is not to be underestimated. The lady walks down the sloped hill and targets Manfred with a singular torrent of dark magic. If he will not come to her, then she will simply squish him with her magics. The enemy army begins its attack. Isabella's squads are carefully positioned to optimal effect. Her two zombie regiments are at the forefront, ready to receive the blunt of the enemy attack. The squads of dire hounds and black knights will act as reserves, striking wherever Manfred's undead falter. As the two armies engage, Manfred's lines break formation, trying to overwhelm Isabella's small allegiance. However, their attempts to surround our forces are woefully unsuccessful. Once again, Isabella uses her magic to give life, so to speak, to a regiment of zombies behind enemy lines, in fact, just forcing them to fight in two fronts. There are many more forces in the fight, of course. Currently engaged are the Batts and the Fears Regiment of Renown, which will indeed attack from behind. The sheer force that Manfred finds himself with and forces the Lord to his knees. He is carried away by several undead, but not before. Our army makes short work of his. At last, the binding spells that keep the enemy undead crumble, and Manfred's army turns to dust. Let that be a lesson for the young boncast. I'm never to turn his back on the true Lords and progenitors of his skin. This ends the second chapter of our tale, with Manfred's first loss to Isabella. Next time, perhaps, he shall be more guarded against her. Thank you for taking the time to watch this. I've been meaning to do something more narrative for a while now, and since I loved of War Warhammer and Warhammer in its entirety, I thought this might be the best thing to start off with.
