Commander Count Von Hoof looked across the smouldering ruins of the once beautiful capital of Equestria, it's once proud spires and battlements now rubble, and it's streets filled with hostile soldiers, baying for the blood of the Demonic Sisters who had for so long ruled over it. He felt a strong breath of air on the back of his neck, and despite the thick power armor he wore it still made his mane stand up on end.

 

"Congratulations, commander." Grunted Grand Marshal Ironhorn. "Your victory here will not go unnoticed by the council."

 

"I simply did my duty, your lordship." Said Hoof, not daring to make contact with the dark visor that covered the Marshal's eyes. "Our Princess is watching over us this day."

 

"Indeed she is, Commander." Ironhorn looked over the ruined city. There was nothing like a good crusade to get the blood pumping. "Survivors?"

 

"Most citizens fled, but a few still remain."

 

"The injured, the disabled, the young and the frail. Send message to the reeducation program that their work can begin immediately." His voice deepened. "Execute all who resist."

 

"Of course, my lord." Said Hoof. He felt a pang in his stomach. Mindless war and genocide didn't bring him the same joy it had brought his father. It was because of him that he was on this crusade, to prove himself he was worthy of becoming a Unicorn lord. If this was what it took to be nobility, he wasn't sure he liked it.

 

"Now we a have removed the head of the heretical government, it is time to take out the brain. The demonic sisters are rumored to be hiding in the city of Manehattan, still under indigenous control."

 

"Sir" Protested Von Hoof "We took many casualties in the battle. My soldiers need to rest."

 

"Blood and flesh is the foundation of the Imperium, Von Hoof. There can be no war without bloodshed, there can be no unity without war. There can be no unity without peace. I am the Grand Marshal here, and it doesn't matter who your father was, I will not tolerate insubordination from my commanders. I do not care if you are a Unicorn, I am an Alicorn! A direct decsendent of the Princess herself! And I have the authority to wipe you off this plane of reality if I see fit. Do I make myself clear, Von Hoof?" Growled Ironhorn.

 

"Y-yes sir."

 

"Good. We march on Manehattan as soon as possible. The Princess protects."
