Conquest: Darkness Rises

Episode 10: Victory in Russia

Frame was silent as he stared at the large empty courtyard in front of him. It was true Moscow was abandoned there was no life in it at all and to top that the prisons were empty as well, but from the Russian Reports it seemed they let the Prisoners go in a attempt to flee in a desperate attempt to flee Moscow before the Army arrived.

Though his Army did not Enter Moscow....Not yet at least he along with the others had to see if the City was fully abandoned and if it wasn't they would find them and take them prisoner. Though the first Regiment to go with Frame and the others to search the City was of course the Guard who stormed into every house aiming their weapons through the door's as they searched them, but never found anyone.

This cycle continued until they regrouped to search the upper layer's of the city, but that's when they came face to face with....it....the greatest Stronghold in the World....The Kremlin.

From this close up it was majestic, a beauty one of the oldest and most well Defended Stronghold in the World right before their eye's if there was any place were the Enemy would be hiding it was most likely there.

"Captain, take half of you men to search the building's, and for this rest storm the Kremlin and search every last inch of it." Frame spoke to the Captain as he sat on his horse, but the Captain only nodded and ran away to give the orders and with it came the cycle of the Guard breaking into the houses and Searching them one by one.

As for the Kremlin the Guard sent to storm it had rushed into the main doorway opening it as they stormed in followed by Frame who hadn't even left his horse outside, but rather he rode it inside following his Guard.

As Frame watched the Guard had split up going through the hallway's that were to his left and right, but several had went up the stairs to check the upper floors which he was what he was going to do as well as he rode his horse up the stairs following the Guard until they reached a large Empty room followed by other Empty room's.

"There's no-one." Frame slowly got off his horse only to have a lone Guard Soldier take the reins of his horse and soon to be followed by several Guard Soldiers who ran into the room.

"Search the place!" Frame shouted to the men as they ran past him to search the entire building, but by the end of the hour they returned to him with no reports of anyone in the building or the city....it was true, Moscow was abandoned to them.

For Hours Frame heard the constant Cheering and same music being played as the Army marched through Moscow in the Hundreds with their victory cheers flooding the air of the City like it was a storm. Though now it was time for him to have his little conference with Brandon and Malcom considering they still had to look for at least something in the city and the Kremlin.

"They can't have left very long ago." Brandon spoke as the three walked down one of the Empty hallway's going room by room as they walked.

"What if it's a trap." Malcom spoke next as he walked alongside Frame holding his Hat with his left arm.

"Your right to be suspicious Malcom, but Russian's are warriors, not Murder's who await in the Dark." Frame spoke to Malcom as they kept walking pointing out a few things of interest as they did.

"Funny sort of Warriors, they had been fleeing for week's." Malcom spoke again clearly making fun of how the Russian's had been running ahead of them for the time they had invaded Moscow.

"Well we beat them at Ryazan, but I doubt the Russian Army in Europe will return considering they are still at war." Brandon spoke up again looking at Malcom as they walked.

"I don't believe their retreating out of panic, but for tactical Reasons." Frame looked around as he spoke they were getting closer to where he wanted to investigate next.
