News had arrived of the destruction in Cape Newport. The Order of the Armored Goat heard the news with dismay and shock. Charged with the defense of the Hegemony now, the knights had not given a second thought to anything regarding their involvement. The Natopian Defense Force should have jurisdiction against the terrorists.
However, the Armored Goats were technically under the direct command of the Tyrant of Doza and therefore considered the guard of the Church. The declaration of Holy War from the Butter Bull effectively bypassed the NDF and turned this act of terrorism into a Crusade of the Order of the Armored Goat.
Knowing the battle would take place deep within the Great Hazel Woods worried the Knight Commanders of the Order. The myths of the Woods being unforgiving were a serious concern for the waging of this Crusade. The Order was mobilizing an Eisboyle class troop assault ship to give the Goats direct access to the known locations of the terrorists in the Woods.
Under the command of a Knight Commander, the AGS Timoreomai (Vengeance) was to leave Hergon's naval base and make port at Fort Newport's naval base to take on the Divine Lord and Master; the Butter Bull himself was to personally lead the Crusade.
The full complement of 18 assault ships was filled with 450 total troops specially trained for forest and jungle warfare. Upon making port at Fort Newport the Butter Bull was to perform a special Herd to bless the troops to make them more protected against the spirit/anti-spirit magic used as the Hazels' main weapon.
