( a vietnam in the snow... in the snow... a fitting image of hell...)

By receiving the ultimatum. The Senate undertook a purge of the research circles. Anyone likely to leak information was "dismissed". The researchers were barricaded in fortified industrial complexes located under the cities. Civilians were no longer in contact with research-related personnel.

The direct threat triggered the emergency procedure. All air access were sealed. Ventilation hatches cleverly camouflaged by the greatest artists. Caches of arms, provisions and care were hidden in the frozen mountains and forests. The underground accesses were trapped with powder bombs, which will make the tunnels collapse. And the population prepared to support a siege of several months.

A large amount of resources were imported before the closure of the trade routes to ensure a minimum of self-sufficiency. The hunters were called back. And an official letter, informing of the end of the relations with his commercial ally, in order to protect the latter was sent. If Faillard falls, the Empire will not take its allies in its fall.

Pouches of powder were distributed to the officers, to be used like primitive grenade in the tunnels. But the extremely limited amount of this experimental weapon does not allow to equip each company. Only the troops in charge of the defense of the tunnels were equipped.

Finally, an official response was written to the demonic army and stealthily dispatched by arrow.

"Me! Fayard Lukas, have received your request.

However, Iam in the regret to inform you that this ultimatum is unacceptable. Our limited production just allows us to meet our mineral extraction needs. And is in no state to be export.

Moreover, such demands are worthy of barbaric behavior. Brutes knowing only violence to get what they could not get by right!

That is why! I ask you to back down on your requests. Otherwise we will be forced to respond to your threats with the means we deem necessary.

Sincerely yours.

Fayard Lukas."
