He was reading a book and had a cup of tea next to him. A knock on the door had taken his attention from his book and to the one at his door. “Enter” Griff Beak said. An Imperial Courier entered the door and saluted to Griff Beak, then kneeled before him. “Your majesty, I have news from the front” the courier said. “Oh, well then tell me” Griff Beak said motioning for the courier to rise. The courier than rose and proceeded to tell him the news. “General Iron Wing’s forces have swept the two Guard Fortress’s on the way to Cantor lot. Griffin Stone has now been filled with our wounded and sick, the watch tower to the north has been recaptured by Equestrian forces but we suspect that they will use it to hold their wounded. Intelligence, however believes that Princess Twilight Sparkle has been rounding up volunteers for a make shift Militia, we however cannot confirm that information. Last thing is that General Iron Wing has requested reinforcements to the southern front because he believes that our presence there is not big enough” The courier finished. Griff Beak heard the news and began thinking. He couldn’t just send some soldiers to the south, he had very little reserves left. If Gabriel hadn’t lost the Monomachía to that meddle some Black Feather than this wouldn’t have been a problem. However, the ante for the Monomachía was that Gabriel’s personal army couldn’t take any action in the war what so ever. The Imperial Guards could do it but they weren’t tough enough as the Legionnaires. His personal battalion wasn’t enough to get a strong presence in the south so. Griff Beak then got a devious grin and turned towards the courier. “Go and fetch me the Colonel the Vector Brigade. Tell him I wish to speak to him immediately” Griff beak said. “Yes, my Emperor” the courier kneeled and left to follow his order. Griff Beak stood and walked towards the window and evilly smirked. “Now Princess we’ll see if you are ready to go through what It takes to fight a war”
