The real fun to think about? Twilight probably has a Army bigger than the Crystal Legions that Cadance and Shining inherited from Sombra and that army is bigger than Equestrias Royal Guard. Only reason Equestria never fell is Celestia.
7304796 She's clearly been playing for a Cultural Victory the past thousand years. Opera houses ain't cheap.
7304796 I know it's largely implied that Celestia's reign has been 100% peaceful for the time since Luna's banishment, I find that a little hard to swallow even in the show canon, but I'm choosing to interpret it as no actual wars occurred specifically on Equestrian soil. This lack of conflict as well as the lack of aggression from neighbouring countries has led to a gradual demilitarisation as diplomacy took over (not forgetting that the world needs ponies controlling the sun and moon to survive as far as we know), leading to the position Equestria has in this fic where they have militarised bodies like the Wonderbolts and Royal Guard, but no actual standing army.
Also a super powerful alicorn with control over the sun and moon was probably one hell of a bargaining chip in the don't fuck with Equestria stakes.
How do you update so fast?
7304882 Celestia is a hell of a force multiplier all on her own. And as you noted before, she is friends with dragons snd gryphons. The same groups Mareitania needed to ask Celestia for help even though it did have a large army.
Not even going to mention the new addition to the MLF in the notes are you?
As long as you broadcast in some way that time has passed you should be ok. Running a war is a long term thing, weeks and months can pass with little change but preparation. Logistics isn't sexy or quick, but it wins wars.
Also, methinks a certain moon princess has another, self apointed, task here. Learning her mother lives, and is fallen to madness? I can't think of a better pony. Question is will Fausts claims that she is a monster keep her from listening to Luna, or lead her down a dark path. Not sure if I've said this before, but Faust is a ticking time bomb and the bulk of the populace consider her a goddess. If she tells them to turn on the Equestrians here and then to march on Canterlot they'll do it. Hopefully the Princess of Friendship, combined can make some sort of peace.
Why do I have a certain suspicion that those words will bite her flank?
7305003 Boredom at work. Lots of it.
7306149 Don't read into it too much, she was just stating a slim possibility.
7304796 Regular ponies have a lot more combat training against all the random monsters than civilians in the modern world, and they're pretty quick to form a militia if someone's there to rally them against their natural inclination to run away or surrender. Or if they're up against something where neither of those will work.
Equestria is also pretty big. So they could trade land for time until they got a proper army together. Things would kind of suck for a while though.
Sapper companies might help with that, do some tunnel digging and place explosives under the wall. Classic tunnel warfare. So they don't have to rely completely on Twilight to break walls.
Ayo! Luna's here!
Great morale booster for the batponies and the rebellion in general.
happy Thestral noises
Huh, is that explosives I hear? Might have to tone it down a bit for practical siege and demolition purposes though.
