Nice. New turf gained by (technically) a political-way. I wonder what you could make of the plants there?
... And what others think of this?... guess we'll "see" it later at some time.![:derpytongue2:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/derpytongue2.png)
Keep up the good writing.
hell ya
I’m going to take a shot in the dark and guess this is the reference.
9589980 I did say it was more obvious than I would've liked. Still, can you guess what is being referenced?
9589991
Nope! It only stood out to me because it seemed rather out of character for Lucet.
9590001 I see. A shame. Guess that little extra tidbit will have to wait longer then~
When you think about it ..the brutality of the king and the fact that alot of people's heads were set to roll alot of the minotaur soldiers are probably relieved theyll get a new leader. The nobles will be the problem... best they be put in their place asap otherwise while there's no one at the top to stop them from trying to incite a war against the .. invaders. Usually as long as they get to maintain their positions the least bothersome nobles will stay quiet the ones that don't need to be purged before they start to form alliances amongst the desenters. The royal children if any is a tough call ... killing them makes you look bad to the other countries ... exiling leaves lose ends that could bite her in the ass later ... thou if exiled to equestria with the threat of execution if they leave its borders they wouldnt be able to garner military support from the peace loving ponies... hymn ... A minotaur settlement in equestrian lands might actually be a good thing for equestria.. both from a military and technology innovations they could bring. Or marrying the children into the lesser nobility could get support from the nobles and commoners if they know your not a bloodthirsty tyrant.

So the real objective was to know the reference not just find it?
9590041
Correct.
So if I am remembering correctly, it's a Boondock Saints quote? Don't remember which one but I think that's where it came from. All thanks to T.F.S. Hellsing Ultimate Abridged! Love that series.
9596811 Not even close, I'm afraid. Try again.
9597363
Darn, thought I had it.
9597405 Wouldn't be so fun if it was easy, now would it?![:rainbowwild:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowwild.png)
9597415
Too true, is it from a comedy show or a movie?
9597593 Vidya game, actually.
9597731
Well damn, I played far too many to remember everything quotable!
9597751 I'll give you a final hint. It's one of the ones that came out last year and had a very, VERY memorable meme made from it. This quote is simply one of the lesser known ones of that very memorable game.
Okay i have to say, you have put together a decent story. Just a word of advice: show more tell less.
Like with the latest council meeting. I believe that part would have been better if shown in real time, rather than just being told that it happened.
9608859 Thank you, I'm still working on doing that. I'll endeavor to do so.

I agree with Ororon35, both on this being a good story and that council meeting was a bit underplayed, but would also like to add another point on a similar vein: chapter 23 - The Dancers And The Crashers: The Fall Of Iron
What you have here is good, but the chapter is still underutilized. It shouldn't have just featured Steel Axe's reaction. After all, this was a event that potentially affected several other rulers as well. The attempted assassination happened in Equestria's borders, the members of the attempted included ponies as well as Griffon's. I feel like we should have seen reaction from several rulers and their advisors at the news besides just Steel Axe. Maybe have each one of them trying to get a read on the Storm Queen's past actions or what they hope to achieve through future interactions with her only to react in various ways as a panicked messenger runs in to give the news. Maybe even show queen Novo, as you already have once, even if it's only to see her decide to wait and watch and see if the Storm Queen's reaction to the debacle could be compared to her predecessor's actions.
Just a thought.
9614244 And a good one. When I get the time, I will endeavor to work on that. Thank you for the feedback, dear reader.
9614244 Alright, I've added what I can for today on The Fall Of Iron. More will be added to it when I get the chance, and there will likely be a reworking of the latest chapter as well, so I hope you all look forward to it.

. I'm just glad you didn't take it as nitpicking. Beside enjoying the stories themselves, I often find myself having fun when I can debate with the authors about them.
Thank you for hearing me out, and yes, I certainly do look forward to more
On that note, just want to finish off answering something you added tp the author's notes. While I know mercenaries would just be the written off as hired thugs, I was thinking that the other rulers wouldn't know for sure whether the Storm Queen would see it that way. I kind of imagined them wanting to shrug the news off before gradually becoming more doubtful.
Ruler: Well she probably won't try to link to us, right? They were just random thugs.
Advisor: Of course.
Ruler: And she's been pretty reasonable, Right?
Advisor: Right.
Ruler: I mean, yeah, we're probably as strange to her as she is to us. And she might not know for sure that we would never sanction something like this. And...those guns she showed off recently were really really big.
An awkward silence fills the air and the ruler starts sweating profusely while trying to act calm.
Advisor:....So I should cancel all current meetings and start work on an emergency diplomatic trip? Possibly a nice gift basket?
Ruler: …..Please and thank you.
I also really thought the discussion between the sisters about past dealings with mercenary shenanigans and diplomatic disasters like this was a really nice touch
. Didn't actually occur to me until then, but I actually remember reading novels involving medieval politics where similar attempts at heading off diplomatic fallout were made by using mercenary guilds and/or nobles connected to them as scapegoats.
9618071 I thank you again for the feedback, and am glad to see it. I am also glad you enjoyed the addition. However, as I said earlier, that will not be the only addition. More additions to that chapter will be coming when I can manage.
Awesome chapter!![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
9618071 Alright! Final additions to the chapter have been made! I do so hope you like them!
9608859
Additions have been made to the chapter you wanted more from! Hope you enjoy them!
Is this story still alive?
9684975 Certainly, I am simply focusing on other stories at the moment.
9684983
Ok thanks
Why in god's name would you train anyone in Systema?
For fuck's sake I can understand Russian Sambo(Russia), Silat(Mainly Eastern Armies), MMA(USA), Judo-Karate -Kyokushin Mix(Japan) but Systema? Are you retarded? Is the Storm Queen going senile? Just..... Why?

Little late but you know what they say.
She teaches it as it is an Uncomplicated, basic fighting style designed to do the maximum amount of debilitating damage in the shortest amount of time over multiple types of encounters and situations.
It’s also one of the most configurable fighting styles in the fact you can integrate moves and techniques almost fluently from a wide range of more complicated martial arts.
10049230 Yup.
