Yayyy an update.
I feel kinda bad for Gilda for what she has to go through, both emotionally and physically, as a commander and as a lover.
Can't wait for update.
One hell of a chapter and a great last update for 2022.
That Dragon is Yoda levels of awesome in close combat.
So the Griffons run out of Ammo soon and the Human rifles might soon suffer if they can't be cleaned regularly.
The Overlord probably is very pissed about all his effort going up in bloody smoke.
I am surprised the Raven fail-safe did in fact, fail...
So one Ibex unaccounted for?
One human permanently down, but many more ready for action. I wonder if Jenkins get a new type of Medal for Dying on a alien world while fulfilling his duty.
He most certainly will go in history s thevery first human in history dying in action on a alien planet!
Raven sure are observing abd adaptive when one made do with a Rifle that was only observed before.
Without hearing protection her ears are probably still ring...
Losing so many bodys/material that can't be retrived, will sure weaken the efforts of the Cloven for now.
The tactical retreat of the Cloven will probably have happen because who ever killed the Teleportation force, are now the target to be eliminated so they can't catch the Overlord off guard again.
I wonder if the reason they are not getting evacuated is to draw forces off so they can assault the Product of Yoke.
I wonder how they breach the Teleportation wards? Overpowering seem to simpel a answer...
Lets hope Marco can keep a cool head. Silverling is that Gilda wounds are healed and for some reason the Ibex did heal as well. Magic sure is awesome.
Some Field promotions are in order after this fight.
The ones under Gilda and the one under Imlay sure earned them. I hope they have enough time to reset the defenses. The spears and explosiv gems sure did their part in all this.
One thing that might have stopped the Raven self destruction is the rare anti magic Gems? Maybe the get used vs the Ibex and while in range he Raven got defeated with their body in antimagic range?
I wonder what would be the result of Ibex x Pony or Ibex x Griffon... Flying Mages?
One thing the Overlord could try is keep them bussy day and night so fatigue and stress can be accumulated, but Invasion plans normaly don't allow for siege tactics of starvation and sleep deprivation.
I wonder if the Cloven work under Sommer or Winter weather better.
Cold keeps corpses preserved, but troops in general burn more energy.
I wonder how the Human ammunition stand is? As well their explosion stores.
But Imlay just put PFC Jenkins' body in a storage gem. There's nothing to look at. Maybe the paragraph about the storage gem should be after this point?

Goddammit. In a word, argh. You’re right. Good catch. I’ve fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.
11446812
We should have paid more attention. Sorry about that.
11446854
You two are just as bad as Gilda in this chapter when she blames herself for the deaths of the soldiers beneath her, though this certainly isn't anywhere as serious. Meaning, don't stress about it too much - It was a minor mistake and was easily fixed. I'm guessing one of you made an edit to that section and didn't re-read the paragraphs around the edit to make sure that the section still made sense. I made similar mistakes when I wrote the two stories I have here on FIMfiction, and I had to re-read my chapters over and over to catch minor continuity errors like that.
I'm going to give this a chance.
I am not sure why I never heard about this story, because I'm huge fan of big, epic stories
Fallout Equestria
Upheaval
and others
I really hope it doesn't comes to: you did it with mares before you even knew of my existance, so it's cool i did it with someone who was married, when i wanted to be your exklusive partner.
11446751
You’re welcome.
If I’ve made her appear sympathetic to readers, that’s good. It means I hit the mark I was aiming for.
You won’t have to wait for long. The climactic and concluding chapter to this battle and entire story arc will be out tomorrow night.
11446780
Or not. As you read in yesterday’s blog, the last update for 2022 will be out tomorrow night.
She should, considering the kick-ass character she’s based on! I gave you this once already, but it’s worth including again:
Pretty much, yep. Full mags don’t matter if the barrel is fouled and rounds are jamming.
Funny you should mention them...
So are they! And right now, they have no idea how.
Nope. Both were accounted for in this chapter. One teleported in the two Ravens to try to kill the command group, and the other was the one who teleported in the summoning crystal in an attempt to invade the hive from within and take Gilda’s force from behind. So both are now dead.
We’ll just have to wait and see what accolades are offered him.
That he will! Hell of a title to hold, if you think about it.
Being observant and adaptable are basically part of their job description, much like special forces here.
Like you wouldn’t believe, especially in the case of Henderson’s heavy rifle--a .50 sniper rifle that has very long range and a horrific punch.

Sorry to be coy, but we’ll have to see.
Ah, but were they killed before the summoning process? Or after it?
Wait one more day, and you’ll have your answers.
They wonder too, but the answers have to wait for later.
For better and for ill, yes. But it’s not do-anything-and-do-everything. There are physics-like rules governing its use, and it’s not inexhaustible, as our ibex and Decanus Nydia have demonstrated repeatedly.
You can bet that Gilda will be recommending a few, as well a long list of citations after this!
They sure did. As has been demonstrated repeatedly, the Marines and griffons have to work together to have any chance of survival in this fight, and just because the griffons fight with olden weapons doesn’t mean they can’t be effective. In any event, the battle reaches its climax and conclusion next chapter. Will it be enough...?
Again, you’ll have to wait to see what the answer is there, because they don’t know themselves right now and won’t until after they’ve had a chance to catch their breath and examine what happened.
Good question. Hybrids aren’t generally thought to be possible among Tellusian races, but if so, how did beings like griffons and hippogriffs come to be...?
The Cloven know full well that a longer war of attrition favors them, since their numbers are (to a point) inexhaustable given they can recycle their dead and that of their enemy. And don’t forget they’ve been burning crops, so as Gilda earlier noted, they’re clearly thinking about starving them out this winter.
They don’t really care except insofar as which season their foe functions worse in.
Perhaps, but the latter applies to both sides.
They’ve burned through a great deal of ammo at this point but still have plenty more. It won’t last forever, though, and they’ll need resupply eventually...
Thanks for the longpost! Appreciated as always.

It was easily fixed, true enough, but that’s still a major logical error that we should have caught between all the prereads and editing passes. Stuff like that ruins reader immersion when it’s glaring enough. Yeah, we’re probably overreacting, but for the level of work AJA and I aspire to, we shouldn’t let mistakes like that through.
I don’t recall whether we did or not, to be honest, given how many edits, changes and fixes we make to chapter drafts along the way. Sometimes I need to step back from a new chapter for a day or week before I spot stuff like that just because I’m too familiar with it. But given my eagerness to get stuff out quickly, I often don’t.
I reread and edit my stuff constantly, usually just listening to it recited to me over Fimfiction’s smartphone voiceover feature when I’m hiking, jogging or driving. Maybe I would have caught this eventually, but maybe not. So thanks again for spotting it. If you see anything else like that, just let us know. I promise to not throw a fit over it next time.

Welcome and hope you enjoy! And if you like big, epic stories, then I invite you to also check out my Firefly series, which in my not-so-humble opinion is the most epic series of military thrillers on Fimfiction:
- MLP: FiM
- Dark
- Adventure
Before the Wonderbolts, there were the Bolt Knights. And before Rainbow Dash, there was Firefly. The story of Rainbow Dash's ancestor, the origin of the Wonderbolts, and the coming of the Great Pony/Gryphon War.- MLP: FiM
- Dark
- Adventure
- Thriller
Before the Wonderbolts, there were the Bolt Knights. And before Rainbow Dash, there was Firefly. The story of Rainbow Dash's ancestor, the founding of the Wonderbolts, and the outbreak of the Great Pony/Gryphon War.They’re very well-reviewed and referenced repeatedly here as they’re canon to this story. If you try them, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Not even remotely. You’ll get your answer tomorrow night. Aside from that, hope you enjoyed the battle sequence and general badassery of the chapter.
I think the soundtracks of all three 'Prince of Persia' game would fit well.
Alternativ also from the Alien Games.
I suspect next chapter we get this:
Destroys the mind... But do it Destroys the neural network? Wiping the hardware till leaves space to use it again. It was to made to stop others from learning from them. Not Cloven puppet them... How did i miss the phrasing before?
Can we get a romance option for the Badass Dragon Scythe Amazon? Rose Ruby maybe with the MG Gunner? He sure likes his Meat Exotic
11447539
One of the very best war storys i read on Fimfiction.
I can highly recommend it.
I wonder if we could get some more badass Thestral action in this or other storys
Always a delight to read.
The Teleportation force was killed by animals and sword wounds? Sounds like Changeling forces going all out... Unless Fluttershy and Breezes are riding animals into battle 🤜
Maybe add the hearing protection Griffons lack? They have better ears than humans and every shot probably hurt her ears...
Are we sure this hive is abandoned? Between G and Karan's little flair up, the coven found dead in the depths of the hive, the resort nearby that's a perfect feeding ground and the teleportation spells still working I'm getting the feeling that the hive is less abandoned and more a decoy.
Why hide the hive when you can make it seem like it's no longer occupied with a second hive concealed within.
11447751
Not familiar with those, though I did see that one live action movie back in the day.
You can be the judge, but it’ll be that way pretty much in feel at times if not quite in content.
Destroys it as in a small crystal explodes within their skull, physically obliterating the brain. Or at least, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.
Well, I already have a romance request for Emerald Inferno x the human who shot down her possessed father, so why not another one? We’ll just have to see what happens along the way. Needless to say, this coming chapter is not the time for romance.
11447811
Thanks for the kind words! And you might just wonder...
Hey, if it was Breezies, the Cloven would have no chance! There’s no defeating them!
Good point. I’ll add a blurb to that effect... done:
How’s that?
Sorry that it's taking me too long getting back to reading this, and after you've posted so much glorious stuff in the last few weeks! But it's been rather busy for me of late.
11447529
It sounds perhaps like Bob really is still there in the otherwise abandoned lair, finally making his presence felt.
11460363
No problem. I know how it is, especially around this time of year.
Certainly wouldn’t put it past the guy! Well, if he accidentally made the Cloven, maybe he feels a little guilty over it and wants to help out?
Now where have I heard THAT before???
Always a delight re-reading this and all other chapters
To bad we never learned of Marcos Equestria adventure, but the one he is living now is overshadowing it easy.
When good things come back with karma...
Ah yes the name of a crok sock colour with no asosiation to vape or fruju
Random mindblowing event incoming, this is where the 'what the fuck' begins for Marco...
There are many ways I can think of to control Raven even with crystal traps implants:
- Remove the destructive implants before the heart stops
- Keep simulation of the heart beating, one can have a pulse without effective blood circulation
- Maybe they have fail safety that the Cloven discovered by assimilation of a scientist
- In Stargate guauld parasites use the neck of a host to hijack the body. Perhaps the Cloven have a improved version of the brain parasites?
- Maybe the Ibex time dialetion works to delay or speed up Crystal activation
- I think the brain stem is responsible for movements, as long that section is functioning, the remaining brain damage is acceptable for just puppetry of a corpse...
I think I remember a doctor on Youtube explaining how difficult it would be to kill walking dead zombies.
Simply because the brain stem need to be damaged or destroyed to stop the corpse from moving around.
