The write-up of Wednesday.
‘Qin, hundreds of barbarian nomads are standing at our border. We ask permission to retreat into the city.’
‘Where did those come from?’ Qin asked to his general.’ ‘India isn’t a horsemen’s land.’
‘They call themselves divine, o supreme ruler.’
‘Ah, that explains it.’
They were but a nuisance, quickly driven away, but still Qin wished they wouldn’t have been there.
And in Japan, the general had lost some of his abilities. He was not a brilliant medic anymore, and neither was the assault catapult. Still, they could easily take on the whole Japanese army with ease.
And a hardy people in the mountains founded numerous towns, which paid taxes to Bejing.
A Japanese attempt to refound their burned southern border town was brutally stopped.
And again JWITTI found a horrible death. Well, his mortal replacement did. No divine scout had arrived in China, despite the fact METY mentioned it.
Word of a new religion spread. Qin decided to stay neutral, so every faith would be equal.
And after thousands of years of playing with stones and building stone monoliths, China entered the classical age, age of sundials, marble statues and flying horses.
The new Indian capital of Lahore was taken by brave Chinese axewielders.
And given to the friendly people of Persia, who would take good care of it, kill it’s inhabitants and burn it to the ground. Or something.
The Persian army was hopelessly late to conquer India.
And finally Tokyo’s walls fell. It’s defenders suffered heavy casualties, but they were almost continuously replaced, faster than the General could kill. But when Chinese axemen reinforcements arrived, carrying a wooden flying horse and a cunning plan with them, Tokyo was taken.
It was discovered that the northern half of Japan was still untamed. Qin had to conquer it! For China! For humanity! For some god who wanted that for some unknown reason!
An army of thousands attacked Chennai, but because some orders were misunderstood, the axemen tried to climb under the walls instead of over them, and many died while trying to stick a ladder into the ground.
But it didn’t matter. Reinforcements took the third Indian capital, but the Indian government fled. Again.
And all of India belong to Persia. Including Chennai.
Rostam was found, bravely defending the border and hiding behind city walls.
A great statue of Zeus, some god the Chinese did not know but Qin did, was erected in Korea. It made every enemy of China cower in fear, even those who did not even know about the existence of this statue.
We met someone who did not like us. Qin ordered his execution, but his executioners were stopped at the Babylonian border for some reason.
If China lacked something, it was not troops…
Tokyo, home of the Colossus, a bronze giant, was a part of China now. This caused fishers to find more valuable pearls in the sea.
The Indian government collapsed and Southern India became divided, but still independent. Qin ordered a ‘visit’ to the town, not to destroy it, but to enter it’s fort, one of the holy METYJWITTI forts.
And lightbulbs were invented in Huang-Nu. Sadly, noone knew how to power them, as electricity was still a mystery, but it still was a great invention.
The gods, attracted by those strange lightbulbs-which-gave-no-light, decided to intervene.
