The Arab War: By Ningirsu of Ur

Arabia is divided between Sumeria and Egypt. We may have lost the Levant and Anatolian Armenia, but when one door closes, another opens. And that door was Arabia. We had many hardships along the way. Our people were enslaved. 20% of the Sumerian population was killed. The heart of Sumeria was ransacked and razed. The only heir to the Annunakian dynasty, Princess Inanna, was raped and killed by the Arab Sultan herself. Another 5%, including the one-fourth killed in the Sumerian genocide, were enslaved. And after the hardships, Sumeria rose like a phoenix.

After a tough time with Russia and Egypt on that front, we made peace. I did not see combat because Annunaki had not trusted me on the battlefield. I was just a Vulture guarding Ur when the Arabs attacked. Amazingly, they defeated our Vultures despite heavy losses. Then, I saw my emperor almost dying. An Arab soldier was rushing towards him. I made a quick bargain.

I said, “I’m Ningirsu. My commander, Mesanepada, says that I’m the best Vulture he’s ever seen. He even goes as far as to say I deserve my own division in the Arab front.”

He replied, “You’re twenty. Mesanepada is always coming to me about you. You’re too young. No.”

Then, I countered, “There’s an Arab soldier over there. If you want me to abandon you, then let me command a division.”

“Fine,” he replied as I pulled him onto my horse. I killed the enemy commander myself and took his horse, which happened to be the fastest, explaining how I got a horse. In the retreat, we based ourselves in Uruk, where we would run out of the provisional building. We got an offer to cede the entire area of Sumer to Arabia. Reluctantly, we accepted. Then, I was riding a horse and scouting for dead bodies when I saw an Arab messenger. I quickly took his robes and made the greatest impersonation I could. It worked, and I got a message. They contained Arab orders. It was a simple trick to make us unprepared! With this information, we armed our Vultures and defended Uruk. We had beaten back the Arab army and beaten the Arabs back to the desert that they came from!
 
@Dart: The Arabs were exterminated 200 years ago!! I suppose while you were down in the Royal Sumerian Archives you found this little story :lol:
Are there also reports of the actual beheading of Osman in your archives? That must have been quite a happening back then!!! :evil:
 
Yes the Arabs, how I destroyed them!
 
Thanks abunch D'artagnan. My brother will be gone in a week and a day, or so, and this NES should be back up and flying.
 
Amon, I am starting a My Return to Our Roots. May I please use your rules with a few changes? I hope it will be my first successful NES while letting players enjoy this except like it started again!

Please?
 
And then, they offered us peace at current borders. The most sparsely-populated deserts would be ceded to Arabia. We said yes. Then, the unthinkable happened.

Inanna, the Emperor’s only child, was missing from the palace, where she learned. Inanna was a bright girl. She did well in school, was extremely popular with everyone yet a friend to all, and was a beautiful girl, pursued by most of the school when they were old enough. She loved boys as much as she loved learning. Most in Ur knew her name, and the others that didn’t would. At twenty-six, she might’ve been so bright, when Annunaki died, she could’ve become the first empress of the Sumerian Empire. Women were looked down upon, but one of the exceptions was Inanna.

Then, a spy, Kur, received startling news. Inanna had been kidnapped and taken prisoner. He peered into the window of the palace in Mecca and saw Osman, the Arab sultan, rape Inanna. He caught every single horrible detail. He saw Osman beat her into submission and rape her. He saw the tears running down her eyes. It was possibly the most shocking thing in his life.

Annunaki took it very hard. When he heard, he burst into tears for three long days. He cared deeply about his daughter, comforting her, teaching her, and loving her with all his heart. He ensured the best of lives for Inanna, and he gave that. Now, Osman had taken all of that away, raping his pride and joy. I met her, and she was the smartest girl I saw. It was three years ago. I was seventeen and just was promoted to colonel in the Vultures, the second rank. I stayed there for three years until recently, when I was promoted to general. I noticed she had her eye on me. Then, she asked me to dance. Those were the best five minutes of my life. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was smart and shared the same interests as I did. I thought she would marry me someday.

After this three-day period of tears, Annunaki wiped his bottom with the peace treaty and wrote:

“Dear Osman,

If you can’t read from the poop, please shove this letter up your ass.

Your Mortal Enemy,
Annunaki”

After this, he then asked if he could command a division of Vultures along with me. He said that we would march to Mecca to free Inanna ourselves! It would be an honor to command and take orders from the emperor of Sumeria himself!
 
Charles, please do... I'll get to play in one that someone else mods, so that I'm not blamed for being favoritist towards the permanent NPC that I write stories for, Siam.
 
That she would have, my friend. She's one crazy t-wat.
 
BUMP!

Strap your seat belts on... My bro's got 3 more days here in the states.... THAT MEANS THIS TRASH IS GOING TO BE BACK UP AND RUNNING! No need to make a ******** post saying you're back, or anything, just make sure that you check here every day so that when I post the update (on wednesday night or thursday morning) you're ready to send orders and all.
 
holy yay batman, :D
 
You're one funny SOB Bestshop!
 
With it was the Battle of the Border. It was uneventful, but Arabia won and took more desert. It was a snooze until the second one, which was a few months later. We encircled the Arabs and fought for a very long time. Overall, the Sumerians won and pushed further.

Then, we reached a city with some actual population, Riyadh. Its population was about 10,000, fairly large for a desert city. It was an important stop on the caravan trail, linking all of the trading cities of Arabia together. Instead of the Roman concept of all roads leading to Rome, all roads led to Riyadh. Dubai, Doha, and Aden might have been larger, but Riyadh linked them together. If the Sumerians captured Riyadh, then the rich Persian Gulf coast of Arabia would have to survive on its weak agricultural production.

Not only that, but Riyadh had the second-largest military academy in all of Arabia. A large amount of the Arab troops were trained at the Riyadh Academy, an increasing amount since last year.

After seeing that this was Riyadh, we decided to besiege the city. We had ladders which we climbed to get past the walls. Two divisions would guard and surround the north and south gates while the other one would vault over the ladders and onto the stone walls. Then, they would all jump down into the fields of wheat and the city, taking it by storm and opening the gates so the other two would get in. When they killed all the soldiers in Riyadh, the Sumerians would gain the most strategic city in all of Arabia.

It was determined that Annunaki’s troops would guard the south gate and the west gate (the main gate that had all the roads in the others and the gate leading to Mecca), another general, Shulgi, would guard the east and north gates (the least important, the east was a backup route for the Persian Gulf ports and the north was useless because Sumeria was controlling them, and I would lead my army over the walls.

They got into position, and when they did, we donned our disguises. Creeping low to the ground, nobody expected figures arising from the city walls. They did not see any of us and failed to act. Miraculously, An enabled all of my Vultures to get past the walls without even being noticed. Then, once we all were up, we opened the gates. Shulgi and Annunaki then rushed in, attacking all of the guards, the watchmen, and every soldier they saw. Nobody escaped unharmed. The Arabs took major casualties of 10,000 soldiers, including 2,500 newbloods being trained. The Sumerians only took 500 casualties. After many years, we had Arabia by the neck.
 
Is the other one going to be back too?


*marks calendar for december 4th*
 
That's less possible. I have more on my plate now than I did before, so modding both NESes on a regular basis would be less doable... Unless we turned off the lights, OH GIGGADY!
