>>25230297>"Anon, our troops are demoralized, word has spread around the camp that reinforcements are days away. Not to mention the enemy out number us by five to one...So I ask of you to give them one last speech for the upcoming battle.""It will be done- assemble the troops immediately, lest we lose time." you say as you send the battered and bruised pony on his way
>You are Major Anonymous>And you have been tasked with taking and holding a small town called Ponesy>A faint yelling can be heard in the distance as you collect yourself for the upcoming speech>You look up to see the dull grey skies baring down on you- making the little war-torn town you were in even bleaker>As the demoralized troops gather closer you hop up onto the top of an armored carriage >A sizable crowd of your faithful ponies have gathered round to hear what you had to say"Men, I know today seems bleak- but just remember it will only get as bad as you let it. The rain may pour, and blood might be spilled, but the only person capable of truly destroying you- is you. I ask that you stay strong, so that we might hold this city until reinforcements arrive... today, tomorrow, and the days that follow will be rough but with enough faith we will get through this. Even if we don't make it we still win- we become heroes for standing our ground and not giving in. So all I ask- is that you stay strong, for yourself, your fellow ponies, and the good of Equestria." you say as a few ponies in the crowd's faces brighten up ever so slightly
>You jump down from the battle-carriage and walk towards the group of troops>As you get a closer looks you realize how broken and battered some of these ponies are"We must hold strong... for a little longer- for a little longer." you say as you walk around the group "Dismissed..."
>All the ponies break up and head back to where they were previously>But one pony sticks around- a recruit by the look of it>"If you have faith that we'll make it- I do too." he says
