[MOC] Nexo Knights -- Macy's Campaign Headquarters

[Grey Magistrate]

The standoff between Queen Macy's crusaders and Ambassador Ava's stone army has settled into stalemate.  Now the queen prepares within her mighty campaign headquarters to retake the military initiative and restore throne and altar to the ruined capital.

 

Queen Macy is riding along the perimeter when she comes upon her mother, the widow Hama, standing wistfully by an energy well.

 

Queen Macy dismounts and asks what brings her mother to this lonely spot.  Hama admits that she threw a coin in the energy well to make a wish -- a wish for peace in the midst of unending conflict.

 

Peace?  Wishes?  Macy adores her mother but, honestly, how could she ever have been queen and not understood how the world really works?  With a sigh, Macy summons her bots to bring the campaign table.

 

Weary bots trundle in with their heavy burden -- the campaign map.  Queen Macy's crusaders (identified in red) control the field, and her inquisitors are even now rooting out superstition in all the major population centers: Diggington, Grindstead, Dnullib, Auremville, and Waterton.

 

Only Knightonia, the former capital which lies in ruins, continues to defy the royal family.  Axl ousted Macy's father, King Halbert, in an accidental coup some years ago, and Axl refuses to recognize Queen Macy's authority.  Axl claims against all evidence that King Halbert is still alive, and further insists he is researching among the wreckage of the capital for a way to rescue him.  Macy has no patience for such a transparent delaying tactic.

 

Axl's intransigence is intolerable.  Either he surrenders the capital -- or her armies attack.

 

Hama protests as the bots carry away the campaign map.  An attack on the capital -- against Macy's old friend and comrade-in-arms -- would be a disaster.  And what if Axl is right and Macy's father is still alive?

 

But Macy is firm.  As she assures her mother, energy wells are not places for superstitious wishes for a hollow peace...

 

...but are the source of her crusaders' greatest weapon, the mighty spellbreaker cube.  The cube practically drips with liquid power before Macy tosses it back into the well.

 

As Queen Macy prepares to remount her horse, her mother pleads with her for one final chance for peace.  Let the queen mother lead a delegation to Knightonia to meet with Axl and make one last effort to secure his support.

 

How can she say no to her beloved mother?  Macy agrees -- to one last chance.  When that fails, her crusaders will retake the capital.  And once she has reconsolidated royal control over the capital, Macy's forces can turn their attention back to Ambassador Ava's stone army.

 

And meanwhile, the bots gather in secret to relay to their true chief that the crusaders will soon be on the move.  It is nearly time to strike.
