Operation Redshield was created to bolster the defenses of Vesper against the increasing hostilities of Cove and Yew. The operation included stockpiling resources, reinforcing our defenses and carrying out missions to secure Vesper's safety. There were many more undocumented missions carried out under Operation Redshield that will not be reported here.
To begin the operation the Republic started by venturing to the harpy nests of Ilshenar and living forest of Malas to gather feathers and special wood for the production of ammunition for our archers.
Next was to gather metal for our stockpile to meet the demand of armour and weapons. An elite force of Vesparians escorted our mining golem and beetle into the mines of the Yomotsu to bring back well needed ore for the forges!
During this operation over the weeks the Redguard built many barricades, forts and waypoints to increase the security of the Republic and protect our citizens. An example of these were multiple fortifications of the Swaggers Inn.
And regular assaults of Vesper cemetary using conscripts to cull the presence and thread of the undead against Vesper.
[PRIVATE REPORT TO THE REDGUARD OF VESPER, ONLY IC KNOWLEDGE TO REDGUARD]
An operation surrounded by questions and uncertainty amongst the ranks of the Redguard. Commander Escaflowne of the Redguard stood by this decision with an iron fist, stating that desperate measures needed to be taken to ensure the survival of the Republic.
Under orders from the Commander, the Redguard of Vesper disguised themselves with monks robes and masks of orcs in order to deliver arms, ammunition and medical supplies to the Cove orc fort, Yew orc fort and Yew orc dungeon in an attempt to better equip the orcs to launch attacks on the Covians and Yewlanders to buy Vesper time to prepare for war.
The operation was compromised and nearly failed due to an unexpected run in with a Covian patrol at the Cove Orc Fort.
