nah you can attack human but do not be too cruel... human know war and love war but if you try to be most cruel then you awake the demon inside human. Blood for blood
"There's one mistake you've made in your attempts at war," said the lone human representative. "Enlighten us, little human. What may that be?" Asked the High Councilor of the Galactic Races. "It's quite simple. You're people playing at being beasts while at war," the representative smiled. There was no kindness in the gesture. "...But humans are beasts, playing at being people in peacetimes."
Rheagar and his people are wise. No matter how much civilization we claim to have attained, in our hearts we are still savages. We aspire to restrain the beast. And we will if allowed. But, slay our innocents and our wrath will know no bounds.
I loved the narration. I find the possibility that the ceremony was all psychological warfare tantalizing. A few years later, after an unconditional surrender, Rheager sees some people from the forge acting in a summer festival it all clicks and he laughs.
Down in the deep 🎶 where the dragon used to sleep 🎶 glorious gold glimmers in our home of old 🎶 where the day has lost its light 🎶 when the hammer falls 🎶
This honestly sounds like the first step of the war. Not an actual ceremony, but rather psychological warfare. Something to scare the other empires into non-action of helping the Cholan. Lol
It is. Especially given the whole context. Rhaegar saw the warmachines being produced, saw the energy-spices when ships became active by the second. Those are all steps preceding actual war. And unless we talk about an alternative reality where mankind never abandoned superstition and arcane (or even eldritch) rites, this whole display of such a ritual is practically pointless. Except as a show of force, a stage-play for an intimidation.
Yeah that was my thought too, some of our older warrior cultures have some similar ceremonies if i´m not misremembering too much 🤔 Vikings, aztecs, spartans, samurai and the like. Blood-debt and honour run high in those old warrior cultures...
More a general reference to a blood oath of vengeance/duty. While not as bent on homicide an example is the Gurkha and their respect towards their kukri. Which is to say, once the blade is drawn the blade has to taste blood before being sheathed again. Even if it used to cut down brush a Gurkha is expected to draw at least a little of their own blood to satisfy that oath.
@@aguyontheinternet9095 I am deeply sorry, but that is not true. The notch in the blade just before the grip is not to draw your own blood from, but to keep blood from running onto the handle and make it slippery.
It is a reference to an old Norse Right of Vengeance, the forging of a blade meant to kill the leader of a war band that tried to wipe out an entire clan...and failed.
Nukes are so... distant; wrath at arm's length. A blade must be delivered up close. A very personal fury. And humanity has a long history of taking things personally.
@@derekstein6193 im pretty sure this thing they showed was first time it happened too,theysay it happened in first contact war,but in reality i think this was all just a show to scare anyone aiding enemies of humanity in any military way because that way there would be less casualties
Loving your stories, but I do have to ask... Are you gonna upload to Spotify again sometime soon? I'm building playlist of your various series to listen to while at work, and the newer uploads aren't on Spotify
Does the ceremony come from ancient Norse rites involving Viðar, the Æsir god of silence and vengence? The forging of a blade, and the silence, suggest so.
durring the story, in the first half i heard Hammerfall - let the hammer fall, the 2nd half i heard Hammerfall - The Unforgiving Blade i love how in these stories humans are either Space Orcs or Space Dwarves, but Always Ready to Defend their own, and their friends from those who seek power at the cost of innocents we are the thing that goes bump in the night, it has a name, and that name. is Humanity Glorious read of an epic story Agro Squirrel
Ya know, I think if they had left the civvies alone and let them leave the planet, we would have been pissed, and demanded some sort of reparations, but we would have let it be otherwise.
yup...cause you know...civilian world is going to have an aweful lot of kids running around. By the way it was set up, it wasn't just some recently colonized one either. so multiple cities and villages where all humans were wiped out. Men, women, children. yup, about to be some genecide happening.
Humans hell bent on vengeance will either get it or die trying and a human fueled by blind rage does not just die easily. The only way you stand a chance is to be prepared to commit nightmarish atrocities of your own in return.
Love these story’s. And the narrator is superb. I lost track of a story I really enjoyed and would Like to hear it again !! I can’t remember the name. But there Was A Giant Insect that the girl called BITEY ! Lol and weird Amphibian like creatures one she called BUBBLES. LOL. great little story. Could’ve been expanded on but was a good listen. Please does anyone know the link / name etc. ?? PS agro keep up the good work. Love it.
Did they? They're not the aggressors here. Millions of innocents, men, women, children were slaughtered. This must be answered for. They are doing what is natural. And they are doing it soberly, reluctantly and recognize the gravity of the act. The sword should not be lightly drawn to war. Our history is full of war over the most foolish of motives. This is as close to a just war as you will likely get.
spoken like someone who would be ok, with a group of people coming, wiping his family out. Then walking off with no repercussions what-so-ever. Glad i'm not in your family.
@@nadjasunflower1387 I can fight for my family without sinking into this sort of pagan ritualism. It's not the fact they are going to war that i don't like, it's that they apparently replaced reason and logic with superstition. This human race seems to me bound in traditions and rituals, which is a poor way to fight a war. Most HFY stories have humanity as creative and innovative, this guys seem like the exact opposite. Anger alone does not win wars.
It is a grand dream that one day, we will crack FTL and move out into the galaxy on a timescale of less than thousands of years per system reached. Another grand dream that we will meet others, as well. But this and other stories about our collective past are indeed true. I know not what we'll learn in the coming decades and centuries. I know not what our growth in civility will be, but I hope we learn to play nicer with others than we have with our own 'others' in the past. However, I don't see us forgetting how to wage war, ever. It is our history, our legacy, and a huge part of who we are. So, even though they'll never see this, to any others we may meet in the Great Dark: Don't piss us off. Don't attack without warning. And for the love of whatever higher being you may worship, don't kill our civilians. You'll live a lot longer if you remember this.
The humans have an odd sense of right and wrong and have no qualms about dragging their foes to whatever form of hell they believe in should they be wronged, the cost be damned. Our choice is simple, either stay out of the fight or join their enemies in hell.
Emotionally unstable? No, for a crime of that magnitude the murder of innocent people and their way of life the price is that of blood and the assurance that the one that gave the order and those that fulfilled it will never harm another innocent because they will never have another chance to do anything again.
So not tolerating "no action" as the response to an outside faction killing *BILLIONS OF HUMANS* is emotionally unstable? Damn, if getting mad over that is bad I guess ever getting mad over anything makes you emotionally unstable. Who would have guessed not tolerating a planetary genocide just because you have more than one was "emotionally unstable".

Rule 3A - do not harm or kill their pets, especially cats and dogs. This automatically triggers the Wick codicil.
Don't forget the HMB protocols... When all else fails, those won't.

love this. well said 8) ( i mean, you could use this snippet as a core and design your own story as well that maybe Agro ends up reading to us.)
sadly you are right
Wow this is such a good description of humans.
My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred.

Rheagar and his people are wise. No matter how much civilization we claim to have attained, in our hearts we are still savages. We aspire to restrain the beast. And we will if allowed. But, slay our innocents and our wrath will know no bounds.
This is the most primal urge of all pack hunters: touch the blood of my blood and I will see the color of your blood.

Didn't Sun Su say something about the best battle is the one that didn't happen?
It's as much to try to scare the Cholan into turning over the Grand Magnate of the Cholan Corporation before they are extinct.
@@seldonwright4345 -- Yeah. Or the one where Victory is already decided before it starts?

Your best story and narration that I have heard. I have listened to many but this one is the most soul capturing work of art. Thank you
I picture Adeptus Custodes forging weapons in the volcano
Awesome story. For Vengeance! Always appreciative of our amazing narrator! No other voice will do!
What is more terrifying then a people mobilized by hatred with vengeance in their hearts?
Standing between them and their target.
I'd rather let nukes speak of my fury against some enemies of humanity.
But that wouldnt be such a fun story.
Nukes are so... distant; wrath at arm's length.
A blade must be delivered up close. A very personal fury.
And humanity has a long history of taking things personally.

Sacred blade first. Nukes later. As an aftermath, planet buster.

As I understand it, this is based on Polynesian legends
No, it's old Scandinavian
@@redraven8963 It's definitely not Scandinavian. Author said it's based on 40k inquisition and a bit of Arthurian stuff thrown in

I'm somewhat surprised they managed to use only 30kg hammers to create a sharp blade that then slotted into pre-made fittings.
Where is the background located. It looks like k e a church or quiet lecture hall.
