A force of 700 armored Empire forces armed with reinforced steel armor and ebony weapons, aided by around 100 guar calvalry as well as a trio of catapults, shows up outside of town unexpectedly, catching the village off-guard. Also with the forces of the People's Empire is something unfamiliar to the people of Gnisis-- 50 Nix-Hound handlers, each controlling one or two Nix-Hounds each. Previously thought to be more or less untamable, the sight of the vicious arthropods amongst the ranks of the People's Empire proves somewhat intimdating, for the citizens of Gnisis know that the Nix-Hounds will attack without mercy if their handlers give them the word.

Luckily for Gnisis, the People's Empire doesn't really seem to think that an invasion of the town is necessary. An emissary is sent into the town with the same proposition they had made earlier, pointing out the benefits of joining the People's Empire. This time, however, the emissary also makes the point that the town is outnumbered and outmatched, and that should they refuse, the People's Empire will occupy the town by force. If they should try to fight back, the end result would be a battle that no one truly wants but the People's Empire would most certainly win. (Does one Nix-Hound Handler count as a unit or do each Nix-Hound count as a unit.)

The leader of the town tells the emissary to piss off. They may be mildly outnumbered but Gnisis wouldn't surrender to invaders. The town hurried to gather up their 700 strong army to fight the Empire's soldiers.
