Chetverg's Salvage

Chetverg's Salvage is the second chapter of the Battle for Petrovburg stories in the Luna the Miracle Boy series.
The folk story is set in the year 2014 and the main character is the former principal of Canterlot Presidential University – Richard Chetverg, get hounded by the Canterlot High soldiers under the leadership of Sombra as their supreme leader – who seek to try him as a "criminal" and a "traitor". After Principal Chetverg is warned of the Canterlot High School's troops who are after him, Jozef Kosovo and his supporters can drive him to safety.
==Intro==
With Petrovburg now a formidable power in its own right, Equestria and other international countries now turned to it for support. When its government were eager to battle, the armies of Canterlot High School had not been idle.
In exchange for aiding Principal Chetverg in times of need, Vice Principal Kosovo acknowledged Chetverg's right to the lush Finland Sea, giving Petrovburg a large stretch of the countryside within. Its economy soon blossomed.
It wasn't long before Petrovburg got entangled in affairs from afar. For decades, the warriors of Canterlot City had been a war with the power-hungry Principal of Canterlot High School. Seemingly unstoppable, his empire stretched across half of the lands beyond Petrovburg, and he wasn’t about to rest now.
Soon, the Principal of Canterlot High School waged war against Equestria, at the time an Equestrian ally that separated Petrovburg and any evil powers. With Sweyn's help, Chetverg became the prince of Equestria for a while. However, fearing the insatiable hunger of his neighbor, Chetverg's sympathies soon flipped and he attacked Principal's bodyguards shortly afterward.
As the sole principal of Canterlot High School, Princess Aulia is not one to tolerate a traitor. She immediately retaliated with a large Canterlot High army along with by her darling – King Sombra. Despite their previous successes, Chetverg's men stood no chance against the CHS troops second wave. Princess Aulia also sends bands of ravaging mercenaries into Petrovburg to capture and kill Luna and his family.
At the same time, Aulia used the CHS Principal to curry favor from the greedy Equestria knights who already wished to see Chetverg deposed. With Equestria's forces disorganized, conquest was imminent, and Princess Aulia would be one more step towards her ultimate goal of retaking Petrovburg.
Vice Principal Kosovo knows it was too late to break the Canterlot High invasion, but since his birth town depended on support from his allies, he needs to protect what remained of his next-door neighbor. Accompanied by his finest troops, Kosovo hurried his way to Equestria, hoping to provide safety to Chetverg and his outmatched people.

==Battle informations==
===Info===
*The Principal of Canterlot High School has just conquered Equestria and is eager to capture Principal Chetverg for betraying the Canterlot High. While the forces of Vice Principal Kosovo may be able to help him escape, they aren't powerful enough to confront the entire Canterlot High army head-on. 
*The Equestria-Petrovburg flight tour is infested with the Canterlot High Patrols, which Princess Aulia stationed to ensnare any of the Petrovburger people (even Luna and his family) who try to run away. If you take too long to succeed, Princess Aulia will increase her numbers.
*Miroslav lives on Manehattan District. He is distrustful of anybody who encroaches on his turf, up to and including Principal Chetverg, but he can be easily swayed towards the favor of anybody who promises him something major in return. 
===Main objectives===
*Principal Chetverg and Vice Principal Kosovo must survive.
*Bring Kosovo to meet Chetverg at the shore of Equestria.
*Escort the Canterlot Presidential delegates back to Petrovburg.
===Optional objectives===
*Bring Chetverg to the depot where the merchant suppliers await him, then escort them back to Canterlot City at Petrovburg.
*Free Miroslav's wife and escort her to the Manehattan Town Hall.
===Hints===
*Keep on the move! Canterlot High School will stop at nothing to catch you.
*Focus on carrying Chetverg and his surviving merchant suppliers to safety first and foremost. If necessary, distract the Canterlot High soldiers away from them with some of his units, as the small escort will not be any match for his entire army. 
*Spend the resources wisely – the Equestria Pony Riders are ready to help Chetverg's army reach the hometown of Canterlot City, but their aid can’t last forever as long as the Canterlot High thugs are pressuring the area.
*If possible, search for soldiers or resources to keep their numbers up. Just don’t waste too much time.
*The struggle for Canterlot City is already in full swing. You will find volunteers that you can integrate into your army everywhere and its vicinity.
===Losing conditions===
*Either Principal Chetverg or Vice Principal Kosovo dies.
==Battle strategies==
While the 45-minute timer should be more than enough to win the battle, it is not enough time to patiently scout the entire map in order to find all Gaia units or to complete all secondary objectives, so that the Canterlot Presidential delegates should focus on the essential – unless they want a real challenge. Even though it is possible to do both aforementioned things, as well as to escape from the Canterlot High's patrols, it not only requires extensive micro-management and high pace to make it in time (with just a few minutes or possibly seconds left before King Sombra's arrival), but it also requires great precision and baiting tactics in order to separate strong enemy units, as well as not to lose too many units.
The CPU delegates start with some soldiers on the shore of the Finland Sea, but it is better to leave the city and scout the outside to find Gaia units. By no later than 20 minutes after the escape starts, the CPU Delegates should begin the journal to Petrovburg.
There are two ways to cross the Finland Sea:
#Through Wilhelmshaven District. This is strongly discouraged, as this sea crossing is guarded by the CHS knights, archers, onagers, bombard cannons, and CHS bombard towers.
#Through the shore at the southern Petrovburg that connects to Manehattan by the bridge that is broken at the start of the scenario. For the bridge to be repaired, the CPU delegates need to destroy the CHS blockade in front of the bridge. The CPU delegates should take this option.
After crossing the bridge, the CPU delegates have to free Miroslav's wife and enter the part of the city where Mayor Miroslav is. In the north of Manehattan, there are enemy archers, so the CPU delegates should use their archers to kill them as the CPU cavalry cannot reach them. 
And now, the CPU delegates should move north to unlock the gate to Canterlot City. But be careful, Princess Aulia awaits outside with her immortal soldiers. After entering Canterlot City, try to lure Princess Aulia's knights to the city's fire towers, as it is preferable to fight outside the city (to avoid having melee units stuck at the gate). When Princess Aulia is mostly unprotected, charge at her and go to the presidential palace.
==Quotes==
==Outro==
The conquest of Equestria was morbid. Since diplomacy had previously failed him, Princess Aulia commands King Sombra and the Principal of Canterlot High School to ravage the Petrovburger countryside. Have Principal Chetverg not offered aid to his fellow survivors, they would have met an even more grisly fate.
Upon their return to Canterlot Presidentials, Chetverg, and his fellow survivors were treated callously by the Petrovburger people. Despite this, Chetverg is quick to integrate them, granting them land in the eastern regions of the city.
Chetverg and Kosovo arrived with ten of their trusted men and Chetverg knelt before President Sweyn as a show of respect; but as he rose, two men of Sweyn's retinue, who were the saviors for Canterlot High School, sprung into action and charged Chetverg with axes raised.
It was a trap. Before the meeting could even begin, Chetverg was struck down and killed while President Sweyn only watched unperturbed, but the refugees nonetheless felt safe under Chetverg's protection. It was a fitting end for the man whose career had started with just such an assassination.
The citizens and the government of Petrovburg are outraged! There will be no more peace and forgiveness for Princess Aulia!
They hope Princess Aulia will face the death execution, so that she can pay for the betrayal and enmity with her blood, and Canterlot High School will be razed without remorse and mercy into the ground and ashes.
And Vice Principal Kosovo swears that he will go on to win many more battles against the enemies who dare to split the country's sovereignty. With his delegates' return to Canterlot Presidential Palace, there's little stopping Princess Aulia's ambition from bleeding into Petrovburg as well. But while this marks the end of the life of Principal Chetverg, the battle for Petrovburg is not yet over...
