Previously
To Ronan's eyes anyone who wholeheartedly join confederates are slavers that should be put to death, a another reason why many have feard him apart from his stragetic genious he is very ruthless to those who join confederate and repeatedly calling them 'slavers' rather than American
Ronan instill hate to his troops of hating slavery which was effective and even if possible educate them about slavery and the suffering of the people which made many of them to be determined to end it once and for all for their country
in 30 percent in his field army are of Regulars, but the vulunteers are given the training standard of the Regulars as mostly Rugular army are always considered their Elite, and now Ronan has the best unit in the Civil war as all of them are train up to his standard and help centralize their training
"A long battle is waiting" Though of Ronan as he begun to sleep

"GENERAL GENERAL!!!" One of his guards shakes Ronan
Ronan suddenly woke up from his sleep at his guards, Ronan would have aimed his revolver if it weren't for the tone of his guards as he is looking for gunfire or anything that indicate that they might being attack by the Confederate as Indians are out of the question since they haven't cross their territory yet
"Yes?" Said Ronan feeling little headache "Are we being attack?" he said
"No general, but you still have to look outside and... well it's better if you see it for yourself" Said his guard
Ronan shook his head before standing up and put on his shoes and uniform then moving out from his tent
As soon as he exit he suddenly felt the chill of a breeze "What the fuck?" he said "When did Winter came? we are not even in Autumn season yet
He saw many of his soldiers run towards the wall, Ronan look to the sky and could barely see the sun but still not very visible due to the breeze he glared at one of his old guards "What really happened?" he ask
"I--- i don't know General, one minute i was standing here but in the next from what ever reasons are, we fell asleep and the next second we open our eyes, this suddenly happened sire" Said the Old Guard as he gulp in fear at Ronan's gaze despite veteran of battles Ronan's gaze can be piercing
Ronan then return back, as he saw his man cuddle to each other for heat, and then he saw some soldiers appeared for whatever reasons have winter coat
Ronan approach them "Soldier" He called
The soldier stop and looked to their towering General and his Old Guards as he approach them "Yes General?" they said as they stand straight
"Did you bring your winter coats?" Ronan ask
"Eh no General, this coats just suddenly appeared within our tent sir" Said the Soldier
Ronan was thoughtful for dismissing them "You can go now" Said Ronan as the Soldiers Salute before leaving him
"Ronan!" Someone called him, and it was Nath his 2nd in command and the Davoust to him as the people compare to legendary Iron Marshall since he is quite formidable even without Ronan except he is not as strict as Davoust
"Nath" Said Ronan with a smile to his face he notice him to have a winter coat "Since when did you have a winter coat? last time i check you din't have it in your baggage"
"That's the thing Ronan, it's not and it just appeared as soon as we arrive of whatever hellhole of place this is" Said Nath
Ronan narrowed his eyes before going back to his tent, and truth to Nath Words he also have winter coat, he knew that he din't have one since it would be heavy to put too much baggage despite his wife's insistance who is also a camp follower at least she's helpful managing the army as well as her fellow civilians to cope for their lost love ones

Scene Change
Main tent
"I Think we're no longer in Kansas anymore gentlemen" Said Nath as he look at his top officers as well as looking at the map that depicted the map of US
"Where did that give it away?" Said one of the officers as some rolled their eyes nath also do
"Well because last time i check where not in the middle of a winter hellhole" Said Nath
"It is Lt General" Said Dean with a sight "We're about to march but now it appears it would have be delayed"
"Already done it father" Said Aaron "As soon as i recovered i immediately send scouts to determined of where we are and cartography considering that we are no longer Kansas might as well make a new map just in case"
Several generals and officers nod in approval at Aaron decision without the need to talk to his father more instruction and taking initiative in his own a reason why he is a Col and would be promoted if they are not being sent here
"Because we are not in any land we should be cautious to our supplies and ammunition we don't want to waste without proper resupply sure we have some smiths but it would only go so far before they getting strained of resupplying us" Said Ronan
"Not to mention the ingridients needed for black powder and proper place to make one" Said Nath in agreement with Ronan same as others as it was be a big problem for them, they know their General to be one of the best logistics general in their side but even he was cautios of spending too much of their resources could become a problem which many officers suffer from his wrath if they waste it needlessly
as they are talking Mark was silent, Chris notice the General quartermaster "Is something wrong? Brig,General" Said Chris as he look at Mark hearing him several others look at mark
"Mark? speak up is there a problem to our supplies and ammu?" Said Ronan with a bit of worried tone knowing that they must do everything they can to make sure that they can preserve as much ammo as possible and have trained his army to be up to standard of regular army to his volunteered forces as might as well they are in the regular army another reason his prowess was effective as his troops have been trained the same standard as the regular army which is many have joked about from his fellow generals that he has the most elite troops because they are trained like regular army and not to mention he further enhance their training after they have certain experience to be put on veteran elite units
"That's the thing general it's opposite" Said Mark as their eyes blinked
"Go on" Said Ronan knowing Mark that have served him for long and Ronan yesterday inspect their supplies with satisfiction
"Our supplies and ammo somehow become larger, 5 times if i have bold to say so" Said Mark with a tone that even he was in disbelief
"What?!" Said every union officers
"I'm telling our 6 months of supplies have been increase for such a large margin that we could fighr on for years, hells we even have enough ingredients to create more black powder without the need to worry outside help" Said Mark
"That was strange" Said Ronan with a thoughful look when planning about the campaign he made sure he will have enough supplies to hold on his army for 6 months during his campagn and have before Sherman's march he coordinate other administration and quartermasters and private sectors to have sherman enough supplies for his campaign without the need to forage on the confederate line still he needed it to maintain his supply until he secure supply line for his army
"indeed General" Said Mark
"For now we'll wait for the scouts to return for their report of their findings in this strange new land" Said Ronan
A soldier entered "Generals, sirs scouts has returned!" He said
"Finally, bring them here" Said Ronan
____________________________________________________________________________________________
"Any findings soldier?" Said Ronan
The scout pant lightly before speaking "General, there's a wall in the south 5 miles away from here, we could reach there half an hour sir" Said the scout
The Generals and officers looked to each other "Does the wall looked natural or built?" Said Nath
"The structures tells us it's built sir" Said the scout
Ronan was thoughtful before speaking "Gather the men, we shall head south and have talk with whoever civilize people that we are going to talk" Said Ronan as he stood straight he then looked to the Scout "How big is the wall scout?"
"700 ft in height sir, and well i don't know the length as it's stretch miles upon miles sir and it's made of ice"
Ronan raise his eyebrow "it reminds me of Great wall of china but bigger and made of ice, interesting" Said Ronan
"Great wall of China is built to stop the mongol horde but this wall? what kind of enemies whoever built it that they have to make it that big" Said Joshua Ronan's 2nd best General his the Jean lannes from Napoleon's Marshals
"Only if we ask question, for now we'll be marching there" Said Ronan

Scene Change
Half an hour later, after some rousing speech from Ronan to his army, their morale restored and march towards the Wall, upon seeing it, many looked awe and amaze at such a height of the Wall but they still maintain their march even the drummer boys din't stop beating in rhyme Ronan the Yankee doddle
There they saw 3 persons riding horses likely came to talk to them for diplomatic talk, Ronan along with his generals using binoclears, he gallop their horse to the front while they use trumpet to halt their marches as one the entire army halt their marshes in perfect unison, one of many Ronan's successful training program for his army and the Union as even other generals saw it's benefits as soon as they feel relax that the War won't be coming to the north anytime soon which they can train better quality soldiers up to standards to the regular soldiers
One of them bearing a white banner, The oldest looking appeared to be in his 50s, while the two younger man appeared to be in their 20s
One of them gallop towards them, he has a long black hair and gray eyes, the man begun to speak
"I hope your intention are not hostile foreigners" Said the man, though his tone are caution not knowing if they speak their language as his accent are different
Ronan sight along with his generals in relief "Well that's certainly no language barrier" Said Ronan in his american accent
The three looked surprise "You speak common" said the led man
Ronan raise his eyebrow "It would be English to us" Said Ronan
"En-li-sh" Said the led man as he taste the word
"it's certainly better than common" Said the Old man with a chuckle
"As for your question, no we are not in hostile intent, me and my army swept away from the ocean and we are quite been looking for civilization for some time" Said Ronan, needing to lie, as no one would believe being transported here
The young adult nod in understanding still feeling a bit intimidated by his army "Who are you?" he ask
"I'am Ronan Belleza General of the Union army, of the United States of America" Said Ronan
"United states of America?" Said the three man "is that your kingdom is called?" said the Led man
Now knowing that he is a general, "Likely a high born lord of a Great house" Though of the three
"Yes" Said Ronan "And you are?" he ask
"I'am Jon Snow of house Stark" Said the now identified Jon Snow "besides me is currently temporrary lord commander of the Night's watch Eddison Tollett and my Advisor Ser Davos Seaworth"
Ronan raise his eyebrow "Night's watch? is that a military order and lord Commander being the leader" Said Ronan
Jon nod
Ronan sight before speaking "may i have permission to cross your wall? my men are weary and needed shelter" Said Ronan, not wanting to tell them that they are at war
"How many men do you have?" Said Jon
"250,000 soldiers, and not counting the Camp Followers" Said Ronan
The three gulp of hearing that, Ronan could not blame them for that as he appears to be leading an army for conquest
"I assure you Mr Snow we are not here with any ill intent just wanting to survive is our only intention i wish only my people's safety" Said Ronan
Jon looked to the two as they whispered to each other before speaking to him after the Old Man appeared to be the most have a wisdom
"Alright Lord Belleza, i shall let your people cross the wall, i have no in position to refuse to those who ask for shelter" Said Edd "I'll have some of the Gates to be opened, i'll have some of my men to guide you there"
"Thank you" Said Ronan with a grateful smile "I'll also have let some of my men to enter first, they'll be the ones to make plans to where we would camp, as long as you also provide a map and explain the area that would be helpful Lord Snow" he then put on the trumpet signaling the man to resume the march

Scene Change
Jon snow along with Edd and Ser Davos cross the wall
"Are we sure we should allow them?" Said Edd in worried tone
"What choice do we have Edd? the White Walkers will only have them as a new army, and 250,000? along with Camp followers? the realm won't survive it even with being united, we have no choice but to allow them to, and i pray to the old gods i made the right choice" Said Jon, he may no longer be the Lord commander and a Night's watch brother because he died and his watch is ended but Edd still follow his decision
"His a Veteran Battle hardened and battle tested Jon i knew it when i see one, and i can tell he see more battle and deaths than even Lord Stannis whom i serve before his death" Said Ser Davos, being been at service with Stannis he can tell that about Ronan, he saw the General does care for his men
"At least they're civilize man Alright unlike the WildLings" Said Edd with a grunt, the man and his army are organize which is a sign of an organize army with likely possible clear leadership, Davos grunt in agreement how organize they do not know
Then Jon's sister approach them
"What's wrong Jon?" Said Sansa in worried tone
"Foreigners we have to let them cross the wall" Said Jon
"Isn't that a bad thing?" Said Sansa feeling that her half-brother is stupid to even let foreiners to cross the wall
"Trust me on this Sansa" Said Jon as he looked to the Blue uniformed man appeared to be surveying the land, as well as another brother of the watch who help him explain the land
Not long after they could hear the sound of drum and the earth trembled at the collective unison of foot marching
They looked at the Gate and with it every brothers looks in anticipation as the first column of Soldiers finally cross the wall
it took them hours before the last of the Camp Followers entered, as Ronan approach them "Shall we talk, i hope to know more about this realm" Said Ronan as well as some of his generals follow him
'of course, follow us" Said Jon as he gesture Sansa "This is my Sister Sansa Stark"
"My Lord" Sansa do a Curtsy towards the towering man
Ronan bow as a sign of respect of the European nobles when he travels there, "My Lady" he said "i'll talk with my nation and people and culture so that we won't have some problem in the future"
jon nod in agreement "Come' he said with it They go to his former solar
