The necromancer dude has no seige gear, but WHORES, after doing an aerial reconnaissance, suggests that the large army you saw in the desert plain had siege engines.

You see two clouds of dust approaching, one closer than the other.

As you approach the closest army, the farthest army catches up to it.

You can hear terrible screams, as the Heavy Armor crushes Darkstar's army.

Arrive at HAB R&D's field headquarters.

Among the screaming members of the Penal Legions, dying of radiation poisoning, you find Colin.

The HAB will lay siege to the castle, but you will have to get in to kill the leaders yourself.

Wave your dick at the leaders and then decapitate them with a rusty plastic spork. :)

You have started another HAB civil war...

You are killed almost immediately in the multiple nuclear laydowns that follow.

Your corpse is reanimated to be used as a minion for the HAB.

Restoring from last checkpoint...

The HAB will lay siege to the castle, but you will have to get in to kill the leaders yourself.

While talking bear is doing the HAB thing, replenish undead army with recently dead, construct Throne of Bone Mk 2.

Look off in distance to see progress of monument construction.

Inquire as the willingness of HAB to "pimp my throne" with heavy ordinance.

Your attempts to replenish your undead army are unsuccessful, as HAB has already fed the corpses into its research programs.

Your monument is progressing with inhuman speed.

HAB asks for payment, in Uranium ore, for an episode of "Pimp My Throne, HAB edition"

Offer the now deceased Longsword of Logic in exchange for Pimpage. Research purposes alone should make it worth it.

The HAB begins research work on the sword. You are told that you are now ensured of you #1 place in the export queue for HAB weapons. As soon as the first internal contracts are completed, you will recieve your weapons.

All requests for increased priority must be approved by The Great Leader.

To reach The Great Leader, you pass through tens of thousands of newly summoned tanks.

Summon a 1GT nuke at the center of the tanks and blow it up.

You no longer have the ability to summon anything, as your sword was traded to HAB in exchange "to 'pimp [your] throne' with heavy ordinance".

HAB has now summoned several dozen wings of B-70s and F-12s.

You find out that this is a minor field army, and The Great Leader is back in Passchendaele City.
