ONSLAUGHT | Short Film

Hey everyone! Thank you for stopping by! I'm happy to see that many of you have enjoyed Onslaught, and I can't wait for you to see my future projects! All feedback is extremely welcome here. I've noticed several [valid] criticisms already, and I'm certainly going to use them to improve, so thank you for this as well! Edit: Its a bit weird revisiting this comment section so late, but with the next installment of this series underway I feel I should clarify the story for everyone interested, seeing as it was quite a bit confusing. The Red and Blue kingdoms are enjoying a time of peace and prosperity, but one man seeks to undermine it all for reasons unknown. Sir Charles Merlyn, a General in the Blue Military, secretly takes measures that increase his standing among the people and paint the Reds as villains to seize power under the guise of heroism and the delivery of justice. With knowledge of an incoming Viking attack on Grad, Sir Charles has the gates of the garrison's keep sabotaged. This prevents the local defense from stopping the Vikings, allowing Sir Charles to arrive soon after and be hailed as a savior. He is also sure to use men from the Red kingdom so that they die in the place of his own Blue soldiers. In light of this event, Sir Charles now has the support of the people. Meanwhile, a caravan of Blue civilians is passing through an area marked for ambush. 'Red' assassins attack and murder the civilians, with one assassin's body purposefully left behind as evidence - the symbol of Red royalty visible on his cloak. This crime was organized by Sir Charles Merlyn, intent on framing the Red kingdom for an act that would seem perpetrated by the Red king himself. When the Blue patrol stumbles across the scene, they make haste to inform their superiors. Word will spread, and Sir Charles now has the support of the soldiers. A feast to celebrate Sir Charles' victory against the Vikings is underway. With the Blue and Red kings present, Sir Charles now has all pieces aligned to execute his grand plan. He organizes a meeting with the Blue King to show him the 'Royal Red crime' against the Blue civilian caravan. The King, however, refuses to believe the act, and so Sir Charles diverts to plan B: Murder the Blue King, frame the Red King for doing so, and wage war against the Red Kingdom. And thus, Sir Charles Merlyn erupts a bloodshed all while looked upon as a hero by his people, avenging the unprovoked atrocities led against them by the Red Nobility. Hope this served well for those who were interested but a bit lost!

The Viking Who sacrifice himself for the rest to escape 😢😢

That red absolute lad taking on two fully armored men with fists

The end with the two brothers - damn that was epic

Is this a prequel to all previous stories ? The end seems like the beggining for Brother

We've got a Mordhau cinematic universe on our hands.

A Behind the scenes would be cool, I'd like to get an idea of how much work these videos take

FROST YOU GIVE ME CHILLS. I hope everyone can appreciate how difficult it is to tell a captivating story without dialog.

The remaining two barbarians at the end "Sorry we were paid to raid and murder your kinsfolk, new neighbors"

Last time i was this early high-quality Mordhau movies like this didn't exist. Also, that segue to Brothers was neat.

4:38 That is what happened to Stark family XD. Great work i love it. I hope Mordhau devs will add maps with rainy weather or just night castle map would be really cool :)

Hahaha that was great! Well done man, you guys killed it. I felt some red wedding vibes

This is so incredible, I did not totally expect this story to link back to one of your previous story videos which caught me by a huge surprised :o. YOu clearly have demonstrated yourself that you have a vision of a director. I also do appreciate the people that volunteer to help out with your story and the well made design of this story of the origins between the free guards and teh iron company. I hope your channel grows and flourished up to beyond 10k sub and caught the whole entire attention of the mordhau community. You deserved it buddy :D

A story with no words can still produce a great plot

It was worth those long hours! Cheers lads, everyone nailed it, the master editor Frost deserves an extra applaus for not loosing his sh~t whenever we fcked up something. <3 Gj guys, this is awesome! Greetings - Papa Jim.

Love the red wedding vibes and how you tied everything together great job keep it up

Imagine a world without this game thats a world i couldnt live in

Oh my god! The unknowing transition from this story to the last one is just mind blowing! And to finaly know who the father was and how they got there to begin with. Just astonishing! You truly do have talent.

6:02 what an absolute mad lad

I love the story and the ending kinda touched my heart, thank you for the great video!:)
