1	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5262483/1/Liberty_Rock Liberty Rock]]'' is a Zelda FanFiction written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1429291/Sergeant_Conley Sergeant Conley]]. It's set after ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' and tells the story of the [[TheSiege Siege]] of Liberty Rock, a fortress located near the border of Hyrule and its neighboring country of [[MythologyGag Calatia]]. When Calatia erupts in civil war, Hyrule supports the Loyalist faction after General Vael, the man behind the attempted coup d'etat, threatens to invade a part of Hyrule if it means ensuring his victory in the war as a whole. Zelda sends troops of Hyrule's best cavalry to various forts on the border to prevent such an invasion, one of which is Liberty Rock.

3	Before one of the troops heads out, Zelda sends its leader, [[TheCaptain Captain Rhodus]], to Ordon Village with the task to convince Link, who has become a traveling hero for hire, to partake in one last adventure for her. Link accepts, planning to use the reward to make a new home for him and his pregnant wife. Rusl volunteers to come along as well, wanting one last adventure and recognizing the need for more experienced warriors. The troop then heads out to Liberty Rock, where they join a disturbingly small garrison of Loyalists lead by [[ColonelBadass Colonel Gavelston]] and includes Gavelston's assistant [[BattleButler Turo]] and Calatian hero [[TheBigGuy Bargus]]. The day after arriving at the fort, they're surrounded by a Rebel army personally lead by General Vael.
