"My Hero, I will grant you all your desires! Please help us save my country!" the King then lowered to his knees and leveled himself onto the ground and got close the woman."Hero? Where? Where am I?" after uttering the same words the woman fell unconscious.The King then panics as he don't know what to do. He ordered his knights to take the woman towards his castle, they hid the woman on one of the carriages and hurriedly set off towards the castle. The very same castle that is still standing today that house the current monarchy of Cardonia.The King then rejoiced at his castle, he threw a big celebration and it was attended by everyone at the city of Esden.

A P-3 Orion of the Royal Cardonian Air Force patrols the waters North of Cardonia, they are 350 kilometers out and are near the Northern Continent."Contact! Two ships!"The plane descended just below the clouds and head towards the detected vessels. Cardonia has been monitoring the situation in the Northen Continent for quite some time now.It has become a point of interest because of its supposed oil deposits and iron ore deposits way up north. Based on intel from merchants, the Demi-Human Kingdoms are vassal states of the Empire, thus trading for their oil would be impossible for the Cardonians. Cardonian oil fields and even the new Archesian ones aren't sufficient enough to accommodate their demands thus sooner or later they would need oil.The plane flew above the ship."Looks like cargo, they are oddly designed huh?" the commander said as they observes the vessel through the aircrafts FLIR cameras. The vessel is a steamship with sails, built with wood and iron, iron barrels pres
Everyone just stood there, shocked by the revelations. They can't exactly know what to do.The demi-humans or the Giniana-ians continuously bowed towards everyone. That prompted the navy officials to say something, they were then translated."Please be on your feet, your concerns would be passed towards our authorities. For the time being, please cooperate with our procedures."With that the issue were resolved for now. The supposed Prince and Princess were then scrutinized, the two were theb escorted towards one of the buildings in the base, they were accommodated in one of the VIP rooms. Others were then escorted towards the facility wherein the crew of the Crelant were held. The facility has been turned to a proper holding area with proper bunks, bathroom and a large dining and recreation area. The "Ginians", the officers prefer to calk them that way, were astonished with how they are being treated.The situation were quickly reported to the higher ups and the Regent got wind of it

The Azaleans created a perfect harmony between magic and technology, this country however, lacking the magical prowess of Elves, focused their might on technology.For hundred of years, skirmishes between the Azalea and Dylasla were a common occurence. Dylasla are a Kingdom known for their brutality they constantly raid Azalean villages and even towns, but of course with the rise of Azalea, they couldn't compete against it's now more superior military. Thus the latter agreed for a peace treaty, ending the hundreds of years of bloodshed.But for years it tried to match its Western neighbour but they still couldn't keep up, but they do however became the second most powerful country in the world.Based on information gathered on A

And cried "YOUR GREAT ONE, YOUR GREAT ONE!"The door then opened slowly."WHAT IT IS YOU WANT?! LOOK AT THE TIME LEM!" the Emperor angrily shouted as he was suddenly awakened. On his bed, two women can be seened accompanying him on the bed."FORGIVE ME YOUR GREATNESS!

The Endeavour slowly steams on the Bay of Esden. Hundreds of Sailors, Marines and Soldiers man the rails. On her bow the Regent stands alone, he majestically flies the Cardonian flag. On her flight deck, six AH-64D's are in full display, armed to the teeth.A large crowd has gathered on the coast, on top of buildings or balconies, all are cheering for the departure of the largest naval task force Cardonia has assembled. Everyone was waving a Cardonian flag both small and large.*GOOD MORNING CARDONIA! WE ARE HERE LIVE AT THE ESDEN COASTAL PARK. As you can see the Cardonian task force are heading for battle. The Crown Prince is also on board the Endeavour despite various protests that he will be endangered, you can see him proudly flying our flag.

You can see their flag being flown on Endeavour's aft by, what is believed as their Head Knight.*Following t
Day 48:00 AMTwo A-400M's flew in formation just some mere 8000 feet. They are already deep into Ginianian lands."READY!""GREEN!""There's only two things that fall from the sky! Manna from heaven and AIRBORNE TROOPERS!" the lead jumper shouted as he exited the aircraft.Paratroopers then began to jump out on the side doors of the giant aircraft. Using static lines, once they've exited the aircraft, the parachutes deployed momentarily.For the local demi-humans living in the area, it was a surreal sights, hundreds of this green like mushroom slowly descends from the heavens from this giant noisy grey flying objects.A few Imperial guards spotted the them and quickly assembled a few of their units, every Imperial forces on the island are on high alert due to the attack last night.The troops landed on a large open field unopposed. They've quickly fixed their gear and began to regroup. Among them the five Ginian knights began to guide them to the forests as planned.The giant force w
Police officers and SWAT teams are now rushing towards the 5th street. The songs of gunfire echoed throughout the tall buildings of the City of Esden. Most officers now are armed with long guns even in their regular patrols as lessons from the previous attack on a town, Geilra to be specific.Brandishing their old but reliable M16A2's, HK33's and their new CZ Bren 2's, the police officers joined their already pressured comrades at fifth street.The massing army of beasts were then showered upon by 5.56mm rounds, some were even armor piercing, enabling the police to tackle even the thick skinned monstrosity. However with the intense fire, the large minotaur is still quietly standing still, it stands listless in the middle of the street, unbothered by the hundreds of bullets that were smacking him.A police helicopter, an Airbus H125 were now over them providing sniper fire from an officer with an M-14 EBR. The FLIR on the helicopter provided a clear picture for the authorities especial
KINGDOM OF CARDONIAA large silent parade of vehicles goes through the almost empty streets of the Capital City of Esden.Through their windows or tv screen. Citizens watch in sorrow as the parade honoring the late King and the hundreds of people who lost their lives on that fateful day 15 days ago. Hundreds of Cardonian flag were flown through the balconies and windows of the loyal citizens. They gave their firm salute as the parade passes them.Six BMW motorcycles lead the convoy in a triangle formation, A Mercedes hearse quickly followed them, a large convoy of black vehicles were also trailing behind. Inside it was the body of the late King. It is then followed by six Volkswagen Transporter hearse's, these meanwhile are the remains of the six valiant King's Guard who have died protecting him, as such they have the honor of being paraded with the King.The Air Force conducted a slow flyby with Blackhawk helicopters above the convoy as it droved through the avenues of the Capital,
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSNORTHERN PROVINCE"READY!""AIM" "FIRE!!!!!"*BANG.....BANGGGG!!!*A thunderous volley of fire coming from rudimentary flintlocks atop a stone fortress overlooking the crossroads connecting the Northern Province to the rest of the Empire.A large band of desperate beasts, wolfmen, pigmen, goblins and otger unknown creatures quickly fell into their knees as their bodies were penetrated by these very effective silver like cannonball.*BOOM....OOOMMMM*Another set of volleys this time coming from small cannons. Slinging large silver cannonballs to the enormous orcs charging the fort at high speed. The cannonballs rip right through their thick muscular bodies."RELOADING!!" soldiers shouted almost in sync as they quickly reloaded their smoking muskets."DON'T LET THOSE BASTARDS GET NEAR THE WALL!" an Imperial Commander shouted towards his shaken men.Dozens of lances and spears then struck anyone whose trying to climb atop their stone walls.After that, a second barrage
KINGDOM OF LITENIAPEARL PALACEA huge banquet was being held at the majestic cream white Palace, this is to celebrate the return of the Second Prince of the Kingdom from his year long adventure onto the desert continent of Sabrah. This part of the world remain as one of the most untouched regions as the very harsh environment prevents any successful expeditions.Various tribes also makes diplomacy as non existent as regions are divided among the many different tribes. However for traders like the Litenians in particular, the juicy resources that are hidden away in the various sand dunes are very hard to resist. From emerald, to gold, to iron and to this blackish flammable substance similar to their 'liquid fuel'.As such this dangerous endeavour is really worthy for this grand banquet.The King himself is entertaining many different merchant heads and diplomats from Azalea and Dylasla.This happened a few days after Cardonia has been attacked, before the new King has been crowned and
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSNORTHERN PROVINCEPROVINCIAL CAPITAL KAELIt has been three days since the Cardonian flying swords terrorize the Imperial skies and dropped these great fireballs all around the Empire. These stories quickly snowballed from one merchant to another, and within days the whole Empire knew what hit them and became anxious on how to prevent it.The chain of command as they know it has been destroyed in one day. Most of the higher demons are in the Palace that time for the Emperor's supposedly week long banquet after their successful attack on Cardonia's own Capital.Local lords and Imperial commanders took over command of their regional units and what is left of the Main Grand Army after their main fortress also suffered the same fate.There are no words coming from the Capital on what is going on. They feared that Cardonia did wiped out their hierarchy in the series of attacks. Tension between the local lords and generals both demon and human are sure to spark sooner or la
KINGDOM OF CARDONIA7 DAYS AFTER THE ATTACKThe whole Kingdom is still in full lockdown. Police cruisers and policed versions of APC's like the Pegasus and Leland Bearcat's patrol every streets and avenues in a rotational basis for the last few days.But the patrolling armored vehicles despite the good-intentions, are making things worse for the citizens watching behind their windows, who have been clueless ever since the attack. There were no clear message from the acting government, for all they know, the Capital is in ruins and this country might be heading for the same fate, and this martial law like lockdown is further fueling their doubts.National television is constantly maintained and censored by the government, only airing announcements about curfew and other relief provisions but no answer to what is really happening, censoring the media is a no go for a country who values freedom. However the parliament decided to keep it's mouth shut until there is a clear direction. A go
A small flight of three F-16D Blk.50's and a modified A330 MRTT were flying one hour ahead of the nuclear strike group composed of the Sukhoi's.These sleek blackish grey fighter aircrafts with their protruding Conformal Fuel Tanks makes them the most beautiful aircrafts in the whole world, add the beautiful afternoon sun above them, they were literally glistening. These fighters specifically are attached to the 101st Fighter Squadron, the ones responsible for the protection of the Cardonian Capital, their squad mates did help out during the cruel attack, however this wasn't enough for the Squadron. The flyboy's are thirsty for revenge not only that these bastards desecrated the fabulous city of Esden, killed their King but their reputation as guardians of the Capital are greatly tarnished.They might not be the ones pulling the trigger, but it is a worthy revenge even if serving as spotters.The F-16's were equipped with a large Cardonian made Synthetic Aperture Radar and Laser Targe
HIDDEN ELVEN KINGDOM OF ALTAIRA few days ago.Their massive magic barrier surrounding their sanctuary were almost destroyed by the massive amount of Azalean airships breaking through.Their warriors gathered all their weapons and took their defensive position on what seems to be a sudden invasion by their distant kin.It was a surreal sight to behold as dozens of airships clouded the high mountain ranges that is serving as their natural barrier. Anyone would be edge when witnessing such fleet emerging out of nowhere.To calm down the apparent tense situation. The Azalean Flagship bearing their Royal Insignia quickly descended and Princess Penelope also quickly showed herself as a sign of peace.After a few explanations and apologies from both parties. The 'Altairners' welcomed their kin to the Kingdom. The Azalean fleet then scrambled to find any available space to dock or park.Princess Penelope and the Azaleans were warmly received by the Altanairian Queen. Penelope quickly discuss
The remnants of the once proud Capital city is currently being demolished by thousands of beasts and demons.The black scorched land provides this eerie canvass for the monsters that is swarming over it. They are clearing the rubble to make way for new infrastructure and military installations vital to the newly built Empire.A small group of humans from the Northern Province watches in pure terror of what has become of their revered Capital. Gold have once poured over the Capital now it reeks of feces and blood. It has been desecrated to bear oblivion.This small group were the once who have stayed loyal to the Emperor as such they would receive 'proper' treatment under the new banner. Somehow most of then were regretting the side they have joined, but hearing the news how the Easterners and of course the Southerners are being dealt with, they are a little bit thankful.One of the representatives vomited as they march towards the majestic Palace. He has saw a glimpse of a woman bein
