The Cardonian government is still not giving any specifics on what happened, the preliminary report only states that at least two dozen Cardonian soldiers were killed with a few Archesian and Ginian troops that were embedded in the front unit. And by afternoon images and videos have surfaced displaying the result of the magic attack. The tents have all burned down, pillboxes we're destroyed, the command center and medical outpost also didn't survive. Eight vehicles, three of which are APC's and the rest are IVECO LMV's have sustained heavy damages, the vehicles outer layer was burnt down.With the news reaching the higher echelon of the Palace, the Azaleans were able to get wind off it. And they are trying to contact Prince Andruei as they would provide the necessary help.The news also reached the Cardonian Regent, Prince Kharles, being
The Central Continent are known as the land of the of the most powerful countries on this world. Azalea and Dylasla are the most popular countries whenever the Centrals are mentioned. But most tend to forget or didn't bother to acknowledge the third country in the Centrals. The third most powerful country in this world, the Kingdom of Litenia.An industrialized nation south of both Azalea and Dylasla. Ruled by human monarchs, they've established a country that fully rely on machinations and the power of steam on stark contrast to Dylasla who have been trying to copy the Azalean blueprint on combining the best of both worlds, magic and machines. But apart from being an industrial powerhouse the Litenians are renowned for their vast trade networks, vast merchant fleets that scours the oceans to the east and south of the country.The country have always been a neutral state when the longstanding quarrel between Azalea and Dylasla are brought up. Even though they can't really match the mi
A few days have passed since the Litenian Princess arrived at the Pearl Palace. Today are the departure of the large fleet entrusted to her by her Father, the King. Litenian tradition abd structure of command dictates that if a ship of the line would depart along with a fleet with a peaceful task, a member of the Royal family should take command of the said ship and fleet with the exception if the said fleet is gearing for war.Currently the Kingdom has quite a number of fleets that are overseeing many trade routes, trade sectors and some overseas naval stations, in which Lylah's brothers and sisters were personally leading.Being a vast maritime kingdom, the Litenians have mastered the oceans and seas, they might falter behind Azalea and Dylasla when it comes to actual naval combatants but they as a people are very well versed in both naval combat and navigation.A large gold key hangs around the Princess's neck as she departed towards the docks. Currently the Crown Princess, her sis
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSFor days, the great ruler of the Empire, the Emperor has stayed cooped up inside his palace. Wherein he is splurging on dozens of women and gallons of wine every day.And at a certain distance away. A manor on a side of a hill overlooking the Capitak and the Palace itself, two high ranking officers shared drinks."The Great Emperor has really fallen to deaperation! Even the Prime Minister are not allowed to enter the Palace. And it seems the Emperor's vault are being emptied as he scrounge for more luxury.""We can't really do something about it Commander. And watch your words, the infamous Demon Guards have finally surfaced, and it seems a few of our colleagues were finished off when they tried to badmouth theLr! You are lucky enough if you only get thrown to the dungeons rather having your head displayed at the town plaza.""Yikes! With the Supreme Commander under house arrest. Our grand fleet lies in shambles, what have become of our great Empire.""We were going s
KINGDOM OF ARCHESIAFor days now, researchers and scholars have been cooperating with the Archesian church for the development of more effective anti-demon weapons. The action on one of the Ginian town have proved that Cardonian has this one flaw and difficulty, and the armed forces are not taking any chances before the enemy learned and use this vulnerability against them.During their time here, they've learned alot of things that is shedding light of the country's main religion, the Church of the Blue Star. Cardonia was the only nation in Europe that didn't entirely convert to Christianism, even though it was greatly pressured by it's neighbours.They've learned that the Blue Star is one of the many stars this world are worshipping. The general myth of this world tells the story of one God and his daughters, the stars. This God then creater this world and it's inhabitants, he then created many races that would live in harmony in this blank world. Seeing the world is blank and borin
A large swath of land on the mountain border of Azalea, Dylasla and Litenia lies a large old castle. Created originally to fend off the monsters from the nearby mountain labyrinths, for a thousand years the castle still stands today and also became the birthplace for the longstanding peace treaty between Azalea and Dylasla with Litenia standing as the third party and neutral state actor. The perimeter of the castle are designated as a neutral zone. Wherein only 30 soldiers from each country are allowed to cross. The delegations are also limited to ten people, and the presence of a royalty is needed for any of the talks andmor dialogues to commence. Today, the Crown Prince of both Azalea and Dylasla would finally meet for the first time since their own respective coronation. And the Litenian King would oversee the talks himself considering the gravity of the issue at hand. ...

ESDEN AIR FORCE BASESirens blared on the only air base located on the capital. It is located north of the International airport and solely tasked to intercept and protect the Capital and the surrounding provinces under it's area of responsibility.Facing the Atlantic, the Squadron is also tasked for anti-shipping and area denial. The Falcons or the 101st Squadron is known as the Cardonian Version of the Capital Guardians.Sharing with the F-16 squadron, the air base also housed the various helicopters by the Navy, and the carrier based Harriers were also based here before their retirement.*SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE!**THIS IS NOT A DRILL!*The announcement echoed throughout the whole airbase. Airmen and aircrew jumps from their current positions and sprinted towards the park aircrafts on the hardened hangars. Four F-16 Blk 50+ are on quick reaction standby. The grey aircrafts even with their conformal fuel tanks are still sleek and beautiful.Armed with a pair of AMRAAM's, Derby
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
