With all the happenings on the Capital, on the battlefields of Scharen and the impending coup on the Empire. Many Cardonian researchers and volunteers have recently swarmed Archesia. The amount of "new" spieces of flora and fauna were a treasure trove for the researchers and scientists. Volunteers on the other hand especially those sponsored by the Cardonian Red Cross have been travelling all around the countryside providing medical programs.As part of the agreement with Archesia, Cardonia is obligated to improve the country through tech transfer and training. Spearheaded by Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Fisheries, volunteers and social workers have been continuously conducting many different training.On the agriculture side, the introduction of cross planting and more effective fertilizers were the key areas being developed. Many infrastructure programs are already being studied or started, this ranges from wind and water powered mills, creation of a systematic irriga
EMPIRE OF SCOLUS"*Huff*Huff* Aim and fire!"*BANG*"Fire!"*BANG*A line infantry fired two salvos of their trusted muskets towards the opposing soldiers loyal to the Emperor.These are the very same soldiers that were sent out to attack the Cardonian mainland, the sailors and marines embarked on the ships of the now destroyed Grand Fleet. They have failed to reach the peninsula and once they got home, they were severely punished by the Emperor himself. Dissatisfied on how things go against them, once they've have learned that certain military officials were launching a rescue mission in which they've understood as a Coup, they've easily agreed to join them. Amidst the darkness of the night, their salvos were accurate.A small squad of soldiers loyal to the Generals have infiltrated the large Imperial Central Prison and have let the dissatisfied Sailors and Marines rotting in the cells free. They have easily overpowered the Prison guards and captured their weapons. And now they are s
Prince Andruie have finally arrived on one of the secret chambers on the large coastal fortress. He had experienced such an extraordinary day when a few hours ago the Scolusians have launched an air raid.He proceeded alone on the small room reminiscent of medieval times. Awaiting him was a man in a very tight black suit. He is standing next to the old fortress windows, with the setting sun behind him, an aesthetic scene."Good day, Your Highness. Did you have a fun afternoon?" the man saif as he fixed his eyeglasses."Could have been better, and you never cease to amaze me Agent Belgium, fashionable as always." the Prince replied."Hehe, you flatter me Your Highness. But please address me with the usual." this Agent Belgium then replied."Sigh, alright alright. However, they are running late huh Manager?" Andruei asked.This man then turned on his clipboard, revealing an Ipad size device embedded on it. "They would be arriving in. 3. 2. 1!"As soon as he uttered the last number, the
The small fleet of Cardonian ships battled sea state 4 and 5 waves as they sailed in formation towards the Southern Isles.The large waves tossed the ships around like toys. Adding to the dilemma were the horrendous storm blanketing the whole area. The weather radar from the ships have warned them of the brewing storm, but with no other choice they pushed through.Surprisingly, they are yet to encounter the dreaded Southern Pirates, the weather might be covering their advance as the surface search radars on both the large coast guard cutter and the corvette didn't spot any suspicious vessels in the surroundings.The Archesian sailors that were guiding the Cardonian fleet were astounded with the fact that the fleet is maintaining it's speed and course considering the horrendous weather....CRNS SANTANThe 95 meter corvette are managing the waves well. Designed for extended missions on the perilous Atlantic, their hulls are streamlined for such seas. However, that doesn't prevent the s
The Dylaslan ships that are stuck at port of Naldia because of the ongoing naval blockade at both sides of the approaches are going to face the greatest backstabbing their country would ever face.Because of the shady deal between the Dwarven King and the Cardonian Crown Prince, the Naldians were pressuring the Dylaslans to leave their port. It has been days ever since they seek refuge on the tiny dwarven Kingdom and they have a credible reason to kick out the Dylaslans as they would invite trouble as they were harboring the enemies of the currebt dominant country that is rampaging down south, though the past few days were quiet because of the ceasefire agreement.Pressured, the Dylaslan then left the Naldian port and tried to break through to the Empire as the Naldians "tipped" them off that Cardonians wouldn't be able to patrol such vast oceans with their measly number of ships. Seeing this as an prime opportune to finally meet his beloved, the arrogant Dylaslan Prince urged the Cap
Whilst the firsherman and researchers were busy in exploring the vast almost untouched resources of the dozens of large shoals and submerge island features. The Corvette Santan were busy in monitoring the perimeter, it has been three days ever since the fleet have casted their anchors here.And there is already a couple of close contacts on what seemed to be the dreaded pirates. Only a few of the bravest fishermen from Archesia have occasionally fished here and when they returned, and they spread various stories about the vicious pirates and mysterious creatures that are rampant in these shoals, further scaring anyone in pursuing the resource rich seas.But the said pirates were only cautiously observing the fleet from afar, and for some reason they are not taking the chance on capturing or harrassing the almost undefended fleet.It might be the impressive aura of the grey corvette which basically towers over their sailing ships comparable to 17th century galleons and frigates. Well f
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSGRAND BAYA Cardonian P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol Aircraft were keeping a close eye on the happenings on the Scolusian Capital. With the destruction of their navy and overseas armies, the Empire has become a lesser threat and priority for the Cardonians. As currently they have no assets or whatsoever to present a credible threat to Cardonia.But the ongoing battle in the Capital has been a key interest for the Cardonian military. From what they have observed from the air from the last couple of days, it is firmly believed that a separatist force were besieging the Capital itself, they were able to basically encircle the whole city, they also have quite a sizeable fleet of what seemed to be captured ships.But currently the patrol plane was also monitoring another fleet of ships north of the Capital, their allegiance isn't confirmed at the moment."We can confirm at least 65 ships, made up of protected cruisers and steamships, and they are cruising at a steady pace of 12
CRNS KING500 KM SOUTHWEST OF CARDONIAThe second ship of the Emperor Class Destroyer is at her final sea trials before her commissioning. The large ship is a Cardonian version of the famous Spanish Alvaro De Bazan Class frigates. With a whopping 48 cell Mk.41 VLS, they are the most heavily missile armed Cardonian ships that would enter service in their entire history.Armed with a variety of ESSM's and SM-2's backed by the AEGIS system they are formidable air defence ships. The ship is also armed with the latest and newest weapon systems locally developed in Cardonia.One of which is the newest version of the Lancer anti ship missile now called as ELA or Enhanced Lancer Antiship. Which is heavily upgraded to be able to reach at least 350km. It is fitted with a larger warhead, better seeker and radar and a new turbojet engines that would eliminate it's famous white contrails and give it better speed and sea skimming altitude, it is basically an Exocet Blk. 3. It is projected to comple
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
