KINGDOM OF CARDONIAPALACEThe large dining hall are filled with different Cardonian and 'Earthly' cuisines. The Cardonian King personally invited the two Princesses, Penelope and Lylah, for a grand breakfast. And they are in the dining table not as their country's official and representatives but as the owner of the house and his guests.And for half an hour, the old Cardonian King were enjoying the presence of the two lovely ladies."I would really love to have you as your daughters!" he excitingly exclaimed as he laughed on Penelope's story as she was exploring Cardonia."Grandpa!" retorted Prince Andruei as he sliced off a thin piece of glazed ham. He fully knows what the King meant."I would be glad Your Majesty! I totally prefer to be married to Prince Andruei rather be used as diplomatic tool and be married off on some faraway land!" replied Penelope, not realizing what her statement implied, sge continued on with her Belgian waffles."HAHAHA! It's high time that my beloved gra
It has been weeks since the Royal Family, the Leon's, was reinstated into power. With their trusted advisors and minders, they have been making progress in reunifying the Kingdom.Their form of government was utterly destroyed by the Scolusians when they've colonized their Kingdoms. All of their legislative and bureaucratic systems were all erased in favor of Scolusian delegated mayors and governors.When they've said destroyed, they really meant destroyed. Much of the nobilities were either killed, exiled and or reduced to peasant status. As such even with the central government being reestablished, they would be having a hard time in micro managing their provinces and distant cities and towns.This is where the bulk of the Cardonian technical support were being poured. Using their own country's political framework. They were suggesting that a modified monarchy would best fit the current Kingdom of Giniana.Wherein, the people themselves would be electing their local mayors and gover
KINGDOM OF SCHARENPORT CITY OF TALFASThe large Cardonian flagship has been moored at the entrance of the bay. Two smaller Flower class corvettes then serves as the Endeavour's close bodyguards as they stick in front of the large amphibious assault ship. The Emperor and two R-Class frigates sits quietly behind the ship with a considerable distance, they were providing the air defense of the small fleet. And not far away, an Azalean Battleship were anchored near the coast.The Dylaslans and Scharenians were in awe of the small collection of grey ships that were giving an ominous silhouette. They have a few ironclads and steamships that were tied on the city's largest port, but based on the stories and rumors of merchants, a single Cardonian ship is more than enough to take on eight Dylaslan Capital ships along with a few airships.The city were then buzzed by two Dylaslan airships. Speeding at almost 50 knots at almost 500 feet, they were awfully fast.The Cardonian's were still astou
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSSTEAMSHIP KILOVGRAThe setting sun provides a majestic view of the Scolusian ironclad. The Imperial family's flag proudly waves at her mast, signalling that a member of the Imperial family is in the helm of the ship. It would be unthinkable for such a ship to bear the crest of the Imperial family considering she is originally built to escort the large grand warships the Imperial Fleet proudly possess. But of course with almost all of their fleet lying beneath the waves, Kilovgra is the very few ships that represents the proud Imperial Navy, a shadow of it's former self.And today, the 'refugees' have anchored on the shores of a friendly town, small but enough to handle the hundreds of refugees aboard the hodgepodge of ships.The town is well within the territories of the Southern province, the very same province who is breaking away from the Empire. However, the local lord here is a very loyal subject of the Emperor and due to circumstances and it seems he now swear a
The surge of undead beasts have now completely overwhelmed the town's defenses. The valiant survivors of the 'Great Fire in the Capital' are the ones now holding the lines that is seperating the undead from the poor civilians who are desperately boarding any seaworthy vessel they could find.Almost all of the original ships and refugees that have escaped from the Capital is at full maximun capacity, and adding a few thousand more from the local town population isn't going to cut it."FIRE!" a screaming order resonated from the narrow streets of the town.A salvo of cannonballs then splashed through the wave of skeleton undead.The crunching sound of bones could be heard all around the town as valiant soldiers slash anyone who dares to cross their defensive positions."WE'RE NOT GOING TO LAST LONG!" shouted one of the ground commanders.His message were then relayed by the magic communicators to the Princess aboard the ironclad, Kilovgra."How is the evacuation General?" asked Princess
OFF THE COAST OF CARDONIAA Naval exercise between Cardonia, Litenia, Azalea and Archesia were being held for the first time. It was a concentrated effort by the two Princesses on their diplomatic mission with Cardonia.It was a sign of common understanding between the nations. And it was apparent becuase of their naval tradition, Litenia always invited their counterpart nation for some naval exercises.Litenia is proudly represented by their flagship, a cruiser, three destroyers and a support ship. Azalea deployed their prized airships, one flagship considered as a flying battleship as it is heavily armored and equipped. It's immense weight has left baffling mystery towards Cardonia's Physicist and Engineers alike. And it is escorted by six smaller vessel, categorized by the Azaleans as frigates.Archesia is proudly presented by now Commander Lectander Ortanio who is now in command on a captured Scolusian steamship. And he is escorted by two large ship of the line also captured from
CRNS CUTLASSA SHOAL OFF THE COAST OF CARDONIA"We have visual confirmation on the Imperial ships. Most of the ships are armed or are barely armed. They have white flags flying above their mast and a considerable number of people above decks." radioed by the commanding officer aboard the ship."We are going to need to notify HQ about this Commander!" the ship's Captain then interjected through his radio.He was communicating with the Valour, who is now acting as the command ship of the whole fleet, who is staying just on the horizon.The Cutlass is sailing at almost five kilometers from the starboard bow of the leading Imperial ship. They have been blasting them with signal lights as a way to communicate as currently only the Valour has magic equipment onboard.The visiting navies of the three countries would not intervene and would only watch idly by as a sign of respect for their host country's navy who has absolute sovereignty over these waters.Valour then notified HeadQuarters an
The large multinational fleet arrived at the mouth of Esden Bay.A couple of news helicopters greeted the amazing collection of ships as they make their way to the Naval base and harbour.Aboard the Scolusian ships, everyone is amazed on the city they were seeing right in front of their eyes.A large city with towers built with glass that is reaching for the heavens. It is no wonder they were so clearly unmatched when it comes to military engagements. Everything they were seeing were literally from another world, they are having a hard time thinking how the Cardonians achieved these spectacular feats.Princess Lyneth wonders with glistening eyes. She is seeing the very definition of Earth-modern city. She is nevertheless, astounded.The Scolusians also watch in surprise and anticipation as these smaller grey vessels, Harbour tugs belonging to the Cardonian Navy, pulled alongside them and began boarding them through the use of ladders.Armed men in light grey clothes with their dreaded
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
