The quiet open fields beyond the border of the Cardonia was rattled by the sound of diesel and gas engines. A massive convoy of military vehicles are rushing in towards the towm where the Crown Prince is held hostage.A whole company sized are tasked to supplement the troops that the Prince bring with him. These are the from Prince's Battalion, the stationed troops from the town of Celeb were quickly assembled.

It was as easy task for their vehicles, even with the absence of roads the vehicles made it through.It was past midnight when they've arrived on the outskirts of the town. After a few obse

The massive army lurches towards the town. The massive fireball has left a big gaping hole on the town walls, the townsfolk are now in disarray and are trying to form a defensive line on the breached wall. The whole brunt of the army made up of beast are coming from the North of the town, the forward base is on the Western side.They are outnumbered by a good margin. From atop a hill, soldiers are giving the Prince and the officers intelligence on what is going on. The afternoon skies are covered by ominous dark clouds a sign of an impending thunderstorm."Should we help?" the Prince then asked the officers with him."We can engage them in a good distance, we could help them your Highness." 1st Lt. Crowall then said."But we don't have a good reason to help them, besides we need clearance from the top to engage them." 2nd Lt. Macres then added."In situation like this, the Prince has authority to give his command. Any kinetic actions now are justifiable, considering human lives are on

Hours have passed since the attack. The rainy afternoon had passed and the bright sun returned, for a few hours left. Cardonian soldiers are helping in treating the wounded soldiers of the town of Brancel in the Kingdom of Archesia. Everyone is still astonished on what just happened, the blackened land full of craters are full of the mangled bodies of different beasts.Goblins, Orcs, Wolves, Lizardmen and other demihumans have their bodies littering the blooded soil. These creatures are unknown for the Cardonians, they observed and examined the corpses, from afar they can't believed what they are shooting at but seeing it up close brings them chills.The men in olive green dresses storm them and began to help them in every possible way. Some are treating the wounded and some are attending to the corpses. What surpised some of the townsfolk is that instead of killing the monsters they treated them fairly and was taken away, probably as prisoners.It will be passed down as a story for g

A day ago before the Battle of Brancel, the Coast Guard ship Diana was patrolling the dangerous waters of the East of the country. Her mission is to scout and police the area and clear off local fisherman.This 100 meter vessel is only a decade old and is the largest vessel of the Cardonian Coast Guard. She is equipped with various rescue equipment, a flight deck and hangar with an embarked AS365 Dauphin, twin RHIB's are also hanging from her sides. She is armed with a Bofors 57mm cannon on the aft and 25mm autocannons on each sides. She is well equipped for Coast Guard duties.She previously served on the coast of Africa, helping poor African nations to patrol their waters. That be said, her crew is well experienced in sailing through different oceans and now they currently are.The oceans beyond the coast are surpringly dangerous. They are hitting Sea State 4 on what is supposed to be a calm bay.The day is slightly clear, apart from the prevailing winds from the West and the monstr

The discovery of the patrol ship Diana immediately became a state secret. Top military officials are beginning to devise a plan for a defensive countermeasure. This is hours before the Battle of Brancel took place. The Navy was put on a high alert and has summoned respective crews of their ships.Half of the Cardonian fleet are stationed on this Eastern side of the country. A good number of Frigates and Corvettes are stationed on the naval base of the City of Cleos in the region Coigor. This coastal city is located at the North East of the country, known for its vast iron ore deposits, together with some mineral deposits and wheat fields, it is one of the most important provinces of the country.The wealth of the province could be seen at the city of Cleos. This is also where the patrol ship Diana is based at, thus when they've arrived, the crew of Crelant wondered at the city full of tall glass buildings. It size cannot be even compared to that of their Capital of Archesia. They were

The announcement of their Crown Prince shook everyone. The government has enforced a lockdown for almost two weeks running. Although relief aid are being provided, there are no official statement from the government. The only thing that people believed are the reasoning that Europe is now engaged in an all out war. Russian aggressions in some other countries was at its peak, thus they were the primary suspects for the citizens.Even the crew of Crelant was able to watch the announcement. The Captain, Officers and some crew members were the only ones to understand the local language, thus they are in charge of translating it for everyone.The Crown Prince discloses everything that happened, every single detail ever since the 'Great White' enveloped the whole country. From the dragon attack and the recently concluded battle of Brancel. HD cameras of the Army documentation force provided HD resolution shots. They've showed uncensored videos from the battle of Brancel.After that the Prin

After circling the Capital City of Esden, the A320 carrying the Prince and his entourage finally landed on the Esden International Airport. The Archesians are once again had their jaws dropped as they marvel on the size of the airport. Several big white 'planes', far outsizes the one they've took. Several 747's and even an A380 could be seen on the apron.They were then guided towards silver looking 'helicopters' slight bigger than the one they've also took from the Town of Brancel. What they are staring at is NH90 helicopters, three of them are readied to ferry the Prince and his entourage towards the palace.They've taken flight and was able to once again see up close, the tall glass buildings dominating the city of Esden. They are on full disbelief on what they are seeing. A bustling Capital that does not have any semblance on their own.But they were delighted to see a familiar building. Although modernized and renovated throughout the years, the Palace have the semblance of a med

The sun shines through the pristine waters off the coast of Cardonia. Six grey ships peacefully navigates the calm seas, the flotilla is steaming at a speed of 15 knots. It has only been three days since the Crown Prince was proclaimed as Regent.The command ship of the whole task force was the R-Class frigate, the Response. She and her sistership, the Remembrance are the primary warships of the task force. Built in the late 2010's, these frigates are derivative of the MEKO-200 frigate designs of Germany, their silhouette closely resembles that of the variants of the Algerian Navy apart from the bridge being a deck higher and a different mast.Equipped with a forward 5 inch Mk. 45 gun, a whopping 32 cell Mk.41 VLS, equipped with quad packed ESSM missiles, it packs a total 128 missiles at full load. And to top it of all, 16 anti-ship missiles could be also loaded, but the Cardonian navy has developed their own missile based on the widely successful Exocet, a land attack version could a

The Marines had already captured the Southern part of the fortress. Leopard tanks mercilessly plow through the brick walls of the fortress. Marksmen took care of the archers from the top of the wall, MANPADs took out any remaining wyverns of the Empire.Hundreds upon hundreds of beasts and humans corpses lie on top of each other as they forcefully swarm the Cardonians only to be met with horrendous firepower. If they will not be killed by the tank, the IFV's would mow them down with automatic cannon fire, followed by the personal weapons of the Marines. The tight streets of the city provides maximum firepower of the Marines as they could easily focus their firepower to mow down waves after waves of Empirial soldiers. It was a one sided massacre."IMPOSSIBLE! WE ALREADY LOST TWO THIRDS OF OUT FORCES!" grunted the Empirial Commander as he can see his helpless troops get easily killed from long range."Commander, the wave tactic clearly isn't working, the troops are losing morale by the

"You....you... You meant to say that our forward force was completely annihilated?" a man dress in red robes startled. This is the Prime Minister of the Empire, Lem Phrang."The report goes on like this. 150 ships including the 'Dos Proden' had sunk, another 50 are known to be captured by the enemy. Out of the 40,000 troops on Schielde, only about a hundred was able to return, wyverns are thought to be wiped out."*Thud**crac*A man in red robes with gold ornaments pierce his sword on his glass table."The Archesians doesn't have the might to take down our glorious army. Who is it that helped them? Who is it?!" furiously said the man. This is Emperor Laude Scolus, a half breed of a human and a demon. He was the reason to unify his continent, thus demons and beast live together with what he calls "high humans". Humans that these beast would not ought to devour but serve."Your Greatness, reports when they were attack, points to the Centrals. Burning giant arrows that is capable of des
