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

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

2 Months after the reclamation of Fortress Schielde.Distraught at the loss of his fleet and forward army. The Emperor decided to send his Royal Fleet to bombard this "Cardonia".Words had travelled from continents to continents about the sudden return of a mystical country and it defeated the dreaded Empire of the North, the Empire of Scolus. The astonishing feat had portrayed Cardonia as the land of the Gods. Suffering zero deaths when their army of 1000 faced 40,000 Imperial troops was a favorite topic among merchants and storytellers alike.These figures were so absurd that many countries in the Central Continent, Collective Countries of the East and the Dominion of the South dismissed as fairytale and mere propaganda.The Empire has the strenght to at least go up against the mighty countries of the Central. Thus a country to the West defeating them is pure heresy for military officials.But the stories demeaning the great Empire of Scolus earned the ire of their Great Leader, the
