He is a competent admiral, but surely he didn't anticipate that he has now command of the thousand strong ships of the Imperial Grand Fleet.The Rear Admiral was lucky enough that his ship, one of the Super Dreadnoughts didn't sank. But being out of service, he transferred on one of the protected cruisers. "No sir! Lookouts didn't

Chaos ensued. The ships are now circling and or have slowed down as they tried to pick up the downed sailors.The seas are covered with blood and scraps. The fleets morale is in all time low, the flying swords were able to deal much damage but none were even shot down.Due to the fast pace of the attacks, many wyverns that were brought into flat top steamships, acting as carriers. Never got into the air as some were fast asleep and they need longer preparation time. They have at least a small assurance that tge next air attack would be challenge by their prized wyverns.When suddenly.*KABOOOMMM**PHOOOSSSHHHH*A protected cruiser exploded out of nowhere.

244DAY 86:30 AMJust as the sun rises, the Cardonian national anthen were played through the loudspeakers. For three days now, the town of Riba were subjected to the constant barrage of propaganda messages. Being a border town, a sizeable Imperial force are stationed here, almost a thousand strong.Using primitive muskets, soldiers stand guard atop the walls, compared to the previous town the soldiers here are for "front line". Thus the local resistance warned the Cardonians that they're facing a entire different force.A drone is constantly monitoring the entire town.When.A group of locals began to clash with the Imperial guards near the townsquare. Almost simultaneously, large groups began to attack and ambush the Imperial patrols on the town.The fire of revolution has finally been lit. This prompted the Cardonians to action.*BOOM*The 120mm cannons from the Leopard 2 tanks fired, lobbing high explosive shells towards the town walls.The whole Cardonian armed column began to a

Day 87:00 AMThe large Imperial fleet are still determined to reach the Cardonian homeland. Yesterday alone, they have lost half of their ships from the combined Cardonian naval and air attacks.Just last night surgical air strikes from the F-16's and accurate naval gunfire from the navy ships have decrease the overall morale of the sailors of the whole fleet.Cold sweat runs down on the fleet Commander Tsadra. They have experience the pure might of the Cardonian Navy. He is nervous on what the Cardonians would throw at them next. He is now beginning to doubt that they would be even able to see the Cardonian coast.Due to last night's attack, the fleet of Admiral Scanda are catching up to them. On the way, they've picked hundreds of downed sailors from imminent death. The Cardonian Coast Guard would eventually rescue them, but any rescue operation in an active battlefield would be dangerous.Within an hour, the two fleets have rendezvous, forming a giant 600+ ships fleet.An overwhel

DAY 98:00 AMThe Cardonian troops besieging the town, withdrew and formed a massive battle line, on top of the hills just next to the town.On the on the flat plains.A large formation of Imperial forces are on standby, they have arrive early at the morning. 16,000 combined swordsmen, archers, musketmen with at least 4,000 cavalry. They are forming large square formations, and are ready to battle. This is not including the also large Imperial force inside the town of Gralve.It is the main brunt of Imperial forces in the island. A large elite force that Archesia would need double the men to be able to defend such a large force.The Empire of Scolus are known for their ability to harness monsters to their army, ogres, orcs, lizardmen and goblins. Their large build and supposedly thick bodies, made them invincible against musket fire. Thus they are the primary infantry swordsmen of the Empire.Their musketmen and archers are also very trained well, with large military funding, everyone

DAY 912:20 PMThe large armored column slowly make it's way towards the town. Tanks at the front, followed by infantry, taking cover behind. The siege has resumed, this time, they are determined to take the town.A flight of six AH-64D's flew above the town of Gralve, they are to provide close air support. They then began to hover on top of the town walls.The sound of the whirring blades cutting through the air, left the Imperials ducking for cover."FIRE!"Dozens of muskets fired upon the choppers, as a reply for the irritating buzzing sound they made.At that distance, the muskets are inaccurate, and the ones lucky enough to find their way onto the chopper, simply bounced off from the fuselage.The pilots then replied.*TAKTAKTAKTAKTAK*30mm rounds began to rain from all directions.Followed by rockets.*KABOOM*Then the Hellfire's*KABOOM*The helicopters terrorized the walls, that the armored column came knocking on the gates unhindered.In the attack, the choppers knocked out m

As soon as the dust settled, the section commander of the Southern force inquired on what the hell just happened. Everyone is still bewildered, an unimaginable have happened right before their very eyes. They've witnessed a battle straight out of a movie."Demons, very rare breed, the Emperor of Scolus is said to be one. As such it wouldn't be weird to find them within the Imperial ranks. But didn't expect to find one here, a town commander? I expected that one would be that of the slained Imperial General or any of his officers." said the Knight, he is obviously exhausted from the duel."Incredible speed, and what the hell, guns have no effect?" asked the Commander."They are immune to normal blunt attacks and as it seems, even projectiles. None of your powerful weapons would work. Only Blessed Holy Weapons are the most efficient way, some magic and tada, reduced to ashes." dismissed the Knight as he brandishes his sword, the glowing light were no where to be seen.The Cardonian offi
