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.

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

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.

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

The great Generals and the very few Admirals left, were summoned immediately by the Emperor."WE'VE LOST 800 SHIPS?! LOST THE WHOLE OVERSEAS ARMY?! WHAT IS THUS BLASPHEMY?!" shouted the angered Prime Minister. Every official can't raise their heads. The Emperor is sitting quietly on his gold throne."We..we have not yet lost the overseas army.

They are hours from the Capital City of Jesena, they would reach the gates just before sundown.The Cardonian naval task force is currently blockading the surrounding waters off the the Capital City of Jesena. This has prevented the retreat of the remaining Imperial ships docked at the large port.Even the city south of the Capital were quickly vacated, as such the small landing force liberated the city without firing a single shot.The last remaining bastion of Imperial forces are camped out on the large demi-human capital. The Capital could be compared to that of an Earth Medieval city, from it's large walls and architecture.Due to an earlier airstrike, the Cardonians destroyed the large magic communication facility located deep inside the City. They are literal

DAY 122 AMCAPITAL CITY OF JESENAThe battle of Jesena rages on, large billows of smoke can be seen miles away. Bright red fires envelops the northern side of the city. The last Imperial fort stands with a wall of fire protecting it.Even at the cover of darkness, the Cardonians efficiently broke through Imperial defensive lines. This has surprised the Imperial Commander, Derto Espret, as soon as the night set, battles were immediately halted as fighting under the darkness were nearly impossible for the torch equipped armies.But as he can see with his own eyes, the Cardonians are taking advantage of the night. The resting Imperials are getting massacred by accurate rifle fire.Thats why he has ordered a full retreat towards the heavily defended Imperial fort. While retreating they set dozens of houses alight, they also took dozens of hostages and hundreds more are trapped between the firefight and the raging fire. It effectively halted the Allied advance.Unbeknownst to the Cardonia
