The P-3 Orion ascended to 10 thousand feet and maintained cruising altitude. Within minutes they will be within visual range on the billowing smoke they've spotted.The decades old plane the came out in the factory in the late 80's is one of the primary Maritime Patrol Aircraft of the Kingdom of Cardonia Air Force. Anti-Submarine Warfare is it's strongest point, and for decades have the defended the seas of the Kingdom. Now the few planes left are being tasked to scout ahead. Because of the unknown radio interference, the High Command decided to used manned planes rather than unmanned ones.Thus the crew aboard the P-3's are technically the first one's to venture out onto the new world, a mysterious and dangerous one it seems.All the while they are gathering data on the new terrain. The geography have changed a lot. Their geographic maps of France are basically useless if they are going to use this as their navigation aide. They are flying without GPS, so they only have their Compass
The Prince then ordered his men to prepare. A company was sorted to do the scouting party. And the Prince will act as it's CO or Commanding Officer. It will be consisting of 3 Platoons. The first will be the HQ section, this is where the Prince will be located, the two will be mechanized platoons.The HQ section have a Pandur II command variant, two armored trucks for the supplies, two Humvee's and another Humvee modified as an ambulance, with a total number of soldiers at 30 including the Prince himself.The two mechanized mechanized Platoons have a Hyena 6x6 APC-IFV, this locally built vehicle will be the one responsible for providing fire support for the troops. The 30mm turret will make short work on any hostiles. Along with two IV's, Italian made with license for local production, along with the Humvee it is the workhorse of the army. And at last, each platoon will have an Humvee each, each Platoon has approximately 25 soldiers each.Two M113's with Cardom mortars are also to be
The convoy slowly continued forward. And within a few distance away from the town, the Prince and some of his soldiers disembark from their vehicles.The Prince is now sporting a battle dress for the royalty, mostly white and decorated with some ornaments. It is far more different from the woodland BDU's or Battle Dress Uniforms the regular army are issued with.A dozen soldiers along with the Prince are marching ahead of the convoy, with the one in the lead carrying the Royal Cardonian flag.People from the town quickly spotted them. A considerable amount of soldiers can be seened gathering up on the town walls. They seemed to be in a panic, bewildered by what are they seeing. A very mysterious envoy will be knocking on their gates.The convoy stopped short at the towns outer walls. They are a stone throw away from them. But the Prince and his soldiers continued their march towards the heavy wooden gates of the town.A soldier then knock. The thick wooder doors began to creak open. A
Bewildered and surprised, the troops outside of the town walls have their sights aimed at the now hostile townsfolk."HQ! Are you hearing this?", 1st Lt. Crowall asked through his radio, in which HQ is now tapped in.The supposed Princess then said, "Until my demands are not met, your Prince is in the mercy of mine.But the Prince then uttered, "You sure about that Princess? My troops there could take you all out in a jiffy.""Big words, Prince, as long that knife is touching your neck. I wouldn't think your soldiers would assault us. Mere arrow would not hit us that easily.", the Princess replied confidently. As the man holding the Prince tighten his grip on him."See that green speck of light in you chest, Princess?", the Prince then asked.As the Princess look for the said light. She tried to shrug if off her but it won't budge."What is this? Get it off me!", she then demanded.Knowing that it could get ugly real fast. The Prince shouted, "Under my control! Hold your fire trust...
The troops that was left outside the town's walls dispersed to smaller groups and began to encircle the town. They have every entry point sealed, small UAV's now guards the town 24/7, watching everything they do. They've enforced a blockade, this is a formal declaration of something short of a war.A surveillance plane was also stationed to monitor the situation. Reinforcements from the border has been called in. A company sized mechanized infantry with a company of tanks and artillery are now beginning to make their way. An equipment cache and a special forces platoon was also then airlifted towards the town.They have now have the tools to either rescue the Prince stealthily or go in guns blazing."Reinforcement will arrive this night. We got tanks and self propelled artillery along with another dozens of troops, I've been told they are hastening their pace. It's a full Combined Arms company from our battalion and of course air support will provided by both the army and the air forc
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. The whole company consist of two platoons of mechanized infantry along with a tank and artillery platoon.The APC's lead the way followed by tank platoon and further back are the artillery battery and the command section, in command is Lt. Col. Jhames Choro. He personally asked to make him the Command Officer for the reinforcments.They made their way om the grassy plains and overcome hills. 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
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
