The Endeavour slowly steams on the Bay of Esden. Hundreds of Sailors, Marines and Soldiers man the rails. On her bow the Regent stands alone, he majestically flies the Cardonian flag. On her flight deck, six AH-64D's are in full display, armed to the teeth.A large crowd has gathered on the coast, on top of buildings or balconies, all are cheering for the departure of the largest naval task force Cardonia has assembled. Everyone was waving a Cardonian flag both small and large.*GOOD MORNING CARDONIA! WE ARE HERE LIVE AT THE ESDEN COASTAL PARK. As you can see the Cardonian task force are heading for battle. The Crown Prince is also on board the Endeavour despite various protests that he will be endangered, you can see him proudly flying our flag. The government didn't disclose what is their true objective for obvious security reasons. A small Archesian company is joining them. You can see their flag being flown on Endeavour's aft by, what is believed as their Head Knight.*Following t
Day 48:00 AMTwo A-400M's flew in formation just some mere 8000 feet. They are already deep into Ginianian lands."READY!""GREEN!""There's only two things that fall from the sky! Manna from heaven and AIRBORNE TROOPERS!" the lead jumper shouted as he exited the aircraft.Paratroopers then began to jump out on the side doors of the giant aircraft. Using static lines, once they've exited the aircraft, the parachutes deployed momentarily.For the local demi-humans living in the area, it was a surreal sights, hundreds of this green like mushroom slowly descends from the heavens from this giant noisy grey flying objects.A few Imperial guards spotted the them and quickly assembled a few of their units, every Imperial forces on the island are on high alert due to the attack last night.The troops landed on a large open field unopposed. They've quickly fixed their gear and began to regroup. Among them the five Ginian knights began to guide them to the forests as planned.The giant force w
Day 41 PMTwo AH-64D Apaches, conduct patrols near the shoreline of the designated landing site, it's a long stretch of white sands, perfect for a large naval landing.On the Endeavour the Archesians watch helplessly as this synchronized chaos unfurls on the whole ship. Helicopters are being prepared on the hangar below and above the deck. Below the ship, a giant garage full of different iron vehicles are being prepared. Hundreds of Marines are embarking on the giant AAV-7s and the landing crafts.The Cardonians are redefining their knowledge on naval landings, wherein traditionally it involves a lot of wooden dingies.They were then suprised when the aft end of the ship began to take on water."Wait! Are we sinking?!" asked one of the Archesians"NO! We are not! Marines are launching!" shouts one the ships crew. The loud noise produced by different engines make it impossible to hear each other.The aft end then began to open and this larger boat, an EDA-R LCU were the first one to g
Day 44 PMThe large loudspeakers aboard the armored Humvee blasted the whole town with the Prince's message to revolt.The Imperial overseer guards are clearly outnumbered by the local militia. Clearly the Empire couldn't afford to deploy frontline units on some far flung town. Thus they deploy overseer guards, which is basically police officers, they also conscript the locals for guarding and policing duties.The local militia are only armed with rudimentary iron weapons, the overseer are armed with their favorite matchlocks and flintlocks, several small cannons can also be seen on top of the town walls, in which can be used against the local militias if they get any funny ideas, such as revolting.This time, it's different, the fear for the Imperials that is running deep on the hearts of the locals are beggining to fade. Their Prince's voice echoed throughout the town convincing that they could win against the Imperials and he has brought a formidable army, a revolt could be won. T
Day 56 AMEMPIRE OF SCOLUSIMPERIAL PALACEEMPEROR'S CHAMBERPrime Minister Lem Phrang once again struggles running towards the Emperor's chamber. The grand large hallway is proving that such extravagance is just a pain on the ass, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned.He rushed towards the gold plated door of the Emperor's bedchamber.Standing guard is a squad of the elite Rose Knights. An knight order full of the Emperor's women.He then knocked."Your Greatness! Your Greatness! Urgent news!"The giant doors then began to creak open, slowly."WHAT IT IS THIS TIME?! CAN YOU NOT WAIT FOR AN EXTRA HOUR?!" the Emperor shouted, disgruntled that his sleep were once again disrupted. He has a woman besides him on his bed."THE CARDONIANS HAVE ATTACKED!""Why are you suprised? We knew that they are going to attack us. YOU DISTURBED ME FOR THIS!""NO! NO YOUR GREATNESS!

Day 510 PMThe Company under the command of Lt. Col. Jhames Choro has reached the town of Zalnea. Along with the company is at least 200 men from the previous town, the town of Riba.They have already encircled the small town and thus the siege has begun. The Humvees are now equipped with Long Range Acoustic Device blasted the town all night long with propaganda. The Prince's message were played over and over again, including nationalistic songs and messages from the resistance, they are provoking the small town for a revolt.Around the same time, another company has liberated the coastal town West of the besieged larger town, the Gralve.It was a quick victory because the town is only guarded by a small platoon of Imperials. The larger local militia immediately revolted when their Prince made an appearance on the battlefield....10:23 PMTHE SKIES ABOVE INDAR ISLANDSAn Air Force C295 Persuader is conducting regular patrol.

The fleet have now been split into two.The three super dreadnoughts are dead on the water as they received serious blows from the torpedoes, luckily they are still afloat.It was confirmed that the Imperial Grand Admiral along with some of the highest officers in command of the Grand Fleet perished due to the attack."Any eye witness accounts?!" the Rear Admiral asked, he is Roghel Scanda. 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. The large fountain of water can be seen by the hundreds of sailors."PHANTOM!
