Amidst the conflict up North, a thousand strong soldiers of the Archesian Royal Guards are undertaking a six-month-long training program under the supervision of the Royal Cardonian Army. And today marks the first week wherein the soldiers started their "schooling", they are on one of the largest army camps in Cardonia. And to mark the achievement of Archesian forces, they are conducting a marching drill in front of their very own Princess. The Cardonia instructors remarked the Archesians as very fast learners, within a week, they've mastered basic marches and salutes.Armed with refurbished Mausers and Revolvers they've presented their new-found skills."Left, right, left, right, left-right""Face to the right! SALUTE!""HAH!" shouted the soldiers as they take formation in front of the large audience of Archesian Princess and her officials and members of the Cardonian Ministry of Defence. The media is also covering the historic moment. For the local Cardonians, it is like they are se
A series of explosions from 155mm artillery shells pummeled the long newly built trench lines of the Dylaslan Royal Army. This were then followed by quick advance of a collection of armored vehicles.From a command and control Pandur II APC at the back, the various intelligence aircraft up above both manned and unmanned were giving real time overview of the whole battlefield. The primary targets were the Dylaslan airships, on which a few were already shot down by either the F-16's or by the SU-30's."ENEMY AIRSHIPS SOUTHEAST 20 KILOMETERS OUT! BE ON THE LOOKOUT!" radioed in by the section commander.For the last few days these airships were providing suppressive fire from their "guided rockets". Their magic arrows were inaccurate at long distances but good enough to impede the Cardonian advance. The airships are also staying at their maximum range as they could be easily destroyed by Cardonian tanks once they were close enough.Dylaslan artillery are also given limited use as Cardonia
The Cardonian envoys led by the Regent himself exited through the very steampunk train station outside the town. They were then guided by the buffed Naldian troops where the Regent were given full military honors as he enters the fortress the town. The buffed Dwarven soldiers lined up on the side of the street with their rifles held at their chest.Locals were then drawn in with all the hustle and bustle as the soldiers prepared to greet and accept these humans in very mysterious clothes.The Regent is escorted with the country's top diplomats, members of his Prince Battalion and the Royal Guards, some Archesian translators and members of the Archesian knights and the same could be said with the Ginians.The Cardonians were at awe as they observed this Dwarven size, not only because of the locals and basically every structure here at best 3/4's of the human 'normal size'. But how the town was carved on this side of the mountain, almost half of it is inside the mountain itself. Their a
On the battlefield of Scharen.The Cardonians have once again embarked on a frontal assault towards the entrenched Dylaslan positions.Massive Leopard tanks lead the way and are quickly followed by the different IFV's and APC's and dismounted infantry taking cover from the onslaught of Dylaslan 7mm rounds.*clang* *clink*The sounds of ricocheting bullets from their lever-action rifles and Gatling guns emanated from the tanks.The tanks and IFV's replied using their 120mm and 30mm respectively, quickly eliminating dozens of Dylaslans and kept the heads of hundreds more from the safety of the trench and sandbags. Cardonian mortar fire accurately destroyed the Dylaslan mortars and artillery, leaving them really outgunned."Keep up the pressure! We are capturing the objective today!" the field commander shouted through the radio. The objective was the hill overlooking the nearby town who has been under siege a few days back.The Dylaslans are keeping up a desperate defense.The armored v
News about last night's attack has spread like wildfire. It has now made rounds on morning news broadcast by the state television and private media. The Cardonian government is still not giving any specifics on what happened, the preliminary report only states that at least two dozen Cardonian soldiers were killed with a few Archesian and Ginian troops that were embedded in the front unit. And by afternoon images and videos have surfaced displaying the result of the magic attack. The tents have all burned down, pillboxes we're destroyed, the command center and medical outpost also didn't survive. Eight vehicles, three of which are APC's and the rest are IVECO LMV's have sustained heavy damages, the vehicles outer layer was burnt down.With the news reaching the higher echelon of the Palace, the Azaleans were able to get wind off it. And they are trying to contact Prince Andruei as they would provide the necessary help.The news also reached the Cardonian Regent, Prince Kharles, being
The Central Continent are known as the land of the of the most powerful countries on this world. Azalea and Dylasla are the most popular countries whenever the Centrals are mentioned. But most tend to forget or didn't bother to acknowledge the third country in the Centrals. The third most powerful country in this world, the Kingdom of Litenia.An industrialized nation south of both Azalea and Dylasla. Ruled by human monarchs, they've established a country that fully rely on machinations and the power of steam on stark contrast to Dylasla who have been trying to copy the Azalean blueprint on combining the best of both worlds, magic and machines. But apart from being an industrial powerhouse the Litenians are renowned for their vast trade networks, vast merchant fleets that scours the oceans to the east and south of the country.The country have always been a neutral state when the longstanding quarrel between Azalea and Dylasla are brought up. Even though they can't really match the mi
A few days have passed since the Litenian Princess arrived at the Pearl Palace. Today are the departure of the large fleet entrusted to her by her Father, the King. Litenian tradition abd structure of command dictates that if a ship of the line would depart along with a fleet with a peaceful task, a member of the Royal family should take command of the said ship and fleet with the exception if the said fleet is gearing for war.Currently the Kingdom has quite a number of fleets that are overseeing many trade routes, trade sectors and some overseas naval stations, in which Lylah's brothers and sisters were personally leading.Being a vast maritime kingdom, the Litenians have mastered the oceans and seas, they might falter behind Azalea and Dylasla when it comes to actual naval combatants but they as a people are very well versed in both naval combat and navigation.A large gold key hangs around the Princess's neck as she departed towards the docks. Currently the Crown Princess, her sis
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSFor days, the great ruler of the Empire, the Emperor has stayed cooped up inside his palace. Wherein he is splurging on dozens of women and gallons of wine every day.And at a certain distance away. A manor on a side of a hill overlooking the Capitak and the Palace itself, two high ranking officers shared drinks."The Great Emperor has really fallen to deaperation! Even the Prime Minister are not allowed to enter the Palace. And it seems the Emperor's vault are being emptied as he scrounge for more luxury.""We can't really do something about it Commander. And watch your words, the infamous Demon Guards have finally surfaced, and it seems a few of our colleagues were finished off when they tried to badmouth theLr! You are lucky enough if you only get thrown to the dungeons rather having your head displayed at the town plaza.""Yikes! With the Supreme Commander under house arrest. Our grand fleet lies in shambles, what have become of our great Empire.""We were going s
