The Reich
The War
As the Vadian colony on Prase falls, more Reichian troops are being sent overseas to help their allies. The air and artillery campaign continues as the bulk of the Reichian Luftwaffe arrives on the battlements.

One strange occurance happened in one of the more quieter sectors of the front. As Reichian troops looked up to a strange sound in the sky, they saw one of their own airships, as indicated from the Reichian coat of arms painted on the side of the ship, flying high over the battlefield over the enemy sides.

The Nifs were being integrated within Zodiac Culture. As they were, the Imperial military station in the new lands had run into two frail and timid Nif females. Unsure of what to do, the soldiers decided to follow the two into the forest where the two Nifs, scared hid from the soldiers. One of the soldiers reached under his helmet scratching his head. "What should we do?"

Half an hour passed with the two Nifs still hiding behind a bush. The General in charge of the Imperial Garrison station within the new provinces was brought to where the two Nifs were hiding. Leaning over, the general began to smile. "Take them to the Emperor. For he must be notified of our discovery." The soldiers saluted, as they cornered the two Nifs, attaching a form of collar around them, as they were escorted to the trains.

The train ride took several hours but, once it had arrived at the docks, the two Nifs were presented with a bustling port. Merchant ships were flooding in with goods, with workers busy taking the cargo off of the ships.

The two Nifs stared in awe at the marvelous technology. They became even more astound when they were escorted to the GPN Goréz. The Current Flagship of the G.N.P.Z.E.N. And the world's most powerful ship currently. Bolstering a staggering, 6 main turrets to a devastating broadside or artillery barrage. Ecstatic, the two Nifs boarded the large battleship, under the supervision of the Captain.

Pretty soon, the Battleship raised it's anchors and set said for the seas.

While sailing, the two Nifs' curiosity and innocence earned them the respect and friendliness of the crew on-board. The Captain even allowed the two young girls a chance to see the bridge and conning towers of the vessel, where they were blown away by the technology used to keep the ship running. The days sailing, the Nifs and the crew became ever more close. Almost like family. They would spend their days running from bow to stern, playing games with the crew. Assisting with cleaning the decks, assisting with food preparations.

On the final day of sailing, the Nifs, as well as many crewmen were given the opportunity to eat a hardy meal under a clear night sky. There, the Crew would teach the Nifs about the constellations, and Zodiac fables and tales of old. It was easy for the Nifs to understand thanks to a Mage on-board who was capable of language magic, to allow the two Nifs to understand every word that the Zodiacs spoke. And, eventually got a chance to sleep with their new friends or family on-top of the second rear turret.

----

As Dawn began to take over the skies, the skyline of the Imperial capital could be seen approaching closer and closer. Several hours later, the Battleship, GPN Goréz, had docked at the Imperial Naval HQ dock. The Crew and the Nifs hugged and said their goodbyes. Many of the crew were saddened that the two had to leave. Some of the crew even broke down into tears as the two girls were escorted by Imperial intelligence agents and soldiers.

The two Nifs were escorted into a black motor vehicle, and when both of them turned their heads towards the battleship one final time, they would have seen the entire crew of the battleship leaning over the railings, towers, turrets, guns, and even ontop of each other as they waved at the two Nifs, shouting their farewells.

-----

The Drive to the Imperial Palace took an hour, as the vehicle entered the old part of the capital. The two Nifs were mesmerized by the large structures, statues and grand canals of Old-Zéros. The vehicle turned a corner, where the grand gates to the Imperial Palace opened up.

The vehicle stopped at the gates of the Imperial palace where the Imperial Subjects of the Emperor were awaiting their arrival. The two were escorted through the long and grand hallways of the Palace, before stopping at the gates of the throne room. Pausing for one moment, the lead Subject opened the armoured, and golden doors of the throne room.

The throne room was 5 stories high but, only encompassed 2 floors. The white marble floor which lined the centre gave the impression of a pathway to the grand staircases, where the Grand Throne stood. At the top of the stairs. The two Nifs stared in awe. Before them stood the Grand Imperial Emperor himself.

The Emperor stretched out an arm, gesturing the two girls to come closer. The two were reluctant, as they could sense the immense magical aura surrounding the Emperor. Sensing that the two children were intimidated, Emperor Heine Kéizmaradéz, started to smile, just a little smile at first, but as it grew it pressed his cheeks up. The Emperor then slowly stood up from his throne, presenting his arms as if he were performing a trick.

"Come."

The two girls were initially hesitant but, eventually, the warm and welcoming aura that the Emperor gave off from his expression prompted the two to slowly approach the Emperor, stopping at the foot of the staircase. In turn, the Emperor slowly descended,stopping at the last step. he stared at the two girls, who both stared back at him.

"They are a part of the new race of inhabitants that we have discovered your Grand Excellency. We have named them Nifs." The Lead Subject Informed. The Emperor placed each of his hands over both girl's heads, ruffling them ever so gently. His smile growing larger with every passing second.

"You. What is your name?" The Emperor asked the red haired Nif.

"M-Myra." Myra muttered, staring at the marble floor. "How old are you?"
"twelve." Myra replied

The Emperor nodded, turning his head to the grey haired Nif. "And you my child?"

The Nif stayed silent for a couple minutes, turning her head and eyes away from the Emperor. "Scilicia."

"And are you twelve also Scilicia?" Scilicia nodded her head in response.
The Emperor smiled in response. "Do you have parents?" Both girls quietly shook their heads. "I see." The Emperor replied softly.

There was a brief pause as silence filled the throne room.

"Myra Faris Kéizmaradéz. Scilicia Tara Kéizmaradéz. Those are your names. From this moment on. This palace are your homes. Treat it like it is yours." Hearing this, prompted both Myra and Scilicia to raise their heads to stare at the Emperor with hopeful eyes. "You both won't be alone anymore. You have me. I will take care of you both from now on." The Emperor assured. Both Myra and Scilicia's faces lit up as the two children began to smile.

The Emperor raised his head. "Ladies, Gentlemen. Meet the two Imperial Princesses of the Empire." The Emperor informed as his Imperial Subjects bowed before the two girls. "Now. Take my two daughters and give them proper clothing, and also show them their new quarters. Notify the kitchen to begin preparations for Dinner."

Sin'dorei Imperium
​

It's been several months after the Sin'dorei Imperium and their northern neighbor, the Elven Empire have made peace with each other. With the Elves from the north aren't a problem to the Blood Elves anymore, they shifted their focus towards the cat people; the Khajiit Union who are still ravaging the southern lands of Sin'dorei and most of the Blood Elves from the south flooded the northern region of Sin'dorei Imperium. Due to their technological advancements made by the Blood Elven alchemists, the Empress of Sin'dorei Imperium, Lyandra Sunstrider, who are vying for vengeance against the Khajiits, are ready to use these new technologies they've achieved.

Meanwhile Empress Sunstrider denied the peace offer from the Khajiits as they want vengeance for killing their Emperor during the Khajiit attack on Silvermoon City and exterminated most of the Blood Orcs which destroyed the pure Sin'dorei nationality. Most of the Sin'dorei armies from the north left the Sin'dorei-Elven war and headed to the frontline to ultimately destroy the Khajiit frontline there.

The Blood Elven warrior and the Blood Orcish warrior would be disbanded and combined it into Sin'dorei Grand Army, equipped with rifles that has incendiary bullets. The Sin'dorei hunters/huntresses collided with the Sin'dorei archers and would be renamed to Sin'dorei Skia which is one of the deadly units along with the Sin'dorei Paladin, Sin'dorei Legion, and the Thrall legion and the Sin'dorei Skia are now equipped with sniper rifle and stealth equipments.

R & D



The Sin'dorei Dragon Tank was finally finished in 1918, the purpose of this creation is to use this against the Elves from the north however since they're now at peace with their northern neighbor, this will be used against the Khajiits. Armed with a flamethrower, the Sin'dorei Dragon Tank is most effective against infantries, scorching them instantly, and can also be used to quickly clear garrisoned buildings. In addition, it is also quite effective against light vehicles, light tanks, highly effective against buildings. The Dragon Tank can also spray flames back and forth in a 180 degree arc, making it an effective area denial weapon, albeit with a relatively short range. While doing so, it can fire normally upon approaching enemies.


The Sin'dorei Gatling Tank was also finally finished in 1918, the purpose of this creation is to use this war against the Elves from the north however since they're now at peace with their northern neighbor, this will be used against the Khajiits. The Gatling tank fires incendiary bullets creates by the Blood Elven alchemists. This is considered as an anti-infantry, anti-air, and anti-light tanks. The incendiary bullets can go through walls, especially light tanks however the Gatling tank is no use against a heavy tank. The population increased supposed to increase by 20 million but it decreased to 19 million due to the fact that estimated 1 million plus people have died from the Sin'dorei-Elven war, the Khajiit attack in Silvermoon City, and the Khajiit invasion to Sin'dorei (later would be known as Sin'dorei-Khajiit war).



The Sin'dorei Inferno Cannon was also finally finished in 1918, the purpose of this creation is to use this war against the Elves from the north however since they're now at peace with their northern neighbor, this will be used against the Khajiits. Inferno Cannons are self-propelled howitzers, firing incendiary shells that explode and burn on impact, doing the great damage to softer targets. Inferno Cannons are designed to operate in groups of three or four.


The first creation of an airplane. This is called SIAF-1. It's armor plates are highly solid and it is difficult to take down this airplane due to the fact the magic users made the armor plates highly solid but it's weakness is its "whirly-thing" (I don't know how it's called). It's bullets are incendiary and the SIAF-1 would drop a wildfire to the enemies. With SIAF-1, the Sin'dorei Air Force is established.



And last but not least, the Wildfire, the most finest creations of the Blood Elven alchemist, it was finished in late 1917 although it wasn't publicized until 1918 for private purposes. Although the Wildfire will be kept by the Blood Elven alchemist to keep it safe. Wildfire is a highly volatile material; when ignited, it can explode with tremendous force and the resulting fire burns so hot that water cannot extinguish it. Only by smothering the flames with large quantities of sand can they be put out. Wildfire is identifiable by the distinctive green hue of its flames and a bright green color in its liquid state.

Sin'dorei-Khajiit War

A large Sin'dorei military force, combined with the Blood Orcish armies (whom they are the last Blood Orcs) from the belligerents of the Sin'dorei-Elven War will be led by General Syetanni Brightsky with the help of General Jukha and General Go'el to repell the Khajiit invasion and to retake the southern provinces back to the Sin'dorei Imperium.

It will be a total of 400,000 Sin'dorei forces and this would be a large deadly campaign in the Sin'dorei history. Many of consists of riflemen, the Sin'dorei Paladin, Sin'dorei Legion, the Thrall legion, the Sin'dorei Grand Army, the Sin'dorei Skia, Sin'dorei Magic users, and the Sin'dorei Forest troll army.

The newly-built Dragon tanks and Gatling tanks would now go forward towards the Khajiit frontline accompanied by the large Sin'dorei military force. The Inferno Cannons would now be placed and are ready to fire the incendiary cannons. And the Sin'dorei forces are divided into three groups that will attack the Khajiit positions. And SIAF-1 airplanes would be sent to dominate the Khajiit airspace in the Sin'dorei-Khajiit war.

The Inferno Cannons would bombard Khajiit positions deep in the occupied territory with incendiary cannons and the large Sin'dorei force would quickly enter the Khajiit frontline, killing Khajiit on sight. The dragon tanks would burn the hell out of the Khajiit camps and burning the retreating enemies. The same as the gatling tanks, gunning down the retreating enemies. And the SIAF-1 airplanes would take down any Khajiit airplanes in the air and would assist the Sin'dorei forces by bombarding with wildfire, after that the Sin'dorei forces would now occupy the Khajiit frontline (whom they call Sin'dorei Line). It's time to retake the southern province. Glory to Sin'dorei! Glory to Empress Lyandra! @Domini Regum

The light red is now under/occupied by Sin'dorei forces
The red dots are currently bombarded by Sin'dorei inferno cannons

Live battle initiated.
Contact:
The captain would just keep staring as a second spotter would lower her binoculars. "Welp, what do we- OH SHIT!" She was interrupted by seeing the now hostile fleet firing at them from long range, the shells simply all missing with one being the only one getting close to the ship, and throwing water into the air and onto the bow. The water once flying violently upwards would smack into one of the gun crew ammunition loaders, and throwing him on his back. Not causing any real injuries besides one hell of a bruise and dizziness. Usually the guns would fire back at this point, but recent laws prevented them from doing so without a captains orders. The captain would just lower his binoculars slowly and stare at the hostile fleet. "My god." He would say to himself calmly, before looking at the second spotter. "Inform the gunners, and prepare for broadside bombardment if they keep advancing." The captain would order before the spotter opened a door to the bridge's catwalk, and lean forwards after getting in front of the bridge, yelling out. "WELL? START FIRING YA BLISTERING IDIOTS!" The gunners would proceed to begin loading. While the bow was wide, it could not fit a entire line side by side. To counteract this problem, the two guns would be side by side to the front, and one gun placed behind them in between. This made the center gun have slightly less range than the other two, but be easier to target the enemy due to being in the center. "Loading HEPS heavy shell!" the left loader said, The right loader would load in a shell with a I imprinted onto it. "Loading APIS!" The right loader yelled after getting back up again. The middle gun would also begin loading but since it was a regular gun it cannot fire magic shells without bursting the barrel or exploding. "Loading shrapnel shell!" And after a few seconds, all the guns were fully loaded. "OPEN FIRE!" The first gun to fire immediately after would be the right 42MM, firing the ice shell. The general idea would be after the shell hits anything, it immediately freezes into ice and thus causing it to be weaker. This would in turn make it easier for the other guns to pierce the enemy armor. It also uses it's superior velocity to pierce through more, and thus making this seemingly useless shell much more threatening. All 42MMs and or shells have great or even greater velocity than the other, with the only exceptions being psycho shells and wind related shells. Which are designed more for the mental destruction of the enemy and or physical damage of personnel. Thus causing them to have greater mass and less likely chance of achieving any similar effects.

Immediately after the right gun fired, the left gun would fire it's HEPS shell, which is designed for creating a greater explosion similar to a 105mm [HE] shell and the inside gunpowder increases the blast pressure even more. It also is made to fire various forms and sized shrapnel, and originally was intended to destroy or lodge shrapnel into personnel or important systems. The reason this gun fired second was because should the ice shells hit the ship anywhere, and this shell hit near or directly on the now mass of ice surrounding the blast and hit itself, the shrapnel would dig into the ice while the blast and or extreme fire would melt or even destroy the ice. "FIRING!" And then immediately after that, the center gun would fire on the same target as the other two guns. The shrapnel shell being just that, launching large pieces of shrapnel into personnel. This was not intended to pierce anything or damage systems, but more anti-personnel use. The general idea would be if it did hit any ice, the shrapnel could lodge itself into the ice and nothing more. Causing more damage to the ship which would not be reparable. While there was a chance that a iced hull could be repaired or, the ice itself removed without damage of the original hull besides any actual shell piercing, it was generally accepted in the empire that a hull would be pierced and damaged should all go as originally thought.

The right gun would have reloaded directly after the middle gun fired, and thus created the "repeating barrage" effect. Despite being smaller guns, and perhaps having smaller caliber than their invaders do, it would amaze the hostile fleet that such small guns could even reach them. This is in part a "unintentional working design flaw" of the shells, which allow certain shells to effectively reach longer distances than others. The ship would go slow as they wished to keep up the bombardment but not get too close to allow the enemy to be at effective firing range. The other ironclad ship [At this point the INS Victoria classifies as a ironclad, though I'd say more like a weaker armed battleship or so.], the INS Burk, would begin getting slightly closer to get into a better firing range than the Victoria, and would have it's 42MM guns [3] on the top deck all loaded with APIS shells. Having relied more on the much more currently rare magical edition of the 42MM which has longer range, and thus sacrificing a entire broadside which could hold 5 regular 42MM weapons on each side on the second deck. They would attempt to fire at a second enemy vessel and knock out it's weapon systems, so thus they could board and hijack the enemy ship by sending in infantry on much smaller vessels afterwards. One gun would also periodically fire at both the same target and other vessels at random. 4 more ships similar to the titan class ironclad but smaller in height and slightly in length [Titan class ironclad being HMS warrior.] , would begin attempting to get closer to the enemy for boarding. 2 of them kept their original armament as originally armed with when constructed, and each having 1 magical 42MM on board. the other 2 which would be ahead of the former would only have their original armament and 1 normal 42MM guns. "Psycho shells sir?" a loader asked. "Da." She would reply... They were loaded with "psycho shells" which for the default gun, is a shell with immense noise which is meant to destroy the mental state/[cause extreme shellshock and or insanity.] and is similar to a shrapnel shell. However, the entire shell is filled with thousands if not more pieces of shrapnel should any personnel out in the open be exposed to it. [The shell would also cause anyone close to it to become deaf.] They would begin firing at separate vessels.

The remaining vessels were slightly more smaller than the larger ships which are scaled down titan classes. They didn't have any 42MM variation nor shells, and only their original armaments. They would sail around the Victoria to prevent anyone breaking through to easily hit her.
All the ships had at least one magic user under law, the Victoria has 3, the Burk has 3, The 4 ships attempting to board or suicide into hostile vessels would have 2, and the rest of the patrol fleet would have 1. They would act as quick damage control [Since a lack of necessary equipment is existing.] or heavy siege units when boarding enemy vessels. The Victoria has 2 ice witches, and a mage, the Burk has 1, 2 mages, and the rest of the fleet both have a witch trained with electricity and also a mage. The vessels with only one magic user has only mages. The 4 "ramming" vessels were incredibly spread out to make it harder to get rid of all of them. While two of the vessels for this purpose stay in the back to inflict as much "Damage" as possible before caring out the task. They would all also use the same tactic as the INS Victoria and imitate a constant repeating barrage. While it is likely that shells, especially the first few volleys, would miss entirely or remotely, there is enough guns and repeating bombardment from multiple sides against the hostile fleet. With all 6 42MM having vessels [10 42MM guns in current action overall.] Constantly bombarding the enemy fleet. The Victoria's default 42MM cannot reach the distance to the ships, but the crew hoped that if nothing else, the water would carry or bounce the shell and make it skip the rest of the way to reach the hostile fleet. However, this does not work. 3 of the ships with 42MM guns would attempt to fire at the enemy fleet's bridge with their ice shells, while the rest would attempt firing at their guns, hull, indirectly attempt to hit their bridges as they believe the shells have a larger arch than they actually do. Am Vya [Your move big boi. Dodge this.]

Contact: Part II.[Did not know if I should add this to the original post above, or not.]
The messenger bird would of arrived to the nearby docks, with the letter stating that a unknown fleet was approaching and was unknown if hostile or not. Having a number of visible ships, and request of aid. This would be brought to the queen which was currently reviewing a zodiac ironclad with a force of royal guards. "Well then. I am unsure as to who or why anyone would wish to invade us, but they shall not pass." Natalia said monotone. Leaning over to the side on the bow. "But the ship isn't even ours, is it?" The soldier was confused. "If they all die horribly, we can pay off the people who gave them to us later. There isn't much use in saving something if it means we will all die for it. That is why we should go now." She would respond to the soldier. "So it is settled then, we shall meet them head on, and if necessary, prevent them from attempting to escape intact." Natalia ordered. "Yes ma'am." the soldier simply replied to her.


Second contact:
The air explosions would be seen over the border. "What in the hell is that?" asked one of the border guards, getting only a shrug in response. Out of curiosity, one of them named bob, would d proceed to investigate. Danzo

R&D:
The armored project is now experimenting on engine modifications and turrets, in the same time a larger model without 360 rotating turrets would be tested.

The A.N.G.E.L. project was technically completed. The prototypes would begin testing at the "Celestial sea" to see if any further modifications were necessary. By this time, 10 prototypes had been completed and 10 mages were gathered at the location, the "hidden spot" being 72 miles away from the coastal fishing town of fern. Testing proved to be strange, with some mages ending up beneath the water by accident but still capable of rapid movement and resurfacing. One mage simply ended up stuck in the water and had to wait to be recovered by ship. Another mage simply flew as expected, however after 5 minutes it appeared he ran out of mana. Most likely not having much when transferred to the gem and just fell into the water, also having to be recovered by ship. The rest of the testers did not experience any problems, and the creator was noted as saying: "It is beautiful".

The project to create more and modern factories would continue.

Due to the INS Victoria being out patrolling, further construction on her hull would be halted. But more construction of similar ships yet much smaller in size than the current Victoria, just like the first edition of her hull, would continue.

The armor modernization and side project would continue further. All parts were already obtained and modernization and or new armor would be constructed. Sadly the helmets cannot be modernized, but a new similar helmet can be. The helmets and breastplate would be the first to be modernized, with the rest of the torso armor being completely original. The helmet would also be designed for protection but also allow better ventilation.

Construction of the larger weapons would continue.

The Icarus gun mass production would be completed.



Cathedral:
Emily would be sleeping until waking up earlier than intended. "Are you ready now?" the priest asked Emily, smiling. "Oh, yes. I do not intend on leaving." she would then proceed to stand up. The priest would extend his arm to the side. "And here is some fruit. Follow me back into the council chamber when ready." He would leave and Emily would grab a fresh apple and begin chomping into it. The sound echoing in the cathedral louder than even the magical apprentices learning destruction magic. She would eventually enter the now empty chamber, which has a red carpet on the ground and torches as the only form of light. The priest would be standing next to a table with a bible and a few other books, the other books appearing to be in an unknown language to the current empire. One of them displaying drawings which look like female knights, except without the medieval armor. This confused Emily at it's sight because she never knew that something so absurd existed in those times. Emily only took this time to also look around the empty chamber, which had similar carvings and strange writing on the walls as seen in the underground. "I understand that you might be confused as to what this all is, and you want answers." The priest would walk over to the table and point at the visible drawing Emily looked at most. "These are what was before the empire. Some who still remember or are told think the empire as it is now, has existed forever. Others go to the extreme in their beliefs... In documented history of the church, they go by various names and nicknames. Valks, Heavenly soldiers, Spiritual guardians, Walküre, and so forth. They ruled the region that the empire now resides in, if not more... While currently lost to documented history, we believe they have reigned over these lands for thousands of years. With their official documented existence being in the late twenty-fifth crusade, against the beaum empire in around 1000 - 1700. and are believed to have originally started the war. Due to the sheer size of their empire and military strategy, it took a few hundred years to win. However after their army had appeared seemingly from nowhere, the war was easily won a few weeks later. The beaum empire was burned to the ground, and the majority of it's population were exterminated in the process without much resistance. However it is believed by some, even in the council, that they are a extinct race of gods and goddesses, and others believe that they are still quite alive but unaware of their existence or power... We have reason to believe that the world has shifted and grew since then, and what would of originally been thought regular graves to them, are now thousands of feet underground or so. We cannot learn much more until we figure out if such graves exist, and thus we will keep expanding the underground. I believe that they have indeed survived, but are also near extinction with the possibility of centuries or more of cross breeding. I have reason to believe that your bloodline is the purest of any found in recent decades. Though they were not confirmed, and died by mysterious means. So while I cannot confirm that they still exist, nor our empire's great history, I can confirm that they have existed at one time. That is why you are here now besides the fact that you accepted the invitation... While testing and if we can confirm our beliefs, training. I think that our very leaders are true gods rather than cross breeds, and has continued to reign over the land to this very day. However if you are not, or not strong enough, you may die from the tests alone." The priest told Emily. "I see.... Well I accept my fate already. What do we need to do?" Emily asked. "I know this is much to handle, and your life might be a structured lie. But you are still who you are, and I do not intend on forcing you to change your very being just to turn you into a weapon of war. From what I have been told after Natalia's experiment, you already seem to be broken. At times sounding extremely cheery, and others extremely sad despite you having zero difference in your actual state of mind. Believing you are perfectly fine, but on the outside you appear to be incredibly upset for example. And while I have no doubt that if this is true, it may break you. It may be necessary for our very future." The priest attempted to comfort her. "Now, all we need to begin is already here. Give or take a few outside areas for further testing, and reaction to some elements. Your training really depends on how in-tune you are with your abilities if you have any. It could take months, or entire years. However in some aspects, you might be training for your entire life. Due to you already having extensive military training and martial arts training, we do not need to spend years preparing you for what lies ahead."

National events:
More attempts by the government and stealthy hunters from verindum to capture the celestial guardian would occur.

Expansion:

Soon enough it was discovered that while the land and overall arctic was still extremely cold and uninhabitable to a normal person, the more arctic population of the empire and those closest to the arctic [and thus] experience the worst of random blizzards, were capable of surviving here. While not being recommended even those who live in the arctic itself do not wish to live there whatsoever. However few were curious or do wish to experience a hardened life there, and this eventually got the attention of the military. Official expansion plans were conducted on the eastern islands and the south. Along with this, research outposts/stations would also be constructed for resource analysis and land observation.​

 

[Am Vya]

The Kingdom of Låtvya:
Contact/war:
As the different types of shells hit the Låtvyan warships with varying accuracy and destruction the ships would still stand, pulling back a little before the battlecruisers turns its main guns to the small patrol force, submarines already advancing to the rear in order to ensure a path of escape is clear. "Load incendiary shells!" The commander of the ship yells into the radio, soon after the order is given said shells would be fired off into the enemy fleet(the incendiary shells are packed with gunpowder and flammable materials inside of the projectile itself, causing a big explosion and lots of fire everywhere) patrol force and land extremely close, around 3 shots hitting some of the enemy ships(of thy choosing), causing part of those ships to catch fire. "Fire!" The Order was given again and another salvo of shells flies towards the patrol fleet, although two of the cruisers had been hit and weakened by the enemy shells and thus were pulling back with the submarines.

Internal affairs/military:
Continuation of war drills is to happen, with the setting up of coastal artillery batteries and the amassing of the mechanized divisions. Meanwhile the second fleet gathered would depart from harbor and patrol the waters a bit south from the bay. A military parade will also be held in Kēnigsbergas as the soldiers march off to prepare for the war.

R&D
The new heavy tank prototype has had prototype models built and is finally entering limited production to test its capabilities, of course a new 57mm gun must be developed to be mounted in the turret as the 20mm in the light tank has been seen far too light.
The Zhvertlos heavy tank:

Expansion:
Settling of the southern coast is to start, ensuring that the nation has more land and regions to protect itself. Settling will be quick as camps spread across while towns/cities will be build in important locations.

Croinian-Vadian War

The southern line saw heavy fighting, with bullets and shells landing and hitting all over the place. Both sides were taking heavy casualties, but thanks to INSDF tanks the southern line was captured which forces Vadian forces to retreat. Despite General Barwalds want to push further against Vadian forces before they set up defenses, the attack saw more losses than expected. Numerous destroyed and abandoned tanks littered the battlefield, as well as scores of bodies from both sides. Thousands lay dead in the aftermath, with many more injured. The attack, formally called the Battle of Altenhundem, saw the largest successful use of tanks as well as being one of the deadliest battles in history. The most able men, numbering forty thousand, pushed along the southern coasts to capture vital port cities holding the Vadian navy. They arrived at the city of Rye and met starch defense by the Vadian military forces. The force was only supported by a couple of tanks and a few Croinian Guns. Meanwhile the navy was called to assist in the assault and bombarded the city, it's port, and ships. At the same time Vadian coastal guns began to fire into Croinian ships, causing heavy damage.

Meanwhile on the northern line, both sides were taking heavy losses. Even though Croinian forces were pushing into the trenches slowly, Vadian flamethrowers and artillery was causing extensive casualties. In the end despite the aerial cover, Croinian forces were forces to retreat back to previous front line positions. Croinian forces suffered immense casualties at the Battle of Osyth, but so did Vadian forces. Both sides were exhausted by the assault, forcing both sides to once again resort to trench warfare tactics and rely on artillery barrages to deal damage. All the while the northern line weakened and the southern line captured, Croinian forces in the central line prepared for attack. Then in the middle of the night a whistle was heard and thousands of Croinian troops supported by a few hundred tanks pushed and fought furiously in no man's land and in the enemy trenches. Initially the attack caught Vadian forces off guard, but due to the previous two attacks they recovered quickly and began to assault their enemy causing heavy fighting all along the central line.

Meanwhile in The Pocket the local garrison put up a surprising defense for a few hours, but in the end they were defeated and the area was secured. Croinian marines radioed to the awaiting Cascadian forces that the area had been secured and that they can send their main force to begin invasion. Defenses were set up quickly in preperation a Vadian counter assault.

At sea the Croinian navy were still being harassed by enemy submarines. As such the Croinian navy whenever they were attacked would have the Torpedo-Destroyers, who were especially designed for this type of warfare, fire at the submarines. Landing many hits, numerous Vadian submarines were sunk and destroyed and nearly every raid by them was defeated with decreasing casualties for the Croinian navy. After the submarines defeat, the navy began it's own raids by quickly appearing near ports and fire salvos for a few minutes at the coastal defenses before retreating due to taking damage.

Republic of Croina

While the war was going on the factories of Croina were pumping out new designs for war and in general for the war effort. A new weapon, named the AFR-1, was desgined and produced to be put alongside the current service rifle as it's automatic counterpart.


Meanwhile tanks and aircraft were being produced at an alarming rate, with Croinain tanks numbering near INSDF tank numbers. The navy also expanded further with new ships being launched and more battleships entering service.

Zodiac Front

The Savage fighting continued for months on end. The battlefield shifted as certain areas, the Vadian's resistance managed to halt the Zodiac Advance, while on others, the Vadians managed recapture the second line of trenches. The areas where the Vadians were able to make a successful defense started to stagnate as the Zodiac s began to replenish their troops and fortified their defenses. Along with it, the Teera Heavy mines were planted along these fronts to deter any Vadian advance. These areas also saw largely wars of attrition or defensive warfare.

The new MK-2A heavy AA guns had extended barrels and guns, enabling them to have far greater range. Outraging any fighter currently as they were essential in the AA defense of the stagnating fronts. Along with them, the new fighters were equipped with longer barreled machine guns, enabling them to engage the Julian fighters at extended ranges, decreasing the amount of Zodiac planes being shot down from the skies.

The Zodiacs continued their bombing raids on Industrial factories, and ports, damaging weapons production, as well as shipyards and docked navy vessels, and airfields extensively. At the cost of hundreds of fighters and many pilots.

The frontlines that have stagnated have not moved in months because of fierce resistance from the Vadians. While, in other areas, the Zodiacs were able to break through the defenses and push deeper into Vadian territory, with both sides sustaining many casualties in the process. it was slow but, the advance eventually gained traction before the Zodiacs started to set up defensive lines once again.

Rumors have been circulating of the Imperial High Command formulating a plan for a large offensive. By the end of the third month, the rumors have become reality as the high Command issued their new offensive.

"Operation Blitz." - A plan to break the stalemate in areas of the front lines that have made little to no gain.

In the areas that stagnated, the Zodiacs have prepared their advance.

Operation Blitz: 0 Hour

Deep into the night, the Zodiac Commandos ad imperial infiltrators snuck across no man's land as they assassinated any survey outposts or guards on duty. the infiltrators moved in to quietly kill some of the junior and senior officers stationed in the front, while commandos began to sabotage the communications and rig timed explosives which were simple a sack of grenades with a timed fused that would be activated by pulling a pin. Once they were done, the commandos and infiltrators snuck back across to their own trenches as the Zodiacs were ready to push.

As soon as the last of the commandos made it back across, the officers and soldiers began their push. The timed explosives blew up ammunition storage areas, as well as various bunkers, pill boxes and machine gun positions, and communication/command areas which would have caused panic for their enemies.

As soon as the explosives were detonated, the Zodiacs jumped into the trenches taking advantage of the chaos. Using their new sub-machine gun support units to mow down Vadians at close range.

Zodiac flamethrowers, shotgunners, light machine gunners also provide additional support.

The new portable infantry mortars also supported the men in their push.

The Zodiacs have begun to use various types of ammunition, including incendiary, and armour piercing ammunition for their rifles for greater lethality. Even coating their bayonets with poison or chemicals. The battle continued to wage with Mages providing support with barriers to protect platoons, and offensive mages harassing artillery, and defensive fortifications. The Zodiacs had the element of surprise as they quickly advanced through out the trenches with air and armoured support. Coupled with their creeping barrage tactic of using the artillery barrage as a protective screen. As the Zodiacs pushed deeper, the casualties started to mount but, it did not deter the Zodiac men as they continued their advance. Using smoke screens, chemicals, incendiary, armour piercing, high explosive shrapnel shells to disrupt the enemy. The skies lit up with heavy flak fire from AA positions.

Ocean:

The Imperial Submarine force, as well as destroyers, frigates and corvettes also provided additional support. The Zodiac submarines contributed to the Cronian raids by launching torpedos at docked vessels. Space_Kaiser

Kadath

In Kadath there had grown an odd pining and an ancient worry came forth. The spider knew their history or well their ancient history and with so many nations running around many tapping the depths of the world for various resources and reasons meaning they might tap into something old and forgotten. The ancient dead gods might not be as dead or death may hold less sway over them than one might think as every now and then a cult of madmen showed up claiming to hear them calling and no other nation remembered this threat. The spiders also wished to find their ancient culture something they had lost when they had been forced from the world long ago. So to find these threats and uncover ancient secrets a new organization was formed The Arcane Archaeological Society. This would be a group of mages, scholars, and explorers that would go to the hidden places of the world and to its hidden depths then bring discoveries back to Kadath for all to see. To house all the artifacts a new building was being grown a grand museum ready to hold the treasures of the world. To help these people get around a new form of ship was being made one that woudl fly through the sky like others did the waters, these special ships would not be war ships and be very light on weapons and made of wood instead of metal.

Xerula Kadath

Xerula did get a little tired of her work from time to time as luckily her country not being directly involved in a war she had only minor meetings to go to in order to talk about the finalization of things, how the people felt and how Kadath might grow. Still Xerula had yet to actually leave Kadath while others of her people had started to see the world and she could not help but be somewhat jealous, she was the queen yet here she was stuck almost always in the palace doing various forms of work or nothing at all sometimes. Well she decided that she would take a day to travel to another country and while for many this might take time Xerula had given her allies teleportation anchors allowing them to visit in an instant or for her to visit them and today she decided she woudl see the other side of the world. Xerula went tot he room that held the pads and over the one that was marked for the Zodiac empire wondering just where they had put the pad she ordered made for them.

Xerula Zodiac Empire

When Xerula arrived she did not see what she expected instead of grand halls or a resplendent chamber she got a rather drab and small area obviously made for functionality, it seemed that the empire had not seen the same use for the pad that she had. She had hoped to use them for visits and messages not for just troop transports really it was sad that even such a gift was being planned to be used for killing. Xerula after a short time woudl go to find some guards to demand to be taken to the emperor not fearing being shot given her heavily warded clothing that could take quite a few bullets .

The INS Victoria's captain would simply just keep watching the hostile fleet. "Hmmm..." The captain would begin thinking how to deal with this similar threat, but in the process the enemy had fired again. The hostile fleet would of hit 3 different ships with varying degrees of success, with one of the masts on the burk being blown off, the center hull of one of the smaller ships surrounding the Victoria would simply explode, and one of the 4 approaching now-siege vessels would have a massive hole blown into the top half of the bow. "GAAAAHUGH" yelled someone who got literally blown away in the INS Kelk. Fires were started, however the ice mage in the INS Kelk would simply snuff out the fires with ice. He would also attempt to block the massive hole in the bow and part of the deck with ice, but attempt to not turn the actually hull into ice. They would only near ever closer, and bombardment upon the hostile fleet would only get more accurate.There would be 10 casualties overall, but the healing mages would simply begin to slowly heal the wounded. There would be no deaths as of yet, and the crew of the INS Burk only had gotten more agitated by the damage of their beloved ship. "Ms. Hesher." The captain asked to. "Yes captain?" the spotter had returned. "Please inform the gunners to redirect their fire, and concentrate on the weapons system?" He had asked her. "Yes sir." She left again and would yell to the gunners, repeating what the captain said. "REDIRECT FIRE TO THEIR WEAPONS SYSTEMS!" The gunners would look back at her and nod. "Redirecting fire to the weapons system." They would begin to bombard the closest ship to the ramming vessels as they were before, to ensure that they would be incapable of firing, or at least without blowing themselves up.

A mage in the smaller ship infront of the Victoria would just proceed to both burn and slowly sink, despite attempts of putting the fire out. Instead, all of the crew would abandon ship after the captain's word. As the rammers prepared to board, and got ever closer to the enemy, their accuracy would slowly begin to sky rocket. Firing at the hull and indirecting the bridge of their original targets still. The enemy would be again, amazed. The 42mm barrage appeared to literally never stop, with guns constantly firing at them and dozens of shells launching at them within a single minute. 5 shells would be lucky to hit 2 ships [Of thy choosing] as the now rammers are getting closer.

Contact: Part III.
The new ironclads, and the remaining ships in the harbor/harbour would begin setting sail. 5 large ships would begin making their way to the north, having emptied the entire harbor. They would make it in short time, as the distance isn't too far away.​

 

[IneedHealing]

Xerula's sudden appearance would have startled the military personnel initially but, after realizing her intents, the military aided and escorted the Spider to the Grand Imperial Palace.

The military did their best to maneuver through the busy military base, that was prepping another sortie of bombers and fighters for yet another bombing raid on Vadian Industrial complexes. Bombers were being equipped with anti-ship, anti-fortification, and high explosive bombs.

Luckily though, the base was only several blocks away from the Imperial Palace, which was one of the more taller buildings of Old-Zéros. The old section of the city itself was sealed off by the thousands of year old wall that use to protect the old capital districts.

Xerula would have been escorted into the large building, through tall, grand hallways and staircases, and multiple corridors. The Imperial Guards stopped at the foot of the black gates, while one Guardsman entered, closing the door behind him. After a couple minutes, the same guardman opened the door, allowing Xerula to enter the small dining room.

Inside, the Emperor was seated at the centre, dining with two young Nifs. When Xerula would have entered, the Emperor, sensing her presence stood up from his chair to greet the spider. "I was told that you wished to be granted an audience with me."

Meanwhile, Both Myra & Scilicia continued to chow down on the various foods that were laid on the table.

Hidden Council Training Grounds

Hidden away in an unknown part of the country laid a training ground. This training ground unlike other training grounds seemed to be so bright the sky couldn't be seen. In this training ground stood six people, five of which were dressed oddly. The first was dressed in an all Red Suit , he is Pahu Red master Explosion Mage,the second was in an all Blue Suit , he is Pahu Blue master Implosion Mage, the third all Black Suit , he is Pahu Black master Ruin mage, the fourth all Pink Suit , She is Pahu Pink master Lava mage, finally the fifth in an all Yellow Suit was Pahu Yellow master Sound mage. They were masters in not only their element but, also master hand to hand specialists which was enhanced with their elemental properties. They were each given pistols which were modified to use their magic to shoot their element as a bullet. The man standing across from the five seemed to be a very powerful individual. He stood at a towering 200 cm, from what could be through the outline of his robe he was ripped, and he radiated an aura of power and majesty.

The Pahu Rangers all looked at him waiting on him to speak. He looked over them then said “You five have done well under my tutelage. I picked you all because I saw the greatest potential to be powerful. I Leves Pede Vehementi the only leader of our wonderful country. The one who is the council and the council he. The uncontested ruler of our beautiful country for the past eight hundred years. The strongest mage that has ever existed, the one that our God Pahuluku shines his favor upon. The only one left to have had a cat and dog in this fair country. The bringer of Magic and order to this amazing country of chaos. The only Mage who has ever learned how to split themselves using pure magic manipulation alone. I having brought you five to be given personal training from me! Not one-twentieth of me but, the real me! The last Pahulukian that can create their own children. However, you five shall be my pride and joy! My children trained in magic! You five will be a shining example for our excellent nation. You all will make our God Pahuluku proud! Now go forth and bring glory to your nation and your God!” They all looked at him in reverence and said “Domine!” They then rushed out of the training grounds eager to prove themselves. Leves turned to watch them rush off “May Pahuluku watch over you all in your endeavors.” he then walked off to take a stroll through his country.



Five Miles Off The Coast

The negotiator was shocked how did they know about that. “How do you know about that?” IneedHealing


Shared Border with Knight's Order

The children were running around the clearing enjoying their break when they saw a man walk out into the clearing. They quickly ran to their Magister and hid behind her. She quickly pointed her palm at the man as eight explosion circles appeared near him just out of view. “Quickly identify yourself and who you are!” Kazami42


Council Chambers

Leves sat in the chambers alone on a throne. The chambers were empty save for him and his throne. As he sat there he looked to be thinking. ‘It's been six hundred years since I was last whole. By now my citizens will have forgotten how I look. It's a shame how my citizens have forgotten. After the Civil War I had to erase most of our glorious history. Well, now it should be fine to make public knowledge once again. I, my council, has done a good job of keeping my beautiful country in top shape. Although they left the diplomacy to me. I'll send out a messenger asking for the Queen of Kadath to come visit me or I her.’ He pulsed his magic in a way that it felt like the council was still here. After a minute a messenger knocked and came in “You summoned me Coun-" at that moment he saw Leves. “W-Who are you?! Where’s the honorable council at!?” the messenger yelled but, all Leves did was stand while raising his hand then spoke “I am the council.” when he said that he split into the council then combined back “Do not worry young child for I am the council and the council is I. I am the leader of our magnificent nation. I am Leves Pede Vehementi, I ruled this country as myself for two hundred years then, six hundred years ago I split myself into the council. Now, child I want you to deliver a message to the Queen of Kadath, as well as, spread the news of my return. I expect you to do this perfectly. Do you understand?” The messenger could only nod in shock then, listening to the message and heading out. Leves sat back down and prepared to go to the Amplification Crater to announce his return.

After a moment he got up and split into councillor Nuntitus. Nuntitus walked out the room to pass the message on to begin construction of 86 MCWP. Karcen

Second contact, the border:
Bob was just searching around, investigating what the source of the explosions were. He was wary, rifle at the ready by his side. He would continue until random symbols started appearing around him. "HOLY LESU, WHAT THE?!?!?" Bob immediately throwing his hands into the air and his rifle falling to the ground. His eyes wide. Remaining silent afterwards. [Cannot really think of much else at the moment. sorry.] Danzo​

The class and Magister watched as the man dropped his rifle and said foreign words. 'Who is this man and what language was that? He's definitely not a Pahulukuian he doesn't have the Explosion in his eye.' While thinking this the Magister kept the Explosion spells primed and used her other hand to cast translation magic. "I'll ask again, identify yourself!" Kazami42

"Private Zimmerman 09751? Strange name however doesn't matter. What are you doing in Pahuluku Aina? Obviously you're not a Pahulukuian." She said while secretly preparing to cast a barrier magic to contain the Explosion if he made any funny movements. Kazami42

"Pahu what now? And why the hell are you in a uninhabited dead zone? This place literally explodes or generates a ungodly noise day end and day out every day, this isn't a safe place for anyone..." Bob was confused. Danzo ​

"Pahuluku Aina home to the Pahulukuians, devout followers of Pahuluku, masters of Explosion and Ruin magic, mightiest magic nation there ever will be.

"Reich? What nonsense such a place doesn't exist. You're in Pahuluku Territory, beyond us is the new Kadath territory and The Sun Empire. Are you okay? You're not making any sense at the moment." She stared at him with a look that he's not quite there. Kazami42

Five Miles off the Coast

Leves had arrived faster taking only a quarter of a day to get there. After arriving he hovered in between the two ships. "I am Leves Pede Vehementi, I am the leader of this beautiful nation, I am the Council and the Council is I. I am the favored child of Pahuluku his most devout follower. I am the last of the First Generation and the strongest. Tell me what brings you to my shores?" His words reverberated through the very souls of the people. Everyone within a hundred km radius heard him. His power was felt by all and they knew he was strong. IneedHealing

Bob only shook his head. "If that were true, then I would not be here unless some freak accident had happened earlier. And if that did happen, I would have a ripped up uniform, and would be begging for help. But I am not currently doing that now am I?" Bob had asked. "Or I would not even exist here in the first place. As while magic possibly can do everything, I am not apart of it." Danzo ​

"Bob, I'm going to show you a map and you're going to tell me where on the map are we. If my hunch is correct then you're a country that my nation has somehow never met before."

[Just imagine a map but only My country, the sun empire, Kadath, Kent's country, and chairman's country are on it] Kazami42

 

[Fishman Lord]

Biomancer's Cove
The nobility of Harukadia was gathered at the great University-Military Base-Port-City that was Biomancer's Cove. The work had been long and hard, but finally the great ship was complete. All gathered looked in pure awe at the beast-ship that was before them. The sheer size was amazing, coming in at 840 feet long. The bulk of this behemoth was a tuskwhale of epic proportions, genegineered to have massive amounts of fat to capture incoming shells. This was protected by a bark of ironwood, providing further protection against enemy weaponry. Extremely important areas like the brain and heart were further protected by added metal plates. Covering the entire creature was a web of vines and leaves, with the leaves ranging from the size of a penny to tens of feet across. This would use the sun to power the whole organism. If conditions prevented this, the system could also be directly fed although huge amounts of food would be needed. The ship had four conventional twin 10-inch guns and twenty conventional 3-inch guns. It also had two weapons dubbed Harukad's Thunder. This was the isolated head of a lightning-breather from the Southlands supported by a complex system of plants, fungi, and animals. It fired a bolt of lightning. The range was variable, although it could usually compete with the range of conventional shells. It was much stronger than a normal shell at close range and weaker at long range. At the front of the ship was a mass of enormous tentacles. If the ship could get close enough, it could use these tentacles to pluck off crew members, tear off weapons, and if close and charged enough even rip full ships into two. The tusks themselves could also be used in conjunction with the tentacles for serious damage. Finally, there was a special compartment in the whale that when opened would release about a hundred genegineered hawks. The hawks would target the closest enemy ship and descend upon it, ripping throats and flesh from crew and causing chaos and bloodshed. The crew of the ship would stay inside the interior of the whale, which had been extensively genegineered for that purpose. Crew quarters, kitchens, a meal hall, and all other necessary areas were incorporated. In certain circumstances, the entire interior could be sealed with complex membranes and throat closures and the entire beast could submerge for up to 75 minutes, although without the use of any of its weapons except the tentacles and tusks. The Biomancer's Cove had truly blown away all of Harukadia with this awe-inspiring feat of magic and engineering. Selwyth walked up to the beast and put his hand on its head. He looked into its eye and saw beauty and power. Funding for Biomancer's Cove was raised enormously and many students of magic began studying it because it was so promising. Many new projects began, including an expansion of the Roc Airfleet, more varieties of Bioship, and even biomancy in daily life like construction and genegineered pets and work animals. This was a new age for Harukadia: the Age of Biomancy.

Expansion
Presence on the home island had further increased, as well as a new outpost even farther south in the Southlands. A winter fort was constructed and expeditions began to find out what resources and such were in the area.
