Chapter 358



3rd April XX91: The newspapers are filled by the yet to be empress’s picture. More of the word spread and more of the Federation’s reach had the Wracia empire in fear. The leadership of the four-kings was held strong by Paradus. A strong-willed and scary connection, the Wracia empire wasn’t only rumored to be strong, they were very strong.

5th April XX91: The General of Arda proposes to launch a full out attack to Kreston. The latter grew tiring, a campaign that could well last a few years.

7th April XX91: King of Arda returns. The Blood-king faction, most specifically, Serene, uncovered a plot to have Princess Lizzie assassinated. His people were asked to remain in the shadows and watch. Remnants of the fallen revolution, the noble-faction remained. A prediction and precaution that paid to be squandered.

9th April XX91: The whole province of Arda’s leadership goes through another change. Everything is rebuilt from the ground-up. New laws, new rules, new taxes, and new everything, the king had foreseen the future, thus, change happened.

10th April XX91: Discussion of a potential declaration of war against Kreston goes through the hierarchy. Queen Gallienne was unusually supportive as many devotes of Kreston’s god had the capital in chaos. Explosions, terrorist attacks, undue harm done to civilians.

16th April XX91: Gate Six goes into the testing phase for the first mana-converting engine.

.....

17th April XX91: Kreston’s activity is subsided for an emissary came from Paradus. It asked for them to hold and watch.

19th April XX91: The test is successful; all requirements were met. A secretive project of Air, Land, and Sea. During the time at Dreqai, King Staxius carefully planned and negotiated for Phantom. The arm’s company collaborated with Candil; a research group overshadowed by the Cobalt Unit. They were those who suggested a new innovating and more streamlined model for a plane. Thus, a collaboration of a which past the one-year mark came to an end. The model, engineering, and design phase were complete. A few prototypes were made and flown as dismantled-parts on the TU-03. Assembled at Phantom’s airfield, the planes had a flight of only a few hours. Their prowess was shown in full on the air-strike ordered for the supply route. A plane that flew faster than the eye could see.

25th April XX91: Plans for war goes into preparation. Spies are sent into Dorchester and Kreston.

26th April XX91: Crossing the border was more hassle than they would have liked. However, hope was an ever-elusive item. Help came in the form of a family member. Staxius’s sister to be precise, Claudia Haggard, a member of Whisper. Ex-member for she retired after a near-death-experience. Her motherly love overwhelmed the duties of being a spy. A spy that held a copious amount of information on Kreston. In addition to that, Elliot and his sister were brought in.

30th April XX91: Conflicts around the world are calmed. An uneasy silence, one that had many rulers question the intention of their allies.

14th August XX91: The non-aggression pact between the Wracia Empire and the Federation is renewed for another year. The support of the Alphia Empire had many plot their moves diligently.

18th August XX91: Hidros recovers slowly from the prior war. The inhabitant ventured around. The recession uncured by loss of funds had Oxshield rethink their strategies.

23rd December XX91: Four months of people living in peace. A fleeting sensation for the Pope’s team, the Syndicate, made moves in the underworld. Phantom’s status as mere distributor of God’s ale and Angel Dust is raised to family. The Haggard family with Staxius as the head. Families in the underworld were as guilds or clans. The Haggard’s were soon to take advantage of their authority. Godfather Renaud Lone of the Lone family is soon to take the Haggard’s under their wing. Respect and mutual love; Shadow’s identity assumed by Courtney, had risen in threat level.

24th December XX92: Close to a year went by. Princess of Arda finished her studies at Claireville Academy. She’s promoted and offered a scholarship at Iqeavea.

25th December XX92: Eira rejects the offer, she chose to enter a university inside Rosespire. One affiliated to Phantom for they funded most of the activities. Exceptional students with a talent for research were scouted to join Phantom’s research unit. The smarter they were, the more they were paid. The more they gave, the more they got.

6th January XX93: The Azure wall is complete. The threat of Totrya is handled by weaponry sold by Phantom. Adventurers are trained more thoroughly. Monster slaying became the norm, a new culture for the people knew how to deal with the commons.

7th January XX93: A year of planning for the eventual full-out war against Kreston led to this particular day. Armies and resources are sent from the nations of the Federation. Many landed at the now extended airfield of Phantom.

8th January XX93: Report say that Kreston prepared for the same eventuality. Emperor Paradus gives his full-support. The Cobalt Unit made improvement upon improvement to the point of it being redundant. There came a time where they proposed correct and innovative theories each week.

9th January XX93: Kreston and the Federation sent envoys to meet in castle Garsley. An effort to resolve their difference through discussion.

10th January XX93: The talk ended in a bad spirit. The bishop didn’t hear any of it. ‘Our God shall bless this continent. The unfaithful are to be burnt. They are to be shunned and killed; they are to be treated worst than the devil. Those who wished us harm and did us wrong are to serve the righteous hand of justice for our god is always right.’

12th January XX93: What many feared came to pass. The Argashield army was readied to leave for combat. First-order was to capture castle Garsley.

13th January XX93: The Argashield Army ventures forth to war. Staxius leads one of the companies.

14th January XX93: The bell for the retreat was rung a few days ago. Kreston willingly gave up castle Garsley.

16th January XX93: Planes are sent to scout; tanks are deployed as a defense. Hidden from view and intelligence, GateSix who went dark for the past two years resurfaced with new guns, weapons, vehicles, and engines. Efforts in investing funds for the scouting of talented scholars paid.

17th January XX93: A command center is stationed at the Noble District. Kreston is yet to be seen.

18th January XX93: Staxius moves to Frostrest. Conquering the mountain was another task.

19th January XX93: The Argashield’s army is ambushed whilst going around the mountain. The village of Frostrest soon turns into a battlefield. Forces of each side are paired equally with new technology and skill.

27th January XX93: The battle of Frostrest rages.

29th January XX93: Kreston flanks Argashield via the mountain. They moved by boats up a rather large river. Pincered, the Army of which was but 5%, the suppression unit, fought with determination. However, it did naught as the remainder didn’t ask for backup. King Staxius and part of his platoon were 2 days out of the unit.

31st January XX93: Explosion and gunfire break the quietude of the mountain. The battle was won by Kreston. Blindsided, the best strategy was to return to a more familiar area.

4th January XX93: Scouting planes from Kreston are shot by the Federation.

6th January XX93: Frostrest is deemed harder to control due to the terrain. A new plan of attack is brought forth.

9th January XX93: Ships containing 4 thousand men move from Arda to the North. The destination was a beach close to the Rotten-thicket.

10th January XX93: Forces are moved to Frostrest as a decoy.

17th January XX93: The decoy worked wonders. The platoon didn’t suffer much. A game of cat and mouse. Meanwhile, the sea-bound unit soon enters the forest.

18th January XX93: An airstrike is called by Staxius. One that only he commanded for the planes belonged to Phantom. Bombs were dropped, the carnage had many retreat to the border.

19th January XX93: Tanks stationed a few hours off of the village move in for the capture. A successful operation.

20th January XX93: The returning forces of Kreston are ambushed by the sea-unit. Total annihilation due to a single piece of equipment. A collaboration of which Staxius took part personally. A suit design to have the user invisible for 15 minutes with a cool-down of 3 minutes. The latter was given only to members of Phantom as it cost a lot of money to make. To ensure the operation happened without fail, a force led by Elliot soon overwhelms the terrain.

25th January XX93: Rotten thicket is occupied by the Argashield Federation. The status of the war was followed closely by the other empires. Wracia Empire, in particular, Kreston was but a means to an end. A convenient way to test the waters.

30th January XX93: The push is halted; attention is turned to caution. Frostrest soon turns to a military outpost.

6th February XX93: An unknown squadron of planes lays Frostrest to ruin.

8th February XX93: The occupation is hindered by the sudden push from Kreston. Rotten Thicket turns into a bloodbath. Phantom’s forces were long gone.

9th February XX93: The attack came from the Cobalt Unit. A revelation had many shudder. A mothership from which plane could land and take-off was seen few kilometers off-shore to Kreston. The Wracia empire’s crest reigned supreme. The Cobalt Unit perfected warfare on the sea whilst Phantom’s Research focused on Aerial combat.

20th February XX93: Each side suffers major damage.

21st February XX93: Wracia Empire blocked the trade route from the kingdom of Elendor. A strain that would push a stop to Hidros’ economy. In attempts to fight back, the Alphia Empire shuts its trade route to Wracia.

26th February XX93: The fight escalated rapidly. The initial contact was to gauge their opponents. None wanted to shot their ace. However, the game of cat and mouse grew tiring.

28th February XX93: Archangel Erna rises from nothing. She leads a charge down into the forest leaving nothing in her wake. Complete defeat, her force kept on advancing. The new Paladin, Angel Hamael, members of the Syndicate who were ousted from the underground. The strongest team they had. Not only did it stop there, but she also came with an upgraded army of puppet soldiers. Fighters who never died, a fight against the undead. The real project that the pope worked on for so long. War was a convenient way to draw attention away.

7th March XX93: The zombie army of Kreston teared through Dorchester. The Federation’s weapons didn’t help against never-dying fighters.

28th March XX93: The fight reached castle Garsley. The place where it all began. A figure stood atop the rebuilt castle, one surrounded by strong individuals.

“So, they’ve come,” he said with a nonchalant voice. The Archangel stared the King of Arda

What followed next was a scene of which words wouldn’t do justice. The fight raged Zombies against Phantom. The Argashield Federation army combined with the allies were left distraught. The king demanded that the fight be his and his only. The weather changed, the zombies stood waiting to pounce. Erna walked forth, “-Art thou he who the bringer of death referred to?”

“I might and might not be said person,” he leaped to land with the ground carving into itself. The weather changed from somber to one of which signaled the coming of death. Goddess Gophy and Goddess Intherna stood beside. Serene remain close to his side.

“I never forgive and I never forget. I’ll kill those who’ve taken from me and I’ll take from them ten-fold of which they stole. Prepare to die, Archangel Erna.” Xenosious, a pitch-black hemisphere shrouded the battlefield. Flames on one side and destruction on the other, the fight began.

30th March XX93: Krestonian’s zombie army died by Intherna’s hand. The vehicles and supplies were destroyed by Gophy. Last but not least, Death came to she who killed his companions.
