A Story Of A Country That Got Isekai'd

Chapter 121 - Turning the Tides

By nightfall, most cities goes dark as power supply were interrupted. And there were some cases that power plants and substations were subjected to attacks. Cell cites were also left inoperable, leaving most of the civilians clueless where their loved ones are amidst the total chaos that is ensuing on multiple cities.

Massive exodus began throughout the Kingdom, it's like watching a zombie apocalypse movie but worse as these 'zombies' are far more tough and aggressive. Civilians are quickly evacuated outside the population centers and into designated evacuation areas or simply on the freeway. Their cars acting as their only shields along with patrolling police officers.

As multiple population centers throughout the entire Kingdom were subjected to the vicious forces of monstrosity. The Regional Police forces and the military were not enough to contain and secure such a large portion of the land. It now seems the previous announcement of their newly crowned King about mobilizing the reserves are now coming into play.

As the Kingdom of Cardonia is already on war footing. Mobilizing the reserves and quick drafting of the Royal Cadet Force, basically college students that have undergone basic military training as an extra points for scholarship, were done in a short time. Reserve Armories containing old rifles in the likes of the HK33's and even some FAL's were already prepared in large boxes that can be loaded out into trucks in a short notice. Relieving forces quickly assembled for the 'garrison' forces holding the lines.

All of the eight divisions, except for the Expeditionary forces of the Royal Army are in the process of mobilization or have already mobilized. The railroads have been put into good use as much needed IFV's and APC's were transported from the army bases and garrisons right through the heart of major population centers under siege by savage beasts. The highways and roads were filled with evacuating civilians, proving the worth of the developed rail network.

Air mobility also become vital quick reaction forces as Blackhawks and other helicopters enable forces to repel from building rooftops, creating machine gun and sniper nests that serve over watch as the amassing bulk of Cardonian defenders rally onto the streets, ready to regain control of their land and cities.

As such, the Kingdom begun to fight back and regain control of the Kingdom. The reserves and voluntary conscripts might be not proficient with their regular counterparts, but shooting towards the large mass of monsters charging towards them requires little to no aiming whatsoever.

And as the military slowly created a unified command, police, the reserves and regular military forces are all put into a centralized command. This is in connection with the protocols of the Kingdom's Combined Arms doctrine. That in the event of an invasion or any militaristic threat, all the armed personnel would act as one unified force, increasing their overall effectiveness.

The demons kept streaming in from their mysterious purple magic circles, but as they flocked the streets. Weapons filled the hands of every abled Cardonian man and woman. Almost all have at least little background on small arms as an high school required extra curricular subject, this is in line with the Kingdom's century old tradition of fighting literally until the last man.

King Kharles watches all the action as it unfold from different divisions and battalions on the tv screens of the quiet town. Command and control equipment vital to keep up with the operational tempo of the evergrowing unified command slowly arrived at this clandestine headquarters. Satellites and radio antennas were set up in a matter of minutes and hours.

Effective strategies used by a certain general from the other side of the Kingdom could be emulated by other commanders on the various fronts.

And as the Cardonian forces regain control and superiority, they began to shift from offense to a substantial rescue effort for any civilians trapped between the cross fires.
