Vastika, Havenklein, Commonwealth of Esterria, 4/7/1702
As the city of Vastika is still threatened by the EAS, that attempts to encircle the city. The Commonwealth forces were building up, with new equipments and men being transported into the region.

The rebel group doesn't know about the capability of the new weapons, but the coming Commonwealth offensive is sure to be more brutal than anyone could imagine, the only thing now is to wait for signal.

"Status report!" ordered Lieutenant Vincent van Kuik with a completely different attire. No longer did he wear his usual sky blue uniform, now he's adorning the dark green uniform and helmet of Flashia.

"Sir, the rebel forces had us surrounded to the West and South, but we now have men, 'howitzers' and APC's in large number" replied the soldier, who wears similar uniform as the lieutenant.

Vincent nodded in acknowledgement

"What about the Luftforsva or whatever they're called?"

"They are currently in process of taking off sir"

"And the musketeers?"

"They are at the walls right now, however they will be quickly replaced by ones in new equipment"

"Very well, you are dismissed"

"Thank you sir" as the soldier walks away towards the walls, to ready up for the offensive.

As to why musketeers are still being used in the frontline, this is to create an illusion that it's the same thing, a deception that would be broken when they least expect it.

The lieutenant looked at where the fightings are happening, with smoke rising from there and the sound of musket and cannons firing.

He takes out his hand clock from his shirt pocket and opens it, it's 3:17 in the morning. He then closes the clock and put it away, now he waits for the offensive to come.

...

Esterflaske Airbase, somewhere near Havenklein
The 127th Squadron of the Luftforsvar consisting of 8 second-generation Harriers have finished the mounting of weapons and refueling. The aircrafts then taxis to the runway, where they will take to the skies to conduct their mission.

Two-by-two, the Harriers waited in line until it was their turn, as the other pairs take off.

"Checking flaps and fins... okay checking if weapons are good... And then the VTOL nozzle, AI can you confirm that they're good to go?" said Hjertsson's wingman over the radio as they're first in line

"Can confirm, what about mine?"

"Yep, it's good too"

"All systems checked. ATC, this is AI, permission to take-off?"
