EMPIRE OF SCOLUS
HALL OF WAR

The whole Empire is in disarray. News of the defeat of their Overseas Army and their Grand Fleet have reach the higher echelons. The great Generals and the very few Admirals left, were summoned immediately by the Emperor.

"WE'VE LOST 800 SHIPS?! LOST THE WHOLE OVERSEAS ARMY?! WHAT IS THUS BLASPHEMY?!" shouted the angered Prime Minister. Every official can't raise their heads. The Emperor is sitting quietly on his gold throne.

"We..we have not yet lost the overseas army. Lt. Col. Hender have gathered all the remaining Imperial forces on the Kingdom of Giniana, they are fortified on the Capital." nervously said by one of the Generals.

"DO WHAT?! AN HEROIC DEFIANT LAST STAND? GENERAK SCRANDE HAVE FAILED US EVEN ON HIS DEATH! HE WASTED THE GRAND ARMY THE GREATNESS HAVE ENTRUSTED HIM!" ranted the Prime Minister.

"What is Dylasla doing?! Wht are they holding short across the border?! They are divulging their stomachs with fine wine of the Scharens! What is the purpose of our alliance then?!" a General then insisted.

"BECAUSE AZALEA WOULD GET INVOLVED YOU DUMBNUT! THEIR PEACE TREATY HINDERS THEM TO ATTACK ANY COUNTRY ACKNOWLEDGED BY AZALEA! AND THOSE AZALEANS HAVE SENT A MASSIVE TRADING FLEET TO THOSE CARDONIAN BASTARDS!" cried the Prime Minister, his blood pressure is sirely shooting up.

"Besides, the Kingdom of Scharen would not deploy their troops. Knowing the Imperial forces were destroyed that easily. We can't entrust reinforcements to some 3rd rate protectorate country." added by one of the Generals.

"If not for the dumb navy here, we could have reinforced the Ginianian territory." confidently said by a General.

"We we're just following the commands of the Our Greatness! It is just that the enemy defenses were tough! If the Home Fleet have joined the attack, surely we could have landed on Cardonian soil!" the current Admiral of the Home Fleet argued.

"Then what?! Let the precious Home Fleet suffer the same fate?! An addition of another 300 ships at the bottom of the ocean?" sarcastically asked by one of the Generals.

The argument between the two service branches rages on. The Supreme Commander is sitting quietly in the right side of the Emperor, he was the one responsible for this, cold sweat trickles upon his grand black and red uniform.

It was only hours ago when the remaining ships of the Grand Fleet docked on the massive Imperial Naval Base. The sailors are currently detained, awaiting the decision of the Emperor.

...

KINGDOM OF DYLASLA
MINISTRY OF WAR
COMBINED ARMED FORCES

The Dylaslans were monitoring the whole Cardonian campaign. Tensions between Dylasla and Azalea are heating up. The Azaleans have denounced the attack on the Cardonian Frigate. In hope of de-escalating the war between Cardonia and Dylasla, they have sent a massive fleet with a Princess onboard.

"The Cardonians, with the Archesian and Ginians are marching towards the Capital, they would reach the city by tomorrow. The remaining Imperials are holed up on the Capital, their fleet were "massacred" it seems." a Minister stated as he reads a report.

Prince Jarel Dlario were listening carefully, he is basically the one that started this clusterfuck of events.

"The Cardonians are spotted near the border of Scharen. Our expeditionary force are ready to defend our protectorate Kingdom. There are reports that a training squad have engaged with Cardonians on one of the Ginian towns, they were too late to retreat, as such they were killed by the advancing Cardonians." the Minister continued.
