War Erupts

Royal Assembly of Nova.. Empire City, Nova.

12 PM 1/2/2015.

"So gentlemen and women, are we decided?"

"We have your highness."

"Your decision?"

"The Assembly of the United Royal Empire of Nova has decided if Terridisia is not to give up their unpaid labor force before the 20th of January, 2015; we will free them with military force."

That was all it took. All that was needed.

Out side thousands of men and women were cheering outside.Civilian and military alike. Ready to shout the battle cry of freedom. Alex was numb. He did not know if Terridisia was going to comply or not. He looked at his nation's blue banner with the sun and moon entitled within. The Russian allies present bowled "hoorah!" over and over again, The Emperor of the Rineland, King Drako, Chairman Gryphan, and Prime Minister Zwanhaland all looking with pride in their chest. They knew that they all were doing something good, something right.

9 PM, Nova - Terridisia Border.

Tanks, troops, and artillery move into their newly ordered from Allied Command. The message has been sent. Nova waits for an answer. The answer will be in battle in four days.

The Siege of Travania Part 1.5

By 12:23 in the afternoon, the Lincoln Tower collapsed  Estimated 8,200 deaths. By 8 PM the primary invasion force arrives at the outsides of the city. Police and militia forces have been crushed by the army of Terra. At midnight, the Novian flag is lowered over City Hall. The city is under enemy control for two days.

"I'll send the first and third platoon around to flank, second will go right down the middle"... Field Colonial Robinson said to hi fellow officers. "Liberation starts now!"...

The mobilization of over 300,000 allied troops prepare to raid the city. 79 allied naval ships arm up to engage the Terri fleet. 12,000 aircraft get ready to do what they do best, and for the first time in history the Wonderbolts are deployed in actual comb at. "Move you ass grunts! We've got some Terries to kill!" Waves apon waves of masses of sentient life, armed to the teeth rush down to take back what was their's. "This is allied command on the line, all current units, retake the city".

Boots across the roads and distant gunfire was all that could be heard in downtown Travania. Sargent Major Raymond, a light brown enquine stood toward the rest of his 200 man troop. He has orders to take down an enemy artillery placement. Medical units were already taking care of a mix of civilians. Ponies, gryphens, humans, dragons, a united group. "Hold", Raymond barks. "We've got company. Get down." The cluster of life tries to hide in the shadows. Raymond signals Corpral Klygensky to take him. Sneaking was easy for the slavic man. At the age of 18 this was his first day of combat. He unsheathed his Novian standard issued M-45 combat knife, put his hand on the mouth Terri, and plunged his knife into the thought of the enemy. The kill was silent. Little blood, the Corpral, not shaken a bit. That was war, his job. Death is the only way to get fired or quit. The snipers of the troop moved up to scout. they found it. 14 Terri artillery placements. at least 50 people operating the guns. But there were at least 250 guarding the position. The rest of the troop moved up to the hill the snipers were on. Raymond quietly ordered, "Fix bayonets." All 200 quietly unfolding the blades and placing them on the barrels of their 10 round holding M1 Garand. They waited 40 minuets. "Charge you grand boys you! Charge!"  HOORAH! is all that bellowed from the mixed troop. Gun blazing they did exactly what the commander ordered them to do. Stabbing of the blades into their enemy's body. Their weapons firing and the 'PING' of their clips being ejected from their rifles. Within 4 minuets. The Allied troops have obliterated the enemy placement.

The Siege of Travania Part 1

Linclon Tower. Travania, Nova.

8:45 AM 1/6/2015.

It was a nice, normal day for thousands of people flocking through the City of Travania. Every person doing their normal routines, tourists exploring the active city, military guards marching through the streets. Music everywhere. Nice environment in general. Two miles away a Terridisian cargoship offshore of the city lays in wait. "Sinker, Sinker, this is command. In position?", from mainland Terradsia. "Copy, we are in position", responded the ship. Command states "Fire when ready, Sinker". "Rodger". No less than 46 seconds after the transmission was terminated, a cruse AC13-7 Terri (nicname for Terridisian) missile was launched from the cargoship  "TCS Sinker" into the heart of one of the most populated cities on Equis and Earth. For the people inside the Lincoln Tower, catastrophe was about to strike. When the missile hits, instantly kills 89 people. News coverage from all over the worlds come to tell of the attacks. The film of the missile hitting the building was captured by a local news helicopter. The attack has only begun...
