(This is a major difference is the Eurasian aren't completely pacifist and wouldn't hesitate to invade the Rowlian kingdom)

Principality of Kua Toine, western region, 20 kilometers from the border, Town of Gim

Central Calendar year 1639, April 11th, afternoon

Western knight order, 1st and 2nd dragon squadrons

The captain of the western knight order, Moiji, felt uneasy.

The western forces consisted of 2,300 infantry, 200 archers, 500 heavy infantry, 200 cavalry, 100 light cavalry, 24 dragons,30 mages, 200 rifle infantry,15 biplanes.
While the Eurasian had sent 800 light infantry,30 behemoth tanks,40 mammoth tanks,50 armoured transport vehicles and 36 artillery as reinforcement.

Kua Toine had many combat-ready soldiers since they were in a semi-state of emergency, but the enemy forces that they could see all along the border surpassed them. What's more, all of their communications continued to be pointedly ignored by Rowlia.
And the low number of Eurasian forces wasn't helping but the behemoth and mammoth tanks greatly boosted morale due to their massive size and cannons.
Some of the citizens had already started evacuating from Gim, at the government's urging.

"Still nothing from Rowlia, huh?" Moiji asked a communications mage.

"Our messages should be reaching them just fine, but we still haven't received any response back. I can only conclude that they're ignoring our communications."

With a small difference in numbers, a solid strategy could be used to avoid a route. However, with these conditions, it was going to be a slaughter. What should be done...?

"Even with the behemoth tanks and mammoth tanks could get destroyed by the enemy wyverns as cannons are really inaccurate and we might still lose this battle."

"What did HQ say about our request for reinforcements?"

"We've repeatedly tried contacting HQ, but the only answer we get is 'we are currently in an emergency conference,' they won't tell us anything more specific."

"Fuck! This isn't a picnic! If we have to fight with only the soldiers we have here, with little amount of reinforcements, Gim is already lost! Damn it all...!!!"

With various thoughts swirling in their minds, time passed clouded in uncertainty.

Central Calendar year 1639, April 12th, early morning

20 kilometers from the border, Town of Gim

All of a sudden, red smoke began to rise up at the national border west of Gim. At the same time, a panicked message came in via communication magic.

"A huge number of Rowlian wyverns have invaded Gim! And... thousands of soldiers are pouring in over the border! The invasion has begun! I repeat...!!! Run for your lives—!! Gahh...! ..."

The call ended. Captain Moiji, after seeing the red beacon signifying Rowlia's invasion of Kua Toine, roared out orders.

"1st and 2nd dragon squadrons lift off, engage the enemy wyverns! Light cavalry, scramble to the right flank and disrupt them! 200 cavalry, prepare to raid, standby for orders! Infantry, form ranks with heavies in front! Archers, set yourselves up in the back lines and offer support at maximum range! Mages, if you don't join the offensive, just keep the winds favorable to our position."
"The new rifle regiment shall prepare fortifications and work together with the Eurasian reinforcement while our 1st biplane regiment go support our wyverns forces."

The dragon squadrons took off, twenty-four fully-geared wyverns rising up into the sky. They split into two squadrons, with one staying near the ground while the other ascended to maximum altitude while the new biplane squadron would be supporting the wyverns with their machine guns.
