Part 4: There's No Time To Mourn

Top officials and members of the royal family were just returning to the meeting after having breakfast, now being aware of the attack on Portsford. They began to take their seats, wordlessly viewing the live feed transmitted to them from the battlefield. On the screen, a noticeably large bright spot began to cover the sky.

Over the course of less than a second, the spot quickly expanded, the city right under it exploded violently, and a crater as well as a load of smoke was all that was left. Joy began to fill all of the viewers' faces, seeing the enemy's capital completely deleted. Audible chatter came from the screen, likely from the soldiers who were present when the city went up.

Shockwaves from the explosion rippled away from the city and destroyed surrounding oil rig clusters, though running out of juice so to speak before reaching New World Union forces. The emperor then spoke over the footage. "Well, what're we naming this part of the lake?" he said, quite jokingly.

"Lake Portsford," came the response. "How creative-" he said sarcastically. "OK, YOU get a Porsche!" He pointed at the person who suggested the name. "And YOU get a Porsche!" The emperor kept pointing. "AND YOU GET A PORSCHE! EVERYBODY GETS A PORSCHE-"

"To be completely and utterly honest, it's a boring ass name. Although, it should suffice for now." the emperor nodded. "Alright, now can I get a quick sitrep?" "Of course, sir." Rio stood and replied. "The 1st through 6th Divisions are advancing northward from Batvardnya, setting up several FOBs there, while the 7th through 15th pass across the other end of the Carbomagne lake, heading north and northwest. The 16th through the 25th are pushing south from our initial landing zone in the east, securing the densely-populated southern peninsula,-

-and the 26th through 30th are deploying and pushing south of uhh-." She stuttered, trying to hold laughter at something. "Lake Portsford." She regained composure. "We have had increased sightings of Lecelnan troops near the border, particularly the northern Balingian border. We have also had numerous sightings of their MBTs; including T-72-183Ks. We have also gathered many thaumaturgic devices. They're being sent to RnD now, and that should conclude the report." "Alright, thanks Rio." the emperor said. 

Rio went to sit down, before she got an emergency red notification on her HUD. It read "ENEMIES NEARING ALLIED FORCE CONCE(NTRATION), IM(MEDIATE)-ACT(ION) RECOMM(ENDED)." Without a word, she extended the notification to everyone else's HUD. The emperor immediately turned to Rio, giving an order. "Weapons free."

"Vengeance Fleet"

Northern International Waters, Sea Monster Territory

The last remainders of the Balingian Navy, somehow surviving the initial New World Union onslaught, sail towards Condetena through international waters, the sailors thanking their gods, along with them blissfully unaware of the New World Union's eyes in the sky vectored in on them--and the guns in Condetena. Some ships however, due to the rushed nature of their deployment, are mechanically unfit and forced to return to shore.
