KINGDOM OF CARDONIA
7 DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK

The whole Kingdom is still in full lockdown. Police cruisers and policed versions of APC's like the Pegasus and Leland Bearcat's patrol every streets and avenues in a rotational basis for the last few days.

But the patrolling armored vehicles despite the good-intentions, are making things worse for the citizens watching behind their windows, who have been clueless ever since the attack. There were no clear message from the acting government, for all they know, the Capital is in ruins and this country might be heading for the same fate, and this martial law like lockdown is further fueling their doubts.

National television is constantly maintained and censored by the government, only airing announcements about curfew and other relief provisions but no answer to what is really happening, censoring the media is a no go for a country who values freedom. However the parliament decided to keep it's mouth shut until there is a clear direction. A good intention to keep the civilians at ease, however it is not the case in the real world.

For the clueless civilians, their only source of information are through the unfiltered internet.

Various witnesses disseminated information about a large flying formation of fighter aircrafts, armed to the teeth heading West. This has sparked numerous conspiracies.

As such the whole Kingdom is in a constant unrest from the worry some minds of it's citizens.

But some time in the early hours after a week after the attack. While everyone is enjoying their cup of coffee and or tea with their families.

*bzzzztttt*

*kriinggg*

Simultaneously, all cellular phones connected to the national network began to ring.

An alert is being displayed to all cellular phones.

*NATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT. A BROADCAST WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, PLEASE TUNE IN INTO CHANNEL 1.*

The message is very intriguing, as it is only consisting a few words, it sends everyone immediately in front of their tv screens.

Within minutes, all of the Kingdom has their eyes set for the incoming broadcast.

Upon setting their channels to number 1, this station number is reserved for the National TV broadcast and of course used in times of emergency. The emblem of the Royal Family is proudly presented behind a Cardonian flag. A surreal sight to behold for the uneasy population.

Prince Kharles then appeared in front of their tv screens, or rather the New King. He is wearing a small gold crown, a statement of his ascension to the throne.

"Good morning my fellow Cardonians. I am extremely humbled how our people has been cooperating and resilient in these trying times. I applaud our people's resiliency for the past few months and more importantly this last few weeks."

"It is common knowledge that a week ago, the Capital was attacked by magical entity that is believed to have originated from our enemies to the North West. The Empire of Scolus in which we have traded blows ever since our arrival. This Empire run by bastard's have resorted to the unjustly attack that has resulted to the death of my late Grandfather, the King. And 700 or more Palace staff and Members of the Royal Guards. And another thousand and increasing as of the moment as clearing operations are in full steam since two days ago."

"It is really a unconceivable act for countries valuing humanity. And we all now know that the Imperials are nothing but savages and as such worthy to be treated as one!"

"I the newly enshrined King, Kharles Cylvania, is personally apologizing to my people for keeping them in the dark for so long. Not only that I was severely shaken on the events that have transpired, this is vital for my first order as the new King of this great Kingdom."
