At the same time as the war in the Gim
Kingdom of Quila
The border between the Kingdom of Quila and the Kingdom of Lauria
Command Tent
General Ahi is a general from the Kingdom of Quila who is assigned to handle the 'Lightning Rod' operation. Right now, he had just received a communication from General Nho saying that the 'Lightning Rod' operation had begun. Once again, General Ahi looked at the order of battle of the Kingdom of Quila troops.
The Kingdom of Quila's army that joined the battle was 30,000 men. 10,000 of them are fast-moving troops with armored cars and trucks to carry troops. The rest were ordinary infantry using whatever transportation they could use, including bicycles and horse-drawn wagons. Of the 20,000 infantry troops, 5,000 were behind the fast-moving troops and acted as support for the fast-moving troops. In addition, the fast-moving troops were supported by 60 wyverns divided into 3 sorties, with 20 wyverns per sortie. The division was meant to keep the wyverns in the air and support the fast-moving troops throughout the day. In addition, there are 3 squadrons of F1 fighter aircraft with 12 aircraft per squadron. The planes also take turns in the air to keep up with the fast-moving troops. Each squadron is divided into 3 groups. Two groups are armed with air attack weapons, namely FFAR rockets, and one group is armed with bombs for ground attacks. In addition, there are 20 wyverns and 2 squadrons of fighter aircraft that can support infantry troops. In addition, there are also 10,000 reservists, 20 wyverns, and 24 fighter planes, which also act as a state guard. In this operation 'Lightning Rod', all the wyverns owned by the Kingdom of Quila were used, and the airspace of the Kingdom of Quila was defended by the remaining 16 aircraft.

11.00 o'clock
The entire army of the Kingdom of Quila moved into the territory of the Kingdom of Lauria when they heard that the battle in the Gim had begun. By 12.00, all elements were at the border, and the fast-moving troops began to attack the encampment of the Kingdom of Lauria troops assigned to harrassing the Kingdom of Quila. The attack was supported by 20 wyverns, which caused the Quila army camp to fall apart.
The attack starts with an armored car. The unprepared troops of the Kingdom of Lauria must face an armored car that cannot be penetrated by arrows or swords. The machine guns in the armored car barely stopped strafing the Kingdom of Lauria's troops. Behind him, the troop-carrying trucks moved as the troops inside fired at the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria. The trucks have been modified to use steel plates to protect critical parts from arrows. The mortar squad that had been deployed outside the encampment was incessantly firing mortars at the left and right of the Kingdom of Quila's army. The armored car troops didn't widen their attack, only attacking in a straight line, cleaving the Kingdom of Lauria's army.
In addition to attacks on the ground, attacks are carried out from the air using wyverns. The wyvern attacked using the fireballs and bombs the wyvern rider carried. At higher altitudes, F1 fighter planes circle around, protecting the wyvern's attack from enemy wyverns. 4 planes carrying bombs were looking for the best opportunity by looking for the highest concentration of opposing troops to bomb.
As a result of the attack, 15,000 troops out of nearly 50,000 troops were successfully neutralized, and the rest evaded to the left and right of the Kingdom of Quila troops' attacks. This caused the rest of the Kingdom of Lauria's troops to split into 2. The army of the Kingdom of Lauria was split in half, and the troops were very scared because it was an unusual battle.
The Kingdom of Quila's rapid army continued to advance through the encampment area and began attacking from behind. Meanwhile, the infantry behind him began to attack the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria and carried out an encirclement. As a result, the two parts of the Kingdom of Lauria were attacked from all sides, and after suffering the loss of nearly 10,000 troops, they surrendered to the forces of the Kingdom of Quila. While the troops fought on the ground, assisted by the wyverns, the Kingdom of Quila's F1 warplanes were busy neutralizing the Kingdom of Lauria's wyvern forces. There were nearly 50 wyverns faced by the F1 fighter squadron. Unfortunately, the wyverns didn't come together, but in waves. As a result, they could not outperform the F1 plane and were destroyed. Only two wyverns escaped and ran away.
With the defeat of the main army of the Kingdom of Lauria, the Kingdom of Quila's troops were able to move quickly into the interior of the Kingdom of Lauria before turning towards Jin-Hark. Within a few hours, town after town and village after village could be conquered. Some cities have city walls and forts, it takes about 1 hour each city. The forts were destroyed by 40mm and 105mm cannons, and the interior of the fort was razed by mortars brought in by the troops of the Kingdom of Quila. The cannons were mostly used to destroy the doors of the forts so that troops in armored cars could get into the city and take over. A city that had been destroyed by mortars was easily captured. Troops above the fort will be attacked with 40mm cannons and machine guns.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Quila's troops were quite surprised to see the condition of the people of the Kingdom of Lauria. They are so poor and short of food. This, after being investigated, was caused by very high taxes, almost 80%. The tax was used to build the Kingdom of Lauria's armed forces used in this war. Even the local aristocrats who were caught in several cities also looked poor, although of course they were much richer than ordinary people.
A number of troops returned to the Kingdom of Quila with POWs to be held in several cities on the border. The troops were replaced by reservists from the rear. In this way, the strength of the troops from the kingdom of Quila is maintained even though they have to deal with POWs and there are some who become victims of war. The total casualties on the Kingdom of Quila's side were only 16 dead and 63 injured.
In the afternoon, the fast-moving troops from the Kingdom of Quila had entered more than 100km into the territory of the Kingdom of Lauria and began to veer towards the capital of Jin-Hark. The infantry troops, on the other hand, were already 60 km inside the Kingdom of Lauria. When night fell, they also rested, preparing to continue the war the next day.

In the evening
Capital of the Kingdom of Lauria, Jin-Hark
Military Headquarters
General Patajin held a meeting to discuss the progress of the war against the Kingdom of Quila and the Principality of Qua Toyne. He had received countless gruesome reports of battles. It is known that General Pandour has failed to capture the city of Gim, and that his army has been destroyed. There are also reports that troops from Ejey have started moving towards the border. On the other hand, it was even more surprising that there were reports that the Kingdom of Quila attacked the Kingdom of Lauria and defeated the troops stationed at the border. Almost all the military assets that confronted the Kingdom of Quila had been destroyed. And until the afternoon, a lot of cities were controlled by the Kingdom of Quila. More worrying was that, from the spies, it was discovered that the ships from the Myto Empire were already in Meihark, which meant that the Myto Empire was providing assistance to the Principality of Qua Toyne. It is not known how much assistance that will be.
Since the capital of the Kingdom of Lauria, Jin-Hark, was near the border between the Principality of Qua Toyne and the Kingdom of Lauria, General Patajin did not dare to move troops from the main army to be able to counterattack the Kingdom of Quila. General Patajin could only order 50,000 troops from the main army plus 10,000 from the reserve troops and 20,000 from the local troops to immediately gather and withstand attacks from the Kingdom of Quila. It was hoped that the troops would be able to hinder the movement of the Kingdom of Quila's troops, although victory was almost impossible. General Patajin hoped that the troops deployed could weaken and give the main force time to destroy the forces of the Principality of Qua Toyne. After the Principality of Qua Toyne troops are defeated, the main forces will intercept the Kingdom of Quila troops from reaching Jin-Hark. The troops were told to fight while slowly retreating and to avoid a full battle that could kill them all.
To delay the main battle. General Patajin ordered 75,000 troops to move at this time of night closer to the border. It was hoped that tomorrow the troops would be able to hinder the advance of the Principality of Qua Toyne's troops if they entered the border. The time given by the troops will be used by the main army to move together and later be able to defeat the forces of the Principality of Qua Toyne through the superiority of numbers.
In addition, all local troops, or city guards, and private armies of the aristocrats that could be deployed, were ordered to gather behind the main army and act as reservists who could assist both the main force and the troops facing the Kingdom of Quila. An estimated 60,000 troops can be deployed. Together with the remaining 40,000 reservists, there were 100,000 reservists who were expected to guard the city of Jin-Hark.
All that could be done had been done, and General Patajin hoped for no more surprises. General Patajin still hoped for victory from the naval forces that had been deployed against the Principality of Qua Toyne and the Kingdom of Quila. General Patajin hoped that with this victory, the forces of the Principality of Qua Toyne and the Kingdom of Quila would no longer be able to work together and gain momentum. He also hoped that the remaining troops of the Kingdom of Lauria would be able to launch a counterattack.
