At night,
Port of Jin Hark, Kingdom of Lauria
Myto Empire uses probe droids to patrol the harbor area of Jin-Hark. This is due to reducing casualties that may arise if troops are used to carry out patrols. In addition, so that the troops can rest. Probe droids has a simple shield system that can only withstand a few shots from the hand blaster. However, it was enough to defend the probe droid from arrows and spears that the Kingdom of Lauria might possess. During the night, the probe droid found and stopped a number of small attacks from the Kingdom of Lauria that were meant to keep the troops of the Myto Empire from resting.

Morning at 08.00
The Kingdom of Lauria's troops had prepared themselves to put up a fight with all their might to block Myto's army. However, there was no significant movement in the port area where Myto's troops were. However in midair, several of Myto's airspeeders flew in circles in the city of Jin-Hark. Every now and then, the airspeeder swooped down and attacked the concentration of the Kingdom of Lauria troops, both with coil gun and with FFAR rockets. This caused tensions on the part of the Kindom of Lauria's troops to continue to rise even though there were no significant attacks except for several artillery attacks. The army of mages from the Kingdom of Lauria was exhausted from trying to withstand the artillery attacks against the royal palace. But all of this is actually a time-buying tactic by the Myto army so that the troops from the Kingdom of Quila and Principality of Qua Toyne can have time to reach the city of Jin-Hark.

Kingdom of Quila troops en route to Jin-Hark
The scouts from the Kingdom of Quila army discovered the movement of the Kingdom of Lauria troops moving towards them. Observations of scouts using wyverns show that the troops are equipped with muskets and most of them are mages. Therefore, there is a high enough risk for the troops of the Kingdom of Quila if they conducting a frontal battle. Therefore, the leadership of the Kingdom of Quila troops decided to carry out a large-scale air attack to destroy the army. They would deploy the F1 planes and wyverns that had been transferred to makeshift air bases within the Kingdom of Lauria's territory. The leadership of the Kingdom of Quila has also contacted Myto's troops to request air support. A plains area of the prairie was chosen as the site of the battle. Around the prairie they placed artillery in the form of cannons and mortars. There were no tall trees in the area so that it would be able to maximize air and artillery attacks. Because of concerns about the melee troops, infantry will not be used for this battle. Only troops with high mobility are used, namely armored cars and troops equipped with trucks armed with machine guns. The machine gun will be used at its maximum effective range to minimize risk.

The Royal Army troops from the Kingdom of Lauria moved towards the troops of the Kingdom of Quila with caution. There wasn't any big concentration of troops. The troops are divided into many small troop groups, and between them there is an army of mages that will be used to protect the troops from air attacks. Several wyverns seemed to be flying in circles, protecting the royal army troops.
After they had walked since dawn, they finally entered a prairie area close to where the Kingdom of Quila troops were. Suddenly, the leadership of the Royal Army received word from the wyvern troops who were above the troops that they had seen many unidentified flying objects, possibly belonging to the enemy. In order to avoid casualties from the wyverns of the Kingdom of Lauria, the wyverns were pulled back, trying to take cover and hide behind the clouds.
Those flying objects turned out to be F1 fighter planes belonging to the King of Quila. They quickly approached, and a number of aircraft began firing FFAR-1s. When the FFAR-1 rocket approached the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria, a transparent bubble appeared, preventing the FFAR-1 from striking the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria. The FFAR-1 exploded when it touched the transparent bubble. As a result, no Kingdom of Lauria troops were injured, but the transparent bubble immediately collapsed when hit by the FFAR-1 explosion. The bubble is a magic shield created by the mage squad. It seemed that the mage who made the magic shield was very exhausted and running out of mana, but in one group, there were several mages who were ready to cast the magic shield, and the mage who ran out of mana immediately drank potions to restore his state, even though he couldn't reach his peak condition.
Seeing the protection from the mage in the form of a magic shield, the F1 fighter planes changed tactics by strafing with machine guns. But the troops being shot at seemed like they could also cast magic shields individually. However, many of the magic shields used by the individuals failed to withstand the machine gun attacks. About 1/3 of the troops who were strafed by machine guns became victims due to the failure of their magic shields. However, the F1 fighter pilots realized that the number of bullets they carried was limited and it was impossible for them to strafe all the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria. As a result, they carried out a combination attack where they fired a barrage of machine guns and then fired the FFAR-1. As a result, it was quite devastating for the Kingdom of Lauria's troops. A barrage of machine guns weakened the magic shields cast by the mages, so that when FFAR-1 was fired, the magic shield was weak enough to protect troops from FFAR-1 explosions when it exploded on the magic shield. However, because the FFAR-1 explosion is not aimed directly at the troops being shot, there is a reduction in the effectiveness of the FFAR-1 explosion against the Kingdom of Lauria's troops.
Similarly, the bombs that were dropped by some of the Kingdom of Quila's F1 fighter planes experienced a decrease in effectiveness because they exploded when they hit the magic shield. However, due to its high explosive power, the casualties in the Kingdom of Lauria's army remained high. Also, because mages who cast magic shields are usually nearby, they also become victims. The reduction of the mage caused the defense of the Kingdom of Lauria's troops against air attacks to decrease rapidly.
Moments later, the wyverns from the Kingdom of Quila also arrived on the battlefield and began to attack the Kingdom of Lauria's troops. But as with F1 fighters, their attack effectiveness drops drastically.

When F1 fighter planes and wyverns from the Kingdom of Quila were busy attacking the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria, suddenly from above, an attack of the wyvern troops of the Kingdom of Lauria appeared. The wyverns that had been hiding behind the clouds swooped in and attacked the F1 fighter planes. However, the speed and agility of the F1 fighter is no match for the wyvern, so most of the fighter aircraft are able to avoid the wyverns' attacks. However, there were 3 F1 fighter planes that became victims of the wyvern kingdom of Lauria. Two of the planes exploded because they were hit by fireballs from the wyvern, and one was able to make an emergency landing not far from the battlefield, despite being burned by the wyvern's fireball.
However, after the first attack of the wyvern Kingdom of Lauria, they became pray as they were chased and annihilated by the warplanes of the Kingdom of Quila. None of the wyverns escaped the F1 fighter's attack. But when the wyvern attacked, the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria were able to reorganize so that the troops that were not protected by the mage could once again be protected by the mage and they could quickly move to the Kingdom of Quila's positions.
When they reached a distance of 4 km from the position of the Kingdom of Quila troops, the artillery from the Kingdom of Quila started firing non-stop. The intense explosions of cannon and mortar shells caused the mana of the army's protective mages to rapidly deplete. Likewise, the mana of each troop member was also depleted, so that they quickly became victims of the artillery fire. Above in the sky, the F1 fighter planes and wyverns from the Kingdom of Quila are starting to attack again after they finished eliminating the wyverns belonging to the Kingdom of Lauria.
However, due to the discipline and highly trained mentality of the Royal Army, the Royal Army troops did not scatter but remained in formation to attack the positions of the Kingdom of Quila troops. As a result, the distance between the two armies was getting closer. Finally, the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria reached a machine gun range of 1,500m, and the Kingdom of Quila's machine guns opened fire on the Kingdom of Lauria troops. More than 30% of the Kingdom of Lauria's troops had fallen victims. In addition, F1 fighter planes were forced to return to base because they ran out of ammunition.
Even though the Kingdom of Lauria's troops were strafed by machine guns, because of the magic shield, the Kingdom of Lauria's troops were able to avoid the total destruction of their troops. They quickly closed in to a distance of 500 m and began to attack using various magic spells. As a result, the Kingdom of Quila's troops were forced to fight while retreating from the battlefield. A number of Kingdom of Quila troops also fell victim to various magic spells from the Kingdom of Lauria.
Suddenly, there appeared in the sky a large number of flying objects approaching! It turned out to be an airspeeder owned by the Myto Empire. They quickly started attacking the Kingdom of Lauria's troops using cluster bombs, FFAR, and coil guns. Due to the far higher explosive power of the ammunition used by the Myto Empire compared to the ammunition used by the Kingdom of Quila, the magic shield protection of the Kingdom of Lauria mages becomes much less effective. Moreover, the higher carrying capacity of the airspeeder causes the lower amount of ammunition to be higher. All of this resulted in the Kingdom of Lauria's troops being unable to withstand repeated attacks from the Kingdom of Quila's artillery and the Myto Empire's air raids. It only took 15 minutes before the Kingdom of Lauria's army was finally destroyed.
Half an hour later, the troops from the Kingdom of Quila again moved towards the capital of the Kingdom of Lauria, Jin-Hark.

At another place,
Troops from the Principality of Qua Toyne en route to Jin-Hark
The Principality of Qua Toyne's army moved at high speed towards Jin-Hark. There were not many significant obstacles faced by the troops of the Principality of Qua Toyne. The only obstacle was an army of nearly 10,000 trying to block the forces of the Principality of Qua Toyne. But the troops were tired, lacked rest and food, and did not have good military equipment. Therefore, the morale of the troops was very low, and the troops of the Principality of Qua Toyne only needed 15 minutes of battle before the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria surrendered.

14.00
Quick elements from the forces of the Kingdom of Quila and Principality of Qua Toyne began to enter Jin-Hark's territory, and in plain sight, the stronghold of Jin-Hark appeared. Behind them followed the infantry that would arrive at Jin-Hark in the afternoon.
.
.
.
15 minutes later,
Jin-Hark's stronghold began to be attacked from 3 different directions. The troops of the Principality of Qua Toyne and the Kingdom of Quila began shelling the fort walls with artillery composed of cannons and mortars. The goal is to break down the fort and reduce the resistance of the Kingdom of Lauria troops who are above the fort. Many cannons were aimed at the gate of the fort.
On the other hand, the Myto Empire's troops started moving into Jin-Hark's stronghold through the section of the fort that had been destroyed by the shore bombardment the previous day. The movement began with the entry of probe droids that flew over the existing buildings looking for Kingdom of Lauria troops that might be hiding or concentrating on attacking. The probe droid also occasionally attacked the troops of the Kingdom of Lauria in sight. Several mages from the Kingdom of Lauria tried to fight the probe droid, but because the probe droid was equipped with a shield system, the attack often failed, and the attacking mage would fall victim to the probe droid's return attack. However, there were some instances where the attack was successful, as the attacking mage was of a high rank and therefore had high attack ability. But again, every probe droid that detects that he is about to lose will blow himself up, and many of the high-ranked mages will also fall victim to the probe droid's suicide explosion.
The probe droid attack was followed by an attack by infantry troops from the Myto Empire, supported by air attacks by airspeeders. However, because the battle that took place inside a city, the fighting degraded into an urban war, the pace of Myto's troops was not that fast. Several times, the Kingdom of Lauria's troops were able to counterattack by hiding in existing buildings or ruins. Because the Myto Empire troops used stormtrooper armor equipped with composite armor, the attacks in the form of attacks using arrows and swords almost did not cause significant casualties. Several of Myto's troops were injured but were quickly evacuated from the battlefield and received treatment. Due to the relatively narrow streets, the tanks from the Myto Empire are only useful for securing the main roads.

After half an hour, the Principality of Qua Toyne troops were able to break into Jin-Hark's stronghold, and the armored car troops began to enter Jin-Hark city, followed by infantry troops in trucks modified by adding armor and machine guns. However, after successfully taking control of the defensive posts in Jin-Hark's fortress, the Principality of Qua Toyne's troops began to slow down due they need to fight a city war.
Ten minutes after the Principality of Qua Toyne troops managed to enter the city of Jin-Hark, the troops of the Kindom of Quila also managed to break through Jin-Hark's stronghold and enter the city. As happened to the forces of the Principality of Qua Toyne, after they managed to secure the fort itself and several outposts around the fort, they faced a city war that was quite difficult to carry out quickly. There began to be casualties in both the Principality of Qua Toyne and the Kindom of Quila troops.
Slowly but sure, the forces of the Principality of Qua Toyne, Kingdom of Quila, and Myto Empire are moving towards Castle Hark......

Meanwhile, at Jin-Hark Military Bunker
General Patajin continuously monitors the progress of the battle. Although it was clearly seen that it was impossible to win the battle in Jin-Hark, the movement of the enemy troops was quite slow due to having to deal with urban warfare. General Patajin saw that there was still time after nightfall to evacuate the entire military staff and royal family out of Jin-Hark and would soon sail using the ships that had been prepared in advance. There were a few hundred remaining ships that had started to gather around the old capital of Qin-Hark. General Patajin began ordering all the troops outside of Jin-Hark to move to the old capital of Qin-Hark and form a defensive line there. There were only a little more than 3,000 Royal Army troops left, and they were ordered to return to Qin-Hark. It was estimated that there were still around 20,000 troops that could be mobilized to assemble at Qin-Hark. General Patajin also selected several cities in the southernmost part of the Kingdom of Lauria as cities that could be used as an escape route if the city of Qin-Hark fell into enemy hands. He ordered the troops who could not gather in Qin-Hark to gather in those cities.
In general, General Patajin wanted the war to be postponed for as long as possible so that the enemy would lose the will to fight and the Kingdom of Lauria be able to apply for peace on more favorable terms than if the Kingdom of Lauria was decisively defeated. The war can be prolonged by moving the center of government to cities around the Kingdom of Lauria, which has a fairly strong defense. It would be better if the royal family could flee to Palpadia so that they would not be touched by the enemy.
General Patajin prepared to leave for the palace to again persuade King Hark to flee to either Palpadia or flee to the old capital of Qin Hark. It is hoped that by night the evacuation will be carried out, and the palaces and buildings may be emptied of all that is precious and important. In the morning, it is hoped that the troops at Jin-Hark can begin to withdraw to Qin-Hark.
