Night Hounds
"This is Delta Battalion, We're just Passing through to Marahorn now, What do you see Overseer?"
The Roads Up and Down the Hill are clear as IFV's and Tanks Drive into Marahorn, unaware of anything occurring, the Skies clear enough for a modified Saviour Watching over the Battalion, testing its equipment.
"We See nothing in the Skies Delta, although we're getting Civilian Reports from the Town of Lights in the Distance, do you see anything Delta?"
"Negative Overseer, just the lights of the Town. May just be LHA recon troops, as I dont see anything."
"Copy Delta, Continue forward, the Town will feel safe knowing that We're there to help."
The IFV's continued on as they were Unaware of LHA soldiers lying in wait, the engines of the Recently stolen vehicles turned off, waiting for the time to strike. a few Minutes go by before one of them shouts "FOR THE LORD!!!" Before Missiles fly through the air, hitting and Destroying several IFVs, as well as Firing at the Front and Rear, Though the Grenadier MK II's positioned there were able to Counter the missiles with Hard Kill systems, preventing a total Box in.
"Taking Fire from Infantry with Anti tank weapons, Overseer Please Advise!"
"Copy Delta, stand your... Delta im getting reports of the Town being attacked, Push forwards and Make it to the town, before fort-"
Warning systems can be heard beeping as Missile flooded the Sky. Despite Packing flare, the Sheer Number of Air to Air Missiles cause the Saviour to Explode in a Bright Orange. The Battalion would follow the Last orders as They Pushed forwards, Firing their Autocannons and Machine guns at the Ground troops, firing their ETC guns at Stolen Grenadier tanks all the way till they made it into the town, though the casualties were severe...
And thats just the start of the Siege of Marahorn.
The Siege of Marahorn.
Smells like sh*t. That would be the first words to describe the Sewer systems Where The Civilians of Marahorn now call home, better down here then It was up there to the Mind of Alfred Williams, Walking down the Sewers with his hands in his pockets, doing his best to take his mind off the smell. He Walks down the tunnel before Arriving to show Sandbags and Fortifcations being Prepare, with a Cardonian Gunner preparing a Machine gun. They take a glance at him before Silently Pointing towards an Open Orange door, which Alfred Quietly walks towards. Rumbling then Shook the Earth.
"Thats the Artillery again... How the fu*k did they gain access to Artillery?" One of the Soldiers replied.
"How did they Get tanks? Shut up and help me out with this HMG..."
Alfred would walk through the door, before Sliding down a Ladder, bringing him to a new Level of the Underground, A Large Bunker that is Open for now, To the Side however He would see 2 Humans Kicking down an Alcatus, who was Whimpering in fear and pain.
"Oi mates! What the Hell do you think you're doing?" Alfred Shouted, in which the Two quickly Stopped, looking at Alfred with Disgust.
"We're Beating up This Freak, They are the reason Our Homes are being Bombed"
"Oh? And you think beating this Man up Will stop that do ya?" Alfred Replied with growing anger.
"How about you dont get involved in our Business, got it?" The Other Man replied, Cracking his Knuckles at Alfred, who Subtly Moved part of his Jacket away, revealing a Handgun, in which the two Turned White.
"Or what? What are you going to do about huh?" Alfred replied, slowly moving his hand towards the gun.
"Pfft, whatever, Lets go, I think the freak learned its lesson..." The 1st man replied as the two walked into the Bunker. Alfred removed his hand away from the Gun and Crouched towards the Bruised Alcatus, who now looked at Alfred. "Th-Thank you sir..."
"Dont mention it, What's your name mate?"
"T-Tom..."
Alfred nodded and stood up, Extending his hand in which tom took as Alfred Lifted him up. "Well tom, lets take You to the Infirmary and get you taken care of..." As he Lifted Tom's arm over his shoulder, walking him into the Bunker.
The Northern Advance
The Nationalists Pushed Forwards, through fields and Woods, hunting for civilian and enemy soldier alike. Whilst Enemy Soldiers were uncommon, the Nationalists Stopped in every village, conducting raids on houses to search for Non cardonians. Those they found, were taken out to the fields, where they would dig their own graves, before Being Tied up and Thrown into said graves, dying after being Buried alive. The Strongest Nationalist Force looked towards Northern Jamia and its Provincial Capital of Harathorn, as well as Hearing Reports of Kurikian and Cardonian Soldiers. As a result the Nationalists Sent in Fighters in the Dead of Night, Their Goal was to Bomb the Armies quickly, as to weaken their Numbers for the Land battle. The Majority of these Fighters were Vulcans, along with Morta Drones. Each Morta Drone also carried 1 Morrigan Missile, equipped with Cluster Munitions as well as the Main payload to Bring Devastation towards the Ground.

Calls For Diplomacy
Despite the Rise of the Communist Rebellion through armed means, the Parliament, being Headed mostly by left Leaning Individuals from the Cardonian Labour party, were Sympathetic to the Rebellion and its reasons of Uprising. That and the fact that the Communists were Unorganized and with few If any Military Equipment to speak off, Julian Bracknal himself wishes for the Leader of the Rebellion, Samantha Coly, to Lay Down the Rebellion's arms and to Negotiate a Peaceful solution. Samantha Agreed to Go negotiate, although Would only call for a Ceasefire. the Government would Yield and accept the Request
At the Same time, the Federation would also Ask to negotiate With Cardonia, stating that It does not wish to invade or change the Nation, only that it wishes to be left to its own devices and government due to the Neglect the Islands faced, However it also stated that to defend its independence, it will fire upon any Armed Ship that entered its National Waters. The Cardonians would agree and Also declare a Ceasefire with the Nation, though was close to not passing due to Disagreement by the Cardonian Conservatives, who Stated that the islands are rightful Cardonian clay, particularly by one MP named Mergreat Thwasher. Likewise, the Crossbone Faction, the Most navally Experienced merc faction, stated that this Ceasefire will give the Cardonians time to organise and Prepare, which some members took as a call to action...
