Both me and Sara stood up right after the agreement, the General surprised us with his sudden entrance. He paused to regain his breath and quickly began to speak.

General: Mistress the-the... These...

Sara: Please Grave, say it. Don't babble nonsense.

Grave as I now knew. Cleared his throat and tried to present himself more formally.

Grave: The Union of United Tanis has... declared war on us!

Sara tilted her blonde, decorated head.

Sara: How so? General.

Grave: Um, their Navy has been seen leaving the harbour from our spy planes. Stationed at the island of Najimbo. They've landed at least 3 divisions North of us on the Chessten Coast.

Sara: Right, that's not good...

That's when she looked at me.

Sara: You'll need to reorganize your armies.

I knew this much, but there still stood many problems for us.

Me: Yes, though most of your divisions are stationed over the Feldwig.

Sara: I actually still have some reserves left. They can be put to good use.

Me: Are there any allied countries we can call upon?

Sara: Yes actually, the Fernandians. of the Kingdom of Fernand.

Sara piped up, I stammered.

Me: Excuse me? The what!? Well they must be extremely great allies if they have such a title.

I said sarcastically, regarding their country name. Sara then lost her smile and shook her head.

Sara: Um, check those words, Y/N. Their leadership is... how should I say this? Not good.

Me: Oh, so they have the Italy Syndrome...

She nodded slowly.

I slumped down in my chair, as if this war between Vaspia and the State wasn't enough. Though I felt a soft hand pat my shoulder. Sara stood infront of me nodding slowly.

Sara: We'll get through this, your nation and mine will survive together.

Me: I won't actually do much if your nation puppeteers mine. We'll basically just be a Tri-Entente Alliance between the State, Vaspia and Fernand.

Sara: Fine then L/N. How about another little deal?

Even though she had exploited me and my nation only a few minutes earlier. I felt a bit adamant on this suggestion.

Me: Fine then, Ms. Manning. What are you willing to offer?

She grinned.

Sara: You and your Statesman Army prove themselves alongside us. Then I might let your nation free and you alone will run it without any influence from us.

I raised my brow, thinking about the deal itself really made me feel a bit better.

Me: Alright then, I'll accept.

I said, shaking hands with Sara's gloved palm. She sighed whilst still smiling.

Sara: Alright then Y/N, we have a country to defeat...

United Union of Tanis
Gen. Hannenberg
National Office of Defence

Hannenberg: ...even though both The State and Vaspia are weakened. We still have to tread carefully over their territory, The State has the Feldwig River and Vaspia has that Granten Forest of theirs in the Northwestern sectors.

He pointed to specific locations on the battle map to the President. He stopped when the old ruler of Tanis stuck up his hand. Stopping Hannenberg from speaking any further.

President: So what you're saying is that both these nations are weak... yet we need to stand on guard and waste all our money on defensive lines to protect the beachhead?

Arwin Rammel: Yes sir, me and Hannenberg came to a decisive conclusion for t-

President: I won't have this gentlemen! The people want progress! TANIS IS ABOUT PROGRESS!

Hannenberg: I know that sir! We just can't afford to underestimate the enemy!

President: I am President of the Union of United Tanis. I will not have any retorts about being careful while we're dealing two nations that have destroyed each other for the last two years! Have sense men!

The man yelled, walking out of the war room. Hobbling on his cane while grumbling to himself. Six guards flanking his sides at all times.

Rammel: Should we disobey and have Army Group X advance into the Northern Regions?

Hannenberg: That's a risky move, considering the old geezer has had our officers purged out of fucking nothing but his own arrogance of power.

The younger General inspected the map as Hannenberg considers having Army Group X advance.

A/N: The board is set, all is boiling to a rim. Nations will fall or prevail... Rulers will perish... The Union of United Tanis versus. The State, Republic of Vaspia and Kingdom of Fernand. Whom will emerge victorious in this hassle of power?
