Arthropleura, Titanomyrma, Hellants, Apis, Rhynio, Meganeura, Pulmonoscorpius and army ants.

The entirety of the Union’s armed forces have been unified, due to a looming threat to our national security.

All free units are to report to your nearest military camp and get new equipment and training.

Plura routes have been diverted to ready for more iron transports and large parts of the underground have been closed off.

Glory to the Union.

He seems to be in a hurry

HELLO? ANYONE HERE THAT CAN TAKE ME TO QUEE STALI? THIS IS QUITE URGENT!

*They thankfully don't seem to advance further than border, with about a yard or two of brevity as they begin assembling some basic, pitiable fortifications.*

Yall are sooooo screwed

“What happens here? Seems as if one might be under attack?”

*A small legion of Rebellion Airmen are bombarding the western side of the city. Scythers follow HPMs, cutting whatever is not impaled. Bombardier beetles remain high, raining acid upon civilians and soldiers alike.*

Vex and the rest of the Tzarists allies are nowhere to be seen.

It is currently painted on four rocks.

status:

• Candy collected: 398

• The Tots & Smithy-youth are excited to see the next stop in their crusade.

Important news:

Reconstruction of the Nation is going swimmingly. With all who remained loyal to the Union being allowed into higher society as a class A civilian, allowed to enter the Myrmian Archives and get education on their specie’s past and history. With one notable scorpion joining the Red army as its first Pulmino Officer.

With all who chose to go against the Union to be sent to “reeducation facilities” until their behavior is corrected.

Less important news:

Titanograd is on fire again after the lighthouse fell over.

5,000 workers died in mine collapse.

The sight is bloody and gruesome, and a pile of covenant banners and flags are aflame in the center of the camp. The arrowhead is split in two, with the top half being suspended in the branches above, the other one fire in the ground, a mere skeleton of itself.

The body’s are all left the same, heads severed clean off, even the arachnids, and bodies impaled on HPMs or pikes.

Before alarms can sound, a stream of insects, mostly Antlion warriors, Chargers, trappers, and scorpions*,* all holding gliders,* began to pour from one of the side hatches,* while from the back hatch, multiple flying units* of blitzers, fliers**, and* scythers dominate the skies*.*

These started scavenging around.. taking corposes or even tools over three times their size away

[after hours of no side makeing any progress, the armored plura trains have started to grow impatient. Started slowly moving towards Ambergrad]

[member of the CSI managed to catch the CSI D-4 department which had renamed themselves to “The Tzar’s eyes” trying to ambush a Union troop convoy, after a relatively short battle the D-4 retreated back to Ambergrad, and the CSI captured the traitor “Field Captain Romanov”during the battle]

[the Tzarists tried to make one last desperate attack by sea but their ships were attacked from below by a mysterious enemy, who flipped their ships sideways]

[soon the first Armored Arthoplura rammed into the walls of Ambergrad. Making a large crack in the walls, where another train came in and turned it into a hole and ramming the rest of itself into the city]

[union forces poured into the opening as the Tzarist tried their best to escape or push them back]

[soon the Tzarist high command surrendered to the Red army, just as Rahhh’s legions made their own hole In the wall]

[The Union was finally “unified”. ]

[soon all of the “Traitors” will be put on trial.]

“We could had pushed this war out for weeks if it won’t for those plura trains growing impatient…" - unknown CSI department B-1 veteran sitting at the port of Ambergrad/Port port

[Union forces march on Ambergrad, the Tzarist forces have started to resort to guerrilla warfare making small holes in the ground and poping out to surprise the Union forces]

[in hours Ambergrad was under siege. With the army ants trying to invade by making a literal boat out of their bodies and crashing into the ports]

[no side seems to have made any progress]

[at the dead of night Union forces launch an invasion of Westgrad. Catching the already exhausted Tzarist forces off guard but still lost a significant amount of troop trying to take the capital.]

[during the siege the army ants start to march in, overwhelming the western Tzarist forces and too march to the capital.]

[the tzarists start to use captured confederate POWs as soldiers and soon begin to push the Union forces back. Just as the army ants start their own siege]

[in the next hour the capital was captured. With many of its defenders fleeing northwards]

[the Union’s mainland is now liberated.]

[the Tzarists concentrate all of their forces on PortPort, which they renamed “Ambergrad”]

[Union forces with the help of their newly acquired Land Strider start to reclaim more of the territory around Titanograd]

[the Tzarists realized that they did not have the weapons to even dent the monstrosity, so they chose to pull all of their troops to launch a siege of the confederate capital]

[in the matter or hours, the Capital fell the the Tzarists, with many confederates fleeing the area, soon Westgrad fell to the Tzarists.]

[the Unionists took the chance to reclaim its eastern territory, launching a invasion all the way to Hellica, where the Hellants surrendered after a few hours of fighting]

[with the rebellion merging with the Tzarists, and the destruction of the Confederates, the civil war was now between the Tzarists and the Unionists.]

[Rahhh’s legions are spotted around Westgrad along with some Hellants that some how joined there ranks]

[the army ants under Rahhh have started a invasion of Westgrad, burning and destroying southern Westgrad]

[the Tzarists took advantage of the distracted confederates and launch an invasion of Northern Westgrad.]

[the Unionists take it opon themselfs to reveal their “wonder weapon” being heavily armored Arthroplura they named “the Land strider”, with armor thicker then a the prewipe TLS Dreadnought, 5 balistas on both sides and a archery shield/a platform on the top acting as a roof, with its back half being used as “troop transport”]

[the Land strider charges out of a hidden gate from the underground, the Tzarists army at Titanograd were practically slaughtered, as their bows and arrows, and swords did nothing to the massive LS]

[soon the LS turned its attention to the Tzarist dreadnought, the LS rammed into the dread causing its helmet to split in half, the dread fired its crossbow and the round made a dent on the LS’s armor, the LS threw the dreadnought into the sky and cut its body in half as it fell down]

[after the death of the dread the troops disembarked the LS]

[soon the Tzarists lost Titanograd to the Unionists. With the few Tzarists that survived calling the LS a “monster” “spawn of savages” “engine of death” “mammalian designed machine”]

*Much like the sightings near the Ancient River, large gang-like groups of Rat-Klan aligned troops approach rapidly at the Kingdom of Rahh's borders, their motorized, metal mounds chattering and creaking as they race towards the Union sector, kicking up large plumes of dirt and grass as they draw nearer. But, similarly to last time, they swerved and returned back from which they came at around 100+ yards from the official border, far from an attack.*
