"...Moving on, we have another major movement from the Southern Defensive District Command from the Defense Forces, as according to sources, armored vehicles has started to make their move with the Marine warships also departing from the docks of Agevær..." - FCNN

"The 125th Kawagrzmotian Hussars has reportedly been seen in Agevær. This unit of Kawagrzmotian origin is generally regarded to excel in offensive operations, which have been known in the Southern Wars and the Reunification Wars. The unit's presence could be signalling that direct action will be taken" - Silver Eagle 24/7

"This large movement of troops is unprecedented since the Reunification Wars, with an estimation of around 20,000 of Land Army and Mariner soldiers currently present" - Dagens Begivenheder 24/7 Radio

"The Ministry of Defense has not commented on this situation have the soldiers have repeatedly refused to talk about the whole matter, leading to many to believe that something drastic is coming" - Arrangementer Globale Agevær

Vastika, Havenklein, Commonwealth of Esterria, 4/7/1702
The recently liberated city of Vastika is still threatened by the EAS who had attempted to encircle them in an effort lay siege. And while they have been able to slow them down, the Commonwealth had to act quick in the last few months to get their newly-equipped personnel weapons and vehicles inside discreetly.

The pro-slavery rebel group had been quite a pain especially with KU's backing, giving their Royal Army quite a beating. However, they do not know anything about the capability of the new weapons as they tried to push on, which is exactly what Einskirka had intended.

"Status report!" ordered Lieutenant Vincent van Kuik with a completely different attire. No longer did he wear his usual sky blue uniform, now he's adorning the dark green uniform and helmet of Flashia.

"Sir, the rebel forces had us surrounded to the West and South, and also North-West with some of their ships" reported one of his subordinates in the same set of uniform "That said, we have managed to sneak just enough men and new equipment in. APCs, recon vehicles and howitzers are on standby"

Vincent nodded in acknowledgement.

"What about the Luftforsva or whatever they're called?"

"Sir, I have been told that they will be arriving in... 10 minutes"

"And the musketeers?"

"They are at the walls right now, keeping up the illusion before we switch on them"

"Very well, you are dismissed"

"Thank you sir" the soldier then walks away to the column of vehicles.

As to why musketeers are still being used in the frontline, this is to create a false image that the Flash equipment is not that different at all, a deception that would be broken when they least expect it.

The lieutenant glanced at where the sound of the classic fightings are calling out, with smoke rising from there and the sound of musket and cannons firing still being a constant.

He takes out his hand clock from his shirt pocket and opens it, it's 2:18 in the morning. He then closes the clock and put it away, now he awaits for the signal to come.

Esterflaske Airbase, right outside of Havenklein
The 127th Squadron of the Luftforsvar consisting of 8 second-generation Harriers have finished the mounting of weapons and refueling. The aircrafts then taxi to the runway, where they will take to the skies to conduct their mission. Two-by-two, the Harriers waited in line until it was their turn.
