"Good morning Kawagrzmotia! This is the Silver Eagle 142.6 Radio Station, my name is Damian Głowacki, coming at you to bring to thee news. To begin our broadcast, we first would like to get you up to speed about the situation of Gevaka, part of the island state of Agevær. As you may have known for the past few months, the sovereignty of Agevær and the Federal Republic in general had their sovereignty violated by hostile early 18th century armies as they have invaded the island, months after our sudden cut off from our dear home.

As we had hoped before, the Defense Forces struck back at the archaic armies with the Luftforsvar along with the Marine conducting strikes on military infrastructure before the Mariner and the paratroopers dropped in in early morning. As of now, a spokesperson has confirmed that our forces had completely cut off the rest of the enemy forces' mean of getting in and out of the island.

According to the MoD, along with all the magic things, they had found slaves, many were cruelly treated, resembling more of barbarians, which... by the way is what they apparently call us according to our Commonwealth friend. These treatment include forced labor, physical abuse, and... rape... Yeah, I'm not exactly comfortable with talking about this in detail...

...Anyways, the Federal Government had also stated that these liberated slaves will be taken in as refugees in the meantime, while also announcing plans of accepting former slaves that qualify as citizens.

Speaking of Esterria, we now move onto Havenklein. This happened around the same time as our assault on the Kingdoms Union-occupied Gevaka. With the support of the Luftforsvar, they launched a counteroffensive that pushed the rebel forces back by a large margin. The Prime Minister, Gessel Kiel has said that they have essentially reversed the rebel's territory gain of one month in a few hours.

He would also go on to state that Flash equipment donated to the country proved very effective against what the rebels had to offer, destroying many while losing a scarce amount. The Esterrian Royal Army intends to continue its advance until the rebels are thoroughly defeated" - The Silver Eagle

Lernoa Ocean, near the island of Gevaka, 15/7/1702
A massive fleet of the Kingdoms Union Gestrae's state members with the exception of the Kingdom of Naeslagtland, who still refuses to join in the Battle of Gevaka would appear over the horizon. After getting past the just West of Esterria and the Southern landmass of Flashia, unhindered for whatever reason, they would sail towards the island to heed their counterparts on the ground's call for help.

From the looks of it, an 'unknown' army, though by now widely accepted as those from Flashia had attacked the Northern Expeditionary, known as the 7-nation-army, and somehow managed to completely surround them on all sides of the island. This is where the gigantic fleet consisting hundreds of ships would come in.

Captain Svetislav is on board his ship-of-the-line today, as Gošbania sends its ships to contribute to the effort to break the encirclement. Because it's the flagship of the Gošbanian Navy he was assigned to, it was given a rare privilege of leading the entire fleet, along with other ships such as those of Saogaulia and La Ferdina.

"How many ships does the barbarian navy has?" asked Svetislav to one of his sailors.

"Sir, if our intel is not wrong, then it would be no more than a few hundred"

For many, it's a very shocking news at that since the supposedly primitive army was able to turn the Northern Expedition's defense into a full-on disaster in hours. Nevertheless, the KUG pushed on, adamant that they could win out as the enemy only have hundreds of ships, not to mention that it would be unlikely that most of those would be at the occupied island.
