A frigate of the Flash Navy sails somewhere far from the big island to their starboard.

"Fire mission target Terra-5, locked on..." reported a weapons officer of the ship "Missile has been armed... Sir, are you sure that it'll hit considering GPS coverage is still bad here?"

"... There's only one way to find out" asserted his superior "Command approved"

"Copy... 2-1, engage!"

"2-1 engaging"

In a moment, the burst of flame was shot out of an open cell holding the missile that is now propelling off the skies. Dusting off and smoking the deck, the missile arched towards the right of the ship's heading.

"Missile away, I repeat, missile is away"

...

"...Eljeð is an interesting case where despite being located so far North resulting in its characteristically cold environment, it is still filled to the brim with foliages. With its location to the East of Beri as the 2nd biggest main island, trees are an especially common sight in this island, complete with leaves covered in snow"

...

BOOM

...Was the sound that finally reached their ears after the sight of the eruption as soldiers of Berian origins fighting under the flag of Flashia stood on top of their vehicle, sticking their guns out of the hatch while the armored vehicles moved in a column of 4, through a narrow road surrounded by trees on both sides.

"You know what that could be?"

"...A fortress that is now nothing more than rubbles?"

"Rubbles? An entire fort? Is it really that powerful?"

"How else do we hear the explosion from here? I mean, the fact that the sound took that long to come, yet still that loud should be a testament to that!"

Other than the sound of the track creaking and the subtle rumble of the boxy vehicles that were pulled from storage and pushed back into active service, the scenery was calm, maybe with the exception of some smoke... but their guts aren't feeling it.

Behind those bushes and trees could be any of the DLA troops hiding, waiting to jump them. And so, they remained as vigilant as slow and steady they went. Rifles, machine guns, 20mm autocannon, all prepared for a fight or two.

They were confident, but considering the actual armor thickness of the boxes they're on, they quietly hoped that it won't be a kinetic light that starts the attack.

For now though, the scene continued to fall silent as the boxes continued to roar and rumble. And in the middle of it, chatters carried by some sort of signals would also fill in.

"This is Command speaking, all callsigns report your status, over"

"Vänpan, convoy's on the move, yet to encounter further resistance"

"Utmärmate reporting, standing by at the South-Eastern coast"

"Spel here, troops are currently in combat, in the town leading up from the South-Eastern coast at the center, over"

"Þyngaur, engaging hostile contacts in the forest around where we landed right now"

And so on...
