Restoring the Empire, A Summoning Italy fanfic

Battle of Leifor (1)

(A/N: Map by the end of 1648 (1949)

Leifor, Front Lines, October 11th 1648 (1949)

Italian and Muish soldiers shook hands at the Holy Saint Of Atlas Compound, A Old Holy sight for the Main Muihs Religion. This was the final step in the surronding and destruction of the 17th Kainish Army.

After the initial success of their operations in the summer, which saw them push inside the Leiforian heartland and finding the Olocausto, had been destrutive to the Kainish forces, as many were turned into mincemeat.

But the Kainish now had more worries to have as the Forces they had, growing to 7.7 Million thanks to forcing all they could into the army, was now too ill-trained to fight the enemy.

But Adolf Kan Konig had a desperate plan to win the war on their own terms.

They would bleed the enemy dry into a surrender that they keep many of their old lands.

Kain now knew a victory in the traditional sense was impossible. But they also knew that with the war entering the 7th year and Italy being at war for 9 years, they had a card in their hand.

Anti-War sentiment. 

They were banking that by fighting much longer than needed, losing more men for everyone as needed, the people would grow tired and demand a peace of any kind.

But the Olocausto had done the damage to the world. None wanted anything less than total victory or total annihilation. 

Most people did want the war to end, but not without making Kain pay for what they did. Victory was the only option for the wartime allies.

And so, any tries for peace by the Kainish government, would not only be futile, it would be met with the same demand: Unconditional Surrender.

But now that the ground had gotten solid once more. It was time for a new offensive. 17 days ago in the Southern front, the assault began with Mu and Italy coming from north and south.

And now it was already the end of the offensive, 177 000 Soldiers became trapped in the fortress city of Putzan. As the front line would race north, cutting the Kainish from the trapped troops more and more, they launched a rescue attempt.

But it ended in failure, by the end of november as the entire front line now rested on new rivers and powerful marshes, it seems that the Kainish had escaped death once more.

But it would not last forever.

They had taken heavy losses in the offensive, many of their tanks and planes were now destroyed. A Great many more had been captured in the bases they were in, the lack of fuel making them useless.

At one air base, 238 Planes were captured, all of them were brand new as well. Kain truly was on their last legs. 

But as Leiforia got closer and closer to the eyes of the Allies, they got tougher in their resistance.

As Adolf Kan Konig said in his speeches:

''Leiforia shall remain Kainish, Leifor shall Remain Kainish, Do not fight for the empty words 'Fatherland' but for Ashir, Your Kids and Grandkids, your Race! Leifor and Kain shall never be Italian!''

Bold words coming from a country which was doomed to fail at any moment now.

Across the front, eve as it slowed down, the allies were taken scores of enemy forces, even forcing many of them to flee to the Cour Island near Leiforian Bay, All Resistance that Kain had was not for victory.

But for Survival.

Greater Kainish Empire, Leiforian Bay, December 10th 1648

The rest of the Kainish fleet, which had not been fleeing to join the ranks of Annorial, was in disarray. 2 Hours ago, 10 Italian Battleships, unescorted by Carriers or any other ships, arrived in the Bay.
