[Seastone Port City - The Aquaria Kingdom - Southlands]
Teuila was standing on the walls as she watched an army preparing to siege the port she was defending.
At first, she couldn't believe the ssage she received claiming the Nethanians turned on them and invaded.
Rumors say that the First Prince Jayhan Samra poisoned the king and aligned himself with Solhaven, and the Aurelian Kingdoms.
The combined three armies smashed the Aquarian border defenses but were stopped thanks to the army that was boosted from all the lands they received in the last war.
They managed to stop the invasion thanks to the inner kingdom castles and forts. The mana cannons pushed them back for now.
This was the only reason the kingdom hadn't fallen yet. But bad news appeared when a Solhaven naval attack succeeded in the west and they took port city Dawnhaven.
But soon helped arrived when the Zenians sent an army south and was due to arrive in a week.
Teuila was watching the enemies as the city's guard commander inford her. ''The Aurelians have launched their attack princess. We must prepare.''
She nodded and the commander started barking out orders and the cannons began to roar to life as they fired into the enemy ranks.
So of the shots hit their targets taking out many Aurelians but most were blocked by the mages.
That's when Teuila spotted a small group of soldiers rushing toward the wall. She turned to the loyal and battle-hardened soldiers, who had gathered along the battlents.
They were looking at her, their trust in her unwavering. Her voice rang out, strong and commanding.
"Listen well, my warriors," Teuila began her words carrying across the silent night. "The enemy approaches. They seek to breach our walls, but we shall not yield. Our kingdom, our ho, is at stake. Stand firm, for tonight we defend Seastone with every ounce of our strength."
A murmur rippled through the ranks of her soldiers, their resolve bolstered by her unwavering leadership.
Teuila's hand tightened around the hilt of her sword as she glanced at the soldiers under her command, she knew the ti for words had passed.
She was a warrior princess, and protector. She would lead by example. Without hesitation, Teuila leaped off the towering wall, her cloak billowing behind her like a dark shadow.
As the Aurelian vanguard approached, their torches flickering in the distance, revealing their positions.
Teuila landed gracefully among them, her sword drawn and gleaming in the firelight. The clash of steel against steel echoed through the night as she t the enemy head-on.
With unparalleled skill and courage, her blade was a blur of deadly precision.
She moved with the grace of a dancer and the strength of a lioness, striking down her foes with each swing of her sword.
The enemy, taken aback by her ferocity, faltered for a mont, but so of the Aquarian soldiers joined her attack.
Together, they pushed back the vanguard, driving them away from the walls.
Teuila's heart pounded with the thrill of battle, and her soldiers fought with unwavering determination, inspired by their princess's fearless example.
As the first rays of dawn broke over the horizon, they stood victorious but that was cut short as more soldiers rushed at them.
They were forced to retreat back into the city where a long and bloody siege would take place.
[The Zenian Empire]
Nefertiti was staying in an army camp in the north while in a foul mood due to not seeing Archer.
She knew he was trapped but was still angry either way, her Father asked her to help the Arcane Mages.
They were sent to the north to stop the Pharothonian's attack, while her siblings were sent southwest.
Her Father went west to put down a rebellion that sprung up from nowhere. Nefertiti just returned from an attack.
She was walking through the camp when an alarm went off warning everyone of an incoming attack, Nefertiti walked over to the wall and climbed up.
When she did, she saw a wave of beasts but they were being controlled. The Zenians started firing arrows and spells.
Nefertiti got to work and started firing Arcane Blasts into the horde, sending many flying and crashing into each other.
The attacks continued like this for hours. By the ti the beasts were dealt with everyone was tired when they heard a horn in the distance and saw a new army joining the fray.
The Zenian commander ordered a retreat to Sobek Castle and within a day most soldiers were back in the castle.
Nefertiti's temper was getting worse as she stood on the wall and fired spells into the Pharothonian army.
Soon the battle of Nilewinds Province started and it would stretch on for weeks as battles were won and lost but it always ended in a stalemate.
The emperor sent reinforcents and over the next two weeks, the Zenians pushed forward and reclaid lost land until the Pharothonians released their beasts again.
The north was now at a standstill as the beasts road the land and attacked convoys and patrols constantly.
Nefertiti was now stationed in Karnakhold Castle which blocked the way south and was the last Zenian bastion in the north.
She started to pray to whatever god would listen that Archer would return and help as she was getting irritated and fed up with the war.
As the days passed she received news that her Father was victorious and her siblings were still fighting while she was bogged down there.
The emperor was sending reinforcents to the north but thanks to the long distance they were taking their ti.
[The Solari and Lunaris Empire's - Land Of diterra]
While Archer disappeared alongside Llyniel, Hera, and Talila rushed ho and helped out the Solarian mage core as they were stretched thin.
The Delphosians rallied the Aeternumians and Achaeanians before launching a two-pronged attack on the Solarians and Lunarians alongside a large band of pirates who were working with them.
The empires were caught off guard as the diterra war was all but over and a peace treaty was in the works.
After the attack, the Elves regrouped and started launching counterattacks, and they managed to reclaim the territory they had lost.
Together, the two armies pushed the Western Alliance forces back to the banks of the Hyacinth River.
The war beca one of gorilla warfare and raids which the elves could handle as long as the Republic didn't send reinforcents alongside the other two kingdoms.
Hera, Talila her guards, and her academy friends were dispatched to the southwestern region and were stationed at the Arcadian Castle that guarded the western border.
Talila was taking out many Republic soldiers trying to sneak across the river while Hera and the Solari commander just watched on
When the Aeternum and Delphosian laid siege to the castle, the Lunarians were pushing the alliance from the north which forced the alliance to split their army.
But what they didn't expect was the Zenia Empire in the south steamrolling the Achaean Kingdom and helping the Solarians.
The sa was happening with the Lunarians, they were pushed back but thanks to reinforcents from the eastern part of the empire they managed to push back the invaders.
They blocked all bridges that crossed the Hyacinth River before the moon elf armies set up temporary fortresses on their side.
Hecate didn't return and she wasn't missed. The emperor was still confused because of Archer's choice and wondered why he picked the odd daughter.
However, whispers had reached his ears suggesting that the young man was happy with the girl, and had been spotted together on multiple occasions with her.
This information had been relayed to him by the Solarian emperor, following the signing of a peace treaty that had cented the two forr enemies as allies in the diterra War.
The war ca to a standstill with neither side able to press forward without losing thousands of soldiers.
So both commanders decided to hold at the river and launch raids into the empires and vice versa.
[Sentinels Reach - The Sumrfield Duchy - Southern Avalon]
Sia was standing on the battered castle walls as she was breathing heavily as the Avalonians repelled another assault.
This ti they lost even more soldiers and were only left with twenty thousand Avalonians and Moonhavenians against over one hundred thousand Duskmire and Silverpeak soldiers.
She looked at the mana cannons and ordered them to fire at will. They roared to life and fired over the wall.
The charged mana blasts slamd into the enemy soldiers causing so of them to turn into ashes but most of the attacks were blocked by the Duskmire Mages.
When the first battles happened it weakened the Nagendra Kingdom which forced them to pull back to their border as Silverpeak could invade them at any ti.
That left the Avalon Empire and Moonhaven Kingdom to fight the unexpected war but thanks to the emperor's preparations the outco would've been different.
But sothing unexpected happened as enemy reinforcents appeared which threw every plan they were making out the window.
Two hundred thousand soldiers from the Everfallen and Shadowfen Kingdoms on the southeastern border declared war and joined the alliance.
They invaded by using the bridge that led into the Iron Marches. An area that has seen thousands of battles between the empire and Southern Kingdoms over its long history.
