+++++++++As condemnations, offers of support, declarations of neutrality, and further threats continued to be filed in regards to Milograd, the Dh'arconian High Command collectively pondered how they would address these responses. Various nations of Gholgoth had pledged their support to Milograd, as had former acquaintances such as New Scorpio. The Freeks had chosen to take manners into their own hands by assaulting Dneprdaniya, as had Jagada, while the Ralkovians had also decided upon a similar choice. Despite what the High Command would publicly claim, it was preferable to them that the larger powers of Gholgoth address threats such as Dneprdaniya so that the Empire would not have to. Milograd still had its own issues to address though, that being Vbingvan and the Theocratic Dominion of the Beatus.
Dh'arco Rahavuhra Jukill sighed upon reading the message conveyed to him on behalf of the Theocracy, that of which was penned by Edwardo Listless of Beatus. He was hoping to avoid having to deal with any more interferences, and could not help but wonder why anyone else would interfere with Milograd's objectives -- he had believed that the demonstration against Vbingvan would have proven a point. Perhaps if he made the assault on Vbingvan even
more brutal...maybe they would come to their senses then. Milograd, however, did not possess the capabilities to improve upon the brutality being expressed through the Vbingvanian campaign. It then occurred to him that utilizing weapons of terror could potentially achieve what he desired. This begged the question; what weapons?
Milograd had used a large amount of its chemical weapons stockpile during its original end of isolation in 2011, during the Quirinian and Ryouese invasions of Milograd. The most vicious and effective chemical and biological weapons in the Empire's arsenal had, for the most part, been utilized at that time; the weapons had successfully brought terror upon the foreign invaders, and the biological attacks prompted military withdrawal from both invading parties. Without its open weapons, Milograd would be unable to project the fear and power that it wished to. Rumors had swirled around earlier that year that the Empire of the Twin Thrones of Karita had a notably impressive NBC program, that of which controlled some of the more powerful weapons of mass destruction ever to be devised. As one would expect, the program was incredibly secretive and a majority of the aforesaid rumors were responded to as being false by the Karitian government. Jukill had never been convinced that this was the case, and for that reason he would pen the following letter. Unlike a typical message from the Supreme Warlord, this message would be genuinely formal and respectful...
The First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd To the esteemed leadership of the Empire of the Twin Thrones,As your government is likely aware, the Empire of Milograd's goals and desires of isolationism have been interrupted by the wanton interventionists hordes. The World Assembly Security Council has condemned our nation, and as a result, various declarations of war, embargo, and condemnation have been directed towards the Empire. Recognizing that it is the right to any state to exercise their own domestic policies, we cannot help but interpret this reaction as a severe violation of our sovereignty.
Acknowledging this, I, on behalf of the First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd, would like to inquire as to whether or not your government would be interested in assisting Milograd in its defense against these threats. We recognize the Empire of Twin Throne's impressive military capabilities, and would be more than willing to make assistance worthwhile for Karita.Dh'arco Rahavuhra Jukill
Supreme Warlord of MilogradThe Dh'arco had not explicitly mentioned the NBC program of the Empire of the Twin Thrones, but he was hopeful that his hint concerning it would be noticed.

OOC: I was personally hoping that we could RP the stages of naval combat wherein we actually have to search for each other's ships, Vbingvan, but whatever. The exodus you RP'd as having happened should probably take a bit longer too. Also, is there a reason that you guard SHORAD sites with special forces? It seems awfully odd... )As the fire from the Milogradian warships continued to bombard the eastern coast of Vbingvan, the Imperial Navy failed realize that a mass exodus had occurred in the night, yet bombardment would continue as planned. After merely one day of bombardment, hundreds of thousands of citizens and military personnel had already been reported as having been slaughtered, much to the joy of Admiral Yuut. Videos had recorded skyscrapers and large buldings collapsing in the city of Idrivlik; dust and hellfire consuming the thousands of citizens in the urban areas of the city. Such would be the least of the terror conjured by the Milogradian military by the end of the conflict, however. The Resource Initiative's subjugation of Vbingvanian cities would be, without a doubt, the truly brutal stage of the Milogradian onslaught.
The Vbingvanian navy had engaged the northernmost flotilla of the Milogradian invasion fleet, and such ultimately deterred or disabled at least seven warships from proceeding much further. Milograd's MSS Rushan, the MSS Wamrak, the MSS Yutu, and the MSS Warbringer had taken heavy damages in the initial Vbingvanian naval assault, the latter two capsizing. Thirty minutes after the assault, Milogradian AWACs took note of the location of several warships, that of which were believed to be destroyers and cruisers.
Admiral Yuut was quickly informed of this by Captain Hyran of the MSS Wijra via telephone, "Our airborne early warning and control systems have picked up on the source of the Vbingvanian missile fire. They're approximately 400km outwards, northeast of the Hellbringer's position, Admiral. There may be more within that area, but our systems aren't able to go out much farther than they already have." said Hyran.
"I see. Our part of the fleet is currently occupied with bombardment, so your formation may handle those threats. I can order some further assistance over to your ship if need be." replied Yuut.
"Acknowledged. Much thanks."
"Of course." At that point, Yuut hung up the phone and returned to the Admiral's chambers on board the
Hellbringer II. It had participated in the bombardment of the eastern Vbingvanian coast for over twenty four hours, and at this time Yuut concluded that it would now be possible to send in initial Resource Initiative forces. Several optimal landing points had been scoped out by the special forces that had been originally sent into Vbingvan, and with the enemy's SHORAD defenses softened by the bombardment a largescale helicopter landing by Resource Agents was then possible. Amphibious landings would inevitably occur, but until then it was deemed preferable that the Imperial Navy have ground forces already prepared within Vbingvan. The mass exodus, along with the bombardment, would mean that Vbingvanian defenses would likely be thinly spread.
Helicopters carrying the initial Resource Agent deployments took off from their respective carriers later that night, and proceeded to make their way towards the outskirts of Vbingvan's capital. Several hundred helicopters were deployed upon that night, twenty of which were FAH-2 'Vassago' Attack Helicopters, and 80 of which were MY4 Aerial Troop Transports.
Captain Hyran's warship, and the ten other ships in his formation, chose to address the Vbingvanian ships by crossing their T's at bow and firing a large amount of missiles. The warships themselves did not truly have a chance to enter main-gun range, yet they were instructed to act as if they would. Whilst it would normally be absurd to cross the T's of every enemy ship simultaenously, the numerical advantage that the Milogradian Imperial Navy held made it possible in this situation. An interception course had been plotted so that the northern warships would be in gun range when the enemy's T was crossed.
And so the campaign would continue; Day Two...
