The Hazardese fleet continued towards Lolloh. They had heard from reports on the ground that Lolloh was sending a fleet to interpret them, so the order was given to launch an AWACs aircraft in five directions to locate the enemy fleet before they were discovered.
One was dispatched for the directions east, south-east, south , south-west and west. Each carried an escort of twenty-four Su-35 fighters, and large numbers of Su-34 attackers were ready to launch in a moments notice.

Small engagements with the enemy were common, and those encounters with enemy professional soldiers were taking their toll, especially the Romburgers. Of course, the poorly-trained Lollohian conscript-recruits were far outmatched by the Hazardese paratroopers, especially in severe hazmat conditions, an environment which the Hazardese were well-accustomed to.
Roughly 65,000 total soldiers remained spread out across Lolloh, mostly in the north and central provinces, but some had managed to sneak into those regions bordering the south.
OOC: I'm assuming an area has been successfully cleared of Hazardese. Also, 65000 vs 600000 will not be easy.
With relatively few casualties during the tactical repositioning up North, the Free State of Ålyask was now bolstered by troops down South. Though the neutral zone was now effectively gone, the new base in the North, was more secure, and was better logistics-wise due to closer distance to the front. Skirmishes with Hazardese forces were reported at times, but so far all their attacks have been repelled. But upon receiving report of a naval fleet, action had to be taken. S-400 and Pantsir anti-aircraft missile systems were re-readied and re-activated to combat readiness. Rombergian patrols became more frequent, but still remaining in small groups to avoid mass casualties and rather be stealth but yet deadly. Occasionally, there would be calls for M75 naval patrol aircraft or even fighters to destroy the Hazardese fleet, but as yet there were still plans. So far, the main goal was to secure the land. Besides, credible intelligence sources have reported that allied forces would already be out at sea trying to dispatch the invading fleet.
