The Empire continued its assault on the Four Suits Kingdom deep inland into the heart of the Kingdom. The Valencian Mountain Range, a stronghold in which the Coalition of the Four Suits had gathered, was one of the remaining fortresses that the Empire had to besiege in order to win this war. Although the Argossians had seen quick progress taking control of the beaches of the Kingdom, the Valencian Mountain Range and the surrounding areas inland completely slowed their advance to a halt, causing the Argossians to fight out a prolonged war in the arduous conditions of the mountains over the course of the last two years. Everyday they would send troops into the mountains, and when they would take one hill, the Four Suits would recapture another. The Battle of Valencia has since become known as one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war as both sides have seen a great number of casualties.
After seeing the complete failure at taking the Four Suits Kingdom and not wanting to repeat past mistakes, the Emperor has ordered an all out offensive upon the city of Valencia, which spans across the mountain range and acts as the main area of operations for the Coalition. Over the last week, the city has been bombarded repeatedly by Argossian aircraft and cannon fire from the hills that the Argossians managed to take and maintain control over. Today, the Emperor has given the signal for the thousands of infantrymen on the ground to march into the city with the support of several tank platoons to take it. With this overwhelming show of force, the Emperor hopes that the Four Suits will capitulate, but little does the Emperor know that they have been biding their time, waiting for the Argossians to commit too many resources into an attack like this. Now, the Coalition take action in a decisive battle to turn the tide of the war.

Athania woke up in a daze, even though it was all she heard over the last three years, she never got over the sound of shells exploding overhead as they slammed into the magical defenses that the Coalition had set up around the city. She picked up the necklace her mother gave her that sat on her nightstand and placed it around her neck as she got ready for the day, washing off the dust that fallen on her face overnight and donning her uniform. Athania then emerged from her tent to begin the day, according to the Royalty, it was time for the Coalition Forces to mobilize for a counter attack, and it was time to prove that she had surpassed her father in strength once and for all.
