On an escaped Lourian ship,

An observer from Parlpadia, Varhal was shaking, he was sent to observe the destruction of Qua-Toyne from the grand fleet, he was personally intrested to this mission, as he wanted to see how a 4400 ship strong armada fare against primitive weapons, he might be from a civilized zone, but he respected the Barbarian people's ferocity against one another, finding it honorable. However, that enemy ship, was out of his imagination,  it was extremely fast and large and doesn't appear to use magic , which reminded him of the Dios III(imagine Gloire) ironclad launched 4 years ago a steam powered ironclad warship built from Mu and transported to Parlpadia after 12 of them were made over 200 were in service alongside Dios II (CSS Stonewall) and Dios I( USS Monitor) 

When he saw the ship it appeared to have only 8 large cannons, he felt "is this some kind of an joke?" he asked as cannons especially on ironclads were extremely rare in the civilized region apart from Altarus who procured and built ironclads with help from Leifor and HME , cannons even breechloaders were inaccurate causing the invention of 100 gun ships of the line to offset it , yet those large cannons were accurate and its firepower! it took down 100 ships per salvo, even the new 160mm Parlpadian guns can sink 6 or 7 ships in one volley against wooden ships, yet this? he couldn't believe , the ship's shots were accurate to be fired from 30km away 

But the 'metal dragons' scared him the most 70 of them flew against the superior 300 wyvern strong squadron but swatted them like flies and not even suffered anything, even Gahara's wind dragons could not accomplish this , This foreign enemy was becoming technologically advanced to rival his nation should they be too arrogant , he thought as the lourian ships docked in Dessalia, soon to be the second largest naval battle of the war.

Army group South, 150km away from Jin-Hark,

The Panzer iv's were 2 days away General Guderian looked at a crude map given to him, on it were 200 red dots, marking the places they have bombed 4 days ago he annihilated a 100,000 strong army and planned for an offensive alongside his 40,000 troops he had 5,000 Qua-Toynians  who wanted to join the attack 

"general this fort hadn't been taken" a driver said pointing at an map

"you are right send a tank division to Gim and rest with me , send the quatoynian forces too, want this fort cleared by tomorrow"

"yes sir"

Later the fort was bombed to dust by howitzers, despite 'resistance' from the garrison, it was futile and Qua- toynians stormed the fort and executed 500 of the defenders in a fit of blind rage due to the ruthless Gim massacre , he let them to their own devices and another 800 will be brutally killed before he stopped the massacre and captured 2000 prisoners , he did not care what happened with the prisoners, provided it wasn't 'against' the Geneva convention, if it was 100 Meh! if it was 1000 it's fine! if it was 10,000 thats too far!
