Karin was next, it was a rather mountainous province, alike Ganjar as this was formerly a connection between Azkay and Cronaal, thus the ancient trade between he two nations. The mountains were not snow-peaked but rather fully a large range of rock and stone throughout the entire height of the mountains. There were somewhat paths going throughouts these mountains however, carved by the ancient people but they were mostly gone by this point as erosion through the several thousand years had consumed the path as the Eknorve people had moved on to roads. The road used led underneath the mountain itself as a tunnel, it too was mainly disused though as most people entered the province by aircraft or boat despite the mountains not being too large. There was another way though, a very experimental way. And also very dangerous. Teleportation. It was nationally frowned upon as being dangerous and risky but it was still open to the public as an option of travel in order to save a lot of money. Some people frowned on it as it promoted laziness as well, just go into town and stand in a tube then suddenly you're several thousand miles away. If you survive.
"KARRI MAER-DOS THEJ GARPHAERS'AR" A woman screamed as the street right in front of her body blew up into shattered concrete and light-grey smoke. Glass was was also thrown around by the explosion as the neighbouring building was a Cesta Cafe with large glass windows to see into the cafe's dark red, formal design. Behind the explosion appeared a group of seven rebel soldiers dressed in armour similar to a Cronaali SWAT Team. It was solid black all over with a large helmet with a Maxi-Glass face-area, the body armour had many hooks and pouches, it also had areas to sheath your weapons, including bows which were practically obsolete weapons. They had a strange orange star-like shape on their backs, almost a pentagram but missed the top point which was replaced with a Celtic design, like the national flag. Their guns were unknown to the army, it's like all of this technology was entirely foreign or self-developed. This was one of the few reasons to applaud the rebels if such was true, could one person have so much money as to create their own set of advanced technology, higher than the almighty nation of Cronaal's, to destroy the nation they were rebelling against? No, not at all. The soldiers began to run at the citizens with bullets flying as several war vehicles began to enter the city by the road tunnel.
Several groups of 7 soldiers began to appear, out of nowhere, across the city and begin attacking people from all fronts. Slowly, these groups increased and increased and there was a full invasion on the city, name Pharre, meaning Harbinger's Land. Buildings began to catch fire as explosions and napalms we set off across the cityscape. It was, too, scenic alike several other battles. But these rebels didn't stop murdering, not even the children were spared, even if Cronaal regained full control of itself... It'd be broken and useless. It's regional power would be lost as it would be poor and only scraping by to rebuild everything destroyed. They began to destroy smaller buildings, such as banks and stores making the city essentially uninhabitable resulting in people leaving. This would mean the army too would leave as there'd be no reason to protect the city. If it went right, of course.
They did so. The people were not happy. They were sick of their petty actions and raised against them, several hundred thousand people against maybe 2000 soldiers. This was the first time of all the provinces that the citizens hadn't ran away like small children when they see a bully. They grabbed anything they could; pipes, actual weapons, chunks of metal. etc.. Roughly 294 rebels were killed before the large crowd, which was reduced down to 125,029 people, fled the scene when the rebels received tank reinforcements. The tanks didn't care, they shot at the large crowd and caused the death of tens of thousands of people, their corpses flung into the air and rained down on the living or injured as the rebel fleet continued to brutally murder them with bullets and bayonets. It was truly a gruesome sight for even the most sadistic of people. Some stayed behind to fight off the people murdering their friends or relatives, but only a handful of people which were soon killed. These soldiers had no remorse, they just wanted to kill and destroy. They were mindless.
A few days later, the city was essentially a wasteland and there was a battle at Perine'thelle Beach, a beach on the Sooth of the metropolis. Large warships were throwing giant cannon-sized bullets into the city as government tanks shot into these warships. The ships were merely dented, they were made of Guarlilimite, a highly rare and expensive material with it's only known location being just outside of Juka, a nation on the very border of Eknorvian Territory on the Western Isle. But soon after, roughly 3 hours, one of the ships began to leak just as the airforce came in to help battle the rebels away inside the city. Then suddenly there was a white flash at the beach and the sand began to slip into the ocean and slowly consume the tanks on the way. A bomb had been set off underneath beach and it was collapsing. The tanks were too slow the get onto the road in time meaning the soldiers inside didn't only suffocate, they drowned as water filled their tanks and the air slipped out. Meanwhile in the city, planes were crashing into the destroyed city left and right. Those planes were the government's.
There were near to no government troops left. It was confirmed that Pharre was lost, and Karin with it.
