War Declared! Fight against the underground!
Director of Justice Arzanin and Viceroy Havlik of Lusovo assassinated!
Following a series of apparent high profile: high visibility assassinations of the Director of Justice, and the Viceroy of Lusovo outside their places of work. Queen Alycia signed a long awaited Royal Decree that had been anticipated for decades. This Royal Decree mandating the absolute destruction of the Norsian Mafia.
The triggermen of these brutal killings have already been arrested, and their deep affiliation and positions as top enforcers to the Norsian Mafia has been discovered. We will report more on that as the story develops.
The Queen during the decree signing had sadness in her voice and anger in her eyes as she gave a short speech praising Viceroy Havlik as a close friend and a die hard supporter of her beliefs and platform. stating that neither the Viceroy or the Director deserved to be butchered like animals.
At the end of her address he went on to state:
"The Norsian Mafia has been left alone for far too long, to grow and fester like a cancerous rot in our society. Now they've made bold with their power in their growing arrogance. That is the last mistake they will ever make. They have killed high ranking government officials. They have made their organization out to be an organization of rebels and traitors! My enemies will learn that I am a merciful but unforgiving Queen! It is time we knock out the rotten walls, cut out the cancer and burn out the infestation!"
The Decree reads more as a written War Declaration than a traditional Royal Decree. one of its key points is it gives the police and military state mandate to conduct search warrants and other raids on any suspected and or probable Mafia holdings and assets. in fact some of these raids are already being carried out here in Lusovo.
The decree also lifts rules of engagement, their restrictions are gone, and the police, BNSI and Military Police can even leverage the full firepower of the military onto "hard targets." The mafia is no longer being treated as a criminal underground organization, it is being treated as a rebel insurgency. One our armed forces will have full intention of annihilating.
With this breaking news comes the raising of our national security level bringing it back into its red status from what seemed like a really peaceful yellow. Its red status hasn't been in effect since the end of the Civil War. due to this raised status we can expect military roadblocks and checkpoints to be set up in key areas and on major roads. if you see these checkpoints we advise that you do not try to circumnavigate them, or turn around back to where you came. if you approach these roadblocks you must go through them. and of course as always, have Identification and documentation at the ready.
the processions for Director Arzanin and Viceroy Havlik are scheduled for the Thirteenth. from now until the end of the fourteenth all flags are to fly at half mast to signal and honor their passing..
