Central Military District. Springheart. People's Republic of Elflandia. 10th of Geminusian. 33rd NLC. 07:00 of morning.

Elflandic Defense Minister, Senior General Gretel Meissner visits the Central Military District. With her is a piece of Paper.

District Commander: Greetings, Comrade Defense Minister, Meissner. *Salute*

Gretel: At ease. Come. This is urgent matter.

The District Commander was unsure as to why. She didn't even know what was going on. The Soldiers on the other hand. Stand at attention to Gretel.

EPA Cadets: *Salutes* Greetings, General.

Gretel: At ease, Comrades. *Salutes*

Upon entering the room. Gretel gives paper to the Commander.

District Commander: Eh? A Joint Operation with both Fairies and Lolilandics?

Gretel: Yes. There was a rumors about Terrorist activity in the Southern World.

District Commander: Aw fuck. When?

Gretel: As soon as possible.

District Commander: But why a Military Operation and not a Counter-terrorist force?

Gretel: Intel says they have "Large-sized Terrorists" detected. I even plead to talk to the Spider Lily Satellite and able to confirm it. I doubt any Counter-terrorist force can handle this. And at large numbers too.

District Commander: Sounds good to me.

Gretel: To be fair. This shit feels like what happened a year ago with Arghansus. Ugh!!!!!

District Commander: Are you okay, Defense Minister?

Gretel: Yeah yeah. My bad. Just stressed out. Well. Farewell then. Send your assigned troops to the Southern District. I'll handle the rest.

District Commander: Very well. *Salutes* Goodbye.

Gretel: *Salutes* Good day, Comrade.

Gretel leaves the District and went south through a train. As a Defense Minister with the rank of General of the People's Army, which is Second Highest Rank of the EPA, and as the only High Elf to attain such rank, it wasn't an easy job for her. Specially that, most of the soldiers of the Elven People's Army are either Wood or Dark Elves. Further more, she also have Fire Elves, whom in-charged of Incendiary or Thermobaric variant of Weapons, and Poison Elves, whom in-charged of Chemical and Biological Weapons, at her disposal. Suffice to say, Gretel has absolute control of the entire Elven People's Army, due to fact the Army itself adopting the Authority power of the Defense Minister from their Lolilandic Counterpart. But Gretel knew better. She would prefer to let her Comrades of lower rank do the job and wouldn't care what methods. She only wants them to win and survive without risking violations to whatever laws of both her Country and the CAP Allies. By the time she arrived in the South, Several Lolilandic and Fairopian Troops were already there.

Southern Military District. One hour later.

Gretel: Seems I'm late huh.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Alina: Not really. You're just in time. *cuddles Gretel*

Gretel: Sup, Alina. Oh hello too, Eliza.

Eliza: Ah. Gretel, my friend. What took you so long?

Gretel: I-uh. I rode with a train. Am I not really late?

Eliza: Nope.

Alina: Just came in time. On side note. What exactly is going on here?

Eliza: I'll explain. Let's go.

And so the three Defense-Ministers, Marshal Alina Zhukova of Lolilandia, General of the Holy Kingdom Army Eliza Browncakes, and General of the Elven People's Army Gretel Meissner steps in the staging ground. To their sight was an assembly of Elven, Fairy and Lolilandic Troops.

Elven, Fairy, Lolilandic Troops: Greetings, Comrade Commanders *Salute*

Alina, Eliza, Gretel: At ease, Comrades *salute*

Eliza: Thanks for coming. Now here's a thing........

Eliza explained what exactly is going on. An uprising of a large scale Terrrorist group detected in the Southern World. Eliza explained that according to an Orentsian Oil Worker, they were harassed nonstop and even manage to kill the guards there. The Oil Worker said the group identified itself as the Cult of Arghansus, a Cultist-themed Armed Group aimed to bring back the killed Demon Lord and to kill anyone opposing them. Eliza concluded that the Oil and Mining facilities in the Southern World are viewed as "Hostile" to these Cultist Militia. Further more, Eliza also mentioned the workers had to evacuate before getting a go signal from the CAFCAP Officials, courtesy to General Heinz Steiner.

Gretel: So that explains it. Well. Here we go again. Fighting Arghansus. This time a fucking cult.

Soldiers: *whispering noises*

Eliza: *clears throat* Although I have to warn you this Operation will severly hamper the Economy of the whole CAP due to whatever damages at these facilites. But ECCAP sets back-up plan as we speak.

Alina: Futhermore, Spider Lily Satellite will be unavailable to support us other than observation and tracking.

Gretel: And the hardware Limitation is set only to the Ground level. No Air Support though. But I'm sure it won't be much hard for you, right?

The Soldiers only say yes. Even though no Air Support, they were confident they can handle it, as they believed they have more than enough firepower to deal with this Cultist Terrorist group. Plus they also mentally planning their tactics and all on engagement.

Alina: I knew it. You girls have ways. With that said you'll be dispatched tonight. Get some preparations and rest for now. May our Goddess Guide y'all to Victory.

The Soldiers say yes again. And in few minutes later.

Gretel: Sheesh. Seriously even he's permanently dead Arghansus still gives us problems.

Eliza: Yeah, but I notice there are Netherans in the LPA. You sure it's fine?

Alina: As much as I don't want Netherans, specifically Succubus LPA Troops, everyone says otherwise, even General Tukachevskaya agrees too. Plus Premier Higgins wants to test out the new Magic Jammer in the field.

Gretel: What? Magic Jammer? You mean the new tactical equipment from ours?

Alina: Yeah. I was surprised on that as well.

Gretel: Huh. Well played I guess. But there's one thing weird on that jammer.

Alina: What is this weird thing?

Eliza: Do tell us.

Gretel: This jammer only affects Magical users from both sides.

Alina: Okay. Note to the Netherans, keep them far away from both Fairies and Elven Troops.

Eliza: So the Lolilandics are on rear echelon huh.

Alina: We're on support roles anyways. I don't see much of difference. Well, except for Netheran LPA Troops.

Gretel: Well. Alright. If that's the end of this I'll go home.

Eliza: Already? Come on. Don't go yet.

Alina: Okay. How about I'll treat you something, Gretel.

Gretel: Hmm. Alright. Sounds good to me. Thanks, Alina.

3 hours later.

The 3 Officials went on a Karaoke Bar. After that they went into bathhouse and have a short fun time. Gretel went home as soon as they leave the bathhouse. Eliza followed suit and went home to Fairopia.

Alina: Time to leave as well. But first. I'll drop by to Anastasia to see how's she doing.

Open Airspace 07:00 of evening.

The assembled Troops has fly its way to the Southern World, a scene where facilities becomes ghost town and sooner a bloodbath. They will be commandeered by an EPA Dark Elf with a rank of Colonel. Her name is Edith Zintl.

Edith: Alright. This is, Comrades. Cultist Terrorist vs us. Shame our Lolilandic Comrades will be supporting us from afar.

?: Don't worry about that. Their Officers must have a reason.

?: Yeah. Besides we don't have much of experience so it'll make sense for us to put on front first with the Lolilandics in our backs.

Edith: Hmm very well. With that said. Good luck to us all.

As soon as the Choppers touchdown, around 90 of them, all large. They sprint as quick as possible, with several LPA Troops and Hardware being deployed with Parachutes. This mission puts Fairies and Elves at front, while the Lolilandics at the back. This is a battle between Old, Ancient Magic from one side with Darkness, and Mixed of Magic and Advanced Technology on the other side with Lightness will commence.

?: Master. It seems the enemy is here. But I only see Fairies and Elves with strange equipment.

?: Very well. Too bad it won't help them though.

?: Should we kill them?

?: No. Force them to submit to us, but the kill is allowed though.

?: And if they surrender?

?: Make them pleasure slaves, of course.

?: Yes sir. Men. Follow me.

It didn't take long before Elven APC's spotted the Cultists, and opened fire before getting too close. The first minutes of the battle started indeed brutality. And it's only the beginning.

To be continued.
