As Sigylguard has not only refused to cede to our terms, but has also withdrawn all of its diplomats, the Great Kingdom of Demestris has no choice but to declare war. However, I will also address the inquiries by various cities as to why Demestris is being forced into pursuing the annexation of Sigylguard. To put it thusly...... they had it coming.
[All non-military citizens of the Great Kingdom of Demestris are ordered to move inside the walls of Demestris. This includes the Peasant class who must harvest as many crops as possible and bring in as many animals as possible (with a preference for horses of course) into the city with them.]
[The Demestris reserves are called up (4k soldiers), armed as well as possible (enough for 1k HE and 1k archers), and told to hold out against any invaders wishing to attack Demestris. A local commander is also given the right to conscript as many adults as required in the defence of Demestris.]
[The military of the Council of Other is absorbed into the Fourth Army.]
[The First Army and the Second Army under the command of Great King Augustus invade the Sigylguard.]
[The Third Army under the command of General Michael invades the Sigylguard.]
[The Fourth Army under the command of General Goku, son of Great Queen Hermione, invades the Sigylguard.]
[The Fifth Army under the command of General Cacame invades the Sigylguard.]
Tradition of the Fifth Army dictates that it always be led by an Elf. The General gains the titular name of 'Cacame', named after the protagonist of the novel 'Elf King of the Dwarves' which became a worldwide best seller before war broke out. The Fifth Army carries a near-intact copy - and only copy, in Demestris - of the book.
