Embassy Siege

As the fire spreads throughout the building, 4 more of the guards are killed. Along with the guards, one of the eight diplomats at the embassy is lost to the smoke and flames. But those who remain are able to evacuate to the room of the building, where the two remaining helicopters rapidly evacuate towards a Kilkirian patrol vessel.

The Kilkirian government has no comment about the 'slaughter' of the Levantin Mob invading the embassy.

Battle of the Levantine Sea

With suicidal kamikaze attacks being commit en-mass against the Kilkirian Navy, all fighters and naval bombers are deployed from their Carriers. As planes dive, while they may be out of the range of AA guns, light batteries are able to snip many out of the sky before they can hit the decks. The Royal Navy, however, still takes very high casualties, even as the Kilkire-Danelaw Scandinavia air corps begin showing up in such numbers that they can rival the Levantine air force.

With such a blatant, full on assault of the Levantin navy against the coalition fleets, many of the ships make for easy pickings against enemy torpedoes, battery fire, and bomber strikes. However, despite the vulnerable position the Levantine navy put itself in, the Interiorem Fleet took casualty numbers that the High King Michael reportedly described as "Unacceptably high".

The Home Front

When the ultra-nationalist fervor first took hold of Levantin, the people of Kilkire were simply disturbed, and best described as apathetic. But, now with the Kilkirian embassy - a neutral forum to the Levantine government - not only under siege, but with reported deaths of Kilkirian non-military personnel, the populace was outraged. A national fervor of our own struck Kilkire, with outraged young men and women signing up in the armed forces, with the goal of crushing the evil Levantine government that was clearly out to destroy not only the government of Kilkire, but the people, and even lifestyle of the nation.

OOC: So.... if you recall, in my first Levantine Sea post I stated that I had deployed two task forces. Only one of them is currently fighting your forces. The other one... well.... ur gonna lose a lot of ships.

Battle of the Levantine Sea: Climax

The kamikazi attacks continue, with fighters and bombers targeting larger ships like aircraft carriers and missile cruisers. Several groups of fighters stay in the air to distract the enemy air corps. On the waters, one of the submarines in Task Force "Sword" heads straight for the Kilkiran aircraft carrier with intention of ramming and destroying it. Several small speedy missile boats attempt and ram and destroy destroyers.

"Sword" continues its massive attack. Missile after missile, torpedo after torpedo, is fired at close range into the enemy ships. Many Levantine ships are destroyed in the process and the loss of life is terrible, but the attack continues. "Sword" will take the enemy fleet down with it.

Meanwhile, the second Levantine fleet, Task Force "Hammer" finally takes action. As "Sword" makes the ultimate sacrifice for Levantin, Task Force "Hammer" embarks on a maneuver to hit the enemy fleet on its vulnerable rear flanks. Fighters and bombers are launched from AC carriers and submarines move ahead of the main forces to strike the first blows and disorient the enemy. The destroyers, cruisers, and frigates have activated all CIWS and weapons systems. Complete radio silence is observed to maintain the element of surprise.

No Escape

As the helicopters take off from the burning embassies and fly to "safety", SAM batteries from the capable Citadel Defense System (most advanced in Valsora) open fire sending dozens of deadly missiles straight towards them.

Meanwhile, the embassy burns.....

Home Front

The average Levantine sees the conflict with Kilkire as part of a struggle to liberate the country from the grip of western domination. When an invasion does occur, they will be determined to fight on even if their government falls to the enemy. This is no secret to the Levantine Ministry of Defense, which organized and trained thousands of armed civilian militias across the nation.

In Tel Ayn, you cannot come across a single building without a Levantine flag draped across it. Angry protests against the West involving flag burning is common. The patriotic fervor reaches extreme levels.
