King Alcmund of Bernicia read studiously a summary of the election in Deira. The Deiran National Party had won by a small margin and were now trying to form a minority government. As a military man, Alcmund could see that the time was right for an invasion of Deira: a military victory could give him legitimacy for the Bernician throne and Deira was an easy target. The Deirans had no ships, 40 planes and 2520 ground soldiers with 502 tanks between them. They would be no match for vastly numerically superior Bernician armed forces. He composed a communicat to the new President:
Quote:
 
To: President Nicholas Griffin of the Republic of Deira
From: King Alcmund of Bernicia

It has come to my attention that the Deiran National Party has come to power in their native land. Your racist ideology offends me, as does your deposal of my beloved cousin, President Coenred Leodwalding of Deira. The Kingdom of Bernicia, therefore, reprimands the Republic and hereby declares war on the Republic of Deira forthwith.


In his role as Commander-in-Chief of the Bernician armed forces he ordered 30,000 ground soldiers and 6000 fighters and bombers to approach the border between the combatants before crossing it.

President Griffin was just getting comfortable in the luxurious chair behind his Presidential desk when a small piece of paper was placed on his desk by one of his many secretaries. Griffin removed the official language in his mind and realised that winning the election had been a bad idea. That jumped-up Colonel had reprimanded his party and declared war on Deira. The War of Independencehad ruined Deira financially, morally and militarily. The Republic, therefor, couldn't afford another war and it definitely couldn't believe a stroke of luck and patriotism could strike again. He called in his only remaining high-ranking officer. He was a young Colonel called Steying who had fought in the Battle of Zeray and been present at the Integritist surrender.
"Colonel, do we have any hope of winning against an invasion by Bernicia"
Steying didn't pause at all before saying "no". The President regarded this as being a bad sign so he ordered his officer to bring all soldiers of Deira that remained to defend Nybril, the capital. His hopes weren't high of being in office long enough to be unpopular. He decided to make as much use of the presidential chair as possible before he was deposed and called for his predecessor to be brought to him as quick as possible.

King Alcmund had travelled with his army from Quiso into Deira. A seemingly endless column of uniformed killers had crossed the border with little resistance becoming apparent. The entire military of the Republic of Deira had retreated to Nybril leaving the main part of the country defenceless. Unfortunately for them, Nybril was extremely close to Bernicia.
The Bernician army was nearly at the edge of Nybril now. Noticing this, the battalions and regiments spread out to encompass the eastern side of the city. Squadrons of aeroplanes zoomed through the air above them and began the assault on various military positions in the vicinity, their engines being almost drowned out by the sound of the enemy's artillery. Afer three hours of bombardment the infantry began to fight in the houses that had faced them: they had been manned by the foe.
Hours passed, during which havoc was wrought and destruction, death and bereavement struck ever closer to the centre of the city. The desperate Deirans were in the process of morally breaking down and their killers could sense victory. Nothing could stop the newborn Bernician kingdom.

former President Coenred Leodwalding was in chains. His successor had just entered the dank cell below the palace in which Leodwalding was imprisoned and he started to plead for his life. Taking no notice of this, however, President Griffin pulled out a revolver from the inside of his suit jacket. This silenced the manacled man.
"Tell me why you called for an invasion from your cousin." ordered Griffin roughly but quietly.
"I have no idea what you are talking about! Griffin, why would I call for the destruction of the country I created just because they have rejected me in favour of you? what conceivable evidence do you have of my complicity in these... events?" Leodwalding was visibly horrified at the thought of treachery but Griffin carried on regardless in his accusations.
"I have a communique from your royal and aggressive cousin. It says, and I quote 'Your racist ideology offends me, as does your deposal of my beloved cousin, President Coenred Leodwalding'.My case rests."
"Oh, come on!" replied the former President "That implies no communication between us. It only shows that my cousin wishes that I regain my former power with his help! I swear that I am not complicit!"
"There! You admit it yourself! Your family wants as much power as it can get and you are a convenient vessel for that power." He raised his gun and aimed it squarely at his prisoner's forehead. Murder was the act of a desperate man and President Griffin was extremely desperate. He could feel close tremors from bombs dropped by Bernician planes and he could sense his own certain death. He fired with a steady hand and recoiled in digust at what he had done. He decided to follow through with his plan and withdrew a document from his pocket which he duly signed. The revolver in his hand remained quite steady as he shot himself in the chest. He would rather die than be a prisoner of a foreign monarch.

Berbers on horseback raced into the camp. Out of breath, one of the younger men ran to the Chief's hut. He approached Chief Hizir, who asked what news he brought. "The Bernicians have invaded Deira."

"I must immediately inform the Dux, thank you for your haste. Now catch your breath and drink some water", Chief Hizir quickly wrote the Dux a message.




To: Dux Harrison Torbjørn
From: Chief Hizir

Sir, Berber scouts in our newly acquired Southern desert territory have noted that the Bernicians have invaded the Deirans. Please advise Sir.

Dux mea lux.




To: Chief Hizir
From: Dux Harrison Torbjørn

Thank you for this message and your peoples' general awareness. Please thank the men who notified you of these events. Have no fear. Please send a regiment to the border; put them in contact with the Bernicians, and offer support.




Chief Hizir ordered for his best 200 troops to travel to the border and get in contact with the Bernicians. He had an incredible aspiration for the Dux, and always wanted to impress him.

The troops were in two divisions; one Groenlander, and one Berber.

The Bernicians had totally encircled a group of buildings - government buildings and the palace - that were all that was left of Deira. Regiments had been sent all over Deira and had effectively subdued it. In Nybril the still numerous Bernician army opened fire on the struggling carcass of Deira. It did not last long before a white flag was raised. In response to this, King Alcmund approached the Palace and a figure appeared in the doorway of it.
"Colonel Steying, what a surprise!" exclaimed the King in greeting "You have come to negotiate the conditions of your surrender, I presume?"
"No, your majesty, it is an unconditional surrender. President Griffin signed it before he commited suicide. Your cousin is dead as well. I am sorry.". Shaken by this news, Alcmund took a bloodstained piece of paper out of his former comrade's hand. It read:
Quote:
 
The Republic of Deira is hereby disbanded. All land formerly controlled by said Republic is now property of the Kingdom of Bernicia.
signed: Nicholas Griffin.

The short message was duly signed by King Alcmund and troops surged into the last remaining buildings that supported Deira in Nybril. Soon after, a sentry to the north reported an armed mass of men from the Union of Integritist Territories...

Two Integritist regiments were lead by Chief Hizir's Son, Azim. They had been traveling through the desert for hours; the dry air making the journey more difficult for the Groenlanders who were used to city air, and not desert air.

After crossing the border into Deira they met a small group of Bernician soldiers. They were more lightly armed than regular soldiers. Azim introduced himself, "I am Azim of the Union of Integritist Territories. I am in command of two regiments, and have been ordered to offer assistance to the Bernician Army."

Captain Frithuwald in the Bernician army replied to the noble Berber "I am afraid, sir, that the war is over and Deira is no more. Your regiments may volunteer for clean-up work if you deem it necessary. I am sure that my King will gladly receive you in Nybril, though."

Azim was shocked; he wondered how a war could be won so fast. He figured that the Bernicians must have perfected some kind of blitzkrieg. He was not going to return to his father having done nothing. He had been sent to assist the Bernicians. An order originally from the Dux; and one that must be carried out. After thinking considerably he said, "I have orders from the Dux to assist the Bernicians, and I shall follow those orders even if it means cleaning up."

The Chief's Son exemplified Berber mentality.

"You seem shocked that we have won so fast." said Captain Frithuwald "But you must remember that Nybril is very close to the former Bernician border and that Bernicia has a much larger army. If you want to fight then there are probably some insurgent groups dotted aroynd the country, but I think King Alcmund will want to meet you."
