**A Few Minutes Earlier**
**Northern Front Draconian Military Base**
Around the military base, security was on high alert. Some officers thought it was just an average Chronos incursion, but the sight of their military equipment out in the open indicated they were waiting for something. An officer walking around the tarmac saw some engineers arming a multi-role fighter aircraft. He approached them and asked,
"Hey, the air commander never ordered the aircraft to be armed. Why are you guys arming all the aircraft?"
"Well, we've been given orders by high command to prep the aircraft for any given scenario. The empire is beginning its offensive," said the chief engineer.
The officer nodded and headed to the barracks where his unit was stationed. Although it had been two years, it was somewhat boring since, even though they were given new weapons, they had yet to be tested in the field. As he gazed at the film that was playing, surrounded by soldiers and officers enjoying the movie, alarms blared throughout the entire military base. The men watching the movie immediately got up as a person ran inside.
"Orders from High Command: the emperor orders the start of mobilization for all legions. Prepare for war against Chronos!" After shouting the last bit, they immediately began to leave the theater room in an orderly file. As they exited, they saw soldiers running around, grabbing their gear, and jumping into their assigned troop transports.
The officer, carrying his gear and equipment, saw soldiers moving supply crates that had been placed beforehand, ready to be loaded. Convoys of armored transports and tanks were leaving the base, heading to their assigned locations. Everyone's blood was boiling with anticipation, though they were also anxious. This was the largest military operation since some of the officers had been briefed beforehand, and even the lower ranks had been told vaguely.
*Woosh, Woosh*
Soon, a pair of multi-role fighter jets flew past, causing dust to hit them. They also saw the forbidden cavalry moving out rapidly, passing the armored convoy. Some soldiers stuck their heads out and shouted,
"Give them hell, boys!" shouted a soldier.
"Make sure to leave some for us!" shouted the tank commander in the leading tank.
The forbidden cavalry soldiers waved their hands, some saluted, and others raised their weapons. Ever since Alex introduced armored warfare, he still retained the forbidden cavalry as they were a mobile infantry force and engineers. They could scout and take mountainous places. They were a special military branch of the empire.

**Draconia Imperial Palace Balcony Overlooking the Capital**
The citizens of the Draconian Empire had been notified of an upcoming announcement made by the emperor. Large holographic screens appeared in every capital of kingdoms and empires in Pangea. Alex was shown on the screens, wearing his imperial battle attire: an anti-magic steel-plated trench coat mixed with light materials, and a shirt with an anti-magic breastplate.
Alex move forward and had a floating microphone and then he begin speaking letting his mind speak
"My Dear Citizens of the Draconian Empire I know your all asking 'Why has the emperor appeared in a normal day like today?' but i have something important to say or announce to every citizen and people of the empire, As of early as sun rise I declare the mobilization of the Draconian Armed forces in order to begin a military operation that i have been preparing for the past 2 years and a half, this day marks a beginning a war that exterminates a threat to the entire continent of pangea a god named Chronos" he said and paused for a second and continued
"Our armed forces grew in number and technological advancement our weapons have war has been trailed and tested in order to gain the upper hand in this conflict and we shall show our boiled for vengeances" he spread his arms out
"Currently our airforce is already in their skies dropping the raindrops of death and our soldiers converging to their borders and wil begin a campaign that will prove a point that not only to chronos but to every other nation that is against the Draconian empire, that our empire pays back thrice to attack to our citizen and our lands!!!"
"Remember the citizens of Draconia!!" he shouted and those who listened and those who survive the Titan attack on the city of Draconia shouted in vengeance but those who were not quite remembering knows the first and last attack on the capital city also shouted and those who listened in the factories shouted in fervor and move like machines and even those who are in transit to the front and soldiers who were already arriving and are building up defenses move quickly
"Come on men lets join the rampage!" shouted a person in the tavern and that tavern housed retired soldiers of the former siegfried empire and Draconia armed forces
"Lets follow the emperor!" shouted a retired officer and soon the men left the tavern and head back to their homes and grab their clothes niceties and head to the nearest conscription office
Right now in Alex's mind he docent know what effects he brought to the entire draconian empire with his speech but he knows that he must also in the front lines the command and strategy shall be handed to dimitri to which he promoted him to the chief of staff of the armed forces given him de facto command of the entire armed forces.
After much thought he look the city infront of him and with his enhance hearing senses he can hear people cheering some are running back to the factories and some are heading home to gather thier documents although alex didnt focus much on the civilian technology and gave small advancements he plan to change it sooner after the war ended
he turned and exitied the balcony and was greeted by the people who followed him and Alex spoke
"Men lets get to work we have war to win" after speaking everyone left heading to their post and only who stayed were the men he recruited to his generals and governors
"Sean you and your personal army deploy in the northern front and the others move them to the you pick your places but dont overcrowd"
'i need to rename the elite squad into a better one' Alex thought as he left the scene heading to the war room and planned to take a short break before the true war starts.
To be continued
