Of course, the people that were there were shocked; terrified, even. Everyone who did not support Nineveh began rioting while others planned to leave. Of course, all of them were shushed by the Kingdom's soldiers.
As soon as The Kingdom of Nineveh was established, the divinities and spirits became aware that Earth would once more be embroiled in chaos, but this time, humanity shall be the one to make humanity suffer. They immediately retracted their support from the people of Nineveh, with some that were late to do so be forced to stay by the Magi of the Kingdom by using the knowledge that was given to humanity by none other than they themselves.
Those that escaped soon relayed the information to the other two capitals. Immediately, the people denounced Nineveh's actions, saying things in the line of "This would cause chaos which was not in line with the teachings of God" and "This would undermine the authority of the other capitals". One of the ways of their ways to invalidate the Kingdom's existence is ignoring their change of name, continuing by calling them "People of the land of Shinar". They also reprimanded and warned the other cities under Ham's dominion, saying that they must not support Shinar's claims that would bring unnecessary fights between brothers.
Back in Ham's dominion. of course, some of the cities under Ham's dominion that did not agree to their ways did not snitch to the people of Jerusalem but still renounced their actions, claiming that they were doing something that was against God's teachings of peace and harmony. Without a doubt, their voices were received by deaf ears as the staunch army of the Kingdom besieged the opposing cities, one of which was the City of Tiren. Tiren was a city open like all newly established cities, having no walls that was shared by the three dominions beforehand. It was a zone where all the descendants and followers of the three forefathers were united with reasons except for religion.
When Tiren fell under strict Ninevite military influence, it became a wake-up call that sent a huge distress throughout the West. It was normal for Ham's descendants to declare independence for their territories, but it seems they weren't content. The people of the Empire once thought that Nineveh would only fight diplomatically, with talks and renouncing remarks, but it seems that they want to go back to the ancient ways of war.
The dominions of the Empire began creating a military, but contending against an advanced and knowledgeable force like that of Shinar's, it would only prove to be futile. Kanesh's absolute focus on nature made them useless in battle, while Jerusalem's fighting prowess are focused on the spiritual aspect.
Nineveh's banner fluttered with the wind as the next war approached. Spears and swords were up in the air as the army marched towards their target. Jerusalem was up and ready, waiting for Nineveh's armies to march in front of their doorsteps, but it was all for naught. It wasn't the Glorious Capital Shinar is attacking; it was the peaceful and harmless Kanesh; the lush and life-filled land, a haven of resources.
Magical attacks rained down upon the cities of Japheth. Without any capabilities in warfare or defense, Kanesh and the cities before them were decimated by the powerful and merciless army. The surviving people were then sent back to the Capital Shinar as slaves to continue their projects in their homeland.
No one in the Empire expected Nineveh to make such a move, because killing a harmless ant is logically and morally frowned upon by many, yet the Ninevites did not care for anyone's opinion. For now, no one knows the secret to longer lifespan, and because of Jerusalem's ban on feasting, no one did discover the truth.
As soon as the news of Nineveh's attack on Kanesh reached their ears, Jerusalem's men hurried night and day to pursue the invading army. While they were doing so, the Ninevites continued its way towards the City of Troia, the last defenses to the wider lands of the West. Still the situation there wasn't anything different. Troia easily fell in the hands of Nineveh.
But it seemed that Heaven still hasn't forsaken the descendants of Japheth. While the people of Japheth were evacuating to the Far West, a man of mysterious origin suddenly appeared before the isthmus that connects the two lands. With a large tome on his hand, he summoned a huge wave of water from the north, raging towards the enemy lines. The land bridge was successfully destroyed, with the two domains separated by a body of water so treacherous that anyone who dared cross it would be devoured by it.
Some of the Ninevite soldiers that survived then journeyed back to report what had happened, but they were soon caught by the Empire's army. It was then that the remaining Ninevite soldiers discovered that all of Japheth's territory that were captured by them was reconquered and placed under Jerusalem's care while some of the suppose-to-be slaves that were caught by the Ninevite army were rescued by Jerusalem's soldiers. Although a lot still arrived in the Kingdom's territory, it is still good that they rescued some, which made the Empire become truly aware of the lengths that Shinar had gone and would go to capture the cities under the influence of Japheth.
It was obvious to them what Nimrod, the King of Nineveh, wanted; domination. With that said, Jerusalem now started to take the matter more seriously. They realized late that they once again underestimated the land of Shinar, thinking that they were fighting simple warfare, not expecting them to use majorly overwhelming force and cunning to decimate those who stands in their way. This time, Jerusalem would now be amassing more power, preparing everyone for a full-blown war.
In the City of Shinar, because of the slaves that arrived in their gates, they all thought that the conquest was successful. They continuously produced more battle armaments and trained more soldiers as they prepare to march to the gates of Jerusalem next. As the two prepared for war, Earth was once again on the path to destruction.
