On July 5, Archbishop Henry ordered a blockade on the railways surrounding the King's Capital, prohibiting trains from entering the area and beginning emergency wartime preparations.
In the current situation where all cities and towns had fallen into the hands of the Church of Truth, the railways were of no use to Peterburg, as no more supplies or soldiers would be transported. If the railways weren't sealed off, the only ones to arrive in Peterburg by train would be the enemy.
Peterburg entered a state of complete lockdown, with all food, medicine, and liquor from shops and bars requisitioned and sent to the military.
This news quickly reached Moscow.
Upon learning that Archbishop Henry had started emergency war preparations and had not chosen to deploy the military to suppress the Rebel Armies across the land, Marvin immediately went to the adjacent Kremlin Palace and found Katerina.
"Your Highness, about the situation in Peterburg..."
"I am already aware," she replied.
