The Egelian Royal Armed Forces have finally reached the capital of New Endralon and Kizenia after month of fighting and close-combat. Previously, Nadiyan sources confirmed that their troops had quickly managed to get across the countryside with ease. Nadiyan officials prioritized a quick war, while Cartablanca adopted a more incisive campaign, hoping to achieve stability over annexation.

The final ICBMS from the ATENEA system were launched at Portesti this afternoon as the Egelian Royal Marines marched in. Several fighter jets and air support covered the march into the city as opposition was intense. Urban fighting reached its peak inside the capital where Royal Marines have taken multiple casualties. There are however more casualties on the Kizenian side as constant artillery attacks and aerial bombardments have flattened key enemy areas. 

The Golden Caps, Egelion's special forces, have spent the entire war period hunting for underground resistance and smaller militias in New Endralon to ensure that the post-war period remains peaceful and stable. Cartablanca stated that "the golden caps were sent to hidden locations and dangerous missions to ensure that underground locations and resistance fighters were eliminated to ensure that our transition to peace is stable. We want to ensure to we are actually using resources to end all possible catalysts for conflict." Castillo Garibaldi told the press that the Egelian strategy for the war was to ensure the elimination of all possible counters to peace in the country. While the Nadiyan forces focused more on taking over the countryside with haste, Cartablanca stated that approach would lead to more resistance down the road. Egelion would instead focus on eliminated small hotspots and major underground movements before peace would begin. The war is now expected to end within a few hours.
