The [b]60th Infantry Division[/b] remains behind at New Vilkst as a reserve guard, while the remainder advance north under command of Generalleutnant Alban Kunkel.

The [b]XII Corps[/b], bogged down with an incredulous amount of horse drawn artillery, moves at less than 3 kilometer's per day, navigating a country without a single road in it. The sloping southern Savannah gives way to a belt line of coarse trees, and the [b]XII Corps[/b] continues it's trek into the jungle. [b]September 15th[/b] The [color=gray][b]Kalpian 3rd Army[/b][/color] (100,000 65 Eckehard 7.5 cm Field Guns, 35 Gubeat Field Guns, 300 FT-18 machine guns) lands at the Kamenese city of Piyengo. With a population of only 185,000 the city is strained and the Emperor's Adjutant Kidengo II declares Piyengo an open city. The army, because of it's size and the lack of port facilities will not be fully unloaded until early October. The troops that are unloaded begin setting up a defensive perimeter outside the city, though no Kamenese troops are ever encountered. [b]September 16th[/b] After significant technical delays, the [i]Zaba[/i] and [i]Untiring[/i], Wave-class light cruisers weighing in at just under 4,000 tons are sent off the slipways and commissioned into the Survaekom Navy.

[b]September 21st[/b] Potential danger in [i]Zellonian Vakellia[/i] is averted when the colonial governor orders martial lock down on several fringe settlements. This prevents Tavirongan bandits from entering the province. Regulars of the [b]Zellonian Empire[/b] are ordered to the front to protect the new borders. [b]September 28th-30th[/b] The [i]Surv-Vyaez Expeditionary Force[/i] of the [b][color=maroon]Grand Survaek Empire[/color][/b] ([i]3 CL, 9 DD[/i]) escorts five transport barges to the Kamenese capital of Kima. They are spotted by the [b][color=gray]Kalpian[/color][/b] light cruiser [i]Thaungrer[/i] off the coast, who turns and heads north to the captured port of Piyengo to report what they saw.[/indent] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/guyxQeY.png[/img] [i]Kemo-Kalpian War, September 1906[/i][/center]
