Fetrograd had fallen. Almost 4,500 Itheraen men out of 14,000 lay dead in ground, having bravely fought to try and drive out the siege for their Seronan brothers in arms. Sadly, the men just couldn't break them, no matter how hard they pushed against the Karumi lines, no matter if they could kill any or not. The offensive had been broken and it was an unfortunate wake up call to the Itheraen men who thought themselves immortal. They were men, regular men who now knew of the terrors of war, the fear of dying, the fear of having their brothers torn to pieces right next to them. It was a tragedy that they would have to accept, yet even with this loss, they refused to leave.

So they marched East, to the Seronan 12th Army to help establish a new defensive line and hopefully half any more Karumi advances, a light hope that they could be driven back. However, that hope was fleeting, and it was far more likely that even with Itheraen aid, the Seronans would fall and their efforts would be for naught. With just under two divisions remaining, the First Itheraen Regiment and the Second Dio Regiment, under the express command of Alasd Stratos, would do their best to aid the Seronans by establishing that new defensive line. No more Seronan land would fall under the Itheraen watch.
