The streets were rather empty aswell, besides the defensive emplacements inside the walls and on the walls of the giant city walls. Artillery emplacements lay inside the city with their crews while soldiers take position at choke points and on the wall's emplacements. War for Julia was terrible, now being spread open by the Vigentino horde from both sides, fighting was guaranteed to ensure and be the bloodiest this was has seen yet. Viscount Zach Nato no longer wore his robes or royal attire but a muddied and worn officers uniform, presumably someone elses. It had been a while since he had done army operations, having done some basic officer and military training when he was younger in his teenage years. However life had not been what was promised by his father, a quaint small nation quiet and peaceful now that a series of wars in the 1870s-90s ended over various disputes of land. The wars that his father fought and his generals, all of them gone but one, Commander Mark Killigan. Despite the abysmal failures of Nato and his cabinet the Commander still stood with him and the home guard, now diminished after the road blocks were destoryed by the Vigentino force. Earlier that day [color=ec008c]Etello Scianna[/color] was shot and killed by a firing squad, the reason - instigation of the war. If people truly believed that then that's what the history book would say. In reality the fat fuck was eating all the food, having failed to recruit any new guards besides prisoners who now have gone rogue to bandit the country side Etelo was nothing but a coward and a agitator for his own gain and nothing more. Regardless, Nato stood up and gathered around his garrision in the area (as summoning all the garrison for the speech would be stupid). About 100-110 men showed up after the call, Nato was standing upon an old Vigentino soap box called "[i]saponem[/i]" by Jared & Skeltzer Corp in Vigentionian. [i]"Men, those who stand with me today and those who have given their lives for Julia let me say I am sorry. I apologize for the way things have been going, the war I've started and the stress I've brought onto us all. However, we as a nation had to stand up and show the world we woulden't be bullied anymore, by the Vigentino menance or the world. We've been on our own, the world has seen and watched us as we've fought for what we've beliefed in. This is our time and still is, we won't let the enemy win. History will remember us, our families will remember us. We were those who decided to defy the tyrants and stand tall united, we won't let the pope have the last laugh. Today, god is de[/i]ad." Later that day rationing of food was enacted for the remaining population, since a majority of civillians (women & children) were evaucuated as refugees there would be more food around, hopefully.

Feeling betrayed by his father for not allowing his wish to let him fight in the captial, Zach continued on west hopefully to find safety in the country of Vigentino.[/center]
