Skohlm - Prime Minister's office
The phone rang as Prime Minister Hansen was shifting through paperwork. Setting it down, he picked up the phone.
"Hansen." He said, bluntly.
"Good morning, prime minister. I have that update you requested yesterday." Came the voice on the other line.
Hansen propped his feet on his desk. "Alright, then, let's hear it."
"The Lauchenoirian military has conducted a retaliation strike, as predicted. The fighting went on for a few hours until 75th Armoured arrived, sending them retreating. All's quiet on the front now, sir."
"Excellent. Have 5th Airborne pack up Beachhead as soon as those inmates get evac'd, we're moving main operational HQ to Summersea. Expect a coordinated counter-attack from Lauchenoiria and it's allies within the week, by then we should have the city locked down well enough to repel anything they throw at us."
"There's one other thing, sir."
"Do tell."
"75th arrived shortly after Laeralian troops landed in the city to aid in the repelling of the Lauchenoirian strike."
Hansen relaxed in his chair, smiling. "Laeralites sent lethal aid? Remind me to commend the Laeralian prime minister on growing a second testicle."
"Very good, prime minister."
He hung up.
"I'll be damned..." Hansen muttered, still pleasantly surprised by Laeral's military action. He picked up his paperwork, continuing where he left off.
