The Conquest of Latvia (1)

The city of Ladar was nestled close to the largest port in Latvia, making it a bustling hub of trade and commerce. With a population of around 200,000, Ladar was a vibrant city. However, the streets of Ladar, once bustling with traders and merchants, were now in chaos. The city's medieval stone buildings shook as explosions tore through its defences. Fire raged in different parts of the city, and the sky was darkened by thick clouds of dust and smoke.

Through the ruined main entrance, a line of Chieftain Mk.5 tanks rolled in, their powerful cannons still hot from the recent fire. Behind them, armoured personnel carriers (APCs) rumbled forward, carrying squads of heavily armed soldiers from the Bernard Empire. These soldiers, clad in modern combat gear, moved with precision, their assault rifles raised as they scanned for any sign of resistance.
