Fierce Fighting lasted in Lostwolf Den for another month as fresh reinforcements were shipping in from Swiftencounter Den, in addition to the stubborn Swiftencounter Defenders who fought for every inch of land.

On March Fifteenth, Colonel Lia Nightwolf marched into the Capitol of Lostwolf Den after 3 months of Occupation by the Enemy.    There, she made her pledge to avenge the deaths of her friends, and a week later, set out for the Swiftencounter Boarder.

Fierce Fighting on March 30th in the fields just shy of the boarder resulted in another Tank Battle.  Colonel Nightwolf's  Tiger was disabled, but she survived minor burns to lead her Troops to Victory, riding right up to the Boarder Crossing she  had ordered shelled by Hylian and Imperial Artillery.

On April 2nd, she crossed into Swiftencounter Den with a massive Armor Assault using new M1 Abrams Tanks of the Hylian 1st  Army, newly arrived from the Kingdom of Hylia, and a Reinforcement Battalion of Panzer VIB King Tigers.

Just like the Swiftencounter marched over Lostwolf Den, Colonel Nightwolf did the same to them.  She ruthlessly fought for  every town, and launched punishing Blitzkrieg attacks on staging areas for a Swiftencounter Counter-Attack with the re-built  aHalyian Luftwaffe.  On Militia Day, April 15th 2377, with Hylian and aHalyian Tanks aimed at their Capitol, Swiftencounter  Den gave an Unconditional Surrender.  The War in the North was over.  Colonel Nightwolf, the Victorious Commander, gave  Colonel Koshi Firewolf the Governorship of Swiftencounter Den as she raised the aHalyian Flag over the Swiftencounter  Capitol.

Even as the War was growing in the northern half of the Ayenee Continent, the Hylians were planning a counter to the  Gryphon Warlords in the far eastern Continent of the Former Crystal Kingdom (FCK).

On December 23rd, a formation of B17F Flying Fortress Bombers of the 93rd Bombardment Squadron, Hylian Air National Guard, launched from Diana Airbase bombed a coastal Fortress on the West Coast of the FCK.    Casualties were light, but they were only the beginning.  Every other day, until the Cease-Fire agreement was signed on May  30th, the Hylians bombed strategic targets in the FCK from Air Fields in East Rock, 4th Island, and Neherat Province in East Hylia.

Even as the Bombers were winging overhead, the Hylian Navy was mobilizing.  The Warlords had to be shipping the  Swiftencounter supplies from some port, so every ship in the Eastern Fleet set sail.  All six Aircraft Carriers were divided  into three Battlegroups headed by a squadron of Battlecruisers and Battleships.  Attack and Missile Subs roamed freely,  hunting ships bearing the Golden flag of the Gryphon Warlords.

In late January, the Guided Missile Cruiser Merau launched Cruise Missiles at key western ports, striking docks and loading  facilities.  The Guided Missile Cruisers California and Ticonderoga fired at Shipyards that were located by Recon Photos to attempt to keep the Warlords from getting a strong Navy.

On January 29th, B-29 Bombers of the Hylian Royal Air Force's 299th Bombardment Wing bombed the Port City of Northam,  laying waste to what appeared to be Submarine Pens.

On February 1st, 2377, the Hylian Royal Air Force in cooperation with the Hylian Royal Navy launched Operation: Nuclear  Storm.  For a solid week, Carrier-Launched Aircraft from the Aircraft Carriers Enterprise and Lexington escorted pairs of B-52 Bombers from the Hylian 144th Tactical Strike Wing into the FCK.  There they carpet bombed relentlessly fortresses and  suspected airfields where Intelligence, gathered from lone squads of Rangers parachuted into the FCK, said that Technology was being developed.
