【특보】제도의 계엄령 해제되다

오랫동안 혼란스러웠던 제도였지만, 귀족 연합은 역적의 배제에 성공했다고 발표. 모반을 계획한 일부 정규군 세력은 일소되었다고 한다. 귀족 연합의 주재 카이엔 공작은 「제도의 안전은 확보되었다」라며 계엄령의 해제를 선언했다.

국방의 중심인 정규군에 의한 반란, 도시 안에서의 격렬한 전투. 이번 소란에 대해 아직도 불안의 소리도 들리고 있다. 이제 하나의 고비를 맞이하였다. 「제도의 안전은 보장한다. 맡겨 두도록」（귀족 연합군 수비대장）

◆역적의 잔당은◆

이번 반란에는 다수의 협력자가 있다고 보고 귀족 연합은 계속 관계자의 수색과 체포를 진행하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 오스본 전 재상 암살과 관련이 있다고 의심하고 있다.

또, 일부 육군 기갑사단이 “적군”화되어 각지에서 귀족 연합군과 교전 상태에 있다. 이것은 확실하게 폐하의 배신이다. 각지의 정규군, 기갑사단은 신속히 투항해야 할 것이다.

【사회】황족들이 휴양을 할 것으로

황족들이 당분간 휴양 상태에 들어 갈 것으로 전망된다. 궁내청은 경비 강화 때문이라고 설명했지만, 일련의 동란에 의한 마음 고생이 원인이라며 관계자는 걱정을 하고 있다. 또, 내전에 대해서는 충의를 다하라는 지시가 있었다는 관계자의 이야기도 있었다. 귀족 연합에서는 유일하게 행방을 알 수 없는 올리발트 전하에 대해서는 사건에 말려들었을 가능성이 있다고 보고 수색에 열을 올리고 있다.

【르포】《기갑병》공개되다

제도 방위를 맏을 신병기 《기갑병》이 보도진에 공개 되었다. 전고 7에이쥬의 인형 유인 병기는 믿음직해 보였다.

정의를 집행하는 『정의의 기사』라 불리는 이 신병기가 반란 저지에 활약하는 모습도 기억이 선명하다. 이를 소유한 귀족 연합군은 이후 전 국토에 배치하겠다고 한다.

【속보】크로이첸주, 내부를 대부분 제압

크로이첸주는 내부의 반란 세력을 대부분 제압했다고 발표했다. 일부 계속되는 전투도 곧 마무리가 될 것으로 보인다.

군 관계자는「폐하께 우리의 활약을 보여드리겠다」 며 잔당 토벌의 의지를 불태웠다. 또 소탕 작전에 의해 다수의 마을이 전화에 말려든 듯하다. 조기 종전을 간절히 바란다.

【통지】지명수배범 제보를 기다린다

모반이 의심되는 철도헌병대 등의 정규군 장교, 구혁신파 정치가나 그 협력가, 일부 학생 등을 지명수배 중이다. 제국의 위신에 영향을 끼치는 중요한 사건이니 짚이는 것이 있다면 근처의 귀족 연합 영방군에 신고할 것.

Issue 1

[Breaking] Martial Law in Heimdallr Lifted

The Vermillion Capital of Heimdallr has been in a state of chaos since the late chancellor's address, but that appears to be coming to a close due in full to the tireless efforts of the Noble Alliance.

The alliance has officially announced its hasty defeat over the rebels lurking within the city's bounds, as well as declared that the elements in the former Imperial Army who plotted the rebellion have been all but stamped out.

As a result, martial law in the city has finally been lifted, with Noble Alliance Supreme Commander Duke Cayenne confidently stating: 'The capital's safety is now assured.'

That one of the pillars of the Empire's security would start a rebellion to begin with has been a shock to the nation as a whole, and a heavy sense of dread grows among the citizens.

The situation is not without its positives, however, as the alliance forces have valiantly sworn to continue safeguarding the city. Upon reaching out for comment, they claimed their actions were merely a part of one's duty.

One can only hope that placing our trust in these brave men and women will mark a turning point in returning peace to our great nation.

◆What of the Rebels?◆

It is certain that the rebels responsible for organizing the uprising have far more allies than is currently known, and the Noble Alliance is working day and night to both find and apprehend all those who had any involvement with this unconscionable act of treason.

It is also suspected that the recent assassination of former chancellor 길리아스 오스본 may have been the work of the rebels as well. A reliable source told us, 'While our investigation is still underway, we believe there is far more to all of this than initially anticipated.'

As it stands, a number of the army's armored divisions are continuing to act in a manner truly unfit for citizens of the Empire, frequently instigating conflict against alliance forces stationed across the country.

The same thoughts are no doubt running through the minds of every Erebonian citizen: what would possibly inspire such clear acts of betrayal towards His Majesty? At what point will the guilty parties come forward and surrender?

We of the Imperial Chronicle say: Only time will tell.

[Society] The Imperial Family Rests

In light of recent events, the Imperial family is expected to remain inside Valflame Palace in comfort.

The Imperial Household Agency has reassured the public that this move is only for security reasons, but those close to the family have expressed concerns, speculating the true reason to be that they may be deeply distressed by the current chaotic state of the nation.

At least one member of the Noble Alliance has reached out to us to further clarify the Imperial family's position, relaying His Majesty's instructions to 'do what must be done for the sake of the Empire.'

As of this publication, the only member of the Imperial family unaccounted for is His Highness Prince Olivert. Fearing for his safety, the Noble Alliance has assured it is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to locate him.

[Report] Soldats Unveiled

The new weapons being developed to ensure the safety of the Vermillion Capital, now known as Panzer Soldats, were formally unveiled in a private press event. Standing at seven arge tall, the manned behemoths were immediately met with an overwhelmingly positive reception, being welcomed both as symbols of a strength and as a perfect weapon for keeping Erebonia's people protected.

Some have referred to the Soldats as 'Knights of Justice,' and indeed, the memory of them fighting battle after battle to prevent the rebels' uprising is still fresh in our minds. The Noble Alliance is planning to station them throughout the Empire to aid in the fight against enemy forces.

[Breaking] Kreuzen Province Almost Fully Under Control

The Kreuzen Province may be the first to fully eradicate all rebellious elements if a recent announcement is any indication. While some battles are still ongoing within the province's borders, their end seems to only be a matter of time.

A source connected to the forces confided that he 'hopes His Majesty will be proud of our work,' further expressing how his men were wholly dedicated to the elimination of the rebels in the region.

Regrettably, a large number of villages and towns have been caught up in the conflict, giving us one more reason to pray this war comes to an end as soon as possible.

[Notice] Information on Wanted Persons Needed

A large number of persons believed to have some connection to the rebellion are wanted, including members of the Railway Military Police, officers in other parts of the Imperial Army, politicians in the former Reformist Faction, and even a small number of students.

For the good of our nation's dignity, citizens with any information at all that could lead to their capture are urged to come forward and inform a member of the Noble Alliance forces or their local provincial army as soon as possible.
