Drogheda, Brymme Republic
The Brymmish President, Neill Laudime furrowed his brow as he read the news clipping about the events from the morning. There was significant concern in the government that, after the shots were fired, war with their northern neighbors was an inevitability. There was even more concern given Brymme could hardly be expected to hold off the Arrenlanders for long. This was not to say they wouldn't fight, as they over half a century earlier, but it was not a fight they were likely to win alone.
Naturally, given the way the republic was founded, there were always voices in government focused on opposing Arrenland. There was always an air about the place that, someday, Arrenland might decide to come back. Defenses had been built and Brymme had something of a fortress quality about it, especially on the shoreline. The Brymmish navy had been built up with the express intention of defensive hostility against their northern aggressor.
That being said, there was never any intention of causing the war. Things had certainly gotten out of hand in recent months. Brymme had nearly always supported some separatist movements and other ne'er-do-wells in Arrenland proper, but would never employ the use of terrorism in its efforts. The attacks had come to the shock of the government. All support was cut off to any group that was even remotely affiliated with the area, for fear of being found out. The military was put on minor alert, and defensive patrols began in earnest.
Then came the events of today. This would surely be trouble. The Arrenlander ambassador had already been summoned and would be soon to arrive. Laudime looked forward to his arrival, where hopefully some explanations could be made, and war could be avoided.
