Al Kahf, the Land of The Two Halves and beyond

This land has been known to our forces long before we approached these sectors. Al Kahf, The Land of The Two Halves, a name derived due to the parting of the two halves upon 'fal yata lattaf'. From this point forward we move to take the other half of the Quran. This Surah fell in just short of a day, The 14th Army was deployed on the first day to push the resistance forces back against the gates of the 16th Realms.

On the second day, the 6th Army moved in to allow the 18th Army to advance onwards to the city of Al Maryam, which will require less than half the numbers to take the city than needed at Al Kahf, allowing for a more wide scale overall push forward onto further sectors and Realms.

On the Day we attacked Al Maryam, we found ourselves over confident, thinking that the support from these strongholds was enough to pull us through. Our forces were forced to hold our attack upon the Fourth page. The Valley of Al Maryam told stories which mentionned the Stories relating to Bani Isra'eel, these are the fruits of this Surah.

Our shortfall at Al Maryam's Valleys forced our men to leave our ideologies of confidence and we prepared for the next massive push, moving through Al Maryam, and to return to the Surah of my dreams, the White City of Surah Taha.

We will now need to push through these parts quickly in order to regain average pace. Al Ambiyaa and taha awaits our presence. May Allah help us to gather our power and harness it during these times, during the retreat from school.

The unfailing advance

This campaign saw massive victories and defeats over the past month. With no diary entries in between before this present one, I will need to relate to you the falls and rises of our forces.

The swift movement from Al Hud to the city of Surah Ibraheem through to the Empire of Al Isra consisted in a more swift movement and establishing a stronghold in every part, with a full conquest of the city of Surah Ibraheem.
Moving from there onwards to push rapidly into Al Kahf, the Land which separates the two halves at 'yatalattaf'. Ending our one month push at the Valley of Surah Maryam.

This whole month has intensified our campaign's flow, moving through 4 Juz from late April until now, in the final days of May. The advances were more a passive movement through these newly conquered parts, leaving a strong force to keep order of memorisation of these parts until we have completed this campaign insha'Allah, when the Regulatory Force will be deployed to re instill economy and stabilization in recitation.

Surah Al Ibraheem fell with great ease, its people were delighted and instantaneously offered their allegiance to our forces, making it the most successful victory since Surah Yusuf. It is now a beacon for our troops, enabling it for use during required events.

The toughest Battlefields were upon the plains of An Nahl, its walls fortified and high making it impossible to take the main city without the use of heavy artillery units. During our offensive here, an effective artillery strike would be too late and ineffective at that particular stage in time. That was the defense strength of the northern provinces, a full scale attack on the southern forces would spell disaster for my forces, so I took a more passive approach and took a few vital cities in the southern provinces under the control of recitational power, sticking with our expected speed of advancement onto the Empire of Isra.

The Empire of Isra at the gates of the 15th Realms, we knew that we were reaching Half Point, Al Kahf, the Land of the two halves was a stronghold from before. Isra's southern points were too difficult to engage with full power, so we did the same with Isra as we did with An Nahl, leaving a democractical stronghold allowing us to surpass the empire and have majority control over it.
