The Bolt-Action Rifles, after being used continually for an hour, begin to simply fall apart after repeated use.
A week later, Arcon hears of this and stops production of the rifle. The Conservatian rifles introduced to the Arconian arsenal are scrapped save a select few, which are to be inspected thoroughly for flaws.
Conservatian soldiers simply swap out for their older, and somewhat more powerful muskets. Volley-guns are now being deployed to the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Conservatia begins looking into the problem, and as well as the possibility of maintenance, but puts it on hold for the mean-time.
Citizens panic in the capital of Sonodine City and the construction sites for the ports are abandoned. The Constabulary tries its best to keep order, instigating routine curfew times in case battle breaks out in select cities and issuing ration books in order to stave off hoarding.
Conservatia, rather than appealing to the government, appeals to the citizens to rise up from former oppression from Romek-Inen, saying that otherwise they'll still be considered a part of their patrimony and dealt with as such. They are offered to join the war effort once again, or the sieges will commence.
