Troops Mobilised As War Looms

Across the Bricks region, countries are mobilising their military as the threat of a second regional war looms. There are fears that Malatia will invade Brikvania anytime soon, and drawing all minifigs into another major military conflict.

The Kingdom of Legonia has announced 25,000 reserve troops are being mobilised. 10,000 will be deployed in Suva and Equanter while 15,000 will be deployed along the Legonian-Brikvanian border.

It is expected Brikvanian refugees will flood into Legonia once Malatia began their invasion of Brikvania. "There is no plan to deploy Legonian troops to fight inside Brikvania", said a Legonian government spokesman.

The 15,000 extra Legonian troops along the Brikvanian border will assist local police to manage the expected large number of refugees.

Legonia is also expected to deploy up to 200 tanks inside Equanter and Suva, which shares border with Malatia, along with more combat aircraft.

In Equanter, the Equanterian Defence Force (EDF) has canceled all leave for its personnel. Two EDF regiments are being forward deployed along the border with Malatia to beef up security presence there. The kingdoms of Fabuland and Caledon have also pledged to deploy up to 10,000 troops to Equanter and Suva. About 500 Fabus troops have already arrived in Equanter since two days ago.

Malatia has condemned the mobilisation as an act of war. "The imperial stooge of Legonia has spread fear and misinformation against Malatia. We do not seek war but will be ready for one", said a Malatian defence official.

Meanwhile in Brikvaia, Legonia and Equanter have reduced their diplomatic presence in Briktown, the capital of Brikvania. King Brik II of Brikvania has criticised the move, saying that it has spread panic in Brikvania. 

"I urge all minifigs to think rationally and to avoid creating panic", said King Brik.
