The Vatican’s Answer to Italy's Defense

Spanish forces opened a fierce offensive against Sardinia, striking quickly with the intent to fracture the coastal defenses of Italy.

The first waves were aggressive and coordinated, pushing pressure onto multiple points at once. Italy responded without delay. Defensive lines were reinforced, positions were held under strain, and what began as a sudden invasion slowed into a grinding confrontation across the island.

In the midst of rising tension, the Vatican answered to its defensive pact with Italy. Vatican-aligned forces entered the conflict, reinforcing critical sectors and stabilizing collapsing fronts. The arrival did not just add strength—it restored balance at a decisive moment.

By the end of the first phase, the Spanish advance was halted and pushed back. Sardinia remained in Italian control, marking a clear first-round defensive victory.

Yet this is only the beginning. The Spanish forces, now regrouping under the banner of the Spanish Inquisition, are expected to return with greater force.

And so, the message spreads across the front:

Italy stands. The Vatican stands with it. Now the call goes out: take up arms, hold the line, and prepare for what comes next. Alla Vittoria!
