Shortly before the outset of the war, with the changing of the seasons, the entire Franerri Army was able to make it back from Tafatu, perhaps most notably including the small Experimental Royal Franerri Army Aviation Corp (CEARAF). The 500,000 Standard Infantry, 50,000 Carabineers, and 50,000 Dragoons would be redeployed as follows:
50k Standard Infantry would be sent to the border of Shysil, 100k Standard Infantry would be sent to the border with Galra, 25k Standard Infantry would begin retraining to become Artillery units, and the remaining 325k Standard Infantry would be sent to Toubonne.
In addition, with the outset of war, Franerre would declare a Total Mobilization. Perhaps the most notable act this would entail was the seizure of all civilian vessels on the River Taln. Anything and everything the Franerri government could get their hands on was needed to ferry troops across the river, and cut down what was rapidly being called 'The Great Wait' in Toubonne. As well as that, the Army Engineer Corps were called upon to do whatever they could, be it widening existing bridges, building entire new ones, or repairing any damage.

With the outset of hostilities in Elenerre, a vastly different story was playing out. Word was sent out to every village, town, and city in the province: eat your meat. Slaughter your animals, burn anything you can't eat. The Franerri Army could stomach surviving on vegetables. The spiders could not. But that wasn't all Elenerre had in store for the spiders. Hundreds of arms caches, guns by the dozens and bullets by the hundreds, had already been seeded throughout the province in lone shacks in woods, hidden basements and false walls. The destruction of Elenerre's roads was prepared to the best of the Gendarmerie's ability, but not executed yet. The Franerri Army may need them to retreat or resupply, but at the hint of a Kumo breakthrough, with any luck, any marching spiders would be delayed long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
