The Garrelia Fortress stuff happened towards the very end of Cold Steel 1.

Crossbell declared independence, Erebonia and Calvard were like "lol no," so Crossbell was like "what a shame we're the financial capital of the continent" and freezed everyone's assets and then Garrelia Fortress got annihilated, with the news of it crashing the dance festival in CS1. That bit had nothing to do with the Noble Faction. They, through Crow's ILF, had attacked it about a month earlier to all this happening with the intent of firing its massive cannons at Crossbell because Osborne was there at a conference but Class VII forced them out before anything significant happened and "officially" the attack never happened but that was unrelated.

Right, okay, and maybe I'm getting my sequencing mixed up, but my memory of Garrelia Fortress getting annihilated didn't have as much to do with the Crossbell incident as the noble attack because it was basically concurrent. The game opens with a flash-forward to the cannon thing, which happens considerably before the festival. While there's still some talk about tensions with Crossbell after their declarations for independence, I thought Garrelia went boom at almost the same time that Crow shot the chancellor and the soldats took the capital. So if Crossbell was behind the attack on Garrelia, that's remarkable timing (or planning.)
