Central Calendar year 1639, April 6th,Principality of Kua Toine, governmental meeting
The western town of Gim had fallen to Laurian forces. Furthermore, it was a catastrophe where nearly all of its citizens that remained were massacred. The meeting was infected with an oppressive mood.
"Please give us the latest report," Prime Minister Kanata ordered.
The military officer broke into a cold sweat.
"Sir! The western region surrounding Gim is now occupied by Laurian forces. Their invasion force currently consists of over 44 000 soldiers. Our spies report that Lauria mobilized 500 000 soldiers in all. In addition, the Papaldia Empire of the Third Civilization, the superpower of Fillades, is rumored to be providing military support. While this rumor is unconfirmed,Lauria does have 500 wyverns at their disposal.Finally,over 4000 Laurian ships have left port yesterday, their whereabouts unknown."
Total silence. The meeting attendees held their collective breath as the information from the report slowly sank in. The number "500 000" was 10 times the size of their own total forces, including their reserve forces. On top of that, they had 500 wyverns. If that was not bad enough, there were over 4000 unaccounted ships.Lauria was dead serious in their continental conquest, and there was absolutely nothing Kua Toine could do to stop them.Alone that is. Germany had said that around the same time Lauria invaded,they did the same to them,And said that victory will come quick.But even then it was a 5 to 1 advantage to lauria,Many began to doubt if Germany could even beat that. Suddenly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs raised his hand.
"Mr. Prime Minister, may I speak?"
"What is it?"
"Actually, when this meeting was about to begin, we received a message from the German embassy."
"What did they say?"
"Yes... let me read it out loud."
[the people of Germany cannot overlook the brutal conquest and inhumane massacre of the town of Gim in Kua Toine,such acts are those of bestial hordes,devoid of all human emotions of love and peace. We insist that you allow us to annihilate such brutes.We are in action in many point as we speak,many towns and villages have fallen to us,Justice shall be done,our Military will destroy them for you.]
"...is the text of the message."
''I see,they want to crush them as fast as possible,Very well allow them to do as they please''
The room started buzzing with noise. It felt like the sun of hope was rising after a long, dark night of despair.
"Yes sir!"
"Give orders to all remaining knight orders and dragon squadrons to cooperate fully with Germany!"
"Understood!"
Meanwhile,On the seas towards Myhak
2 ships were sailing towards the port,the SMS Bismarck and the SMS Jade,The most powerful German Battleship and their newest Carrier were sent to expel 4400 ships alone,Ludwig looked at the seas with slight worry.What if they were more powerful than he was told? if that's the case then they could lose. But thankfully he was on the Bismarck,since they found the world was much in love with air power,all German ships were given more AAA,Battleships got 12 twin 20mm,Carriers and Cruisers got 8 twin 20mm and destroyers got 6 twin 20mm to create a flied of death for the enemy,this would help a lot should his worse fears come to fruit. He pushed such ideas away for now,The Navy was needed to push them back,and with 8 381mm barrels and well over 1000 shells to rain down upon the enemy,As he watched the ocean,time passed with uncertainty.Ludwig was drafting plans for the Upcoming naval battle.
